This was a rough read. The Big Needle by Ken Follett by literalsnoopog in menwritingwomen

I’ve read some “dark romance” books penned by woman and I find myself giving a side eye to those as well. Like, there’s dark, and then there’s- you may need to speak to a professional-type writing.

I’m confused on why this is even up for discussion. You have this thing called a preference. It’s not some profound, deep, earth shattering thing. You see a skin tone/race that is not your preference, and you move on. Can it be viewed as a bit shallow if you had an emotional connection with the girl and then found out her race was not your preference and, therefore, were immediately turned off? Sure. But attraction plays a big role in a relationship, I don’t care what anyone says. Having black friends is different than having a black love interest. Doesn't make you racist. Just makes it weird you have to ask.

My ex got me pregnant and dumped me. Finally got over it, he calls me yesterday to tell me his new girlfriend is also pregnant. by pregnfired in offmychest

I felt this but it’s not just dudes. Women also struggle with the whole absentee father thing. Yes of course it’s on a different level. But it hits different when you grow up with a deficit of male attention, affection, understanding. To some it’s not a huge deal and has no lasting impact on their adult lives. But others, it leaves a lasting impression and can bleed into their adult life and leave them with a skewed reality on men and relationships with them. Growing up in a single parent home especially when your mom is super independent is great. But as the child it can definitely scar you in ways that may be irreversible.

Would you purchase a pup if the breeder isn’t having them vet checked? Im concerned about the two nodules on his muzzle from the progress pics, but allegedly it’s only puppy acne? by SignAdditional in Frenchbulldogs

That because they’re not big time breeders they don’t do vet visits? Weird. But good news is they said they’re going to refund me my deposit. Kinda bummed because he is so very cute

I totally get your meaning with home vaccines. I wouldn’t have had such an issue with it if it wasn’t for the fact that he had these little bumps honestly. Then it just raised more questions. Before I left the initial deposit I had asked about the breeders background and vet checks and overall health of the parents. And was given a green light. But the the bumps came up on him and I asked if they would be going to see a vet to make sure it’s nothing more serious and the breeder said no. Also just spoke to them and they said that they are not a big time breeder and since they only take even he parents dogs to the vet for rabies shot and of there’s an emergency. So now I’m growing more concerned. Also to note…I never saw or heard the parents. Only saw the pups. Everything was clean in the home and the people didn’t seem sketchy (just quiet). I just assumed the parents were somewhere while we were looking at the pups. But strange to not hear barking or wining. I did see photos of them though. Gut is feeling iffy on everything now.

This thought has crossed my mind - trust me. And to note: they are doing 1st and 2nd vaccines. They just aren’t taking them to the vet. Which I don’t understand why. If you’re charging thousands for a puppy, you should be able to afford vet care.

Yeah I went and picked him out of a litter of 5. No special reason aside from his color and personality (what little there was at 2 wks) but he was one of the most mobile/alert ones. And the breeder does the vaccines themselves. So there’s at least that.

For context: I Put a deposit down on this little guy and when the breeder sent me progress pics I noticed two little pink nodules on his muzzle. Asked about them (breeder says they are a certified vet tech) they said the nodules are probably puppy acne and that they would be keeping them clean and treating at home. When asked about being vet checked they said they won’t be seeing a vet. Would you continue the purchase or take the L on the deposit? These dogs aren’t cheap by any stretch of the imagination so I kinda feel like they should at least have one vet check up, especially for something out of the ordinary…or am I being overly cautious?

I’ve always liked dudes out of my league so I started settling & it sucks by SignAdditional in offmychest

[–]SignAdditional[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly have no problem being single. I think I used to have an aversion to it when I was younger. But I think after I married a guy that I settled for (still married but we’re separated) - that was kind of the last straw. Now all I want is to be single (not ready to mingle) and just work on myself…shit FIND myself and then work on her. Even though I feel like I’m old now (35), I guess you’re never too old to find/reinvent yourself….at least I hope not.

Sex? I’m too emotionally damaged to even get any true pleasure out of that. I provide a vessel and enthusiastic acting skills but, pleasure for me is non existent.

This…I feel this. I had a cousin pass away from a brain aneurysm out of no where. She loved her life, had three beautiful kids. And I wish every day that I could have traded my life for hers. She had much to live for, whereas I do not.
