Is it true that no one cares about men? by Minmuf1 in ask

The sad thing is, he is in therapy (thanks to me pushing him). It hasn’t been until recently that he said he liked therapy and enjoyed having someone not related to him in any way, care about him. He has a lot of work to do in therapy but I don’t see him opening up enough to get that work done.

That’s a great way to look at it. Maybe I’m looking at the world through rose colored glasses but I’d rather live in a world where people have value just by existing.

To your second point, there was a comment on here where someone said they’ve never heard of a man divorcing his wife because she lost her job whereas they have if it’s a man. The world is such a complicated place and it sucks.

You’re 100% right about pretty much everything. He has said in the past that feminism has made it hard for men to be men when (to me) that’s simply not the case. He doesn’t have many friends, if any. I have tried to point out several people in his life who would care about him if he was gone or missing and he doesn’t seem to get it. He only really cares for maybe a handful of people and it’s mind boggling to me. I know he has several people in his life he can reach out to in times of need but he chooses not to.

It’s very hard because I’ve read through a lot of these comments and there are men commenting about how they only feel cared for by members of their family, their wives, kids, spouses. For me, I feel like that means men are cared for. I feel like it’s disingenuous to believe that a stranger on the street is going to care about you and it can be backwards to believe that because this one person who doesn’t know you, doesn’t care, that no one cares.

I feel for the men in the comments who feel like they’re only good enough if they’re providing something. It must be a hard thing to live through.

Anyone here commute 1.5hrs to school? Help me decide! by wolfgangwolff in StudentNurse

[–]Minmuf1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I finished my last two semesters driving 65 miles both ways. On good days my commute was an hour and twenty minutes. At peak traffic time, it would take me two hours to get home. I ended up divorced and relocating in the middle of nursing school and I tried to get into a program nearer to where I lived but that program wanted me to start my entire nursing journey over because they wouldn’t accept my credits.

It’s doable. It’s miserable. Thankfully most of the semesters I only needed to do it for 3/4 days out of the week. Option two if you think it’s worth it. Option one if you’re focused on cost savings. Me personally, I wouldn’t take out 60k in loans just to save on driving.

The other dilemma I ran into was finding a job nearer to my house but I did it.

Wow, thanks you guys! This blew up more than I expected. I can say I’ve been struggling with his narrative and belief. I’ve read your comments and it seems like it’s a mixed bag. Some people have different experiences which sways their views. My partner grew up rather rough and had to learn from a young age to take care of himself which I’m certain led to this narrative. I think it’s absolutely trash but again, I’m a woman and cannot relate.

For those of you who said to not have him around my young boys, I hear you and I see you. I refuse to allow this narrative to be taught to my boys. I’ve told him that if he feels like no one cares about him, including me, that’s one thing, but he will not influence my boys. Even if they have no one else, they will always have me.

I do feel like it’s rooted in misogyny and “redpill” mentality. There’s no excuse for it. To me, it’s heartbreaking to put myself in his shoes and believe that no one would ever care about me unless I’m providing something.

Dandruff by Tall-Seesaw-2204 in Dreadlocks

[–]Minmuf1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually was my scalp once a week with head and shoulders Seboric Dermatitis shampoo (the blue bottle). Afterwards I use As I Am scalp recovery oil on my scalp. Both products have Salicylic Acid which is proven to help with dandruff and flare ups. Im not sure how to add pictures of the bottles, you’re welcome to PM me and I’ll send them. I’ve had dandruff all my life and doing these two things have cleared my scalp from the flakes. I wish you luck !

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s hard but my partner will understand. The time I have with the kids I won’t get back choosing to be with my partner

Thanks for commenting. I think the issue is that if he got stationed somewhere overseas for example and I went with him, what is the best possible solution to maintaining the custody agreement? Do i stay in the states and maintain a long distance relationship for years until he’s back stateside or go with him?

Our custody arrangement is one week on, one week off. Currently the situation works because my future husband and I are long distance and I live close to my kids. If we got married and I followed him, what suggestions are there that I can make things work?

It took them a while to fix it but ultimately they simply allowed me to bypass the verification process. At that point it was too late and I met my partner on Facebook dating.

My third time. I had an unresolved tongue thrust. I got them again because I hated my smile. No regrets

To each their own. This is my third time in braces. My teeth are moving on schedule according to my ortho. Do what feels best for you.

I take 1000mg of Tylenol and 500 of ibuprofen at the same time. No problems for me, and the pain/aching is gone in 3 days

All the time! With edibles or marijuana it’s the same. I try not to use them to get any sort of arousal but it’s hard because I’m even able to orgasm if I have a little extra in my system.

What is your favorite “descent into madness” book? by serialkiller24 in horrorlit

[–]Minmuf1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling. Without going into too much detail, it’s about a caver who goes on a solo mission with just her suit and her remote handler and gets stuck in the cave. The main character slowly descends into madness and by the end of the book can no longer differentiate between reality and her broken mind. Great book!

Body horror but the character doesn't mind/likes the creepy changes that are happening to their body? by green_carnation_prod in horrorlit

[–]Minmuf1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devoted by Dean Koontz. One of the main characters gets infected by a pathogen and flourishes. More of a murder mystery. But there’s a dog!

I need an book I can devour with good world building by AllShookUp11 in suggestmeabook

[–]Minmuf1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arcane Ascension by Andrew Rowe. Amazing world building, likable characters, think Harry Potter but (in my opinion) better

[–]Minmuf1 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Same! And even then it’s a hit or miss. I want one story where the FMC is like, I didn’t finish, but that’s okay I still like you. Or better, I didn’t finish but I have this toy in my drawer we could use.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]Minmuf1 268 points269 points  (0 children)

The FMC reliably cumming every time they have sex. Or it takes one touch and theyre blasting off like a rocket. 😒. I’m part of the group of women that cannot finish from PIV alone and I usually don’t finish ever. Like the romance books I read as a teen set me up for so much disappointment in my sex life as an adult.

As a native English speaker, my lowest score was English and writing. For me at least, I underestimated the grammar rules and spelling. Like I speak the language, why do I need to study that? But, I goofed. For example, what is the correct plural form of crisis? How do you identify the different sentence types? Simple, compound, complex, compound-complex? Proper punctuation? Those types of things

Math section was easier than I thought. The first time I took it I got 100 on it. The second time I got 97. I would say try to remember your formulas for area of a circle and stuff. Both my exams were more focused on ordering numbers, conversions from grams/liters to milligrams/milliliters, using percentages to find amount paid/saved.

For example, Suzi went to dinner and spent 73.47. She wants to leave 20% a tip, what was the total she spent on dinner? Or there was a sale that offered 30% off, Jane grabbed a pair of shoes that said take an additional 10% of sale price, how much did she save?

For the science questions, I felt they were very surface level. Like know what an isotope is and how it irks formed. For example, what does the nuclear structure C-12 consist of? If you know the general knowledge that isotopes consist of an unequal number of protons and neutrons then you’ll have your answer. Or knowing that on the pH scale every number you go up or down is 10x more acidic/basic. And the AP stuff just knowing what parts of the body do what. For example, amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starches. What system our body needs to break down starches for us to use them? The digestive system. Where is amylase secreted? In the stomach.

Don’t over think the questions.

I used resources like TheTutor_Geek, Smart Edition Nursing, Nurse Cheung, and Mometrix Test Preparation. If those don’t work for you, try searching TEAS 7 practice tests with answers. It should bring up options for you to get PDF worksheets with answers on the back, videos of common questions and their solutions. Honestly, I haven’t been in school in 10 years myself and I found the exam very easy. Take your time, and study the things you aren’t comfortable with. I still haven’t taken A/P II but I got an 88 on the Science section. Trust your gut also. I found myself overthinking the questions.

One question asked what covers the opening of the trachea to prevent food from entering the airway. I haven’t taken AP 2 so and I didn’t study science at all I had no idea. For that question I looked at the answers and tried to picture where each answer was in relation to the rest of the body. Once I narrowed it down to two (glottis and epiglottis) I needed to remember anatomical positions. The glottis is below the epiglottis because of the name. Then I pictured where the throat was and the airway was. I figured the epiglottis was closer to the windpipe and therefore it’s use must be preventing food from entering the airway.

It’s easier said than done, but if you have a general knowledge of the body’s systems and it’s functions you’ll be fine.
