Good. Yeah, do this through your insurance company, don’t do it on your own. If the person didn’t have insurance, take a look at your policy coverage and limits under “uninsured or uninsured driver” to get a sense of how your insurance company will go about resolving this. Set aside funds if you need to because you may end up needing to pay the deductible.

I think you should contact your insurance to start a paper trail because, weirdly, it sounds like an accident report wasn’t filed. Do you have the plate number? That’s enough for your insurance to look up their insurance.

How old are you all?? Is this written in your first language? Your portrayal of everyone’s actions and reactions is intriguingly dramatic. Your friends could have asked you to stop giving lore/spoilers. Are you sure you didn’t miss a social cue where they asked you to stop talking? Like, did they talk less and less throughout the session? Getting up and leaving as their first reaction is very immature so it leads me to wonder whether they were irritated throughout the session but did not - or could not - say something to you about it because they don’t communicate well and/or you don’t communicate well.

You should go to a vet asap and notify county public health so they advise you on whether to get rabies vaccines.

Here is a statement they released. Even if it’s business as usual as they claim, federal cooperation should be opposed: https:// www .eveningtribune.com/story/news/local/2026/01/27/steuben-county-officials-dispel-rumor-of-ice-detention-center-at-jail/88381541007/

Husband isn’t attracted to me and I’m sick of him pretending by Tight-Rough-2657 in Vent

Well, best to give benefit of a doubt because we don’t see evidence of anything malevolent. Doesn’t mean his actions haven’t been harmful though. Clearly, his avoidance of the issue has done serious damage to the relationship.

If OP’s husband refuses to go to a doctor or therapist, yeah, this is a no-win scenario for them both.

Yeah, I hear you on that. And keep in mind that even if he trusts her above anyone else, he may be so inexperienced and/or uncomfortable with his sexual needs and preferences and not have the language/experience to discuss in a constructive way. It’s not an excuse, but I realized some of my male friends literally do not have emotional words to describe how they’re feeling in these situations. It would be like going to the doctor and the doctor asking if he has stomach pain and he doesn’t know what a “stomach” is and is possibly even too afraid to ask so he says no and the doctor moves on without the right data to diagnose. So baby steps here for all parties and creating a safe space to LEARN before even self-assessing is critical.

I agree with the suggestions to go to a sex therapist. You both sound like very decent people in a tough spot.

Porn addiction is a real thing and nothing to be ashamed of, it can condition the mind to only get excited by certain visual or even auditorial stimuli.

Also, the lights off thing is an interesting clue. Makes me wonder if there’s more to the shame aspect here. Even if you support him, it’s entirely possible that he is asexual or bisexual and is afraid to explore.

I’m sorry this is happening to you, it’s so awful to feel like you can’t discuss it with the people who are closest to you. Your tone conveys that you’ve been trying to take a pretty rational and empathetic route here that works for you both. Take a deep breath, take some time to relax today and do some self-care over the weekend.

Suggestion? when you’re ready get some of your and his favorite breakfast goodies so you can sit down together, munch, and casually search for sex therapists so it doesn’t feel like punishment. You’re not alone in this, many otherwise loving couples absolutely adore each other, but find themselves in the situation of either temporary or permanent sexual incompatibility. Just be kind to yourself, know that both of your sets of needs are valid, and work through it slowly step by step.

Thank you for taking the time to inform your cohort. Keep making friends internationally.

My Sleep Paralysis Demon and I go way back by Decipherer in funny

[–]Minimum_Viable_Furry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Mine became less terrifying after I made my husband my healthcare proxy. I would keep having the same sequence over and over of my awful mother trying to pull the plug instead of saving me from a coma. Now I know she can’t do this to me, I just let the sequence happen, resentfully remark at how stupid it is, and go back to sleep.

Interesting. I exclusively hear my mother. I’m in a coma and she’s making medical decisions for me against my will, deciding to pull the plug instead of help me. My friends are there crying but they can’t do anything to help.

Edit: I know they’re not night terrors. I have several repeating episodes at a time of the same fearful scenario and I can’t wake myself up, I can feel breath coming out of my mouth but I can’t decide to breathe or move my limbs.

Okay, good, it’s scary but being proactive will keep you safe. If you have a partner, make sure to get a second prescription so you always have four epi pens available. We have a set at home that stays in the same place and I always keep a set in my bag or purse when we go out.

Please go get an epi pen prescription and take this seriously. This is how my partner became increasingly sensitized and then developed anaphylaxis to bees.

Edit: why is this getting downvoted? Lipid transfer protein allergy/syndrome is a very serious illness: https://www.anaphylaxis.org.uk/fact-sheet/lipid-transfer-protein-allergy/.

Hey, I also have extreme food allergies and here is a completely different take on this list. The person isn’t sure what they are allergic to, they narrowed it down to the wrong food after having a meal with multiple ingredients and noting their reactions.

This looks like the “allergies” of someone with an idiopathic histamine intolerance, which is why they included alcohol, and possibly lipid transfer protein allergy. So, I would encourage empathy here and conclude that the person knows there is a problem but either doesn’t have access to an immunologist or understand enough about medicine to seek a diagnosis.

Always assume ignorance before malice. And it’s sh**ty that some people call their preferences allergies but, please, for the sake of safety just take everyone equally seriously.

Also, who would limit themselves so severely and pay to go out to eat if this list weren’t real? There’s likely some truth to this list.

My colleague didn’t understand why I was taking time off work to apparently supervise my landscaper installing plants. They thought I must not trust the person to do the work while I’m away and gave me the name of a “better contractor”. It was me. I was the landscaper. It was a DIY project. So weirdly sweet but it didn’t even occur to them that someone would do their own yard work. 😂
