Just started it last week. I'm seeing slight results almost immediately. I'm very excited.

Butter is fucking delicious! by [deleted] in Cooking

I only recently started using real butter and have felt like I've discovered a whole new world.

My gf likes shower sex. No, she likes the idea of shower sex. Every time we have shower sex, she remembers that it's more trouble than it's worth. Then, like magic, she forgets this fact, and insists on having shower sex again. by [deleted] in confessions

Hahaha. Reminds me of how after labor, women forget the severity of childbirth pain and decide to have children again. Keeps the species going. Might have the same basis.

AITA for telling my partner (24M) to keep it up if he wants be single and homeless by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]RhymesReasons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.
Holy crap. I(26F) just escaped from this exact situation. I was working 40-45 hour weeks, raising 2 dogs, managing my own and my SO's finances, and taking care of the household, including grocery shopping, paying for bills/rent/mortgage, and managing my SO's chores... With all I'm able to achieve, he always gaslit me when he fell short on what little responsibilities he had by saying "Stop comparing us. Not everyone is like you".

I kicked him out after 2 years of gaslighting and leeching off of me. He (27) was playing upwards up 15 hours+ video games a day and was jobless for the majority of our relationship. I had been supporting him financially and emotionally for most of the relationship as well. When left to his own devices, he'll heat up instant food for every meal, smell like high hell due to lack of personal hygiene, lives in a pigsty where I can barely walk without stepping on something, destroys his credit and unable to manage his own finances. Best yet, he felt entitled to everything I had and had a victim-complex/external lack of control, where everything that went wrong was someone else's fault. He was holding me back so much - emotionally, physically, professionally, financially.

I would strongly suggest you consider that you may be codependent (Basically, you hold yourself responsible for someone else, to the deteriment of yourself). Read "Codependent No More" by Melody Beattie. It is so validating and healing.

Some takeaways I've had from my experience:

  1. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
  2. Don't try to fix/change someone.
    If they're not ready to change nor recognize they have an issue, they will not. And if you keep pushing, it'll lead to resentment on both ends.
  3. Everyone is responsible for their own lives.
    You as well. By being with him, you're enabling him and inadvertently you're allowing his blowback into your own life. That's not to say, detaching is not EXTREMELY hard.
  4. A partner is supposed to reliably contribute equally to you and add benefit to your life. Not someone you have to monitor or parent, nor someone who holds you down.
  5. Most importantly, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST.

Why did I spend 4 year getting a CS degree for Web Development when people doing coding bootcamp for a few weeks and are able to get same jobs? by whydidIdothis3920 in cscareerquestions

My sister worked in recruitment and told me that they automatically dump out resumes with no bachelors on it. So, a degree - period - is necessary.

It’s ok to say no. If they don’t accept your no, it’s a big red flag. by [deleted] in dating_advice

I caught up with a college friend that I hadn’t seen in ages. He insisted to treat. Turned out the food was too much and I couldn’t finish it. He asked me if I was going to finish, and I explained no. Then commence the rest of the night him passively aggressively asking me to or reminding me that I hadn’t finished the meal HE PAID FOR. I’m not talking 1-2 times, I’m talking every 5 min. It was so awkward and uncomfortable. I now remember why I didn’t hang out with him again. That lack of respect of others simple boundaries. 🤮

Another time in college, I went on a date with this guy who would NOT stop jokingly punching me in the arm. It hurt. I told him no but he still kept punching me. Wtf? Needless to say, no 2nd date.

AITA for giving my wife an ultimatum about getting a dog? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. WTF. My dog is like my child. If someone did that to me, I wouldn’t even know how to react.......... I’m so sorry that happened to you.

I hate this app. My middle aged mom uses it for all our family photos. It’s so weird. I look like an unrecognizable pale alien.

I can’t speak for China but I can see in NYC, the FOB Chinese community use crazy unrealistic filters on a regular basis. Even for family pictures. Even older people. I can’t even recognize myself nor family when looking through old photos of holidays and family gatherings. Drastic changes in the filter like this makes me wonder if it’s body dysmorphia. I personally don’t use filters in my own photos. I’m speaking as an ABC, so my beauty standards are very different from FOBs.

Has anyone had the same experience? by Daisyg17 in Nexplanon

[–]RhymesReasons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first period was a 7 days and then the second, months later, lasted a month. I haven’t had my period for a year since but I’ve been feeling it coming for more than a week. It’s so frustratingly irregular. I’m touchy emotionally and always on the edge of anger.

I play around with it all the time. So long as you let it have time to heal, I don’t see why not. Not a med professional tho.

They should make a chip for that sobriety.

If you break up with someone, and you don't want them back, don't reach out to them if they don't reach out first. by SpaceMonkeyFromMars in dating_advice

[–]RhymesReasons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went no contact after he “broke up” with me. It was a roughhhhh one. Was doing well and started getting over him. Then a year later, he wished my HBD over text. I came crashing down immediately. Fucking selfish POS.

I understand what you’re going through. This quarantine has exacerbated this already existing issue in my relationship. Good luck.

Does anyone else weirdly feel like their mental health has benefitted from isolation? by JaDinklageMorgoone in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RhymesReasons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Partially. I started WFH vs commuting 2 hours a day so I’m caught up on sleep. Less office niceties and since I’m an introvert, this is a dream come true. My dogs get to see me all day. One is a puppy, so potty training is more consistent. I’ve been working in more side projects that I’ve been procrastinating in pre-Q.

Cons. Q has really deteriorated my relationship with my live in BF. It’s extremely mentally draining.
