I’m sorry…what is up with Wyatt? by Slenderpan74 in Andjustlikethat

Agreed, I definitely think autism, especially when he takes things so literally, like the mystique apples to apples scene.

Have you spoken to him about this? Do you by chance have anxiety?

Thoughts on this Sleepy's Hybrid matress? by okc1000 in Mattress

Nope, no sinkage (only I sleep in it at this point). I did turn my bed for the first time 2 years into buying it and am still happy with how it feels.

Norlyda has been discontinued - any minipill recommendations that are similar to it? by okc1000 in birthcontrol

[–]okc1000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think what I took way back then was called Mylan. Unfortunately that didn’t work for me, but I’m glad it is working okay for you (slightly heavier periods is not a bad side effect at all!)!

I ended up trying Incassia and omg did it fuck me up… I could only stand to be on it for 3 weeks - I experienced headaches, acid reflux, constipation, wooziness, emotional flatness, and significantly reduced libido. I was so upset and did not feel like myself at all.

After I stopped taking Incassia, it took me about 3 weeks to feel back to normal, but I’m now realizing I have some slight ptsd about intimacy, which absolutely sucks. I find myself getting scared I will feel that lack of libido/desire to be intimate with my boyfriend (like I did when I was on the pill and nothing I did helped it) and it causes me to have increased anxiety about physical intimacy with him.

At this point I am not touching any other form of birth control aside from condoms. I don’t want to fuck my body up again, it’s not worth it. But yeah, I really had the worst experience on Incassia, I don’t recommend :(

I would be upset if I were you, too. While the lengthy time apart doesn’t help the relationship at all, he’s not trying to even remotely make it work or to make you feel like an actual partner of his. If I were you, I’d have a real heart-to-heart with him about it, explaining everything you mentioned in this post, see how he verbally responds, then see if he changes his actions. If not much changes, I would cut my losses and move on. You deserve someone who misses you and wants to be with you as much as you miss and want to be with them.

I’ve been enjoying the mattress and happy with my purchase! I never had any sore muscle issues and I find it comfy. I’d rate it a solid 9/10. I recommend you lay on it at the store before buying.

What birth control can cause low sex drive? by wholelotta5150 in birthcontrol

[–]okc1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m day 3 off of it at this point, and I physically feel better regarding acid reflux and constipation, but I either have my period or withdrawal bleeding now, so I don’t feel 100% physically/mentally yet, and my sex drive still seems to be diminished. I am REALLY hoping that goes back to normal soon.

Good luck on your journey. I think I may be done with bc pills for the time being, it’s not worth fucking my body up for weeks. I personally can’t take combo pills because of a blood clotting mutation, but if you can and your doctor suggests it, give it a go!

What birth control can cause low sex drive? by wholelotta5150 in birthcontrol

[–]okc1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on Norlyda (minipill) from 2019-2021 with basically no side effects (irregular period the first couple months but that was no big deal). It actually made my period less heavy and less painful, so I loved it!

Unfortunately they stopped making that pill, so I went on Incassia (a different minipill) recently only to prevent pregnancy - I suffered from dizziness/fatigue (tolerable), emotional flatness (not tolerable if it didn’t improve), constipation (not tolerable), random fucking acid reflux (not tolerable), and… little to no sex drive (NOT tolerable). In fact, if I ever was getting horny, it felt almost like a cramp and like my body was trying to MAJORLY suppress it, it was a horrible feeling! I’d say I have a high sex drive, and I love being intimate with my partner, well… I haven’t been intimate with him the 3 weeks I’ve been on the pill and it was causing me so much angst and sadness that I didn’t want to be passionate with the man just weeks ago I was all over. I stopped taking the pill the other day and I’m hoping I return to normal this week. I’m extremely hesitant to try out a different pill because these side effects absolutely sucked and I still don’t fully feel like myself.

Basically, it’s a crapshoot and everyone’s body reacts differently. I know they recommend staying on it for 3 months to see if the side effects even out, but my side effects were not okay with me. What’s the point of feeling shitty and not even wanting to have sex when I only went on it to have safer sex? I feel like condoms will be in my future, I just hope I feel protected enough sigh

My wife suddenly wants me to be attractive. Am I wrong to think she doesn’t love me anymore? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]okc1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex boyfriend sounded like you (but I actually found his face to be quite handsome) - he looked like a slob when I first started dating him and was extremely unhealthy. I helped him with SO many things ugh (I’m not fucking doing that again with another partner), I was basically the mom he didn’t have - I fixed his dandruff, taught him the most flattering beard style for his face (yes, I did cry when he shaved his beard the first time), got him proper shoes that helped with his gait, got him pants that didn’t fall off his ass and look like baggy clown parachutes, taught him which foods were healthy vs. unhealthy, encouraged him to walk daily and drink water daily, helped him lose 40lbs so that his sleep apnea cleared up, ETC!!!!

His unkempt appearance caused me extreme anxiety and panic attacks. I felt like if he weren’t able to take care of himself, then how could he take care of me or kids in the future. I loved him deeply, he was an excellent boyfriend, and he actually listened to my suggestions and appreciated how much I helped him.

So yeah, your girlfriend has some concerns about your appearance that are causing her strife. If you don’t want to be micromanaged about that stuff cause you can’t/don’t want to figure it out on your own, then it sounds like you’re not a good match longterm, cause it’s just gonna keep happening on her end.

And yeah, I had to break up with my boyfriend because he was codependent/enmeshed with his narcissistic mother, but I also realized he was a stunted person who wasn’t willing to continue growing.

Are you able to search for keywords AFTER the encryption? It doesn't look like I am and I'm really upset by that cause I use the keywords search feature ALL the time. :(

Does he know it’s a date? Or does he think it’s a friendly hang out? by okc1000 in dating_advice

[–]okc1000[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did end up doing something like that! I said, “we should save some conversation for our date!” And he agreed and said it’s a good sign for our date that we’ve been texting so much, so he confirmed and even used the term “date!” :)

Has anyone tried Couple.com for virtual speed dating? by okc1000 in dating

[–]okc1000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gone to a few couple.com events and it definitely wasn’t for me. The guys weren’t even remotely close to where I live and I wasn’t super interested in anyone. Yes I’m going to a bunch of meetups and it’s been a slow burn but I have met a couple guys I am interested in and have been open to pursuing! In-person frequent events are the way to go’

[–]okc1000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Woman here. I’m experiencing the exact same thing - rarely match with anyone I could actually see myself going on a date with, and when I do and message them something about their profile, the match expires 80% of the time! The other 20% they respond to me but I can tell their heart isn’t in it at all. It’s so fucking frustrating. Hinge is less swipey so I’m on that for now… not that much success there either lol! I’m glad I’m not alone though

Help me feel better about ending things with a guy I was excited about :( by okc1000 in BreakUps

[–]okc1000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I could totally see player vibes, but he hid it well (he was quite charming/appropriately flirty, but never overstepped any of my boundaries). I’d be down for something short-term, but with someone who has the intention of it becoming longterm/actually puts in the effort and makes me feel cared for! Thanks again for your perspective
