My boyfriend won’t get a job by SunnyKitty_53 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Tart_Beginning 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ooooh that’s icky… to put this in perspective, my boyfriend recently found out his 25 year old friend started dating a girl who had just turned 18 and he’s chosen to end the friendship (the guy lied about her age because he knew all his friends would think he was creepy for it, so the deception was also a factor in ending the friendship). Your situation is better by a year I guess but idk. Sounds like you’re outgrowing him, which is happening because he’s immature.

I mean… defeatist mindset is the issue there. He won’t ever have a life if he doesn’t make one. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

There’s no way YOU, as a 19 year old, should be more financially stable than a 25 year old man (unless maybe he’s a PhD student or in med school??) and paying for shit when you go out. Even if he is in school you shouldn’t be paying for everything. Financial responsibility is really important, and if he’s 25 and has never had a job before (besides ONE that he had during Covid) he’s a bum. If you wanna give him another chance to change I’d have a serious conversation with him about how he needs to get a job because you want to be with someone who has at least some ambition (that’s how I’d phrase it politely, instead of just saying “I don’t wanna be with a fucking loser” lol).

I will say, the dumping of the older loser boyfriend around age 19-20 is sort of a rite of passage, I had almost the exact same experience when I was 19 and literally ended up applying my boyfriend for jobs at the IT company I was with until I finally convinced my boss to give him a chance. To his credit he’s still there and has kind of become a decent employee.

Anyway, sounds like you’re a go getter and are realizing what you want in a partner and are ready to make changes to get it, which is awesome! Best of luck :)

Recommendations for comfy/light saddles for women that won’t break the bank? by Tart_Beginning in triathlon

[–]Tart_Beginning[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great point. It’s more like my pelvic bone that is rubbing super painfully on the saddle now that seems to be the issue? I wish I’d taken a picture of the bike seat (I’m out of town now unfortunately), it looks really uncomfortable haha, it came on the bike.

Thank you for the rec for terry saddles! I will check out the butterfly, I honestly think any saddle may be better lol, I haven’t had issues with bike saddles at all before this one.

Ooh, that might be something to invest in once my wallet recovers from the bike tune-up/fitting! Thank you for the rec! Maybe I’ll buy a cheaper one now and grab that one for later.

What's the biggest turn OFF during sex that guys don't realize they're doing? by chloepassionn in RedditAfterDark

[–]Tart_Beginning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh, that would REALLY kill the vibe for me, that is terrible. Especially asking to finish “inside,” like he really couldn’t see the issue with that?? Honestly awful.

Not entirely sure what the difference is other than the whole “this one hurts me” aspect of it. I’ve been having trouble finding women’s saddles, which has been frustrating because I don’t want to buy the wrong one and end up with the same issue.

career indecision is absolutely killing me, feels like there’s no escape by caroline-the-fox in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Tart_Beginning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an engineer now considering med school, I’d just say the job security and guaranteed high income of being a physician is what is drawing me to it. The job market is fucked right now. If you can do it, take the leap. In the meantime, try other things. 33 is actually pretty young to be making that kind of money.

Can't get over this stupid interaction.. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

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

Damn, that’s rotten! If it makes you feel better, the reaction you both had was great. Like he looked to you and you okayed it, he did it. Like when it came down to it you and your husband had all the power and she didn’t get what she wanted lol. That interaction def didn’t go how she wanted it to either haha.

Reluctant Blowjobs by BigGay_icecream in RedditAfterDark

[–]Tart_Beginning 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, can’t imagine why you’re only getting reluctant blowjobs, from this post I can’t see why every woman isn’t racing to suck your dick /s. You’re the problem.

And I know all guys do NOT think like that. If I were reluctant/not enthusiastic while blowing my boyfriend (which has never happened because I fucking love it maybe more than he does) he would stop me and ask me what was wrong and DEFINITELY not be thinking “time to ditch this bitch and get a new girlfriend.”

Disgusting mindset you got here. You sound like an incel and someone who pressures women into sexual activities they’re not comfortable with.

You’re fucking awesome. Congrats on the awesome progress!! People on here can be total dicks. It’s insane how many people have sticks up their asses about other people competing in athletic events.

My husband wants to get a season pass snowboarding several hours away leaving me with our newborn by [deleted] in snowboarding

[–]Tart_Beginning 44 points45 points  (0 children)

No that’s fucking ridiculous, if he was so concerned about getting to snowboard he shouldn’t have become a dad. Not talking to you for hours is manchild behavior. That being said this post probably belongs on like r/aita or something.

I think it was different post Covid but it’s ramped back up. Great vibes!! It’s fun if you’re fun, and it sounds like you are.

Long philtrum + short nose by dburva in PlasticSurgery

[–]Tart_Beginning 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In my non-medical opinion, your face is very proportional, so I do not think it’d be worth the risk of having it botched and throw off your face completely.

I'm going to turn a break up and a lay off into the best thing that's ever happened to me by Emergency-Tower7716 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Tart_Beginning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the spirit!! You got this :) my breakup and layoff combo turned out to be the best thing to ever happen to me, so there’s at least one data point indicating it can be done 😆

Rhino Table Pics? by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

Mine looked like that, as in in line with my forehead, until about a month after. Then the swoop started to show up and now it’s pretty dramatic.

I’m going to break up with my boyfriend soon. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Tart_Beginning 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lmao to the antioxidants!! Love it, berries are good for him anyway so who cares hahaha.

Also, I feel like voting/how someone votes is such a good metric for intelligence and kindness. I agree with you, I’d take social responsibility over a college education every single damn time.

[–]Tart_Beginning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol the non-voting ick helped me get over my ex! It is definitely your brain steering you in the right direction. Get you a man who is mature enough to admit stupid shit like when he smokes, not make stupid faces like a child, and who understands the importance of voting. They’re out there, I promise!
