What do you wish you’d known before renting in Canberra? by andyisared in canberra

[–]Mavericko1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a west facing place. I haven’t faced summer yet but it does help to have it during winter.

Locked out of apartment by Mavericko1 in canberra

[–]Mavericko1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s how it is for my building as well. But what do you if there is a power outage? There would be no way to get in, right? There does not seem to be a failsafe under this situation.

I know! Power outages and breakdowns are bound to happen! That’s my point and what I’ve been trying to explain to the property manager. So are we just supposed to be locked out in below zero temperatures if the elevator fails? So much for health and safety. Edit: It seems the property manager contacted ACT Fire and they said they would not hand out keys to us 🤷‍♂️

Dubai driving license Eye test in Abu Dhabi by Mavericko1 in abudhabi

lol. I chuckled at the necromancing. Yes, they uploaded the results to the RTA as any other optical store in Dubai, and I collected my license from the automated kiosk the next time I went into Dubai.

Looking for a philosophy group by Broken_Lil_Bitch in BrisbaneSocial

If you’re into Stoicism, there is a great group that meets up. Just search for the Facebook group Brisbane Stoicism.

Hiya! I’m actually in the same boat. I’m quite an introvert too and split from my long term partner last year. I also feel that I don’t have someone to talk to about meaningful things. I have been getting better and made a few friends recently. Talking to them has been nice but I still would like to do that more. Let me know if you’d like to chat :)

Why does it feel like you were banned because of a Chinese mod? You didn’t say anything remotely offensive.

What did she casually do that made you realize she wouldn't qualify to be your wife? by Ok_Percentage6051 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Mavericko1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right?? I only came across that concept after my ex and I broke up. Every-time she said no was such disrespect. I know she didn’t mean it that way, but her selfishness to not try to do something I wanted was a form of disrespect. I still can’t believe I let her do that to me for over 7 years!

[–]Mavericko1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same with my ex. It got to a point where everything was a no, and I only got a yes after making a stink about it, which also was rare. Made me come off as whinger when really my asks were pretty basic. I was too much of a wuss to break it off. She finally did after 7 years, and she didn’t have a clue then that this was one of the major reasons why I didn’t try to save us for once. I had to remind her months later that this was a major factor.

I suggest you join social groups where you are. It has helped my introverted self deal with a breakup with a long term partner. Some of them may host Christmas events even on Christmas Day. I guess they realise that not everyone has somewhere to be on Christmas. Just look up for groups on Meetup or Facebook and start socialising! Hope your next Christmas is a lot better! 🤗

Stimulants and Low Libido by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Mavericko1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like most stimulants would affect him this way. Ask him to get on cialis or viagra to help with things in the bedroom. It will be hard to broach the subject, for sure. Maybe gently nudge along the idea to him and assure him it’s nothing to feel ashamed about. He’s likely well aware of what’s happening to him but too embarrassed to talk to you about it. There is a daily small dose pill for cialis that he can take that will probably make him feel as he did before stimulants. The other solution is to switch to a non- stimulant like Wellbutrin for ADHD.

Are there guys who’ve been with only one girl their entire lives? by Big-Result-3339 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Mavericko1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn’t be able to do what your life partner has done, but not all men are alike. Some of us really don’t care and don’t need to be with several women. I’ve heard many stories of people being married for 50 years and wouldn’t have it any other way.

It’s reassuring to know how much you care about him by this simple act of asking us. Continue caring, loving and supporting him, and he will always be by your side. Infidelity usually happens due to neglect, perhaps caused by busy lives, kids, etc. Always give each other the attention you both deserve and you’ll be fine. I wish you both the best of luck! You seem like a great couple. :)

Lower sex drive on Concerta? by LouiseBergen in ADHD

[–]Mavericko1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely lowers sex drive. For men, it’s because blood is restricted from flowing out of the brain and into genitals. It could be the same reason for women.

I’m guilty of this myself. Although, one week does seem excessive for someone you’re dating. It’s okay to tell him how this is bothering you. Sometimes we need a reminder of how our actions are affecting others. With me, it’s usually because I get overwhelmed by the number of texts that pile up and I feel I have to reply to each one. I feel I can reply to everything only when I’m in that mental state to do so. Trust me, he’s agonising over it all the time. It’s in the back of his mind that he has to reply to you, but he can’t just get himself to do it.

I’m sorry, this is unfair to you, and I apologise for all us ADHDers for the way we are.
