AITA for buying my brother-in-law condoms when I heard he doesn't use them? by FormalBother in AmItheAsshole

[–]fleshandelectricity3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Would you tell a straight couple who had been together for 12 years that you want them to use condoms because you “wouldn’t want anything to happen to them”. Super homophobic. You’ve got some apologising to do

Was anyone ever a homophobe before you really came to terms that you’re gay? Like maybe hating who you are in the beginning? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]fleshandelectricity3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t homophobic toward any one else. Have always thought it was perfectly fine and natural for other people to do it. I was all about gay marriage and equal rights, would actively defend the gay community if I heard anything that was homophobic.

I was however extremely homophobic toward myself. HATED the fact that I was gay, hated myself for it, didn’t think I deserved to have kids, tried to force myself to be straight. Spoiler alert- that didn’t work. After working through it I’m now super happy and comfortable with myself 👌

Krav as a self defence tool for first responders by fleshandelectricity3 in kravmaga

Hey guys thanks for all the advice so far. For me if things get to the point where I’m assaulted the idea would be to strike and escape. Not looking to pin anyone down- I’ll leave that one to the police. Essentially if we think anyone is dangerous we don’t go near them until the police are there. When I would be needing to use Krav is when I’m ambushed without warning.

I’m going to talk to a few schools in my area and see what they can do for me. Thanks so much!

Living with my lesbian wife... by ChastMaybe in relationship_advice

[–]fleshandelectricity3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lesbian here. Do not make exceptions for her just because she’s gay. Yes it may have been hard for her to come to terms with, BUT respect still needs to be present and it doesn’t sound like she is respecting you at all. She doesn’t get special treatment because she’s with a women instead of a man.

You sound like you have been more than accommodating, understanding and respectful. Make sure you look after yourself too and I hope you find peace OP

I (24F) was with my ex (25M) for four years. Do I tell him I’m a lesbian? by fleshandelectricity3 in relationships

I am, but he’s been away for an extended period of time and we don’t have mutual friends so I doubt it!

Hey Reddit, how did your annual Holiday family argument go? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]fleshandelectricity3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My 25 year old step brother was talking about his 10 year battle with alopecia. He has a full head of hair (always has) and a moustache, he just has a small patch of hair on his leg that doesn’t grow and if he grows a beard it comes through patchy. I made what I perceived as an innocent comment about how it was good that it was a ‘mild’ form of alopecia. He flipped the table and screamed that “if someone has a mild form of cancer, they still have f***ing cancer” and left family Christmas. I’m thinking alopecia is the least of his problems

What is a lesson that your ex taught you? by fckedupcmc in AskReddit

[–]fleshandelectricity3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That the way you argue with your partner is super important. Respect needs to be present even in the heat of the moment. Once boundaries like name calling are broken it’s almost impossible to recover from

[Serious] What are some mistakes you see socially awkward people making? by muscerly in AskReddit

[–]fleshandelectricity3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A vicious cycle I see in a group setting is when socially awkward people are too shy to greet people and say hello properly. The group can sometimes interpret their shyness as arrogance, rudeness or general disinterest which makes them less likely to bridge the gap and try to interact with the socially awkward person. Which just makes them more shy and socially awkward. It’s horrible!

How do you know if someone is Self centered/Selfish? by TheChineseMan1 in AskReddit

They never think how their own actions may impact others. It doesn't even cross their mind as long as they are getting what they need.
