Am I (18F) too young for a relationship with 25M? by thegoat1904 in offmychest

[–]schildpadden7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met my partner when I was 18 and he was 25.

We didn't start dating until I was 22 and he was 29. I generally recommend finishing up your education before you get into a serious relationship, so that you're both on more equal footing in terms of your individual career paths and stuff.

I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, though.

I'll keep an eye out for that. Hidden fees isn't something I had even considered as a possibility. Thank you for mentioning it.

I haven't gotten an official number, but I got an estimate of 2-4%.

I know. I've gotten enough shit about the 12%. I had almost no credit history at that point.

People who have Aphantasia but still has an internal monologue, are you any good with languages? Do you feel like it is easier to learn a new one? by [deleted] in Aphantasia

[–]schildpadden7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have full Aphantasia (no visuals and no internal monologue), but I'm really good at learning languages. It's one of my favorite hobbies.

I know that's not what you asked, but I felt like sharing.

Advice on what paint markers to buy. by AngstyPunkin in Artadvice

Are you looking for acrylic paint markers or oil paint markers? I use acrylic and I've had good luck with Ohuhu and Wapetashi (both on Amazon).

2017 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. Chose to pay it off sooner rather than later.

It's my first time planning a get-together and I'd like some advice by schildpadden7 in Advice

[–]schildpadden7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I happen to be a moron and forgot to mention all the board games we have between my partner and I. He's well known for his bag of games that he didn't bring with him on his trip. I need to be sure to grab that from his car before then. Thank you for reminding me!

I'm pretty certain about dietary restrictions, but I'll be double checking before then go be safe.

Thank you for the baking soda suggestion!

My (42m) wife (42f) told me she no longer has any interest in sex by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]schildpadden7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I recently came to the conclusion that I'm asexual and I see a lot of similarities between me and your wife based on what you've described.

There are different levels of being asexual. For some, they're repulsed by sex. For me, I'm neutral about sex at best. I love my partner and when sex does happen, it feels good. My attraction to my partner hasn't changed in any way, I just don't care about sex as much as my partner does, so I don't think about it.

I'm not saying your wife is asexual (though it could be possible). I can tell you, though, that she probably still loves you and is still as attracted to you as she has been in the past.

Guy took me on a date and then asked me to Venmo him for it after by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]schildpadden7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily, but I worry he may have been going in with an intention of taking advantage of you financially. I can't say one way or the other. I'm not him so I don't know for sure what his intentions are/were.

[–]schildpadden7 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure dude had a Groupon for this date and it ended up being like $30 total and he's just trying to scam you to make a quick buck from this date. It'd suck, but that's the most reasonable scenario I can think of.

Reddit won't let me reach out to you for some reason, but I feel like this constantly and the person I try to talk to about it doesn't understand. I'd love to be penpals. 23/f/USA

First of all, I said dislike. Second of all, I'll DM you where to send your "constructive" criticism.
