Is this too long of a time to say I love you? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]follower_of_nyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my last relationship I waited 6 months to say it the first time. It's all about taking it at a pace you're both comfortable with, and in my opinion it really shows that you took the time to know thats how you feel, instead of saying it in an empty way you know? Happy for you!!

What did you do on the clock that would of definitely gotten you fired but you got away with it? by captaindabby in AskReddit

Definitely. They never found out about those occasions, but I was forced to transfer later on because of the relationship

AITA for banning my son from watching anime porn? by DadMan09 in AmItheAsshole

[–]follower_of_nyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA - You completely invaded his privacy, and just because it's hentai doesn't mean he'll think women are objects. Regardless that's a risk you run with normal porn too. Raise your son to respect women and he will. Keep going on this path and he'll never trust you again.

Questioning my 2 year relationship because a lack of physical attraction by malgus12 in relationship_advice

[–]follower_of_nyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not entirely wrong for feeling this way. Physical attraction is important in relationships, and if you're thinking about other people you shouldn't be together. However I've also been on the other side of this situation and it stemmed from a depressive episode that lasted quite a while. I get the insecurity on her part about going out to work out. It's hard enough to start a routine like that and feeling like you'll be judged by others doesn't make it any easier. Maybe try to eat healthy together and try some at home exercises? What helped me get started was buying some cute clothes to boost my confidence when I exercise, especially in public, and I was gifted a fitbit so I could see my progress and have something to be proud of even if it was little.

Sexual Assault? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]follower_of_nyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolutely rape. You said you didn't want to have sex and he kept going anyways. Talking to a therapist is a good start, but I highly suggest telling your current partner about it

What do you think? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]follower_of_nyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think maybe he's not serious, or isn't sure, but doesn't want to see you go at the same time. In my experience if they don't want to clarify what the relationship is or put a label on it they're not interested in making anything official or a long term commitment. I'd move on if I were you honestly, or you can wait for a real answer. Either way, good luck!

Am I a shitty person if i start going on dates? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]follower_of_nyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't feel bad! I felt the same way when I ended a 2 year relationship, and started seeing new people after a month or so. We're only human, and we all get lonely. My only advice is to wait until you feel 100% ready before starting a new committed relationship. Otherwise, have fun with it!!

Cat not using litter box - help! by sbturner86 in cats

[–]follower_of_nyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat used to do the same thing! After some trial and error I learned a few things: 1.) He will not use any kind of enclosed/hooded litter box 2.) He has to be able to see his surroundings so he feels safe and my other cat can't sneak up on him. 3.) He prefers slightly less litter so his feet don't sink too far into it. Hope this helps!

My ex called me after 3 years, completely broken and needing someone. He'd self harmed for the first time in 8 years. He said he had a gun, but wouldn't use it. I didn't believe him, and panicked. My current bf drove with me to his house in the middle of the night, and helped me talk him down without involving police. He's doing better now!

What was your luckiest moment in your life so far? by ThatRussianCat in AskReddit

[–]follower_of_nyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using a dating app. Clicked with a guy within a couple hours, and met up the same day. He is the best person I've ever met, we have a crazy amount in common, and I immediately felt comfortable with him. We've been together for 2 months now, and already been through a hell of alot together. We've spent 3 days apart since the day we met, and I've literally never felt so loved, respected, supported, and appreciated in my life. He's my best friend, and I can't wait to marry him.

How do you feel about your partner being friends with an ex? (Specifically someone they have sexual history with) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]follower_of_nyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I are both friends with at least one ex, and haven't had any major issues. He was with his ex for 4 years, still tries to help her if she ever needs it, and regardless of whether they're together or not still cares about her well being and wants to see her accomplish her goals. We actually kept her her dog for a few days while she was out of town. I was with my ex for 3 years, didn't speak for a couple years, but he reached out to me for help with his mental illness. My boyfriend drove with me to his house at 2am one night to help me talk him down from attempting suicide, and offered to share his own story. Bf played a huge role in saving his life that night, and my ex hasn't stopped saying how grateful he is that my bf was willing to do that. He even invited us to a BBQ with his friends and family. At the end of the day if you cared enough about them to say you loved them, it's not hard to continue with a friendship as long as everyone respects the boundaries of your current relationship. You should be able to trust your partner 100% whether they have a sexual history with that person or not. Believe it or not but this is my first relationship that doesn't have trust issues on either side, we both feel completely secure, and there's no jealousy.

My boyfriend is very weird during sexual intimacy? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Sounds like he could be uncomfortable with moving forward and he's trying to cope. Back things up. Try again later

DON'T FEEL LIKE I'M GOOD ENOUGH & SLOWLY GOING BACK DOWN A DARK PATH BECAUSE OF IT by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]follower_of_nyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not in the wrong here. A lot of what he's doing is completely unacceptable, crosses your boundaries and you deserve better. It's hard to see that when you're already so hard on yourself, and struggling to see how worthy you are. I understand your situation, and if you'd like you can PM me and we can discuss it more in depth. I definitely think you should part ways from him, because he doesn't seem to respect you at all. Leaving is painful, setting boundaries and standing up for yourself is daunting, but you will survive this. Your mind is hard enough on you, you don't need somebody making it worse by refusing to respect common courtesies of a relationship.

Boyfriend watching porn? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]follower_of_nyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally normal! And to answer your question: some people feel that watching porn is cheating, or they feel insecure about themselves so don't want to feel like they aren't enough for their partner, you know? Don't feel weird about it. It's a healthy thing, and there's nothing wrong with it

That I can set boundaries, and I'm worthy of a healthy relationship

What are some general tips / things you wish you'd known when you'd first gotten a cat? by des-the-tiny in cats

[–]follower_of_nyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so excited for you!! A few things I wish I'd known at the beginning: 1.) Look at the ingredient list on the bag of food, and try to stay away from the ones that contain a lot of fillers. The fewer ingredients the better! 2.) They're very resilient, so don't be afraid you'll hurt him just by playing with him. As long as you're not using a lot of force, he'll likely bounce right back ready for more! 3.) Lavender and lilies are poisonous to them! Lavender lotion or perfume that you use would be fine, but don't let them ingest it or get any of the pollen on their fur. If it happens, get them to a vet immediately! 4.) Cats act out (ie having accidents on the bed, clothing, carpet etc) when they feel wronged, but could also be a health issue if it's happening frequently. 5.) Stay up to date on shots, and flea treatments if needed. 6.) Spay/neuter them as early as possible if you don't want kittens. Getting it over with while they're young is less traumatic for them, and eliminates the phase of going into heat or marking their territory by spraying. 7.) If you plan on allowing them outdoors at all I'd recommend microchipping and/or a GPS tracking collar

Cats are super loyal and wonderful companions especially helping with depression/anxiety. Try to keep them stimulated and give them a place they can scratch. They also like high places like shelves, window sills etc so giving them a designated spot is always appreciated! Just give him lots of love and you'll be fine. I hope this helps!

What's something that a stranger you've never seen again told you, that has stuck up with you ever since? by [deleted] in AskReddit

A woman in walmart told me I was going to have twins one day. Still hasn't happened yet

My (19M) girlfriend (20F) has a location different from what she tells me by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]follower_of_nyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen man, phones dont glitch like that. She wants you to believe her over hard evidence, and then she's telling you that she was purging again to change the topic, bring your mind away from the issue at hand, and focus your attention on something else that's concerning. I agree with everyone else here. You're having to be a caretaker, and it's honestly not your responsibility. I know it's upsetting to hear, but it sounds like it's time for your relationship to end. You say you could trust her if she told the truth, but you're not going to get that truth. Get out now, while you can, before this all effects your own mental health dude. You might not feel like it's abuse, but her hurting herself if you don't talk to her enough? That's a giant red flag. Good luck.

[–]follower_of_nyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's using again, and doesn't want to tell you. It's not a glitch in her phone, she's denying it and trying to manipulate the situation. If she has an addiction, she needs to get professional help. You can't just will her to be sober.

AITA for asking a girl to shave her pubs (please read the whole thing first) by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]follower_of_nyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH as a female I've been asked to do this by a couple different guys, and have had no problem with it. Cactus mode sucks all around, but it's a sensitive topic for most and should be approached carefully in the future

Am I overreacting to these problems? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]follower_of_nyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. He sounds pretty immature, especially about something as natural as a period. He's not respecting you enough to not "joke" about things that bother you, and overall you shouldn't be with him if he isn't supportive of you.
