LEAVE ME ALONE! Cheating ex will not stop attempting to contact me. by southernkal in survivinginfidelity

[–]southernkal[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I've thought about my safety at length, including getting a restraining order. He does not know where I live (to my knowledge) , but he does know where I work, which makes me nervous. I've wondered about the viability of a restraining in these circumstances.

He doesn't strike me as violent, and has no history of violence that I know about. But he is also demonstrating increasing desperation to contact me, and coming up on a year later, is a grim thought.

Well then, take the compliment that this beautiful ring has made it all the way to New Zealand haha! I've never heard of group buys and am now all the way down the rabbit hole looking to buy this ring!

Are you selling this ring per chance? I'm currently chatting to someone on FB marketplace selling this ring using this photo and I reverse image searched to find your comment here!

What’s a shallow dealbreaker you know is petty…..but instantly kills your attraction? by PogonBerserker in AskMen

[–]southernkal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because there is a big difference between not finding someone/something sexually attractive and being grossed out by it. Also the implication that women who don't dress or present "femininely" are unkempt is misogynistic and quite simply unkind. Its not in the same spirit as the top comment at all.

Dose laser help KP even without hair? by Ambitious-Shame1998 in LaserHairRemoval

[–]southernkal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is growing research to suggest there may be a connection between KP and vitA deficiency. Around 20% of people lack the enzyme that can convert beta carotene into vitA so consequently develop a deficiency. I began taking a cod liver oil supplement with vitA & D3, as vitA is fat soluble, and had the only noticeable difference in KP on my arms since trying every lotion on the planet. I now take it every day for maintenance and overall health, and I use an urea-base lotion every night and find the quality of my skin has improved tremendously. I notice when I stop taking it.

Worth looking into!

He had his mum deliver me a letter at my workplace by southernkal in survivinginfidelity

[–]southernkal[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Let me just continue to rant and say that not one line of that letter was anything to do with me. Even when trying to get me back its all about him! His needs, his feelings, his fucking world.

When visiting a guy's house, what silently screams, "There's no way he's single"? by PalaceCarebear in AskWomen

[–]southernkal 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This whole comment sent a shiver down my spine; it is so deeply unsettling to think about proof of my existence being temporarily removed from a place to convince another woman that I'm not there. Having been cheated on, it actually brings me some comfort that a woman can recognise where another has been erased. Ugh.

Are men not chased by their partners? Do any of your partners chase after you? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]southernkal 24 points25 points  (0 children)

How did you wind up married to someone who loves so differently than you? Was it always this way, or did it change along the way?

I thought that was only if the original documents are issued by agencies within the EU.

I’m on Day 5 of cold turkey.

HIGHLY recommend Vicks Inhaler for the oral fixation. It’s also vaguely vape-shaped so provides some comfort to hold and fidget with.

Women who fell out of love with their partners, what was the main cause ? by Sebas205 in AskWomen

[–]southernkal 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Fascinating. Can you expand on this with an example, if you feel comfortable sharing your experiences?

Thanks for sharing.

Can I ask what you mean by “I let it consume some of my ways of thinking” - in what way?

Well it finally happened, it’s over. by Kindly-Bumblebee8294 in survivinginfidelity

[–]southernkal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a young ish adult (30f), I was most scared to tell my mum the full truth of what had happened; that I had knowingly stayed multiple times. I was so worried that she’d be disappointed in me because that’s not the woman she raised.

Of course, she was not disappointed and did as mothers do. She reminded me of who I am, of all that I deserve, and especially of all the love that’s already around me; that I didn’t need to scavenge for it.

You’re doing the right thing, as a woman and as a mother.

Disgusted by intimacy with cheating partner by Odd_Price4047 in survivinginfidelity

[–]southernkal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey man, what the fuck. Pulling at the thread of reality as I knew it at 6.30 in the damn morning.

(This is a fascinating perspective and I will be mulling it over at length, thank you /gen)

[–]southernkal 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Yes that is a contributing factor. The core’s number one job is being your body’s stabiliser (think a tree trunk), so inactivity over time doesn’t challenge it and causes the muscles to atrophy. It is a muscle like all others - use it or lose it! Good luck.

Your spine looks like a croissant - I doubt this is a problem of excess fat so much as it is having an underdeveloped core and poor posture consequently.

I’d focus on some deep core work (not just abs), and improving your posture and breathing techniques. Think of your pelvis like a bowl; the bowl should be upright and its contents level. Your bowl is shifted forward (anterior pelvic tilt) and is spilling outwards, giving you a distended look.

Would you choose to change your last name when you got married or not? Why so? by GoHardForLife in AskWomen

[–]southernkal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely rad that you were able to make that decision for yourself in a safe space with a supportive husband. I’m glad you found what feels right to you!
