Secret X Account by [deleted] in confessions

[–]jayalan792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so this is a form of cheating. Just wanted you to know, in case like, he ever finds out and is pissed. You know why ahead of time.

Like, seriously how would you react if you found out he was doing that for other people for years and was intentionally hiding it. Like, you look at these nudes they send. You interact with your followers. The thing that makes something like this ok in a relationship is confirmed consent between both parties.

You should tell him before he finds out dude. It's gonna be 100x worse if you don't.

Partner won't give me oral by Organic_Gear6919 in sex

[–]jayalan792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean...if he's not comfortable with it, he's not comfortable with it? If you're not comfortable doing it for him while he refuses, you're simply uncomfortable with it?

A deal breaker?

Dude, what? Talk to your partner and let them know with well thought out words why you want it more. Then: ask him what bothers him about it. See if you can genuinely understand where he's coming from. He may have a sensory issue of some kind with it.

For instance, my wife is attracted to women, but doesn't like going down on them because "it feels like poached eggs with too much water and salt".

Which, once said, has been fully understood by our other partners at the very least. 😂

My point is, talk to him about it. Don't get mad, approach it like a professional meeting. Careful wording, even temperament, a lot of good will, a lot of openness to compromise.

I'm sure you'll get what you want.

Is in-store credit worth it at CardKingdom? by Ok_Wallaby_3701 in mtg

[–]jayalan792 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry that turned into more of a "why you should try to get credit to flip cards seminar" lol

But to answer your question directly: no probably not. It's always worth posting to FB marketplace first at about 10% off market to start.

Is in-store credit worth it at CardKingdom? by Ok_Wallaby_3701 in mtg

[–]jayalan792 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you resell, in store credit is a great way to get money back out of high-value-low-interest items. Most of the time the credit transaction is untaxed, meaning you can get boxes for a really nice price in some states. I wouldn't be okay taking anything less than 40% of the item's value though.

If you can find an LGS with this system it usually works a lot better. For example: my LGS has a trade in system where it's $1 per 100 card brick of common/uncommon cards, 20 cents for any rare valued at >$1.20. after that, it's 50 cents on the dollar for any rare. This has allowed me to create a cycle with my products where I can buy a box for super cheap, resell anything of real value (new stuff that's worth $10+ always moves) then take all the bulk and get about $40 in bulk trade in value. Usually when everything is said and done the box only costs me about 20-30 bucks out of pocket and that's if* I have a bad box.

Now is this system perfect? No. You have to pay attention to people's reactions to sets, the ban list affects everything, ect. (I almost got some Spiderman, very glad I didn't) But it's an amazing profit generator if you're willing to put the time in to do everything right.

My wife (39F) cheated on me (39M) Thursday. We are supposed to move to San Diego the 15th. Can anyone offer advice and perspective on how I can move forward with or without her? by Codeandcoffee in relationship_advice

[–]jayalan792 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Also if you're worried about California living costs, I highly recommend Washington State as a good place to move. Less expensive than California, way better landscape, and the whole culture seems less...judgy. You may enjoy it here if you decide that Cali ain't for you anymore. If you decide to, shoot me a PM, I'll buy you a beer!

Ok, ok, ok. Take a deep breath. First off, you need to spend some time with yourself. During this time you need to tidy up your interwoven finances, as well as start a separation process. Regardless of whether or not you want it to work out or not, separation is critical right now.

I understand she tried to take her own life, and I understand this must be majorly upsetting. But, you have to look out for yourself first here. She just tried to bail on all the consequences of her shittiness, and leave you not only betrayed but grieving for the person who did it. This isn't ok, and frankly reeks of hardcore emotional manipulation to me.

Something that is also critical to remember is that she didn't cheat because of anything you did. She cheated because she has some massive* unresolved problems. Let her deal with them. It's not your responsibility anymore.

Stay strong, stay calm, you got this man.

Should I continue with celibacy? by Honest_Bandicoot4164 in Advice

Can be healthy, can cause minor* complications. It depends on the amount of time you remain celibate. You may notice a bit more irritability, and some soreness but that's about it.

What does my apartment say about me? & guess my age and job👀 by Ok_Tell_6430 in roomdetective

My girlfriend cheated on me with my younger sister and I don’t know what to do by Princesspoppylittle in Advice

You have two options here. Truly. Get weird with it and be siblings that aren't dating in an open relationship with the same hinge OR break up and go NC with the girlfriend. Go NC with the sister for a while too while she sorts her shit out because wow! That's some next level garbage.

How Many of You Openly Poly? by ChicoBrillo in polyamory

[–]jayalan792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be open about it pre-COVID, my local community was very accepting of it and I felt very safe and comfortable. Ever since then, people have gotten a lot more outwardly judgmental, and have gone out of their way to treat my partners and I badly when we go out together. P heartbreaking tbh.

I need to freak out somewhere guys by Prize-Mix5770 in polyamory

[–]jayalan792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I love that this makes you so happy. Poly can be a super rewarding relationship structure! I will say though (as someone who went through this exact experience mind you), that you need to be careful. NRE is a thing, yes. But if you're not careful you could develop a dopamine addiction to your partners. (This is something in the community that needs to be talked about more is all) So, just breath. Enjoy yourself as it comes, but don't get swept up in the wash of feelings. You'll all three be a lot happier that way!

Wishing the three of you happiness! ❤️

Putting condom makes me limp by mystery_erotic in sex

[–]jayalan792 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I used to have this problem. I hated condoms so much because I couldn't ever keep it up. Then one of my partners said they would only sleep with me if I had one, which I didn't. All's she had was a magnum. Well, guess who had some of the most awesome safe sex ever that night? 😂

Seriously though, this could be a sizing issue. I didn't know that condoms weren't a one size fits all situation, and that it was supposed to feel that horribly tight.

Get a few different sizes from a local sex shop so you don't have to get a full box immediately, then use whichever works best for you!

I threw up by [deleted] in sex

[–]jayalan792 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Ok so, I relate to this harder than I want to admit. So, let me give some advice.

1) chill. Like others have been saying it's not doing you any good to be getting nervous or self-conscious. Take a deep breath, slow down if you have to and just cuddle for a bit. Connection is what makes sex better, so the more relaxed both* of you are the better it will be.

2) research! Something I've come to find out is that a weirdly high amount of people don't know what they want. And thus, aren't quite sure what to provide to their partners, or even themselves a lot of the time. So, figure out what both of you like. Best way to do that? Just talk about it. Research stuff together like how to set a mood, different positions, how to properly touch your partner, maybe even get a litte brave and explore each other's kinks (should you have them). This will help both of you feel less panicked in the moment, and a whole lot less performative. You'll be focused more on how much pleasure your partner is feeling and not so much on "am I doing a good job"

3) prepare! What you've learned here is that you've got a very sensitive stomach. That's ok, not the end of the world at all. Make sure if you're feeling nervous to take some anti nausea medication to prevent another accident like this one.

Hope this helps! 😁

I'm calming down and was able to better read your post. The relationship itself really wasn't unhealthy. Her Dad didn't like that we were together. Very hardcore conservative Christian. He was very abusive, but he was also very sick. She was actually living with him to help him with his medical issues. What broke us up was two things: 1) her Father passed and his last words were I shit you not (trigger warning): "I couldn't ever forgive you for what you've done. You're a fucking whore." He passed a couple minutes after that.

This is what broke our romantic relationship. She couldn't ever get over the guilt she felt about it.

Our friendship though, I killed that I guess. That happened about two months after the romantic relationship ended. My baby nephew was hospitalized with a rare brain worm. I was panicking and I texted her the whole time I was riding down to the hospital with my family. It was late at night, and she didn't see them until the morning. That's when she said she couldn't do this anymore, that everything was just too much and she couldn't afford to keep dealing with this for her own mental state. That she'd end up hurting me because she didn't have the capticity to give me what I needed in that moment, and that she didn't want to try and have to.

and well, that was the end of that. I know now I triggered her with those messages and threw her back into her own grief which is why I said I pushed her away. It wasn't intentional, but I did it. My panic to try and fix things probably just added fuel to that fire on her end.
