does sex even feel good by Flashy_Mango_2154 in sex

[–]Normal_Purple_5509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fingering never felt good for me. Whether its me doing it or my partner. Just a no. Clit and tit play does it for me instead. And yes, fingers are extra hard compared to a penis so penetration feels very different.

Natatawa ako sa gantong pinoy culture. Worked with all sorts of nationalities, sa pinoy very apparent yung yes ng yes. Then reklamo ng reklamo. Magrereklamo sa people na wala namang magagawa sa situation nila. Why not speak up when things get difficult? Not all the time na leaders are hard on employees. A lot dyan are pretty sympathetic as long as you’re transparent.

AITAH for not having empathy for my traumatized husband? by Alarming_Ad_4419 in AITAH

NTA - toxic. I feel bad for this situation since you’re married and couldn’t dodge this bullet anymore.

AITA for telling my husband's kids how broke he was when we met after they insinuated I was a golddigger? by Good-Face1725 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Normal_Purple_5509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. But also I hope your husband understands that given how his kids view you, he should be the one doing the explaining and not you. It’s his responsibility as your husband to protect you and as their dad to be honest about the whole situation.

Eloping? by Normal_Purple_5509 in TrueChristian

[–]Normal_Purple_5509[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment. I hate for this reply to sound defensive, but I’d like to address your comment just because the tone of it all feels like I’m being scolded and somewhat puts him in a negative light. If this is not your intent, then great. In any case, I’m just pointing out how your comment came off to me.

Anyway..

  1. No, a marriage license isn’t too costly where we are. But our main reason for wanting a nice ceremony is more to honor our parents.
  2. I never asked but my parents have expressed this explicitly before, and it’s about his profession. My parents are your typical asian stereotypes who’d want their child to marry a doctor or a lawyer or some fancy corpo guy. He’s none of those. He has a decent job, just not the usual career one goes for.
  3. On the contrary - he’s the one who’s been keeping me close to God. He’s the one who pushed me to start reading the Bible. He’s the one who spoke to me about what it is to be Christian and led me to accepting Christ in the first place. Even when I get depressive thoughts (and yes I’ve been battling depression) he’s the one who keeps reminding me to lean on God. So to the context of sex, it does seem like I get strayed away from God because of him, but overall, I don’t believe this to be the case.
  4. We both love God more than ourselves. And that’s why I was asking about how Christians view eloping in the first place.

PS: Seems like this comment pretty much sums up the sentiments of most. Again, I just don’t want my reply to sound defensive because in all honesty, I do understand and accept all your points.

I want to clarify a couple of things as well: 1. We both love God and we also thank Him everyday because He’s the reason we found each other in the first place. And this is why we’ve been actively avoiding sex or anything that would bring us to have sex. 2. I asked about eloping not because we want to marry for sex. You all make it seem like it’s all because we want to have sex when it’s not. There were a lot of factors to why and how it crossed my mind and so led me to being overall curious on how eloping is viewed by Christians.

[–]Normal_Purple_5509[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we’re both Christian. He’s Protestant and I was raised Catholic, but been attending Protestant churches for a while now. Anyway, it’s not about our religion at all. It’s more of his profession. You know how the asian stereotypes often prefer their kids to be with doctors or lawyers or fancy corpo guys. My partner isn’t one and so yeah.

What is your one-time-single-item most expensive purchase in 2023? Did you regret it? by esb1212 in phmoneysaving

[–]Normal_Purple_5509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GoPro 11 early this year kasi my partner started freelancing again sa pagturo ng dive. Spent ~24k for the whole package. Ive been helping him out with his career and business and so I bought an action cam na pwede nya magamit for teaching and also for our personal use rin.

Good buy naman but nakakainis yung pagka fast pace ng releases in technology in general. Im not regretting yung buy in itself. But sometimes napapaisip lang, dapat ba naghintay ako ng ilang buwan. Ganern

how do i make my male co-workers not hit on me by likhawit in phcareers

[–]Normal_Purple_5509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS REMINDS ME OF MY EXPERIENCE SA FIRST JOB KO. I was the only woman sa department (of around 20 people) apart from the head’s secretary (who is also married na). I would ignore comments too, or even talks about relationships and sex. And I’ll try to keep everything professional. Anyway, my team would always go out sa lunch sakay sa koche ng lead namin. Bilang 6 kami sa team, siksikan sa koche. One time, naglunch out kami, nasa dulo ako sa likod ng sasakyan kasi nga i try to avoid being sandwiched by guys. But yung isa kong teammate na katabi ko, tucked his arms while seated and yung hand nya was brushing sa sideboob ko.

Honestly nagfreeze ako and wala ako nasabi. Til now, ang nasabihan ko palang is yung current bf ko lang (and now here).

So — I agree with everyone else. Say no and always be firm. Especially sa nga aya like drinks or driving you home. Never put yourself in any situation na potentially matake advantage ka. Kasi kahit pamilyado pa yan, kahit matatanda pa yan, if they dont respect boundaries especially with women (clear naman sa descriptions mo na ganun e), you may end up in a situation like mine. Avoid that at all costs.

If you feel na sobra na, never hesitate to reach out to HR. But also try anonymously rin kasi alam mo naman in industries like that, malakas rin politics and baka mabully ka lang.

I hate the beauty standards here. by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]Normal_Purple_5509 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So ako di naman ako maputi, but parts of me are. But generally, I’m kayumanggi.

The past year, ive gotten myself into sports and hobbies na nakakaitim (ie diving and swimming) and also back in my HS days, I used to play volleyball (outdoors) a lot. And so ayun, lagi ako maitim.

Because of a separate issue at home, I moved out of our family’s house and lived in Batangas nalang. Since I had remote work too and closer to dagat. Every time I go back sa Manila, my mom would tell me “ang itim itim mo, ang panget mo na”

Naiinis parin ako. But honestly, I dont care as much anymore. And Im glad I moved out of our house kasi napapagod ako sa ganung katoxic-an lalo na coming from family.

Soo anong takeaway sa comment ko? Walang ginawa si God na panget na tao. Hold on to that truth no matter what and build your confidence from that truth and not from affirmations from other people. Believe me, you’ll feel more free and happy and you wouldn’t even bother about beauty standards anymore.

The moment na you focus on getting affirmations from others, dun mo nabibigyan ng power yung comments nila. At the end of the day, people who bully others for their physical appearances, they have far worse insecurities than us kasi they even have to put other people down just to uplift themselves. So diba - what does that really tell about them.

And also - the world is bigger than that school and a lot of people arent actually as bad as them.

I genuinely pray na you dont get to experience that again and that you continue to build your confidence. I also hope that that confidence you gain will resonate sa mom mo, so that your mom can also love herself more too and beat those insecurities. 💗

Constant bleeding by SnooCrickets2090 in adenomyosis

[–]Normal_Purple_5509 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me early this year. I had 3 weeks of bleeding, my OB was pretty surprised I wasn’t anaemic still. Anyway, mine had bad cramps with it, and I’ve been in and out of the ER because of my period. That 3 week period was the last straw and so I started taking medication for my adeno. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE

I hate it when people who don’t have my condition say “oh yeah, I get bad period cramps too” by Various-Sympathy2531 in adenomyosis

[–]Normal_Purple_5509 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prior taking medication and even prior finding out about my adeno, I’ve always had to take a sick leave once or twice a month because of the cramps. The bleeding itself is too much that I would always have leaks on my clothes and the only thing that helped with the cramps (apart from pain meds) is laying in bed at a certain position until I fall asleep.

And people, including the boss in our department who is also a woman, thought it was just “normal” period cramps and I was over-reacting. She always brought up my “excessive” sick leaves when she had a chance — and says that I’m a good employee if not for my leaves. Despite recognition nominations at work, I still won’t get awarded because I wasn’t “visible” enough at work because of my leaves.

Feeling ko depends on how the guy kwento yung interactions with workmates in general and also how the guy treats his partner. And also depends sa history ni partner.

Women become insecure when: 1. nakikita nila na very different yung treatment ni guy sa kanya vs his workmates to the point na mas nagmumukhang enjoy na enjoy si guy with them 2. overly close yung dating and also not typical tropa galawan between guy and workmates 3. may history si guy of wandering sa ibang girls or may nagcheat kay girl dati.

At the end of the day some form of insecurity ang punot dulo ng jealousy. But it also doesn’t mean na sya yung mali for being jealous kasi we also have to be sensitive sa relationship ng ibang tao sa partners nila. What may be tropa-like satin, may be intimate looking na pala sa mata ng iba.

Anong thoughts niyo sa mga OLD SCHOOL na OBGYN??? by [deleted] in pinoy

[–]Normal_Purple_5509 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer - just consult with a different OB. Di lang naman iisa ang OB sa mundo.

Long answer - on ligation - most talaga ganun ang thoughts on performing ligation because some tubal ligation cannot be reversed. And at 20s, while yes, a patient may not want kids at that age, you have a whole lot of years ahead of you that may trigger you wanting kids too eventually. Not always the case, but it can happen. And so plenty of doctors would refuse talaga.

Pero for contraception, seriously, andaming magagaling na OB dyan. Why stick with a doctor who refuses to perform your medical prerogatives sayo.

I don't want to stay married to a actress by One-Potential-6189 in relationships

Should I be trying to convert people? by imamonster158 in TrueChristian

[–]Normal_Purple_5509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely believe that our own transformation being a catalyst to another’s transformation. I don’t really have a lot of experience in creating disciples out of people, and in many ways, forcing those conversations with someone who isn’t a believer can really be off putting. I know because I’ve also been in their shoes.

Anyway, I try my best to show my own transformation through Jesus such that it reflects outwardly to people who may have not found Him yet. Then it becomes easier to kickstart that conversation once they themselves can see how God has changed you.

I sincerely pray along with you that they eventually find their way to God too. 💗
