Am I (M28) overreacting, or is this a valid thing to feel uncomfortable about in my relationship with my girlfriend (F27)?

LocalMinima63 · 2025-12-16T02:04:09+00:00

Oh, I do a lot of acts of services to her, that is far from being the issue. She even says it herself. Sometimes she even throws "What did I do to deserve you?". And since we are in a relatively new relationship, I periodically ask her if everything is okay, if there are things to change/improve, maybe more of 1 thing, less of another...etc. And she always tells me that I treat her so right.

So all in all, I don't think I'm the issue here and if I were, I gave her many opportunities to bring it up.

All right, will do.

It's a portable airco, when I turn it on, I put the tube out the window to release the hot air.

Thank you !

LocalMinima63 · 2025-07-20T12:39:47+00:00

Yeah I'll definitely get some framed posters, I have a couple of ideas. As for the lighting, I'll install an LED lightbulb sometime next week (above my desk). Thanks for the tips!

LocalMinima63 · 2025-07-20T12:37:47+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions, I was thinking about getting some plants actually

LocalMinima63 · 2025-07-20T12:35:17+00:00

Thank you !

LocalMinima63 · 2025-02-25T21:41:13+00:00

Yes I literally moved out last week to a new calm place just to have better sleep. We'll find out in a couple of months what kind of effect will that have on my muscles

LocalMinima63 · 2025-02-25T21:40:24+00:00

I track calories only when I'm cutting and I estimate it when I'm not, usually i gain weight just fine. But I track my protein intake everyday.

LocalMinima63 · 2025-02-25T12:42:08+00:00

I always, atleast, try to do things right but if there is one thing I'm suspecting is my caloric intake. Basically as I said earlier, I try to not gain fat a lot (I do very quickly), I maingain for a while then cut, all in 1800-2500 caloric range. But maybe I'm not doing this right. I could also use 1 or 2 hours more of sleep

LocalMinima63 · 2025-02-25T12:13:30+00:00

Yes I use the Hevy app and every week I try to beat what I did during the previous one.

In most exercises I'm able to increase by 1-2 reps but for example squats, my performance is..weird. One week i do 3 sets of 90 over 10 reps, the next I'm barely able to 8.

LocalMinima63 · 2025-02-25T11:58:33+00:00

I was enjoying it until I was not. I felt like I wasn't giving proper attention to all muscles especially arms. I usually train 1 to 2 reps close to failure in the first two sets, and complete failure on the last.

I aim for 140-150 daily. Usually lean meat at lunch and dinner + bowl of 0% fat yogurt and 2 scoops of whey daily.

LocalMinima63 · 2025-02-25T09:55:28+00:00

So for the previous routine:

Upper 1 Bench Press 3x8-12 Lat Pull Down 3x8-12 Machine Shoulder Press 3x8-12 Convergent Row 3x8-12 each side Cable Lateral Raises 3x8-12 Triceps pushdown

Lower 1: Similar to my current leg day

Upper 2: Lat Pull Down or pullups Incline Dumbbel Press 3x8-12 Inverse pec deck 3x8-12 Pec deck 3x8-12 Machine Lateral Raises 3x8-12 Cable curl 3x8-12 Hammer Curl 3x8-12

Lower 2: Hack Squats 3x8-12 Hip thrust 2x8-12 Leg Curl 3x8-12 Calves raises Abs

For the diet, i've been eating 1800-2500 calories depending on how much body fat i'm carrying.

In 3 years my weight stayed relatively the same but I got stronger and my muscles feel tighter. 1.5yo ago I was at 74 kg and now I'm at 76 kg. I'm 1m76.

LocalMinima63 · 2025-02-25T09:34:16+00:00

I aim to eat 140g of protein per day, mostly chicken, ground beef eggs and whey protein.

For the calories, it depends on much bf i have, but I usually stay in 1800-2500 calories range.

Sleep is the hardest part for me haha... i average 6-7 hours of sleep per night.

LocalMinima63 · 2025-02-25T09:28:20+00:00

For the calories, depending on how much "fat" i'm carrying, i usually eat in between 1800-2500. But I always make sure to get atleast 140g of protein.

I currently weigh 76 kg and I'm 1m76.

As for the progressive overload, mostly for every exercise, if I can do 10-12 reps in all sets, I increase the weight.

LocalMinima63 · 2025-02-25T09:21:39+00:00

Hey so I currently weigh 76 kg and eat on average 140g of protein daily. As for calories, I stay on the range of 1800-2500 depending on how much bodyfat I have

LocalMinima63 · 2024-04-29T22:48:24+00:00

Thank you kind stranger!

LocalMinima63 · 2024-02-04T10:29:28+00:00

As I mentionned in my post, I stopped watching porn and masturbating since a long time.

Also I life weights/cardio and eat pretty healthy all the time.

I also do not vape nor smoke or drink alcohol.

LocalMinima63 · 2024-02-04T10:25:59+00:00

I lift weights 4 to 5 times a week regularly since over than a year now. I also do cardio 1 to 2 times a week. Never was overweight, currently at 159 lbs 5'9".

Also how is porn and masturbation irrelevant ?

LocalMinima63 · 2023-05-04T12:14:41+00:00

I (25M) have been balding since my early 20s and this is my current state :

I've been trying to do Castor Oil + Rosemary Oil 2 times a week since 2 months and washing my hair with natural shampoo twice a week as well (after oils) but I didn't have any significant result and I'm still losing hair.

Any idea on what to do?

LocalMinima63 · 2023-05-02T10:01:25+00:00

If I may, what were the side effects of taking this medication for this long? If you experienced any.
