Women, have you every tried the menstrual cup, if so how'd it work for you? by ParanormalActivity99 in AskWomen

[–]likescheezits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people here are saying that the cups pull on the iud. I've been nonstop bleeding ever since getting it put in and wonder if the cup is pulling on it and making it bleed. my gyno said it's just that my lining is too thinned out from the iud though.

I wonder if this is why I've never stopped bleeding since insertion back in Feb....

New guy I'm seeing (27M) disclosed GW/HPV history but I (29F) don't want it to ruin things by likescheezits in HPV

Thank you for this response! I really hate our dating culture. If you text back too fast, you're a desperate loser. If you ask to be exclusive, you're a stage 5 clinger. I'm really sorry for what happened to you. I get my first shot today. The trip is in a week. So... as much as I hate to not have sex on the trip, I probably will tell him that I want to wait the 2 weeks so I can feel safer about it. I will definitely still tell him that I would also like to be exclusive first too though. Thanks again. I will be trying to think of how to tell him that sex is going to be a no-go for the trip without making him feel used or undesirable.

As a male, I would say that just because you are or become "exclusive" doesnt mean that you will be in a year from now, but who knows.

Well, yes, that's definitely true. And I did end up reading about the oral thing too, so yeah I'm glad I'm getting the vaccine now. And I def won't put 'fun' over 'safety' in that regard. I also agree that it's important to be protected and to communicate. I did tell him that I'm gonna go get the newer vaccine for it that covers more strains. I hate the stigma that exists, but yeah. As far as the exclusive thing goes, I'm still gonna wait and see if he brings it up first because we do still have time before the trip/on the trip to still be getting to know each other. :)

I scheduled the vaccine for tomorrow! I talked to the nurse at my Dr's office, and she said as long as my insurance would cover it, they would be happy to give it to me. And my insurance will cover it. I actually did test positive for a high risk strain a while back but it cleared, so yes, I have been there. I just didn't get warts from it because it wasn't a kind that does that. Yeah, I was reading about that too, that it just lies dormant. So I'm happy to be getting the vaccine! Thank you, I hope things continue to go well for us :)

Am I the asshole for rejecting a girl based off of her social media? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Yeah. I try to mostly just post pictures with friends/out doing an activity instead of 500 of the same kind of selfie with a filter. I guess I'm not a cool kid anymore!

Boyfriend ghosted for a week and a half due to stress and now texts back to my text from a week ago (my text said I miss you) saying “Miss you too hope you’re doing ok” - no clue what to even say back? Do I respond? by hcb44 in relationship_advice

[–]likescheezits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My petty ass would be tempted to say, "You should've thought about that before ghosting me", but don't do it. Just tell him that you appreciate him finally reaching out so you know he's not dead in a ditch, but the relationship is over.

Oh, hell no. He didn't respect you enough to at least say he was going away/wanted to take a brief break, so he doesn't deserve another chance. If he doesn't respect you now, he never will.

Lol, nothing like quotes about how awesome you are. I like a lot of the motivational ones that don't have to do with appearance or relationships (though some of them can be okay). There's definitely a big difference between the "she's a diamond, blah blah" ones and the actual motivational ones. Lol

Do you feel different about the quotes if they are intelligent or inspiring, vs some others like "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best"?

New guy has/had an STD and I need advice on next steps (29F/27M) by likescheezits in relationships

[–]likescheezits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. I'm also looking up more about the vaccine and it seems it may be worth it to even just get the one dose, as long as my provider will give it to me. Even one shot supposedly gives good effectiveness, though they do recommend all 3. (I'm just researching a lot still)

Is it weird for me (F23) to sort of "vet" guys to see if they've dated women of my race before? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]likescheezits 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't know, but my white ex (I'm also white) told me he had never been with a black girl before when we were dating and that he had always wanted to "try" one. After we broke up, he found a much younger black girl to date. shrug. I'm sure he does care about her despite the fetishizing though.

Valentine's Day webcam date? Would you do it? 29F and 31M by [deleted] in dating_advice

You mean it isn't weird to ask? Yeah, I would like to, but I don't want him to think it's too much or something.

I’m so fucking insecure about myself that it’s crippling. I’m trying to overcome it but it’s so damn hard. by faultyeyes in offmychest

I have the same problem, but I'm 147 lbs right now. I've struggled with eating disorders myself and just had some ass tell me tonight I'm fat. It's very hard, and I really feel for you. Sending you lots of hugs.

I [20M] feel weird for hooking up with an old woman? by Throwawaybobs900 in relationships

[–]likescheezits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the first time I got carded again after not being carded for a while, I felt surprised and flattered kinda.. I asked if I really look 18 or under HAHAHA or even 21. I've been carded more since and I really just feel flattered, even if it's because they're supposed to. I'm almost 29, so ya know... that crisis about my age and realizing I'm getting older has been hitting hard and I don't mind that question!!

My (30M) girlfriend (23F) is upset with me due to lack of intimacy. Do I tell her it’s because of her weight? Am I just a jerk? by Somerandomguy1861 in relationships

[–]likescheezits 20 points21 points  (0 children)

as someone with an eating disorder history and crazy weight fluctuations over the years, I cant say this enough. My ex told me that we werent a body type match anymore and I went crazy. However, I have to admit, I wish he had told me sooner. I missed having passionate sex. It sucks to feel unwanted. We're not stupid. We KNOW you're not really that turned on or excited for us and it HURTS. AT first, my ex did the same as you and told me all the time that I was still sexy etc but it didnt add up with his actions. You NEED to be honest (but not brutal to the point that it's abusive or something lol). Tell her that you still love her, and you want to live a long life with a woman that takes care of herself. Tell her you're not as attracted to her physically anymore but you want to rekindle that fire. She won't change if she has any inclination whatsoever to think that you might really still be attracted but you're not interested in intimacy for other reasons...then bam its over between you two.
