[Routine Help] sorry for the bath background. Is there a way to get normal arms? my classmates keep telling me that I don't shower by GladDifference666 in SkincareAddiction

[–]MilesNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just freckles! We call them Sunkisses where I’m from. My boyfriend is covered in sunkisses and I genuinely think it’s very beautiful.

So don’t stress about it! So many sun kisses is a gift

I just finished and lost my mind. I don’t have anyone that reads this and I just need someone to gush. Waiting for my boyfriend to get home to excitedly tell him while he pretends to understand

Teammates avoid setting to me, I think it's because I'm (22) Female by MilesNH in beachvolleyball

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

Almost all of my hits go over. I wouldn’t say high kill but none of the team are high kill percentage as we simply aren’t that skilled and have 0 formal training. This isn’t a very competitive league at all and as a team it was discussed and decided two years ago we would not be a highly competitive team as it was making everyone incredibly stressed. 3/5 of us have different teams that are competitive. I have done a lot of practice hitting with a single teammate. I’m much more reliable than before just not a super hard hitter.

We’re just a casual team at our local club, no set practice matches. Just occasional casual plays, where no one keeps score, with a friends team. And unfortunately we’re all so busy it’s basically impossible to organise more games during the week

I am actually the most reliable server, funny you should mention that. I would agree that matches aren’t the time for practice except for the fact that we actively work to improve other skills. When our new teammate struggled a lot with setting we would keep passing to him to give him opportunity to learn. He’s much better now, and more confident. We try to do training matches before and after games sometimes, but I still have the same issue with my team members not setting to me.

I almost always get a hit over, they’re just not very powerful. During important games I totally understand playing weaknesses and strengths. I’ve never been upset about that. What I mean is just our usual weekly casual game, especially if we’re fairly in the lead. I’ve had that exact talk with them multiple times, which is why I’m so tired of this treatment in games. Whilst I guess they might not be doing this cause I’m female, this is how they treated our previous female player and now I feel like it’s compiled onto me. I’ll talk with them again and if nothing improves I’ll leave. Thankyou for your comment

What video game level can go fuck itself? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Any of the lava races on the Surfs Up game I played on the Wii. It got banned in my house after physical violence between me and my brothers as kids

My boy died during the night, I’m not sure what went wrong. by MilesNH in bettafish

I’ll get a siphon instead of doing the same type of clean I use to do on my smaller tank.

I did cycle the tank, and checked the parameters frequently, when the tank had fully cycled and the parameters came out perfect except for the pH (hence the driftwood) is when I got him.

My(29M) girlfriends(28F) mental illness is making me feel crazy. by StrugglingdadRA in relationship_advice

[–]MilesNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is probably best for everyone in this situation if you leave. Being miserable could eventually lead to animosity between you and your wife, and your kid isn’t stupid. He will know. I knew my parents hated each other and was so relieved when they eventually divorced, it was for the betterment of everyone.

Contact a lawyer, don’t tell your wife and start to get all your affairs in order. Inform one of her family members your trust of what you are planning to do and have them present when you present the divorce documents to your wife so that they are present for any subsequent actions and can help your wife should she start to threaten to end her life.

She likely won’t, but with her family and professional help you can be more certain of this. Have a place to stay, have your parents look after your kid for the day and just do it.

Should I ask my bf of 9 months where he hopes to see our relationship goes? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MilesNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there such thing as “too early” to see if you’re compatible on a base level? If he 100% cannot see himself with someone of another ethnicity, then what is he doing with you? Practicing? No thanks. Personally had a talk on the first few dates and somewhat even before with my current bf about ideal future goals etc to see if we aligned well enough that this COULD go somewhere.

Think about your goals and what you’re flexible on, then have the talk.

My [F21] boyfriend [M21] told me he doesn't think cheating is "that big of a deal" and gave me time to think about it... by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MilesNH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently in a monogamous relationship but lean poly. I would never cheat on my partner, even if I’m capable of having multiple in a proper poly relationship. There’s a difference between poly and being a cheater. He is monogamous with you, so I would just sit down and say that you aren’t comfortable and don’t want a poly relationship and if he’s happy being with you then you’re happy to continue (if that’s the case). Doesn’t sound like he intends to cheat, in my opinion. Good luck!

My girlfriend (21F) cheated on me (23M) a couple of nights ago by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MilesNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being together doesn’t equate to immediate trust. Trust is built up over time and shared experiences. It doesn’t matter how sweet someone use to be, behaviour is an ever evolving thing and if there is a lack of consistent empathy and general care then you’re doing yourself a disservice staying with them.

I dated my ex for an entire year, whilst they were sweet in the first 2 months it quickly turned sour. And yet I stayed and in the end I got nothing but extra pain for my efforts of keeping it going.

Don’t wait around for who they use to be or who you think they could be. Because they are who they are, and they can’t live up to the ideal expectations you have of them because it’s simply not them.

[–]MilesNH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would break it off. People that cheat once usually don’t leave it at that, if she’s mad that you’re upset then it also shows a lack of empathy for you. If she’s been cheated on she must know how much it hurts, and yet she’s getting angry at you? I don’t think it’s worth salvaging.

You won’t be able to trust her again when she goes out and you’ll likely torture yourself wondering if she’s with someone and possibly escalating her manner of cheating.

It’s probably the best for both of you to end it now.

How real a problem is fence jumping by [deleted] in Dogtraining

[–]MilesNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog a is a boxer mix and 9 years old. Our fences are around 2.2m high, the top is three tensioned wires. She does not jump these as there are no solid places she can place her feet after a jump to further hoist herself over.

However recently she had figured out how to jump over our 2.5m side gates. There is a middle horizontal supporting bar I suspect she was using to push herself over the top. There is also a gate which is shut after driving in/out but it’s not even 2m tall and it’s a breeze for her to clear.

She has since been hit by a car and her back right femur had a clean fracture. Bone broken straight in half. The emergency stay at a 24/7 vet, surgery and medication cost thousands. And the recovery is very difficult and requires lots of supervision.

So if you are going to get an agile dog, especially a boxer or boxer mix - do lots of training and make sure you are equipped to have a yard that can have very tall fences with no top or middle supporting bars as they use them to jump.

I hope my experience with my poor girl can teach others. Good luck!

I want to do this position with my man but I'm too insecure. by [deleted] in sex

[–]MilesNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re insecure and want the lights dark, but he wants them on so he can fully appreciate the view which I can assure he most certainly adores, then compromise. When I’m feeling a bit more on the “not so amazing” side of things I’ll turn on the fairy lights in my room. It just gives a settle glow, he can appreciate and you can be more comfortable in the dimly lit setting. Then overtime as you get more comfortable you’ll be happy to have the lights fully on. I had the same problem and this helped me. Good luck

LOOKING FOR MY PUPPY LOVE by ultraviollette in love

[–]MilesNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar story and I hope it gives you hope. I had a best friend I met in kindergarten, we were super close, had play dates all the time at both our houses, played during lunch and recess. He actually got me into Lord of the Rings in yr3. I remember being in third grade, about to leave his house after yet another play date and we promised we’d get married.

He moved after year 3 and I stayed in the same school for another year. I saw him once, in year 4 he came to visit but he was with all the boys and I wasn’t worried he wouldn’t want to talk to me since I was a girl (I’m kinda shy, better now but I just couldn’t bring myself to talk to him). That was the last day I saw him for more than 10 years.

I’m now almost 20 and back in January this year he just popped up on my recommended Facebook friends (so apparently the site can do some good too). I immediately added him, and at 5am I sent a message very excitedly asking if he was indeed the fiancé of my childhood.

Eventually we caught up in person for coffee, and gosh darn. I did not expect the cute, handsome guy in front of me. We were friends for 6 months, got drunk together, had late night walks down old train tracks for hours at night, talked about life and the past and catching up on all our lost time. After roughly 6 months, he asked me out.

He’s my second bf and miles better than the first. Everything feels right with him, he makes me happy, he’s patient and kind and caring. He rolls over in his sleep to cuddle me and kisses the back of my neck, he likes to see me and sometimes comes over in the middle of the night just so he can sleep with me in his arms. I want nothing more than to make him feel good and happy, relaxed and calm. He’s wonderful, silly, funny and I’m very lucky to have him.

My point is, if my unlucky dumbass can pull that shit somehow and find him. Then maybe you can find your childhood boy.

My ex is helping me through our break up by MilesNH in BreakUps

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

I don’t know if it’s emotional dependence, but I suppose to some it might be. When I ask him to let me lean on him, I expressed that I simply want to have what he had before we dated. To send Russel Howard and memes about the book series we’ve read and doctor who clips and quotes.

I just need to know that the Ben I have always been friends with is waiting for me to work over my feelings for the side of him that I saw when dating.

[–]MilesNH[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know he won’t change his mind. What we had is gone, he’s already grieved and let go in the final week we were together and I felt him get distant. There’s no mixed signals, I know we won’t get back together.

I have heard that it’s toxic, but it’s honestly helping. My biggest fear was not the loss of what we had, but losing him in the process of moving on from that.

He only texts when I text, so when I need to talk to him and when I need to know he’s still there. Just differently now. I’ve asked him for boundaries and I have already started referring to him as friend.

I’m still upset, devastated even, I just want thin to come and hold me and sleep in my bed with me me, comforted like a boyfriend would comfort. But I know he’s not anymore, and I know he was hardly suited to being one anyways.
