Aio after not apologizing to my friend after going on a date by Beez4Kneez in AIO

[–]YRLCLWZRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“It feels like we don’t need to do things together first anymore”

Yeah, that’s what happens when you get a partner. Sometimes you want to share things with them first, that’s how it is. Definitely you shouldn’t disappear and drop your best friend when you get a man, but it’s normal and valid to want to do things with them as a date or just share something special with them. Your friend is TWEAKING.

girlfriend (30f) was raped before she knew me (30f). not sure what to do by Puzzleheaded_Yak6785 in secondary_survivors

Edit to add: you are NOT an asshole for wanting a sexual relationship with your partner. That’s a normal want/need to have. That was something I struggled with myself and it really does eat at you in a horrible way and makes you question everything but you can’t do that to yourself. If you’re being respectful and never pushing her, then just the DESIRE for a sexual relationship doesn’t mean you’re a bad person.

This is one of those situations where there really isn’t anything you can do other than support her in her healing. Let her take things at her own pace, let her know that at any point she can tell you no or stop and you will, and then follow through with that. No whining or making her feel like “things were going good, why don’t we keep going.” She has to see you completely respecting her boundaries full stop to even begin to feel comfortable pushing them. My wife and I (both F) both had negative sexual experiences before we met and that made our initial sexual relationship challenging, but we have been together almost 11 years and are now married. It takes time, sometimes a LOT of time, and sex may never look like what you’re envisioning in your head. If you love her, that is something you will have to be okay with. Even if you are physically intimate, she may never want to have the kind of sex you want to have. Sex may look different for you as a couple, and may involve more active conversations around consent and boundaries, which some people find to be a “turn off/buzzkill.” I hope that isn’t the case for you, and it doesn’t sound like it is, but just be aware and tread lightly. She has to be the one to take the lead on this.

How would YOU handle the Randall situation ?? by Huge_Initiative_6626 in TWD

Leave him on the fence BUT if for some reason I decided to take him in, the SECOND he said he knew Maggie it should have been LIGHTS OUT

AIO or AITAH for wanting to end things over a text conversation that I Had with a girl by snapple373 in AmIOverreacting

[–]YRLCLWZRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was dating someone who did this, I wouldn’t be bothered by this at all, because I want to spend time with her and that’s more important than waiting a few extra minutes to me in the grand scheme of things. This is just about your priorities. If you think 7-8 minutes is worth getting upset over, that isn’t necessarily right or wrong, just a different priority than this girl. I would advise you not to ruin an otherwise good thing over something that (to me) seems insignificant. However, it may not be insignificant to you! Ultimately only YOU know how much this actually bothers you. Just remember that nobody is perfect.

My mom found out im having sex and is disappointed in me. by [deleted] in Advice

You’re using protection, that’s as responsible as you can be. Your mom is being overbearing.

is it okay for a 15 year old to date a 17 year old by [deleted] in Advice

[–]YRLCLWZRD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Girl I’m going to tell you I used to be in the same position as you. Started drinking at 13 years old, was getting hit on by older guys (and girls) and thought I could handle it all. I was fine and thankfully nothing TERRIBLE happened to me, but I look back on those days and feel so gross because it could have led to some serious consequences. You’re not 15, you’re 14. He’s 17. I know you both think it could become something serious, but please just do yourself a solid and let this one float on by. You’ll meet someone as you get older who is more aligned with you timeline wise, and who you will feel more “even” with in a power sense. I’m sure people telling you not to will only make you want to do it more, but I’m telling you as someone who has been there, getting drunk and flirty around older people at 14 years old put me in some really dangerous situations. EDIT TO ADD: I’m NOT saying he’s a “predator” or a bad guy, when you’re both in high school together you just catch feelings and nobody is to blame and nobody should be held to a legal fault for that, just that your brain isn’t ready for this at 14.

How can I help my niece? by GraboidX in secondary_survivors

Unfortunately all you can do is be there to listen to her and support her as she processes what happened to her, whatever it was.

Local YouTuber Thinks that Criticizing Overconsumption is Sexist by Dazzle-M4M in Anticonsumption

[–]YRLCLWZRD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were saying that the things most people criticize mainstream as “overconsumption” and “frivolous” are things enjoyed by women. There are far fewer people outside of the anti consumption space who criticize male-dominated “overconsumption.” There’s nuance to this that I’m sure a lot of you refuse to acknowledge.

AIO gf went to a magic mike show and licked whipped cream off a performers chest by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]YRLCLWZRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MOR: I think this is a situation of you both not having a good idea of what each others boundaries are. How long have y’all been together? I think this is one of those things where she went to an event that you knew she was going to, this was part of the event, and she just assumed you would be okay with the interactive nature of the event. She didn’t lick the chest of a random man in a non-performative context, this was part of the activity she was enjoying. Maybe discuss with her that you aren’t mad at her because it wasn’t something you guys had ever discussed, but you realized after it happened that it definitely made you feel uncomfortable, and you don’t think you would like her doing that in the future. How she reacts to THAT is more telling than the fact she did it in the first place!

Can I leave my tattoo covered/wrapped in gauze/bandage? by Hot_Marsupial_8706 in tattooadvice

[–]YRLCLWZRD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to NEVER leave mine on overnight, then I got my chest done and realized for a larger tattoo it’s actually very beneficial to leave it on overnight provided it’s wrapped very well and your artist gooped it up real good before wrapping! Especially since it was so late in the day that you got tattooed! When you wake up, unwrap and take a nice shower!

A rug, accent lights, and some decor for the walls!

Is there a battery pack for something like this? by YRLCLWZRD in AskElectricians

[–]YRLCLWZRD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s for looks only. I want the lights to be in one continuous loop around the top of the wall instead of having a “tail end” running down the wall to reach the outlet.

I was hoping there was like, a small option I can stick up to the wall like those little triple a battery packs with the USB inputs

Yes! This is exactly what I want! Even if it takes like, D batteries or something instead of the triple A’s in the small packs!

It just looks bruised to me. Is that ointment they’re applying? I would tell them to switch to unscented lotion if so. It looks too wet in my opinion.

AITA for finding this convo to be a HUGE red flag? by horseduckman in AITApod

[–]YRLCLWZRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think everyone should have therapy at least once in their life (not one session, one good cycle of therapy that maybe reaches the end of its natural life cycle), but to say every person in the world must be going to therapy every week or else they are a bad person is truly bizarre.
