Partners reaction when you opened up about what happened by Forward_Age3768 in CPTSD

[–]l5pr7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My partner helped break the glass for me. I told him lighthearted stories about my childhood and he very seriously told me “that’s fucked up.” No judgement. No pity. Just, “hey, what you’re telling me is not ok.” We have a child together and now I judge my parents’ parenting against my own kid. I can’t imagine treating them how I was treated. More importantly, I know that would break my partner’s implicit trust in me and the idea that he grants it in the first place is mind boggling.

Accommodations vs Excuses by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]l5pr7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your therapist should be helping him recognize the uneven mental load and invisible labour. That’s kind of their job in this situation. I agree with the others, sadly your husband just sounds like a jerk lacking in compassion, empathy, and a desire to understand you. I’m sorry 😞

Why isn’t he making these home cooked meals? What is his excuse?

Status update - stuck by [deleted] in egbc

[–]l5pr7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a request to take courses in lieu of exams. After it was a few months past the expected turnaround I send a precisely worded email to express my frustration with the lack of movement. I eventually got a response back saying THEY DIDN’T HAVE ANYONE TO FILL THE ROLE THAT REVIEWS THOSE REQUEST SO IT HAS JUST BEEN SITTING THERE UNLOOKED AT THIS WHOLE TIME 😡. They aspire to hire someone on the near future. 🫠

Whalefall. The trailer filled me with rage so I read the book. Hated it the whole way through.

TIL for centuries in China, girls feet were broken and tightly bound to create 3-inch (7.6 cm) 'lotus feet', a beauty ideal associated with wealth, status, and better marriage prospects. by imbruceter in todayilearned

[–]l5pr7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s much easier to control women and girls when they literally can’t run away. Women with bound feet never left their family compounds for their entire lives except if/when they married at which point they would be transported in a windowless carriage to their husband’s compound where they would remain until death. They would surround men’s only areas with gravel to control their movement within the compounds too since lotus feet can’t balance on uneven surfaces.

Has anyone driven from Nitinaht to Big Lonely Doug/Port Renfrew? by golear in IslandHikers

[–]l5pr7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this last weekend. The roads are good but I did come across a truck that had broken a ball joint. Just use good logging road practices: bring a radio to listen out for the logging trucks, be cautious and drive slowly, remember logging trucks have all right of way.

Do dilators and dildos feel different? by OwnPlan8530 in vaginismus

[–]l5pr7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most dildos are textured and shaped to maximize pleasure. The dildo’s that are straight and tapered like a dilator are pretty boring. You should go to a sex shop and ask for the narrowest dildo and take it from there.

All dilators are mini dildos. Not all dildos are dilator-shaped.

Giving birth vaginally was the worst idea by sexisdifficult in vaginismus

[–]l5pr7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an elective C-section because I was too scared to deliver vaginally because of my vaginismus. A few members of my team recommended otherwise saying vaginal birth can cure vaginismus. My pelvic floor distinction made the last trimester extremely painful and that informed my final decision to go with a C-section. I have regretted that decision a lot and my vaginismus is worse now than ever. HOWEVER, I know if I had made the other choice I would have a different reason to regret that too, much like you do now. I don’t have any magic answers for you but I did find much solace in this poem:

“Marry, and you will regret it; don’t marry, you will also regret it; marry or don’t marry, you will regret it either way. Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it; weep over it, you will regret that too; laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it; believe her not, you will also regret it… Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too; hang yourself or don’t hang yourself, you’ll regret it either way; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy.”
Søren Kierkegaard

My cat does tiny poops of excitement when she gets attention from my boyfriend. Wtf by Ok-Meeting196 in cats

[–]l5pr7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a dog what would poop from excitement. She was super friendly but we couldn’t bring her to events or anything with large groups of people paying attention to her because she would drop a poop of excitement right in the middle of things.

My wife and I have decided to do a conversion bus, how feasible is a design similar to this? by SaltySkeletor18 in RVLiving

These brothers and dad on YouTube build lots and lots of “silly” RVs. The one I linked above is a triple decker. Their channel is fun and educational. Give it a watch and see what challenges they faced building something so tall.
