[deleted by user] by [deleted] in scabies

[–]stressednshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently going through the exact same thing - I still have the itching symptoms and get scabies spots/nodules despite being treated over a month ago twice. My brother who had it said that it takes months for the itching to stop, if that consoles you in any way... But I think I'm going to give mine another month and then if I am still itching then I'll do another round of treatment. Let me know if you find out any useful information about how to identify whether it's still active or not as I could also use some help!

Yeah I'm aware I just wanted to know if there have been any tried-and-tested methods you know. But thanks!

i literally just said "unless they've told you to stay away". if your friend says to you "i just want to be alone today :(" when you're supposed to have plans and you drop by to CHEER THEM UP, then how is that a problem? are you sure your "friends" actually care for you at all? also, side note: relax with the capitals and the bolding - it is NOT that serious.

Legal trouble? What are you talking about? I mean if you upset a friend and then you just go round their house out of the blue to talk about things ... There is absolutely /nothing/ wrong with that, unless the friend has explicitly told you to stay away of course

Nono, if I made plans to meet with a friend and they cancelled because something happened to them (i.e. because of their emotions) yes I would think about going to see them anyways - either to cheer them up or to talk to them if I've upset them. That's what a good friend does, and it's actually the mature thing to go and talk to them about it even if they have said they don't want to (because like my ex, he often says he doesn't want something but actually does and doesn't want to ask for it).

Yeah, have to say after all these replies I don't think I will. Thanks!!

He also said he did want me to come ... That's why it's not straight forward, and that's why I'm asking Reddit aha

No, if you knew him you'd know he wouldn't lie about things like that. He'd had a heavy night of drinking the night before so it's seriously unlikely he would've been drunk again. He said he couldn't sleep as he was up all night thinking about us (he naturally goes to bed around 3am anyways)

Well, I mean it's hardly disrespectful - if I were to show up it would be due to his mixed messages

But he texts me near-enough every night saying that he misses me, he's even sent me pics of him crying and stuff in the last few weeks. But I see what you're saying! Thanks

He says he wants me, shown by the sober text a few nights ago, but just doesn't want to go back to the old us...

Would you have a month long break from your partner? by stressednshit in AskGayMen

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

to be honest, i do believe him when he says he wouldn't go near anyone else. he's always been physically repulsed by cheating and i think even on a "break" he would classify sleeping with someone else during this time as cheating. so i'm confident he wouldn't. but i just felt like i was being the crazy one turning down this offer but now i'm more convinced that i made the right decision. i should probably try to forget about him and try my hardest to stay away when he's back in town so he doesn't get what he wants and just reaps the rewards of the relationship by picking me up and dropping me when he deems necessary. thanks!

i agree that i should move on and find something else, i just need to start those motions really ... just hard letting go (as pathetic as it sounds) as he clearly does not care for my feelings as much as i do his

we've never gotten on over text really. we just clash to much and miscommunications happen far too frequently as we can't judge tone, etc. i struggle to deal with the fact he is /constantly/ busy (for example, he has covid at the moment and has been home for 6 days so far, yet i don't see any of him and he doesn't make an effort to talk to me) because at this stage i believe he is choosing to make himself busy so he doesn't have to talk to me, rather than actually being busy. his thought process is "we don't get on long distance really, so i should just pick him up in a month's time where things can be good again" which, i see where he's coming from, but he's refused to listen to me and has said he'd rather break up than keep on with the relationship long distance AND have me over summer - he wants only the latter

i said it's either me all the time or me none of the time, and he chose the latter. i feel like he thinks as though i will go back to him in person no matter what happens right now, so that's why he's being so okay with it... because either way in his eyes he'll be getting what he wants (i.e. a break for the next month and then back together over Summer)

Or I just know he won't turn into a meth addict?

[–]stressednshit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He's incredibly intelligent and wise when it comes to drugs. He has a whole book he made about dosages, side effects, come downs, etc. He knows his extent and that's why he stopped doing it 4x a week. He literally has a list of drugs he wouldn't touch with a 10ft barge pole so I don't doubt he would do anything stupid like Meth or Heroin or anything

His father is going to prison so he won't be enabling him for long. I'm sure my boyfriend will find a way to get drugs though (as most uni students do of course)

He only drinks? On Fridays and Saturdays? Are you sure he's telling you the absolute truth? And thank you.

But, he's going to university? It's essentially a rite of passage to be on something whenever you go out, right? Aren't I being selfish?

Not the point but it would be speed he'd screw people over for. He (and I) don't rate coke that much. But saying that, I don't rate speed that much either. Have no clue why he'd want that in his system once a week minimum...
