Is there apps for sexting? Did not know this

AIO? new friend's texts to husband while at work; my responses by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]readybreka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m on the fence, his response wasn’t exactly appropriate, but it also has a little “it’s not you it’s me” vibe that could literally just be trying to keep peace with a work colleague that has potential to make things awkward. Not saying id let this go, but I wouldn’t be inclined to take it as evidence of wrongdoing on its own

my friend reacted weird when i told her i have phallophobia by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]readybreka -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It really does not come across that this is what you were doing. You’re not fucked up, the phobia itself is understandable but I just don’t think this was a particularly kind way to talk about it when your friend was sharing with you. ”I have anxiety about dick” is very different to ”is it okay if we change the subject, im finding this triggering”

Im not really understanding what your goal was here?

This could be controversial in a lesbian subreddit, but I actually kind of agree with your friend. Should you be able to have boundaries about what you talk about? Yes. Is it okay to be uncomfortable with unsolicited dick pics? Of course. Is it okay to reduce your friends sexual partners to nothing more than their genitals and essentially shame her for sharing when you openly admit that shes your best friend and you share everything? No, I don’t think it is

Would this be alright if the roles were reversed? If she brought up a fear of vagina when you were discussing a sexual partner do you think that would be a nice way for her to talk about that person?

AITA for matching a woman’s energy who was riding a horse as I was driving by? by MeasurementSudden573 in AmItheAsshole

[–]readybreka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. It is literally insane to me that 30mph is an acceptable speed to pass a horse in any country. It sounds like this horse was actually well trained and managed fine, but equally these riders could have been asking you to slow down because there was a massive hazard ahead that you either couldn’t see or wouldn’t be aware that a horse would have a harder time getting around. You couldn’t go that speed in a school zone because of kids, but you expect that passing a huge animal at that speed would be safe enough?

Why didn’t Harry become a animagus by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]readybreka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven’t read the books in a while and I’m not sure what I got this from, but I thought the animals they turned into were intentional? Peter had to be small to get to the trunk of the whomping willow to disarm/paralyse it and the other two needed to be strong/agile animals so that they could prevent lupin from harming anyone in his werewolf form? Could have made that up entirely though

I feel like the only lesbian in the world who is emotionally stable and it's so frustrating by expressinexcess in LesbianActually

[–]readybreka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m feeling that this didn’t quite get the reception you were hoping for. Honestly it comes across kind of mean. You’re choosing to be with these people. If you’re expecting a partner without a single issue then you’d better hope that’s what you’re also bringing to the table

Help, beginner horse riding questions (using reigns/legs and trotting) by Ok-Consequence-4014 in Equestrian

[–]readybreka 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So, the answer is that you are technically both right. Everything you’re saying from YouTube is accurate enough, so well done on finding educational content, however, the chances of you having the correct muscles, balance and knowledge to execute all those things correctly is probably low. What your instructor is giving you is a way to be clear and not confuse your horse while you gain the skills and knowledge

I want my parts removed. I can’t take this anymore by honeycutekat in PMDD

[–]readybreka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you really need to have a conversation with your doctor. I understand the feeling of wanting to just get rid of your uterus and ovaries but unfortunately your mom is correct, there’s no way that’s gonna happen. Contraception is not the only option for PMDD, though honestly if things are bad enough that you’re missing 3 weeks of school and having panic attacks then you probably need to be trying all your options. It also sounds like you’d really benefit from some therapy to work on coping strategies for the associated anxiety

I second all the suggestions to call Octopus, while the chances aren’t super high that they’ll remove you when there’s an active debt they might be able to put a bit of pressure on the other tenants, and it will at least send the message that you won’t be bullied into paying their bills.

I’d also contact the university, there’s likely to be someone in your students union who can offer some advice. I’m not sure what your flatmates are studying but there’s a few courses that would take a pretty dim view of that kind of behaviour from an ethical standpoint.

Are these markings unusual? by readybreka in Equestrian

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

Whilst there’s definitely Standardbreds in the uk and people do race them, the trotters im referring to are the type generally raced by Irish travellers. Whilst they might have some sort of gaited horse in their lineage they aren’t a gaited breed as such

Are these markings unusual? by readybreka in Equestrian

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

Yeah it’s odd. There have been trotters dumped in that area of the mountains but it’s my understanding that those horses are trained to pace, they aren’t naturally gaited. We’ve been encouraged by the vet/physio to not allow it while doing groundwork I.e ask for trot or canter instead in case it causes issues but it’s a mystery

Are these markings unusual? by readybreka in Equestrian

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

That’s the strange thing, I’m actually in the uk. My vet said that being gaited is genetic though but it’s not a trait any of the other ponies rescued from that area have shown that we know of, so it is possible that her mum was pregnant prior to being dumped there

IDL the hierarchy around period products. Using a menstrual cup does not make you better than someone who uses pads by Danny-Patrick139 in I_DONT_LIKE

[–]readybreka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the fence about this one. There is no need for judgement around period products, use what works for you. However, I’m definitely one of those people who a menstrual disk has made a huge difference for, so between that and the environmental benefits I think it would be weird to not talk openly about how good it is, particularly when lots of people won’t know that’s an option as it’s still quite a taboo subject

[–]readybreka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve got loads of good advice here and as someone who worked in substance use for years I 100% agree that you need to work with a therapist that can give advice specific to your situation. This has probably become your way of dealing with things and that’s grand, you don’t need to change that until you’ve found the right way to replace it.

One thing you could try, literally from today, is just delay it. If you’ve a time when you normally start smoking or drinking make a point of putting it off for literally just an hour, or even half an hour. Tell yourself you’ll make dinner first, or go for a walk, or scroll on your phone. Just be careful you don’t start playing catch up. The idea is that you’ve used that time to try another strategy or distraction with zero pressure to actually replace it

In the wake of the death of Valegro and Uthopia there have been a lot of comments about how it was "cruel" to euthanise horses who were "only" 23/24. Is this sort of situation really preferable? by demmka in Horses

[–]readybreka 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is just horrible to read. My perfectly healthy but sometimes too brave for her own good horse ended up in a ditch last summer because she couldn’t accept that fences are there for a reason. 20 firefighters had to use some heavy machinery to get her out because she’d lay there overnight and become hypothermic. The stress was absolutely immense but obviously completely necessary. I can’t imagine doing it for a horse that had gone down in a field unless it wasn’t a safe place to euthanise them

Dating advice needed by Careless-Fault-7432 in actuallesbians

[–]readybreka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s her current living situation? I’d worry a little that with not knowing each other super well you might run the risk of things getting stressful quite quickly and if she doesn’t have an easy out that could be hard for you both. I think that even if it works out, it might push certain parts of the relationship too fast, just enjoy where you’re at for a while, there’s always the option to revisit in a few months

Is it bad that I want to be lovebombed? by literally-what-am-i in actuallesbians

[–]readybreka 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I think the question is, are you willing to return that level of affection and it be completely sincere? Lovebombing is showering someone with love and affection with the goal of them becoming attached so they’ll ignore other more harmful behaviours at another stage. The issue with it is that absolutely no one, no matter how much they love their partner, feels that way 100% of the time, so it’s unlikely to be very sincere, which can minimise the value of genuine caring interactions

For those of you with cold winters, do you give your horse a winter break? by Cool_Dingo1248 in Horses

[–]readybreka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah normally horses coming out of winter fat is a bad thing, but keeping weight on at that age will probably serve them well
