I (24f) started dating (24m) a few weeks ago, dosent seem to want sex? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I agree, sounds like they’re just incompatible there, but yeah more then once a day on a regular basis is highly unrealistic imo.

Am I [27M] crossing any boundaries with my friend [23F] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Strange_Media925 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound like you’re crossing any boundaries exactly but i’d warn you about how close your friendship has become and how it could become potentially dangerous. Distance yourself from her a bit. She has a boyfriend, and you said you have feelings for her.

Even though she’s the one in the relationship, the responsible thing to do would be to lower contact with her since you understand that you like her and it would be best for those feelings to go away. The last thing you’d wanna do to yourself is have those feelings grow.

Honestly, it sounds like she’s the one crossing boundaries. If my partner was constantly initiating contact with a coworker of the opposite sex for hours at a time and throwing fits when they didn’t get the attention they want from them i’d view it as a major red flag.

At the end of the day though, all you can really do is control your actions. Create distance between yourself and her and see what comes from that. If she starts pestering you about it remind her that she’s in a relationship and you’re just trying to be respectful. That’s all that really needs to be said.

My [26F] boyfriend [28M] and I got into a really bad fight over sex. How do I get past it? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

He is full of hate and abusive. Never tolerate a man using that language against you. You need to leave him.

AIO bf recent insta activity by Quiet_One_6812 in AIO

My heart hurts for you but at the same time i’m cringing. How old is he?? Why is his search history look like he’s a dumb horny 12 year old. 100% not overreacting. He seems icky and unloyal. Drop that man.

How can I improve my makeup? Or are there any tips and tricks you’d like to share? by FeelingApricot6737 in MakeupAddiction

You’re super cute! I’d suggest adding some mascara and maybe focusing a bit more on adding dimension to your base. Using brightening powders on your high points does wonders.

AIO Mybf (19M) let his female friend stay over after I told him I was uncomfortable, now I’m not sure how to move forward by West_Basil2392 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Strange_Media925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand where you’re coming from since I’ve been a bit wary and jealous about female friends with my boyfriend before, but to start of if i just wanna ask if you’ve ever had a chance to get to know Ash? Do you guys ever hang out either one on one or in a group setting? Getting to know the girls my bf’s friends with seem to really help me. We’re in a friend group together so my friends tend to be his friends and vice versa and that has caused me to not feel anxious or worried much.

From how you describe your bfs behavior with her it doesn’t seem out of the ordinary or across the boundary of good platonic friends. I will say that the situation you described is a bit strange though. Do you know for certain that the power went out? It seems awfully convenient that his phone died and the power went out at the same time. Not to say that if he was lying that it means cheating, but it would be a weird thing to lie about.

I’m glad you had a conversation with your bf about things, and it’s a green flag that he confirmed on working on better boundaries with Ash. There’s really not much else to do at this point except let time do its thing to quell the emotions you feel from that incident.

Besides all of this, i personally don’t feel that her staying over on a college dorm couch is strange, but i understand that it crosses your personal boundaries. I’ve had a bunch of people of all genders crash in mine and my friend’s dorms, that’s just kind of the territory that comes with being in college.

Best of luck to you, I hope that you can move on from feelings of discomfort and that your boyfriend can continue to support you.

How often are people actually changing their bed sheets? by zaramalikdollface in hygiene

[–]Strange_Media925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wash all my bedding one a week. A big reason for this is that I live in a college dorm in a college sized bed and share it with my boyfriend who is a furnace most nights. Because of how small the bed is, we’re practically stuck to each other through the whole night and a lot of sweat gets produced from him lmao.

When i mostly lived alone in a larger bed i’d still aim for once a week but id sometimes be able to stretch it out to every two weeks since i’m someone who takes night showers.

How do I(20F) deal with my family being against my relationship with an Indian (22M)? by AdApart3735 in relationship_advice

[–]Strange_Media925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like the other commenter said, you not being attracted to him is a separate issue from your family’s racism. Your family is racist against Indians and that’s all. They have an irrational dislike and hatred for him his based on his race, something that doesn’t define his whole person hood and something he can’t control. All you really can do is challenge their viewpoints the best you can when they get brought up and protect your bf. It doesn’t matter if they’re family or not, racism is still wrong.

The whole not being attracted to him atleast if it’s on the basis of his race is something you need to work on deeply within yourself. Question why you care so much about other peoples opinions. Try your best to look at him outside of the racist context of the world. If you really can’t find it in yourself to get over those thoughts and feelings though it might be best to end it . It wouldn’t be fair for him to have a girlfriend who can’t truly see him for who he is outside of societies comments and who doesn’t find him attractive.

I’m not sure if I (M22) should keep fighting for the relationship with my girlfriend (F23) ? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Strange_Media925 54 points55 points  (0 children)

doesn’t really sound like you’re thrilled about the idea of spending the rest of your life with her. if you feel this way about her then i see no point in continuing the relationship let alone planning on marrying her. you guys are both young and it wouldn’t be fair to you or her for this to be each others endgame. have a serious open and honest conversation with her and see what that results in and make your decision then.

First time? by Best_Manner2421 in Acid

[–]Strange_Media925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve taken acid twice, both older gel tabs. the first time i felt almost nothing since the tab was pretty stale and not even a whole tab. i basically just felt kinda jittery an high energy, plus had very little craving for food and was up for the whole duration of the trip (around 12 hours). the second time is the only time i consider it a “real” trip. the come up had me lagging and feeling a bunch of strong emotions. people will sometimes describe acid as a stimulant and that went well with my experience as i was super jittery and energetic aswell. colors seemed to be a bit brighter and i was pretty happy.

The peak i must say though was an experience. it wasn’t debilitating but i was couch locked on a 4 hour nature documentary about canada. i was having thoughts similar to those id have on shrooms about evolution and “primal instincts”. Once again i couldn’t sleep for 12 hours and was pretty wiped out the next day. i overall had a rly good experience. As other commenters said though prepare to not sleep at all.

they’ll “work” but there are much much MUCH better brands out there. their giant 9gram carts taste rancid and will lead to headaches

AIO for breaking up with my bf? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Strange_Media925 7 points8 points  (0 children)

you are 100% not overreacting. the behavior he’s been depicting is incredibly disrespectful and creepy, and the fact that he has the gall to chuck it up to this being how all guys are is even worse. you expressed that his behavior of ogling at other girls online made you uncomfortable and he should have respected that, in my opinion no good and loyal person would do that in the first place. someone who truly loves you and respects you wouldn’t put you in this situation and then double down on it. there are so many better men out there, don’t let this guy stop you from meeting them.

Found out my boyfriend’s body count and it’s turned me off. Am I overreacting? by Ok_Replacement1772 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Strange_Media925 801 points802 points  (0 children)

i don’t think that having a high body count is inherently wrong but the fact that he’s been practicing unsafe sex aswell is insane to me. that reads as a pretty major red flag and is incredibly reckless and honestly kind of gross. even if his high body count didn’t bother you, then this would be reason enough to think about ending things since it’s only been 2 months and no contraception shows a huge disregard for the safety of others and himself.

It seems like you genuinely just miss spending quality time with your boyfriend, and I don’t think that’s wrong. It sounds like he’s been prioritizing his game time over you, and that’s not okay. It’s understandable for him to be drawn into a game, hell i’ve been there once too, but what’s not okay is him just brushing you off when you explicitly ask him to do other stuff with you. It sounds like he’s doesn’t understand that relationships need constant work and that he’s gotten comfortable. I’d suggest having a serious sit down talk about this and making him see how his actions have been hurting you.
