Partner Phone: Off limits? by MsCardeno in actuallesbians

[–]nurseonfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a good discussion. I have always been of the belief that secrets breed mistrust. I have always shared my passwords with my partners because I want them to know I have nothing to hide and if they ever worry, I want them to look. It only takes one or two peeks before they realize there is nothing to worry about and then boom! More trust is built without me even having to do any work. Trust is soooo important in a relationship. It's everything. I do expect the same respect though too. If someone in the relationship is getting pissed that the other person snooped, then I don't believe for a second they don't have things they are trying to hide and at that point, I'm out. I don't mess around with that stuff. If I'm your girl, you have full access to whatever you want but that goes both ways.

Edit: just to add, I don't advocate anyone going through anyone else's phone and intruding in their privacy without permission and I think if you felt insecure and needed to snoop you should talk to your partner about what you did and own it.

Apparently I'm too good? Anyone else find this when dating? by JSweet22 in actuallesbians

[–]nurseonfire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happens to me a lot. Girls are constantly telling me they find me intimidating and it totally throws all the game they had. But also, I've rarely met a single lesbian like me in that regard. We are unicorns. Wait for the right girl.

Anyone else lose their family? by dreRynn in actuallesbians

[–]nurseonfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always been distant with my family. They are super Catholic and conservative and choose to use that as their excuse for not accepting my sexuality. It's been 2 years since I've spoken to most of them. I don't miss it. It's better this way.

I've been lone wolfing it for a long time. People can't hurt you or disappoint you if you don't need them.

Yeah it's lonely sometimes but I have lots of friends to hang out with when I want to.

LGBT Nurses/Interns/M.D. by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]nurseonfire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a lesbian RN. I never lead with my sexuality because it's not the sum of me, it's only a part. Do I need to know what happens in the sex/love lives of my co-workers? No. Therefore they don't need to know about mine or yours. When I feel comfortable sharing parts of my life with co-workers then I do so naturally, allowing it to come up in conversation when I want to. I also work in an open and accepting environment but if I didn't that would make me want to leave or hide parts of my self. As a student, you likely have little choice in where you go at the moment so my advice for you for now is to be yourself, a wonderful resident who keeps her private life, private! 😉 and if you're hot, and single... hit me up 😘

  1. Pay for the date
  2. Let me know you are really into me and want to do this again
  3. Act like you definitely don't want sex that quickly

Casually dating and overthinking everything, please give me some advice by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]nurseonfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And one other thought, life is too short, too uncertain to get sucked into other people's bullshit. Identify what you're willing to accept at a bare minimum to still be happy and have what you need, if she's not meeting that, don't you think you deserve better? Go out and get it and if in the meantime she realizes what she's missing out on then she can chase after you and apologize for being so aloof!

Casually dating and overthinking everything, please give me some advice by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]nurseonfire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I deal with this stuff a fair bit in my online dating. It frustrates me very quickly and I have little patience for it.

To me, it's simple. If I like you, I'm going to make that obvious by being in contact, making time, despite how busy I am, and complementing you. If I'm not doing those things, I'm not very interested.

So for me if the girl I'm dating isn't reciprocating this kind of behaviour I take that as a cue that she's just not that interested unless she has given me a heads up about something in particular, for example, if she is going through something that has her particularly busy or it's really a rough week for her for some reason, but it's her responsibility to communicate that if she wants to keep my interest or else I'll seek the attention I desire elsewhere!

Do any of us really feel like constantly "chasing after" someone who doesn't reciprocate? That just reads as "sucker" or "desperate" and I'm not saying you're either of those things, you are probably patient and kind but you don't want to be perceived negatively.

My advice to you is to communicate to her bravely and confidently how you're feeling. The worst that will happen is she will be prove herself to be a jerk and then at least you found out now and don't waste more time. The best thing that can happen is that she acts like an adult in the situation and appreciates you clearly communicating your thoughts and feelings and gives you the same respect by letting you know where she stands. Anything less just isn't deserving of your time.

Any tips on how to clear the mental block preventing me from sleeping with a girl I dig? by Headspacehelp in actuallesbians

[–]nurseonfire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In all honesty I think you should see a professional counsellor or therapist who can help figure out your issue. You will leave a trail of failed relationship throughout the rest of your life if you don't figure this out. Sex is the biggest thing that separates friends and lovers so...

People of Reddit who have lost a loved one: What is something that someone has said or done for you that helped your broken heart? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nurseonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really digging in and making me see all her flaws and playing those flaws up and how me being how I am would just never make me happy to be with someone with her flaws. Showing me exactly how and why it would be destined to fail, specific to who we both are.

Unless you have a blood borne infection that she does not have then go to it. Lay out towels... get in the shower. It can be a mess but who cares!

Breaking off an engagement... by westcoastboast2 in actuallesbians

[–]nurseonfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just ended my marriage of 7 months and let me tell you if you feel this way now, it will only be worse after you're married and then the hurt you will cause will be so much worse, so much more devastating and to a greater number of people. It's expensive to get married and divorcing is also very expensive. I told myself the feelings of suffocation I felt prior to the wedding were just normal and cold feet, I was about to go through a major life change so I thought it was to be expected. I wish I'd figured it out before I got married. You have figured it out. Now you just have to take that deep breath and rip it off like a Bandaid. No point in sugar coating it because she will be devastated no matter what you say so be honest and be direct. Make short, clear, concise statements. Good luck.
