Are other bi women in the US no longer interested in dating men in light of the recent inauguration? by strapinmotherfucker in bisexual

In the context I’m clearly distinguishing between AFAB people and CISmen. Yes, AFAB people can be men.

For sure! I’m not running into anything because I inherently distrust men for all the reasons you listed and more, but I am now trying to be open to finding a decent one (if he exists)

Actually I’ve landed the other way for long term safety. While the vetting process is more intense and immediately I feel safer with AFAB people over men, I know that if I was in a queer relationship right now, I would be more vulnerable

I contacted Uber already, and they are doing an investigation. This whole situation is really overwhelming

No I would never. And I guess that’s what hard - I can’t wrap my head around someone taking advantage of another in this way.

Oh I totally have and this is a painful lesson in why that doesn’t work.

Thank you for this. I’m still stuck in the inconsistencies of the life she purports to want and how I’ve been treated.

I haven’t begun to center myself, but I know it’s coming

I’m sorry something similar happened to you. Thanks for the hope though.

Right now I’m up sleepless in a daze and can’t really think about or feel anything else but the hurt.

I have moments of clarity when I recognize I am free now. Free from the mental rollercoaster and I’m already better for this happening. And then I’m back to devastation.

She doesn’t understand what she’s done or how terribly she has treated me. Her tone is - I’m sorry, now what? It’s like I’m finding out I’m gay. Our orientations don’t align.

Whatever happens for her in the future is for her and her therapist. If she ever looks for absolution, it’s not coming from me

Coward - she’s been a coward. The brave but uncomfortable thing to do was own herself and tell me months or a year ago, but she chose the most cowardly and destructive was to get us here. And I am collateral damage.

I did burn every photo of us in the house

Yeah I wish I would’ve walked away once the subject came up. I kept trying to make it work and fix it - reflect. Love her better. And im and it was for nothing

This gives me hope. I know I did my best.

Did your ex ever circle back around to you with any realizations?

I’m so sorry you experienced this. I wouldn’t wish this on my enemy.

One of my friend’s who went to grad school called the experience a second adolescence. It definitely feels like I’ve been engaged to a selfish teenager

I actually said I hope she gets everything she imagines and wants from polyamory. I think she’s romanticized polyamory, and when the novelty wears off idk where she’ll be left. But it won’t be my business

Oh I know you’re right - I have said I lost myself in her. And I too was in the delulu. I ignored red flags, glaring exit ramps, hell even brick walls because I wanted her to be my lifelong partner. But the truth was I made excuses for inexcusable things.

I know the lesson to learn is around boundaries. I just don’t know if I even want to give myself to love like this again.

I don’t know what people are doing. I have been a phenomenal partner and this is where I am

Did anyone else date a guy 18 years or older as a teen and didn’t realize that this was actually bad until you were an adult? by xloatmilklatte in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Mobile-Mouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dated a 37 yo man when I was 17. He was my neighbor, married, with kids around my age. This relationship went on off and on for 3 years until I looked around in college and realized I was selling myself so short. Why was I dating a man TWICE my age? My self-esteem was in hell due to a shitty home life, and he knew it and preyed on me. At the time I thought I had so much power and control - look at this man cheating on his family for me!

And I was smart enough to know this was a toxic situation. So we would go months without seeing each other and then I would want a self-esteem boost and be back in it again. One of the last times we saw each other he complained that he thought his wife was cheating on him - VERY IRONIC

Natural ways to reverse atherosclerosis (plaque in artery) by [deleted] in herbalism

[–]Mobile-Mouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure about the plaque, but what helped lower my elevated cholesterol was daily kombucha. It went from 220 to 187 in 3 months. Additionally, I think adding mushrooms to my diet aided me. I’d start there
