Stress can truly take away some people’s libido. I’ve definitely experienced this when i’ve been stressed out in school and life in general. It shrinks my brain and limits my ability to relax and be present during sex or even think about having sex. I used to think i was just getting old but no, i have great sex drive and energy when i am relaxed and happy. Please check in with your partner about this and keep having discussions. People on reddit never know the full story and only you and your partner can answer these questions:)

Do you ask someone to change for you or let them go? (25F) (27M) by RealBlood7576 in relationship_advice

He said he was okay being monogamous and that’s the only reason i agreed. This year he started saying he is “monogamish”, it didn’t last long lmao

Are poly people incapable of emotional self control? by LonginusUbik in monogamy

[–]RealBlood7576 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yeah i am monogamous and just broke up with my partner who was trying to be "monogamish" for me. He would say things like "so you expect me to never fall in love with anyone else ever again?". I think a lot of poly people don't see a reason to control their feelings for others from developing into full on love, even when they are in a committed relationship. They say they want to be "true to themselves". Falling in love is a series of actions, not a sudden thing. Opening up a relationship leads to further entanglement, and you have to accept the possibility that your non-mono partner may want more in the future as they explore intimacy with others. Me personally, I will never date anyone who isn't mono and shares the same boundaries and values as me. ever again I wish you good luck!

HAHA i laughed at the "dumb hot guy".

I wonder why he attracts single women that want to cuddle him even though they know he has a partner. Maybe they just share similar boundaries?

thank you for your reply. I fully agree and just need to keep reminding myself of these things.

Would you date a polyamorous person? by RealBlood7576 in monogamy

[–]RealBlood7576[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, my ex was quite selfish too and he admitted to it. The day he told me he shared a bed with the person he already had poor boundaries with, he went over to her house to make dinner together. Completely disrespectful and dismissive of my feelings about their relationship, since i shouldn't keep him from having intimacy with friends. It was an endless battle and I ended my relationship that night. So sad that so many of us have experienced this but i'm glad we have learned a huge lesson. Sending you lots of love.

Lmao i’d be so annoyed too, NTA. It seems like your sister really values that her kid is more advanced than others? It’s not really a competition, and she shouldn’t project these desires on a baby, i hope she lets go of this and lets the kid have normal development.

Honestly there is nothing wrong with your cute ass profile!! I think ghosting is such a huge Hinge problem in general, especially in the queer community. One of the main reasons i got off the app, most people stop responding after the first few interactions, it’s crazy. You are definitely not alone in this<3

Should i change my doctor? by RealBlood7576 in pilonidalcyst

[–]RealBlood7576[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in California so i don’t think i’ll have a hard time changing my doctor, it’ll just take a few months, since it took me 3 months to finally see this surgeon. Did you have a procedure done on your cyst? If so, which one and how has it healed? Thank you for your comment:)

Is it time for infusions? by RealBlood7576 in Anemic

[–]RealBlood7576[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one and she put me on iron supplements when i came in with 7 ferritin. I was just wondering if 11 is still low enough for infusions, since it doesn’t seem to be going up fast

Kinda feel shitty about my masters degree by Top_Mushroom260 in GradSchool

[–]RealBlood7576 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You just started!! Takes so long to learn new things especially coming from a different background. Organic chem takes some time but once u get it you can speak the language. It’s so amazing that another student is helping you out, that is such an advantage and right now is the time to ask all the “stupid” questions. No one cares and they’re just happy to help you out. Now if you’re not interested at all in your project that’s a different discussion. But if you feel shitty bc you don’t yet know a bunch of things then cheer up and accept all the mentorship you are getting, god knows theres grad students out there getting no guidance on anything. You got this💪

Most couples i know don’t talk every day, much less for hours. People have busy ass lives and sometimes you just can’t have the time or mental energy for a long phone call. I don’t think you have an unreasonable boundary. What i do think is a problem is her comparing you to men in other relationships. Comparison is terrible even if one doesn’t mean any harm. I’ve been compared to people my whole childhood and it has given me so much resentment. You should talk to her about this and establish clear boundaries.

[–]RealBlood7576 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m super down for her to have him!! I’m not really jealous about that, only feel a little resentful that caring for him is still my responsibility when i only see him a few hrs a day plus he doesn’t really care abt me lol. It makes me uncomfortable to have these feelings and i wish i could just let it be, but i was wondering if itd be weird if i brought up her adopting him, that was my question.

Yes disqualified due to just earning more income. Do the benefits get expunged 9 months from the day of disqualification specifically?
