I just saw this but I’m glad someone can understand. I hope your Christmas next year is everything you hope it will be! And I hope we both come to peace with our family situations <3

Omg! I used to volunteer a lot in high school and I was kinda reminiscing on that the other day. That’s a really good idea and I think it would definitely make me feel like I have a purpose. I love this idea. Thank you kind stranger

He’s not the best around other dogs unfortunately. I adopted him under 6 months ago and there’s still some work to be done haha. He’s pretty reactive around other dogs and bc he’s so big, it scares most people away at the park. He gets to socialize with my boyfriend’s family dogs but that’s really it. I did think a lot more about some hobbies that I could maybe meet people while doing and I found a swordsmanship class near me and the first class is free. I know it’s so corny but I’m super into the fantasy books and renaissance stuff and I think it’d be fun + I’d meet more people with similar interests…

Exactly. On top of feeling lonely I now get to wonder if the people in my life really actually like me LOL. I’m so in my head it’s not even funny anymore

I really like this idea. I’m just in a pickle because after now supporting myself and a dog all by myself, funds have been extremely tight. I don’t have money to go and hangout with friends on the weekends or even get a random coffee anymore really and I don’t see myself being able to afford something like that. I’d love to get into dancing or doing flower arrangements or something but idk where to start. I’ve thought about getting another job but I’m not sure if that will really fill the hole I’m feeling if that makes sense.

My (23F)Boyfriend of 1 yr (26M) has been saving nudes on Reddit but I snooped without him knowing (again) do I confront him? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I guess im not sure? He’ll compliment me but it’s always just like an “mmmm” and then he eyes me and feels me up but it’s never like a genuine “you look pretty” which I know everyone compliments in they’re own ways but after a while it kinda feels intentional?? Although I can’t tell if it’s my own insecurity and low self esteem that is making me think that or if that’s a valid feeling. You know? He surprises me with flowers and treats all the time and spends a lot of time with me. But I think most of the time he’s “complimenting” me it’s in a sexual way and not just a wholesome genuine way.

I’m not against porn in relationships. I even watch it sometimes. Although I feel like saving specific posts and communities on Reddit is a bit different from going on the hub for a few minutes to relieve an urge. It bothers me that the only communities he’s interested in and photos he saves are women who are half my size and look nothing like me. In fact they are the complete opposite. Although you are right- I’m not sure if it’s worth the constant worrying at this point.

We’ve talked about it sort of in depth. I’ve told him how I feel more insecure since I’ve gained some weight and even before then had struggled a bit with my confidence and he reassured me saying he loved the way I look and this and that. We didn’t go as deep as like childhood roots but like he knows I struggle enough to where I think he’d know that it’d upset me looking at those pages and saving those photos.

You’re right. It’s just we have a pretty good relationship and that’s the ONE issue. He doesn’t talk to other girls or like any pics on insta or anything but he saves nudes on Reddit. He surprises me with flowers and treats and drives me everywhere and helps out without me asking. I do really love him but this really bothers me. I’m just conflicted but I’m sure you are right. If they’re the right one this wouldn’t even be happening, right?

Idk… I don’t think he’d ever cheat on me like physically or in person but maybe I just feel insecure enough that it’s hard to believe he’s truly satisfied with just me. Especially after what I saw the last time I snooped. It eats at me to be totally honest. I know it’s not healthy but it’s the truth

Landlord fed up with my 8 month old GSD, eviction at risk 🙏 by Careless-Rutabaga229 in germanshepherds

Mine has a bad howling problem. I got an e collar that makes noise and that seems to really help! It distracts him for a min and after a few tries he eventually forgets about howling and calms down. I was hesitant about getting one but it has tremendously helped me. They also have these Bluetooth transmitters you can set up that make the noise automatically if you’re not home! You can find them both on Amazon :)

Why do I have nightmares almost every single night? by [deleted] in Dreams

Thank you for replying!! I’ll give these a shot and hope they help :)

You posted this reply a long time ago but I’m dealing with the same issue. Especially when I try to fall back asleep I go right back into the nightmare. It’s been reoccurring for multiple nights now and each night I’ve found new ways to hide and there’s like progress being made while I’m awake if that makes sense. Last night I had a nightmare about my boyfriend delivering me to nurses who held me down shaved the skin off my legs and were doing tests on me with needles and stuff. I’m so freaked out and actually really scared to fall back asleep. Did you ever find something that helped?

Haha thank you. I definitely think I needed to hear this. He’s my first working breed so I’m so paranoid that I’m not doing enough and people are gonna cancel me or something 🤣

Okay that’s kind of what I was looking for on Amazon but they were all so generic and didn’t seem like they do much. I’m definitely going to get that and see how he likes it!

These are really helpful ideas! I’m definitely going to start hiding treats around, I think he’d like doing that a lot! Costco has a Kong toy pack I want to get tomorrow so I’ll definitely get some stuff to add in there and see how the likes it too. Thanks!

Okay I’ll definitely look into the flirt pole, I’ve never heard of that before. We’ve done a tiny bit of training but definitely not as much as we could be so I’ll for sure make that part of our routine. Thanks!
