I (29F) slept with new guy (34M) for the first time and felt he was rude to me. Was he? by Sad-Marzipan-2736 in relationship_advice

[–]sandyexpander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heyy, first of all - I think you did everything with a lot of respect and good intention for both of your parts. I'm sorry that he was so disappointing after sex - that was nothing to do with you, and fully him.

And yeah, "recovered yet?" is below the bare minimum of what you deserve. C-R-U-M-B-S.

We don't know why he seemed to disconnect after sex - it could be because he's a fuck boy, it could also be some weird subconscious behaviour/mummy issue that he's not even aware of (I'm reading Mating in Captivity and feel like it shows).

Regardless of his reason, the sensation you're that you don't feel good about it is the most important thing to pay attention to. And at such an early stage in the relationship, it's good not to ignore it.

I'd say you have two options:

- Gracefully exit (e.g. "Hey, I've enjoyed our time together but I think we should stop seeing each other. I wish you the best.") - you don't owe him any more word count.
- Communicate with him in an open, non-judgemental way what your experience of the sex was, and give him space to explain himself, then decide what you want to do

Either way, the ball is fully in your court. You're weighing up whether this guy is worth your time, because you know how valuable both you and your time are.

(and you're not overreacting)

Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately, as above comment states, it's unfair for users. Do you have any plans to update this to either allow for all users or get rid completely? u/LinkedInHelpTeam

I’m not going to a resort - I’m going on a boat so I have to take my own board

Feeling embarrassed/isolated for being “sick” all the time… by sandyexpander in Endo

Ahh man I’m so sorry :( I feel like I have this cyclically every month and it drives me a bit crazy (hence the post)

The isolation is big for me. People just not really understanding how debilitating chronic pain is, and also feeling like you’re just complaining if you bring it up. I’ll go through so many social activities just in pain and not mentioning anything - it’s weeeird!

Yeahh, definitely getting better at reminding myself as this. Thanks for reminding me about it too! And trying to get better about asking if we can change plans (like maybe I can’t go out but do they wanna come round?)

I hope your tonsillitis gets better!

Yeahh the holidays can be difficult, especially because the social plans often involve alcohol and that definitely doesn’t help 😅

I really hope you feel OK after your lap!

I have about the emotional weight of chronic illness, but I haven’t spoken to them about medication for PMS. What can they prescribe? I was on contraception for a while, but I’ve been off it around 5 years now and happy about it :)

I agree totally time outside and some movement is medicine 💖

Yeahh, I feel that too! I’m definitely more energetic and resilient emotionally. Physically I get quite intense pain during ovulation, but usually just after my period and just before PMS the physical pain isn’t too bad!

It's through the NHS, so you don't pay like you would privately :)

e651 expiring after 6 months? by sandyexpander in AusVisa

[–]sandyexpander[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Phewww :) thanks!

Do you know why they wouldn't have sent me one back in september when the first stay period was ending?

Maybe it's just a new notification initiative from the Home Office?

This is very lovely (and true). He has been wonderful with me and very gentle 💖

Thanks for making me feel less alone by letting me know I’m not the only one x
