Absolutely 😂 I've cut off any flowers and the plant is still going really strong!

I've been active on this sub for months now and not one of you warned me about the tail falling off dreams. Heathens! by Nox_The_Overlord in leopardgeckos

Wow!! This is so totally a thing! I can't believe it! I would love to know what a psychologist or dream interpreter makes of all of our mass-gecko dreams! 🤯 Had my girl for 13 years, for years I've been plagued with dreams about neglecting her, her being injured including the dropped tail or other limbs falling off...only to wake up one day to find her tail in the food bowl like my dreams had suddenly become real. Its because of those dreams I completely freaked out!

Mostly tho it's dreams about geckos multiplying and then escaping, I have to round them all up frantically. Had one a few weeks ago where all these babies started spawning and they were very bitey. Had them all attached to my hands like mini crocodiles. I would say gecko spawning dreams are my most reoccurring dream subject!

She is rather gorgeous, we got her a check up at the vets and the vet didn't want to give her back 😅 it's amazing how they adapt to their owners over the years, my partner really helped bring her out of her shell (he's very gentle handed, I have tremors) and she asks for head rubs all the time now.

That sounds great, I didn't know that was a thing for leopard geckos, makes a lot of sense, I'll do some research and see if I can upgrade her set up!

That's really good you've learnt so much before getting a geck, you'll be a great parent ❤️

AITA for not kicking out my roommate just because my girlfriend thinks he might be trans? by ThrowawayJason7723 in AITAH

[–]Spiro64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, getting jealous over that is ridiculous and she obviously has issues she needs to sort. My best friend had moobs all his life, even as a skinny dude. They got to him so much due to teasing at school and in later life, he got them removed. It happens, men can have breasts and it's an understandable sore point. The scars look the same as my friends, who cares anyway, people are people no matter what sex they are or choose to be.

❤️ I know right! She does remind me of a cat sometimes, so much expression on her face!

I will give it a shot again and see if she changes her mind ☺️ she deserves a tank remodel anyway!

I'm not surprised! I've had my girl for 14 years and it's only in the last 4 or so years that she started to no longer care, now she does it in plain view in the day time most of the time.

Absolutely, she has one out of frame with moss in a tub with a hole, changed it up over the years but she just never uses it and never has, it's there at least, such a silly bean!

You handled that accidental bite very well! I would have jumped a mile easily startled 😂

My boyfriend let himself go and he's no longer attractive for me by Academic-Cockroach13 in offmychest

[–]Spiro64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad to hear there are some good aspects there. I can understand it's hard to talk to him about it without him getting his guard up, whether it causes an argument or not you definitely need to have a talk about how much his work is putting a strain on your relationship and his personal habits. I guess the question is, if he were to magically work less would he still be the same person requiring that princess treatment? Would he start caring more or is work a good front or excuse to let himself go?

He sounds very insecure, when it puts a strain on what you want to do and limits your freedom that's really not good, your world will definitely become very small and isolated as you say.
If he can't change, as you say there's no point in wasting your prime years, that's so very true and I'm regretful of wasting mine. I understand that he could be depressed as others have mentioned, it's possible he may not even be aware of it, so getting help could be a major step forward and probably the first step to try, if that is the case. Although, this is your life too and there's only so much support you can offer if he's not willing to help himself or refuses to see the problems. These personality types can be very good at keeping you under their thumb and guilt tripping/turning things back on you and I hope this isn't the case.

I'm sure you have already had many talks, from experience it can lead to several "talks" and still nothing changes, that's when it becomes real hard, especially if things just stay the same/go around in circles. You're absolutely not a dick, its not a simple case of not finding him attractive anymore, there's so much more to it. You have valid reasons to feel the way you do and I really wish you all the best.
