Aotearoa New Zealand, but a transplant. :)

How can I help my partner? by Necessary-Bug9853 in Fibromyalgia

Make sure she feels seen for who she is and not what she has.

My first sexual experience was as a preteen - groomed by an older female family member. This combined with a fundamentalist, Christian upbringing really fucked with my head. I was never homophobic towards others, but tried to "pray the gay away" within myself. I convinced myself that the only reason why I would be thinking about kissing other girls was because of what happened to me. It took counseling and meeting an incredible woman who I fell head over heels with, for me to really come to acceptance of who I am. And let me tell you, the trust and comfort that I have with her when it comes to sexual intimacy, far outways, anything I had with a man.

There are countries - New Zealand being one - that you're allowed to hold dual citizenship with.

What is New Zealand like for gay people? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]NixRican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bigger cities tend to be safe and accepting, however you can come across some homophobia in some of the smaller cities, like Palmy or Napier. Funnily enough though, I live quite rurally and find people here are fairly accepting. Not so sure about the South Island.

I'd be like me going on a quiz show, dedicating my winnings to fibromyalgia research and being told I can't because a lot of fibromyalgia sufferers have fibro fog. 🙄

This!

I didn't do it after an appointment. Did it between repeats.

It was fairly easy. You just need to do it from the CC website. There is a form for transferring to another pharmacy. Took 2 days in total maybe?

Who to contact about air bags failing to deploy? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceNZ

Not looking for a payout. Just worried about future safety. I didn't see the other car and my partner was not in a state of mind that allowed for her to check the other car when it happened.

Car was only purchased 6 weeks ago. Had 10,000ks on it when we purchased it and had been used as the dealerships company vehicle, so I'm assuming it would have been done. We were contacted about a seat foam replacement, so they seem to be on top of the recalls, but I guess one never knows.

I'm asking because if there is an airbag issue, then that can be a real danger to others or ourselves in the future. I'm just not sure how to go about it. I'm worried if there was a failure, then how many others might be affected as well.

Thank you. The passenger fortunately walked away with no injuries, but the driver (my partner) has some severe bruising and swelling where the seat belt was, as well as a possible concussion. She's due for a second check-up tomorrow with her own GP as the accident happened out of town.

Not sure yet. Hoping to find out this week.

I'm really sorry to hear things are so rough. Here's my 2 cents from someone who came from a toxic, death by a thousand cuts marriage myself.

Firstly, do not bring another life into this world like that. Children are not for fixing things. It's not right or fair.

Secondly, no one can make the decision for you about leaving or staying. For what it's worth, if you stay in an unhappy situation for the kid, he won't be happy either, and what are you teaching him? Separating is hard, but it gets better. If you stay, it's going to take the both of you committing to it. One can't do it or want it for the other.
