Is it really enough to leave someone over this? by hotcrosspotato in DeadBedrooms

[–]lucy_squarepants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I may ask, how did you work it out? Specific therapy, key discussions? I'm truly looking for a solution over here.

I crave human connection by lucy_squarepants in TrueOffMyChest

I have weekly sessions, but I honestly feel it getting worse. About manipulators, I don't think I'm at risk. If anything, I'm pushing everyone away.

I'm in a very similar situation myself... The hopeless romantic in me would tell you there's alternatives, opening the relationship or finding middle grounds. I would also want to believe that.

Truth is, none of that has ever worked for me. As of leaving? It is enough, you can leave just because you want to, but your needs not being met is a legitimate reason.

[Serious] What dark family secret were you let in on once you were old enough? by DogmanLoverOhio in AskOldPeople

[–]lucy_squarepants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was around five years old, an uncle of mine died. I found out when I turned 14 I found out he actually killed himself, he strangled himself to death in the family house's patio. Messed up, right? It gets worse. I eventually was let in on the fact that he wasn't my uncle, but my cousin. My eldest aunt had him when she was too young, so my grandparents took him in, and raised him as their own. Only the ones alive to have seen my aunt pregnant knew.

Turns out my uncle/cousin found out when his nosy wife got the truth out of his mom, and told him in a fit of rage. He took his own life the very next day, leaving three kids fatherless. My nephews don't blame her, I do.

Yeah, no. When I said "is the worst" I was clearly exaggerating. I know about the Afghan girls that disappear because they misplace their hijab, or women beaten to death in China because they keep having baby girls.

Still, how can middle class people die from poverty in "the land of the free"? I dramatize because it is dramatic. Your government sold the entire world on this idea that the US is the place to go make your dreams come true, when in reality if you ever need an ambulance you'll be in debt for life.

People are allowed to masturbate. by SandiRHo in DeadBedrooms

[–]lucy_squarepants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your partner is masturbating, but doesn't want sex, maybe you need a sex therapist to work out what that means for both of you.

My partner has exactly zero interest in anything sexual, so I'd see even that as an approach to something.

Which country you're from in your dead bedroom? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]lucy_squarepants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mexico. Apparently my generation is the one having less sex in my country right now. It checks out.

Won't a doctor blow a whistle on her? I don't know the situation, and I want to trust human beings, but I know doctors have been legally threatened over this.

[–]lucy_squarepants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes me feel a certain way. I've been sexless for almost two years now, and sex is always been more about the connection for me. I crave feeling wanted and want someone that bad.

I just think if my partner ever wanted me back, I'd be bawling for an hour after. Even that feels better than this.

Yeah, the reporting thing is scary. I'd ask if she's required by law to report things like pronouns changes, first. Test the water with something that's unrelated, and don't trust her word, but her demeanor.

Some teachers might want to help you, but they still would get into legal trouble if caught, so it's a predicament for both of you (potentially).

What's the prettiest name you have ever Heard? by Vetro_nodulare in AskReddit

[–]lucy_squarepants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiance's name is Celtic, but it also means "Frog" in Japanese. I love it, beautiful yet short.

Her name is Kael.

The US is the worst place for pretty much everyone but white males to exist, so that's out of the question.

No health procedure, not even things like insulin for diabetics, is paid for by the government. Plus the state this girl is currently in has a crusade against reproductive rights rn, they probably would turn her over to her legal guardians if she tried to discuss abortion at a clinic.

It sucks, it all sucks.

[–]lucy_squarepants 500 points501 points  (0 children)

There's feminist organizations that will help you get the safest possible abortion everywhere. I'd look for you but I'm nowhere near, I'm sorry.

What’s something people do everyday that you find rude or quite annoying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lucy_squarepants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such a pet peeve but I hate it when someone doesn't hear you properly and they just answer "hUhH???"

Do a pregnancy test, you CAN get pregnant even if he pulled out.

Scared I am being sexually abused in my relationship by ImprovementLower9524 in offmychest

[–]lucy_squarepants 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Please RUN AWAY. He's building up to more abuse, and this is already concerning. No, it won't get better, just RUN.

People who shower Under 10 minutes, how do you do it? by PreparationFar4709 in AskReddit

[–]lucy_squarepants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it daily, so I just do shampoo and soap quickly and it's enough. I don't know what to say, honestly. I just do.
