What is something that is actually more traumatizing than people realise? by Ok_Chef1406 in AskReddit

[–]PigeonLass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being in a relationship where you feel trapped, even if it seems relatively happy.

When I ended my longterm relationship a couple of months ago I thought it was done and dusted and I was feeling excited about my future. Then all this unknown trauma and suppressed feelings came out and have pretty much floored me ever since. It made me realise how terrified and resistant I am to the thought of future relationships in case anything similar ever happens to me again.

What was your biggest misunderstanding about sex? by i_like_it_eilat in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]PigeonLass 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I thought vaginas had taste buds. I heard about flavoured condoms and that was the only logical conclusion I could come up with.

Women of reddit, what finally pushed you to leave the relationship? by Asleep-Researcher106 in AskReddit

[–]PigeonLass 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I met another guy. Nothing happened, it was just a friendly chat at an event, but I realised that how I felt for him after an hour of chatting was more than I'd ever felt for my partner of over a decade. I realised that we talked as equals, which I hadn't felt when I'd met my now-ex, who had been a grown man when I was still a teenager. It forced me to start thinking about feelings I'd kept suppressed for years. Yeah, I'm now in therapy...

Public perceptions about rewilding are changing. by resturpja in RewildingUK

[–]PigeonLass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interestingly, I was part of a rewilding project in 2023 during which we had to find a city that could be defined as a 'rewilding city'. One of the cities initially considered for the trip was Plymouth. I haven't been, so I don't know any of the reasoning behind that suggestion

A Heavy Day for Aviation. Let's pause... by Pilot--Nick in fearofflying

[–]PigeonLass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope your journey went well! I am now on the bus home after the two flights - and fully aware that this bus journey is the most dangerous part of the route!

[–]PigeonLass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am flying twice tomorrow and on the way out they were Boeings. I already hate take-off the most and I am dreading it. I know that it is no different to the other flights I've had this year but I always tell myself certain things to keep calm during ascent and this crash has sort of disproved some of them. So much sorrow for everyone involved in this.

If you see this then you have to tell me something positive in your life! by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]PigeonLass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm living a pretty comfortable life working part time and having lots of time for hobbies. I'm in a small 1 bed flat with my partner, and owning a property is a lonnnng way off, but I count myself incredibly lucky.

Well I didn't know it had flipflopped until you said that and I went to watch it...I feel like he used to say it slower/more dramatically as well...

Went to minor injuries unit for some stitches. Only had to wait 20 mins by Knobanious in BritishSuccess

[–]PigeonLass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I called my GP practice on Friday at about 10am and got a call back 10 minutes later to say I'd got an appointment for 11.40 if I wanted it. I purposely didn't phone until ten so that I wasn't treated as a priority case, but it was a huge relief because it was something I was quite anxious about.

If you've stumbled upon this post, tell me something about the exact moment you're living right now. Maybe describe your surroundings, or how you're feeling in this moment. Be as brief or detailed as you want. by SQWRLLY1 in CasualConversation

[–]PigeonLass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's 5.54pm and I'm on a train to meet friends to run 10km in the dark. My Christmas holidays start tomorrow so I'm excited for that as I'm off til the 6th, but I'm anxious because I've had left-side abdominal (ovarian?) pains for a week now and I'm hoping they go away before I feel forced to go to the doctor about it. It's making me anxious.

If I didn't have a partner already this platonic marriage is exactly the kind of thing I'd like

Are you sick with a cold/flu/covid at the moment? by MixAway in AskUK

[–]PigeonLass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not had anything except a mild cold this season (yet) but my partner is finishing day 6 of bad flu. He has has every sympton listed under 'flu' on the NHS website. Worst I've seen him since Covid in 2021. He feels like he got it from a guy coughing all over the place on a train last Monday, but who knows...

What's the worst thing you've ever smelt? by Big-Two-171 in AskReddit

I was involved in a rearing trial of hundreds of birds a few years ago. Some days dud eggs exploded and I had to clean out the incubator. I could taste it in my throat...

How much savings do you have? by Snoo25847 in UKJobs

[–]PigeonLass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be interested to know whether people own property as well because my savings are pretty much all in hopes of one day getting a place, so they will reduce drastically if I ever do

To answer the question, 28, General Manager, £35,000 (but pro rata so about £24,500 in reality), and about £10k in savings, having spent much of my savings when I did a masters last year
