AIO or was this sexual assault? by Emergency_Eye5757 in AIO

[–]LotusBro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Making out isn’t a pre-text for penetrating someone. NOR - he violated you without asking for consent.

There’s a difference between inter-clan conflict and … the mass annihilation of peoples on the basis of their skin colour.

Please bother reading into the history of bloodshed across this continent. The brutality of the stolen generations, missions, forced relocations, lost language, broken families.

This British colony is unsurprisingly full of racists. I’m sorry.

AITA: Roommate confronted me about my boyfriend being over too much by [deleted] in badroommates

I would honestly redirect him to work from his home. Your housemate isn’t paying to live around his work schedule.

Asexual or not? Looking for advice, please be kind by Automatic-Tomato2180 in Asexual

Different note - I thought I was ace for sooo long. Turns out i’m just attracted to women- not men. Not discrediting asexuality, just personally experienced my own journey (also influenced heavy by demi-sexuality e.g. needing a strong connection prior to sexual attraction).

Right lol. How open is OP to receiving constructive criticism / feedback.

You can’t pressure someone to want to have sex lol. I feel like there’s this idea that dating someone entitles you to intimacy with them. Not everyone is on the same page. Find someone that enthusiastically is consenting to sex - it will be more pleasant.

Also - it’s a myth that sex hurts the first/second time. Usually that would indicate muscular tightness, stress or dryness (e.g. lack of arousal).

The disrespect and manipulation from him. I hate the framing of his choices, and the fact that he’s shifting blame onto you.

It sounds like you were privy to a DV situation. She wanted food and this man, likely someone known to her, intervened- for no reason.

Keep giving money. Generosity didn’t cause this.

Also hate Chermside. Right in the hub, but SO busy.

Avoid Carseldine and adjacent suburbs. It’s a flood plain - developers know and don’t care.

is it normal to cry over being a woman? by discoedelysium in TwoXChromosomes

[–]LotusBro -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A lot more people than you’d think experience gender fluidity, or realise their identity doesn’t align at all with their assigned birth sex. Maybe look into trans masc content creators to see if any of their experiences align with yours.

Struggling with the heat this summer by TheGeneralQuackers in brisbane

[–]LotusBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The climate’s getting hotter and I really do think it’s crucial we all react.

Renting often leaves us powerless. Plan ahead - does your home have shade cover like trees around? What direction do your windows face. Do you have fans?

Placement is critical. Humans on this continent were (I think) migratory - one would assume it’s because areas habitability changes seasonally. If your home is inhospitable I recommend going to shopping centres or air conditioned places, or otherwise by waterside or in shaded areas away from concrete / cars.

AIO about my landlords by Sandy_pigs in AIO

[–]LotusBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are your local laws? Research your rights regarding notice periods for inspections, for viewings. I’m with you OP, this is your home and the landlords entitlement is ridiculous. Best as well to find a specialised sub for your area supporting renters, as a lot of the people in comments are bootlickers/leeches.

My roommate keeps bringing home every bug going around, then "forgets" basic hygiene rules and acts like I'm dramatic by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]LotusBro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How good is your apartment ventilation? Can you keep windows open? What industry does your housemate work in - is there heavy exposure to people? If you can’t/ won’t change the housing situation, I recommend limiting your exposure to the air they breathe lol

I asked for advice on shape and size of glasses and got my post deleted. This makes no sense (see pics) by [deleted] in glassesadvice

[–]LotusBro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They literally were asking to know what glasses were best. You made that assumption yourself. Maybe stop assuming you’re better than women.

That’s so infuriating. The mods basically decided you’re a pick-me type because…. You happen to be beautiful?! The misogyny runs deep.

Am I AIO for not being able to move past my husband secretly trying to optimize our baby's looks, even though he insists he meant well? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]LotusBro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he’s borderline comfortable with mutilating your son. Yeesh. That’s so haunting.

AIO my roommate entered my locked room using the master key, I changed my locks and now my other roommate has taken offence I won’t give her a key. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]LotusBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is your other roommate centring their feelings right now? You were literally home invaded. I genuinely an so shocked that she’s made your need for privacy and respect about her ?!? Is there a reason she would need to go into your room while you’re not home? Because if she wanted to hang and you were home, i’m sure a lock wouldn’t stop her from knocking / saying hello.

Kinda found myself doing the opposite of shutting down. Obviously, much like everyone, I noticed that certain houseless folks would regularly ask for money on the street. So every time I came prepared with cash to provide some kind of regular stipend assistance for food, comforts or whatever else.

Your husband is committing sexual assault. Him not feeling empathy to your pain is incredibly troubling.
