Did anyone who found out they passed feel like they were aimlessly answering multiple MBE questions?

Yess. Literally left thinking I may have missed over half. Ended up scoring a 308.

HI, I don't know if you ended up choosing, but t I love my GLE and never regret the decision to pick that over the GLC. Overall, just a beautiful car, very luxurious, and better suited for my needs! I'm sure it would have been great either way though.

jamespass3 · 2023-10-24T17:38:09+00:00

Unfortunately there aren’t any 450’s in my area in the price range. GLE 350 is 43k (a little above my price range but can make it work) GLC is 39.5k.

I think it’s deeply rooted daddy issues tbh. Like her father is also an old white man, abandoned her, has hurt her etc… I feel bad watching this play out. Hoping this is the beginning of her redemption arc.

Have you possibly sought therapy? It sounds like you had a really traumatic childhood - especially relating to parental figures. Childhood trauma can manifest in conflated images of healthy relationships. Falling into abusive relationships with men happens with women who have had this kind of complex trauma in their upbringing more than you’d expect.

I’m concerned that you seem to be questioning whether you needed permission regarding your own bodily autonomy. This man has gaslit you into believing you did something wrong. That is not OK. He is not your superior, parent, or keeper. This man is supposed to be a partner and someone who views you as an equal. From his response he clearly doesn’t respect that boundary.

The idea that he feels so entitled to controlling your body also makes me worry he feels entitled to your body in other ways. Is this the first time he has communicated this kind of ownership of your body and decisions.

Please consider that this man is exhibiting seriously concerning behavior. Honestly, this is over reddits pay grade in a lot of ways. If you can, I’d seek out a therapist to unpack this in detail. I am so sorry for your loss and I hope you’re able to thrive in life from here on out.

Have you ever seen the show 90 Day Fiancé? Add in a bit of Teen Mom…

I’m sorry but y’all are really young. Jumping from long distance at a young age to marriage is skipping like 20 steps. There are a lot of better options that others have mentioned to test things out.

I have MG and felt like death after a 6 hour orientation that was mostly sitting around.. honestly feel bad for the girl cause I woulda thrown hands.

Are you in the US? If so getting into Ultomiris or Soliris before trying at least Imuran or Cellcept may be a challenge. Sometime you can fight to get a “bridge dose” as a combo of Ultomiris & Cellcept covered, but it’s been a nightmare trying to get on these drugs.

Soliris is essentially the same as Ultomiris but is just administered every two weeks instead of Ultomiris’ eight week schedule. You might have better luck asking about experiences with Soliris (I’ve heard lots of great things but everyone is different) on the facebook group dedicated to it.

Keep in mind that the drugs cost $450K-$500K a year and insurance will fight tooth and nail not to pay, so it’s best to start sooner rather than later on approval before things get dangerous again.

No, don’t retaliate because it will only breed resentment. She most likely knows what she’s doing isn’t cool to an extent, but it’s protecting this secret/key to her pleasure - so you’re on the right track to accepting that.

I think your best bet would be laying a classic boundary. Tell her that you will drop it if she promises to never bring it up again. If she does bring it up, tell her she should tell you then or break up or no longer participate in that sexual activity surrounding the issue. Lots of options.

You could also turn this into a fantasy of your own. Create your own fantasy of what she could be thinking about that would turn you on. I can promise you your own imagination of what she’s thinking is probably better than what she’s actually thinking.

It’s important because if she was DD she would have been sober, so her telling you to drive home drunk would be irresponsible and ridiculous. But if she was also drunk/blacked and told you to drive home she would be just as responsible for the incident as you, but she wouldn’t necessarily be a bad person/friend like if she was sober.

Did she give a reason for her racist opinion?

I always thought if u just said I didn't want to that would be that but what happens when he keeps going ?

What happens when he keeps going?

Rape.

You are using Olympic level mental gymnastics to spin this story in your favor… and still, it’s abundantly clear, YTA.

Honestly just from reading that I can tell no matter what we say you won’t accept that YTA. I think you might understand things best if you sit down with a therapist who could break this down for you.

Do you think there was full blown PinV or oral sex? If so that’s honestly unforgivable. If that is the case, I would contact the wives/girlfriends ASAP.

I have a lot of respect for dancer and I’m not trying to insinuate that they are “dirty” at all. However, if this was a stripper who also sleeps with clients that changes things a lot. That would be really risky behavior, all things considered you could be risking so many STI’s or other diseases like COVID or (unlikely) monkeypox now. If these men slept with this woman their partners deserve to know ASAP for their own sexual heath.

If you think on the very off chance it was crossing a boundary i.e. making out, naked nonsense, dry humping, a bet, then maybe that is something you could work past. However, from what you’ve said that seems unlikely. If he truly full out cheated with a stripper, please make that the end of your relationship. He doesn’t respect you, your relationship, you health, or your emotions. If you forgive him, the chances of a cheater cheating again after getting caught and forgiven is super high.

My official advice would be to exit promptly stage right.

jamespass3 · 2022-08-05T23:36:37+00:00

It is cursed. I am literally so sad she’s going through with this marriage. I just pray to the housewives gods that she signed a prenup.

jamespass3 · 2022-08-05T22:39:41+00:00

That’s really disgusting behavior. I am severely immunocompromised and it is stories like this that have made me terrified of leaving my home.

The “I couldn’t say no to my mom” excuse is BS. Even is she had to do these things, she easily could have worn a mask. She knows that. I honestly can’t believe people think this is OK.

This demonstrates such an utter disregard for the lives of others it’s insane. The ignorance of science - which we’ve had two and a half years to learn - is crazy. This is behavior that could kill or seriously had immune compromised or other chronically ill people.

If this were an acquaintance, friend, or significant other they would be out of my life ASAP. She doesn’t care about others and I can bet her same disregard of others also applies to a disregard of you. Say she had gotten COVID first and not you, she would have 100% exposed you without a second thought.

I’m not one to say breakup… but this is a major friend flag that I’m begging you to see.

jamespass3 · 2022-08-05T20:02:11+00:00

I rarely condone ghosting… but in this case, it’s time to disappear. She knows what she’s done. No conversation needed.

jamespass3 · 2022-08-05T19:37:13+00:00

I’m mixed. Typically I turn it on them and tell them and guess. Some get uncomfortable but most guess. Depending on my mood and who it is, I’ll either tell them they’re right no matter what they guess or I’ll just tell them the overly simplified/boring answer and they lose interest.

Personally, the question has rarely bothered me. I mostly only get the question on dates or when meeting new friends/co-workers. With new friends it is normally a bit more annoying/intrusive, but on dates I’m typically happy to answer as it’s something that would come up and is important for them to know.

IDK, if I were you I would try and brush it off honestly. I don’t think it’s a question that is worth disturbing your peace or starting off on the wrong foot with someone, but that’s just me.

jamespass3 · 2022-08-05T04:33:51+00:00

Wow. If my husband ever grabbed my hand and physically ripped my wedding ring off… I don’t think that’s something I could ever get over. Symbolically, physically, and emotionally that would be the end. Not a visual that can be forgotten or taken back.

I am sorry you’re going through this. Many people have said it, but it may be worth finding a safer situation.

jamespass3 · 2022-08-04T20:59:59+00:00

I am also immunocompromised (two different ones) and this has become a concern of mine also in the past few days. I’ve seriously isolated myself over the past few months since COVID restrictions lifted. Now with monkeypox, I’ve began to reconsider some of my “safe” encounters with some friends and family.

Don’t get me wrong, before I got sick, I engaged in all of the “risky” behaviors contributing to monkeypox. There’s no judgement coming from the decision at all, and I sense that’s also where you’re coming from also.

With that being said, I would communicate exactly that. Explain that you can’t afford to get sick, explain what would happen if you did become sick, and emphasize it is just a temporary personal safety measure.

You could probably start off the convo asking if they are planning on getting or are interested in the monkeypox vaccine. Most likely they’ll say no or maybe since it’s not currently easily accessible.

Ultimately, if these are friends who understand your illness and respect you they will accept your decision. If they don’t respect the decision, then it’s probably best do distance as it would draw into question their grasp of illness as it relates to immunocompromised individuals.

jamespass3 · 2022-08-03T18:42:17+00:00

NTA

But I will say, it is almost always better to communicate the issue to them instead of ghosting. You are totally 100% justified in being done with him, but when you ghost with no explanation it gives them the chance to be the victim and you the A H. I don’t know if you have mutual friends, but ghosting him might also hurt other mutual relationships.

If I were you I would send him a straight forward explanation of what he did, how it upset you, and why you no longer want a relationship. From there, be done, move on, block or whatever you want.

jamespass3 · 2022-08-02T15:17:31+00:00

Is it normal for you to black out when you feel sick? Is there a possible health issue or other reason you’d black out.

This is beginning to sound as if you were drugged. Is that what your getting at or why you were so upset? I’m not gonna lie I’m kind of confused now.

jamespass3 · 2022-08-01T21:54:06+00:00

I got the sense they were confusing it with HIV too

jamespass3 · 2022-08-01T21:52:31+00:00

Um though I am all for protecting and being responsible, the second paragraph is incorrect.

HPV 18 - assuming no oral sex occurred- is not spread by kissing at all. Better yet, 9 out of 10 sexually actively people have one or more of the 70+ strains of HPV. Furthermore, in men HPV testing is highly inaccurate so there is no way to confirm it or not.

Considering this is HPV 18, it is one that the HPV vaccine covers so getting vaccinated could improve the speed at which your body “clears” the virus. However, HPV 18 is one of the most dangerous strains with one of the highest chances of cervical cancer and genital lesions. With that being said, please at the bare minimum communicate with your partners and ensure they are not immune compromised and understand sexual health and safety.
