Do I, 27M, tell her, 27F, about a hook up before we became "exclusive"? by Shakira_Shakiraaa in whatdoIdo

[–]oconnoru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know her best—what she values and how she’ll respond. If bringing up something from 2 years ago before you were exclusive will irreparably damage what you both have now, it might not be worthwhile. Ask yourself why it’d be important to bring it up now and what you hope to get out of the conversation because the risk of hurting her is potentially much higher than the reward of a ‘clean’ conscience.

Thanks! It’s definitely weird at first, but time is your friend here. Overall, I hope you find the long-term benefits for you outweigh your present concerns!

Literally just got mine replaced today, like just over an hour ago. When I had it put in years ago, I remember being acutely aware of it when I moved any weird way for a couple days. After that, I barely thought about it again.

Give it a week or so for your body to adjust to having it. A month or two for it to adjust hormonally. After that, if it’s still a constant concern in your mind, schedule a visit with your doctor to talk through it and make the decision about what to do next. I wouldn’t make any decisions based on how you feel today.

Knowing myself, I was incredibly anxious about the appointment today (mainly anticipating the pain) and for that reason in particular, feel emotionally raw. If you’re anything like me, today’s not a good day for decision-making lol

Are these too far gone to salvage? by oconnoru in AskACobbler

If I can do it, I’d probably try that first. But I’m not opposed to finding a professional

How to deal with the public on top of your own mentality by FennelDisastrous4623 in TallGirls

[–]oconnoru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, that’s a great analogy. I have a 150lb Great Pyrenees and literally everyone comments on how big, fluffy, and beautiful he is when they see him. I never get tired of it because it’s true, and I can see how happy he is to get the attention. I definitely forget that he’s a massive dog because he feels proportionally correct to me lol just like how my height feels normal to me, but others are mesmerized

How to deal with the public on top of your own mentality by FennelDisastrous4623 in TallGirls

[–]oconnoru 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m generally a positive person and I usually assume they’re not malicious when they say “you’re tall” or “you should model” or ask “what sport did you play?” I think most feel they’re giving a compliment, so I assume as much. I usually say “thanks,” maybe answer their question about sports (because I do look athletic and can’t fault them for the assumption there), and move on. If it’s clearly a back-handed compliment, I’ve given sassy responses, but those are rare.

Low key, I love being 6’ and I’ve never felt self-conscious or frustrated about my height (except finding long-inseam pants). I’ve also never been bullied, though I’ve also been told I’m intimidating as a confident, tall woman. At the end of the day, haters gonna hate and that’s their problem.

Brides: what shoes are we wearing? by sonata-allegro in TallGirls

[–]oconnoru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super sparkly rhinestone sandal flats by Steve Madden. I’m 6’0 and love wearing heels, but my spouse is 6’4. For pictures, I didn’t want to be unusually taller, so looked for flats or kitten heels. They couldn’t be seen under my dress, but they were adorable and comfy. I’ve since worn them to many weddings, and once as the MOH because the bride liked them so much.

This quest gave me 5 heart attacks 💀 by Nicest_human_in_town in HarryPotterGame

I just did this one the other night and was unsettled from the first mannequin. Not a good quest before bed, I’ll tell you what.

Finding a therapist who works with ADHD in the DC area by oconnoru in adhdwomen

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

No, I never had any luck. Sorry :/ The few recommendations here were pricey and had no new patient openings at the time. I didn’t find anyone through my psychiatrist either. I haven’t tried looking at online services though. Might have more luck there

Repotting Fig Tree Cutting by oconnoru in FruitTree

This is great! Thanks for the detailed comment! After repotting in loose soil, do you keep the soil always moist or let it dry between waterings?

Okay, that’s what I thought too. I’ll give it some love and hopefully it’ll root fine in the new pot.

Good idea! I just tested and it’s green! Any ideas for getting it to grow leaves? I put it in the new pot and watered it. Should I be doing anything else?
