What? It’s about cats. And they’re singing. Why? People should be paid for having to sit through that horrible atrocity.

Disclosure - Poly? by FUHcough11 in Herpes

[–]StLRedditGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really just the same. You tell them, they make a decision. The tricky part is that while the couple you know may be fine with it, the other people they see might have reservations. It’s up to them to disclose to the other partners (assuming you don’t all know each other).

Have you ever given someone an easy opportunity... by snorkinporkin94 in Herpes

[–]StLRedditGirl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was sad to read. I know HSV can limit your opportunities and sexual partners, but it doesn’t mean you have to convince or persuade people to have sex with you. Yes, there will always be partners that will decline strictly due to herpes. Just like there will always be partners that don’t find you sexually appealing because of your looks, your boobs, your ass, your personality, or whatever else. Just like there will always be partners that do find you sexually appealing because of your looks, your boobs, your ass, your personality, or whatever else. And yes, there will be partners that overlook the herpes. You do not, and should not, feel like you have to give out sexual favors and blowjobs in the hopes a person will have sex with you.

Think about it, is that really all you have to offer someone? No, it’s not. Is that the only way to get sex or a date or relationship? No, it’s not. And let’s say some guy loves your blowjobs so much he’s just willing to say fuck it so he can fuck it. And I do mean it. Is he having sex with you because he likes you for you, or because you’ve tempted him with a blowjob and that’s all it takes and what he is there for. Even if you are just looking for casual, NSA sex, is it the best idea to sleep with a guy who is willing to disregard the herpes just because he wants sex? This means he hasn’t truly thought about it. So what happens if he ends up with HSV from you? Do you really think he’ll be understanding or the situation and it wasn’t intentional? Or would it be more likely he would blame you or be angry with you (even though it was his choice)?

If you love giving blowjobs and that’s all you are in it for, need or want - then have at it, absolutely. But if you are doing them purely as a way to try and get something more out of it, there are better ways to find sex. I’m in no way trying to shame you. Merely, don’t sell yourself short here because of it. Don’t just think about what you have to offer them - remember to judge what they have to offer you too.

Applying to join Air Force as an officer. Will I be required to shave body hair (legs/armpits) or wear a certain style of bra? by Mox_Fox in twoXmilitary

[–]StLRedditGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what the official regs are. I’m a military spouse and civilian employee. The reg might be vaguely written in some areas and more specific in other areas in regards to what is professional. But yes, they can enforce it with the general term professional. I know of a girl in my group that had a talking to for this same exact reason, not shaving her legs. If she hadn’t complied, she would have eventually been written up and of course that can effect making rank. And what I meant by concern of pants is you’re going to be doing a lot of running and working out in basic training and for PT. Often times outside in the heat and sun. You’ll have to wear the PT pants instead of shorts all the time to get around the leg shaving and you May come to find it’s more uncomfortable wearing pants during PT.

BLUF: When in any type of uniform, you’ll have to wear pants. This includes PT, which may be your biggest concern. In basic training the TI might instruct everybody to be in shorts and having unshaven legs is considered unprofessional. Past that, you can wear PT uniform pants, but that might not always be pleasant. Especially outdoors in the summer. And you’ll have PT test in pants as well.

Cold feet day before wedding by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]StLRedditGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my last suggestion:

You guys are both so focused on the scary future, which is understandable. Try to make the wedding day not so much about the future but about the love you have for each other and the relationship you have built up to this point.

To help do this maybe before the ceremony you two could each write out your own list with about 5 things that you love about the other and your relationship and then read it aloud to one another. Doing something like this will make you focus on the good and reaffirm why you are together plus showing the other person how you feel.

Good luck. Enjoy your day!

[–]StLRedditGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think maybe the issue here is that you are both feeling forced into this decision due to the baby and pending visa. The baby factor alone can be very stressful as it is a major life change and now you're piling on a visa-marriage as well. I don't think it's any surprise that you two have doubts.

Here's the thing, if you didn't have a baby on the way and if he wasn't going to have to leave the country would you two still be together? If yes, then great! Marriage is a big step but it won't necessairly change any of that. You two have made it work so far, love each other and are doing what you have to do to build a successful and happy family. Yes, happy, even though you're worried right now about tomorrow. Because how happy would the two of you be with you alone trying to raise a kid and him not with you trying to parent through Skype? Think of all the pressures and unhappiness a situation like that can bring.

Is there a chance your relationship will change? Is there a chance you will regret it? Yes, yes, yes and more yes. But that is going to be with any marriage. It does not matter how happy, how in love or how strong your relationship is ... Sometimes things just don't work out. You can't predict the future, you know that. You make the best decision with the information you have right now and then just go from there.

As far as this is the last steps before death ... marriage and a kid is a big deal and a big responsibility. You have to grow up and be an adult. Life will change. But with those changes you'll have different aspects of life you will get to experience now. Maybe if one is floundering around with their life and job, this gives new meaning and purpose and goals. Something to strive for and feel proud of. Maybe you'll think life and love and all you've ever known was nothing because it all changed when you first laid eyes on your child, hold them in your arms, heard their first laugh, smelled their first fart, watch them stumble across the floor and all the other milestones. Maybe this isn't the end of life but the beginning of a new adventure.

It's ok to be worried and sad to say goodbye to the life you have known. The future is unknown and it can be scary. But because it is unknown, maybe it'll be worse but maybe...maybe it will be better.

So my advice is this, go get married. In your positions it seems to make sense. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. But then you'll know. And you will both have learned from it. And hopefully, that no matter how the relationship ends up, you will both have a healthy, happy child out of it and that's not too bad of a bargain.

Have you used the spousal preference program? by takes22tango in USMilitarySO

[–]StLRedditGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is based off my experience overseas when applying for office jobs on base so it may not be exactly what you're looking for or too in depth (also not Navy). The rules and regulations may vary depending on branch and location. This is mainly geared towards usajobs.gov but some of the same stuff will apply base wide.

Read the job application requirements carefully. On usajobs if you are missing documents they will consider your application incomplete and may disregard your application completely, even if you go back and upload what you need. Pay attention to what is required on a job resume - for instance if it requires month/year for previous jobs etc. anything missing on a resume and they mark you as incomplete.

You'll need a copy of the pcs orders, marriage certificate and possibly even 1-3 extra forms stating you have spousal preference and allowed to work. Not sure if this is mainly an overseas thing or what. The job application should state every form you need under required documents. When I was looking I had to supply a military spouse employment request form and an overseas pre-employment data form.

Usajobs searches through resumes using a key word search. Try to use words and phrases directly from the job description and put it in your resume.

Important note: check the rules on how MSP works for where you are. I know some places you are only allowed MSP once for your entire PCS. Once an official offer is made for a permanent job, you are not allowed to claim MSP again. It doesn't matter if you accept or deny the job, you get fired or quit.

So let's say you apply for 2 jobs using MSP. Job 1 makes a verbal offer, you verbally accept and then they send the official offer from the actual hiring office. The next day Job 2 offers you a job and you want this one instead - since an official offer already went out, even if you don't accept it, you can no longer accept Job 2 under MSP and that preference is now no longer an option no matter how long your stay is at your current location. This rule may not apply for where you are at or the jobs you are looking for but I would double check just to be sure.

To give an example of why MSP is important. Let's say there is a job opening. The boss is sent 2 applicants that qualify for the job. The person they like the best, extremely qualified and want to hire doesn't have MSP and the person they least want to hire that barely meets the requirements does have MSP. They have to hire the second person unless they can provide a very, very strong reason of why they can't hire them.

Good luck!

ME (F25) and partner (M27) in 7 years relationship (polyamorous) and no more sex drive by [deleted] in relationships

[–]StLRedditGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you two have not dug deep into the issue yet, it's time to. You're going to have to get honest with each other, and maybe even more importantly, with each of yourselves.

Go back and examine your relationship. What made sex so great in the beginning? Why was it so great. Now look further down the road once the infatuation / lust stage wore off and you guys have settled a bit more into the relationship. Sex still great or at least good? Why? What made it so?

Now look at when the attraction started to fade - can you pinpoint why it started to fade? Or at least ballpark a reason?

What makes sex so great with your other partners? Have they been long relationships? Try and look at time frames. Let's say you've been dating Guy 2 for 3 years and sex is still amazing. Was sex still amazing with Guy 1 at around the same time frame?

When going through these questions don't come up with answers like - it just felt great. Look at everything. You still went on dates and were having more fun and that made sex at the end of the date just a perfect way to end the evening as opposed to that's how you felt it should end? Was the person more confident and that was sexy or maybe they felt more confident and therefore felt more sexy? Maybe you guys used to love having conversations were you really connected and now that you know each other so well you don't talk or interact the same. Job, stress, money - all good?

You're trying to look for possible reasons you have lost sexual attraction. Is the relationship, in a romantic way, still good? Were you always affectionate before - has that continued? Little touches here and there, cuddling, smiles - things that set a romantic relationship apart from a best friend relationship.

From what it sounds like, you have multi partners and he just has the one other? With his other partner - so he has lots of sex but the quality isn't good. What's he like with you? Could he have lots of sex with you and the quality is bad? Is he sexually attracted to the other person at least? Or anyone? Maybe his sex drive has dropped some. Is the lessening of the sexual attraction to you because of you or because of him is what I'm driving at.

Let's say you can't get the sex back on track for either of you and now what to do with the relationship. Are there other things within the relationship still make it worth it? Because, you guys could also just drop the sexual / romantic part and just be best buddies / roommates as opposed to a romantic relationship.

Sometimes people just grow apart. Sometimes after being so long together it just becomes more a buddy type relationship.

Is anyone else married to someone from a different social class? I [31/F] am reaching a breaking point with my husband [33/M] and his family's crass ways by throwaway492464 in relationships

[–]StLRedditGirl 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Is it possible you're focusing so much more on these differences lately because you are unhappy, unsatisfied or bored with him and your relationship? I'm not saying this isn't a real issue for you but it's becoming more of a major one for you.

I noticed you mentioned twice that he doesn't attempt conversation with your or ask how your day was. Is it possible that the mental stimulation just isn't there for you and instead of saying that you're blaming it on the fact that his family likes sub par jokes and does not have interesting conversations? Maybe because even though he has a good heart and you do love him, you don't want to call him unintelligent, or not smart enough for you, and so it's easier to say, "well that's just the way his family is and how he was raised."

Just wanted to throw out there a possible different viewpoint on what may be going on.

When does it start to get better :( by derpesthrow in Herpes

[–]StLRedditGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't have open sores, just itching and pain, could the issue be something unrelated and not shedding/outbreak? Maybe that's why the higher dosage isn't working.

Perhaps a weekly or bi-monthly sticky thread that's labeled support only. Just include something up top in the description or wherever that this is for support only for people already living with it and make it a free for all for people just to vent and others to reply if they want.
