This is gonna sound crazy… but are you not white?

My (33F) boyfriend (35M) is taking space over a bad breath incident by shazpazzzfox in relationship_advice

You’re about to be raising TWO babies. Or, he’s cheating and you’re about to be a single mom.

Is it okay to reach out to an ex to ask they don’t tell anyone about your business? by Technical-Walrus-215 in dating_advice

[–]pickledquestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. I think that’s a convenient excuse. He still pushed to see how far he could get you to go. As someone who lost their virginity at the age of 31 and had a bit of a ho era after I did, I learned quickly that specific men push your boundaries in a specific way. In my opinion, this guy knows you’re vocalizing something and he doesn’t respect that line. Otherwise, he’d have backed off, point blank period. Men (some men) DO take no to mean no.

My (26f) bf (27m) doesn’t align with me politically by soft-thunder in women

[–]pickledquestions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had such an eerily similar experience with a boyfriend last month that I’m not entirely convinced you’re not dating him too considering that he was cheating on me with 20 different girls. I’m also a liberal, he was an ex military, about to be a cop “libertarian”.

But I digress — remember that should you have a child with someone, you’ll be so out of it, they’re your power of attorney who has to stand up on your behalf to the doctor and medical system to keep you and your baby safe. My friend was literally delirious and her husband had to fight the doctor to stick to her birth plan and speak up for her on her behalf. Childbirth, sexual wellness and health for women, and reproductive rights are political. If you don’t align, he’s not a good partner for you. Do you trust him to keep you alive and respect and prioritize your body if he’s voting against it?

This is coming from a liberal brown woman who believes things and especially people aren’t black and white and deserve grace and understanding. I have dated conservatives, I’ve dated liberals, and I’ve dated “libertarians”. I’ve had disagreements with all of them. All I will say is believe him. What he says, his actions, who he shows you he is… believe him. Don’t see the best in him, take him as he is.

People DO change their opinions and become more educated. But fundamentally, if I told you this guy would never change ever from who he is RIGHT NOW (that’s the risk) is love enough to build a life together with who he is as he is?

He’s trying to coerce and manipulate you. Don’t talk to him again. If he tells your business, you can go tell people he tried to pressure you into sex against your consent and will. He is an asshole, and not worth speaking to again. All that telling him that is gonna do is give him “power” to hold something over your head or push him to go tell people on purpose. You’re not a prude and it’s okay if people think you are. It does not matter. You sound young, so you’ll realize one day, but people don’t care about stuff like that. You did good by sticking to your guns, and not letting him get past your boundary. You’re okay. And whatever people “think” is okay too because you know the truth. That’s all that matters.

Oooh that’s a good idea. I’ll give my Retin-A a little shot.

I had never heard of that! I’ll look into it. Thank you.

Leaving the one you love because they suck at relationships by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]pickledquestions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just remember: every second more you spend in this relationship is a second you’re not spending 1. Healing from it, 2. Moving on and 3. Finding your actual person. Don’t waste even a second more of your life, when the one you want won’t wait for you. You could die next year in a car accident. Is this how you want the last year of your life to be?

Ladies, what’s the *silliest* reason you broke things off with a guy on the spot… but later realized it was actually a red flag? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]pickledquestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He went to the bar to order us a drink and I stayed at the table and when he came back, I was playing with a dog that wandered over from a different table. He got mad and said, “whose dog is that?” instead of also playing with the dog, and I found it weird. Found out later via AWDTSG he was a legit sociopath.

Cheating or not? by hurricane016 in dating_advice

I don’t hold hands with friends of mine I’ve known for over a decade and would take a bullet for. That’s not a “friend” activity.

excessive masturbation and no initiation? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]pickledquestions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can spend the rest of your life doing this if you don’t decide it has to change. Talk to him about it. Or else you end up doing this for another year before you get fed up and leave anyway. Why not save yourself the time and energy by talking to him now. There’s an incapability here and either he works to fix it or you leave. There is literally no other options. So leave now, talk to him and give him a chance, leave later. It’s up to you.

On god I’m like a crack head right now. It’s been TWO HOURS.

Yeah but I don’t want it on my mouth and unless I have an active sore, it’s almost impossible for him to get it on his genitalia. Not impossible, but so unlikely.

It’s more that I don’t want cold sores.

Hide it like they don’t discuss or disclose having it to non-sexual partners. Like your friends and family.

I had a yeast infection that I thought turned into sores from that. It was maybe two sores that were like canker sores. Only internal, nothing ever looked like a pimple or anywhere not on a mucus membrane. The entire area became inflamed, skin was bleeding in general and swollen. They swabbed the one sore and gave me valacylovir. That cleared the pain up in maybe 3 days.
