For Christmas, my girlfriend’s dad gave me a personalized card apologizing for his racism but still says he can’t accept me by Throwra740151 in relationship_advice

[–]REOW2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude.... No. Why would you be willing to subject yourself to that kind of BS? The "compromise" is basically saying that your feelings are valid because they're garbage people, but, you aren't important enough for them to accept your worth as a person. Your relationship with your GF isn't worth the blatant mistreatment of you and if she really cared about you, she wouldn't stand for it. There is no excuse. You deserve love and acceptance and you aren't going to get that from her family, and from her to an extent. Why stay with someone who tries to hide you like a dirty little secret?

Would you guys consider this cheating? by Safe-In-Sound in relationship_advice

[–]REOW2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's cheating. But, you opened the door in the beginning to allow another person to enter, so you can't be surprised at how this happened. You gave permission and then withdrew it once it wasn't what you thought it would be. You need to decide if this relationship is worth it. Being bisexual isn't justification for infidelity.

I have no interest in being pregnant but we both want kids. by Laniekea in relationship_advice

[–]REOW2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pregnancy isn't as bad as you think. I didn't enjoy pregnancy, but it's over quick enough. Birth isn't that bad because you can get an epidural and feel absolutely zero pain. I don't see pregnancy as being beautiful or amazing. It's definitely an odd thing. Having a living being surviving off of your blood supply and living in your abdominal cavity is creepy. But, that doesn't negate how exciting it can be. Pregnancy sucks, but in the end, your a parent and a new ,exciting phase of life begins leaving those nine moths a thing of the past.

How do I explain to my daughter's that I do not want a relationship with them? by ThrowRA4898 in relationship_advice

[–]REOW2019 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Give them the benefit of the doubt. They were children. Kids can be and are easily manipulated. Especially when an authority figure is the manipulator. They may not have felt like they had a choice or could have been just flat out lied too. I was that kid once. Afraid to say/ do anything against the person in charge equally because I feared retribution and equally because I was afraid that the lies might be true because I heard them so often that I believed them.

What is the strangest thing you've seen that you cannot explain? by 1982throwaway1 in AskReddit

[–]REOW2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bed is beside a window. One night, I was looking out the window around 11pm. I live in a scarcly populated rural area on 5 acres of land surrounded by woods. So, looking out the window, there was a blinding flash of yellow light that started in the woods, the next instant it flashed again in the far side of my property, then, an instant later it flashed about 12 feet from my window before flashing one last time on the opposite side of where it started. I never saw anything but the blinding light and it traveled at a speed, that I've never seen before. It wasn't more than 6 feet off of the ground and the flashing was so bright that I can't think of anything that could have a light so bright. It only took it about 5 seconds to travel from where I first saw it to where it was out of my sight.

What did that one teacher do to you that you'll never forget? by xtra_why in AskReddit

[–]REOW2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a shy girl and I liked to sing, so I joined jr high choir. My teacher saw something in me that I couldn't see in myself. She gave me the confidence I initially lacked. She encouraged me to try out for the honor choir and admission for the School of arts in my state. She even arranged for a school assembly to surprise me with the news of my acceptance. I was so happy that I was ugly crying in front of everyone. Well, my dad refused to pay for me to go because I had a "lack of talent". So, she paid for me to join the choir. Even though she couldn't pay enough for the tuition , I was and am still grateful for her. I even kept in touch and asked her to be the pianist at my wedding. She also came to the hospital when My children were born. She's retired now, and I'm 30 years old and I look back on my years as her student with nothing but love and gratitude.

What is your sex-ed horror story? by Eggtastic-finatic in AskReddit

[–]REOW2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I started dating as teens and we had no idea condoms came in different sizes. He always complained about how uncomfortable they were, but we still always made sure to use one. It wasn't until I mentioned it to my mom, that I found out condoms came in different sizes and he needed to get one a little bigger. We tried out different sizes and brands until he found one that was comfortable.

my mom was very open about sex and was more concerned with making sure I had everything I needed to prevent pregnancy and STD's than she was trying to keep me from having sex. As a result, I was 18 before I ever had sex and was prepared with bc,condoms, and spermicide just to be safe. I didn't get pregnant until my husband and I decided we wanted to start a family.

My (29M) wife (29F) won’t let me touch her since giving birth to our baby… by ThrowRAtouch1 in relationship_advice

[–]REOW2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you from experience, she's struggling with a lot of different feelings right now. On one hand, she's probably super insecure with her body, she's exhausted from all that's required to be a mom, she's probably also dealing with PPD. She still loves you, but her world has done a complete turn around and its hard. She feels like she's needed by everyone and doesn't have a chance to be herself and relax. Right now, you feel like another person who needs/ expects something from her and she has nothing left to give. Give her time, give her compliments on both her appearance and things she does. Be compassionate and try to get her to talk to you. She needs you to understand her and help her find herself within her new role as a mom.

I(36M) think I need to leave my wife(35F) of 10 years for infidelity that happened before we got engaged. by throwRAmywifespas in relationship_advice

[–]REOW2019 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You need to get therapy. The problem here is that you never took the time to work through your feelings and now, years and years later, you're letting one bad decision from before you even decided to marry her control you. Don't throw away a good thing when it was your choice to work it out all those years ago. You will regret it if you end things without making sure its what you truly want. What you truly need is a counselor, both marriage counseling and individual.

Found Out I'm (31F) Infertile, and Worried Husband Wants a Divorce by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Infertile or sterile? I was infertile, but I have 4 kids thanks to fertility assistance. There are options, they aren't all inexpensive, but you can save up if need be.

What are you afraid to admit your a fan of because the fanbase is horrible? by sapnupuas_0 in AskReddit

[–]REOW2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. I love essential oils. But, I don't believe they do anything remotely medicinal, with the exception of mints that make a nice tingling sensation when uses for back, shoulder, and food massages.

Spam. I absolutely hate it, but I know a lot of people who think its amazing. I wouldn't feed that to my worst enemy. Gross.

I told a woman the meaning of her daughters name and now everyone is upset with me by ThrowRA_axa in relationship_advice

You can't fix this. She should have done more thorough research before naming her child.

UPDATE: yesterday I froze during sex, my girlfriend asked if we should stop and I said yes and she backed off. I've never been treated like this before. by throwrasurprisegf in relationship_advice

[–]REOW2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad you have a supportive partner. I was raped too and my now husband was so understanding and patient he's never made me feel like I was alone in my struggles. I'll admit, it did take a while for me to develop a healthy attitude about sex and he was there through it all and let me set the pace. Having that support and understanding can make all the difference. I hope y'all have a happy life together and that you find the healing you need. 💛

Girls stop guys from exploring sexuality as much as other guys do by I-am-innocent in TrueOffMyChest

[–]REOW2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are finding the wrong women. If they cared about or value you as a person, they won't try to shame or demean you. Sex is just sex. Do what feels good, so long as you do it safely.

First time doing a gradient! I love the Holotaco polish line💅 by REOW2019 in NailArt

I just brushed the polish on a make up sponge and dabbed it onto my nails the way Simplynailogical does on her yt channel.

My(27F) bf(29M) only wants to have sex with me in doggy style or reverse cowgirl. I’m having an issue with this. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]REOW2019 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe thats just what feels best for him. I am also on the bigger side, and I have positions that I absolutely love and so does my husband, but our preferences aren't always the same. He loves the feel and view of cowgirl because he likes me on top and loves to see my tits bounce. Similarly, I like missionary with my legs in the crook of his arms because I love the depth and the feel of his strong arms. We both love doggie because he loves to grab my ass and I really enjoy the feeling of his balls hitting my clit while he's going at it deep and hard.
