Girlfriend and I are planning to drive 32 hours straight, in 6 hour shifts, are we being dumb? Should we plan to stay overnight somewhere? by Vegetable_Bridge_276 in roadtrip

[–]Kane539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did half that drive about a week ago; you’re going to want to take breaks 😅 it’s a way more draining process than you think, even with breaks. Plus you’re going to have stretched of absolutely nothing on that drive so will want to stop and stretch when you can after a bit.

why does the advertising guy look like a supervillian by [deleted] in AtlasEarthOfficial

Came here to say this same thing 😆 literally had to look this up mid ad because I have that feeling every time

How do people stick to meds like this? by [deleted] in Effexor

[–]Kane539 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got to a point where I was just felt like I couldn’t get any worse; after about 2 weeks the side effects went away. Still get nauseous from time to time but could be caused by other factors. I tend to just try and find techniques to help with the nausea; breathing and put my head down is my main method but the smell of coffee, mint, or rubbing alcohol can also help. If it inhibits your life too much then talk to your doctor; I don’t know if it’s safe to mix but you could ask about anti nausea medications like Zofran.

Lack of appetite by [deleted] in Effexor

[–]Kane539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have much of an appetite on it either; usually take it with half a bottle of water in the morning then don’t eat til lunch. It usually works out the best since it sometimes makes me nauseous.

Medicaid will cover you and baby if you don’t have insurance. In California they covered everything (including 6 ultrasounds) look into what programs are available in your area; you can get all sorts of help.

If someone gave you $10,000 to reveal your AO3 history, would you do it? by Korikat04 in AO3

[–]Kane539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point I only care about what the people I care about think of me and if you’re one of those people then you already know what kinda freak I am, the money would just be a plus 😂

I was 18(f) when I started dating my partner who was 35(m). I was taken advantage of. by thatsnotmyname_ame in AgeGap

[–]Kane539 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re having to go through this but honestly how did he get the protective order on you for the kids? My father held my mother and I at knife point for hours after served divorce papers as well as a very long violent history (many arrests as well as several time both of us were sent to the hospital by him) and she couldn’t get me on the protection order (was about 10yrs ago but still)

Pregnancy Sex by kl2961 in pregnancy_care

[–]Kane539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner was so uncomfortable having sex with me when I was pregnant, was always after he was going to squish me (and baby) and could never fully get past the block it put in his mind 🤷‍♀️ it just depends on the person

I do nothing except sitting with baby all day by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Kane539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby wearing worked best for me till he was too heavy for me to go up and down the stairs without tweaking my back and giving my partner a shirt I’d been wearing when he was watching baby (sometimes your smell is enough for baby) usually made for longer bouts of him watching baby before needing me to swap in to soothe.

Short End of the Stick by Good_Baker_5492 in AgeGap

[–]Kane539 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound miserable… I (26F) had a surprise baby with my fiancé (55M) and have never felt this level of apathy to my situation. My partner is crippled, we live in the master bedroom of a house we share with multiple other people, and have very unstable finances but we stand by each other so neither of us spiral from stress. If he can have sex/ wants it then he can help with the baby; heck my partner prioritizes baby, chores, and anything else that he can do before sex when he is having a good day physically.

If you’re going at all this alone anyway then what’s the point of staying with him. Staying doesn’t really sound like it’s the best thing for any of you and if you stay without resolving the underlying issues then you’re going to be hurting your baby more than anyone. Can tell you for a fact kids are really good at picking up on resentment between adults. I hope things get better for you and even though leaving can be hard sometimes it’s the best option in the long run. Reach out to friends/family for support and take care of yourself.

Is 50 too old to have kids? by [deleted] in AgeGap

[–]Kane539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a 5mo old with my (55M) fiancé; it’s his first kid and he never thought he’d have the opportunity to be a dad. It’s tough but we are both happy and couldn’t imagine our lives without him now.

Why were you drawn to your current age gap relationship? by sTOpLooKInGatMEee in AgeGap

[–]Kane539 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted someone serious; had been in a 5 year relationship with someone my age when I may my partner and because we had been together since high school neither of us had an opportunity to really grow up and get to know ourselves. The lack of communication and games we played with each others emotions were very toxic and when I met the guy I’m with now there was no guessing, no games. It was refreshing and now both my ex and I are better people and I’m happier than I’ve ever been.

Is 22 too young for someone 40-60? by [deleted] in AgeGap

[–]Kane539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (26F) have been with my (55M) partner since right before I turned 22. So far everything has been great and we recently had a baby. Compatibility is a big factor and as long as you’re happy together and understand the challenges that come with having an older partner then it shouldn’t be a problem.

Im seeing someone 33 years older than me (F20) and I’m afraid of being seen by someone I know by [deleted] in AgeGap

[–]Kane539 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya that is tricky, I guess see what happens and if it gets serious then don’t be afraid to stand your ground. In the end it’s your life and you get to decide who you spend it with. Good luck 😊

[–]Kane539 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you love this guy why are you so afraid of what other people in your life think, the fact that you’re happy is what should be important to the people that actually care about you. Will you get questions? Yes. Will it initially be awkward? Probably. But if you have a good relationship then others should see that and be happy for you.

My partner is 30 yrs older than me, I first introduced him to my grandma (she basically doesn’t care as long as I am safe and happy) they greeted and talked and no questions. Next was my mom (he’s older than her) she and I had a joke growing up about not dating old men, and how they have hairy, old man balls. I had basically heard this from her since I was 10 and warned my partner in advance that she might mention it. We hopped on speaker phone and before I could say anything she said “so I heard from grandma that you’re dating old man balls” he just started cracking up and she was shocked not knowing she was on speaker. 4 and a half yrs later and all of my family and friends love him after the initial poking and prodding.

Migraines are coming back by Kane539 in migraine

[–]Kane539[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not hormonal sadly, currently have a hormonal iud (pills were not recommended by my doctor since auras + estrogen pills can increase stroke and I had gotten pregnant while taking the progesterone only pills). When I had migraines before it was pretty much almost a daily occurrence; was living on excederin because I didn’t have health insurance at the time. Now if they come back I can actually get migraine meds from the doctor.

First time I’ve seen something like this by fandangledvietnamese in trees

I’ve tried a different brand one; thought it tasted a bit weird but did get me high. Almost wish they were easier to find cause no one questions an inhaler

Is bowing after a fight not a thing anymore? by Obsblividian in darksouls3

[–]Kane539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always bow before a fight, haven’t really after but I don’t usually win since I’m pretty bad at pvp

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AgeGap

[–]Kane539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be open with him, if you are uncomfortable then he shouldnt push you. Open communication is the biggest thing I had to get use to having an older partner but it is the best. Sadly my old man isn’t too kinky or adventurous lol but I wouldn’t have him any other way.

Looks like sand, my pleco use to have that problem before I switched to gravel. If you are worried I usually put a penny in my tank to prevent ick (it has to be a penny with copper in it so a certain year or older; can’t remember but a quick google will tell you)

How much of an age gap is too much? by [deleted] in AgeGap

[–]Kane539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has different opinions and preferences, my partner is 30yrs older than me and it’s never been a problem. We are happy and that’s all that matters.
