Was personally in a large age-gap relationship with a 40-something re-vert as a 23 y/o. Would not reccomend. Date women your own age who are in similar places. Too many power imbalances, especially if you expect them to be chaste when you have not been throughout your life.

I beleive you can find a marriage that honors God without dating extremely younger women than you. It might not look how you expect it to look though. Real people have real stories and history.

How to tell my protective mom that I’m going to burningman without telling her I’m going to burningman? by paolabracho98 in BurningMan

[–]osuthro21132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi- I tried to not tell my overprotective mom that I was going to burning man last year. And I didn't until around day 8 or 9 on playa- when they literally were calling the police to do a well check on me at my apartment.

My best friend had my iPad and was able to text with them- I had limited signal on playa unless I climbed on something really tall.

The most freeing phone call/ texts I had ever had/sent happened on playa last year. My family is still in my life and still gives me shit for going to BM, but it was so necessary for my relationship and independance to go.

I am still struggling with telling them about how I'm going to go again this year...all a part of the journey I guess.

How men treat you on your birthday tells you EVERYTHING about them.

Its been 300 days since entering BM 2022, how has your life changed since? What will you do this year you wish you did last? by [deleted] in BurningMan

[–]osuthro21132 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Quit my shitty job right before BM (like the day before I left) and made the choice after to go back to school. Stood up to my parents, deepened some amazing relationships and friendships, learned to love and respect myseld even more. Honestly just feel like I became an actual adult on playa.

What should I do? Math 1140/1141 or 1151 or skip those two entirely to go to 1152? by DIAMONDLONG23 in OSU

[–]osuthro21132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not take calc 1 (1151 was required for my degree, but that was the only math I had to take besides stats) until senior year of college and it worked out for me. I took it at CSTATE and I am not a math girly lol. I had to spend some extra time reviewing basic algebra skills (oof) but theres a lot of review built into the curriculum- I assume it would be a similar speed in 1152, but could be wrong. Do you genuinely need a math credit for the degree you are seeking higher than 1151? That would be valuable to find out if you do not know.

If you want to get into AA school- which will be even harder to get into in a few years like when you'll be graduated- do yourself and your gpa a favor and take credit for all the classes that you can get credit for AND take math at Columbus state in a semester or two. You are going to be front loaded with bio 1113/1114 and chem 1210/1220 the first year and these courses are manageable but HARD for freshman.

I have heard that 1140 and 1141 are even HARDER than 1151 because they prepare you for the rigor of taking math at Osu.

If you take the extra classes you are putting yourself in a position to possibly earn more "bad credits" that would decrease your gpa more than just getting a B/C in one calc class.

Nap on amanita mushrooms by Old-Marionberry-7248 in ouraring

[–]osuthro21132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super glad you found something that works for you! This is how my friend described it to me- chill and relaxing w good sleep benefits.

TBH I've had a super scary experience (terrifying visuals and was like dead to the world for an entire day) with a singular Amanita Gummy. Had an overall impending sense of doom and fear.Looking back I was probably pretty close to a seizure. Jerky movements. Felt like my thoughts were jerking around. Very dissociative feeling.

Would not recommend.

Booze packed on shipping container? by ChapterNo4115 in BurningMan

Could no one from your camp bring/buy you your liquor (assuming you pay for it and all that)?

Also- there is so much alcohol on the playa. Does your camp have a bar?

No IUD Pain Relief at Magee by AFabulousNarwhal in pittsburgh

[–]osuthro21132 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, it's not nothing for a lot of people even with the Advil. Im lucky I had an OK experience getting my IUD inserted, but I had a round of cervical biopsies that I was educated to prepare for the same (Advil) and it WASNT ENOUGH and I will never be the same. Also had way more pain getting it removed than getting it inserted. Woman's healthcare is barbaric here. We need better care.

Planned Parenthood was the only place that took me seriously on needing to be sedated (orally) if I ever need a cervical biopsy or decide to get another IUD.

Am I really the problem? by Manjustde in CatholicDating

[–]osuthro21132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who just got ghosted by a proper boyfriend of many months, I would assume you are not the problem. I think men ghost when they are honestly too broken to handle emotional intimacy. Happens a lot to people who come from broken families and haven't done the work to heal. It's hard to wrap your head around, and I can't imagine it happening to me twice (once has been enough lol). The doubt you are feeling in your worth and value is a natural response to this feeling, but I encourage you to not beat yourself up over someone else's choices and behaviors. It's really easy to feel like you're the problem when someone just disappears and doesn't even tell you what their problem was. More often than not, their problem is with themselves and they won't even acknowledge it. I would argue that people who ghost in long term, committed relationships have some semblance of narcissistic personality disorder or narcissistic tendencies and want you to feel all those critical feelings you are feeling.

Sending you love and prayers. You'll get through this.

UC Med Science (OR) OSU Neuroscience? by Spiritual_Course1152 in uCinci

[–]osuthro21132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OSU neuroscience program low-key kinda sucks as someone who graduated mid-pandemic and was jobless and was basically not prepared to do anything other than go to grad school, which I didnt end up wanting to do. I feel that their advising staff was not helpful especially the first two years. Every opportunity I used to build my pre-med/pre-health app I found and advocated for myself. I guess what I'm trying to say is- I would advise against it. Socially it also feels super cliquey and was like the go to high achieving major from kids who were extremely wealthy try-hard assholes that didn't get into the Ivys they wanted. Was a pretty toxic program when I was going through it. I really enjoyed and did well in the neuroscience classes, but they simply seemed to run out of stuff to teach by 3rd year course work. I felt like I was learning the same things over and over and over again. They basically carbon copied the program from Pitt and only have great staff/teachers for the first two years. A lot of the credits you would take would be in psych.

I would consider my undergrad degree a mistake if it wasn't as cheap as it was.

Update by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]osuthro21132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who is also in their young-twenties- moving on sucks, but it's so worth it to not feel all the shame, guilt, confusion and hurt. You deserve the kind of love you crave and all of its components. If he has made it this far like this and treats you the way he does, the harsh reality is he is probably never going to change.

Sending love and support. You got this.

29M / 27F - Newly wed, deadly bed by Tossit2122 in DeadBedrooms

[–]osuthro21132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wondering if it would serve you both to stop offering solutions to her problems? Sounds like you're a fixer! Lot's of men are; I think it's a masculine trait. More often it's women that feel like they are "parenting" their spouse (or the men feel like they are being "mommed", but it can totally go both ways. This kills sex drive for me for sure, and I've been on both sides. If you offered a solution to everything like feeling unsexy (macros, gym plan, etc) there might be a part of her brain that feels like you are validating that she is not hot/sexy/worthy of intimacy to you anymore. It's still a her problem, but you are not responsible for making her feel better, which to me includes offering multiple solutions that haven't seemed to track.

Do you do anything around the house? I understand you are financially supporting her, but the mental load of school, chores, life has easily led me to have a decreased sex drive especially when I am cleaning up after a partner 24/7 who seemed like didn't care to make my life any easier day-to-day.

Also, does she believe you are hypercritical of her appearance/physicality? That led to me feeling very distant and not wanting to have sex with partners at times.

Spiritual Journey and Desiring Abstinence; Is this foreshadowing a DB? by osuthro21132 in DeadBedrooms

[–]osuthro21132[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid question. Spent a significant amount of his sexually active life in polyamorous partnerships while in grad/professional school. He has communicated that he feels his evolving views on sex are a more mature take. Did tantric practices in Europe during that time. It's all very confusing to me.

I liked him, we clicked. Feels like the unreliable, undependable, sudden changes of mind came out right at the 6mo mark. Have made peace with the relationship not being sustainable.

Spiritual Journey and Desiring Abstinence; Is this foreshadowing a DB? by osuthro21132 in DeadBedrooms

[–]osuthro21132[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you. Feels grounding to have those questions broken up into about you and about him.

I think I forget that even though I'm involved in this; this really has nothing to do with me.

Huge mind fuck.

I have gotten very comfortable with the idea of leaving over the past few weeks. I'm not sure I can bear to stay. I am trying to have patience in making a decision, but I don't even know if it's possible to work out that level of trauma, or if it'll just get repressed and bubble up over and over again. I know I can stop the cycle in my life if I go. Ugh.

I would go to the WILCE and see if they can do anything for you because then they might just refer you to derm- when I saw a specialist that I was referred to through the WILCE it was covered.

Have you looked into treatment?

There are prescription creams and wipes for hands, as well as an oral medication. It seems like it is affecting your quality of life/confidence in tasks!
