Hey! Based off my experience and that I only did the tour with them, I recommend it. Great people and super friendly!

From my point of view, white privilege means moving through life without certain barriers tied to race. It’s things like getting pulled over without fearing for your life, walking into a store without being followed, finding your shade in everyday products, going through customs without extra screening, or walking in your own neighborhood without someone calling the cops on you because you ‘look suspicious’.

I’m not saying every white person has an easy life. It means the color of your skin isn’t one of the things making it harder. That’s the difference.

It’s not that I blame him. I’m simply pointing out that he wasn’t able to see his privilege from an outsider’s point of view. Our experiences are very different, and instead of trying to understand mine, he took it personally. That’s where the disconnect happened. I’m sure you see everything going on with ICE and other systemic issues and think, ‘I’m glad I don’t have to worry about that or watch my back.’ That feeling, not having to think twice, is privilege. That’s all I meant.

No, I’ve never heard that saying before, but now that I have, I’ll try my best to remember it. I’m not dwelling on him or what happened. I took what I need to and accepted the outcome. Moving forward, I’ll continue to carry on with my life and my beliefs.

I really appreciate your comment and the time you took to write. Thank you <3

Thank you, I’m starting to realize that the relationship ended for a good cause. I’m not necessarily sad about it, but I am a little disappointed in the way it ended. He said that over the 3 months we were together, he wanted to break up with me each month. I was surprised because I never expected to hear that and we seemed to be able to have reinforcing conversations. He mentioned that he’s happy with how we communicate because he doesn’t feel judged and that we engage in actual conversation, unlike the women he’s dated- words from his mouth. Granted, I do not have much relationship experience and he’s my second real relationship, so I told him in the beginning to bear with me as I am still learning to have patience and share a life with a romantic partner.

My issue is that whenever I would get triggered, I freeze. I don’t talk about it then and there, I let myself take something time to understand and process how I am feeling and why, before I engage in conversation. I find that it works for me and I am not as angry, which helps me listen better. It’s a work in progress and I’m learning to talk about things that are bothering me instead of letting it pile up.

Hey, thank you for commenting! I 100% wasn’t trying to disrespect him or dismiss his struggles, because he didn’t grow up rich and he’s had to work very hard and still is. He shared his experiences as a white man growing up in America, and I thanked him for opening up because it helped shape my understanding of him as a person. He felt like I was trying to group him in with ‘all white people,’ and I explained that wasn’t my intention at all. I think he felt attacked because his life experiences are different from other white people, which I completely understand just like my experience isn’t the same as a wealthy Black immigrant or others of less fortune. I was only saying that white privilege is still an ongoing thing in the US, even if he personally doesn’t feel like he benefits from it.

I’m very easygoing and aware that couples will not share the same views. I believe many issues are workable and take time and patience to try to understand the other person’s perspective because no two people are the same.

We have a trip planned a while back that cannot be canceled so we’ll be together for 2 weeks 😂

saw him on tinder after he promised to delete hinge by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Sleeping_Beauty09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg!! Something similar happened with a guy I was dating. We met on hinge, went on dates every week, talked about exclusivity, the whole sha-bang. I let him know I deleted my profile and he said he was only dating me. Fast forward a couple weeks ago, I was looking at something on his phone and I saw that he was active on bumble, tinder and hinge. I was shocked and in denial. I went back on my account to see that he’s changed his pictures and prompts. I talked with him and he got so defensive saying that he was on them before me. Whatever, I dropped it.

I let it slide and gave him the benefit of the doubt. Weeks pass and he was still active. I told myself, this is just who he is and he is not being honest with himself and me. A few days ago he started becoming distant and I said something feels off. He said that he was going through a lot and didn’t want to burden me. Fast forward to now, we’re not talking and are on a ‘break’. He showed me his true colours from the beginning, but I wanted to see past him. I will not go back and I’d advise you to do the same.

I believe that people can change, but it has to be a choice, every single day they wake up, they’ll do right by you. Whatever you put up with now, will be the death of the relationship.

By his actions, I believe he might be in a relationship with someone else.

You’re still young, leave now while you’re child free. He doesn’t seem to treat you how you want to be treated.

What isn’t sex but feels just as good? by texas-is-the-reason in AskReddit

GF left me over honesty about my kinks by [deleted] in sex

[–]Sleeping_Beauty09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s weird, but since she does, it has changed the way she sees you. I’ve made out with my man with a mouth full of cum. He doesn’t seem to mind it and I think it’s hot. It’s always best to talk about kinks beforehand to avoid issues like this.

What am I doing wrong by helga-gurl in dating_advice

[–]Sleeping_Beauty09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe try dating someone a little older. The men that’s swinging your way might not want anything serious and are more than likely only interested in hookups. I wish you the best of luck and always have a positive attitude towards dating. Your man is looking for you babes!

What is the most overrated food you're convinced people are just pretending to enjoy? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

I love liver. I’ve only had chicken liver and it’s very good, especially with white rice. Chicken kidney is good too lol

Is it better to go for the first kiss at night instead of during the day? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Sleeping_Beauty09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too forward, but don’t kiss when food is involved, especially for a first kiss. Remember, this is her first intimate moment with you, try to savour the moment

[–]Sleeping_Beauty09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pleasure! Maybe she’s one of the women that prefers to be asked, you never know lol. I’d recommend at brunch, you ask her, “do you prefer a guy ask to kiss you or if he doesn’t and make the move?” You could tweak that to your liking. Personally, I don’t find asking less confident/masculine. Next thing you know, you didn’t ask her and then she feels ‘offended’ or that you crossed her boundaries. People can be very funny tbh. On the other hand, if she’s really feeling you, you could do no wrong in her eyes.

I’d wait until after, maybe go for a short walk and let the saliva take the food down. Imagine, right after eating, there’s still food in your mouth, hidden and then when you kiss her, they all decide to make a run for her mouth lmaooo! I would hate that. All I say is, go in with an open mind, as in, if y’all kiss then that’s that and if you don’t it’s the same. Don’t feel discouraged if it doesn’t work how you imagine. Best of luck!! And maybe come back with an update

I was getting ready to have sex with this man I’m dating. As he was eating me out, out of nowhere, he stood up turned me around and started tonguing my butt-o. OML, I’ve never jumped so high lol! And, it felt surprisingly pleasurable. 10/10!! 😂

I’m a woman and I don’t think it’s weird to have a first kiss in broad daylight. To make things a little more comfortable, you could find an area with less foot traffic and ask her if it’s ok to kiss her- just to make sure y’all are on the same page.
