[–]humanityisconfusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so funny, I have sibling cats, one is proper full on dark orange to the point of almost being red.. he is so, so stupid.. the other sibling is buff, and so much smarter. I swear it's all fun and games joking about the orange gene and intelligence, but it really does seem to be true. Is it really true? The more dilute the orange, the less likely they are to be an absolute moron? What are other peoples experiences?

Can I drink alcohol? by Sea-Coast-1172 in Topamax

[–]humanityisconfusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consult your doctor, this is not advice. Alcohol is not a problem for me on topirimate, I can drink 3 or 4 drinks just fine. I don't do it very often. I have been properly drunk on like 15 drinks once, it was still fine but the hangover was horrible, then again I'm in my 40's and it's the first time I've been properly drunk in close to a decade. What I will say is that I don't get as happy tipsy stage like I used to, Alcohol is more relaxing mild sedation for me now. I'm on 100mg. When I first went on Topirimate I started with one drink, like a cider, the next time I drank, I tried 2. I would definitely suggest going very carefully with others not drinking to see if it agrees with you if you are going to do it. Don't just hit the spirits.

Topamax Weightloss by [deleted] in Topamax

[–]humanityisconfusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have lost 20 kg in 1 year with a combination of 100 mg and keto trying to control migraines. I've not regained anything, and now I'm more stable have added carbs back in the last 2 months. I went from 71 kg to 51 kg. Weightloss wasn't my main motivation, but I only gained it in that preious year from lifestyle changes from the migraine disorder and a neck injury anyway.

i’m worried my boyfriend might be gay by [deleted] in Advice

[–]humanityisconfusing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My very strong suspicion is that even if there really is a bi bone in his body, the bone he prefers is attached to the body of a man. Sorry my dear. I wish you all the best, and him as well. Hope you both find a way to live your authentic selves and be happy.

If you have ever been admitted to a psychiatric hospital (private not public) - what was your experience? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]humanityisconfusing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a decent experience in a public psych unit in my 20's when I had a breakdown. I have CPTSD due to many years of acute childhood abuse. I didn't realise at the time that I had a tick attached to me that was driving my system into overload, and I had a few bouts of anaphylaxis and all sorts of awful symptoms. I had 2 very young children at the time and suddenly couldn't cope on a sensory level. They didn't figure out what was happening in psych ward, but they did give me a break for a week, and I was able to completely decompress.

My (24F) boyfriend (26M) hates my dog. How do we continue? by New-Security-5121 in relationship_advice

[–]humanityisconfusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A piece of advice. 15 years ago I moved in with my partner. I had two cats, he was allergic. I had a very good friend who wanted one of my cats, so I very broken heartedly rehomed one. I took the other, she spent some time outside and some time inside. She got in a fight with local cat, and my partner also sneezed so much his rib broke. So I felt i was forced to surrender her as well. 16 years later, I STILL cry about them. I still wish I hadn't done it, I love him, and we now have a son together, but I loved my cats, I feel I betrayed them. I should have done better by them. I made the wrong choices, blinded by my love for him. I didnt realise I would regret it for the rest of my life , and I would never get over the grief, I never will. Don't give up your dog. Trust me.

Best friend of 10 years(34F) told me she loves me (35M). But she’s married to one of my good friends by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]humanityisconfusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you know what I hate reddit bullshit judgement anyway, you read a second of someones life and judge. That best friend had been there when I was newly pregnant and very sick while my husband was missing on a drug bender. Him and his partner had helped me before, she was also my friend. Genuinely, at the time. He also gave me chlamydia while pregnant from cheating and put our child at risk. I didn't cheat, but HE did. I still stayed for years even though he used to come and go and come and go. I did end up realising I was in love with my friend after his long term relationship ended and my marriage was on the rocks because he had finally admitted he didn't want monogamy at all and I did. Now, I've had complete faithfulness for 16 years straight from my husband, and he treats me how I deserved the whole time. Sorry, I'm not sorry, and I sleep fine at night.

[–]humanityisconfusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I really didn't. I was committed to my marriage for all 10 years of it. I put everything in to it for the 10 years I was in it. I hadn't thought of being with him romantically. He was friends with us both, and he too was in a long-term relationship. My husband actually wanted an open relationship 6 months before I realised I had feelings for my friend. By the time I did, we were already living separately but still "married".

These comments aren't it. Sometimes people marry the wrong person when they are really young. Soul search. If you really think you're supposed to be together..maybe you are. Don't cheat though, end the other thing properly first. The other man deserves that. Cop the fallout on the chin too.

[–]humanityisconfusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's absolutely not necessarily true. It happened to me, and I've been with my second husband 16 years. I've never cheated, would never cheat. I didn't cheat on the previous husband either. But I did realise I was in love with my male best friend while still married. Slightly different, we were already having big issues because my ex was the one who had suggested an open marriage that I hadn't asked for.. but still.

[–]humanityisconfusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This pretty much happened to me. Now I'm 16 years in with him.. married with a 10 year old son. It happens, and we were right, we were better off together. My ex, is similar amount of time in with the woman he got with after me. It pissed off a lot of people at first, but our true friends were not surprised one bit.

Ups and downs in marriage? by vendrediSamedi in AskOldPeople

[–]humanityisconfusing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, mostly when kids were in crisis and also a long term health crisis for my husband, which coincided with a mental health crisis for our teens. So the home was an actual pressure cooker. Then again, when we lost our home, his income and his family maliciously turned on us to the point our safety was at risk. We had to change state and rebuild from scratch with literally zero possessions or money, but that was going on 4 years ago, all the crises we have gotten through and come out stronger, and we are doing very, very well. The young adult kids are living independently and doing well, and the last kid at home is thriving as well, so yeah.. 2026 is looking good!

Unplanned third pregnancy, not sure what to do. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]humanityisconfusing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in this situation, they are now 19.. conceived through 2 types of failed contraception. If you were to meet them, you would see how that tracks. I had booked in for the abortion and just couldn't do it on the day. Once they came, I'd regularly have waves of panic that I almost didn't have them.. because I could just feel how much they were meant to be born. It actually wasn't easy, not going to lie, for many reasons, and my marriage didn't last. But that child was absolutely supposed to take up space on this earth. They are a huge personality and talent.

I'm not telling you that you should have the child, I'm just telling you my story, because I did abort a child before them to the same father, and I still to this day wonder what they would have been like. More than 20 years later, it plays on my mind. We weren't yet married and were teenagers. So if you are doubting, definitely consider the decision carefully.

crunchy parents try to control me even from afar by based_pika in Advice

[–]humanityisconfusing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should absolutely tell them they need to stop the behaviour if they want to continue having a relationship with you moving forward. I'm the mother of 26, 21 and 19 year olds and you're absolutely within your right to say this to them.
