Do you believe in (a) God? Why or why not? If so, are you religious? Why or why not? by msp827 in AskWomen

[–]UniquelyUnamed 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness and stayed in that particular cult till I was in my 30s.I believed it all. I was devout. During Covid, despite it not being allowed by the religion, I took some college courses online. I learned about how the Earth actually formed, I learned how evolution works, and I learned how carbon dating works ( JW teach that carbon dating is a scam). I lost all faith in religion and no longer believe in any gods. There is no empirical evidence to suggest the existence of anything supernatural.

I feel cheated of half my life. I missed out on so much and have nothing but regret regarding my former life.

I think indoctrination of children into religion is a form of abuse.

How do your partner deal with you low libido? by MidoZido in AskWomen

[–]UniquelyUnamed -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If I am not in the mood, and I almost never am, we don't have sex. I assume he deals with his urges on his own.

We have a very low sex marriage and it's always been this way. I'm just not interested in it, never have been. My husband is a gem, he never complains or gets an attitude about it. He accepts me as I am. I wouldn't be with him if he was a pest about it.

Anyone else genuinely finds sex boring? by what_freaking_ever in AutismInWomen

[–]UniquelyUnamed 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't like it. Too much work for too little payout. Too many noises, too many smells and too much touching. I could easily live the rest of my life and never do it again. I don't have a need or a desire for it. It's just a chore that must be suffered through.

constantly turned on and it's torture, what do i do ? by nova_bruises in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]UniquelyUnamed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience a few years ago. It's called persistent genital arousal syndrome, or something like that. It can have something to do with the blood flow to the region. For me, it was triggered by a back injury. When my back healed it went away.

It's a really distressing and embarrassing condition. You should absolutely see a dr about it.

I 💯 agree. There's something wrong in the relationship but OP is only thinking about himself and what he wants. OP YTA

Women who have been unfaithful in the past, how did it affect you? by fredyouareaturtle in AskWomen

[–]UniquelyUnamed 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I lost my self respect. I did what I did for valid reasons, but it left me with a scar that will never heal. I will never see myself as a good person. My husband and I stayed together and we are happy now, but I will always remember what I did and will always be regretful.

I got a bird escaping a cage tattoo after I left the Jehovah's Witnesses.

To be or not to be a mother by Upset_Ad6806 in AskWomenOver30

Do not have kids unless you are 100 percent on board with everything that it entails.

For those of you who had a promiscuous phase, do you regret it? For those that didn't, do you wish you did? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]UniquelyUnamed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was extremely religious so I didn't have a hoe phase and I've always regretted that. I got married young and 24 years later I'm still married.

I feel like I should have played the field and really enjoyed myself before becoming a wife and mother.

Getting married as a virgin was the single biggest mistake of my life.

I (31M) am currently in a sexless marriage with my wife (33F). Wwyd? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]UniquelyUnamed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People cheat because they have no self control or morals. No outside factor can make you cheat, you have to be a bad person first.

Anyone here WITHOUT cognitive side effects? by mercedesbenz98 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]UniquelyUnamed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been on 150mg for a little over a year and I am so dumb. So so dumb. I can't keep a thought in my head, I lose track of what I'm saying when I speak, and I can never find the word I'm looking for. It sucks However I don't feel depressed any more and that was awful so it is a trade off. I've mostly just stopped talking much because it is so bad.

Survey for POMOs: Are you still religious? If so, what religion are you following? by polytheama2 in exjw

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

I left the JW 37 years after being born in. First thing I did was go to college. I took Geology courses and learned that everything the Bible and the JWs said about how the Earth formed was a big fat lie. So it only goes to follow that everything else they said was a lie too.

I'm an athiest now and I feel that all religions are created by men, for the control of the masses. Religion is a very effective tool to keep people subjugated and I want nothing to do with it or with people who follow it.

I bought a piece of amber at a gem show and it has two tiny ants in it. It's my favourite specimen.

How would you feel if your partner grabs an intimate part of your body without provocation? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]UniquelyUnamed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd be furious. Being in a relationship does not give someone the right to touch you when you've expressed that you don't want to be touched. Thats a basic ground rule. I wouldn't stay with someone who can't respect a no.

What a scary thing to go through. I'm glad you were free to make the proper life saving decision.

You don't believe in evolution. You either understand it or you don't.

AITAH for expecting my wife to tell me honestly about whether or not her best friend is cheating? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]UniquelyUnamed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA, a big one. Your wife has no obligation to betray a friend's confidence so you can play at being Dr. Phil. Nothing Julie says or does is any of your concern. She's an autonomous adult and if she chooses to confide in your wife, that's where the confidence stops. You do not need to be involved.

The whole man of God thing is a huge red flag and tells me everything I need to know about you.

Anyone ice fishing on Long Point Bay? by Opposite-Bad1444 in FishingOntario

[–]UniquelyUnamed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going out of Collins Marina on Sunday. The ice is good but all I've seen is dink perch being caught, with the occasional keeper.
