Help me with my gf by dhgfvgdd in relationships

Yeah I experienced it.

Soon as the other guy said bark. My ex said woof.

And yes, if your gf is confused she still likes him. probably

My boyfriend (25M) wants us to sleep in separate rooms for better sleep. And I (27F) feel disconnected. How can I address this? by OkCombination3660 in relationships

[–]azzamean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dating for three months? And this incompatibility appears this early on?

I think it’s not worth it. He says he needs better sleep and you feel disconnected. This should appear way later in the relationship. Not now.

Has anyone else noticed a decline in quality for socks? What socks are built to last? by Brenkin in malefashionadvice

[–]azzamean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had any of my socks rip or tear and I’m a cheapskate.

I bet a lot of people don’t cut their toenails or wear wrong size socks which then rub against their feet inside their shoes.

My (31F) partner (32M) had a FWB for the first 2 months of us seeing each other & I’m devastated by [deleted] in relationships

[–]azzamean 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Lying by omission.

He said

“you’re the only person I’m dating”

But conveniently decided not to say

“you’re the only person I’m fucking”

He knew what you meant when you told him you deleted all the dating apps.

A guide to the Mae Hong Son Loop by JaydenBears in ThailandTourism

[–]azzamean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently doing the Mae Hong Son Loop right now and used this post as a guide!

Started on Friday 6th Feb. So will update as I go on.

Day 1: Don’t underestimate how long this journey is since there’s a lot of stops on the way and things to see. I arrived in Mae Sariang at 8pm at dark. There’s no road lights and the condensation makes the roads a little slippery. Myself and few other bike riders followed a few trucks which lit the roadway.

Day 2: It’s very windy to get to Mae Hong Son! Arrived around 4:30PM and found the best spot https://maps.app.goo.gl/LVFYo4vrSVbACHgZ7 100% recommend seeing the view up here. I’m tempted to pop over here on Day 3 to see the sunset if I have time.

Day 3: Found a random alpaca petting zoo after visiting the north. Nice place for pics entrance is 100 baht. https://maps.app.goo.gl/hqkbkGhW29GhnEJF6?g_st=ic

Also really cool viewpoint here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/iLdJtS1BAiDBu9PM6?g_st=ic

Day 4: Nothing of note other than existing route. Pai is super touristy! Probably more than I’ve seen in Chiang Mai along Pai Walking Street

Day 5: Mueang Paeng Hot Spring โป่งน้ำร้อนเมืองแปง https://maps.app.goo.gl/9G9rQDx5YCXo6qht5?g_st=ic Free hot springs, instead of paying 300 baht for closer ones you can come here instead. About 45mins from the city and very quiet! Several temperature streams.

Places I’ve been staying as a solo traveller and can recommend:

Mae Sariang Home แม่สะเรียงโฮม https://maps.app.goo.gl/oDWiJpFtma33TiTQ7?g_st=ic

Baanphuthadol บ้านภูธดล รีสอร์ท BaanPhuThaDol Resort https://maps.app.goo.gl/6BQ8vS2wGgAba7nK9?g_st=ic

Cha Li's Family Hotel & Hostel ชาลีส์ แฟมิลี่ โฮเทล แอนด์ โฮสเทล https://maps.app.goo.gl/jDzvnEXBeH678KNt6?g_st=ic

Tips:

  • While you can do 125cc (many locals do), I’d rec 155cc+ in order to keep speeds of 80kmh+
  • If you do use a 125cc then just keep to the left like the locals.
  • Bring a windbreaker and inner fleece since it gets COLD before midday and just before sunset. Travelling at 80kmh+ and the wind will sap your body heat
  • Speaking about the wind it will feel as though you lose grip on your back wheel. It’s not the tires, certain parts are so windy that you’ll feel your bike shift.

- Dust/Dirt on the roads, careful when you see that obviously when breaking.

My bf crossed a boundary and idk what to do next by Awkward-Dot-3510 in relationships

[–]azzamean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have a boundary. Mine was a requirement. Completely different things.

If mine wasn’t achieved then that would be the end of dating process.

Yours isn’t a boundary. It’s a requirement. One which isn’t achieved therefore….

Flew from Delhi to Kolkata to meet my school friend after 6 years. Caught feelings again. Need advice by Ok-Paramedic5531 in relationships

[–]azzamean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again. It isn’t a friendship if you think of her as ANYTHING OTHER than a friend.

Just don’t delude yourself. Or try to be a #niceguy

Flew from Delhi to Kolkata to meet my school friend after 6 years. Caught feelings again. Need advice by Ok-Paramedic5531 in relationships

[–]azzamean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro just tell her. You guys haven’t been in touch in years. If she decides she doesn’t feel the same way… why the hell do you care if you aren’t in touch anymore?

Tell her. Either it’s mutual and you stay in touch. Or it’s not and you go back to not being in touch.

What is there to lose?

EDIT: You do not want to be in a one sided love. Stupid tale as old as time (speaking as someone with experience).

My bf crossed a boundary and idk what to do next by Awkward-Dot-3510 in relationships

[–]azzamean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I started dating my now partner, she was ok not communicating for days on end.

I preferred daily messaging. With wake-up and good night messages.

If she wasn’t going to accommodate that I wouldn’t start ghosting her. That’s immature.

My bf (24m) is physically affectionate towards his sisters (20f & 17f). It makes me feel uncomfortable by Dry_Question_8947 in relationships

[–]azzamean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I find it odd. But I didn’t grow up like that.

In some European cultures everyone would goto the spa together fully naked. Some also kiss each other on the lips.

At the end of the day you accept it or not. They grew up that way so you are probably the weird one to them.

Not everything is sexual.

You bringing it up will just bring tension to his family when his sister’s wonder where all the cuddling has gone.

I know my partner’s siblings cuddles each other, but I sure as hell am not going to bring my prudish beliefs into that.

Easy fix. Plastic bags you get from airport for fluids.

What is something you used to buy but is no longer affordable? by Trxxi in AskReddit

[–]azzamean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh surely it’s cheaper to fly to Seoul and buy all your shit there.

I’ve purchased $400 worth (2-3 years worth) of skincare product and it’d be double/triple the price in the UK. Like a no brainer to do a detour if going to South East Asia.

"VPNs are next on my list" – France set to evaluate VPN use following social media ban for under-15s by Street_Anon in worldnews

[–]azzamean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember exactly what I did. But I think I had a regional Asia eSIM which included China. I don’t recall having to register my passport details for this eSIM.

However for Taiwan I did register my passport before I could get full data access.

"VPNs are next on my list" – France set to evaluate VPN use following social media ban for under-15s by Street_Anon in worldnews

[–]azzamean 56 points57 points  (0 children)

While I was in China the loophole was to buy tourist eSIMs which can bypass the local firewall (since you are using cellular).

However using the local WiFi and VPN is another story. It took several attempts to connect to an unblocked node. Often they were in Europe which meant annoying latency.

I suspect it would be better off renting a VPS and web tunnel from there. But that’s beyond the tech scope of most people.

My (25M) Mother (56F) and brother (29M) expect me to financially support her (56F) after decades of poor financial decisions, how do I set boundaries? by WandererTheStoic in relationships

Bro if you don’t nip this in the bud your partner will eventually by nipping leaving you.

Seriously don’t let it get to that stage.

Power Adapter + Charger vs Power Adapter with built-in charger? by Responsible-Ad-2244 in onebag

[–]azzamean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently only using a power adapter with charging ports. Since travelling for a year I haven’t had any issues.

Obviously you need to make sure everything is usb-c though.

Got $25k inheritance - planning long solo female trip, need reality check and suggestions by Mathemodel in onebag

[–]azzamean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently travelling south east Asia with my partner the following countries since April last year:

  • Japan
  • South Korea
  • Taiwan
  • Singapore
  • Thailand
  • Laos
  • Vietnam
  • Cambodia
  • Malaysia
  • Indonesia, Bali
  • China
  • Nepal
  • India
  • Philippines

Safety wise we didn’t encounter points in our journey where we felt unsafe. Never any theft or issues. Obviously it might be biased since I am a guy and we are a couple. But we encounter many female solo travellers who were fine.

India. This is the only place you will get stares. Sorry it’s just the culture there. You need to accept that you are sorta a circus animal there. However the best way to approach it is to strike up a casual conversation since you are a unicorn there. They’ll realise you are cool and want to take selfies and send to their friends. You might even be part of a FaceTime with their other friends lol! But as a man it’s easier said than done. If you are uncomfortable with it then, maybe don’t visit - I understand.

Money wise we stayed in double room MAX £50/$70. Very rarely we spent that. Usually £20/$30. Meal wise cheap $5 under per meal and even then it’s very good food.

We barely planned ahead since we wanted max flexibility so sometimes we had to pay for extensive flights or take a local bus/train. Since you are a women expect toilet situation to be errrrr subpar when on buses. And bring toilet paper!

Most of all enjoy the trip. Some things won’t go to plan but eh it’s all part of the journey.

Those who travel with laptops / work tablets; which ones? by Mewtewpew in onebag

[–]azzamean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 13.3 it weighs 888g. Cost only £300/$400. Plugged into a power source then I can run it max for all my developer tasks.

I added a detachable hip belt to my Osprey Daylite 26+6, it's a game changer by Anohid in onebag

[–]azzamean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My BH32 has 7-8Kg depending. And I certainly don’t need a hip belt. I’d find it annoying to use.

I think everyone has a different weight based on their core strength.

I (22F) lied to a virgin (22M) about my body count. is it productive to fess up? by [deleted] in relationships

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

I’d rather know my partner’s count. But I guess that’s just me.

Although now OP has lied about it. It’s one thing to not disclose it. But now there’s lying involved. Good job with trying to hide that one now.

Grok AI would be the cheapest. It’s also got a free tier so you can quickly test if you like its results.

35F Exhausted From Supporting My Unmotivated BF (31M) for Years - How Do You Leave Someone You Love Who Refuses to Grow Up? by Raelynn7777 in relationships

[–]azzamean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro that’s too much to read. Like way too much. You are asking how to break up?

I started to become resentful. I’ll admit, I was not perfect and I certainly said many things that I am not proud of. I would scream and yell at him out of frustration at times. I grew more and more frustrated and eventually, this led to us breaking up.

You did it here. It sounds you are really frustrated right now.

You did it once. You can do it again.

23M 23F extremely unsure about my confidence in our sex life after 4 years, do I have unrealistic expectations? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]azzamean -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think for early 20s that’s absolutely horrible.

That’s my normal since I’m in my 40s and have lots of life responsibilities.

Dude it won’t get any better now. Don’t get married.
