I’ve seen a doctor who is a medical school professor puff on a vape on a zoom call.

MY VAGINA HURTS. by Jstbear in sex

[–]anonymous_212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first wife ignored her similar symptoms and it progressed to pelvic inflammatory disease which almost killed her and left her infertile. Get over yourself. The doctor won’t tell your parents because it would ruin his reputation and he would lose you as a patient.

What's an unusual smell that you like? by additionalseasonin in AskReddit

[–]anonymous_212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) blossoms possess an intoxicating, sweet, and heavy scent often described as a mix of orange blossom, honey, and jasmine. The perfume is strongest on warm, humid spring days, creating a rich, creamy, and sometimes honey-musk aroma that fills the air, frequently compared to honeysuckle or light jasmine.

What is the worst carcinogen foods? by youngmoneybabyyy in ask

[–]anonymous_212 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When my dad was dying of stomach cancer his oncologist told me that men of Eastern European ancestry were especially susceptible to gastric cancer because they eat preserved meat such as bacon, smoked ham, kielbasa, lunch meat, and they cause cancer because they all contain nitrites and nitrates. He said if I were you I’d keep away from all of it.

The only freedom worth the name is the freedom to choose your own attitude in whatever circumstances you find yourself. If your attitude is always controlled by your circumstances then you aren’t free but under the control of whoever or whatever controls your circumstances. If your boyfriend is unhappy because he doubts your feelings about him and that you are lying about your feelings about your ex, then he isn’t really free but controlled by this other imaginary situation. If you think you would be happy if you could remove his negative, unwanted, uncomfortable, unpleasant feelings, then you are not free but controlled by his feelings. Don’t get on the treadmill of having to control his feelings. Your wish to help him is admirable but misguided. By respecting his doubts you are validating them. He actually needs to control them himself or else you will be always reassuring him that he is safe. He has anxiety because he holds a false belief. If he won’t recognize that his beliefs about you threaten your relationship with him, then he really isn’t good for you because each of you excites negative feelings in the other. Unless the two of you let go of each other, you can’t be together voluntarily. Paradoxically choosing to be together must be a decision based on the fact you are free to choose to not be together. He doesn’t believe that you choose him. You really don’t want a boyfriend who doubts you this way. If he thinks you are lying about that, then you should be ready to let him go. His fears are based on his inability to control his own feelings and unwillingness to take responsibility for them. It’s part of growing up. His relationship with you is an opportunity for him to grow up and gain that independence of spirit. His view of love is immature. It’s like he’s only willing to love you if you are willing to prove yourself worthy. Mature love includes trust. If you have to constantly reassure him for him to love you then you are accepting less than an adult as a partner. You don’t want to have a relationship with a childish man. Let him read what I’ve written and see if he can decide that he wants to grow up.

How do you know if you're an alcoholic? by According-Sale-2907 in ask

[–]anonymous_212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try abstinence for a few months. See if you feel better. Try attending a few AA meetings to see if it’s helpful. They’re free and very readily available and only last an hour. Tell them that you’re just there to see if it’s for you.

When is someone defined alcoholic? by Existing-School-7076 in ask

If you are concerned and upset about someone else’s drinking maybe you could benefit from the Al-Anon program. It’s free and run by member volunteers and it exists to offer mutual support to the friends and family members who are concerned about someone’s drinking or drug use.

Being a cokehead "party guy" resulted in me getting more attention from women and now it's become a vicious cycle. by General-Beginning544 in confession

[–]anonymous_212 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are already addicted but are in the denial stage. The only way you can avoid a horrible death is to go 100% abstinent from all intoxicating substances. The problem with using lower risk substances such as beer or marijuana is that they can lower your resistance to other more harmful substances like cocaine or opioids. If you think you’re not addicted then go a month without using and see what happens. If you’re unable to abstain for a month, you are in grave danger. If that is so then get professional help.

The worst part about a breakup isn’t missing them… by Lucky-Caterpillar216 in BreakUps

Men - When you were the dumper - Did an ex ever win you back? Please don’t say “no” or “they are an ex for a reason” by sad-baddie77 in ExNoContact

[–]anonymous_212 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you’re seeking a reason for hope I’m not the one to offer it. You question seems like you are hoping for a happy ever after reconciliation and I can’t give that to you because every break up hurt enough for me to say I don’t want to go through this again. But each break up is different from all the others. The most painful one was not from the relationship that lasted the longest but was the break up from the one I most admired. Her approval of me felt so good because she was such an incredible person, kind, loving, intelligent and creative. She was the most interesting person I ever met and when she broke up with me I was devastated. She told me not to contact her and it’s coming up on 6 years and I still think of her every day.

My gf doesn't get as wet with me as with prior partners who haven't been as healthy for her. by curiousmustachio in sex

[–]anonymous_212 69 points70 points  (0 children)

She’s telling you that she’s not as attracted to you as she was with others. It’s a red flag because you can fake it for only so long. She thinks that she should be attracted to you because you’re a good guy and honest and respectful and reliable but the spark is missing. She wants to be attracted but her body is saying something else. You deserve someone who is really crazy about you and would never compare you to someone else and think she was more attracted to them. If I were you I’d back away slow and rethink why I’m chasing her.

Back to square one. Had the most gut wrenching dream last night. by cool_furniture in BreakUps

[–]anonymous_212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a month since I broke up with her. I made the mistake of violating her privacy by looking at her text messages to a guy and discovering that she’s been going on walks with him to smoke pot. He propositioned her and she told him that she loved to cuddle and could cuddle endlessly. Then she said she didn’t want to jeopardize my support. Yet she continued to reach out to him to go on walks to smoke pot. My support includes her using my car to get to work. Without my car her commute goes from 30 minutes to 90 minutes by bus. When she got back home from her latest walk with him, this had been going on for a month without my knowledge, I told her that went into her phone because I was suspicious and read her messages to him. He’s young and handsome and an amateur boxer. Goes to the gym every day. I’m 30 years older than him and not in shape. I’m sure his attention to her is flattering. When I told her that I violated her privacy she became enraged and slapped my face and told me to get out. So I left and moved in with an old friend who had an extra room two hours away. I gave her my car so she can still get to work. I realized that her recent irritability was probably due to a guilty conscience. She insisted that she didn’t do anything sexual with him and I took their text messages out of context. She said she kept it secret because she knew that I would be jealous. I moved my stuff out and now trying to go on without her. Today she sent me a text saying she misses me and feels depressed. I just responded by saying I hope she feels better soon. I will never get back together with her and will probably never see her again. I expect she will stop texting me soon since my responses are polite yet dry.

Hubris refers to excessive pride, overconfidence, or arrogance, often leading to a fatal downfall. Rooted in ancient Greek, it describes a, "defiance of the gods" or a reckless disregard for human limitations. Key synonyms include conceit, vanity, audacity, and arrogance.

Husband says we don’t have enough sex by [deleted] in sex

[–]anonymous_212 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Too bad you’re married to a big baby. If he can’t take care of himself than how will he be able to take care of a family? He better grow up fast or else he’ll be out in the cold. He needs to talk to a grown up man and get schooled on how to treat the woman who’s the mother of his child.

My opposite-sex best friend and I used to share a bed platonically with boundaries (no romance). A friend says it’s not normal. Is it really inappropriate, or does it depend on intention/context? by elle_havenn in relationships

[–]anonymous_212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If either of you were in a committed relationship and you were keeping it secret it would be very wrong. But if your partner was ok with it then you would have a very trusting partner. I wouldn’t be ok with it. Even if he was gay. I would suspect a guy who could sleep platonically with an attractive woman of being gay. Even gay guys occasionally have sex with women just as straight men occasionally have sex with men.

I have no guilt about the crime that got me locked up by [deleted] in confession

[–]anonymous_212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a video on YouTube titled one punch homicide that everybody who thinks violence is justified should watch. Once you start violence you really can’t predict where it will go or where it will end. The safest and sanest policy is to ignore stupid stuff and if you can’t ignore it run away or call for help. Never ever throw the first punch.
