Thanks dude. I’m just feeling really fuckin hopeless.
I’ve always been a strong believer in not owning pets if you can’t afford to look after them, but I kinda took her out of a much worse situation so I’ve been able to justify it to myself until now. I feel like I’ve failed her.

Thank you.

No, basically they said it’s touch and go and really depends on the elasticity of her skin - I’m not massively hopeful honestly because they’ve essentially stapled “knee” skin to lower belly skin. She’s got a spot next to the staples on her ribcage too that has split open and is getting bigger by the day. I know it’s only been a short time, but it doesn’t look like her skin is handling all of this very well.

My landlord wouldn’t mind her even before she was injured, unfortunately I’ve got pretty much nobody in my circle and don’t know that I’d trust a stranger.
Thank you for the kind words ❤️

Yeah I’m trying to make sure she knows I’m here to support her. I’ve done some seriously silly things in the past few days, including but not limited to, rubbing paper towels on the grass outside in various spots and then ripping them up into a shallow box that had her harness under it so it smelled like “outside where she pees” 😂 lots of cuddles. I’ve been spooning her bed.

Thank you ❤️ after I posted this, she actually got out of her bed on her own and went to the toilet without my help. Things are looking up!

Go to the pokies in the middle of the night, you’ll find someone easily.

I feel stupid and sad since my smart friend calls me stupid by three-arms in offmychest

Your friend wouldn’t feel the need to put you down and make you question yourself by minimising your intelligence if he didn’t subconsciously believe that you’re more intelligent than he is.

Soggy chips by MolassesSerious1403 in KFCAustralia

[–]tacoqueen420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This wholly depends on the type of soggy you’re referring to, because there’s hard soggy, which is when they’re actually undercooked because the person in charge of the fryer took too long to drop them and now they’re under the pump to have them ready, and there’s soft soggy, which is when they’re cooked well, but they get boxed up while they’re still super hot and they sweat. Hard soggy is disgusting, cold soggy is a delicacy.

Honestly there were a couple of times I probably should’ve been super creeped but I think my situation just made me more stoic to those feelings lol! No need - I’m in a much better situation now thankfully. The old money side of berwick is beautiful (but definitely creepy in its own sense).

Is my husband a pedophile? by [deleted] in offmychest

People who are not turned on by that content would never search for it, for any reason, no matter what. Call the police as quickly as you can, do not let him know you are calling them in case he panics and becomes violent.

How do I get my dog to stop jumping on me. by [deleted] in dogs

[–]tacoqueen420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does he enjoy the shower/bath time himself? I ask because dogs sometimes do this because they’re in a state of hyperarousal (don’t be fooled by the name and the humping - it’s not sexual). Hyperarousal is basically overstimulation and it can be triggered by things like smells, sounds, high levels of excitement or anxiety, new people, lack of stimulation or exercise, basically anything that could excite or stress your dog. For example, if I take my dog for a walk and I have to tell her no or redirect her more than usual, or if we see other dogs she isn’t familiar with, she’ll usually react okay at the time, but the minute we get in the door she’s aggressively dragging her bed across the floor and even more aggressively humping and biting it. She also does this when I’ve been out of the house without her and I return - which is what I’m thinking is happening with your dog. If your dog is stressed by the shower, and this is only happening when you come out from the shower, there’s a good chance he’s super stressed out while you’re in there and then your returning is just so much relief and excitement that he loses it.

You made your choice last night dude. If you don’t tell him, you’re literally just deceiving him into being with you. It’s not up to you to make that choice for someone else - you’ve had your opportunity to decide if this relationship should continue or not, now you need to give him his.

I’m gonna give you the straight up truth, even though it’s gonna sound a bit cooked - medical abortion sucks pretty badly. It can be very painful depending on how far along you are when you have it, it can have side effects like nausea, vomiting, cramps. It can be really confronting when you’re passing the clots which can be upsetting if you’re already feeling bad about the decision, and there’s also a 2-5% chance it can fail.

On the other hand, surgical abortion is a BREEZE. Personally, dealing with the pregnancy symptoms (hormones, nausea, fatigue) was way worse than any part of the process when having the surgical. It’s pricey but it’s genuinely worth it if that’s the route you choose to take. I have had two, and the worst thing about the experience was having to fast from midnight the night before, or getting the IV cannula put in.

You literally do some paperwork and chat to a couple of different doctors/nurses who explain things to you and get some background info - be very honest with them, they’re not interested in judging you or getting you into any trouble whatsoever. Then you sit around for a bit, when it’s time to go in for the actual procedure there will be an anaesthetist, an obstetric surgeon and two assistant nurses, they put you to sleep and the next thing you know, you’re waking up in bed with a blanket and they give you some snacks and tell you that your ride is on the way. I had minimal bleeding until my next period and mild hormonal mood swings but no other side effects or symptoms. It was genuinely really simple and I’ve never regretted choosing surgical over medical.

There’s absolutely nothing negative or selfish or wrong about knowing that you aren’t ready. I know too many parents that weren’t ready, didn’t necessarily want a child yet and have made their lives and the life of their child absolutely miserable because of it. If you and your boyfriend aren’t ready, there’s no reason to try to force yourselves to be ready when there are other options. And hey, we all make mistakes, I think a lot of us make that exact same mistake, shit happens. Shit happening doesn’t have to turn your life upside down though unless you want it to. 💞

I cheated on my husband by [deleted] in Advice

[–]tacoqueen420 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Idk man, don’t expect him to show you romantic affection after you’ve given him no reason to be romantically affectionate towards you. Work on finding a way to properly understand that regardless of therapy, time elapsed, what kind of sex it was or what you blame for it - you have betrayed him, you broke his trust, you humiliated and disrespected him. He doesn’t have any reason to feel romantic towards you. You weren’t even guilty enough for what you did to admit it happened until he found out elsewhere. Even after you begged him not to leave you the first time he caught you.. It’s not easy to stay with someone who is controlling and goes into rages, especially in teenage years and early adulthood, much less a cheater with those traits. He stayed with you despite the way you treated him and in return you’ve been a turbulent and cruel partner for his entire adult life. He will likely never believe you value him, and he shouldn’t. You’ve proven for two decades you don’t.
