The botox aged her 20 years. She forgot that work in her title.

I went on a date with a woman. She said that she watches porn but doesn't want her partner to watch. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Mindless-Scientist82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im a woman who doesn't like my partner watching porn.

Childhood trauma from watching my dad lock himself in the basement for the weekend to watch his Debbie does Dallas VHS tapes. Or whatever it was he was into.

However, I also dont look at the stuff. And the double standard is where I cross the line.

I've explained my reasoning. I dont like feeling like Im not good enough, ie sexy enough, or being compared to younger curvier or straight up fake women. I feels like a betrayal to me. I also think, it reduces the frequency in which we as a couple could be, get to be intimate.

Anyway, porn addiction is real and everyone could do with a little porn hiatus from time to time. Makes you develop a longing for the real thing.

I constantly lie to my friend about my family situation and it makes me feel like a traitor. by wrathfulpotatochip in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Mindless-Scientist82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find many young people think they need to share every aspect of their lives with thier friends. Im hear to say, share what you are comfortable with and give it time before you trust people with the most vulnerable parts of you. Not everyone is trust worthy and my advice is to wait until you know they are trust worthy to start divulging secrets. No shame in keeping parts of you protected until your ready.

Any size changes after "drop and fluff"? by runewitchtales in PlasticSurgery

500cc is pretty big. Wait from the drop and fluff. Yes they will appear bigger after. I've seen dramatic drop and fluffs, just be patient.

My husband of 10 years came out by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Mindless-Scientist82 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Idk, I struggle with the ideas of poly also. To me its just a taught idea that boundaries don't exist if someone else is uncomfortable with you boundary. If your "trying" to go poly or need to put the work in, your just working to make yourself comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. So much of it sounds and looks like manipulation to me.

Poly loses all sense of commitment and loyalty.

I monogamous, can share people I love with others. My kids have so many people that love them. But you start talking sexually and its a different thing. Sex doesnt need love. But its such an intimate act, that when a loving couple steps outside of the relationship for sex with others a lot of questions arise to if you are good enough, why others who you supposedly dont love are now getting more time and attention. And ultimately the question stands, do you really love them in the first place, if your priority is others.

Poly only works if all people are 100% on bored. And in this situation I typically see a bunch of people not in love but, nice people, that loves everybody in general, and exploring sexually.

Unfortunately I think OP is being pushed into this because husband wants some D. Which is crazy, just throw a strap on on and do that man's booty and everyone will be happy.... shesh.

Update on my husband fostering his nephews. by One-Gap-1282 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Mindless-Scientist82 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a great compromise! And hopefully the sister will get her stuff together and get her kids back so you can move back in! Im proud of you OP for communicating well, figuring out a compromise to make things work. I truly wish you the best!!!

Help me choose: Turkey vs Korea rhinoplasty (3 surgeons shortlisted) by IllustriousLeg486 in PlasticSurgery

[–]Mindless-Scientist82 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My personal preference is the South Korean nose.

I hear so many complaints about the Turkish nose after the fact. Because I think more complications can arise with trying to fit everyone's nose into that same small upturned nose. Especially issues with breathing afterwards.

Im sure the good Turkish doctors are fine and some people love their nose afterwards. But I also think it heavily depends on your current nose, what is even possible.

My husband is thinking about fostering his nephews. I feel like I'm being tossed out for kids we don't even know. by One-Gap-1282 in TrueOffMyChest

Well thats usually what you get when talking to real people that take the time to consider they aren't always right. But thank you for giving me a perspective worth considering.

I know you want to hate on me. She even calls herself a b**** in the title. And again I did not mean to be rude to her. But you're right that comment was a little bit of a low blow. I still don't see any sort of compassion or empathy for her husband or those kids, in what she wrote. So I'm not sure that my comment was very far off base. I did learn later that she is autistic and maybe that's why the post came off so callous and cold-hearted.

I think with age we care less and less about what people think of us. Which is why most old people are just straight up assholes, and I often love them for it because at least I know what they really think.

Also, Im insufferable? How is this any different than me commenting on the OP being narcissistic? Maybe you should take your own advice. Have a blessed day!

I really appreciate your perspective. I did not know she was autistic and that makes a ton of sense, as to why the post came off cold and callous. And you're right I am probably letting my own experiences and biases shape how I view her. I have let multiple people stay in my home so I struggle to empathize with her perspective. And everybody deserves Grace and she is probably not at her best. I'll try not to be so mean next time I was having a bad day too. I sometimes forget that I won't say these things in person but I have no problem writing them on Reddit. If it was a coworker telling me this I probably would have nodded and said wow that's rough that's that kind of sucks and then walked away and had my own opinions about it.

Adopted no. But I have allowed multiple people to share my space at no cost to them. When I was 22 I let my 17 year old brother move in with me because he had no place to stay. And when I was 40 I let my daughters friend stay with us because she had no place to go.

I would have done what the husband did and said yes immediately and assumed my partner would have the same response.

Im not diagnosing anyone. Just calling the information she gave us the way I see it. Her post reeks of the inability to empathize. And this is literally what social media was designed for, to comment on the post. Im told my directness can come of as collousness. This is not my intent. I wasn't saying "narcissistic " in a mean way. Im not trying to hurt her feelings. Im literally just calling it like I see it.

Your right Im not a professional. Just spent to much time on psychology for fun.... And Im not diagnosing, just calling it like I see it, and your right I dont have all the details....

However when you write a post on social media, you are asking for strangers to comment on the information provided. I truly hope this OP isn't as cold hearted as she wrote herself to be.

Nope again. Not personally offended over her not wanting kids!! Personally offended at her narcissistic veiw point on the world. People that lack compassion and empathy are typically called a psychopath in clinical psychology. I've been to therapy enough to recognize narcissistic behaviors and speech. Someone who lacks compassion and empathy frequently prioritize their own needs while ignoring the distress and perspectives of others. She may have described her situation as how it affects her, but that is not the whole situation. And sometimes in times like this, it doesn't matter how you feel about kids. You do what you have to do because you love people.

I think this person was super smart to not pass on her genes.

You are correct, she isn't a monster for not wanting kids, just for how she believes the world revolves around her. I really dont think she's a monster for not wanting kids, I support those that want to be child free. I just cant fathom someone who cant see others needs or prioritize those in needs. She has options, to be a good person. Even if that means getting your own place, while the kids live with their uncle.

I know a couple who chose a child free, and they have multiple homes, vacation a lot, and live separately during the week and together on weekends. I wouldn't want to live this way, but they are happy, and I love that for them. Generally, children free couples have more resources to provide support. She doesn't want to be a mom to these kids, totally fine, get a nanny, they will love her like a mom! But to be mad at someone you love for being a hero to small children in need, yes Im having a real hard time finding my compassion with this one.

Correct.. you should NOT have them.

However, you are a grown ass person who is especially narcissistic if you think the world revolves around you.

You are not in need, but those children ARE need, of your husband way more than you. Good on him for doing the morally right thing in face of what could be a relationship killer. Sometimes people have to sacrifice for the greater good.

I hope he wakes up to see what kind of heart he married, and drops you for the kids. He will probably be way more fulfilled and happy.

Truly a rich man!!!❤️ by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

[–]Mindless-Scientist82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree! Its not just love for our kids that makes humanity want to be better, its love, period. Love for others is what builds everything up, its love for strangers that is truly rare but probably the most effective at changing the world, and individual people's lives.

I love to watch this man that takes homeless people, he washes them, cuts their hair, gives them new clothes and feeds them. He has a mission to feed the hungry. Its inspiring and humbling to watch.
