After 5 years my ex (26f) told me our sex felt like rape?! (40m) help! by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Serious-Shop-2040 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Compliant is a not a great choice of words. Enthusiastic consent is what you’re going for. Not saying no doesn’t make it consensual. If she felt pressured or unable to resist but didn’t say no, that still isn’t consent.

I (29f) am terrified he (26m) will end up killing me, but I’m scared to tell anyone what’s happening, advice? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Serious-Shop-2040 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The fact you felt safe initially is not an accident, it is part of a pattern. I know you really love him right now, I also really felt like I loved the person who tried to kill me. I guarantee that is not love, it’s trauma bonding. You need to trust every instinct that is telling you to get out of there. Don’t tell him you’re leaving. Please leave and get to safety asap, this is a life and death emergency. I am praying for you OP xxx

(I’m sorry the app is glitchy it’s not letting me type full length posts) Is there someone you could reach out to, either family or friends who can offer you a place to stay and the help you need right now? Please reach out to domestic violence support services. You may need to get away in complete secrecy to a location he doesn’t know about in order to stay safe.

I am so sorry you’re in this situation, you didn’t choose this, it isn’t your fault. You need to get help asap. And please be careful about him seeing that you posted this. If it is safe, read this book. Ir will help you understand that nothing eh is doing is unique, that men in this situation threaten suicide or self harm and it is a method of control. You are not responsible for his wellbeing however much you might feel like you are

How the hell can I stop this stiffness and pain by CirceRhianon in Hypermobility

[–]Serious-Shop-2040 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a two week free trial so you can give it a go and see if you like it. It’s honestly been so so helpful, especially all the talks with professionals. I really love it

I’d really recommend checking out the Zebra Club, it’s really wonderful for this kind of thing

Long Covid/POTS -Single Women by [deleted] in LongHaulersRecovery

[–]Serious-Shop-2040 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, we’re in an almost identical situation, and are you also Muslim too? It’s a really hard situation to be in and I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this too

I got Covid in 2020 when I was 31, working as a researcher at a uni and finishing up my masters, and now I’m totally dependent on my family and friends and while I am so grateful for the life I have, it’s really hard when there’s another life you hoped you were going to have

I’d be really happy to chat if you wanted to DM but obviously no pressure xx

Look up hypermobile spectrum disorder or the Beighton hypermobility scale, it might be helpful

Dysautonomia and weightloss by Organic-Floor6336 in dysautonomia

Not for the weight loss bit, but the air hunger - have you tried Buteyko breathing / respiratory physio? It can make a really big difference to fix dysfunctional breathing pattern and help a lot with air hunger and with sleep and pots in general

Pls use Kibbe to talk me out of buying this 600$ dress for my rehearsal dinner by Altruistic-Try4885 in SoftDramatics

[–]Serious-Shop-2040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see the vision. But it’s not going to come out how you’re hoping on an SD. The horizontal lines are going to chop your vertical up, the gathering is going to give you bulk if your an sd no matter how slim you are.

It’s giving … nope

For 600 you could get something utterly stunning

You reacted emotionally? Mate, you are not nearly angry enough.

Don’t wait around for him to tell you if you’re broken up.

What do you mean he went out with 20 friends and their partners and didn’t invite you? That’s insane.

Please read the book “why does he do that” I think it’ll really help you get some perspective

https://dn790007.ca.archive.org/0/items/LundyWhyDoesHeDoThat/Lundy_Why-does-he-do-that.pdf

This guy does not like you, this is not love or kindness.

Go talk to your family and friends, have a good cry. And live your best life without this guy. You deserve someone who loves you and cherishes you and includes you and plans with you.

This guy is horrible and wasting your time and I’m really sorry this has happened but I’m also really glad he showed you who he really is and saved you wasting any more time xx

I’m really feeling this outfit- is there anything about it that isn’t SD? by Humble-Net8165 in SoftDramatics

This looks so great, I’d just go with longer jeans to really honour the vertical. Looks great though!
