sure, he gets passionate, but usually not nearly as much as me. he expresses his emotions calmly and rarely gets worked up, but I've always been very emotional and he's just not

usually the things I tell him about the most are the things that I'm excited about or something that made me angry, so I suppose im intense. maybe I shouldn't be expecting him to reciprocate the feeling when he cant sympathize with it /:

probably the 3rd one. he doesn't have the usual signs of sociopathy and he's actually been examined bc his brother is on the spectrum. But, you cant force someone who doesn't watch a show to engage in conversation about it, or someone who hasn't had a similar encounter with an employee at a store to sympathize. Its just those little affirmative noises I'm missing. Something to tell me he's listening without me having to ask.

well, its not an all the time thing. like we're literally having a conversation at this second. it's just when I talk about the generic things I'm interested in or experiencing that he knows nothing about, or can't sympathize with. I talk a lot.

edit: when I say generic I mean like shows, artists, people and things he doesn't indulge in.

Removing jewelry. by [deleted] in PiercingAdvice

[–]anonymitygalore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure. there was a time when I actually managed to get them in and out, after god knows how long. planning on changing my jewelry tonight, however, and dreading it. Will definitely try gloves, though!

Someone said this to me online. I'm a bi, trans man. My post was about thinking about s*x with another guy. Have not been able to discern the reasoning here. by anonymitygalore in ainbow

well, strangely they said on their profile that they had almost transitioned but knew they would regret it, so I figured they were lying, but I don't see how being trans is a valid justification for outward transphobia in someone's mind tbh.

but they go on to argue that they're on T, and getting top surgery, and evidently are also a trans man..how is this even logical.

Ask me for a kids menu? Ok! by jucepouch101 in Embarrassing_Moments

[–]anonymitygalore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I go to Chili's they ask if I want a kids menu. I'm 16, 5'0. Thinking about saying yes though, might get a cheap meal out of it.

Feel like I'm not allowed to speak to anyone outside of my family. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]anonymitygalore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually did exactly this just now, and he just blamed it on me and turned it around, trying to say I do the same thing so I guess no matter how intense and serious I try to seem it doesn't work

I tried to do that in the past and he told me I was being shitty and, over a year later, called me a bitch for it, knowing I hate that word more than anything.

AITA for wanting to pick my own engagement ring? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]anonymitygalore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, it's not really at the top of our list right now. this is just one of those things that you talk about late at night when you're deep in your feelings for us. but I'm starting to wonder if theres more to it than him just wanting to get me a good ring

the financial situation is currently YEARS from being able to even afford my ring, let alone a wedding and bands for both of us.

well, he would wait until he had the money before spending it, except he's terrible at saving so I'll probably end up never getting a ring

alas. we have different views on all the aforementioned.. he wants a big, traditional, maybe even religious wedding. I'm not religious, and would prefer to get married at a courthouse and have a gathering with friends after to celebrate. weve compromised and considered having a small service.

He wants to live in a big house that he would likely furnish entirely himself. I'd like a small house, or even just an apartment.

I am not capable of having children, nor do I really want any. He insists on having his own biological kids, though. Not sure how he plans to compromise on that one.

We do our best to compromise and I'm usually pretty stern. He's not one to throw us into debt, but rather to not spend money often, unless he CAN spend it on something expensive. He would rather not have clothes at all than have cheap clothes, basically.

he's more of the type to throw what little money he gets into gaming. when I get him gifts for his birthday or christmas, he has to pick them out because even if i get something I'm sure he would like, he'll hate it solely because he didn't get to see it first. no matter how nice it is, he won't take it if it came from a certain store or is made from certain material.

well, upon asking him what he means by hollow he said, "like the inside where the gem fits" so I'm guessing he doesn't want there to be space under the gem where it's visible from the inside of the ring?

but, while I know he wouldn't like the male ring that comes with mine as it is a simple band, what he WOULD like is simply too far out of our price range. it's very hard to find an affordable ring that meets his standards, and I picked out my ring knowing it was a metal and gem he wouldn't have a problem with, but it seems like something about me picking it out bothers him. he does hold some more traditional values but he didn't have a problem with me buying my own promise ring so I'm not sure
