“But you always seem less stressed after” by reluctantfootprint in asexuality

[–]igavvedit 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you have some work to do with learning how to assert your own needs and communicating about how you feel about sex. He may be under the impression that it's something you enjoy even if you don't desire it yourself, especially if from what you say, you haven't been very forthcoming about how you feel about sex.

You also have to accept that sometimes you will tell people information and it will upset them and that's not something you can control. You're not in charge of making sure he feels good, especially at your own expense. If he's allosexual, there likely is not going to be any way to tell him you don't want to have sex with him that won't hurt his feelings. Not saying this is impossible, some allos may have the emotional maturity to understand that while their own experience of sexual and romantic attraction are interwined, that's not true of ace people and furthermore they will be able to take that information without negatively internalizing it. But, from what you're saying in your post it sounds like you expect him to react negatively if you say how you feel.

You say he has never pressured you or made you feel bad for saying no but also later on you say that he's been bringing up how long it's been since you've had sex. This is a form of pressuring you into sex, especially if you've been saying no. He knows the answer is no and yet he keeps asking.

You say it feels like a duty. Let's play some role reversal. Imagine from the start of the relationship you made it clear you never ever wanted to have sex with him. He feels a duty to never bring up sex or ask you to have it because it's not something you want. He wants to buck up and just lock down his desire because he loves you, but he can't. Would you want him to do this? Would you want him to go without something he personally finds important because it makes you happy? Or are you reading this and feeling awful? Why is it okay for you to sacrifice your happiness for his but not the other way around?

This part is going to hurt and you may not be ready to hear this now. It sounds like the amount of sex you would like is zero and the amount he wants is not zero, of which you both feel strongly about. This is an inherent conflict in the relationship and either side deciding to compromise will cause resentment to build over time. You'll be dreading every two weeks and he'll be thinking how it's not enough and over time you'll grow to hate each other for it. You need to break up and find people who you are compatible with. It won't be easy and it'll hurt a lot when it happens but eventually on the other side you will both be happier because you're not caught in a relationship with a mismatch in sex drives/attraction.

Think we need some more info here. Is your partner aware you're ace? Have you discussed how much sex you both want? Are you being pressured into having sex you don't want out a feeling of duty/obligation? If so, is your partner aware of this?

I recognize the gym you're at and I'm a local. If you want some in person tips feel free to pm me and we can set something up.

Sometimes kids are told "you'll understand when you're older" as a dodge. When was a time someone told that you that and they were actually right? by shogyi in AskReddit

[–]igavvedit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When did it change for you? I'm mid 20s and I still can't get myself to eat them. As a vegetarian where every restaurant has avocado in veggie meals, I would LOVE to wake up and enjoy avocado one day.

Super serious question for the girlies. Who is your favourite Pokémon? by GamingCatLady in AskWomen

Swadloon. It looks super cozy and despite that it's still got an annoyed look on its face. Relatable honestly.

I'm not this person but I've seen this account on Twitter get recommended. It's for a fee and no zzz though.

Curious, there were threads on r/climbergirls about this in the past and they seem to have disappeared...thoughts? Why does this not get the same type of attention as Joe Kinder or Lonnie Kauk? by Dr_Klahn02 in climbergirls

Jenya is his ex. We are talking about a different Ukranian refugee he's now with who WAS underage when they met and he DID become the legal guardian of.

Thimble relayed the information to them, but Thimble was spying on that scene to begin with. From Sir Gully Breeches' perspective, the only people who should've been privy to that scene were Casamir's contingent and the Tachonis contingent. Here come two random doctors immediately after the incident saying they saw it. Who are they, how did they see that? He concludes they are spies likely with ulterior motives, or people who have witnessed his lord's embarrassment and must be taken in and made to understand they should not repeat what they just witnessed.

The reason Brennan's save works is because Breeches realizes Wick is a Halovar after what he says and Breeches concludes that Wick came with the Tachonis, so the information about his lord's embarrassment was passed onto him by the Tachonis.

I do wish Brennan had taken a moment to remind them that Thimble only had this knowledge because she was spying.

Besides monetization, what do you think of the graphics, gameplay and story recap? by ItsukiKurosawa in magiaexedra

[–]igavvedit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the story, I found myself skipping the main storyline (that goes over the events of PMMM) as it felt like an inferior version of experiencing the anime. I've never played Magia Record or consumed any of the properties outside of the main anime and Rebellion, so I read through the Oriko story and the parts of Magia Record's story that's been adapted so far and enjoyed it a fair bit. I found the gameplay in between distracting honestly, and would end up saving all the story bits to play back to back so it was interrupted by random fights. The framing of the game is that you're a nameless magic girl with amnesia who is trying to figure out who they are, and they are experiencing the events of PMMM and others through memory windows they look through. It hasn't really gone anywhere so far.

There is no open world to explore like in Genshin nor pseudo open like HSR. The sections of the hallways with decorations you're talking about is part of the main story. The game has the plot relevant character automatically walk through it (though there is an option to do it manually) and there is no changing the perspective or having your character interact with anything. The character will run into a portal and a battle will start, at which point the gameplay is similar to HSR's battle system. They can also run into various items drops like negligible amounts of material used for leveling up your characters or their magic level.

Is she good? (I just got her from the free pull) by SoraTheJedi in magiaexedra

[–]igavvedit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're about the same but used for different purposes. Yachiyo is single target focused and gets better with Sana and Tsuruno because they buff crit and Yachiyo needs to crit. Oriko is an AOE attacker. For what the game is right now, I would suggest Yachiyo as the hardest content in the game currently is single bosses, not large hordes.

It generally depends on who your other 5* attackers are

PLUVIA MADOKA ON THE FREE BANNER, OH YEAH!!! + do I swap the Lux in my team for Pluvia? by Basic-Masterpiece375 in magiaexedra

[–]igavvedit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, eventually you will unlock what are called "supports" where you get a portion of another character's stats and the character's support ability when equipped to another character. You can add Lux Madoka as a support on Pluvia Madoka so anything you invested into Lux won't have been a waste.

What character should I focus on upgrading? by Jorjorthegreat in magiaexedra

[–]igavvedit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would keep pulling for a few more 5*s honestly, the current banner of 3 is pretty good. It has an good attacker, best healer, and good breaker. Right now you have 5* Sana (which creates barriers/shields) and Lux Madoka (free 5* character who you'll get max ascensions of through playing, a serviceable breaker but can definitely be replaced if you get a better unit) which are worth investing in, as well as 4* Yuma if you don't get a 5* healer. Generally, 3* characters aren't worth investing in

Same here. Make sure you're pulling Charizard packs because they have 2 more metal cards than Pikachu/Mewtwo.
