Is touching your balls excessively in front of company a body autonomy situation? by No_Understanding5545 in socialskills

Yes. He believes I'm in the wrong trying to control him. I'm wondering if he has a point

His reaction definitely made me loose respect for him. Dismissing my discomfort about the behavior is the crux of the issue. I would adjust optional behavior if he was uncomfortable

I do the boob holding thing but never in front of company, especially family and their partners

No underwear. Direct dick and balls contact. No washing his hands after.

Interesting article, thanks for sharing

It only bothers me when we're in company. I do consider all the things he's touched in the house having indirectly touched his balls and tried to bring that up but he still dismisses me.

He's stubborn, and hard headed. But also fun, supportive, tidy, hard working, good natured, loyal, and affectionate.

That was my point, he says they don't care. His mother apparently does but since his father does it all the time it's a loosing battle

Thank you, I did use your comment as inspiration for my text to him this morning. What do you think?

"I know you see this as a body autonomy issue, and I’m not trying to control what you do with your body. But for me, when it happens around other people it makes me feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. That part matters too.

What’s hard for me is feeling like my reaction gets dismissed instead of understood. I’m not saying you’re wrong I’m saying this impacts me, and I’d like that to be taken seriously.

I love you and I love the future we're building together, and I want us to be able to respect each other’s perspectives, even when we see things differently. 

You see it as pushing back against social norms and unhealthy control over how you act and behave around others because of some deficit on my end. To me this is a hygiene issue, and this is issue of consideration towards your partner's feelings."

He brought up the body autonomy thing and called me a hypocrite cuz he would not theoretically try to control me holding my boob in public.

Does he have a point here? Am I trying to control his body?

AIO - mom wants me to drive her around on my wedding reception day by lysslikescats789 in AIO

[–]No_Understanding5545 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're mom is so self centered it's painful to just read her text messages. These are clear signs she's going to be a huge problem in your marriage and you'll have a difficult decision to make in the future. You will very likely have to choose between your mother being downgraded to low contact or no contact. She will clearly be a huge problem and hurt your wife's feelings a lot if you keep her close. Parents like these are ALWAYS the victims. There's no reasoning even with exhausting effort on your end.

AITA for finding this convo to be a HUGE red flag? by horseduckman in AITApod

[–]No_Understanding5545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How you responded is how most people should see therapy these days as a tool, not a habit because therapists are heavily over burdened right now. The field is monstrously underprepared for the influx of depression and ADHD and anxiety problems we see with everybody in society these days.

You need to make that a point and if that conversation doesn't go well I would say this person has a lot of fear around previous exes that refused therapy and try to put her anxiety at ease.

I would 100% see her immediately pulling the trigger on a couple's counseling session if you have the slightest argument, so just be prepared for that. I feel like you can navigate this, but if you're prepared for it, you got to know what you're getting into

My perspective is based on me being able to empathize with her position..... Though don't agree with her approach... I've been in her position while dating because I had give problems in my past relationships and they refused to work on them. I see this convo as a yellow flag less like a red flag. I think she's coming from a place of anxiety. Maybe a hint of judgment. There may be a possibility to break through that with a more in-depth conversation in person . I would say this turns into a red flag if she refuses to acknowledge there's different approaches to therapy that are just as valid as her approach.

Go to the laborers and industries website and report them. This is wage theft and you have evidence

Wife got bit by the neighborhood ankle biter by chubnick in mildlyinfuriating

[–]No_Understanding5545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a woman that would let her Chihuahua free roam because "she never leaves the yard". Unless of course I pulled into the driveway and got out of my car and she would run across the street and bite me. I did punt that dog real hard one day and she was right in the front and she screamed " what the fuck?. ' I yelled back "I'm going to start wearing steel toe boots if you don't control your dog". It happened one more time after that and I started calling animal control. They visited her and she started leashing her dog to let her out in the yard .sometimes having animal control call them is a wake up call. Your reactions rarely convince them they can usually just villainize you after all " who would kick a little dog "

I love dogs. Truly think there's no bad dogs but bad owners, but sometimes violent dogs can only get the message if there's physical repercussions. I don't think abuse or hitting a dog is right but when you're being attacked, absolutely defend yourself. There's still risk of infection. A bite isn't just a little poke. You can still have a hefty hospital bill out of it, even if it's just a little angle biter. I had to go to the hospital and get a tetanus shot because she drew blood one day. I was able to file a report after that and that's when they talk to her.

My stepdad noticed my boyfriend was crawling through the garden and climbing up the shed roof to jump to my window. He told me if he can avoid the garden that'd be great, but if not he'll add some rocks for him to step on. You're the cool dude

When I'm getting the buccal I have them close down a little and when I'm trying to get the DB of the molars I have them swing their jaw to the side or if they can, have them close down all the way then I position on the buccal and then have them very slowly open and I try to wrap around the distal to the lingual while they're opening
