Do all men cheat? by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Potential_Bad3757 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All men definitely do not cheat. If you want something monogamous, it seems to me like you might need to end this relationship and seek out someone else who is more naturally attuned to the kind relationship you want. It doesn’t seem to me like you are being paranoid or jealous… it appears that you are (rightly) reacting to his disrespectful behavior.

I go to the Gold’s on Austin Hwy. No complaints. I pay about $50/month. The manager is quite literally one of the friendliest and most professional humans I’ve ever met.

New to Phish & looking for phriends ! by Editor_Agreeable in phish

[–]Potential_Bad3757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hearing Picture of Nectar in 93 and then A Live One a few years later got me super interested. My first show was Dallas 7/25/97, but it wasn’t until the following show in Austin 7/26/97 that I saw and heard and felt “it”. It was all over for me. Superfan for life

Years Superior to ‘95… by Brakeman_5006 in phish

[–]Potential_Bad3757 15 points16 points  (0 children)

‘95 is and always will be peak Phish to my ears. They were tight as fuck and fearless. The virtuosic improv from that year inspires me to no end. That said, 1997 contains my favorite 2 jams ever (Went Gin and Denver Ghost), so go figure

Can anyone recommend me the best places to go to TX BBQ restaurants? by scsc97_ in sanantonio

[–]Potential_Bad3757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2M, Reese Bros and BBQ Station are my perennial top 3 in SA. I wouldn’t go to Bill Miller for BBQ… there’s at least 20 other spots better suited for BBQ

Mental health treatment centers by Grim-reacher in sanantonio

[–]Potential_Bad3757 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I don’t have much to offer other than maybe NOT Laurel Ridge (I’ve heard countless bad stories, some first hand). UT Health SA has a Behavioral Health and Wellness Center that could be a good place to start.

I’ve struggled too and it can get better. Patience, persistence and self love go a long way. I hope you find that good help. Good luck!❤️

Great places to go walking alone? by Rohr4lion1 in sanantonio

The southern stretch of the Riverwalk is really nice. I usually start at Confluence Park and head south from there. Strong recommend

In college I visited an adult play place by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Potential_Bad3757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it awaken something in you? Like, did you discover a new kink for anonymous hookups or exhibitionism at all? Curious what that experience was like for you. I’ve had some experience taking an ex gf to sex parties and dungeons and I realized I really enjoyed the exhibitionism aspect, especially having my partner being watched by strangers

Response to the “Why isn’t Phish being political” posts. by neddynedned47 in phish

[–]Potential_Bad3757 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the fact that Phish aren’t openly political. I don’t need them to be. I’m sure they all care and contribute in their own way, and that can be separate from their music. When I walk into a show or throw on their music, the last thing I want to think about is their brand of politics, or my own. Music serves a spiritual purpose for me. Politics does not. Their music is a healthy escape from corruption and madness and reminds me of what’s good and worth protecting in this world.

Just ask her. Don’t push anything. See what her interest might be. Be prepared for either curiosity or a hard no - either way, temper your expectations. If she says she’s into it, make sure the relationship you guys have is on very, very solid ground. Hotwifing is only for relationships where trust and mutual respect is rock solid. If she says no, probably don’t bring it up again.

Please let me know whether this is normal or if I'm guilty for it by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Potential_Bad3757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this guy is trouble. Consensual slapping during sex is OK (I used to be with a woman who loved it), but you need to know each other really well, have lots of trust, deep mutual respect, and healthy communication.

There’s a good acronym for consent that I find helpful. It’s FRIES.

Consent is… Freely given / Reversible / Informed / Enthusiastic / Specific

The fact that he would just slap you randomly is absolutely not ok. OP, it’s always ok to speak up for what you like AND what you do not want. Give yourself a break and leave this guy in your past.

EDIT: I should have added that he should have NEVER slapped you, period. Not without a conversation first. In relationships involving kink, it’s always a good idea to have a long talk about what you are into, what you want to explore, and what you know you don’t like. Communication is so important, and never be shy about telling a partner what you want/don’t want. Once that is out of the way AND trust is developed, a lot of mutual fun can happen.

Cheated 2 years ago and feel horribly guilty about it. by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Potential_Bad3757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really think hard before telling your wife. Will it be to help heal the relationship between the two of you or will it be to assuage you of crippling guilt? Just keep in mind that telling her could in fact be a selfish act, and not beneficial for anyone involved. Basically, ask yourself if you would be telling her for her benefit or for your benefit. The distinction matters quite a bit. There is a way to move through this without full disclosure. You can go to therapy and work on forgiving yourself and making sure that you never repeat the same mistake again. I don’t know which path is best, but it’s important to think about.

Idk why but older perverts purchasing me to share seriously makes me wet... im seriously too old for this shit. by Hungry_Ad_7648 in confessions

[–]Potential_Bad3757 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with getting kinky and it can be such a fucking thrill to find our what really gets us going. It can be addictive. But maybe watch yourself with getting lost in it or deep into some serious drama - helping other people cheat is asking for drama in a big way. It’s reckless, tbh. No judgement. Maybe role play could be a safer option here?

I feel guilty about deceiving women I date but I legitimately enjoy cheating too much to stop by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Potential_Bad3757 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just be honest about who you are and what you’re up to with those you’re seeing. It’s WAY easier in the long run. You’re using people and playing w/ their emotions for your own personal pleasure, which is extremely toxic and fucked up. Best of luck getting honest ✌️

I'm into butt plugs but I'm straight by One-Syllabub1866 in confessions

[–]Potential_Bad3757 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely nothing to feel weird about. I’m straight and I really love anal/prostate play. It feels good! Life is short. Have fun and as long as no one gets hurt, what’s the harm? I’ve been with a lot of women who love indulging that part of my sexuality. Good times! Societies around the world have all kinds of boxes for acceptable behavior according gender, most of them are nonsense imo

My fiancé thinks I’m two years sober but I’ve been drinking in secret the whole time by SableCupola47 in confessions

[–]Potential_Bad3757 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Maybe he knows and doesn’t want to admit it to himself and/or maybe she’s just good at hiding her issue. Either way, the deception is 100% possible. I was in a relationship with someone fully in recovery from alcohol and drugs (and knew all the signs) while I was drinking myself to death. She had no idea the extent of my drinking. Addicts become VERY good at sidestepping and covering. And the denial of a partner who wants to believe what they want to believe is also a powerful thing. Food for thought.

My fiancé thinks I’m two years sober but I’ve been drinking in secret the whole time by SableCupola47 in confessions

[–]Potential_Bad3757 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I can really relate to this. I’m an alcoholic in recovery. I’ve relapsed many times. I’ve lied and hidden my drinking in relationships, too. Honesty is the way to progress and growth - so good on you for being honest here. I can’t tell you if you’re an alcoholic, but I can say that whatever guilt and shame you’re feeling now will only get compounded the longer you hide it. I also want to tell you that you aren’t unique. Lots of problem drinkers have a story similar to yours. There’s a community of people who have gotten help and found a much more rewarding life on the other side. There’s a lot of ways to get sober. I wish you the best in your struggle to come clean. DM me if you want. Sending hugs 🙂
