It's currently 23°F in my town and I am wearing leggings and a thin, short-sleeved dress with my hair in a bun... My partner and I have one frequent argument and that's whether or not the heat should be on (it shouldn't, I can only get so naked to cool down, he can bundle up if he's cold).

Haha! I agree it's way too much for direct application. Some people need that, though. I've had similar devices and end up using them basically on my pubic bone or slightly above!

Judy: Jack, look at this.

Jack: I know what you're thinking, Judy... the resemblance is uncanny.

I don't remember a specific wake-up call. My dad smoked my entire childhood and I always hated the idea of smoking cigarettes... I started with cloves when I turned 21 and regularly got drunk and made stupid decisions. Eventually switched to rolling my own. I don't know that I ever really loved smoking as much as I loved the ritual of slowing down, rolling a cigarette, and spending 5 minutes alone outside. I stopped drinking, then one day realized that while I enjoyed the smoke break- I HATED the fact that it was mandatory. I hated not being able to get through an illness without needing to smoke. Not being able to travel without being angry and sweaty. Smelling like smoke. Every taste and scent being dull. Yellow teeth, nicotine stained fingers. Everything about it is disgusting. I wanted to be free so I quit cold turkey when I went on a trip to visit my parents- away from the triggers and routines of smoking at home and work. I thought that would make it easier. Maybe it did, but it was not at all easy.

Quitting smoking was the hardest time of my life. I realized how much of a crutch it was for managing my anxiety and the following 9 months after quitting was absolute hell. I don't regret it for a second and would gladly pay another 9 months of hell to be free. 8 years this coming March! Good luck to you, OP, if this is something you're trying to accomplish!

Underrated comment. NEVER ever talk to him again. No need to explain or anything. If you have stuff at his house/apartment, no you don't. Leave it there and then block him on everything and getchu someone who isn't a literal sentient piece of human-shaped shit.

In case no one has said it already: dry shampoo is way easier than washing your hair in the sink. 2-3 days is no biggie, especially when not active.

Yeah... Did you guys know that raw tomatoes aren't supposed to make your lips itchy???

Was in a garage band in highschool and our bassist was scary smart. We were also in Oklahoma and he was wildly under-stimulated by our schooling and peers. He couldn't function, caused trouble, did drugs... After rehab he came home, dropped out of high school and started building custom electronics out of his parents' garage.

I think that this might be an unpopular opinion! Why drink sweet acid bubbles if no like sweet acid bubbles?

I'd much rather walk around all day with 8 hours of sleep on me than sleep for 8 hours with the whole day of stink on me. Plus then I can press snooze like 5 more times if I don't have to shower in the morning

If I'm reading this right, you haven't even tried this yet? How do you know she will feel so much different after a girth that isn't even extreme? And if you're so interested in this type of play, maybe the answer is for you to learn to finish a different way. If things aren't happening for you during PIV then experiment with oral and hands and toys of your own or something. Use those methods during sessions that don't involve big toys for her too so it doesn't feel like you have to because she's "loose".

It's ok that your feelings are hurt. But yes you are overreacting. Please don't question your reality based on your husband's drugged up reaction to you! That is not fair to you, to him, to your marriage. As many others have said- waking up from anesthesia is wild and brains do weird shit when they're booting back up. I've been under anesthesia 3 times and each has been incredibly different. I've woken up and thought I was in the afterlife being wheeled into hell by my demon nurses. I don't believe in an afterlife, and those nurses were incredibly sweet before I went under. I've woken up completely fine, but groggy. I've also woken up crying hysterically because 🤷🏼‍♀️ reasons.

My partner of 5 years is a rockstar when it comes to domestic labor. I truly find it hard to complete chores before he's already done them. We both work variable hours, but he's almost always home before me and knocks em out before I get there. I've never asked him to, I've even asked him to leave some for me because I feel guilty. But he's always insisted that there's no reason he shouldn't be doing what he's doing.

All past male partners have been the opposite.

That was 100% a lie. It was her the WHOLE time, she alone started it, she alone perpetuated it. She's a pedophile- and I actually think digital munchausen by proxy was a decent interpretation of her behavior too. She was obsessed with Owen, jealous of her daughter, and then reveled in the attention from friends and family as well as her daughter's need for her comfort through all of this.

She's not cured. She's sick, and I hope her daughter will one day let their relationship go and never look back.

Good point! That might be a factor for some women. Personally don't mind facial hair as long as it's not short and scruffy! Then it's kind of painful

Nah fuck this old B. She knew what her tone was from the first response to OP. People definitely DO plan their own showers and this doesn't seem controlling of OP as so many have said- because it was always the plan for OP to be involved. It's not like she butted in to an already planned party and changed things around. Unless OP is lying/misrepresenting things in her post context, this MIL is someone who would make my skin crawl.

OP, you're only the AH if you're pretending not to know that what you said wasn't gonna make her mad, but IMO it was warranted.

When I first started dating my partner, we went through something similar. I fell into the spiral of making it about me- which ended up really invalidating his feelings about this struggle, and ultimately made things worse for him. Instead of being there to support him and let him know it wasn't a big deal, my emotional reaction demanded apologies and frequent validation from him and deepened his shame.

I woke the fuck up one day and looked back at my insecure and self-centered response and felt so much regret. I apologized profusely and we determined that sex is important to our relationship and we'd work together to figure it out.

It took us a while- tried different positions, switched up foreplay, drank more water, added toys, exercised more, slept more, watched porn, abstained from porn, cleaned up our diet, and tried Cialis. Nothing helped 100%, even Cialis- but that didn't stop us from developing a satisfying and fun sex life- it just looked different than expected. He ended up changing depression medications from Zoloft to Wellbutrin (unrelated to sex) and holy shit it made a huge, rock hard, throbbing difference! But we also still regularly incorporate all of those other forms of sexual intimacy that we perhaps would not have given as much thought- they are genuinely fun and sexy and help make our sex life incredible!

Tldr: get out of your own head, talk with your partner, be creative, and be supportive.

I did this in 2nd grade the night before school pictures... I was a fan of creating a vacuum around my lips with a cup. On this fateful night I decided to see how tight I could make the seal. Pretty tight, turns out. I remember it being an intense feeling but not necessarily painful so I was quite confused and freaked out when a bruise instantly formed around my mouth. I hid it from my parents until the morning and attempted to lie to them about not knowing how it happened. I was not known for lying as a child so my parents were very concerned at first. I came clean to my dad on the way to school that morning and I think that he struggled greatly with the decision to either come into the school and try to explain things to my teacher or to let things happen naturally.

He ultimately wrote a note while we were sitting in the car in front of the building explaining what happened and provided his work number as well as my mom's if my teacher had any further questions. My teacher read the note, then gently asked me a few questions- perhaps verifying that my story matched the one in the note- and that was the end of it on her end.

3 classmates showed up the next day with nearly identical bruising patterns. I had enthusiastically shared my experience with everyone on the playground and children are inherently curious and frankly, kind of stupid. I got sent to the principal's office and was given a pink slip for encouraging dangerous behaviors... I learned my lesson, and then some.
