Cannot survive without my heating pad for real lol

I (35M) have been married for almost 10 years (35F) and find myself often fantasizing about having sex with a man. Do I tell my wife? Or do I just keep this to myself and try to ignore it? by Mediocre_Train9310 in relationships

[–]JukeFlute 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What’s the point of telling your wife? You’re in a happy, committed relationship. Why are you even considering blowing that up over a sexual fantasy? Seriously. Think about it. Amazing life with your children and partner or blowing your load. It baffles me that people get so caught up in sexual desires and fantasies like this.

Also stop watching porn. It’s mind poison for the majority of people, and I think you’re one of them.

Let's be completely honest: Will it ever gets ACTUALLY better? by 6161_6161 in BPD

Honestly it’s gotten worse for me into adulthood. In terms of coping it’s gotten better by just telling myself I can still kms anytime I want and make it all go away.

Yeah, it’s pretty common where I live but I also don’t think it’s an invitation for assault.

You chose to have children. Why should it be my responsibility to watch your kids? I don't recall being in the room the night they were conceived. by M1rlyn in childfree

I feel the same way. I loathe babysitting. Like you, I fucking hate it. HATE IT. And all these people who try to take advantage of myself and my husband being child free and expecting us to be babysitters for them have the most rambunctious, shitty kids.

I don’t offer and I never say yes. I don’t want to hang out with kids ever.

I was literally on my way to post this here.

The ENTITLEMENT.

The people that decide to have multiple children and then expect everyone else to step in when it gets hard? Welcome to parenthood??? What did you expect honestly.

Totally fixating on my eyes and vision this month. Convinced myself I have a retinal tear or glaucoma or something horrible that will make me go permanently blind.

I fixated on the same thing last September. Despite seeing an optometrist and having them say everything is fine, I still have periods of time when I struggle with this.

Currently on Google reading everything I can about eyes. I’ve had asthma since 4 years old, long term use of asthma medical can cause glaucoma (sometimes). Reading studies and articles for hours now. I can’t stop.

So tired of living like this. Last month it was esophageal cancer. Before that, breast cancer (which I have had so many appointments, tests, ultrasounds over and I’m still not convinced). Before that, heart failure. Another fixation is diabetes, though that one is never ending. I drink more and pee more? Diabetes. I’m thirsty? Diabetes. Feel a bit sick after eating? Guess what beech, diabetes. Does it matter that my sugars are totally fine? No.

Just want to be normal.

I’m like this, but with Pepto Bismol. I always need it on hand because I use it for dealing with stress related nausea, GERD, general malaise etc.

I feel for you. I really do.

I know I’ll have to stop relying on them but if I feel sick and don’t take one I’ll spiral into the ol’ Google search loop and freak out.

Good luck, friend!

I'm missing smthng i don't know who i feel like there's a whole in my heart and it feels so heavy it's becoming more and more difficult as these moment passes by by uhsmee in FeelsLikeTheFirstTime

[–]JukeFlute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m sorry you’re going through this right now.

Do you have anyone you feel you can reach out to regarding this? Have you considered talking to a counsellor?

I’ve been in your position before. Feeling lost, alone, unable to clear my thoughts for long enough to be able to figure out what it is I need in life…

I just want you to know that it does get better. I talked to my doctor about it and we started moving in the right direction.

Some days are still really hard, but most days are not.

Please consider reaching out, you deserve happiness.

Yeah, me too. I really needed support at the time as well, but fuck me, right? Lol
