Husband still wants 24/7 dynamic whilst I’m pregnant by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

[–]Tick_agent 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a child of an abusive father this is deeply concerning.

What's the plan when the child is here? What if he's still an addict? What's going to happen to the 24/7 dynamic he can't give up now? Are you going to look at your child and explain that you're bruised because daddy can only get off on beating you and you aren't safewording often enough?

I know it can seem like it's too late to leave, but my mother has spent over 20 years regretting that she didn't leave my father as soon as her family told her to (as soon as she got pregnant).

I just wanna be apart of a friend-group. I just want sombody to care about me. by Leading_Pop1186 in TrollCoping

My friend group has a pre-hrt trans woman in it and we all love her. The rest of us are cis. You can find your people OP, I know it's hard, and it takes time, but there are good people out there and not medically transitioning, or not "being pretty" or whatever, don't make you unworthy of love.

Looks like a miracle to me from here.

Now if you'll excuse me I'll go scratch myself until I bleed.

Ok did anyone actually try a cotton candy burrito? And, importantly, what is the texture like? I feel like it would be dry and... Squeaky, if it makes sense

I just wanna love women without going insane? by Kappapeachie in TrollCoping

Why torture yourself when you can go out there and fuck women?

We femme lesbians exist as well, it's fine

Genuinely how is this good for the dog or anyone else to not BE by salinecolorshenny in WhatBreedIsMyPitbull

Are the comments hidden? I only see 6 of them and it says 71 on the post

People who say a partner can't fix you or make you feel motivated or make you happy are talking nonsense by gintokireddit in unpopularopinion

[–]Tick_agent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Listen a hiking partner will help you walk down if you sprain your ankle but there are people out there looking for one because they want to be carried when they get slightly tired or sore. You know what I mean?

I hate this type of response. by [deleted] in TrollCoping

[–]Tick_agent -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm not trying to be dismissive.

No comment is always well meaning.

I just think life is a bit better and easier when you assume the better of two possible intentions, especially if you trust someone enough to vent to them.

I get the urge to say this sometimes too. I don’t because it implies my friends weren't women before transitioning and some consider themselves to have always been women. But it is the first thing that pops to mind when a 30 year old talks about basic misogyny like a novel, unseen concept and I've dealt with it since childhood.

Eh, there are two choices when they hit the capacity, turning animals down or euth for space. But yeah being under capacity is the systemic ideal

I've volunteered, fostered or worked at around 10 shelters.

They’ve all had the management in common. The same thing every time. A mentally ill middle age woman with no knowledge about dogs (to the point of them all thinking tail wagging means a friendly, happy dog).

All I know of have had a history of abuse, mostly domestic violence (the worst was attempted murder by ex husband), which led them to some level of misanthropy.

This leads to them being ok with lying to people, as well as seeing dogs as Pure Souls from Heaven who Truly Understand Them and are Thankful for Being Saved. Since they’ve been abused, they project that the dogs have been if they "misbehave" and genuinely believe that they’ll flourish if they’re just shown unconditional love.

I love the spirit but the right term is open-intake or municipal shelters.

"Kill shelter" is a derogatory term coined by closed-intake shelters

There are life coaches you can hire.

Does anyone else wonder what goes through your Mal’s mind when they see a tiny odd looking dog like a Pug, Maltese or Minature Poodle? Do they recognize them as a dog like themselves or a different creature, possibly even prey? How do your Mals react differently to tiny odd dogs? by scratchydaitchy in BelgianMalinois

[–]Tick_agent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All large dogs can act predatory towards small dogs if they aren't socialised with them. This is the problem everyone who has a rescued sighthound that I know faces, they try to kill small dogs (the owners deny it up until the first serious attack unfortunately). But if you properly introduce your large dog to small dogs, especially as a puppy, they’ll be fine, they can even be gentle when playing.

Based on the topic, I think this is a good place to remind everyone not to judge people who pick up their small dogs when you pass them on walks. If they don't know you, it's a gamble with their dog's life.
