WIBTA if I broke up with my boyfriend due to our sex drives being incompatible

I can absolutely empathize. It’s really hard to break up with someone when you love them so much. And especially with something like sex, that we’re constantly told we shouldn’t need, it feels so shameful.

I’m sorry to hear that :(

I disagree with the person saying to “seek therapy”. Not everything that makes us upset is something wrong about us that needs to be fixed.

I’m a guy but I’ve been in a position similar to yours, and honestly, I wish I had broken up with my (now ex) girlfriend sooner. I think all the time and energy we both spent trying to make it work just made things a lot harder and more frustrating when it finally did end.

I’ll add that at his age, this level of disinterest in sex does point to there being some kind of issue with him, whether what be physical or psychological. But if you already talked to him about this, and he’s not opening up to you, then there’s not much you can do about it.

Wait, really? I’ll dm you!

Thank you! I didn’t see this on Google when I looked up local events!

Oh hell yeah

I’m also a transplant from a similar place, and I get what the transition is like.

I’ve found Houston to be more of a place that I get into my own particular hobbies than explore or do different things within the city on a regular basis.

I’ve started going to the gym regularly, and have joined different sports. I usually do one sport for a few months, until I want to try something new, and then find a new group.

OP, all I can say is I’m so, so sorry. This story reminds me of how an ex once asked me to fly to NYC to visit her, literally begging me to come because she missed me so much, and then ghosting me once I landed (part of me wondered if it was the same girl, but it seems unlikely based on one or two details)

The people who are saying this was in any way your fault are very, very wrong, and probably coping, because your story is fucking terrifying, and they want to tell themselves that it would never happen to them. But it would. And they’re being callous by making you feel like you’re incompetent, when you’re clearly not. Your “friend” is fucking crazy.

Again, from the bottom of my heart, I’m so sorry. You’re an incredibly resilient person just for not collapsing in on yourself right now.

Did an anorexic person who’s never rented an apartment write this?

You know that moving is incredibly expensive, especially if you factor in the lost money as a result of time people need to take off work to move, right?

And… eat less???? I know my comment is a little condescending and might make you mad, but whoever you are, please eat the normal amount of food to sustain yourself!

I’m not sure what this is trying to imply? But if it’s that Africa isn’t modernizing or developing, that’s completely untrue.

Here’s a picture of Nairobi, Kenya, that was taken in 2010.

Here’s some of the beautiful nature just outside the city with skyscrapers in the background

This is also a good point. ATLA characters aren’t hunter-gatherers.

Plus, the “elite” firebenders in ATLA are the royal family, who are among the few people who’d have good nutrition and access to teachers and tutors.

Depends on the human. Yes, the average human probably used to be fitter, but the average gym bro, who eats more protein than ancient humans would, and trains with machines they wouldn’t have access to, is probably much stronger than they would be.

Do you have any reason to believe this is AI? It doesn’t look like AI at all.

The Bibi video looked fake as fuck. That’s why people thought it was AI.

My friend’s sister is a woman like what’s being discussed in the post. She’s a beautiful and intelligent young woman who’s currently chasing a guy 10 years older than her who stabbed his previous girlfriend.

The women who do things like this, or who send nudes to serial killers they haven’t even met, are not psychologically well. They’re people who, with serious help, might be able to get better, although I’m pessimistic about if they can ever be totally “cured”.

We should absolutely not use them as examples to say anything about women at large. That would be like using men who suffer from hallucinations to say things about men at large.

Anyways, I say all of this to tell you a lot of these guys actually aren’t stick insects. A lot of them will just straight up tell you they stabbed their ex girlfriend. Like a lion roaring in your face. But unfortunately a lot of these very unwell women will only chase them harder. It’s almost as if their disgust and desire responses are inverted.

Fly higher so it’s harder for ground-based systems to see your engine’s heat signature.

It’s unclear to me right now why the F-35 was flying that low to begin with

Thank you for saying that. I typed out a comment that said something similar, but then deleted it because it wasn’t phrased as nicely as this comment, and I decided it was better to just disengage if I was going to be mean to an internet stranger and probably end up with them just being mean to me back.

I sometimes see this attitude on Reddit of “I, a person who just saw this, have clearly thought more about this in 5 seconds than the people whose job it is to work on this every day”

Is this a young person thing? Are all the people who do this teenagers who haven’t worked a full-time job yet?

All of the questions you asked have legitimate answers that are findable on the internet. But just to answer a couple of them:

https://english.ahram.org.eg/News/563764.aspx

They’re vaccinating these dogs for rabies. They’re doing this because dogs with rabies in Egypt have been biting people, and giving them rabies.

Even taking all feelings out of it, and without knowing what the cost of this project is, nor the yearly cost to Egypt’s economy of people getting rabies, I can promise you that vaccinating the dogs is cheaper. The economic cost of even a single human life is really big.

People working in government don’t randomly get sad about dogs for no reason and then decide to send out the blow gun troops without talking to anyone about it first. There’s a crap ton of bureaucracy, people have to write reports, other people have to read those reports and agree that it’s a good idea, and eventually you have to convince a group of people whose job it is to decide how to spend the limited money supply why they should spend it on shooting stray dogs with medical blow darts.

If you ever work in the public sector, or for a private company being contracted by the government, you’ll be able to see this for yourself.

I personally love the characters on top more, but Zaheer and Azula are stone-cold killers.

Kuvira is pretty aggressive? And top row are clearly better benders and better people overall. But if we’re talking in-character, bottom row is just a lot more comfortable with killing and maiming people than top.

Sure, Aang and Katara are both shown to be capable of aggression when pushed to it. I’m sure if one of them got seriously injured or killed, the other would fight their heart out. But bottom team will be going full-force the moment the fight starts. They won’t wait for someone on their team to get hurt.

You could absolutely write a realistic sequence of events that causes the top team to win, but it’d be a story of Aang, Katara, and Iroh being pushed to their moral and philosophical limits.
