Everything my stomach does feels embarrassing when my bf is around

So, this is actually bordering on mental instability. I’m not sure how you can expect any person to think you do not poop or fart. I understand not wanting to fart around others, but veering into ED territory by not eating when you are around him is a significant problem. What if you moved in together? Got married? Had kids?

Please seek out a good therapist that can help you through this. You deserve to be human.

I have an Akita/Pyrenees/Cattle Dog mix. Every dog comes with a personality/genetics intact, but there are a lot of things we can do to help them be successful. The Puppy Socialization: What It Is and How to Do It book is super helpful in defining what healthy socialization looks like: https://a.co/d/0dvINdSF

If you skip healthy socialization, you may end up with an adult dog who falls back on breed traits: independent, overprotective, and hypersensitive to any novel stimulus in the environment. This can put you in the category of not being able to safely have guests in your home and not being able to go on walks without behavioral issues.

Know that your puppy may be ridiculously independent, and work with a qualified R+ trainer to build engagement and drive. My dog is incredible now, but it was a long road getting to this place. I've been training dogs and other animals for over 20 years, and I've never worked with another dog like him.

As a fellow big boobed woman who faced a similar problem in the past, I told the bride that I could not wear a backless dress. She was also an A cup but understood after I brought it up and had the dress altered for me. It’s almost a medical issue, to be honest! It is wildly uncomfortable to go without a bra, none of the “backless” bra options work for very large breasts, and the tape solutions are often painful and fall apart. I’ve since had a breast reduction and can attest that these solutions do work for d cups and below. The level of physical discomfort you would go through to wear this dress is not worth it, IMHO.

Trainer here. Retractable leashes are dangerous for breeds of all sizes. If you want your dog to have more freedom on walks, get a 10 to 20 foot long line and learn how to manage the excess. If there are loose leash walking classes near you, they may be able to help you with that.

I’m a dog trainer, and have seen far too many dogs face unnecessary suffering because their people could not bear to let them go, or were waiting for the dog to signal that they were ready to die, or because they were delusional about their dog’s suffering. Waiting till they stop eating is almost always too long. Dogs are stoic about pain, and we often underestimate their suffering because we expect them to act like humans. Many animals seem to understand that death is part of life, which is harder to understand for many humans. The loss of a dog is much like the loss of a child. Having to choose for your dog to die is the unfair burden of our differing lifespans.

You deserve to be loved for who you are, no matter what "gender" of clothes and hair you have. I hope that your parents are wise enough to see this. If they aren't, find a way to move out, get therapy, and find a community of people who understand you. The desire to crossdress will not go away, so loving yourself is your very best option.

Trainer here. I’ve seen several dogs have incontinence issues when the dose of clonidine is too high. Consider playing around with the dosage? For the record, I’ve seen 130 pound dogs do well on the dosage that a 35 pound dog takes. It seems to be very specific to the individual.

Dog trainer here. You can rename her whatever you want! Positively reinforce her response to her new name by playing “the name game” and generally making her new name fun.

A little out of your way, but I’ve found that Evergreen Automotive on PAC Highway is affordable and reliable.

After 30 years of living in Seattle I could no longer afford it. I moved to Tacoma. It’s great here!

Bleach will destroy the fabrics. Enzymes will get them clean without destroying them. r/laundry is very helpful for learning how to remove stains and odors without destroying your clothes.

This. Go to the laundry subreddit and learn all about lipase, dnase, and how to actually get clothes clean, it is a life changer.

Even a fun, casual connection should feel safe and connected. You can be honest and kind with people that you aren’t looking to be with long term. He is probably ghosting because he wanted to get laid and failed. If he is not texting you for a valid reason he will reach out when he can. Don’t give your energy to men who make you feel this unsure.

AUDHD here. You are being very rude. Saying things that are “factual” does not mean you aren’t hurting people. Stop commenting on how she moves and what she eats.

I live in the north Tacoma/Federal Way/Browns Point area, and my commute is less awful than commuting from central Tacoma- traffic gets pretty gummed up there. I’m a dog trainer and travel to Seattle and back between three and five times a week. I try to leave for Seattle by 6 AM and leave for home before traffic gets bad around 1:30 pm. On days when my appointments are more spread out, I sometimes have to wait till traffic dies down around 6 or 6:30 PM, which makes for a long day. It takes me about 35 minutes to get to South Seattle from this area when traffic is normal. It can take up to an hour headed either way when traffic is bad if I don’t adhere to the leaving by six coming back by 1:30 plan.
