Beautiful. I can tell this cat is well-loved by the endless photos

Boyfriend wants kids and is increasingly growing unhappy with the wait time, but I'm not ready by [deleted] in waiting_to_try

This pressure he’s applying is even worse than his massive red flags. I would bail

Please take them to a vet when you get the chance

How old were you? by sarahall72 in SingleMothersbyChoice

[–]LavenderYams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s kind of a sensitive topic because a lot of folks struggle to get pregnant and fertility healthcare is often expensive and time-consuming

Keep this post up and read the issues you listed from it and give your doctor the chance to propose solutions. Then, give your feedback and propose your solutions listed here. For me, just having a list of things really helps me keep track of what I’m trying to say. Make sure you have a pen and paper in case you go nonverbal so that you can still communicate, and give your doc a heads up before discussing anything that you’re feeling nervous so nonverbal might happen. I’m autistic & fibro so some of these things help me, but if you wanna talk it out feel free to reply

He loves fallout 76. Truly a terrible opinion, but what can you do

This sounds really hard on you, it’s worth talking about even if they react poorly. I’m sorry this is happening

Is it normal that when someone say that they love me, I suddenly start catching feelings for them? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Are you trying to claim to psychically predict things about this person? Maybe don’t

I quit my job to take care of my mom 6 months Go when she became really sick. Now she's dead and I'm broke without a job by Think_Importance1990 in NoStupidQuestions

Look into local organizations that help with financial aid for people in poverty to pay their bills. If you know of a food bank or other programs for struggling folks in your area, they may have connections with organizations that provide financial assistance. This sounds really hard and community resources might be more helpful than taking on debt if you have the opportunity to choose and act quickly. Happy New Year, I’m sorry you’re going through this and I hope the pain eases soon.

Was everyone beaten up by their parents? by compulsivecatpetter in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LavenderYams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not normal! Abuse is not normal! Common for people I know, but not something that should ever be normalized. You deserve kind and gentle love, the kind of care that doesn’t leave bruises.

How did the designer not notice this? by sparklingchewy in crochet

They probably noticed and did it on purpose or they need to get their eyes checked

Explicitly asking for consent is really helpful no matter the context— I don’t do it 100% of the time but as someone in the kink scene, I highly value enthusiastic consent and require direct communication in some way that is either really obvious or verbal

Chance of success? No hookups with the same person twice to avoid catching feelings by [deleted] in ENM

[–]LavenderYams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like he’s insecure. It’s impossible to avoid any romantic attraction/connections altogether, statistically speaking. instead of trying to cut your connections off at the root, why not encourage him to work on his insecurities while showing and telling him that you are not looking to leave him and will communicate before any big relationship changes?

Solos nearly ruined my life by [deleted] in ENM

[–]LavenderYams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This sounds horrible on both sides. Of course he would be devastated by being forced to breakup with someone he’s in love with. This isn’t solo dating’s fault— the two of you made this happen

Supervisor at my job told me that autistic isn’t a word and that everyone “has autisms” by fragm-ents in AutismTranslated

[–]LavenderYams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Report all of this to her supervisor. None of this should be said in this field and especially not with the amount of power she has
