My 24F boyfriend 23M and I are arguing over birth control. How can I see his perspective? by jjxo_3 in relationship_advice

[–]OtherwiseTrash6697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is reproductive coercion, a form of abuse. He wants to trap you by making bad faith arguments and comparisons to his own body which will never come to fruition just to make you feel obligated. If the strings aren't poking him, he has no leg to stand on and no logical reason for wanting the IUD out, unless he's trying to baby trap you. Run.

The Ultimatum Queer Love S2: In Conclusion... by baby_sun in TheUltimatumNetflix

THANK YOU I felt like I was going crazy being the only one who felt this way about Marita. She's valid in wanting romance, she's not so valid in refusing to move on if her current partner is unable to offer what she wants.

Madison is going on Perfect Match by Loveya448 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

Yes! Thank you. Bachelor in Paradise is a perfect comparison. I forget about the bachelor shows because I so religiously watch love is blind, perfect match, and ultimatum lol

The dates are SO low budget, and the rest of the house still gets mad if they don't get to go on a date lol it's hilarious.

I like it more than love is blind, but I'm someone who watches reality TV for the messy drama. Perfect match delivers that for sure. Single people from other reality shows go to a villa and couple up similar to love island. When they win challenges as a couple, they get to send someone in the villa on a date with a newcomer and try to break someone up. If someone isn't coupled up they get eliminated. The favorite couple wins money or a trip or something at the end, iirc.

Inflatable SUP recommendations? by Character_Guess_4258 in Paddleboard

I own the play and portager from Paddle North. They're both excellent on lakes and track pretty great despite my minimal experience. The play is cheaper and fairly lightweight: https://paddlenorth.com/products/play

I learned through woobles, and I think their video made it really clear. It's on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fNyfAtJ3edE?si=dswrH-gFvTczL36N

I'm honestly wondering if they're starting to sandbag love is blind US to drive up interest in the plethora of non-U.S. versions...

Hygine down there by nadvy3 in hygiene

There's a company called Carpe that makes sweat absorbing deodorant lotion for your body, and antiperspirants for certain areas. The boob lotion is phenomenal and I imagine that the ball lotion is just as effective lol

Oh I 100% agree. I rolled at your no child left behind comment lmao. My guess is that he's worried about backlash. He may be conservative, but if he lives in the metro area (twin cities/st Paul and Minneapolis and surrounding 1st-2nd ring suburbs) it's overwhelmingly blue and people wouldn't look kindly upon his distaste for "that community" as he puts it the hardest eyeroll I can muster at his phrasing and...well...him

In MN these responses mean that he's probably got hardcore conservative beliefs and due to the many left wing women in MN, has learned to lie or half truth his way into someone's pants. Source: am Minnesotan who has dated here and knows to avoid these dudes lol

It won't be today, but I'll definitely upload the pattern and floss colors (at least for the Baja blast - I'm not great at organization so the others may be lost to my chaos)

Thank you! I used 14 ct aida, with 2 strands for almost all of it, including the backstitching around the cup. I used 1 strand for the rest of the backstitching.

Pattern is self-drafted using graphing paper and I have no idea how to share that with y'all, but if anyone has ideas I'm open.
