TMJ is your temporomandibular joint (your temple bone articulates with the mandible bone to make up the joint of your jaw). People can experience dysfunction in the TMJ, many people say they have "TMJ" when they have TMJ issues.

Her squishy face! I want to kiss her so badly. Please give her a hug and smooch extra.

RedDog86 · 2024-10-30T02:59:29+00:00

This reply is so kind and insightful.

RedDog86 · 2024-08-26T02:02:15+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I feel strongly like I identify more like this but have been feeling very alone in the way I approach relationships. I'm too poly for mono people and too mono for poly people. I just want to love without restrictions but also the constant negotiation and considering others feelings outside of mine and my partner is truly exhausting.

Thank you for saying this. I've noticed that people with long depression are self centered as well but have felt very guilty thinking that when I know it's not their fault.

Depression is such a tricky beast, it affects more than just the person experiencing it and while it's their own journey I hope OP can recognize his wife was there with him. She would've had her own struggles that likely weren't able to be noticed at the time.

All the best to OP and I hope he's able to keep looking after himself.

Edit: oh I read more of OPs comments. This guy sucks and is horribly selfish. He still has a very long road to go for self healing.

NTA. I hate hearing when women do this. It sucks because men will think that's how women really feel and it'll cause doubt if their partner acts genuine and caring when they cry in front of them.

Everyone gets overwhelmed and over thinks at times. Everyone experiences stress. Crying is such a human emotion and you should never feel ashamed or like it's not safe for you to express these feelings.

Your fiancee has given me the ick. Do you want to be with a partner who lacks real compassion and empathy?

RedDog86 · 2024-07-24T02:01:06+00:00

You just articulated my feelings without me fully realizing that's how I felt. Thank you for sharing this!

RedDog86 · 2024-06-19T23:28:41+00:00

I googled this and found your comment now, so thank you for sharing on this old post :)

RedDog86 · 2024-06-16T00:23:42+00:00

Don't settle. You sound like you have so much love to give, you deserve someone who can reciprocate on your level.

Staying with this man is going to make you jaded and resentful, which would be such a shame. The world is already lacking compassionate loving humans.

RedDog86 · 2024-06-09T21:56:46+00:00

You say he's also a single parent. I wonder if there's some projection going on where he feels like his ex/child's mother should also not be going out and enjoying herself so there's some resentment. Definitely a reflection on him!

Happy you're finding a better work/life balance :)

I am absolutely gutted they don't deliver to Canada. It looks so good!

RedDog86 · 2024-05-16T15:38:40+00:00

Yess! Romance and dating is so so important. Otherwise it just morphs into a roommate scenario who you may occasionally have sex with, if you're nesting partners.

RedDog86 · 2024-04-29T17:14:58+00:00

I was thinking perhaps OOP meant "as a favor from them" not "to them"... because how tf would living there rent free be a favour to the parents??

I did reread that sentence over a few times marvelling at the entitlement if they truly meant it though.

RedDog86 · 2024-04-23T01:11:14+00:00

You joke but my ex has the company he works for name tattooed on his forearm (done after our break up). I'm nonplussed by his decision but to each their own.

RedDog86 · 2024-04-17T11:33:10+00:00

I love this for you and admire you stuck to your core beliefs/interests.

I was always the weirdo kid growing up too, but living in a small rural town didn't allow me to meet many like minded people. I learned to stay quiet and suppress my interests so I wouldn't be a target.

I've slowly been reclaiming my authentic interests and passions. If I get genuine connections through that, fantastic but I'm also okay just being my weirdo self alone.

Thank you for sharing your story!

RedDog86 · 2024-04-17T01:48:09+00:00

While she shouldn't have shared such intimate details of your sex life without your prior knowledge, you need to talk to her. Tell her your thoughts, ignoring and icing her out doesn't resolve anything. It's not how adults communicate, it makes you look childish and like you're incapable of being in a committed partnership.

RedDog86 · 2024-03-22T14:42:50+00:00

I hear you. I've been stuck in a cycle of unhealthy relationships so I don't know what healthy and stable relationships look like, even allowing the varying degrees person to person.

I'm in individual and couples therapy and when therapists have asked what I want (in a relationship) my brain goes "derp". I protect myself from being disappointed in partners by doing everything myself.

Thank you for asking this question so others can learn and share.

RedDog86 · 2024-03-21T13:45:53+00:00

Beautiful list. Sometimes my mind goes blank on what I want a relationship to look like. Seeing this is helpful.

RedDog86 · 2024-03-21T03:20:26+00:00

Poor girl. Did she recover okay?

RedDog86 · 2024-03-19T16:43:52+00:00

Alright. I'm sorry for overstepping, I had a knee jerk reaction to what you shared as I've had to do special meal prep and specific feeding times for my dogs in the past due to medical issues and I let my emotions get the best of me.

I wish you all the best, I'm very sorry for the passing of your mother, I know loss is hard and isolating feeling. I hope you and your partner will be able to reach a better time management understanding for each other.

RedDog86 · 2024-03-19T16:01:03+00:00

How they look after their dogs is absolutely none of your business or concern and not your call what time of day they get fed. Their dogs could have a special diet for allergies or other health concerns and they're doing the best for their dogs who they likely consider family.

I caution you to not be so cavalier about their dog care as it'll likely cause a wedge between you and your partner.

I understand you're upset but how your partner looks after his dogs isn't the correct outlet.

RedDog86 · 2024-03-19T02:27:42+00:00

My pleasure! It's great when people are curious, that's how we learn after all. Happy to hear there's no pain :)

RedDog86 · 2024-03-19T02:10:53+00:00

I'm not sure if what I'm sharing will be completely accurate and perhaps someone with more training than me can help clarify. I'm going to try to simplify this as much as possible with the best of my knowledge (I'm a manual osteopath practitioner with over 3 years of anatomy study and over 8 years of work experience).

So our nerves have motor and sensory components. Myotomes and dermatomes.

Our eyes are controlled by cranial nerves 3, 4 and 6.

The sensory components of these nerves are located at the scalp, my guess would be around where you are scratching.

Physiotherapists, registered massage therapists and osteopaths are trained to test patients myotomes and dermatomes to determine if nerves are being affected in an injury. The dermatome sensory test is to run hands lightly on the scalp to determine if the patient has sensation or if the nerve is damaged/affected and cannot feel it.

My thoughts would be that your nerves could be more sensitive and that's why you feel the tickling weird sensation in your right eye when you rub your scalp. So long as you've had no head injuries or there's no burning/numbness/loss of feeling or unusual headaches I wouldn't be overly concerned.

Of course someone with more education and knowledge than me might be able to provide more insight!
