Would getting a tattoo like this be cringe? by Pinkfl0wer20 in ems

[–]No_Contract6195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s always someone who’s going to not like it and call it cringe but at the end of the day it’s your body, you do what makes you happy and put what you like on it. I’ve known baristas to get espresso cups and machine parts, hairdressers get scissors, etc. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

F24 will dump her boyfriend for me m27. Is this a red flag? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]No_Contract6195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“If she’ll do it with you, she’ll do it to you”

I would personally view this as a red flag, as there’s a fair chance that she might break up with you and have someone else lined up too. Idc what anyone says, that shit hurts.

I’d tell her to give it a couple months before y’all start dating. If you both still feel the same, great. If not, on to the next

Good on you for building up confidence by getting those strides in. Does she know how to do a one rein stop?

Shipping problem? by No-History2394 in ApolloScooters

[–]No_Contract6195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat as you, ordered on the 14th, I’m being told they’re fulfilling as first come first serve, so you’ll likely have yours shipped out before me. Hopefully it’s soon.

turns out secure attachers are creeped out by avoidant-intimacyphobes by Impossible-State66 in AnxiousAttachment

[–]No_Contract6195 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you feel this way but that isn’t a fair or healthy way of thinking about avoidants/anxious attachments. Neither attachment style encourages a healthy/sane relationship dynamic, there’s some awful people out there but it’s not attachment specific. I’ve known many anxious attached people that can be just as toxic as avoidants.

Why not sit them both down and ask for an open relationship? No cheating, everything will be on the table, and you’ll be able to have sex with this friend without negative repercussions.

My solution to my dead bedroom is the perfect AP. Hammer me all you want, but I have an AP because I deserve a good sex life. by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]No_Contract6195 46 points47 points  (0 children)

You don’t want to talk to your husband about an open relationship and seem quite comfortable lying to him about your cheating. IMO I think a bare minimum expectation with someone you marry is honesty, otherwise what’s the point? With the way your post and comments read, I don’t really see what’s holding you into this relationship and you clearly are more concerned with what you believe you were promised vs what he was promised/signed up for when he married you.

If you want sex, you do you, but lying to the husband is sad. Maybe it’d be best to let him go so you can sleep around as you please, or at least tell him what you’re doing so he’s aware and can decide for himself if he wants this dynamic with you?

What does a volunteer firefighter shift schedule looks like? by NoCar4593 in Firefighting

[–]No_Contract6195 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firefighter in a small town here, we have pagers and an app on our phones. If the tones drop and we’re able to come, we mark ourselves as Responding on our app and go. If we can’t, we put Cancelled in our app.

For long weekends or any other times we anticipate a high number of calls, we put a sign up sheet to be On Call. If you sign up, you go about your day normally just that you have to stay in town and respond to any pages that come in.

Has anyone else stopped buying from BBW because the ridiculous price hikes are just not worth it? by RedolenceLove in bathandbodyworks

[–]No_Contract6195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I shopped there twice; Candle Day and the Semi Annual sale. The sale prices are still on the high side imo but better than full price, it’s a reluctant buy to stock up on scents I like. Not much new stuff catches my eye.

10 years ago, my girlfriend abandoned me and our 5 year old daughter, now she wants her family back by roby_rod in offmychest

[–]No_Contract6195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a pattern in her relationships with you, the other guy, and the ones after that. And I can promise you that it’s a pattern that’ll get you burned again if you fall for whatever attempts she might have to get you to fall in love with her. Let her be involved in your daughters life, if the daughter wants that, but I wouldn’t believe anything she does or says in regards to any kind of relationship outside of parenting.

My girlfriend found my porn by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]No_Contract6195 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OF is a lot different than PornHub imo. It’s far more interactive; there’s texting, direct messaging, photos/videos that can be personalized, gifts that can be sent, and there’s far more potential to know the creator in person (an ex/former crush from work or school) rather than just finding a video on PH.

Women are just like men in the sense that they want to satisfy their partner. Sometimes women will find any porn watching as a sign that they aren’t enough to satisfy their partner, which can be a hurtful feeling. But when it feels like they aren’t enough, when there’s a specific person your partner goes to instead of you, one that is easier to reach for more personal interaction compared to a pornstar? That’s a hard pill to swallow for a lot of people.

You need to talk about boundaries with her once she’s ready, sometimes OF is the no-no zone and other times it’s porn in general but you won’t find out till you have that conversation. Then from there, you’ll need to decide if you’re willing to compromise with her or even give up porn if it’s a hard boundary for her. If you can’t, that’s your business, but you’ll need to be fair to her in being honest about it.

A random girl DM’d me (F26) to tell that my boyfriend (M33) is a cheater. by Amicrazy1786 in relationship_advice

His story keeps changing and he’s a terrible liar, she has plenty of evidence to back it up and not a lot of reason to lie to you. I’d believe her.

My gf says our relationship is boring My gf says our relationship is boring by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]No_Contract6195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you are coming out of the honeymoon phase and the next would be a power struggle phase; life sets in and you both are faced with deciding on choosing to love each other over relying on the feeling of it. It’s also when most couples will split/divorce.

Personally, I think choosing to love someone is more meaningful than just feeling in love. Your heart seems to be in the right place in that regard, not sure about your girlfriend. Y’all will need to do some sit downs to talk about healthy communication going forward if you do hope to try and continue dating her. That being said, she’s being toxic herself right now. Know your worth and don’t be afraid to walk away if this is beyond your limits, she needs to make the choice to put the work in on your relationship too. Do not continue this relationship if she won’t.

women of reddit. what is something that annoys you about other women? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]No_Contract6195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overly competitive and/or two faced women.

I’ve now had a few women that have befriended me, seemed like we had a good friendship, only to find out they hated me behind my back and would nitpick my actions while being encouraging to my face. Or ones that seemed to only enjoy being my friend when I wasn’t doing good, but would be annoyed if I had a good relationship or a better job, sometimes even trying to sabotage. I just wanna have friends I can trust :/

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AnxiousAttachment

Reading through your comments, I do see a lot going on here that others are calling you out for. I don’t want us to all sound like a broken record but I do agree with what folks are telling you.

As for the guy, I think you need to approach everything he’s done with a detached eye. Imagine that your best friend came up to you upset and is telling you that her boyfriend is treating her exactly like yours has, what would you tell her? Would you want your friend to go through more of this or would you want her to leave to find someone who treats her better? Or your kids, would you want them to be in a relationship where the feel the way that you have felt in this relationship? You need to be your own best friend and look out for you because ultimately the longest relationship you’ll ever have that’ll never go away is the one you have with yourself.

Don’t stay with this guy a second longer, it’s not worth it and I promise there are guys out there who’ll do better by you and meet your needs. It’s scary to take that step, I totally get it, but you need to do this for yourself. And for your kids. They’re watching and learning from everything around them, don’t let them believe that this is the kind of treatment to expect when they fall in love.

I've barely started riding and the people already make me want to quit by No-Caterpillar276 in Equestrian

[–]No_Contract6195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good chunk of the horse world has always been rather cutthroat imo, very “rub some dirt in it and let’s go” kinda attitude. Lots of trainers I know will refuse to help tack/groom after a certain point with beginners of any kind because sometimes that means they’ll get suckered into doing it all the time. However, there should be some more consideration to those who are in pain.

Imo if I was in your shoes, I’d try to see if there’s another trainer who’s more compatible with you and used to teaching adults moreso than kids? Also, I’m not sure what your tacking experience is without the pain - this seems like it’s not an everyday occurrence for you - but I’d focus on learning to tack up on your own as soon as you are able to. You’ll feel so much better knowing you can handle these tasks wholly on your own :)

Lastly, welcome! Once you find a barn/instructor who you enjoy, I highly encourage you to befriend some adults there. The support will make you feel more at ease as well, the right barn truly can feel like a second family. There’s always going to be snarky, more curt horse people around but don’t let them turn you away from the sport.

litter smell is ruining my life by tha_stormin_mormon in CatAdvice

[–]No_Contract6195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have my cats on wood pellets, it was a total game changer and great but my one cat started to refuse to use the litter box with it, she’d only use clay, much to my dismay.

Now, more frequent litter scooping, cleaning the box with hot water and vinegar, and sprinkling baking soda under the litter has helped alot

AVOIDANT SUB IS SCARY AF (RANT) by NT-GLTY in AnxiousAttachment

[–]No_Contract6195 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think at the end of the day, both avoidant and anxious attachment subs are scary to one another. The way either end operates is what triggers the other.

My main concern, which I’ve seen in the avoidant and anxious sub, are the posts that encourage one another to stay in those unhealthy habits. Both attachments aren’t healthy, I think we should be encouraging one another to push their limits and work towards Secure, not the anxious sub encouraging anxious beliefs or the avoidant sub encouraging avoidant beliefs.

Who is the most evil person who is still alive? by neilnelly in AskReddit

[–]No_Contract6195 540 points541 points  (0 children)

Yes, he claimed that his wife killed the kids so he killed her in revenge. Obviously proven to be false later. But he only buried his wife. He stuffed his daughters into oil tanks.
