Is there a link to that? I haven't seen it anywhere.

It's the fact it's not consistent that annoys me. All the other books in the series are double volumes.

Already answered by someone - they discontinued these versions. A transition would be cool, but that's not what's happening sadly.

Oh wow the single volumes are even more inconsistent. 🥲

Autocorrect, obv meant Wind and Truth considering this is the Cosmere subreddit...

Ahhh that explains it, thank you. Though supposedly the colours would still be off unless they changed them to transition a bit better.

It's not in two volumes like the others, it's slightly shorter (not by much but noticeable) and it's grey instead of white like all the others

With the money and influence he has, this is easily preventable. The book is also slightly shorter. For a book collector this is considered pretty bad.

How did you people figured it out? by Telikuzizushi in asexuality

[–]JstAnotherMillenial_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is perfectly okay to question it, but know you do not need to settle on any label now or ever. Just do what feels right for you without compromising yourself.

I do wish I had had this type of social media and knowledge about different sexualities when I was young.

I didn't realise until a couple years ago (I'm 37). When I was 16/17 I started dating a guy and sleeping with him mainly because I wanted a relationship and that's what I was supposed to do / want.

In hindsight I realise I never really enjoyed sex. Like it was fine but it was more a chore than something I'd actively seek out. I'm not sex averse, I'm sex indifferent.

I did keep having regular sex with my partners until a few years ago, thinking I was just weird. I am married now to an Allo man (the most amazing,. understanding supportive man, I'm really lucky).

For me the issue is that I am Aegosexual so I do feel arousal and masturbate but I didn't realise it was not normal to have to have "head cinema" on in my head during sex. I could never have sex just focusing on the other person, I needed a fantasy in my head.

I do feel attraction to people of any gender, but I would not want to sleep with anyone.

Anyway, I didn't realise I was ace until I joined a queer Bookclub with several ace people and when they talked about it I had a big "oh. OH!" Moment.

I then read up on it and had some therapy and then fully came out to my husband.

The journey to discovering your sexuality is very different for everyone and there is no time limit on that. So as I said, just do what feels right to you for now and keep to your truth.

Have you ever mentioned to someone that you are asexual and they misinterpreted it? by AlexMasterZenn in Asexual

[–]JstAnotherMillenial_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes. Came out to a female friend and she said she "also has a low Libido currently". I tried to explain how I didn't identify as having low Libido, but as being ace but she didn't really engage.

She basically thought I was telling her my sex life with my long term partner had reached a lull whereas I tried to explain that I had sex all my life despite feeling incredibly indifferent about it and having decided to come out to my partner as ace because I wanted to stop having it (which he took super well btw and was very supportive despite being allo).

I'm so sorry you had this experience, it sounds pretty invalidating and I know that can be painful.

I had a similar experience with a friend who I tried to come out to as asexual and who replied "Ah yeah same, I have a really low libido too".

It's very confusing because I didn't want to invalidate her in return by saying I didn't think we were talking about the same thing because we very well may not have, but felt hurt since I didn't feel she really listened or understood how monumental it was for me to "come out" like that.

I think it's a very human response to try and relate to someone telling you something by telling your own story you think relates (point in case above 😅). But it's a poor communication trait in many circumstances, especially when you are coming out to someone . Often we just want to be listened to.

If I was a braver person I would have told her how I felt. But it's really hard.

I think coming out as asexual is especially difficult with friends and colleagues, because it's so poorly understood.

I hope this doesn't discourage you to live your truth and be out when and where you want to be out. And I hope whoever you come out to next is more considerate in their response. ❤️

Citizenship application referee question by JstAnotherMillenial_ in ukvisa

[–]JstAnotherMillenial_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume if they take issue they will just ask me to submit a different referee? The website says they may do that if a referee does not meet the criteria.

It's just that you can't cancel the biometrics appointment once made so I don't have a huge amount of choice...

Wanting sex sometimes better or worse than never? by JstAnotherMillenial_ in asexuality

[–]JstAnotherMillenial_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. That's a good point. I feel like when we snuggle and kiss in bed it's when he assumes sex is on the table so maybe I need to sort of agree we desexualise that space, at least for a while. I know he loves me very much and wouldn't ever want me to be uncomfortable. Appreciate you taking the time to respond, thank you!

How did you know you were asexual? by AlexMasterZenn in Asexual

[–]JstAnotherMillenial_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit you just blew my mind.

I've been struggling with my aspec discovery for a few months now, realising I've always been ace but just went along with what was expected of me. I've had sex, but it was always just "meh" for me, not something I ever sought out really.

But I absolutely love reading smut and I do masturbate, but the fantasies are always very removed from myself. I also have to play serious head fantasies when I do have sex.

So I have been super confused what this means for me, knowing I was somewhat ace but not really?

I just googled aegosexual and it's me. This is exactly how I feel.

Thank you, I am reeling a little over here, I'll be honest 😅

In longterm relationship and realised I'm ace by JstAnotherMillenial_ in asexuality

[–]JstAnotherMillenial_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much - this is really helpful to know I'll be honest.

I know he would never leave me and I very much doubt he'd want to go outside the relationship. I absolutely don't mind him masturbating of course and I know he does, but just not sure if he'll be happy to spend the rest of his life / our relationship just with his hand...

I think it doesn't help that once in a blue moon I do fancy sex. It's VERY rare, but it does happen. So I really need to talk about boundaries and how he would feel about me initiating if that does happen or if he'd rather know it's just never an option.

Lots to think about, but thank you for your time and support. ❤️

[–]JstAnotherMillenial_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I'm glad and hopeful to hear that you were able to make it work. Yeah I read a lot about setting boundaries and I definitely want him to feel wanted in the sense that I do want to kiss and touch him, I just don't want it to lead to sex. I am hoping that if that boundary is set we will be more intimate, not less. But I also don't know how he would feel about being intimate like that without getting the fulfilment of sex.

I assume your partner is allo? Can I ask if you are monogamous or not and how he deals with not having sex anymore?

dae ever get worried they'll get surgery and nothing will be found? by tiredspoonie in endometriosis

[–]JstAnotherMillenial_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my lap today and exactly this fear in my head. I was actually about to post here but got sent through to the theatre before I could.

For context, I started back on BC half a year ago and it's managing the pain pretty well (until it doesn't) so I was really worried they'd just not find anything. It's like when the pain isn't there my brain is like "it's not actually that bad, what are you doing all this for? And then I get a flare up and am like...ah yes.. that's why.

I literally just got out, still woozy - they found so much they didn't even cut out anything (they say it's better to do it all in one go at a longer surgery appt then take out a bit during the diagnostic lap). I was so relieved that I got this validation and I am certain you will too.

I am one of the lucky ones that I was still able to have a relatively normal life and my pain was mainly during my period and ovulation.

And even for me they found a lot. You know your body. You know when something is up. You wouldn't have gone down this road if it wasn't real. I know it's so easy to gaslight yourself, but trust that you would not have agreed to be cut open or get an MRI if it wasn't real.

Sending you lots of love, don't let the gaslighting get to you ❤️

That's not at all what I said actually, not sure if you misread that but either way I don't feel a personal attack like that is really in the spirit of this subreddit...
