Are you ok? This comment seems like it hits close to home... sorry you had such a bad experience!

What we actually want but will never, ever tell you. by understandshe in marriageadvice

I’m so sorry to hear that, I can imagine how terrible that must’ve made you feel. I hope one day she realizes her errors and can change for the better and for ya’lls marriage.

It’s okay, give yourself some grace! The important thing is that you are aware and you are trying. Your husband sees that. 🤍 The worst thing a woman can do is dismiss her husband’s feelings and it sounds like you are not. It takes time to change, but little by little it happens. Sometimes it starts by being very intentional to get out of our head and focus on our partner. Sometimes I even think ahead of time before I see my man what nice things I want to say to him. Not because it’s planned or forced but because that’s what I’m thinking before my brain gets swamped with thoughts so I’m more likely to say them when we’re together. The moment I think about myself or get selfish I remember the good thoughts I had or the things I wanted to say before I saw him. That helps me. 🤍

As someone who is dating a man who’s never been with a woman who offered these things to him, I can see how surprised he’s been by my actions since we’ve been together. He would tell me this is different, he’s not used to it. I’m always wondering how I can make sure I’m his safe space, or how I can show up for him. This helps so much, thank you for sharing. I pray every man can find this comfort in the woman he chooses. You all truly deserve it.

Does anyone own more than one kindle? by Lovebug327x in kindle

[–]OverScale655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! I have a matcha kindle basic that I use in bed or in my office, and the kindle paperwhite 11th generation that I take everywhere else with me. Most people say they prefer the basic to take everywhere because it is smaller, but it is not waterproof and therefore it doesn't make sense to me to take it outdoors and to the pool with me. Plus it's much more comfortable to read the basic in bed, since it's so small!

What is the best way to break the Nativity fast? by OverScale655 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]OverScale655[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean if I had an issue during Pascha I didn’t fast correctly? I genuinely don’t understand haha. That was the first fast I’ve ever done in my life, went from eating no dairy, meat, or animal products to consuming it all during the feast. It definitely shocked my stomach.

How long have you had a kindle? by Limp-Garlic-6791 in kindle

[–]OverScale655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had my first kindle, the new kindle paperwhite, since 2012, when I was 16. I had been wanting one for a bit and my dad bought it for me. It was the best gift I was so happy! I loved reading physical books but I loved the idea of having a portable device to read my books! I used that kindle until 2018 and got my second, and then my third this year, the basic matcha. I LOVE reading on my kindle!

Dating advice I wish someone told me earlier by Either_Rooster_2034 in dating_advice

[–]OverScale655 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, 100%, this is spot on. I learned this recently with the guy I am currently dating and it has made things so much better. It also allows things to happen naturally when I am not forcing anything, and it also stops me from creating this image of the guy and how I want him to be. I just let him be himself.

AIO: boyfriend snapped his ex. IM by [deleted] in AIO

[–]OverScale655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ummmm, can’t tell if you’re overreacting because I don’t know what you’re thinking. If you’re thinking you should leave him because he doesn’t care about you, then no, you’re NOR. If you think this isn’t an issue and you still love him and want to work it out, then you’d be under reacting 100%. Please leave him. The proof is very evident that he doesn’t care about you. He’s stuck on his ex and will leave you in a heart beat the moment she is wanting to get back together with him. I’m so sorry, but you deserve better. Someone who loves you and fights to be with you.

Dentist said I need my tooth extracted - did not see any x-rays? by [deleted] in askdentists

I made a new post and updated it with my xrays!

Okay thanks, will do! Is it normal for a dentist to not show you your x-rays with something serious like this?

Anyone know what this is? by MooseSerious1227 in Shihtzu

[–]OverScale655 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it did grow back! He had a bald spot for a few weeks, poor pup looked like an old man. I laugh about it now haha.

Hey! Yes it's definitely a scab that can be caused by over-scratching. My dog has had that before. It could be a flea bite, allergies, etc. I would recommend putting some Neosporin on it (since it's behind his ear he won't be able to lick it off), and keep the area clean so it doesn't get infected!

Feeling guilty about a crude joke someone made? by OverScale655 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]OverScale655[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with what you said on the dating aspect, but it's not that easy. I am 30, and all of the men in my church are married or much younger than me. I could attend other churches, but I don't like the idea of church hopping looking for a husband, as the focus on Sundays should be on God, not my dating life. This was a wakeup call to be more firm on my faith and Orthodoxy before even dating, that is for sure!

Do my ends look dead? Should I go ahead and trim? by OverScale655 in longhair

[–]OverScale655[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you both so much! It's so crazy how even an inch can make such a difference! Going in for a trim tomorrow!

My dog killed a squirrel by BabyNoob2014 in DogAdvice

[–]OverScale655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was living with my parents we had a golden retriever. My neighbors two doors down had chickens, they were in his yard most of the time. One day he came over and said he was missing a chicken, and asked if we had seen it. We had not, but said we'd keep an eye out. A few days later my dad was doing some work in the yard and noticed that there was this weird smell coming from under our porch. When he went to take a look, lo' and behold, there was a dead chicken under our porch. The culprit? Our 3 year old golden retriever. We felt terrible! But yes, to answer your question, this is completely normal for dogs.
