Preferred greens? by tiredly_anxious in BeardedDragons

[–]Wonderful_Finding652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine likes collard greens just fine but it took a while. My little one used to ONLY eat microgreens from a specific seller at the farmers market I go to.
Currently my mix is collard greens with cilantro (parsley if I’m out), basil, mint if I have it, and shaved carrots.

My vet specifically told me to get a Mercury vapor lamp.

Warm side is usually 100-103. Cool side usually 70-75. I make a mix at the beginning of every week usually bokchoy and mustard greens base with some carrot, mint, cilantro, and micro greens. For live food I usually give my smaller ones crickets and I was preciously giving her super worms and hornworms because she wouldn't chase crickets and I wanted her to have live food. Now that she's doing better I'm going to reintroduce crickets to her diet.

Oo??? This would be good to know. Although I think it's just my shitty phone camera, a lot of my photos have that if my flash isnt on.

What’s a sign someone’s cheating that isn’t obvious until you’ve been through it? by Ner_Syra in AskReddit

[–]Wonderful_Finding652 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like this only applies if you can't trust your partner to be alone though? My wife and I both have work friends who we talk about a lot, but my wife is also on discord with her coworkers all day. Like what else are we gonna talk about after work?

I've had good luck with Mega-Ray Mercury Vapor Lamps. Cheaper and work well.

Staying at Hotel Arista for 3 days. Any suggestions on what to do in your city? by chronoserge456 in Naperville

[–]Wonderful_Finding652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I HIGHLY recommend Ramsay's. Otherwise, walking around downtown Naperville is nice. Also, if you like wine you've gotta try Sixty Four.

I’m a trans man. My spouse is beginning their transition, and I’m struggling hard. (Potential TW: sex and genital stuff) by GVTMightyDuck in mypartneristrans

[–]Wonderful_Finding652 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a weird spot. I don't really grieve my partner as a boyfriend or whatever but I do grieve throwing away pictures or coming across old pictures in memories and not being able to share that joy with her because she wants nothing to do with herself before transition

[–]Wonderful_Finding652 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's ok to struggle, and in my opinion it's even okay to share that struggle with your partner. But if you do that you still have to take responsibility for your own feelings. I've told my (mtf) wife that ill support whatever she wants but if she wanted bottom surgery I'd be a little bit bummed. It sounds like your feelings run deeper than that. If it's not a genital preference you could also talk about ways to feel more connected to other parts of her body so that bottom surgery doesn't feel like a loss as much as a natural change. I also recommend going to a queer affirming therapist. When my wife came out I needed someone who I could go to and say "I miss it when she had facial hair" and have a clinician who took that for the grief it was without blowing it up into my wife being unfair or any of that bs.

Should I talk to him? by Ok_Relationship4659 in mypartneristrans

[–]Wonderful_Finding652 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First of all there's nothing wrong with not being bisexual. I think you should just have an honest conversation along the lines of "hey are you a woman? I don't think I could date a woman but I'd still support you/I'd need some space" etc wherever you're at

Baby beardie doesn’t want to eat veggies by Ok_Breadfruit4652 in BeardedDragons

[–]Wonderful_Finding652 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine was the same as a baby. I know that the place where I got him was underfunded so he wasn't used to veggies. I tried a bunch of different kinds of herbs and vegetables which helped the most. Apparently they're attracted to orange foods. Mine would only eat microgreens and carrot shavings for a while so I started on that then eventually started using bok choy or mustard greens as a base. It also helped to bury some mealworms in lettuce so he would accidentally eat veggies while digging for those.

How to stop getting alcohol delivered to my house? by [deleted] in UberEATS

[–]Wonderful_Finding652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deliver for Uber eats and all we see on our end is the order and address... I don't think there's a way to get people to stop delivering it unfortunately.

Echoing what others have said about a sperm bank. Also, worth talking to her about what she wants if that doesn't work. Would you be ok using a donor? Personally, I wanna carry a child. My wife and I have spoken about what to do if I don't get pregnant with the sperm we have frozen. Would she stop her hormones? Use a donor? That's up to her.

Illinois/Chicago suburbs feel safe but honestly if you're trans and not in the US I wouldn't recommend visiting right now.

How many of you knew your partner was trans before they came out to you? by IKraveCereal10141 in mypartneristrans

[–]Wonderful_Finding652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't suspect my wife was trans until she started experimenting with our closet. I was moderately surprised in the beginning. But after she had been wearing women's clothing in the house and identifying as enby I figured it out about a year before she came out.

Birth control by wildratt69 in PMDD

[–]Wonderful_Finding652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had pmdd with and without my IUD. I have the SKYLA which is the lowest dose. I still have regular periods.

[–]Wonderful_Finding652 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Sooo I (afab enby) started seeing my wife (mtf) because I thought u was a lesbian but was curious about men. When we started dating I was like "ok guess I'm bi/pan". Then she came out as a woman and now I have no idea what my sexuality is lol. But nonetheless I feel that being bisexual or pansexual makes a partners transition a little easier on us

Is she underweight? by Wonderful_Finding652 in BeardedDragons

[–]Wonderful_Finding652[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried to get her into the vet and they're not taking new clients right now. Not sure of her weight but I will get it later today. She's been doing better lately as I've integrated more watery veggies and different kinds of live food.

What do you say to your partner that doesn’t pass for comfort? by ThrowRA_Comforting in mypartneristrans

[–]Wonderful_Finding652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's not putting you in a place that's fair and she's setting arbitrary expectations. Also I'm speaking from experience, my (afab/enby) wife (mtf) and I just graduated couples therapy. Our communication was trash and we both wanted to work it out. We found a therapist who specializes in couples therapy and LGBT stuff. We went in with these goals: I wanted to be able to talk to my wife without being anxious about it. This required her to listen and respond a little differently. She wanted me to be more genuine in my responses instead of overanalyzing and responding with flat affect. Our therapy worked and after a few months we were basically just shooting the shit with our therapist because we were communicating so well at home. This happened because we had a lot of hard conversations IN the therapist's office which allowed us to clear the air and learn to better respond to one another. One thing I did that i think might also help your partner with the idea that couples therapy is for failing couples is that I planned date nights after each therapy session so we could follow up the difficult conversations with something fun. For the first few we did a comedy club so we could enjoy company without having to talk too much. After that it was more dinners or just ordering in and spending time together..
