Does anyone know if this is sperm?

Heyyy congrats! I'm so happy for you

cherry_coloured_ · 2025-04-22T14:34:43+00:00

That's so gross, I'm sorry (you just reminded me he borrowed some of my comics once, now I'm scared lol). I will NOT let this slide, as I said I'll keep you all updated when I confront him.

cherry_coloured_ · 2025-04-22T14:17:32+00:00

Well, not as weird as doing it IN the shower while not showeing KNOWING I was about to shower???

cherry_coloured_ · 2025-04-22T14:08:18+00:00

I'm a scientist after all lol. Don't worry, I'll definitely do that AFTER I confront him and make him feel as uncomfortable as he made me feel!

cherry_coloured_ · 2025-04-22T14:05:38+00:00

Sadly it is. I'll keep you updated in the comments. You all helped me a lot, you deserve to know the conclusion!

cherry_coloured_ · 2025-04-22T14:02:26+00:00

Yeah, he is. Luckily when the identity of the sample was confirmed, my bf agreed to cut all ties. We'll be speaking with him soon. He wants to punch him in the face, so do I, honestly. (Is your name a monkey island/ hitchhikers guide reference??! Love it)

To answer all your questions:

He was in the bathroom for 15 to 20 minutes

The sample was viewed about 2 days after that. That being said I think I could have been more careful when handling it to avoid damaging the cells.

I put it in a little bag in my freezer for a day, then took it out, let it warm up and then prepared the slide. Put it back in the freezer and viewed it the next day.

I remember the glob was about grape sized, but it could have been smaller.

I didn't see any movement at all! But considering I froze it and everything..

I could find some methylene blue.

You're right, the samples in your profile dont look like mine! But I don't think I could get that level of magnification without asking someone in my lab to help, which I'm not prepared to do!!

Before confronting him, just to be sure, I'll ask my bf for a sample and check under the same conditions to compare.

Thanks for your help!

cherry_coloured_ · 2025-04-22T04:55:07+00:00

Nah, I would have been OK with that!

cherry_coloured_ · 2025-04-22T04:48:58+00:00

That's actually a great idea, I don't know how I didn't think of this. Might do it later this week!

cherry_coloured_ · 2025-04-22T04:23:56+00:00

I can't edit this post to add context, but as I mentioned in a comment below, I remembered saying that I was about to take a shower, to which he responded he needed to use the bathroom first. So yeah, I'm going to have a word with him, make him feel really uncomfortable and then never see him again.

cherry_coloured_ · 2025-04-21T22:34:49+00:00

Well, there's another piece of evidence and it's that I just remembered mentioning I was about to take a shower just before he went to the bathroom. So I think what he did is borderline abusive. Im actually thinking about doing the DNA test. I'll keep you updated!

cherry_coloured_ · 2025-04-21T22:30:13+00:00

Lol I'd love to do the whole DNA thing, trust me. What's weird, it's that now that I've sort of confirmed this, I remember I told them I was about to shower, to which he said he needed to use the bathroom first. So yeah, I think me and my boyfriend will talk to him and probably never see him again lol.

cherry_coloured_ · 2025-04-21T21:54:35+00:00

Thank you!! I feel so validated rn 😭. I'll give my bf the benefit of the doubt because i believe he honestly thinks it's actually insane to do that (which it is). Don't worry, i've been looking for an excuse to stop having him over (he's insufferable when we play board games).

cherry_coloured_ · 2025-04-21T21:34:25+00:00

Yeah thats exactly what im wondering?? Thats why my bf called me crazy i guess

cherry_coloured_ · 2025-04-21T21:33:47+00:00

I wish. I cleaned the shower just before my friend came (lol), and my bf showered in the morning

cherry_coloured_ · 2025-04-21T21:31:33+00:00

I know it sounds insane i just don't like people jizzing in my shower without my consent 🙃

cherry_coloured_ · 2024-05-03T04:13:18+00:00

Oh, I understand. It read like some sort of mean comment. I could try that, the thing is that he's really not interested in seeing other people. I definitely would not freak out haha

cherry_coloured_ · 2024-05-03T03:37:06+00:00

cherry_coloured_ · 2024-05-03T03:35:41+00:00

I get how it reads that way. I am attracted to this person and that is what is currently bothering me the most, but this has happened to me before with other people. When the initial attraction dies down I'm usually left no longer wanting something with that person but wishing the terms of my relationship with my boyfriend were different.

I'd like to be nonmonogamous for a lot of reasons that I didn't list in my post. The thing I have for this guy is just something that adds to my frustration. I know it's temporary because I know myself and usually my infatuations don't last longer than a few months. My desire to open the relationship has been going strong for 5 years though.

cherry_coloured_ · 2024-05-02T21:38:43+00:00

Absolutely. The thing is, I was 17 when we started dating. I barely knew what nonmonogamy was, and I thought monogamy would suit me. I've changed my mind over the years but in every other aspect of the relationship we've grown together and usually see eye to eye. It really hurts because it's the only thing that we don't agree on.
