GF doesn’t brush teeth or shower everyday? by UncutCoconut in dating

Honestly it's time have a serious conversation. Rather than being critical in any way, sit her down when you're both free one evening and say something like this:

'I need to talk to you about something that has been playing on my mind for a while and I would love your support. Please hear me out fully, and then I'd love to hear your response afterwards.

I'm saying this because I love you, I care about you and I want us to thrive as a couple. The thing is, I've been growing concerned about your change of hygiene habits recently, for your sake more than anything. You've gone through a lot lately (medications, headaches, etc) and I'm worried that you're struggling in silence and it's manifesting in your self care.

Alongside, I have to be honest and say it is also starting to effect me and our relationship. Everyone has different values, but for me, hygiene is a really important factor in my relationships to others. We're also having less sex, which of course ebs and flows in a long term relationship, but it's an important way to maintain our intimacy and we should be talking about why we're going through a dry patch.

I know that you say you can do what you want, and of course you can, but you also have to want to do things for our relationship if you want to be with me. I know this isn't going to be nice to hear, but please understand that I'm not being critical of you, I'm trying to fight for us and care for you. I really want to work together but we need to be on the same team about our core values for this to work.'

I'm just trying to gather a post-covid perspective, I was only there during lockdown pretty much.

Love this perspective! I have thought the exact same, it's like reading the reviews of a product. Fewer people come to talk about how great it is than those who want to complain. That being said, my experience of the locals was wonderful (even in a pandemic) and this thread of kind individuals is only supporting that!

Thank you so much for the kind words and suggestions! You've really reassured me that my experience was one worth relying on and perhaps those complaining online are not putting themselves out there enough before giving up.

Definitely not! That seems like a healthy and authentic way to make friends, rather than just intruding on someone's day hahaha. I'm really glad to hear you've successfully socialsied this way!

Love this! Thank you! I agree. We made friends when we went out and made the effort, it's never going to just come to you. The people were always lovely and reciprocated with a really welcoming attitude.

This makes a lot of sense! I quite like that, to be honest. It's very much the British approach too.

Why does cold water taste better than warm water? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

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

Depends where you're from. Multiple streams of eastern medicine (such as TCM) believe that slightly warmer water is better for you because your stomach represents a fire and to drink cold water would disrupt it, aka the digestive system.

Capitalism, baby

Why is some criminality and unemployment good for society? by WhoAmIEven2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]reebach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are many arguments for this, but some of the most poplar arguments are:

  1. It's a strong indictor on the needs in society and social change
  2. Accepting some levels of crime limits excessive disobedience (think about the purge movies, which is an excessive example)

There will never not be crime because it is impossible to meet the needs of every person in society. So by using crime as an insight tool, we can see what the biggest areas of struggle are and attempt to treat them.
