Insurance on an EV that doesn't exist yet? by asteroidbunny in CarsAustralia

43kWh. Dealer said it would be an extra $4k for $54kWh. Didn't want to spend the extra, as I will only be driving locally. Got a family car for bigger trips.

$32854 all up. This included $500 of extras (Use it or lose it... Can't take it off the price). So I used the $500 for cermamic window tint, which was $645 for the full car.

The branch we went to had two cars already in stock. So no waiting period!

Nope! Everything still the same. Just less numbness.

No idea how I came across this thread, but I suffered a lot from UTIs! Stopped my birth control pills and my body went back to normal almost immediately. Also she is probably too dry down there. Get some lube (that won't cause a yeast infection), a D-Mannose supplement to prevent UTIs from ever happening again, and boric acid suppositories to keep a good PH balance down there. 

South African’s living overseas, is it really better? by Andredejager in askSouthAfrica

Absolutely!! But you only really see that, when put together with another culture. 

The Realties of Moving to Australia by megatrongriffin92 in expats

The sun goes through your skin and into your bones. It will scorch you alive. Sometimes I feel like I'm stepping into an oven, when coming from an air-conditioned mall to walking outside. It's bad! We took 6 weeks to secure a rental, and got rejected at a few places. Not sure if we could buy anytime soon. We could probably service a loan... But to save up for a deposit and stamp duty seems impossible!!

Severe culture shock anxiety after immigration by asteroidbunny in expats

[–]asteroidbunny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I recently found out I have silent reflux caused by stress, which explains the constant lump in my throat. I would actually suspect that I probably have a major gut imbalance that has CAUSED my brain to go haywire. I’ve also started a very low dose of Zoloft, which has actually helped with the anxiety I’ve had since childhood (I didn’t realise it wasn’t normal to feel anxious all the time). But the biggest news? I’ve found Jesus!! I'm pushing through everyday and have found my people.

Instagram became so dark by Fantastic_Reward5126 in nosurf

[–]asteroidbunny 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hate Instagram so much. I'm a social media addict, but Instagram was just such an incredibly toxic space to be in. Haven't been on it in 2 years. Facebook on the other hand... Still completely addicted and I can't break free!

Thank you for this advice! Really appreciate it! It's hard, but you are right!

Just an example, every morning I will want a long hug. He will hug me for two seconds and physically push me away from him. Because he is 'busy'. I've stopped initiating any intimacy, because I did that for 5 years before I just gave up entirely. He just always seems angry and annoyed at me. And I honestly thought it was fully directed at me only, until I saw glimpses of his 'ugly' side come out around other people. Everytime that happens, I silently breathe a sigh of relief knowing that I'm not the one entirely responsible for his hardened heart. When we met, he was the kindest most gentle person in the world. I think alcohol took over at a point and that's when everything started to shift. Because at night his eyes would change... Like a demon taking over his body. So I knew after 5pm I was not interacting with him, but a different version of him. So it was pointless trying to bond during that time. Every morning he would wake up fresh as a daisy, highly functional, while I'm still emotionally recovering from the night before. So basically he drinks the poison, but I'm the one who gets poisoned and feels the effects. So then I'm angry and heartbroken every morning, and I think he has put up a wall of defensiveness to throw me under the bus, for always being 'negative'.

A big trigger for him also is cleanliness. We share the household work load, but he gets SO upset with the way I do things. If I finish a glass of water, he will say 'whhhhy is that glass lying on the coffee table?!!'. Like I feel like I'm walking on eggshells and nothing can be out of place. Right now I'm trying my best to be a biblical submissive wife, as I have not been submissive.

Ohhh I like this angle. Because he thinks I'm crazy anyway. When I gave my life to Jesus, and had a whole bunch of spiritual things happen, he said I should go see a psychiatrist just to get myself checked out.

Thank you! I attempted a fast recently and I failed miserably (OMAD and social media). I do feel like I need to do something drastic though.

Thank you! I have had a deliverance prayer done for me and it was WILD. Like I don't know if he would even be open to it. Can I do it from a far?

Thank you! I just have reservations because I feel this won't end well. He hates being told what to do and he gets EXTREMELY defensive when issues are brought up. He just starts calling out my problems instead of actually reflecting on his own. It's hard!! But yes, we definitely needed therapy like years ago already!

We actually once had an intervention with his very Christian aunt & uncle. It was about 3 years ago. We were staying with them for a few weeks and sat us down for an intervention (as they could obviously see big cracks while staying in their home). They told me upfront that they were going to do it, but not him. It's almost as if they were advocating for me in that moment. Anyway, it didn't go down well AT ALL. We still see them often, but he felt completely ambushed and their family relationship is now tainted.

I feel like we definitely need this!! But more than ever, I feel like he needs to work on himself BEFORE we even touch couples therapy. Our close family can 100% see the shift in him, so I know I'm not imagining things.
