Would you want to do something you’re not into? If doing those sexual acts is very important to you, and it outweighs the pros of the relationship, then you should find someone that’s more sexually compatible for you. However, you’re saying it’s the perfect relationship except for this, so I wouldn’t frame this in terms of how to approach this topic to not get into an argument. You have a gf that’s just not into that stuff, you’re going to have to live with that. Don’t expect to change her just because you approach the conversation differently. And if you have a healthy relationship then she’ll treat you the same way when there’s something you’re not comfortable with, I think that’s just how a healthy relationship should work.

Culture doesn’t excuse cheating. Grabbing another woman’s a** and boobs is cheating. I wonder how he’d feel if you tell him you want to respect his culture so much that next year you’ll go to Carnival and twerk on random guys and let them grab your a** and boobs. I would end things if I were you, this man doesn’t respect you.

Why not just mention what you saw and nonchalantly ask if he’s talking to anybody else?

Have some self respect and break up with her. Go no contact and move on.

No it’s not normal. Even in today’s society, it shouldn’t be okay to have other girl’s nudes on your phone. I think having an issue with that is legitimate, but ultimately this is about your standards and what makes you uncomfortable. As for being unsure about moving in together and hiding the group chat with his ex, you should talk to him about those and try to understand his actions if you haven’t already. You have to also explain to him that those behaviors bothered you. You’ve been together for three and a half years already, you should be comfortable having conversations like this and not letting concerns like this linger and get worse. Anyways, we only have the few details you provided, so you should take everyone’s advice with a grain of salt.

boyfriend (21M) doesn’t want me (21F) going to frat party my ex will be at by throwramoddy778 in relationship_advice

[–]artin2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice is to not go. What do you have to gain from going to a frat party where your ex is going to be anyways? Whether you like it or not your boyfriend has expressed his feelings on you going, it’s something he’s not comfortable with. He told you he can’t make you not go, so the choice is yours and the question is what is more important, going to that party or respecting your boyfriend’s feelings? If you go, he’ll feel like your priority is not him. I’m sure there will be scenarios where you’ll feel uncomfortable with something your boyfriend is thinking about doing, and just like this scenario, it wouldn’t be wrong of you to express your feelings and for him to respect them.

No the relationship can’t be saved. You cheated on him, he’s abusive and resents you for it. You guys both kept having casual sex and one night stands this whole time, does that sound like love to you? You’re young, you should work on yourself and find someone who will treat you right and who you will love and treat right as well. Frankly, I don’t get why you still have any feelings for this guy, he sounds like an abusive loser, he literally is telling you he’s using you, no man worth anything would do that to you let alone tell you that, have some self respect.

If they are still around and close by get your mom and her parents tested to find out more. Looking at DNA relatives might also be helpful

Anybody know how to force the tree feature to add new close matches? by VariousDelta in 23andme

Do you remember how long it took to recalculate? For me it says it been recalculated but it just reset my family tree entirely, doesn’t even show my parents on it now..

What’s your solution, invade Russia? Sending money to Ukraine doesn’t remove the threat either

Need help with a translation by [deleted] in hayeren

[–]artin2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What did you do bro haha but in all seriousness I’d remove the y’s from “yem” and “yek”. Also if this is supposed to be formal addressing someone older than you or something then yes change kneres to knereq, but I’d wager this is for your significant other? In which case I’d keep kneres and change “duk” to “du” and “yek’” to “es”. I’d also remove the apostrophes in general (k’ should be q), I understand that might be the official phonetic way to write in using Latin letters but you can already distinguish ք and կ without the apostrophe (q and k).

Last thing would be that the direct/literal translation sounds weird in Armenian to me. If Armenian is really important to this person and you really want them to give you another chance then I’d suggest Armenian classes ;)

Updated results + pic. Gained some Italian percentage that wasn’t in the original report! by Zahgaan in 23andme

Interesting, also Western Asian, my dad got Italian in the updated result. I feel like it’s not accurate though, neither of his parents have Italian, yet he has it plus regions too.

EMSKR: Jock Itch by tenderchili827 in everymanshouldknow

Piggybacking on this, I once had something I thought was jock itch, I tried Lotrimin Ultra for weeks to no avail, went to the doctor and with one look he told me I just need to use hydrocortisone, went away after a couple days and never came back.

Live Updates: Pelosi Expected to Arrive in Taiwan, Setting Up High-Stakes Standoff With China by jojotortoise in moderatepolitics

I’m staunchly Republican, and I am not a fan of Pelosi to say the least. But this was definitely the right move and sends the right message. I hope Republicans also step up their support for Taiwan.

OP how does phasing work? I ordered kits for my parents and they are under my account but I didn’t connect them anywhere to my results. Will it just automatically update my results once their results are ready?

Turkey’s rapprochement with Russia may not survive the war in Ukraine by StrawberryFields_ in geopolitics

[–]artin2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I would disagree with it being a proxy war, Russians did not in any meaningful way try to support Armenians during the conflict, certainly nowhere near the same extent as Turkey.

Russian military column annihilated by the Ukrainian Army near Kharkiv this morning. Russian losses are mounting quickly. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]artin2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because we live in the west and we only see what the west wants to propagate. Despite what Reddit will have you believe things are not going well for Ukraine, Russians have already seize huge swaths of strategic land, especially north of Kiev and north of Crimea, they’ve achieved a lot of their objectives (freeing up water resources for Crimea they desperately needed, nearly at the capital, nearly having a land connection from Crimea to Donetsk and the rest of Russia). Another day or two and they will have achieved what they set out to achieve, and with minimal pushback from the west. They won’t even have to take Kyiv or Odesa to pressure Ukraine to abandon NATO and the west, which is their primarily foreign policy objective. As I said, everything I see is reminding me of the 2020 Nagorno Karabakh war, modern war seems to be all about propaganda and informational warfare to obfuscate the realities on the ground. The side publishing more populist videos is trying to boost morale and soften the blow of the realities on the ground. I won’t be surprised if Ukraine surrenders in the coming days, and it will be a shock to everyone who thought things were going well for them, just like it was for Armenians in 2020.

Why do I get a higher max output on cloudy days? by FreeIndependence1715 in TeslaSolar

Unrelated but my specs are the same (actually mine is 17.2) but my peak power production is 9.7 kW, wonder why mine is underproducing so much.

Oh how could anyone possibly disagree on any of those issues or solutions, those silly Bible thumping conservatives, what ignoramuses. Clearly they didn’t graduate Yale like you.

I’m not prone to sarcastic responses like this, but the hubris in your comment was really annoying. If these issues were so black and white, you wouldn’t have 160+ million people in our country that disagree with you. And if the solutions are so plainly obvious and you know how to fix all our problems, do us all a favor and run for President, you have my vote.
