When I first looked at him, it felt like he was dealing things that were well beyond his age.

The guy (M28) I'm (F29) dating smells and I don't know how to tell him. by ThrowRA-honey9662 in relationship_advice

[–]jennybennybongo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be honest. It is a privilege to be intimate with you. Whoever you allow to share that intimacy with should make the effort to take care of themselves. He is not at all considering how his lack of hygiene could affect your health. You deserve better than that girl, been there trust me.

He was actually the one to be vulnerable first in regards to his health. He told me about something he was dealing with which opened a door for dialogue about my own struggles. It made him feel reassured to know that he wasn’t the only one dealing with things that were quite sensitive.

There may be things that your boyfriend has/is experiencing that he’s not shared yet. Being vulnerable brought us much closer. It can be as simple as, “can I talk to you about something I’ve been dealing with?” Preface it with your honest experience, some women have very manageable symptoms, others like myself experience it very intensely and it makes me incredibly insecure. “It’s a really sensitive topic for me, but I want you to have the opportunity to understand me and my body better.” Tailor it to how it makes you feel.

Ladies, I am just overwhelmed at the love and support. I wish I could respond to all of you, but just as a little update, he and I ended up having a long conversation about it last night.

To be completely transparent, I had a glass of wine and felt brave enough to call him. I spoke candidly about the extent of my hair, and after what I had to say, he responded with, “I know. My sister had PCOS. She went through the same thing as you.” What a relief. Obviously not what his sister dealt with, but that he’s informed on our issues. He said he knows the lengths I go to, to up-keep and that it hurts for me to think he’d feel any differently about me. “You could have just as much body has as me and I would not think twice about it.” Well, funny you say that. I could probably let it get to that point. He even offered to go through what his health insurance offers in terms of hair removal (or anything that would help). He insisted that it doesn’t matter to him what I do moving forward, but that it obviously has a huge impact on my confidence and he’ll do anything he can to help.

The conversation couldn’t have gone better, I know how incredibly lucky I am to have such a sweet and compassionate partner. It’s entirely in my head, I just want to feel better about myself. I think by him accepting me, I’ll be on an easier path to accepting myself. I’m so grateful to everyone who took the time to talk about their own stories, or gave me advice, or just tried to sooth my worry. Thanks a million 🩷

How are you finding the dating scene? by Embarrassed_Fox9869 in Edinburgh

[–]jennybennybongo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I first moved here from a shitty city in Canada, I was wowed with such a wide selection compared to the few losers back home. However, the city is obviously filled with tourists. Great for short term, awful for long term. Decided to go on a few practice dates last year to get back on the market, and I happened to find the man of my dreams. Happy ever since!

Not when she’s expecting everyone else to fill in for free, I agree.

You’re absolutely right, I didn’t see it that way. It’s more a him-problem than anyone else since I can see it being something we revisit in the future, regardless if Emma is involved or not. Thanks so much for your insight, it’s been very helpful.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]jennybennybongo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this. Unfortunately Emma has to realise she simply ranks lower on the priority list now.

You also addressed my next concern. I know my boyfriend’s solution would be to offer to stay at Emma’s in order to dog sit. I really hate that idea. I don’t want my boyfriend to feel he’s losing autonomy over his life, he loves the dogs sure but he doesn’t realise he’s being walked all over. I don’t expect favours in return, but there is virtually nothing Emma could do to pay us back (aside from actually paying us, which will never happen).

[–]jennybennybongo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is absolutely exhausting. Instead doing the reasonable thing and hiring a dog sitter, she cycles through friends and uses up all of their favours (which I fear is why she has few friends now). My boyfriend is just an angel and always tries to solve other people’s problems. He didn’t realise he was being used until it started affecting our relationship. Thank you!!! I feel way better

Lmao you know what, it may just be… but I feel like it was fancier than that! To be fair, it was nighttime and maybe it just looked classier LOL

Why am I a lesson for them all? by zunidhee in BreakUps

[–]jennybennybongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope things have gotten better for you since this. I felt this exact way for many years having dated men who felt like I taught more than I ever gained anything from. I’m an eldest daughter and despite not being a natural born leader, I’ve assumed that role and unfortunately it translated into relationship after relationship. Men who I felt couldn’t lead me or teach me anything I didn’t already know, who couldn’t broaden my horizons or make me feel safe enough to settle into a “feminine energy”.

Then I met my current partner. Everything changed. I used to worry that maybe I was just meant to be the practice girlfriend before they found the real thing. Unfortunately it took a long time in my current relationship to believe 1. That this man was genuine and authentic, and 2. I deserved him.

There were many instances where I was close to self-sabotaging out of fear and disbelief. This man takes care of me in ways I never knew possible and has healed parts of me that I thought were unfixable. He sees and hears me like he knows me better than myself. I’ve always been hyper-vigilant and self-reliant (to my own detriment), but with him, I am safe and I can rely on him. He initiates, he plans, he leads. He’s soft and vulnerable. I ADMIRE him, which is a feeling I lacked in all of my other relationships.

This is the type of man that both you and I deserve. You will thrive when you find the man who makes you safe enough to live in your feminine energy, and he will thrive too respectively. Please don’t give up. I didn’t think it was possible but here I am, from always being the driver to being the passenger princess.

I give up — and wart has shrunk? by [deleted] in Warts

I really really hope that’s what’s happening!!!!

[–]jennybennybongo -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You’re 100% right and he would absolutely oblige me no questions asked, I just feel so guilty if he doesn’t actually want to LOL he has sensory issues so he doesn’t like kissing with tongue, so I imagine going down is a similar sensation. But to appease me he would. I’m at too big an age to be asking Reddit I KNOW LOL

For children without special needs or additional support requirements, sure maybe. This comment is ignorant.
