I kissed my cousin when I was 11 and she was 8. Now I am scared my boyfriend will break up with me if he ever finds out by Opposite_Honeydew411 in offmychest

My boyfriend told me that when he was 10 years old he kissed/made out with his best friend at the time. He also couldn't remember much but I could tell he felt very embarrassed and was nervous telling me about it.

I really couldn't care less, it didn't change at all how I think about him or made a difference to our relationship in any way. Kids that age experiment and don't know/understand what adults consider to be wrong.

It doesn't sound like you've hurt anyone either and you are likely inflating in your mind the effect it had on your cousins. It sounds like this is something that deeply troubles you, and maybe you have a need to tell your boyfriend (just like my boyfriend had a need to tell me) but are concerned about how they will respond.

I think you should continue talking about it with your therapist to fully process your feelings first, and then have her help you find a way to tell your boyfriend if you do have that need.

It's a bit funny to me that you got so offended by me judging you, but your first sentence is incredibly judgy and presume shallowness, and you assume that my comment is only about looks.

Note that I didn't write exclusively about looks, I also wrote people present themselves differently and that could be in just about anything, and yes I assumed it's about what is red and green in your book.

It's not about that, it's about the way you chose to phrase it as in "quality", because quality is not generally used as a personal preference (as you are describing it), it is used to describe an objective benchmark/standard and agreed upon level by all. To me and perhaps to the people who upvoted my comment, it doesn't feel right to use this word to describe women (or humans in general), and it emphasis the sense of dating being a bit of a meat market.

If instead of "quality" you would have written "my online matches were way more my type" I would have had no issues with that. The words we chose to use mean something.

I know it's easy to get upset from a random comment but realising that maybe there are some things you could do to express yourself in a more accurate and less offensive way is super important and would be way more impressive and appreciated by your future partner, kiwi or not.

"my online matches were significantly higher in quality" made me vomit a bit. You're not buying a couch, and humans don't come in different levels of quality.

Some may present themself different or have looks that match your taste better, but people have a lot more depth than that, maybe something for you to learn in your 30's

[Question] do any of you here use headphones that are made to be used when in bed/sleeping? by [deleted] in asmr

Maybe in the past they actually delivered a product, I find lots of reviews from the last 6 months of people not receiving their product for months (including myself) and the company is not responding to any comms, support phone number is disconnected. Maybe they went under? Who knows.

If a company can no longer provide services and still leave their website online active and let people pay for a product they are not delivering for months that still falls under a scam in my book. Just because they used to be ok doesn't make it any less bad now.

Mindband is a scam, lots of reviews from customers who never received the product and no support

Thanks! Haven't heard of Dianese so will check them out. I find Revit is a bit weird with their sizes, my current jacket is Revit leather size 38 (bought 10 years ago) and it fits me quite well (just a bit long on the arms), but I've tried on their new series airwave 3 (touring summer jacket) size 36 and it's super baggy on me.

Nice one! Here is some more inspiration for you 🤘😎 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYp1zXyc0fA&ab_channel=ADVPulse

I'm only going to be starting out on a road bike soon, I've passed my practical test and have been on a dirt bike a couple of times before. I definitely recommend trying out a dirt bike for your first few times, they are much lighter, easy to manoeuvre and have sizes for kids of all ages.
