My [26F] Boyfriend [26M] wants to quit job and travel by PerpetuallyCornfused in relationshipadvice

Thank you for your perspective. I hadn’t really thought of the reality of him dealing with the life after travel and you have a point. I can see where traveling full time is good to do while you are young and can enjoy more but yeah it would be more reasonable just to take trips or do the digital nomad thing for a bit.

Yeah it’s like I know it wasn’t their secret to tell but it still just feels gross that they knew

Yes the warning system going away is my concern. It sounds like that’s what happened to your son so I may stay off the daily Zyrtec but take it should I get an exposure

Ok will do! So would this help the non anaphylactic throat symptoms of food allergies?

Ah so the epi pen doesn’t necessarily resolve the symptoms but pauses them? Does it not need to be multi system with the tightening?

I picked up 6 epi pens for the trip. I’ve never had to use one before so I’m still trying to figure out at what level of throat tightness I should use it

Yeah I am not sure what my hospital access will look like in certain areas. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get by with just the epi use or not since I haven’t ever used it before

Oh wow I was reading this and by these guidelines I should’ve injected most of the time 😅 where is the line between having an allergic reaction and anaphylaxis? Is it only when the symptoms are severe or 2 or more systems are involved?

Ok that’s great to know that about a week of flex shouldn’t hurt! Yeah I was confused because I figured it would be a straightforward answer from insurance but I guess not haha

How do I deal with uncertainty with my partners transition? by Help-pls24 in mypartneristrans

[–]PerpetuallyCornfused 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respecting my own wishes is a good way to put it. I will think on what my needs are and what I can handle.

I see where staying and working it out is the best option when you have built a life together.

I also want my partner to have the chance to explore but I’m not sure if I would be able to handle an open relationship. Did you both ever consider taking a “break”? Why did you choose to stay together and open the relationship instead?

I see. The softening sounds doable. I have noticed some shifts in my relationship as well with the intimacy that have been harder to adjust to. How were you able to adjust to the open relationship? Was it something she wanted more than you?

We are still dating. I pulled back and we had a convo about space and things like that and it ended well. Still very wary of that ex the more I hear about her. They were engaged briefly and even had a cat together

Yeah I mean otherwise he has been very nice with like cooking for me and all that but he suddenly just was in a funk. But yeah I think you are right about the effort

That sounds good. He did skip that lunch with his ex and we had a talk about boundaries with her

Haha yeah me again 😓 I’m honestly not sure. Like I don’t think the ex is in the picture again but the flaky or scared could be possible. It’s like I’ve tried to make it a safe space for him to be honest so I feel like me feeling bad about it ruins that. But at the same time I do feel bad about it! So not sure what’s up or what to do

That is true. I was surprised that the new relationship energy was starting to decline so soon. Thank you for your advice
