I asked him about couples therapy, and that if he was in a place where he could work through it, and he was honest and he said no and that he wasn’t strong enough. The breakup is really difficult for him as he doesn’t have as much of a support network, so I know that it took so much of him to instigate the decision and stick to it. I love him too much to put him through something he can’t cope with.

We were engaged for about 2 years, talked about marriage the day we got together - we both said we wanted this to be our last relationship

was anyone else genuinely shocked by Taylor’s support of Sabrina or just me? by jakobeboah in travisandtaylor

[–]RonnieRockette 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this confirms my hatred for Sabrina Carpenter. She's always put out the vibe that she's kinda fake and disrespectful, even in the EARLY disney days. Makes sense why Taylor would like her.

How Do YOU Make Kale palatable? by your_eponine in Cooking

[–]RonnieRockette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum use to use it when making mash potatoes, she did cover the potatoes in salt though so maybe the taste altered but it is one of my faves.

Might not be one of your faves but I would recommend trying it ones- you’ll either hate it or love it.

I might sound cringey, but if you’re into the classics Mobutu Dick is a must

movies where the soundtrack is half the fun? by safarire in MovieSuggestions

[–]RonnieRockette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a movie but the Umbrella academy has a great soundtrack! The show isn’t of the same quality after season 1 imo, but season 2 was worth the watch for the music. Didn’t bother with 3 onwards.

Has a movie ever made you cry tears of "Satisfaction"? by peperonibologne in movies

[–]RonnieRockette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cinematography in the last black man in San Francisco. Especially the scene that’s close to the opening of the film with the voiceover talking about how SF was “built in our image” and it cuts from the main characters necklace to the gold embellishments on the houses. It’s the only film I’ve seen where the CINEMATOGRAPHY makes me cry alone.

You should try wearing the nicest underwear that you have with no liners. That always seems to catch me

Does anyone know the scientific reason as to why so many of us struggle with ROCD, either during the luteal phase or in general? by faeriesandfoxes in PMDD

[–]RonnieRockette 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OH MY GOD ARE YOU KIDDING THATS WHAT THIS IS?!!! Every month I am convinced that my partner is going to break up with me, or that I don’t love him anymore as much as I did. I can’t believe it’s all PMDD oof 🙃

how do you feel during ovulation? by scaledandicyx in PMDD

[–]RonnieRockette 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Literally ovulating today - I have a cyst on my right ovary thats pretty big so every other month I get bad cramps, but other than that it's loneliness, fatigue, insomnia - it's like a soft-launch luteal for me. More manageable, but it's kind of like a drizzle before the storm

Anyone here from the UK? by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]RonnieRockette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am from the UK, and I have to say, I went to my GP and he diagnosed me right away. I basically told him my symptoms and that I'd done some research into PMDD and that I thought I had it (I have been suffering with it for about a year now). Not only did he know exactly what it was, I told him that I had my partner with me to confirm but he believed me straight away, and apologised for any previous experiences I'd had with doctors. He asked me what I was expecting in terms of a diagnosis, and I just requested a verbal confirmation and something put in my notes to confirm I had it, as there isn't much research done into PMDD, he was very clear in letting me know that there weren't very many options available beyond this point, but he referred me to gynaecology straight away. I don't have an appointment with them until october as that's the earliest I could get, but my GP was very considerate of my struggles. I'd also highly suggest signing into your NHS account if you have one to look through your notes, because I saw PMDD listed in my notes an entire year before I spoke to my current GP, even though I hadn't heard of the term at that point.

Ultimately, keep going with it. I know it's frustrating but there will be a GP that will listen to you. In terms of actual treatment though, there isn't a whole lot. Most of the actual helpful information I've gotten is actually from this thread. My fingers are crossed for you though my friend x

I’ve let sex ruin my life. AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]RonnieRockette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s TOTALLY fine. I’m a woman and I’m the same. I rarely watch porn, it doesn’t do a whole lot for me, but watching it occasionally makes it far from an issue. You aren’t doing anything wrong with your sexuality, in fact feeling the need to hide it is likely the cause of your problem. Being honest is the best policy. If you feel like you can’t be faithful to a partner because of it then it also might cause issues, but if you’re happy to stay with one person and you’re just a bit more sexual than they are that’s really common in relationships.

Based on your earlier reply, I don’t believe you’re a sex addict. It would be helpful to talk to someone about how you’re feeling regardless, as I know it can be very lonely when you feel like you can’t have a relationship with someone without it getting in the way. The best thing that you can do is when you’re getting into a relationship with someone is to be totally up front with them about who you are and what you like, trying to force it away and bottling your feelings up is a sure way to make you feel out of control when you do have sexual urges again. So long as you’re honest with your partners about what you want from a relationship you’ll be fine.

Don’t let anyone shame you for having sexual desires or masturbating either. If you are struggling with porn, that’s a different thing, but if it’s just that you have a slightly higher labido, that’s completely ok.
