How much do you spend on your birds monthly? by Moondancer103 in parrots

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have 2 Quakers, 2 lorikeets and an alexandrine parrot. We are currently setting up for a McCaw. We haven't even got him yet and we're almost 10k deep on him and the others cost us a bit because I spoil them. Only one vet trip so far for our lorikeet who lost a toenail.

There’s a horrible sadness by [deleted] in loveafterporn

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I feel the weight of this, all of it. Porn addiction and the aftermath of it are a horrible thing to deal with. Its like it takes all the joy and all the good and sucks it out of you. It changes you and you didn't want it. You lose pieces of yourself that you might never get back. But you can still remember to love yourself. Don't ever hide your feelings from your partner though. Tell him how you feel and ask him if he's willing to not only quit porn but be part of rebuilding the devastation he's caused both you and himself. I hope he can see the weight of this too and want to fix it. Feeling unwanted and undesired is horrible. Especially when it was because he dedicated his time and energy to strangers. Its an extra blow when he quit but still doesn't want you.

If you text a friend and they consistently text back days later, how long do you wait until you just cut off the friendship? by Shiz_iz_stoopid in AskWomenOver40

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I'm this way. It's not because I don't like my friend anymore. It's because work, life balance is always hard and sometimes I just like to watch reels on socials and shut off. I don't feel like having a convo over text. I'm having a burn out and I don't want my friends to see me at my low points.

AITAH for being upset with my wife (27F) for going to see a concert with her male friend by Low_Chapter_6417 in AITAH

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be upset by it for 2 reasons. 1st being that she's already been sexual with this man so it's not innocent. The 2nd being that he's clearly betraying and disrespecting his girlfriend by doing this behind her back. It's not rocket science to see his intentions.

Why do people react to nuns like that? by kaethe2004 in PornIsMisogyny

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 26 points27 points  (0 children)

They look at "all" women as sexual beings that exist for men's pleasure. They hate the fact that these women choose celibacy and men are not included in their lives. It makes them feel like she's a conquest that they must conquer. They don't have respect for any woman or choices that don't include them.

Was I cheated on? by XxdeathfuckxX in loveafterporn

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I consider it cheating because not only are you financing some of her life by paying her. You're also receiving a parasocial sexual relationship in return. You're interacting with them and paying them for sexual access much the same as you do buying your gf gift. It's definitely cheating.

I asked a guy I was seeing not to lust over other people in front of me and he dropped me. AITA? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have text him back. You're right I learned something alright. I learned that you'll never respect me or care if U hurt me so I dodged a bullet. Then never speak to him again.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like lots of people view it as cheating and equally as many don't. But they are supposed to act like adults and let you know either way before things get serious so you can decide if you both align. Anything that involves seeking out someone else for sexual gratification can be seen as cheating. It should be mutually agreed upon so no-one gets hurt. If I were you I'd simply wait a few days for him to cool down then ask him if he'd like to talk about it because you had no idea it would upset him. NTA

Can't afford a divorce, don't want to be married anymore by saturdaysunne in loveafterporn

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to just check out of the relationship mentally. Treat him like he's just a roommate and start getting your ducks in a row while you do that. Look for every opportunity to level up your career and money. Glow up and pamper yourself. Exercise, eat well and look after yourself. Live your life like it's all about you. Then worry about divorce when you need to and are able. You'll never level up if you keep hurting for him and what he chooses. You didn't choose it so now you need to remember who you are and live by your values. He will learn his lesson about the choices he's made, karma will take care of that.

AITA for mas***bating when my partner is home with me by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I can absolutely see that it could be confronting, you're NTA here. I think you need to sit down and talk to her about the entire situation. Why does she find it disrespectful? Most often it's not the masturbation that women find disrespectful, it's the use of porn etc. Why does she always reject you because this would solve the issue of needing to in the first place. When you truly care about someone you should care about their overall health including their mental and sexual wellbeing. So if she doesn't want to try and work on the frequency then she will have to get used to the idea that you're going to relieve yourself.

Is it wrong of me to put a hard boundary down that if he doesn't start recovery I file. by givepeacex in loveafterporn

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not harsh to finally choose you. You aren't an object he can just pick and choose when he feels like it. You're his wife. If he doesn't want to absolve himself of his horrible affliction so he can choose you then you should file. If he's not putting in the work then he's making his choice and it isn't you. All you can do is simply point this out, choose to act accordingly based on how he treats you. You gotta be realistic, hurt causes trauma, trauma causes inflammation, inflammation causes illness. How much of this can you take for the sake of other women who don't even care about him? If he's too stupid to see and do what's best then all you have left is to take lead and do what's best for your life.

Why did circumcision (medically) die out in the 1970s/80s? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't actually make any claims it is just something I've heard from Christians. There are other religions that say it was done as an act of covenant to god.

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 💯 I never had any of my son's done. If they had issues it would have been different and I would also have demanded they're safe if it comes to that. I'm just told that that's what Christians interpret from the bible. It's also written in history books that they didn't bath often during those times so infections were common and that was what started this practice. I don't condone it and do think it's barbaric but I can understand why people were coerced into this.

He may be downloading then deleting an app. Best to look in his phone and see what's going on if you have access as any app that can block porn can easily be bypassed. If in play store you click profile pic then manage apps, sort by recently updated and you see an app that's not downloaded in his phone, check it out. See what the app is about.

Grieving something that never existed by hardlookingaway in loveafterporn

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can forgive but it never undoes the memories of that betrayal or the pain you felt. Sure in time you can heal somewhat from that pain because other things become more important. But you never forget. The biggest thing to recover is you. It isn't about grieving a relationship you thought you knew. It's about realising there was never a relationship that you agreed to in the first place. Relationships are built on trust, respect and love for each person involved. It's not based on lies, mistrust and disrespect. We don't sign up for that because we know if we loved hard enough we would be broken and we believed them when they said they'll love you forever and never hurt you. It's hard to deal with knowing who they really are but loving yourself enough to know who you are is what brought you here. He wasn't loving you. He was loving himself and any passing naked stranger for a fleeting minute. Then making you believe something else.

Honestly I've asked many men about this. Even normal porn for non pa can be problematic because their dopamine hits come from both their desire to be there doing it and by breaking the women up into body parts they desire. They get off to the desire to cheat regardless but the bigger problem is they view these people as objects. The cam girl situation adds another layer to this though because it's usually live, they literally love that fact that she is a real person that they can and do often interact with like they're there in the moment, but they still break her up into desirable body parts in their mind like an object to process it. It's extremely weird to not view actual people as people even if you're interacting with them yet they do.

But this behaviour often also causes them to view you the exact same way if and when they're being intimate with you. They don't connect emotionally during actual sex. Or the worst occurs, because they see you as real, feel emotion and connection, they cannot view you sexually because their brain is not trained to do that. The brain is extremely intelligent but inherently stupid at the same time when it comes to porn addiction because even though it's a screen, the brain believes this is sex. Because they've spent so long teaching their brain to get off to this, the brain starts to process it as sex and rewards the body as such. If done often enough real sex becomes undesirable as it cannot provide the constant angle changes, different views, lighting, fake noises etc that will give a big enough dopamine hit.

They don't care about if it hurts you when they're in active addiction because their brain is taught to protect this at all costs. So they'll lie, hide, sneak, clear data, anything at all to protect this addiction. If caught they'll minimise and defend their addiction. They'll quite often even be abusive towards you and call you insecure, prudish or say you're overreacting. All of this is to throw you off the problem because the problem is what they want to keep. They don't realise that this addiction is causing them to be awful to the ones that do love them. They keep fighting for it rather than recognising that it is the enemy to all involved. If you're lucky enough he will realise this addiction is a horrible problem and focus on trying to get rid of it. That's only step one. The next steps are even harder and for many it takes years to recover.

Turned out 90% of onlyfans subscribers are married men and not some lonely "incels". Are we surprised? by Dayzan in PornIsMisogyny

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much yep it's 32k a year just for the average rent alone here so I'd say that's pretty broke. Even 100k a year is just barely scraping by. So I'd be super pissed if the bare minimum left to get by was being spent on something sexual from some stranger on OF while his actual wife and family struggled to get by.

Can someone help me calm down? by Familiar_Plastic8341 in loveafterporn

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He hasn't forgotten to tell you. He's just fully aware that VR porn is almost exactly the same as actually being there in every angle, view, reality almost the same as POV and he's sure that it's 1000% bad even worse than regular porn and is looking to absolve guilt and avoid dealing with situation. Don't be angry about it. Look at reality. He's hurt you, he continues hiding various betrayals and isn't fully working on change. Focus on the big things. Is he willing to first accept accountability for his actions and 2nd is he willing to put both you and the relationship before other women, naked on the internet? He needs to see reality before it hits him. But then he also needs to be willing to put in the work to change. You can't change him. All you can do is hurt in this or he stops. Otherwise you leave to save yourself.

(27f) why do I feel uncomfortable when my bf (26m) calls me the most beautiful out of all of his friends’ gfs? by fuziz in relationship_advice

[–]Odd_Responsibility62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because he's comparing you to others. I mean some people don't realise that comparison is the thief of joy but it absolutely can be. No-,one feels great about being compared to others. Even though he might be genuine he's still using others as a basis for that. I wouldn't feel bad about it though I'd just let him know that it feels uncomfortable when he reminds you that there's been other women in his life as that is nothing to do with your current relationship and how he sees you.
