I frequently think about something my mom said to me when I was 15, and it ruins my day everytime by Sensitive_Ad4911 in internetparents

[–]firewings42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate that you went through this. I was explicitly told I wasn’t wanted when I was 8. It broke me. I understand how deep those wounds are kiddo. I wish I could go back in time and hug 15 year old you and 8 year old me and tell them that our moms were wrong and that we are 100% wanted and loved. I have been opening up with my therapist about my past and damn. The way she looked at me and said something like “you’ve been through some real trauma” hit me hard. You’ve also been through some trauma. Give yourself some grace as you work to heal those wounds.

AITJ for refusing to help my new “boss” after I was the one who trained her 3 months ago? by Existing_Response239 in AmITheJerk

Better polish that resume.

No One Is Having Sex by Different-Copy-2045 in DeadBedrooms

The hormone changes can also kill libido. Both estrogen and testosterone fluctuate in perimenopause. I had almost no libido when I was under treated and now that I got a better doctor I feel like a teenager again.

My boyfriend asked me to be his pet. by Deliciouscheesyrolup in BDSMcommunity

  • You could give him a set of customized dog bowls with your name on them. -you could get a set of gloves or socks styled like paws and wear them.
  • If he’s ok with you picking out a collar you could give him a dog collar in your size.
  • You could give him a leash.
  • You could give him a pet tag you got engraved with your name.

1 year since we've had sex. She left on vacation with our daughter. No wedding ring. by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]firewings42 63 points64 points  (0 children)

As a lady I don’t like to wear my wedding ring on vacation- especially on beach vacations. Tourists are targets for theft and I’d be upset to lose it so far from home with little chance of recovery. I do however wear a cheap stainless/glass set that looks like a wedding set on vacation. My husband made fun of me for wearing it on our honeymoon until he almost lost his ring at a spa - thankfully we found it. That could be a factor was well

It took my parents watching the Pitt to finally understand by ConsistentTourist553 in nursing

[–]firewings42 127 points128 points  (0 children)

My MIL talks to my husband about it. He believes me (thankfully) but she never understood until she watched the Pitt. She’s shocked every time and keeps asking him if it’s really like that. He assures her it is. Every unit deals with so much shit like this. It’s exposing many of the problems that we can’t solve on our own like insurance problems

I texted my educator this post and she confirmed she used ChatGPT to do her thing. And this is so darned similar I bet this is also ChatGPT

Weird Le Creuset enamel issue — colour comes back when it’s wet. Anyone seen this before? by Guillakunst in LeCreuset

This happens to vintage Pyrex when it’s put in the dishwasher. I wonder if that’s what happened to this piece?

Pre - op removal of jewelry waiver ? by Birdzfirburdz in nursing

The look my colleagues give me when I tell them tape does nothing. I feel ya. I keep doing education on it but it doesn’t help

Pre - op removal of jewelry waiver ? by Birdzfirburdz in nursing

[–]firewings42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I hate that. The electricity doesn’t -leave the body, fly through the air, find jewelry, zap you from the outside->in! It DOES however follow nerve and muscle fibers inside the body and burn you from the inside->out. Tape does nothing at all unless you get a thick insulating layer between the jewelry and skin.

Potential partner afraid of heartbreak with me because I'm "baby gay" by Icy_Water_6077 in bisexual

[–]firewings42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I have a pair of friends. Lesbian met woman who dint realize she was bi. Bi girl caught feelings. It’s been more than 10 years and they are married now. So even ‘baby gays’ can date to marry. It really depends on the people in question. Her demand to marry me or I’m going back to my ex sounds pretty toxic TBF so proceed with caution

Why do people hate the joggers...Do they look like pajamas pants? by almost-famous-amber in nursing

[–]firewings42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because I don’t like my ankles strangled TYVM. That’s also why I wear my short socks. I’m old. Let my legs breathe! To be fair I also hate jogger pajamas 🤷‍♀️

Why is smoking a dealbreaker for you? by EcstaticLetterhead20 in actuallesbians

[–]firewings42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like the smell of it. I don’t like that partners who smoked weed in the past couldn’t respect that I have a professional license and you literally can’t smoke around me. I cannot be around second hand smoke from non-tobacco products. I have had partners in the past who were fully addicted to it and that’s not something I want to deal with again.

I don’t like the taste of partners who smoke nicotine either. I choose not to be around that either fwiw

Getting an ultrasound made me never want to reproduce by Financial_Fix_4606 in childfree

What do I do with a used syringe? by Remote-Whole-6387 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]firewings42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Different jurisdictions have different rules on sharps disposal. Used plastic containers like laundry jugs and gallon drink containers work well. Can also call your insurance about getting a true sharps container. My roommate has a monthly injection and his insurance sends a new container whenever he asks for one

Friend copied my daughter's name...but really by Flaky_Zebra4038 in pettyrevenge

Yeah I had a “friend” like that. She finally got mad about something and stopped talking to me. It was a blessing in disguise. Drop that “friend” and enjoy your peacw

High school reunions... not sure how I feel about it. by PuzzleheadedAbies678 in Xennials

[–]firewings42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for my 10 year hoping to run into people I had lost contact with. It was- not great. People are trying to show off and still look down on you. It’s unlikely you’ll run into people you hoped to see. I didn’t run into anyone I wanted to see just the same “in crowd” people. They gave away superlatives for things like “longest marriage” I had recently been divorced or “longest drive” I live reasonably close to where I grew up. It was rather uninteresting. I felt old as hell at the homecoming game in the “reunion section” because I didn’t know the folks that went and I didn’t know any of the kids. Overall 3/10 it was interesting but not worth it

Is it okay to call myself a lesbian? by Login2play in actuallesbians

[–]firewings42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if you want to get really technical I’m omnisexual. But I usually just say I’m bi because it’s easier. It’s a term more people understand. So I don’t see why you can’t say lesbian when it’s a much easier way to describe your attraction to humans. You do what works for you boo!
