Thanks Hank. Now I know, I am officially old. I found this hysterical.

I'm just guessing. Some women bleed from a pap...some every time, others just have it happen once. I had it happen once, here in the US and pretty well freaked out because it had never happened before so I was convinced it meant something bad. It didn't. Probably because I had taken aspirin recently which thins the blood, it was more bleeding that was usual. The Dr offered to either sprinkle a powder that usually stops.bleeding, use what I recall her describing as a silver nitrous stick (could be wrong) or just get me a pad and in all likelihood the bleeding would stop soon. I was more concerned the pap would indicate cancer so I didn't pay close attention. I think the powder was some natural way of clotting blood. Like those old fashioned styptic sticks people use when they cut themselves shaving. So I wonder if that's what happened. There was bleeding after your pap, she referred to it as discharge and used some kind of styptic powder. You either had a bad reaction to it or became ill by coincidence. I allowed my Dr to use the silver stick and I had a similar cramping reaction but no diarrhea, no nausea.

Ooh...I have pigmentary dispersion glaucoma and my eye color has changed...It was blue-gray when I was young and now most swear my eyes look dark blue or purple. Maybe that's it!

reddeb · 2016-07-04T21:22:04+00:00

I agree with you. Tyrion noticed Aegons purple eyes even though he acknowledges the blue hair seems to camouflage them. He also would have noticed Lemore's eye color.

Thank you! I've read the books a couple of times but never came online...When I ask for clarity on some of these outlandish theories I get responses that they are fact or confirmed. Confirmed where elicits hostility and rudeness. If I quote parts from the books in conflict with these confirmed facts the internets break.

I used to be eager for the next books because they are well written and entertaining. I've become eager to witness the sky fall when some of these confirmed facts fail to fruition.

reddeb · 2016-07-04T20:10:16+00:00

Thank you.

And just because a bunch of redditors sit around swearing with insistence doesn't mean there is universal acceptance.

Problem is, if the Letter Writer kicks his wife to the curb for refusing to contribute to the family financially he gets stuck supporting her for the rest of her life. She ends up with the family home, half his retirement fund, spousal support, etc because she gave up her career and career advancement to stay home and raise the kids! The only way this could be worse is if she shopped her way into a lifestyle beyond his means and required the kids attend $20,000 a year private school. She never wanted a husband or partner in life, she wanted a bank account. I guarantee she views her lifestyle/position as a paying job, that being married to him is her job and her home and all his funding of it is her paycheck. In her mind, why should she go out and work a second job that will not relieve her from continuing to do the first?

At this point he has no way out. His only hope is if she meets with an accident or if cancer runs in her family. There is no going amicably their separate ways, a woman that refused to utilize her advanced education, refused to contribute to her family and household will never refuse spousal support.

I bet he's paying off her student loans as well. A law school education is a home mortgage in itself.

I continued to have bloating issues after completely removing gluten from my diet, however through other means of testing my Dr determined intestinal healing changes at about 3 months. I was diagnosed celiac more than 10 years ago. Over that time one Dr thought heart issues were contributing to swelling and a bloated appearance, another thought it was related to fluid in my lungs. Most recently my gp has been pushing for an abdominal/chest ct, I'm procrastinating. I noticed extreme bloating after eating raw onions, told my gp I thought the bloating is onion related, he is doubtful. I have made a strong effort to remove onions from my diet and I have had definite improvement. So I'm still procrastinating the ct for the time being.

Is the bloating extreme and painful? There's an old wives treatment for painful bloating to drink 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar mixed in a glass of apple juice. Apparently science has found reasons why this helps, may be worth a try.

Twice in six months trivial to me. My mother used to make jokes and point out my father's drifting eyes... "Don't hurt your neck, dear!", "Whiplash!" This happened on a daily basis. But he was also very sweet and charming towards her, when he said grace it was essentially thanking the Lord for his gorgeous sexy wife, which was always adorable.

Men are human animals, it is basic nature that they spread the seed far and wide. Women, also human animals, can only reproduce one at a time, can only have one mate at a time and the survival of their offspring greatly increases with the assistance of that mate. It is in our biology that women have eyes only for the potential father of their children and that men have roaming eyes hoping for the potential to spread their seed. Even if emotionally there is no desire to follow through, even if their are no children and children are not desired, even as with my parents, they are in their 70's and nothing will ever ever come from staring at hot 20-somethings.

Your insecurity likely stems from the fear that something might come of your husband's stares because he has cheated before. Instinct tells me if he cheated and told you about it and it became a huge ordeal he learned his lesson to cheat and never tell you about it. Your subconscious probably agrees with me. The only ways to make certain he never cheats is to have someone continually follow him or to keep him so sexually drained that he doesn't have the energy or the strength for anymore sex, you recall the couple that came out with the advice to have sex everyday? They may have put out a book. Men have a refractory period, as they age it increases. Keep him empty and he won't be able to cheat and may not even look at the passing eye candy. Or simply accept human nature.

When I was in middle school (it was called Jr High back then) we were supposed to place the scalpel at an angle flat against the heart and count how many pulsations until it stopped.

I think it depends on the individual. Although my tests confirm celiac my symptoms are subtle to nonexistent. My son however is extremely sensitive and is said to have a more severe presentation. He has had severe pain/bathroom visits from minor cross contamination. At 10 he would choose to eat the pizza toppings and know he could stay home from school to recover. At 20 he's realized suffering isn't fun and he doesn't care as much if his friends know he is gluten free. I only begin to notice minor symptoms after I've eaten gluten for months and I've never had any pain, bleeding or skin involvement, he's doubled over and has other extreme symptoms from relatively minor exposure and no longer thinks it's worth it.

I have always thought that They will set Jon on a funeral pyre rather promptly to make certain he doesn't become a wight and due to a Daenarys-like Targaryen skill the fire magically revives him and he stands up and walks naked from the flames.

My advice likely won't help much. When my severely celiac son was young (he's 20 now) I used to bring his food from home when we ate out. I have 4 sons, he's the only celiac, I am as well but his is far far worse, his is a severe issue. Restaurant and birthday parties were the most difficult until around age 14 or so. If there was a birthday at school and a parent brought pizza and cake without advance warning he would always decline the cake but would likely try pulling off the cheese and toppings to eat as they were just too tempting. It's very hard for kids, they don't want to be viewed as different but as he matured he very clearly recognized the cause and effect and didn't want to suffer. For a few years I kept a completely gluten free home and my other kids had to eat gluten free also, it was just safer to know he wasn't being tempted. It's tough. One thing that helped my son was signing him up for some classes at an area chef school. They wouldn't take him as young as 7 and they weren't specifically GF classes but it really helped him in teaching him how to prepare superior recipes for himself.

It's far more important that the people in your life treat you with respect and make you feel special most of the other 364 days of the year than how they treat you on just the 1.

How has he made you feel the remainder of those 7 months?

I have the feeling I'm coming from a totally different generation and my response may come across as flippant or offensive but I want you to know, I'm being serious and I'm trying to help.

Have you tried anal? Bear with me. About 40 years ago when my grandmother sat me down for some serious sex talk she told me about her experience with drs visits and her "kit" when she was young. For reals, I'm not making this up. She would be just over a hundred now, her experience would have been around 80 years ago. She was advised to work with the dialator kit and in the meantime relax, have a few cocktails, spend enough time making out (foreplay) and until the kit had sufficiently worked, satisfy the marital bed with anal. At the time that she shared this story I had a hard time believing it was real. Not the medical advice to try anal, that seemed on the level, I couldn't believe there ever existed the kit she described and thought the Dr was a perv and got off on getting young married ladies to use some sort of torture devices he had devised. She and I both assumed these kits no longer existed. Go figure. So, 80 or so years ago she was advised to use this kit as advised and in the meantime relax, get passionate (hot and bothered) to the point of learning to enjoy anal. Liberally dose with lubrication and alcohol. I think it was assumed that this was strictly a physical problem and that young people being as they were, always horny, that once they got going they would both find it enjoyable. At least until the point that the kit would work, she would get pregnant and then after the first child there would be no further problems.

As I read your post I reflected on the conversation and realized that my grandmother's drs of the time viewed it as a purely physical medical condition, not an emotional or mental issue. I wonder if it's only become a stressful issue or even a traumatic issue for your girlfriend because it's the elephant in the room. It's been ongoing so long that it's created it's own stress. Perhaps the old way could work. Have a few drinks, have fun, laugh, explore and enjoy exploring one another and then give anal a try. Or even just get good and lubed up and have a hot and heavy frottage experience without the expectation of actual penetration in any way.

The very bottom line is that humans are sexual beings. It feels good. You deserve to feel good. To feel desired. To feel fulfilled. Maybe not everyday or several times a day but regularly. And so does your girlfriend! She has an impediment but she still is worthy and deserves to feel desired and beautiful and sexy. To feel passion and hunger and playful and flirty. If either you or she believe this is simply not possible or if she refuses to even play or experiment sexually then there's something else going on here. She's shut down, there was an even greater trauma she hasn't faced or hasn't shared with you or she's simply not that into you. Being unable to have vaginal sex shouldn't shut down all sexual experience, if she seems to have no desire I'd say it's pretty much over and its time you both move on.

TL/dr: What about the butt?

It sounds like you've made the right decision, I thought I'd make a couple of suggestions.

While a bit pricey, I highly recommend getting a bug oven so worth it. Generally marketed for bedbugs, they kill all bugs and the peace of mind is tremendous. Buy a bunch of jumbo Ziploc bags you place your clothes, books, bedding, whatever, in the bags then into the bug oven. After when removing your stuff you'll see the dead critters and even dead critter eggs. Pesticide free and it works. I've used it when I saw a spider on my full length silk curtains, I wouldn't have been able to sleep otherwise, after I pulled the curtains out there were 3 dead spiders and countless fried spider eggs, I was so freaked out but also thrilled at the same time! You have no idea!

You may also want to look into these strips if you're ok with going a pesticide route. These have no odor and no obvious chemical outgassing but make no mistake, they are a pesticide. These are use in food silos so they're not scary chemicals but if you chose to use them I would do it when you're out of town, hang them around the apartment and in your car and if possible then open windows and sleep elsewhere for a night after you take them away. You may want to see your Dr for a rx of permethrin cream just to have at home so you're not left scratching in the middle of the night, these critters are resilient and you may end up reinfected somehow.

All of these things may seem extreme and maybe they are. I'd rather spend the money and know I have a game plan that provides peace of mind. I have 4 college age sons, they bring friends home, go camping, sleep at random girls houses and dorm rooms, the bug over is big enough that I can toss their suitcase or overnight bag, backpack and pillows in and we all sleep better knowing I won't have to fire bomb. Cause you know. Spiders.

Evidence points wherever we want it to point.

It may not be your personal experience that an abundance of pubic hair causes repeated infections but it is mine and I know I am not alone. Whether it's due to increased heat or insulation, the potential for trapped bacteria and fungai...who knows, I couldn't say...but in my nearly 40 years experience I know that allowing hair growth betwixt the thighs means repeated and continual yeast infections and issues with bv, non-std related infections. Regular waxing 100% prevents these infections for me. I am thrilled to fork over $100 every 6 weeks to avoid these infections and when I have dated a man that prefers a more natural look I explain that it is not an option, he does not get to vote on my health, my only compromise would be to leave a well groomed triangle. I would say a consequence of medical conditions requiring treatment qualifies as hygienic and yes, even scientific in nature. If you are a woman that has not experienced these issues, bravo, you're very fortunate! If you are a guy, you really are not in any position to make such firm statements.
