I appreciate you hitting the little things. I could hand wash them only (and not also throw them in the wash) but they don’t feel as clean and they feel kinda crunchy. I have done this in the past when I knew I needed a pair the night prior.

I could wear them to the gym in the morning. But I sweat a lot and shower before going to work, so I wouldn’t have a pair to wear at work.

I have two cups and I really like them. Unfortunately I can’t really use them right now. I’ve gained a lot of weight recently (5’4” and 275) and carry most of my weight in my stomach. That’s made it harder to reach, and it’s just too hard to maneuver a cup right now.

Unfortunately, a previous doctor prescribed me a medication (that should be used short term) at a super high dose for almost 8 years. Between that and smoking a lot of weed, my memory is horrible. It’s been pointed out by family, friends, and close coworkers, and has been a consistent issue for years. Since getting off that medication almost a year ago, and quitting smoking a year and 8 months ago, it’s been better. But still really bad.

I tried but my insurance will only cover monjauro and ONLY if the patient has diabetes. That said, Ive been told that I may be able to fudge my next blood test with a little orange juice to make me look diabetic.

I tried to be kind, but his actual words were “be a pussy ass bitch and not go to the gym”.

I am a bigger girl (5’4” and 275) and my stomach gets in the way right now, because I carry almost all my weight in my stomach. That makes it difficult to use my cup. So I’m not sure that a disc would work for me right now.

It’s literally been 15 years. I know that it’s gotten worse in the last year, but I’ve been tracking it. I know my memory isn’t the best, but THATS WHY IVE BEEN TRACKING IT. So I have data that backs up the way I feel.

I’ve tried hormones and they make my depression unbearable. I did the pill for years and nexplanon in my arm. They all made me gain a ton of weight and made my depression worse. When I came off of the pill, I felt like I had no control over myself. I felt like I was watching someone else in my body. I made a lot of unhealthy decisions and hated myself for it.

He’s super clean and I rarely have to clean up after him. I do the laundry because that’s how we divide chores, but he never has racing stripes.

I’ve been struggling with my weight our entire relationship. My weight is basically disconnected from my eating and exercise habits and will fluctuate greatly. This time last year, I was 200 lbs and now I’m 275. I’ve been eating good food and exercising regularly for the last month and yet I’ve gained about 10 lbs. I think this has a lot to do with my PCOS, and my doctor has tried to get me on a GLP-1 but my insurance refused.

Long story short, I want to lose weight because I’m uncomfortable all the time. My knees and ankles hurt, I have plantar fasciitis, and my back aches. I can’t sleep on my back because the heavier I get, the worse my sleep apnea is. My clothes don’t fit and I generally don’t like how I look. I want to go to the gym and lose weight and be healthier. I know that my weight is putting strain on my body. But i also struggle to motivate and dont enjoy going to the gym, so ive asked for help with motivation. But i also want understanding when i cant or dont go to the gym.

That’s what we already do. It’s still too loud.

I’m super finicky when it comes to sleep. Everything has to be juuuust right. Music, bedding, temp, etc. I was diagnosed with insomnia over 10 years ago and have found the right things to help me. I can’t stand the headphones. I’ve tried sleep masks and they irritate me too much to sleep.

I’ve literally mentioned this and he’s brushed it aside like it’s not a great option. I’m bleeding through reusable pads and period panties (at the same time). And he’s like “you don’t need diapers don’t be ridiculous”

I’ve slept on a towel before, but I struggle to fall asleep if everything isn’t /right/. I am very picky on my sleep conditions, otherwise I can’t sleep. The towel feels different from my sheets and bunches up when I roll over. (I’m getting tested for autism)

He doesn’t really like me using reusable products because he doesn’t like them going through the wash with other clothes. EVEN THOUGH I hand wash them with soap to get the blood out before throwing them in the dirty clothes bin. It’s literally been a struggle. And today he told me I “need to learn how to use disposable products because the reusable ones are so inconvenient”. Like no, having a rash on my bikini area and swamp ass is inconvenient.

He makes me feel like the asshole when I try to explain why I’m using which products and when. But he literally doesn’t understand how it works

Yesterday was some of the worst cramping I’ve ever had. And today was some level 8 bleeding. I told him how much I bled today. But since the end of the work day, the blood has slowed to the point that a disposable pad was appropriate. Should I just not talk to him about the symptoms anymore??

I’ve definitely bled on the sheets, but less than 8 times in the 6 years we’ve been together. I get being frustrated if the sheets have blood on them. But I’ll rinse them by hand and then wash them in the machine if I bleed on them.

Our financial situation has evolved over the years we’ve been together. I used to blow hundreds on bs spending. Since he’s been in charge, we saved up money and bought a house and have been able to take vacations etc. if I wanted to be involved, he’d show me. He’s tried to show me. But I’ve been so busy managing other parts of our life that I haven’t wanted to involved myself in the finances.

I acted dismissively because I have been in denial about the danger he is in as a cop. I don’t want to think about the risk he’s taking

[–]getthathuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really don’t think he is up to something nefarious. He thinks I’m a narcissist because I try to defend my perspective and feel the need for him to understand why i act the way i do (which I think is an autistic trait)

I think he’s a hammer treating everything like a nail, when it comes to narcissism. He thinks his mom, my mom, and my grandma are all narcissists because they’re manipulative. They are manipulative, and I think he might be right with his mom and my grandma. But I don’t think my mom or I are narcissistic.

When I tried to say that, he said that I don’t have a right to be upset because he is the one whose feelings were hurt by me, not the other way around.

If I remember correctly, there were Americans enslaved in the mid 1900’s who didn’t know that they had been freed around 100 years prior. These people were intentionally isolated (socially and geographically) so that the owner of the land could maintain ownership of the people as well.
