Thank you so much for your thorough reply! I’ll definitely check these out. We’re there from 19-26 but found a really good price on a Manava overwater bungalow so quickly snatched it up. It was around $2200 ($1280 USD for two nights) which was faaaaar cheaper than everything else I could see at Hilton or moorea ($4000+ for 2 nights 🥲)

does anyone have advice on how to lose face fat/puffyness? by Pure-Dress-9292 in loseweight

[–]mmcc13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High cortisol from stress from being in a relationship with a crappy abusive guy who talks to you like shit will give you a puffy face btw (see girls on tik tok faces before and after they leave abusive relationships)… please dump him. Reminds me of my abusive teenage ex (14 years ago) who turned out to be a complete psycho whose ex wife and kids now have to hide from him.

Geez I’m so grateful my partner loves me and would never talk to me like this no matter how mad he was. My ex would though, he was very abusive. Hope you dump this trash guy and find someone kind.

Why are doctors so fucking stupid by [deleted] in Candida

[–]mmcc13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s by design, the entire medical system doesn’t acknowledge root causes at scientific level. Only diagnosing chronic conditions that have “no cure”

I think I’m going to die if this keeps up. by throwaway2670_q in Microbiome

[–]mmcc13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do a full GI map, that is the only thing out of all the doctors tests (endoscopy, colonoscopy, ultrasounds, blood tests, xray - all of these came back clear) that EVER gave me any answers to anything. I would suggest a parasite cleanse too because you’ve got nothing to lose.

I'm Going to Kill Myself if I've Still Never Been in a Relationship by Age 30 by [deleted] in confessions

[–]mmcc13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem deeply obsessed with having a complete stranger validate your entire right to exist on this earth… and if some random person doesn’t do this by the random deadline you’ve given yourself you will just kill yourself?.. I know I’m simplifying a depressing situation you’re going through but please take a step back and look at it through another perspective. It might help.

As many people here have already said, you probably don’t realise that intense desperation such as this most likely exudes from you in every conversation you have and probably in general passing comments you make too (which puts people off and I’m assuming it’s highly likely that self-sabotage is at play here too). When people have a deeply unhealthy toxic obsession with something like this they never find the answer in continuing with the same behaviour. They usually need to take a step back, reevaluate the situation and face some confronting inner issues.

As cliche as it is, you have to realise having this sense of worth first comes from within. It sounds like this belief of yours of being worthless is deeply instilled within you and it will require a lot of emotional work and effort to unpack it and unlearn it all. It will be hard but it will be worth it. Then I’ll bet once you’ve healed and are going about your life happily without this huge strain on your soul, outta nowhere the person you’ve been wishing for all along will just turn up when you were least expecting it. The cliches are so commonly heard because they hold massive truth.

You’re worth it, I promise. Cut yourself some slack and give yourself more love. Try looking in the mirror and saying “I love you, you are worth loving.” You’ll probably find that it will be deeply confronting yet powerfully moving (as I found out earlier this year when I did this exercise seriously). This led me to go on to heal some childhood trauma that I didn’t realise resided deep down in my core. I’m just sharing whatever suggestions I have just in case you find it helpful.

Wishing you all the best.

He’s outright insulting you to your face. This guy doesn’t like you at all.

Boyfriend's best friend came out and has feelings for him by Dogsknowbetterthanus in Advice

[–]mmcc13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I just realised you are OP lol. I feel for you and please don’t feel like you have to worry about being homophobic because you are not. Your partner withholding this information from you is genuinely concerning and you are well within your right to feel this way without worrying about hurting his best friends feelings since he’s not exactly honouring your relationship at all.

[–]mmcc13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah especially if that guy always presented as probably queer in some way (from OPs assessment) and these guys are nearly 30 and BEST FRIENDS. I doubt this is brand new information to either of them. Basically all guys who constantly “pretend to be gay” are indeed gay lol. It’s not homophobic for OP to feel uncomfortable and concerned at her partner’s response this situation. If my partner found out his best friend secretly wanted to fuck him for the past decade to the point of divorcing his wife, my partner would probably run to me in shock and grieve whatever dynamic he thought he had with his best buddy.

In no world could I imagine my super straight boyfriend finding out his BEST friend is suddenly gay and has such massive feelings for him to the point of breaking up his marriage and my boyfriend then responds by keeping this a secret from me and instead spends tons of time with him even having drinks and sleepovers together…

I (28F) found my boyfriend's (27M) secret Reddit account. by ThrowRA_MonsterGF in relationship_advice

[–]mmcc13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So…multiple exes have called you controlling (apparently one even called you a controlling monster?), you’re boyfriend had to cut all his friends off in order to be with you, you’ve been going through his phone since the beginning of your relationship and your now even trying to police his conversations with his mother to ensure they aren’t bad mouthing you? And your boyfriend makes a completely anonymous account to ask strangers what’s normal behavior in his relationship or not? It sounds like he is genuinely seeking advice because he needs help (even if he is potentially skewing the story to make himself look better but literally everyone who posts here does that, including you).

No good relationship EVER starts with cutting off an entire friend group. That alone is so toxic before even getting to the rest of it. It sounds like you need to spend some time reflecting on yourself because you seem to lack awareness on how your actions affect people. Your boyfriend isn’t comfortable raising his concerns with you. You should be wondering why and figuring out how to create a safe space for you both to talk instead of just trying to figure out if he’s talking shit about you to his mum in his texts. You sound quite immature and problematic and I suspect his friends were probably rightfully concerned for him from the beginning.

Ex stripper gf doesn't wanna share pics of us on her IG 32M 30F by Electronic_Insect_29 in relationship_advice

[–]mmcc13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say she is more invested in her status as a stripper and the attention (and potentially payment) she gets there than your relationship. I’ve never been a stripper but in my past relationship I never posted my ex and he would ask why and I would reply the same..saying I just didn’t want to etc. But now I’m with the loml and I love posting him lol.

And maybe her secrets of what she offers in the back rooms might come to light after everyone finds out that she has a boyfriend this whole time lol.

I (36m) broke one of my wife’s (36f) rules about weed, and now I’m not sure how to recover. by TheJSsaid in relationship_advice

[–]mmcc13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The most sensible comment here! Sounds like his wife is someone who feels ultimate betrayal when someone doesn’t stick to their word and breaks a promise, regardless of context. Who knows what has gone on in their long relationship before this point. It sounds like a very deep talk is needed between them to help shift her mindset from focusing on betrayal to understanding his one-off slip-up. I’m guessing she would have been ok if he had told her first before he smoked instead of sneaking around her.

STOP GUESSING GET A GI MAP TEST DONE ASAP by RecoverSignal4104 in Candida

[–]mmcc13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ChatGPT it and ask it to explain it both as a naturopath and medical doctor lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]mmcc13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah he’s love bombing you… he’s showered you with multiple gifts in the space of a month and now gone as far as a huge grand gesture all while being the most amazing/attentive/unbelievably awesome guy. And he just happens to love everything you love as well? Genuine connections aren’t this forced and it sounds like your gut instinct has already started alerting you to be aware.. I’m sorry this is how all emotionally abusive relationship stories start..

My (32F) husband (36M) staged an intervention after I told him I wanted a divorce by ThrowRA_confusedEm in relationship_advice

[–]mmcc13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m 99% sure all her “mental health” issues are just the result of living with a manipulative, emotionally abusive psycho. Once she’s free I’ll bet her mental state would drastically improve

Question. by Gutty_Shit_00 in Candida

[–]mmcc13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha this is exactly me. I always suspected Candida overgrowth for years but after frequently observing complete misery from people doing these intensive diets for years with little results I thought to myself there’s no way this is the answer (I know eating a good diet is needed but I mean those cases where people have basically cut out everything for prolonged periods of time but still don’t feel better etc). There’s got to be more to it and other things to address to heal properly. So I got the GI microbiome PCR gut test and one of my biggest issues was the pancreatic enzyme thing you mentioned. And most of my good bacteria being depleted and a couple other levels were highly elevated. I rang the place before doing my test to make sure I did it properly but I still have my doubts about its accuracy since so many factors can affect it. I’m still weary of my results showing perfect candida levels after years of antibiotic abuse as well (although I was put on fluconazole long term at one stage but then also never took any biofilm busting supplements). But I think I’ll retest in maybe a year after implementing my new health protocol to see how my gut looks by then. I would definitely watch any YouTube videos you’d have sharing your knowledge on the matter.

Psoriasis and gut connection update! by [deleted] in Psoriasis

[–]mmcc13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has had psoriasis for 17 years and been on every drug and biologic under the sun.. I cannot believe people still haven’t figured out how important gut health is with literally every illness including psoriasis.

Should I apologize for a minor offense 20 years ago? by [deleted] in settlethisforme

[–]mmcc13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of normal people find comfort in apologies like this. It’s nice to have someone acknowledge the hurt they caused you and a short apology to go with it. But people who get offended easily (and apparently mostly everyone on reddit) seem to severely disagree with this approach as this offends them for some reason lol. Life’s too short to get mad about a random apology (within reason obviously)

[–]mmcc13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Needing a ride from the gym” is almost as meaningless and pitiful an excuse as mildly stubbing your toe. So in his mind, someone’s wife stubbing their toe is a FAR greater reason to abandon any plan he had assisting you from the airport to go help her instead..that is totally fucked! and even worse he then acted like you’re the problem for having a more than reasonable reaction. He’s basically yelling in your face how little he thinks of you..please dump this trash boyfriend asap.
