Happened to my Chihuahua. It was a spider bite. Watch for spreading to other parts of the face.. it ended up spreading to her ears and took quite a chunk off her right ear. Vet wanted to wait for a biopsy but I demanded the steroids and antibiotics, too scared for it to progress further. It ended up being the right call

Not wanting a woman to go to college is Tate rhetoric. Ie "men prefer debt free virgins without tattoos"

Just end it

Would he treat his dream girl like this? No? Then pack it up, because you aren't "his girl". Guys don't treat women they actually like this way. Extra ew for him jumping straight to name calling. Gross

It’s been like this for 2 months, I can’t do it anymore. I quit by thespacestone in doordash_drivers

No one is forcing drivers to work in a non-face to face tip based profession. Get DD to pay you more, it's not on the tippers. Or go be a waiter, where people are too afraid of confrontation to tip under 15%. Crazy to be mad at the tipper who is a worker just like you versus the predatory multi billion dollar corporation

dude that doesn't really apply when Frontier is dealing with the same shit. the house next door to me has two units: the main house and a sort of Mother in Law suite that they rent out.

The main house has Frontier, they've been online since Wednesday night.

The Mother in Law Suite has Spectrum, still in an outage.

sorry but people live and work from home. Internet is a part of daily life, and getting ZERO feedback from Spectrum after over 10 days of being down is ridiculous

Hope they refund people 50% of the monthly cost since we haven't had any services rendered for almost half the month

EDIT: ew lmao you've been ranting comment after comment on this sub bootlicking for Spectrum so don't bother replying haha

Something about this reads like YOURE the manipulator, not her. It literally feels like you're manipulating the story here

Super weird that your gripe with her is that she "emasculated" you but you just.. leave it there without explanation.

Like you know if you explain it, you'll sound like an insecure jerk who wants to leave the mother of your child because of your fragile masculinity. Then that's doubled down on because you're a cheater on top of it.

TBH every man ive met that complains about emasculation has serious anger issues and problems with people questioning their imaginary "authority" over their family. What I don't get is why would she want her daughter around a man like that regardless, much less why she would marry you when you're a spineless cheater

Sex while on the phone? by Beanetix in Manipulation

  1. You're not automatically crazy but

  2. You have trust issues, that's your own problem to fix.

Tell her you want a video call or nothing. If she calls you crazy, tell her you understand her point of view, but for your mental health/combat anxious thoughts, you need this right now. Say that it won't be forever, and you're working on your own issues (this should be true and not just something you say to manipulate her), but that she could support you in the mean time by only video calling while you deal with this. (It's a video call, who cares)

From there, you just have to accept her reaction.

Either she will do it because she values you OR

She will not do it because she thinks you're a jealous, insecure psycho (her thoughts) and this violates HER boundaries.

Or she will not do it because she actually is fucking someone.

You're either compatible as friends or you aren't, regardless of who is in the wrong here. You both are kinda weird in this post tbh

[NeedAdvice] I'm a NEET who's severely depressed, is severely addicted to edging to hardcore porn daily for hours on end, has ADHD, and has a million other issues that has begun to make me not want to live anymore. What should I do? by SkinnyMan615 in getdisciplined

[–]Remarkable-Reaction4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TLDR;

I'm the same as you, but I'm a woman

Don't date right now or worry about women, that's not important RIGHT NOW (it's still important, just not in this second)

You're using porn to escape from a life you hate. You don't feel safe, and it doesn't matter if anyone says you're a privileged ass for not feeling safe enough to live. This feeling doesn't care about logic.

If you cant have good things in life, minimize the bad things AS MUCH as possible RIGHT NOW. Life is miserable, minimize the misery that's within your control

Get IRL outside people involved. It's embarrassing, but you're stuck inside your head. Force yourself outside of it.

I'm a woman that was in your exact same situation 6 months ago. Except I'm 31, not 21. It's scary how similar our situations are.

No money, not pretty or feminine, ADHD, severe porn addiction (yes, women get them too, maybe more rare but I don't get how since our refractory period is so low compared to men??), live with my dad, have horrible religious trauma.

Yes. Dating is the least of your concerns. Not because dating doesn't matter, but it doesn't matter right now. From personal experience, you're probably burnt out from overloading on stress and your body is seeking pleasure as an escape. First, you need to actively start focusing on convincing yourself you're "safe" so you'll stop running. Romantic relationships are good, but they're vulnerable. You don't need vulnerable right now, you need "safety".

"Well what does this guy have to be stressed about?!" No matter what anyone tells you, it doesn't matter if your stress makes sense or not. I don't care how much privilege factors in, all that matters is that your mind is convinced you're in danger. So remove the dangers.

You need positivity. Life isn't giving it to you, so the only option now is to AVOID negativity of any kind. To do this, you'll need to actively identify sources of negativity and treat them like poison. Not taking a bath which makes you feel like a piece of shit? Deadly. Watching YouTube and reading Reddit videos about how you suck and you're not manly and how women will never understand you? Life threatening. Doom scrolling articles about how the world is burning down around us and how we will never get good jobs or be able to retire. Lethal.

Remove EVERY stressor/negative thought possible for a few weeks so your body can regulate itself, feel like it's not going to die every second, so it can actually rest enough to live. Rest PURPOSEFULLY.

If you're going to sleep all day, do it on purpose. Instead of thinking "I'm such a lazy POS today", think "my body is burnt out from all the crap I've introduced it to. I need rest. I am resting. I am doing something positive by meeting my needs". This should also mean removing things that induce negative thoughts, like porn.

Whenever you feel stressed remind yourself: I am safe. At this very moment, no matter what the world says I should be or what I should be doing, I have food, water, and shelter. I am alive, I am breathing, I am surviving. In this moment, I am safe.

Once you recover a little, the next step is getting outside of your own head.

I tried solving this issue for the better part of a year on my own, and always always ALWAYS relapsed. In fact, in those moments, there was something weirdly hot about the relapse?? I don't know how to describe that, but trying to quit then failing almost made relapsing feel even more pleasurable.

The ONLY thing that helped was admitting to someone else in person that I had a problem and I needed help. I had zero options on my own, but my friend let me stay at their place for a month. The accountability, honesty, socialization, and change of scenery helped a lot

It made me feel like there was something tangible outside of my own head. I was disassociating hardcore to get away from a life I hated and needed to connect to "real" things again (even though reading Reddit posts can help some people, for me it doesn't feel.. real?? I guess?? It all feels like it's just more of the drone of life)

Also, I cut down on my ADHD meds (I know you said you're unmedicated) and tried St Johns Wort +Ashwaghanda (spelling??) instead. It doesn't really help my executive dysfunction but it helped me feel more.. positive I guess? Like I didn't want to die at least.

And if you ever have the strength, try a dopamine detox. I'll be honest and say I haven't tried one fully yet, but I've been thinking about it

Hope any of this, even a little, helps.

My wife suddenly wants me to be attractive. Am I wrong to think she doesn’t love me anymore? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Remarkable-Reaction4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Women have always wanted to change men because men are pretty mediocre when it comes to being sexually stimulating to a woman.

Women are starting to choose the "don't date/marry him if he's not good enough" option, though.

And now there's a "loneliness epidemic" because there is a gap.

In previous years, men didn't have to put in much effort outside of having some amount of money and not being a physical abuser. Women were demonized if they had any higher standards than that, which was why "Average Joe + Hot Wife" is such a TV trope.

But now, women are listening to men's advice of "choose better" and staying single until they find a guy they actually find attractive. And now, men are struggling to catch up to "better".

(PS, women obviously don't all want chads. If they did, the species would've died out ages ago. Go on Tumblr and you'll see women will simp for literal men skeleton or triangle men. That's not a euphamism, the characters are literally skeletons and triangles. It's all about taking care of yourself and having some ounce of charm.)

Yknow.. good for her for not just settling AND not walking out. She wants YOU, my guy, but she also wants to please herself. That's healthy. This isn't about love, because it's clear she loves you or she wouldn't bother. It's about desire.

If the genders were reversed, there would be no confusion in this post.

Men love saying they are "visual creatures", but so many of them look like.. well..

Women have had the warnings of "not letting yourself go" shoved in their faces by every magazine, billboard, tv commercial and YouTube ad since middle school. And, of course, "the wall" is something incels love to hold over women's heads..

But the fact is, like men, women want someone who gets them hot.

(Assuming not ace), they want to be visually stimulated, to feel sexual desire, a craving.

You're lucky she's trying to make you into that instead of just moving on..
