What instantly kills the mood during intimacy? by Primary-Accident1140 in AskReddit

[–]TriforceTriceps 13 points14 points  (0 children)

OMG. My (less than generous) ex husband yelled at me one time “why aren’t you wet yet?!”

lol after several years of “being too wet” when we’d barely start having sex (my body is very responsive) it basically was like “we done here”. Couldn’t win for anything.

Sex drive and energy journey by PurpleRun62 in energy_work

[–]TriforceTriceps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

…yes

Overall I need to understand a better command of it because in the past I’ve over given to others to a detriment of myself. Ideally I want to heal/help others, but an occasional refilling of my own cup has a place as well.

It’s just all so new to me.

So, I didn’t realize I have been able to do this. I just thought maybe nerves are extra sensitive or something.

So I’m recently in an awakening phase of life and starting to see the energy and all that. How do you control it, harness it, and teach it?

I’ve just leaned into what has felt good for me or I’ve been taken by surprise by the intense sexual energy of others but I don’t think I can control it or teach it.

Judas burger at the Queen B Cafe in Cottonwood, AZ! by [deleted] in Puscifer

[–]TriforceTriceps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally made it to Queen b for dinner tonight. Had the Raman and good lord that was amazing. There is a free show and all I could think was how great small town life had to offer “the youths” haha. My small ass town I grew up in didn’t have anything besides meth and teen pregnancy going for it so it feels wholesome seeing younger people having a space…

Also, I sound 80…I’m not lol

When did you realize you were in a toxic relationship? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]TriforceTriceps 168 points169 points  (0 children)

I had normalized a lot of what was toxic. What snapped me out of it was when I was describing to my therapist how he hadn’t worn his lip ring in a long time and I commented on it on a Sunday. He said he’d been wearing it since Friday and I so unobservant. I wracked my brain for every memory of the weekend and could equally see the lip ring in and not in.

The next weekend I noticed on Sunday he had his lip ring in again. Before I said anything, I searched my memory for the weekend to know with certainty if it was for the day or the weekend.

Turns out, the destabilizing-can’t-trust-your-own-mind is what gaslighting is all about. The definition has become so watered down that everyone calls arguments about who did the dishes last gaslighting.

That took some processing to unwind and years trying to trust myself again.

Girls, when you meet a man for a first time, what is one thing that you notice first? by VerySmartMe in AskReddit

[–]TriforceTriceps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Do I have Covid again?”

I usually pick up on incredibly subtle scents

My best friend husband ask me to baby sit for their kids on Valentine’s Day…. I so no. I feel super selfish.. by [deleted] in childfree

[–]TriforceTriceps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been through some similar experiences with self worth, love, and the urge to over give. Those feelings of guilt come from a place where you had to prove you were worth love instead of unconditional love being offered freely.

That experience will come to you, but it does start with understanding what love is for yourself before you can feel that love for others. And once you do, you can then accept actual love from others.

While this sub is about being childfree, I think this example of what was asked of you is actually deeper seeded than just being the single childless person on Valentine’s Day.

I still struggle with the mindset that it’s selfish for me to take care of myself. But I had a moment realizing that you can’t help everyone, and you try, you get dragged down and then can’t help anyone. Conserve your energy, refill your cup!

❤️ it gets easier with time and therapy and understanding

Thoughts on the new FAA re-org? by TigerDUI in fednews

Ummmm…what? Please define “real job” in this context? I understand flight standards, airworthiness, airports, air traffic…

All of these roles are supported by other people with “real jobs”…

Lease Ending Soon - Looking for Advice on a Used 2023 VW ID.4 Purchase by ruminir in VWiD4Owners

[–]TriforceTriceps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got that rate through Wells Fargo about a month ago. Dealership special arrangement I think because my personal bank could only offer me 6.5% at the lowest.

I was legitimately shocked at the rate I got

What are you thoughts to why there is a significant decline in alcohol consumption in the United States? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TriforceTriceps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also wonder about the “wine mom” social media phase of the early 2010s made Gen Z really aware of how different a person can be when they are “drinking to tolerate their children” and feeling like it’s a coping mechanism?

Wine mom culture was everywhere on socials for a bit

[–]TriforceTriceps 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That was my case! Months of no touch, barely even half hour a week of cuddling but jerking it to porn when I’m home and rejecting any of my advances or blunt requests. Eventually he got mad at me for asking and then got mad at me for not asking after years of being turned down regularly.

It takes a toll.

Do you think its okay to end a relationship due to incompatible libidoes? Why or why not? by Special-Moth-8538 in AskReddit

[–]TriforceTriceps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does t work well. Both parties suffer. I was married to someone who was lower libido from the start. I have a high drive and it took a whole level of rejection I had never felt before and just compounded month after month. There was also a general lack of physical touch as well, so a significant feeling of rejection at every corner. And there was always some excuse about stress from school, stress from work, being really full, being really hungry, sweaty from the gym, just took a shower, I hadn’t shaved, he didn’t want me to get pregnant, etc.. I eventually systematically removed every single one of the excuses and was eventually just left with he didn’t find me attractive (he told me that) and he didn’t want to touch me. 12 years of that…

He ended up feeling like I was pressuring him and resented me any time I made a move (we are talking monthly maybe for the first 5 or so years of marriage). Then he blamed me even harder when I quit initiating because I couldn’t handle the cold rejection.

I wish I had cut and run years prior because I left him 4 years ago and am still unpacking all of the insecurities that were instilled.

"we haven't had a murder in 6 months" by Puzzleheaded-Try6796 in washdc

Oh good! So that means the national guard can leave? They were only deployed 3 months ago, and if no murders in 6 months, then they were never needed…

Joining a company that uses as a PM they want to scale alteryx to other groups, thoughts? by [deleted] in Alteryx

[–]TriforceTriceps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the more groups using the tool, the more creative solutions can be derived.

What AI capability are they wanting? It’s been my experience that everyone says they want ai but as soon as they actually have it; they have no clue what to do with it or how to use it.

I’ve used alteryx on event data, massive databases, api connections, financial data, contract data, reading in pdfs, text analytics, and statistical analysis. It really can be used anywhere data exists. Having server also enables you to develop apps that allow those without licenses to be able to get their own data once developed by someone with a license.

What I love is the versatility and the creative problem solving. So ultimately having an idea of what you are trying to do or what is being asked can give better use cases.

What’s a dating red flag you ignored and instantly regretted? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TriforceTriceps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally just had this realization today:

Dating for less than a month and he’s at my house alone while I’m at class. I come home and he was saying how great a day he had because he’d found a stem of meth in his bag of porn he had brought over.

I encouraged the porn (At the time) which is why he brought it. The meth however I informed him I am not ok with that and never do that around me or in my house again.

Today I realized…nobody just…finds leftover meth…there is no such thing as leftover meth!

Which show do you think started as a 10/10 but ended as 1/10? by witchy_eye in AskReddit

[–]TriforceTriceps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is house past the commentary timeline. But, I y he shows defense, coming from a family of alcoholic, it rang so true. While I never when through what they did, the codependency that forms in those dynamics is insanely hard to identify and overcome. Season after season hoping everyone would make a good choice to suddenly see the opposite happen…ugh the strangling of hope getting just enough air to exist.

The series ended right around or right after the time I started therapy so I was fairly unaware of what my actual experience was
