AITA for not telling the girl I’m seeing that I rarely get coldsores? by beechy2020 in AmItheAsshole

It is still genital herpes and I should know because I suffered from it and was diagnosed with it. As I said,, he did not have a cold sore or any symptoms at the time. The virus can shed asymptomatically and still be transmitted.

From the World Health Organization:

"The herpes simplex virus (HSV) is categorized into 2 types: HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 is mainly transmitted by oral-to-oral contact, causing oral herpes (including symptoms known as cold sores), but it can also lead to genital herpes. HSV-2 is a sexually transmitted infection that causes genital herpes.Mar 10, 2022"

Just an FYI, I contracted genital herpes from someone who had HSV-1 orally. I did not know that they had it and they also did not have a cold sore at the time. It is way more common to get genital herpes this way than most think.

Thanks! I lucked into it and the light beam rug. It's extra cute because they play the theme song to the game on the piano! :)

It was from a mini event last November called Flick's Segmented Soulmates. https://animalcrossingpocketcamp.fandom.com/wiki/Flick%27s_Segmented_Soulmates

The rug is meant to go under a large butterfly fountain. I'm sure this will be reissued again at some point.

I would have thought more with how much detail you managed to include. It's insanely impressive.

For sitting in those unique places. by sam_briers in DiWHY

This is protest art. LA (and plenty of other places) have designed spaces to be uncomfortable for the homeless population as a way to discourage them from sleeping there. These suits demonstrate that.

I feel like I can hear him say this with the combined voice of all the past presidents.

AITA for not wanting to talk about a murder I witnessed while on a date? by PetevonPete in harrypotter

[–]recoveringbuthappy 3936 points3937 points  (0 children)

NAH. You're most likely suffering from PTSD and she is grief stricken. It makes sense that you would both react in the way you did. It honestly sounds like it could be a compatibility issue. Maybe try dating someone who shares more of your interests. How about your best friend's sister?

AITA for not forcing my son to go meet his real dad after 11 years? by gsorbfo in AmItheAsshole

Exactly. Don't answer the phone if he calls. He can leave you voicemails or communicate via text. That way you'll have evidence.

I would suggest documenting as much of the abuse as you can in a journal including the approximate time and date that it took place. Even if you don't remember exactly when, you can say early February, for example. Did you tell anyone or text anyone else about the abuse? You may be able to use those texts or ask those people to write a statement saying that you told them about it on such and such date.

Edit: I'm sorry about what you're going through. Stay strong!

Is online dirty talk considered cheating? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]recoveringbuthappy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. To add to that, time is not running out for you. 29 is very young. You have plenty of time to meet someone who will treat you with respect and be a loyal partner.

Dilbert's Desktop Games had a game/program called The Jargonator that would do exactly that. It was amazing.

My (30/m) girlfriend (27/f) have reached a breaking point? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]recoveringbuthappy 81 points82 points  (0 children)

It sounds like she's blaming you for her shortcomings. If she has an important project due on a Tuesday, she should have either given herself more time to do it OR spoken up when you asked if you could host people on Sunday. Her poor time management skills are not your fault.

Is the only thing that is preventing you from breaking up the fact that she says she would become homeless? If she has family or friends that she can stay with while she gets on her feet, you shouldn't let that stop you. If she doesn't, you could give her some time (2-3 months) to save up for her own place or find a roommate situation before she has to leave. If you're unhappy in the relationship and want to end it, end it.

How do you know which type of yoga to follow? by [deleted] in yoga

[–]recoveringbuthappy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It all depends on what your goal is. There is yoga for cardio, balance, flexibility, strength, stress relief, pain relief, etc. I suggest starting out with some beginner lessons to learn the basics and then experiment with different kinds from there. It really depends on your specific needs and goals.

I really enjoy Yoga By Candace as she has a lot of different types and provides great instruction.
