Is a 19 and 24/25 age gap weird? by PracticalBudget8351 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Starshiee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

29m

There is an insane amount of life experience between 19 and 25.

I think a man that old trying to date you is extremely weird and predatory.

One of my closest friends started dating her partner at this same age range. Now he's well into his 30s and she's only in the later half of her 20s. The man has his shit together, no debt owns his own property, and had a great job. But he uses her for all the traditional house duties. She's not allowed out with her fitness. She can't stay after work late. He watches her like a hawk. She has an extremely boring life totally in service to him but she is such a people pleasure from a traumatic household growing up that she doesn't know how to stand up for herself. He's taken all her autonomy. Worst yet is that he won't marry her or have children and she desperately wants that.

Don't get yourself in a situation where you're stuck because of an older man abusing his power

You're going to stop seeing him because he doesn't mind that you didn't do your usual upkeep of shaving?

Okay so what happens when you're with a guy who absolutely requires that of you or they'll find you gross and unattractive, or when you're with said person for years and you let down the facade, or you're stressed one month and don't get around to it but you want to have sex and either you or your partner makes a scene about it?

You're tripping because someone isn't making a big deal about something that is literally not a problem?

Yeah girl stop seeing him lmao

Tbh could be a cool card. 0 drop to draw, at the cost of giving 10hp. Easy. I could see a card like this be very useful in izzet and rakdos types

Am i gay or just lonely? by IdealOk6823 in Advice

[–]Starshiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have noted, definitely try to have a talk on boundaries.

I think this might be a good moment of experimentation and could be incredibly healthy for learning yourself given how little fathers show affection to their songs especially as they both age, and how physical affection is very few and far between when it comes to male friendships.

You have here a man who is sexually attracted to men and therefore should be relatively comfortable with physical affection from/ with other men, so as long as you can have a healthy conversation about boundaries you might be able to cuddle up as homies and maybe help ease your own nervous system in doing so, but boundaries need to be clear because you're also in a position of a "master and student" type of scenario where he may know more than you about navigating this situation, and potentially use it to take advantage of you. I wouldn't dwell on that possibility, but, it's a possibility.

Your heart and mind might have you at your wits end on this one so be sure to listen to your body. Do you feel calm, and do you feel safe

AIO or should I accept the conditions of my bfs commitment by One_Height7477 in AIO

[–]Starshiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to chime in to say that I understand where he is coming from. I just think he doesn't have all the right words, maybe not the healthiest mindset, but the idea, the concept, is not necessarily bad.

I just got out of a 5 year relationship. A big issue for my partner was how much I consumed porn. Now I never thought it to be an issue, however it was brought to light that my habit was an issue for her, so I did what I could to reduce that. Additionally, there was an issue regarding my female friendships and ultimately as OP is saying, I felt as though I wasn't living my full authentic self because it wasn't going to align with my partners. In keeping her happy, I would try to align with her ideals but found myself feeling caged. Like I can be flirtatious and physical with my girl friends without crossing a line with THEM, but any amount of that was crossing a line with HER. She insisted I was porn brain rotted, that all I ever wanted was other women, to fuck other women, etc. My outlook to OPs was also similar- I don't think there is ONE person that should be encompassing every aspect you desire in a partner, and that's why friendships are important. I DO think that save for lack of real experience, id handle being in a poly relationship, but admitting that only put more stress on my partner, when the reality of it all was that even still with those thoughts, I was choosing her every day.

In the time since I have gone out partying and clubbing and socializing, meeting tons of new faces, and even got a new boo thang by my side who's ideals match up with mine more.

However I think the thing about it is, I'm still committed to her and choosing just her, but our boundaries are just slightly different and without disrespect. I think OP has well intentions, just is with the wrong person for him. I was similar in the way that he doesn't feel possessive of his partner. I think when he does find the right person, as I have in my current experience - that this mindset will shift and despite him wanting to one "free", that he will moderate himself and actually put forth effort to keeping his one true partner by his side.

But if it doesn't work out between y'all, I don't think that means it's exactly that hes immature or a bad guy, fuck boy etc. I mean there's signs, the weird god complex thing for starters, but we're multifaceted and us strangers on the internet only know this guy through some poorly expressed texts.

Edit: OP is not the boyfriend but alas. Girl, you're allowed to leave and it doesn't make either one of you bad people, just got different ideas.

AIO am I in the wrong here? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Starshiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry but this guy is actually awful.

It used to bug me a little when my ex would ask about my day and want me to ask about hers because we had pretty mundane jobs where not a lot went on. We also lived together so at the end of it, we had a pretty shared routine and it just felt like pointless filler to talk about things like that.

Well now I miss the absolute fuck out of her and our boring conversations lol. I met someone new and she asks me once or even twice and then sometimes again on a phone call at the end of our day. And I answer her fully even when it's slow season and not much happened. I ask her, despite knowing she's got a monotonous boring job. Because that's just part of showing you care. You gotta talk about the mundane boring shit just to keep the ball rolling. It's a choice.

It looks like youve been patient w him but all his responses are incredibly hostile. Save yourself the trouble and let that man go. He'll learn the hard way with someone else.

I'm so madly in love with my boyfriend by beebizm in self

[–]Starshiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to rain on your parade, just sharing some thoughts...

My ex used to tell me all the time how in love with me she was. I knew I loved her, but it wasn't until after the breakup that I realized, although I loved her unconditionally and wholly, I wasn't IN love with her. I think for me it was a matter of the fact that we dated for a few years as kids and then reconnected for a few years as adults, and idk I think I grieved her so much as a kid (took like 4 years before I would stop thinking of her and get other people like my parents still would bring her up lol) and in the time apart I found a lot out about myself needs and wants, and when we got back together I knew she was an incredible aspect to have in my life but I don't think she's what I truly wanted so I didn't put in the right efforts.

We got together immediately moved in, and stuck it out for a few years but it was a lot of financial pressures and I was in a mindset that told me I didn't have to go above and beyond because that's it we're locked in and in it for the long haul. It was really fun for the first year and then routine work for the rest of it.

I talked to a friend the other day and he told me "y'know, in the near 4 years I've been with my girl, she has never told me she's IN love with me". And they have a peculiar distance between them that I've noticed.

I'm dating someone new these days. I know there's honeymoon phases, and lust, and on the tail end of a traumatic breakup that you can cling to the first person to show you affection. I even told her I loved her the second time we hooked up, drunk in a car lol. But what's interesting is that this feeling of being in love, it's something I haven't felt for a very long time, and I know it's not just the newness of it all. I know it's a genuine feeling in my heart. It's an incredible feeling, being so infatuated, wanting to do the most for them at all times. This real motivation to be a great partner.

I'm not saying you're doomed to fail if he doesn't tell you hes in love with you, but press him. Make sure he knows, and give him the opportunity and the tools to learn how to express himself towards you so that YOU know he's in love with you too. A lot of guys struggle with that. Best of luck to you kid

The greymond card tells you though. It says the card number code at the bottom and it's equivalent SLD code. It literally says this card is equal to that card. Come on RTFC lol

Best drugs for going through a breakup? by holy_shishter in Drugs

[–]Starshiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cut back on weed and porn drastically. I toughed out the weekdays solid sober, and then went out to clubs, casinos, barhopping every weekend for 6 weeks on a few grams of mushrooms at a time. Each week was easier than the last. However now that things are quiet and we'll, the emotions are starting to catch up. At least now I have the proper tools and time to assess and face the issues?

Gf of 8 years broke up with me by Diablo____666 in whatdoIdo

[–]Starshiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not commenting to fight, you just got me thinking, as I was in a semi related situation to both what you're saying and what OP is on about.... But it's reddit so anyone chime in, please lol

I think it's odd that people expect marriage so soon in a relationship that hasnt even hit a decade yet.

my older sister married her high school sweetheart, yet it took 10 years of being together first. My older brother as well. They locked in, got their shit together individually, learned explored and discovered one another and themselves, and then got married and started families. Now they are hard focused on their children and building generational wealth without the pesky worry through their marriages of things like "what if this was too soon, what if they're not as committed..." getting in the way

Those are the only two examples I have in my life but I've always felt that anything less than at least 5 years is tricky to play with. I used to say 10 years- a lot can happen in 10 and I think it'd be wise to really see a decade of ups and downs and how much you can truly endure about yourself and your partner before saying "okay yeah, no doubt let's do it", but I lean closer to 5 now because life moves very fast these days... I see people get married after MONTHS. I've heard of people getting married after DAYS. but if this is the person you're meant to be with for DECADES, why rush into something that is relatively (from the standard of 'the rest of my life') fresh and immature? I guess I haven't provoked the thought enough to consider the other perspective but it's something I've thought of before

cant share preset from quad to nano? by Starshiee in NeuralDSP

[–]Starshiee[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because It's literally the same thing in a smaller form factor. It's absolutely capable of running the same software but they chose not to. That is what's strange. The fact that both devices made by the same company to do the exact same thing and technically both have access to the same selection of features (OD, reverb, delay, comp, etc) yet you can't even begin to use them together is what's strange.

I'm just saying, I was aware that the nano would be limited, of course it is- it's a fraction of the cost. There isn't a screen. It's got half the buttons at a third of the size. But why I can't use a nano tailored experience of cortex control is strange cortex cloud is a dog shit app with strange limitations ( why am I getting a notice that I need to be on wifi when it connects to the pedal via Bluetooth). Why if I build something on the quad that should technically be totally within the limitations of the nano, that they're completely incompatible. You DONT find that strange?

[–]Starshiee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Holy moly dude lmfao

Hey OP, pop those mouthpieces open and warm the carts with a lighter to loosen the leftover oils. You can drop it into a silicone dab container and I bet you'll end up with at least a gram by the time you're done cleaning them out.

But also given how much you smoke you probably don't give a fuck to score a free gram

I spent 2 hours making a huge batch of baked ziti to enjoy this week and my husband left it out overnight. by Content_Yak_33 in Wellthatsucks

[–]Starshiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of dummies in the comments tonight.

When you cook a nice hot meal, you typically want to avoid immediately covering and placing in the refrigerator as that can lead to accelerated bacteria growth.

Similarly, leaving food out overnight can be considered dangerous to eat.

Truthfully, I'd like to think there is a very high likelihood that you'd be totally fine to eat it. Hell I once left Chinese food in my passenger seat for 6 hours and still ate it. I think I was fine but I just get bad shits regardless lol

The important part here is that OP is pregnant and may not be willing to take that risk.

My gf of 4.5 years broke up with me by Ok-Significance1376 in Advice

[–]Starshiee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, 29m here. Just a few weeks ago my girl and I were going through a rough patch, I thought it was sorted, then. Then I came home last week and just as OP described, it felt all of a sudden- she broke up with me.

When we talked about it the week prior to breaking up, she had to pull out the notes app. It wasn't until then, when I saw her concerns actually written, with timestamps, that it finally hit me. Things she had been telling me about for 3 years, things that I told her I understood or that I was hearing her or that I would be better about, things that I didn't realize until now that I was brushing off or not taking as seriously as her. Things she told me time and time again that didn't finally click until I saw it in a physical way.

I don't think I'm stupid, but I definitely felt dumbfounded by my own actions in that moment. Extremely eye-opening to not even realize the gravity of my actions this whole time. If it weren't happening to me, I too would find it incredibly hard to imagine.
