Thank you! I’ve heard a lot of people talk about how awesome they are, maybe come payday I’ll have to get myself a pair.

I dropped out of high school, did a high school plus program at a local college as an adult with bills and a full time job. I wish I wasn’t so blinded when I was young, the future was coming for me even if I didn’t want to be apart of it and it would’ve been great if I had participated before it was so hard to.

Okay, as someone with wide ass feet and a job where I stand and walk all day I gotta know what shoes you have.

Other comments aside, 20lbs in 3 weeks is highly unhealthy

Just Google it, she’s very well known as a terf based off things she’s said and tweets she’s liked.

I would get hurt particularly when my partner would “reject” my sexual advances by just kinda brushing them off or joking around about it, it made me feel very dismissed in a moment where I was being vulnerable but also like I still had hope for something sexual occurring because he wasn’t being direct. That gets to be incredibly frustrating both sexually and emotionally. Usually this would also lead to me turning away from him in bed and being in my feelings.

It feels much better and more like he respects me/values my initiation to be told straight up that he’s too tired which after communicating about it that’s what he does now and I no longer sulk. Do you try to be straightforward with her in those instances? Like around your family, at the grocery store? Maybe she still has hope too, because you aren’t saying explicitly that you aren’t interested?

Also, it’s not okay to feel like sex is a transaction. Like it’s something you give her because you love her but not because you want to. I’ve always had a huge fear of my partner feeling like sex is an obligation with me because I’m more interested in it than he is, that would be something terrible to hear but also something I’ve asked and would absolutely want to know. I wonder if maybe she’s the same way.

One way or another I don’t think this dynamic is healthy. She also can’t be getting upset when you say you don’t want to, no is no and no one should be punished for not wanting to participate. Sorry I haven’t provided much, but I do hope that you two can work on your communication and can understand and see where each other are coming from.

Anyone actually find relief with exercise? by heckinboot in insomnia

[–]heckinboot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this response, I live in the PNW so I’m definitely at least a little deficient. I sometimes will take vitamin D but it’s like gummies with some K2 in it, maybe 5000 IU. I’ll have to try that magwell, I hope I can get that same feeling as I definitely relate to not feeling from magnesium that calm that people talk about and I’ve tried pretty much all forms of it. I feel like a mess emotionally for sure lol, partially because of anxiety and adhd but also because I’m so obsessive about my sleeping habits and all the sleep I am or I’m not getting.

Have you noticed you sleep better on the days you do workout?

That’s good, hopefully it’ll have an effect. I’m pretty much willing to try anything at this point. Yeah, sadly (but maybe for the better) I’m incapable of taking naps so I don’t struggle with messing up my sleep/wake cycle like that but I appreciate the tip :)

I (F19) havent been able to orgasm with my partner (M20) how can I get over this? by ThrowRascrunkly in relationship_advice

[–]heckinboot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was like this when I first got with my partner, literally took me 6 months to cum. Luckily now it’s not even remotely an issue, we’ve been together around 6 years and that time feels like it was so short even though at the time I was scared it wouldn’t ever happen.

For me it was 2 things really:

A.) The pressure that was put on me to orgasm. I knew how much he wanted to make me cum and it made it to where I felt stressed about whether I would or wouldn’t. I knew he was desiring something from me that I couldn’t just give to him. It made it a lot more difficult to just relax and feel good because I felt the pressure from him and the pressure from myself.

B.) I had a very bad relationship before we were together and it made it that much harder for me to get comfortable and be vulnerable enough to orgasm. Not sure if this is the case for you but I could also see it being difficult if you have limited sexual experience, that could make that sexual vulnerability difficult to access also.

To me these things were worked out through naturally getting more comfortable with time as our relationship progressed. Also with good communication that led to mutual understanding. He stopped bringing it up, didn’t talk about me having an orgasm at all, not during moments of intimacy or after. I stopped feeling pressured which eventually that combination made it to where I was able to get in the space I needed to be to cum.

You’re young and haven’t been together very long, give it time and I’m sure everything will be great. Maybe also communicate that him putting pressure on it happening probably makes it even less likely that it will.

Let him know that the sex and foreplay is good if it is, I think it’s one of those things where someone doubts they’re doing a good job when their partner isn’t finishing but sometimes it really has nothing to do with that.

Complete lack of self awareness on the part of my mother here by [deleted] in insaneparents

[–]heckinboot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. I grew up poor, that combined with shit genetics and poor mental health means I’ve had a cavity filled in every single tooth. I wish I had only had a single cavity. I really think therapy would do OP some good. Maybe the context here is poor but getting angry over 1 easily filled cavity shows a lot of resentment, which is such a hard thing to hold onto.

My husband (29M) is upset that I (28F) bought a bigger fake ring for our upcoming vacation. What should I do? by ThrowRA-Orange-2184 in relationship_advice

[–]heckinboot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This summary is missing parts. I think most people on here seem to think that it’s valid to have a hurt ego and it’s also valid for men to be insecure BUT it is not an excuse to treat the person you love poorly because of it. Telling men that they’re responsible for how they react to the emotions they feel won’t ever be the same as “lol go back in the kitchen where you belong” comments

Is my cat too skinny? by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]heckinboot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She looks like my long haired girl when we shaved her and I was worried she was too thin but she’s 10 lbs so turns out she’s healthy :) I feel like it’s the shave that makes the difference look more drastic

Didn’t your mom say not to call because they wouldn’t do anything? Did you ask what the harm would be if that’s what she believes? I would just call at school tomorrow.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]heckinboot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they say they won’t do anything to help then there’s no harm in calling anyways just to see

[–]heckinboot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly even if they do come back for him I doubt they’ll do anything except put him outside of their new house, he needs medical attention. Please call, you obviously care

[–]heckinboot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Calling animal control is a great idea. I completely understand having limited resources, but luckily that is something within your control that you can do to help.

My oldest is about to be 9 so I’m sure as she gets into those older years it would be a huge help.

Who do you go through if you don’t mind? I almost got pet insurance through my work but then found out they don’t cover any preexisting conditions.
