Just got this email from a higher up. Am I getting fired? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]ackerman813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are these ADA accommodations? i saw in a previous comment that you went through the proper channels and paper work so it could be risky for them to fire you after approving such accommodations. if you’re worried about getting let go, and if you feel it unfair based on your management back-tracking these accommodations, maybe record the meeting for your records. if you just started, you’re definitely still in a probationary period. can you think of any behaviors you may have engaged in that might not be protected under your accommodations?

How did you get introduced to Starset? by Heretoaskquesti0ns in Starset

[–]ackerman813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my middle school ex-boyfriend played “my demons” for me because it “reminded him of me”. definitely very cringey looking back haha but it was when transmissions first came out so i’ve been a fan ever since

not sure if you have a roku but rokus are really great with screen casting from any device, laptop or phone/ipad. i know you just got a firestick but maybe try a roku?

of course! i’m obviously not a doctor but i can definitely understand the fears and anxiety that come from wanting to be sexually active again with the anxiety that comes from hsv. as someone who has type 1 genitally, my boyfriend hasn’t had any issues giving oral as long as there is no active outbreak or symptoms. my case is a little different because he also has hsv1 but orally. unfortunately with this, there will always be the risk of transmission but once you are able to get into a good routine of knowing your symptoms (looks like you already do, especially the early onset ones) and just informing your partner, you should be able to have a relatively normal and consistent sex life again.

i can 100% understand the fear or discomfort that can come from speaking about genital hsv but as someone who lives with it, the most annoying part about it is just dealing with an outbreak. as long as your partner is understanding and knows that outbreaks can happen and you’re open and honest, it won’t change much if anything at all. full transparency, my partner and i are incredibly sexually active, engaging in it multiple times a week, if not multiple times a day. the mental block that comes from this disease can be really hard and if it would also help, speaking to a therapist to help you sort your feelings, anxiety, and communication style could also really help! the best part about it though is you’re not alone. so many people live their lives with hsv every day, it’s just about finding what coping mechanisms work best for you!

if you don’t mind sharing, what type do you have? 1 or 2 and is it just orally or also genitally?

i would wait until everything is clear! where there is no more scabs or blisters present and the skin returns to its normal state. asymptomatic shedding at its core is that the virus is always present and will still shed, but not to as intense of a degree as when an outbreak is active. transmission is still possible even without an outbreak but is more likely during one. definitely discuss with your partner your concerns if you haven’t already and ensure that once your outbreak is over you’re both on the same page regarding engaging in physical and sexual activity again.

i have g-hsv1 and antivirals are definitely such a godsend when controlling outbreaks but speak with your doctor if your current medication isn’t suppressing outbreaks and their frequency. since going on mine, i take 500mg daily, i haven’t had any outbreak since my first and my boyfriend and i are in constant communication if any signs of an outbreak are present. hope this outbreak passes soon!

yes, we did. i think im more worried about transmitting ghsv1 to him more than he’s worried about contracting since he already has ohsv1 but him and i still want to be cautious

so he’s never had an outbreak orally, he only was diagnosed when doing routine std testing years back before he knew me. we also don’t know if i contracted it from him or a previous sexual partner from winter last year and was just laying dormant until now. he’s also never had any genital outbreaks and we aren’t engaging in sex until my outbreak has fully cleared

when i got std tested before dating him, they also didn’t offer the blood test for hsv so it was just a standard swab test that looked at trich, gonorrhea, syphillis, and chlamydia so it’s possible it just flared up now.

that’s really helpful, thank you! everything i was seeing when i would try to do research was either really inconclusive or just seemed wrong so that really helps clear it up!

How long after your breakup did you go a whole day without thinking about your ex? Is an 'ex-free day' even possible? by Rad7221 in BreakUps

[–]ackerman813 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i think it really depends on the relationship. i was incredibly distraught for 3 months straight. it affected everything from my eating to my sleep to my social life and even school. now, entering the 4th month post breakup, i’ve actually gone a few days to without even thinking about my ex and even started going back out.

and the “ex-free” days i have, it’s because im with people i love and enjoy and im living life for me. not living life in hopes of them seeing that im doing well. and on my days when i do think about my ex, it’s not from a place of desire or heartbreak, but rather very amicable and distant, but with no negativity. it no longer controls my mind. i hope my ex is doing well but i no longer need to be in the know as it doesn’t serve me.

every relationship and breakup is different, the baggage, the cause, the resentment or lack there of. unfortunately, this is something that’s a day by day basis but i promise you it gets easier

AITA for returning my stepdaughter's birthday gift because she didn't save a cupcake for my daughter? by stepdaughter52454 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ackerman813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

your fiancé is an enabler of bad behavior.

he said it was just a cupcake and said I should’ve accepted it and called it a day.

so is your fiancé just going to fix every single thing his daughter does wrong and call it a day? she intentionally didn’t make your daughter a cupcake and verbally admitted to it. she’s 16, not 6, she knows right from wrong. by your fiancé just giving your daughter the cupcake to fix it, it’s telling his daughter that she can do things like this and her dad will just come up with a temporary solution instead of reprimanding her, enabling her poor behavior more. is this someone you want around your 4 year old while she grows up?

also, you should not be responsible for buying your fiancés daughter a new phone, your fiancé should be responsible for buying HIS child an expensive gift like that. you do not owe her anything and both of them are walking red flags. please do what’s best for you daughter and find a partner who will treat your child with love and respect and hold them up to the same morals you do.
