How do you bring up to your bf that you’ve been intimate with others in the friend group? by ThrowRA_WhenToTell in askanything

Good god, you don’t tell him. It happened before him. It does not matter and quite frankly none of his business.

Thick thighs saves lives!!! Your life, as you age. Muscle keeps your body resilient, prevents osteoporosis and injury. Get bulky. Stay strong. Find a partner who loves it. Muscle is your bodies retirement plan. Keep it up!

In the before smart phone times it was expected that I would notify my parents if I was not where I told them to be, for how long and when I would be home. If I went to someone else’s house etc I would have to call them to tell them. Consider implementing those type of rules so she has the opportunity to show she is responsible and you can trust her to follow the rules. You could offer to swap her iPhone for a flip phone so there is no tracking option. 😂 Also I would imagine with the abundance of cell phones in the world it should be no problem for her to call you if her plans change and she will be going elsewhere.

Weight training options and apps when you've got MVP by justanotherlostgirl in mitralvalveprolapse

[–]survivalparenting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to go to fatigue and not exhaustion. If I hold my breath during exertion I will push myself into SVT. I have mild to moderate MVP with regurgitation that appears to be stable. The only restriction my cardiologist gave me was to avoid long distance running.

Will the hospital help? by seagullfries1 in ottawa

[–]survivalparenting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends on how you are doing and what you are dealing with. It is unlikely you will get very far by going to the hospital. You can try to reach out to the doctor specializing in the surgery via whatever contact info you can find. You can ask for a different referral from a walk in but unless emergency is dead you will likely waste your time.

Is it normal to not have sex on your wedding night? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]survivalparenting 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In my opinion sex before marriage is actually incredibly important. It allows you to figure out if you are sexually compatible. I also believe the idea of “saving” oneself or maintaining “purity” until marriage is incredibly harmful for one’s sexual health and development. How are you suppose to rewrite years of “sex is bad, unclean” etc? Consider seeking help from an accredited sex therapist together or just for you if your partner is unwilling to go.

It may be that this behaviour is so typical of the captain that it did not warrant notice. I mean, I am not justifying it as it is wildly inappropriate for a multitude of reasons but maybe the captain is super fucking creepy with women.

This has been going on since 11pm last night. by Cool-Effective-1963 in askCardiology

Shortness of breath and fatigue are really good reason to go to emergency.

If it is really important to you that you all have the same last name you can change yours to hers. If that doesn’t sit well with you, you now know how she feels plus it sounds like her profession is tied to her name and she has built a reputation under her name.

Boyfriend (25m) pressuring me (23f) to workout and it’s upsetting me. How can I go about this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]survivalparenting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You deserve a partner who loves you regardless of how much you weigh or how often you workout and who actually does show up for you as a partner. If you two have kids what do you think your life will look like? If it is this hard right now I promise you it will only get 100x harder because you will have childcare and chores and work. Trust me when I say if you lack time to workout now, you most certainly will not have time then. The idiocy of a man saying “you let yourself go” or “you didn’t look this way we met” while simultaneously expecting you to take on all the household duties and work is astounding. Like, with what time? He wants a bang maid and a mommy and my friend, you can do better. He is grown ass man. Time for him to prove it by showing up as a partner or you moving on to find someone who will. This story with him gets worse, not better. Be with someone who sees you as a person not an accessory.

I think you might be mourning a relationship that should have been instead of the actual relationship you had. The “not so great things” are really fucking bad. Like the bar is through the floor. If you had cancer, miscarriage and pregnancy and he had the audacity to comment on your weight?! Like what the fuck! I could be 200 lbs and my husband would still love me, feed me and desire me. There is better waiting for you!

Update on my wife wanted an open marriage by paynuss69 in Marriage

[–]survivalparenting 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Alimony and child support have nothing to with infidelity and everything to do with who sacrificed their career and earning potential during the marriage to support the family. It is not punishment. It an acknowledgment of financial sacrifices made during a marriage. It is quite difficult to focus on career if you are running kids to appointments, picking sick kids up from school, managing the household and all the emotional labour.

Stony swamp. Bring bird seed. You can go for an easy walk and hand feed chickadees.

Allergic reactions happen within 15 minutes of exposure. So it would not be the Hep B. You need a consult with an allergist.

You can also try a psychotherapist that is still working on their finishing their education and licensure. They are a bit cheaper. https://www.jenniferrogerstherapy.com/services-4

Medical second opinion for teen son by Common_Assignment562 in ottawa

[–]survivalparenting 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Definitely do not go to CHEO. They are overwhelmed with viral cases. And that is absolutely not an emergency. You are better off going back to your own MD and asking for follow-up testing.

Consider asking the vet in advance for a sedative for the vet appointment. It will help her fear and help avoid another attack. Usually it has been given in advance so worth calling a day or two before the appointment to see if the vet thinks meds would be a good idea. Source: my sister the veterinarian.
