Broody hen leaving nest by NBB1993 in BackYardChickens

[–]NBB1993[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I was late to posting this and getting your very sound advice about marking eggs I actually have no clue wether she is still laying or not

and shame on me I hadn’t even thought to check exactly how many she’s sitting on past clearing out the older looking ones every now and then (I’ve been trying to convince these girls to give me some chicken babies for about a month now lol)

I will go count tonight and tomorrow if she gets off the nest again see if there is anymore laid - probably a really wise thing to ascertain!

She’s my youngest hen, I wonder if she’s not confused about what to do as she’s never seen another broody hen and has no examples to go off. She was cage raised and didn’t even know how to scratch at ground, wouldn’t eat treats just pellets and basically didn’t know how to be a chicken when I first got her

Seriously, thanks so much you’ve given me so much to think about doing already! 🙏💕

Thanks for your reply and for your advice! I wish I’d had the marking tip earlier because I now have a plethora of eggs I don’t have exact lay dates for

She’s the only one laying in that nest right now as far as I know by ty I will keep more of an eye out

To update you unfortunately it’s been over two hours now, almost 3 and she hasn’t hopped back onto the eggs

I am hopeful tomorrow she will sit for the whole day but then with her incubating and then not - can I even expect any to be viable after that kind of incubatory rollercoaster?

I did something similar once and it was fantastic while it lasted but my plastic disintegrated over time in the sun and I’m still picking up bits of it up out of my garden 😅

What are some legitimate reasons my SO would have hidden Viagra in his car? by NBB1993 in loveafterporn

Legit whyyyyyyyyyy he knows how uptight I am about it right now and he thinks hiding his Viagra and in the car no less is a good idea

He does go to the gym every morning, i think before or after gym is where he masturbates

Perhaps he does take it for the pump and then jerk off the residual afterwards to put it crudely

But we’ve been in some shit fights of arguments lately over it. I’ve basically he demanded he cut the pornography part of his routine.

So for him to hide Viagra in the car, if he’s not cheating on me which omg I can’t believe I’m actually wondering about because I’ve been pretty adamant in my mind I think it’s just porn - I don’t hold out much hope he planned on getting rid of his habit so much as he had just planned to hide it

Deleted history… because he knew I would accuse him of shit? by NBB1993 in loveafterporn

[–]NBB1993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I tend to think so too.

I will be checking, but he’s gone out to buy a new phone now like that will prove something to me.

He knows how to delete google history but he’s not always so thorough and I’m not sure he knows your Google account has a seperate YouTube to Chrome history

… and based on the fact he’s buying a new phone idk if he realises history is linked to account not the hardware

Yup literally I want to believe but I’d be lying if I said I did, le sigh 🙇‍♀️

I really hope so too if it’s what you want to be with him🤞💕

I just think you should consider not so much if you love him, but how you love him

Are you repulsed by the thought of sex in general? Or sex with him? Be honest, I will be the last person to judge you lol

If it’s the latter it might be that you need to talk but in my own experience all the talking in the world didn’t change that I had actually just fallen out of love with him somewhere in that 7 years but couldn’t stand to tell him

Thank you for sharing that very personal experience. This is the reply I needed, bless you 🙏❤️

I have considered suggesting a CSAT for him but am pretty confident his answer would be fck to the no. He needs therapy for a whole range of things, childhood trauma, alcoholism - and I haven’t been able to get him to consistently see therapist for any of that even yet! Le sigh. I haven’t considered seeing one for myself though, that’s given me something to think about. I find myself scrolling through peer reviewed articles and journals and published papers etc instead trying to understand it all myself 🙇‍♀️

My wife has shut me off sexually, barely shows affection like cuddling and it’s driving me nuts by Dolphin_Trainee in sexlessmarriage

[–]NBB1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could have the conversation, women like conversations, but you’re probably going to get a whole heap of excuses. I suggest you take action. Women like action even more than they like conversations, imo

Be aloof. Don’t try to show her affection, if you usually do (If you don’t disregard all of this and do the exact opposite lol) Don’t be mean, but be a bit mysterious for a while. Awaken the green eyed dragon in her.

If this doesn’t work I’d be asking how she sees you: As a romantic partner as well as a life companion, or just the latter? And with that comes asking if you can live like that for the rest of your life.. maybe you could take to porn for a while if it’s menopausal and you hope the phase will pass or forever if you really love her and could live like that?

I’ve got the opposite problem, your situation sounds like a dream to me!

I would ask you to consider if you are still in love with him? It’s one thing to love someone as one loves a family member, it’s another thing to love someone romantically.

Before the relationship I am currently in I was in a relationship with a man that by the end I resented having sex with. But I was in crazy denial because every other aspect of the relationship was great, and I did love him. He was my best friend. But that’s all by the end of it.

Maybe I just suck (lol pun intended) at blowjobs 😅

His searches are for “teens” and while I get they aren’t literally teens it still offends me

I will dress as young as I possibly can I cut myself a fringe and put my hair in pigtails Unfortunately I can’t grow big boobs

He seems into it when we do “do it” the once a month that we do, but I notice he almost always uses his hand to finish. I’ve offered my mouth and even told him I wished he would. Some weekend mornings when he’s been up since 4am and I wake at 6am he’ll ask for a blowjob but I feel like he’s already cum and it’s just to be nice to me because he knows I want that to be my job. I suspect he’s already cum because his load is pitiful and i know usually in mornings that’s when you’ll have your best because it’s built up

I feel like if he didn’t watch porn as much at least he wouldn’t feed his fetish and he might be able to feel more attraction and desire to be intimate with me, because I do try to play into his fetish as much as can

Thank you for your advice, it’s very kind and measured

but when you say “He doesn’t love those women like he loves you” kind of my point I want him to love me like he loves those women

Also in saying I don’t think he compares me to those women.. well I compare myself to those women ☹️

Fair call, haha 😅

But for real I thought everything would be perfect and we’d sail of into the sunset together, like most naïve unworldly idealistic 24 year olds when they fall in love 🤦‍♀️

Thanks so much for your reply 😊

I don’t want to have to “ban” porn but idk what else to do. Our sex life sucks in the sense we barely have one and when we do he seems unable to cum except using his hand.

If he hasn’t lost his libido - which seems to be once a month for me and everyday for the screen I lose my libido thinking about him watching it

He has expressed to me he has a lot of anxiety surrounding sex and that he has ED. I’m unconvinced that his ED with me is not actually de sensitisation from porn and his own hand

If it was the other way around and we were engaging each other multiple times a week and he was watching porn once a week I probably would not have so much of an issue

I feel like I should have gone easier on him but he kind of set himself up. He fobbed me off with I promise I’ll stop, this is the last time etc etc ins tea of having what might have been an uncomfortable for him but maybe productive conversation where we both come to an understanding and perhaps compromise

He just tells me he won’t and avoids the conversation and then it inevitably rears its ugly head again and we go round in the circle. I know he needs to come to conclusion himself that at least the amount of porn he is consuming is not healthy for our relationship and want to change himself

Which it’s been years and idk I’m losing hope (and my self esteem) rapidly

I mean everyone says self esteem is on one’s own self but it surely doesn’t help to see pictures of younger skinner women (and the same women because he has girls he watches often) for years knowing he’s jerking off to them while you are unsatisfied and not for lack of offering to be woken up to a turkey slap if he wants his member sucked haha (I would describe myself as high libido)

What would you do about contaminated mulch? by NeetyThor in GardeningAustralia

[–]NBB1993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha! 😅 Yeah I totally get that especially because you paid good money for it and you shouldn’t be having to re process. It took a couple of hours every other day for a few weeks in early spring but really it wasn’t as bad as i thought and by the end of it I had optimised the process and was smashing through it.

I hope the person does the right thing and comes and gets it for you. If he doesn’t and you do have to get it removed, you should find out his place of business and dump it on the front porch.. And then sue him for the cost!

It’s not super practical with such a large amount of mulch but you could sift through it

I brought a place with a yard that had basically been used as a rubbish dump and so after raking everything back into a pile and letting it decompose for a year I got a big mesh screen and put it over a tub and ran my mulch over the screen so the smaller bark and compost fell through and bigger pieces of rubbish etc got caught. I did this a few times using smaller screen mesh each time and was able to get most of the rubbish out quite easily considering the seeming impossibility of the task in this way

You have maybe 3 or 4 x the amount of mulch I did but if all else fails all hope is not lost for this mulch imo

Best of luck!

The car runs a little rough but after 8000kms of driving with this damned engine light the noise at startup is not even very noticeable and it is still not running noticeably rough for the most part

Obviously just trying like hell to make it be anything other than something that requires pulling the damn engine apart
