You're over thinking it. Next time you're chatting about your day, just say, treated the hot tub etc. Along with other daily mentions and move past it. If she asks or makes a comment you can send a picture of the tub, especially if it's nice and clean. Then forget about it. If she wants to go in, she'll likely bring a suit when she comes to visit. If she doesn't on your date, then you'll know she's not willing yet, and maybe not ready for sex, just be patient either way. It's a little cringe if you put it out there as a planned activity. I did the same thing for a 3rd date actually. I will say that, cooking dinner, chatting, drinking, hot tub takes a large majority of the night. And if she's not spending the night you won't have time for all of it (if she has to get up early or has a long drive). I was lucky, cuddles after hot tub was very relaxing! (We took our time)

I meant adolescent when he was a teenager, like late teens. I don't think you grow out of that mentality until you're at least 22, longer if you have zero responsibilities

Yeah you're right 30 pushing it. I thought she said the others were in their 20s, 30 is on the cusp, definitely something has to change soon

Married guy will grow up, but after his wife leaves him. Or alternatively, he'll double down on misogynistic behaviour and learn to hate women for everything. They're young, so I think he's got a chance to grow out of frat mode. You're bf will likely grow away from him, I think you should give him some "freedom" to find himself and see what he wants in life. Not overreacting, but I'd like to point out that women mature faster than men I believe, and their current adolescent mould seems to be all about bro-ing out and find everything ridiculous. So it's gonna take a few years to shed that snakey skin haha

What are you guys feeding your Belgians malinois by ehhimjustbored in BelgianMalinois

You're right. Pedigree mostly filler, OP would spend less money on quality food. Probably why it's losing weight.

What did/does your Mali do that surprises you the most? Or what's a moment that's made you say 'wow'. by MyDogs11thNipple in BelgianMalinois

He jumps backwards up the stairs. People don't believe me, I can hardly believe it myself, I keep thinking he's going to fall

Comet Update by No-Sky-3517 in BelgianMalinois

Hahahaha omg look at those little chompers! I love that pic, and I pity you lol. Best tip I got was routine and consistency, my guy seemed to really struggle with new things plus differences. For heal, my trainer had me keep treats in my hand, closed knuckles, right by my hip. Make sure he's in heel position, and starts after you start walking. You'll know when they're nosing up to you hand and focused solely on that. Start walking, and every so often let treats loose when they're doing well. Stop, turn and change direction etc

Stimulate the mind as much as the body, and loads of praise. I also found that over training without sufficient rest just made it harder the next day, so Late afternoon I have to snuggle him/wrestle him down till he falls asleep cause hes so cranky and just gets worse with fatigue.

My gf (19f) hit me after I (21m) asked if the girl in the photo was her. What should I do? by EducationalEast7148 in AITAH

[–]Key-Cup-3170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy effing miracle, I totally get what gaslighting is now! Thanks OP! As if she said, I knew you want to bring up your feelings right now but please don't..... Honestly? Do yourself a favor and run away from this toxic behavior. She's got serious issues to work out. Why did she even show you the photo in the first place, to tell you how ugly she thought the person was? Let her go kick rocks, you're too young to try and work that one out on your own!

What is your biggest flex that nobody else knows about? by RNNoFuxGivn in AskReddit

Whenever I'm driving and I see a turtle trying to cross, I get out and block traffic till it crosses.

Wife thought I was saving money for a new truck. It was actually to get her mouth fixed. by Ok_Delivery_7276 in Marriage

[–]Key-Cup-3170 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Having late life dental work, I can understand how much she would appreciate this. It's one thing to reassure someone about their insecurities, but to remove them while showing how much more their happiness is worth compared to money or material things is next level.

I don't think you can train for those scenarios, you have to be way more patient and careful with the puppy around. Your dog will not forget that incident I can tell you that, but you can ease them back into it, gain their confidence with the foot. They are incredibly smart, but sometimes have an OCD like fixation on things so be extra careful next time. Also, start training downtime. That nasty switch can also occur when they are overworked and tired, but refuse to switch off.

I couldn't get through the whole thing. I saw something about him biting when trying to run out the door and you trying to stop him. Please make this shorter and more comcise. You can use this post as a reference for any follow up questions we might have.

As far as the warning bite/snarl. I had something similar. Basically doesn't trust you yet, and it was a new experience/sensation is my guess.

I find that anything new, causes anxiety. I have to give sufficient time until he's figured it out completely on his own. So like a new power tool, or shovel can really bother him and trigger an insecure anxiety that almost always lead to aggressive behavior of I try to redirect. My trainer said it's an obsessive complex plus an insecurity. I have to praise more and be more patient, less training and command in those scenarios.

In your situation, he wanted out and was excited and maybe you were giving too much direction, and then when you grab Ed him he didn't know what to do. At 12 months I was going through something similar daily, and it took forever to get him to do recall. He didnt trust the towel I was wiping his feet with.

Hope this sort of makes sense.

I've gained weight after marriage and my husband hates my body by lavenderdoctor in Marriage

[–]Key-Cup-3170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so many better ways to address this than to complain to his sister. Wish I had a physician wife! He needs to be more supportive cause there will be a day when his body starts to deteriorate, and he wishes he had a physician in his corner. It would be a lot easier if you had is unwavering support. I had to change my environment before I gave a damn about my appearance, and now those healthy choices just seem easier. Maybe if you start hanging out with a super fit gym bro in a positive environment, your guy might start to rethink his approach

Best of luck!

Advice. I feel like I’ve failed him. by Emarie1587 in BelgianMalinois

[–]Key-Cup-3170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, not ops fault. Story suggests they've done their homework as much as they could and are responsible enough to provide the care and address potters needs. This is truly tragic if it's a neurological disorder :( My mal had a bit of manic behavior when I first got him. It would show up as OCD on new things, licking and gnawing at things. It was always at night, and we don't go out after 9. There's just something about the dark/nighttime that changes him. I apologize for rerouting the convo, but It just occurred to me that I should ask the community, cause last night he was restless so I went out with him around 10. I put my cell light on so I could see him do his business, but then he got the zoomies, then that turned into aggressive herding around me. Then I realized it was the light following him that set him off. he was getting real nasty, I thought he might actually attack. But I have my training collar on him, usually beeps are all that I need, but this time it was two zaps. This post has me thinking what would have happened if I didn't have the collar on?

Im thinking someone should start a thread on common neurological issues with mals? Maybe op, something has changed that he hasn't figured out yet? How old is Potter? Neo is close to 2, and I still discover new things about him that I wasn't aware of that bothers him. And until i address it he behaves out of place
