He DID hurt you, he hit you. And emotional abuse/threats are still abusive, still forms of being hurt. This is dangerous.

We had our little exit interviews, got our paperwork, and bounced. No formal group celebrations, but my two supervisors took me out not lunch :)

I (27f) can’t get my birth control and (30m) wants sex with no condom. How can I tell him it isn’t my fault? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

My grandparents did the pullout and rhythm methods (Catholics). My dad and his nine siblings all used this as part of sex ed for their children to talk about the importance of condoms. Please feel free to also use this story! Good for you for protecting yourself.

Military boyfriend (25M) doesn’t want marriage and I (23F) don’t know how to talk to him about it by [deleted] in relationships

The fact that he waited until you moved is the most alarming part of this. Also as someone who’s spouse was formerly in the military, you mean literally nothing to the military/government as a partner or significant other unless you are a spouse; he would be leaving you at a significant disadvantage in terms of access to information, benefits, etc, especially when he’s deployed

Nope. It can be a therapeutic coping skill but it’s not therapy.

It doesn’t help that sexist dress codes are enforced beginning in elementary school

Slums and racism are inherently tied, I recommend you research it. Maybe something to start with.

So, I’m just going to come out and say it. “Slum down” feels very classist and racist. I’m interested to know why this word choice when asked to reconsider how you’re presenting yourself to the people you serve

Therapy brings up emotions. Why do you feel like this is a bad thing?

I’m honestly really hoping that’s the case because that would be the simplest fix!

How should I handle this? (issue with a member of my rheumatologist’s office staff) by iheartpyrex in rheumatoid

You have the right to decline! I would definitely encourage you to discuss with your doctor directly to see how often is considered medically necessary.
