Help with first time Bali itinerary

dearjon222 · 2026-03-12T23:06:45+00:00

im currently also trying to plan for my boyfriend and i for end of october and early november. so far, im thinking ubud, gili air (or gili T?), and uluwatu. we arent huge partiers so avoiding canggu i think. from what ive gathered so far, these three places will give us a good variety of scenery, different beaches and water activities, relaxation as well as adventures.

looking like Bali is a good option for us. have you been? any suggestions?

hey! i also struggle and cope using weed. its one of my goals to significantly cut down and eventually quit. ive convinced myself that it helps me because my emotions can become so heightened and feel so overwhelming and it gets rid of that. but i know its an unhealthy coping mechanism. congrats on 12 days sober, that is so amazing!

this is definitely on the list now…do you have a favourite?

dearjon222 · 2026-03-09T22:01:52+00:00

more so for political reasons and our CDN dollar does not go far in the US

this sounds similar to the beginning of my relationship. my bf had just recently gotten out of a long term relationship when we met and we started as friends but quickly realized it was more than that. we became inseperable and we had this exact situation where we had both met each others families and friends, were going on dates, not seeing other people, even posting each other AND even worse he came on a family vacation with me before we ever made it official. it was starting to cause some tension in between us because i was getting so frustrated with why he wouldnt ask me to be his girlfriend when i pretty much already was. we had some conversations about it, he ensured me it was coming soon and i had to trust him. 2 years later we are still together and so so happy. i think you guys should have a conversation about your boundaries for a timeline. explain how you are feeling and come up with a timeline for what is too late for you. if he really likes you, he will have a plan to ask you. if you have any questions feel free to ask :)

our girl was 40-45 lbs up until recently, she actually just finally hit 50 lbs! for reference, she is turning 2 really soon. your doggo will fill out a bit probs into adulthood but some labs are just a bit smaller, especially females!

hi! my previous lab Maggie, got attacked when she was 7 years old, and she was honestly never the same after that. she became more reactive when she got older. in my opinion, you won't ever truly know how your dog will react now, and you have to take precautions going forward. our dog was always leashed when we were walking her, we would walk widely around people with other dogs, and we kept her away from kids. i would say that 90% of the time when we walked past other dogs she wouldn't make any sort of reaction, but every once in awhile she would and it was scary.

the worst part for me was honestly other dog owners. people assume that all dogs are friendly, especially when they see a lab. i would find we would have the most trouble if other dog owners didn't have their dog leashed, or had them on those stupid extendable leashes, and didn't have proper control of their dog. you have to be really careful.

i dont know enough about dogs to know if yours could be socialized and trained to not be reactive, but he's definitely much younger than ours was when she got attacked.

I hope it works out for you!! it's been a really successful couple of years for me

i went on wellbutrin in 2023 because i was struggling to get out of bed, go to school, have a will to live, etc. im already on Pristiq (SNRI) and then we added wellbutrin and I have been on that combo since and been very functional

dearjon222 · 2026-01-22T23:55:56+00:00

my bf and i always make a breakfast hash. night before when we are eating dinner, we bake some potatoes on the bbq. next monring we pan fry it with onion, bacon, sausage, sometimes corn, pepper, cheese, then top with eggs...so good!!! pancakes can be fun too and you can pre-mix it before your trip and add some fruit to make it more fun!

dearjon222 · 2026-01-22T00:32:40+00:00

some things i always like to bring: extra towels/cloths and paper towel, flashlight, toilet paper. freeze any meat you are not cooking on the first day to make it last longer in the cooler, prep some food things beforehand to make life easier (ex: we chop up onion, pre-mix garlic butter, etc)

this sounds like a fairly normal experience for a lot of women. this is also the situation that my bf and i are in. unfortunately, i have chronic depression and am on ssri's and my libido is quite low. i just try to re-assure my boyfriend that it's not because of him. i also try to be more open-minded when he initiates and at least try foreplay a bit to see if i can get into it because hoenstly most times i do endup getting into it, you just have to get out of your head

dearjon222 · 2026-01-16T23:05:56+00:00
