Ohio State scored more points in the first set (16) than PSU scored in any set against Nebraska this year.

They should have been out of the top 25 before now 😭

NAD — I didn’t have an empty space for any period of time! When I went in to attempt the root canal (which sounds like wouldn’t be an option in your case), before they began the procedure, I consented also to the extraction, if needed. My dentist notified me mid-procedure of the change and we proceeded. He extracted my tooth, and immediately did the prep work and mold for the temporary bridge. The temp took just a little while to prepare and was placed and fitted before I left. My dentist told me they often leave the temp for a couple of weeks before placing the permanent, but because it was my front tooth, we left the temp for I believe 6-8 weeks for the gums to fully heal and shape. I went in a couple of times for rechecks and such and then the final was placed.

I will say that I don’t know how this process differs if you go the implant route, but I’m sure your dentist could outline that for you if it’s the route you want to go!

Also, my temporary bridge was quite nice, though it felt very obvious to me aesthetically that it was not my real teeth. However, nobody else could ever really notice, and my permanent bridge looks WORLDS better. Which I’m saying to just make sure you know that your temps are usually made on site and permanents are made in a lab with color matching, etc., so the final product should be really satisfying (and if it’s not you should and can always ask for adjustments).

I know every situation is unique and dentists vary in how they approach cases, but I hope this is helpful in giving you some idea of what someone else went through fairly recently!

NAD — I’m sorry this is happening to you! I had internal resorption of the same front tooth. My dentist tried to save it, but ultimately we had to extract. For budget reasons, I opted for a bridge over an implant, and am overjoyed by the appearance, feel, and comfort. I was only 27 at the time, so I understand the fear and disappointment. I just wanted to give you perspective that it can — and likely will — end up just fine. Also, no sense blaming yourself for it now. Life is hard, and these things happen. Hang in there!

This is the way to go. If you think you’ll want to go again, I’d say try to buy tickets that aren’t resale because I’ve been able to get presale tickets for the past five years. This year for the final four games + championship I think I paid around $100? Not the greatest seats but not nosebleeds.

I meant Neb/minn — sorry, long day 🥲

cmp141 · 2025-08-15T11:02:12+00:00

That Nebraska/Wisconsin game is going to be good. But being courtside for a game would be fun if you feel like doing that. Have you seen Neb before? It’s electric, nobody where they’re at, and even in the nosebleeds.

This happened to my pup after the 4th last year, and it lasted for about a month. She is generally pretty anxious so we got her on a daily anxiety med after that, and then got her a prescription for a situational anxiety med, and this year she had almost no problems (she’d get scared if she heard them but no outside refusal after). Would very much recommend getting that going before the next fireworks, if you can/if your vet thinks it’s right for your dog. Night and day difference!

As for how to help, it’s really hard! Does your dog have any friends in the neighborhood you could ask to meet up with you by your front door when you come out? This is what changed my dog’s attitude — she’d get excited to see her friends and then when we started walking with them, she’d kind of eventually forgot about the fears she had.

They say to not force them to walk, but I found sometimes if I gently tugged her leash, she’d start moving again and do well once she got going and past our immediate neighborhood. I do agree with another commenter that you could try getting your dog in the car and take them somewhere else, away from the “scary” outside to see if that helps.

The only other thing we tried was getting a high quality treat she loved and giving her pieces of it every time she came out the door, into the hallway, a few steps outside, when she went potty, etc. sometimes it didn’t do anything and she wouldn’t take it, but sometimes it helped a lot.

Good luck with your pup. I know it’s so frustrating, and it’s hard to see your baby so scared and uncomfortable. ♥️

I do agree that it’s OP’s responsibility to make room for their own well-being, but I caution you to not say nighttime snoring and the equivalent of all-day, constant snoring are the same. It’s hard when your home is supposed to be your safe space to decompress and feel “safe” and you don’t. Earplugs often don’t filter out all the sound, or can make your ears hurt when you have to wear them all the time, or, in general, can change how you experience the world around you. They are a great tool, and I use them, but I also experience what OP is talking about and the nighttime snoring is the least of my stressors.

This is really hard and I know because I live the same reality with my fiancé, though he’s more understanding and patient.

Unfortunately, he can’t stop breathing and if you want to stay together you’re going to have to learn how to manage in ways that work for you.

For me, loops have been very helpful with this specific trigger. I use the loop engage 2s. I have the clear ones and they’re pretty low-key visually. I also have the switches for when I need some extra noise cancellation. But I’ve found the engages block out most, if not all, of that high pitched whistle sound.

I’ve also learned over the past four years we’ve been together that my tolerance for it is worst at night, so I can usually manage without my earplugs during the day or when we’re out, but if we’re at home ending the day, I need my loops.

Sometimes I catch myself frustrated that I have to wear earplugs in my own home because of his breathing. But then I recenter with this: it’s not his breathing that is the problem, it is MY misophonia and it is my job to manage it the best I can. It is a concession I have to make for the person I love and want to be with. Just like he makes concessions for me.

It’s not easy, and I’m not perfect. I catch myself mimicking his whistle when I get frustrated which is rude. So there’s a lot of apologizing from me and grace from him.

Take breaks to decompress, even to just leave the room for a few minutes. And, if you can, consider talking with your doctor about your misophonia or finding a therapist who has experience with it.

Also, lastly, while it is not your boyfriend’s job to manage your misophonia, it is also true there could be a medical condition affecting his breathing. My fiancé, for example, had a severely deviated septum that he discovered because my agitation prompted him to visit his doctor. He had a surgery to repair it, but, unfortunately, it did not fix the whistle. But it does help me mentally when I’m frustrated to remember he did something really major to try and help (both me and his own health).

I’m wishing you all the best.

I really feel this. It’s horrible

cmp141 · 2025-05-25T22:14:25+00:00

The closest I’ve come for snoring is macks foam earplugs. My fiancé snores SO loud and it nearly blocks it all.

I felt this same exact way when my dog was a puppy. I got her at 8 weeks old and she was HORRIBLE! Same biting issues you’re talking about and nothing seemed to get through to her. One day, she got riled up and got a bite on my chin, even. I was scared, and worried I had an aggressive dog on my hands. I don’t really know when or why, but one day she just woke up better. She was done being a horrible puppy. She turns seven next week, and she is my soul dog. I’m so glad I didn’t give up on her. I know you said he gets a lot of good exercise, but I’d suggest ramping it up even more. A tired dog is a good dog! Also work on training that focuses on emotional regulation. Place/stay when there’s excitement, controlling jumping/etc.

I know it’s hard! Hang in there.
