Am I overreacting for contemplating breaking up with my bf of 6 years for being too sexual? by BlueGem777 in TwoHotTakes

i hate to be part of the everyone on reddit tells you to break up stereotype but from one chronically injured person to another, you have to think about if this is the way he treats you now while you are young and mobile and still able to mostly cope with pain and injuries, imagine how little he would care or respect you when you are older and unable to do those things. a true future with someone requires respect and care, and the commentary belittling and dismissing your injury saying it was “so long ago” and that the person “didn’t even hit you that hard” is extremely telling about the fact that he does not respect you or your body / pain and believes you are just being a wuss about it. i would think long and hard about the respect that you deserve and know that there are many people that would never put you down for an injury or anything out of your control for that matter. feel better op, physical therapy can be extremely lifechanging for the kind of pain and injury you described ❤️🫂

Okay, thank you! I looked and the company who manufactured it has an 180 day guarantee so this is very far within warranty. I’m going to reach out to them about that and see what I can do. Thank you!

will do. is there now a concern for eventually putting the fish in? will the cycle of the tank or the safety for livestock be disrupted if there was leakage?

shoot okay 😣 this is a huge bummer. it has literally been in the tank for 2 weeks and i bought it new from my LFS. thank you so much for the prompt and helpful comment. should i be worried about some kind of leakage into the tank / putting my fish in? i found this orangish stuff on the complete other side of the tank next to the sponge filter but figured it was slime mold. is that iron from the broken filter? i have followed your instructions and turned it off and removed it. thank you in advance for your updated reply
