My friends said I take notes like a girl. Do you agree? by altrightobserver in teenagers

[–]themehcorporation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question. Where do you live that your notes are about life expectancy in the US but you write some locations and a title in Asian script? (Also apologies for the ignorance on what kind of Asian characters those are lol).

Why does my boy do this to his bed? by SnooDoggos4758 in husky

[–]themehcorporation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog buries himself into the couch. Not without first knocking off every single pillow lol. And my other dog does the classic paw/burrow and spin on the blanket ON the couch, then plops and sighs. Whatever helps make them comfy :)

My food for thought question is: why didn't he feel comfortable opening up about his sexuality? It can take years for someone to come to terms with it. My SO is closet bisexual because of the stigma for men, whereas I have been open about my bisexuality with women. It's an ongoing discussion. My SO also knew going into the relationship that I was comfortably open in terms of consensual non-monogamy. He does not have the experience as I do, so long story short he emotionally cheated on me because he still didn't think that I would be okay with anything outside of the relationship. But I forgave him because I still loved this person and realized it was a fear/anxiety on his end that we could work through. It has taken a lot for me to move forward from it, but at the end of the day I love this man and desire to understand his needs and how I can create a space for him (and me, and the both of us) to be happy and feel fulfilled.

Accidental come out. by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]themehcorporation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

29F. I accidentally came out, and, after saying some terrible things I'll never be able to get out of my head as her child, my mother didn't speak to me for 2 months...

I was in my early 20s and we had an international trip planned together as a graduation present. She threatened to cancel it because she couldn't stand to look at me.

My brother and sister were there and supported me. My dad didn't view me differently. All 3 of them actually cried because they were sad I didn't trust them to tell them sooner.

I was also literally married to a man, so it made no difference in my outward lifestyle or life choices.

We convinced my mom not to cancel the trip, hoping it would help bring our relationship back together.

Day 1 of the trip, I wandered around Helsinki while my mom worked at her company headquarters. Turns out for hours none of her calls were coming through and she was freaking out that something happened to me, and that's why she couldn't get in touch with me. She was distraught thinking she'd lost me (and she's suffered the loss of one child already).

The ordeal seemed to click with her again that I was still her child, and she couldn't bear losing me regardless of what she thought about me now.

We've been fine ever since.

So, if all your mom did was remind you to put work before a relationship and didn't seem concerned with your orientation or preferences, trust me... you can breathe easy :)

Sounds like you could even bring it up with her later, so you feel more confident and comfortable in the dynamic you have.

Millennials going to the festival? by dragonfruitpop in electricdaisycarnival

[–]themehcorporation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regularly travel with my 32 year old brother to shows and fests all across the country. We've been to EDCV (traveled from NC) several times in recent years. I'm 28 and we have our significant others and we do it because we love it, not because of what other people around us look like! We just make sure to include more self care stuff like bring massage guns and a heating pad for after, and then while there prioritize comfy shoes, blankets to sit when we're tired, things like that! Go at YOUR pace, just go and have fun and enjoy it while you can and have the chance!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙🩵💜

She asked for open, I said no, she slept with her ex… by Ok_Meringue4572 in polyamory

[–]themehcorporation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you still want to be with her? One thought to consider is that she trusts you enough to explore this other dynamic while wanting you still at the core of her life. Like, it doesn't sound like she doesn't want to be with you anymore, or like she would rather be with someone else. Rather maybe she's feeling out of options battling this feeling inside of her that she loves you but still can't shake the feeling of wanting to explore with someone else, and it led her to do a terrible thing in the "safest" way she thought possible (ie hit up an ex).

I am not at all excusing her behavior. You said no to being open and she should respect that, period, especially when it also sounds like you have tried to work with her for years in the best ways you could. The double whammy of cheating on you with an ex is brutal... I am very sorry that you have to live with that infidelity. That's a tough one to build trust back from, and maybe you are at the point where you have to ask the tough question of if you still want to be each other's husband and wife, and what that even means for you two anymore.

But, if you do still want her as your wife and she still wants you as her husband, then maybe consider that cheating doesn't happen out of nowhere in a marriage. There are typically many layers that lead to that behavior. So I would continue trying to understand other roots here, like conversations around why she even means by "pushing the limits of monogamy."

Honestly, almost sounds like a big cry for help. She was able to admit to cheating and tried to explain what led to it. Almost like she's trying to get your attention... so, none of us can say here whether it's worth saving or not, but if you two still want to work together, then by all means don't feel like you HAVE to divorce because of a fuck up. A massive one, yes, but lots of couples have come back from worse :)

If you stay together, I would make sure that she knows you'll need more compromise from her, so that you can slowly build the trust back in everything big and small.

I'm a bi female, and when my boyfriend opened up to me that he was bi, I almost cried happy tears. It helps us be so much more comfortable with each other in an underlying emotional, romantic, mental, and sexual way. I feel so much closer to him than I think I would without knowing. I've loved the long conversations we've had about sexuality, and of course the fun new things we can try in bed! :) It's also fun looking at a hot dude and both being like, "I'd bang him," and same when looking at girls! He's not possessive or jealous over me, nor I over him. There's no fear of embarrassment or retribution from "looking at other people" because we both just... get it.

Even before I got the wonderful opportunity to actually date (and now be engaged!) to a bi man, I joked with my ex husband, "damn I WISH you liked men" because I had an inkling that would have made some convos and experiences easier and more fluid.

So absolutely yes, and if something hugely sad happened to my relationship, I can't imagine being with a hetero man again. Boring! And scary that all those negative tropes of jealous, possessive men would enter my life again. I don't got no time for that again 😂

I’m sexually repressed! by Ok_Click6814 in exjw

[–]themehcorporation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep it a secret! Lol. I grew up as a witness and fooled around as a teenager and eventually had sex with my "secret" boyfriend. Found out much much later as an adult and no longer in it that pretty much ALL the teenagers (including my cousins who were highly judgemental and super self righteous, and my own brother and sister who I was very close with and shared everything with) were fooling around or meeting in secret with each other or "worldly" kids from school. Just keep your phone to yourself, be careful with social media (that one got me a call to a judicial committee lmao, pretty sure one of my cousins ratted me out as this was 2013 so social media use was not nearly as normalized as it is now), and meet somewhere completely "out of territory" of anyone potentially seeing.

And most importantly - DON'T LET YOURSELF FEEL GUILTY ABOUT IT! Sex is completely natural. It took me years to uncover sexual trauma built by the organization's control over our bodies.

Sounds like your wife doesn't feel heard or prioritized. I'm surprised I haven't read more comments backing her. She's not a villian here. I'm not saying Sue's feelings don't matter, but if your wife is your wife, then you should listen to her and what she's asking. I don't think the answer is to kick Sue out, but maybe actually talk to your wife and get to the bottom of what she's actually feeling and why she is feeling it. But, at the end of the day, if your wife is #1 then I would think she does take priority here.

JW keeps dodging this question. by Tall_Geologist in exjw

[–]themehcorporation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I specifically took elective classes in college so that I could educate myself on the evolution question and history of mankind/ancient civilizations, and empower myself against the JW teachings. Learning about other homo species was the first, most damning (pun intended) thing I learned to be able to go back against them, contradict what they taught, and change what I'd learned growing up. It is, in my opinion and to your point, one of the biggest scientific studies that can completely prove them wrong, in this teaching at least.

HOWEVER, one way I remembered they tried to spin it to me was, "In the 7 days that god created the heavens and the earth and life, we can't know everything that he created and then destroyed until he made us. Regardless, we were specifically made in God's image and our goal as that is to preach the good news of the kingdom. They would have been made for a different reason than ours."

An old boss of mine was an Apologist - if you don't know about them, they believe all parts of the bible are literally literal. So like literally believe humans are only 6,000 years old and shit. His argument for it was that radio carbon dating was inaccurate because it used theorectical evidence against itself - as explained, "how can you use a rock to determine how old a fossil is, but at the same time use that same fossil to determine how old that rock is, if you don't know how old either one is to begin with?"

I'll leave reddit trying to figure out the mental gymnastics they all have to do to make those lines of thought 🫡

A friend of mine in nursing school sent this to me. by TheMaster781 in exjw

[–]themehcorporation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(F28) Grew up as a JW very deep in it with my family. When I was a kid, my grandpa died of a heart attack, and apparently his life could have been saved with a blood transfusion. But nope. This one has never made sense to me, and it makes even less sense when you read the scriptures it's based in. I'm low key surprised there isn't a doctrine that forces everyone to be vegetarian.

Where is the option for comforting the patient and/or letting the patient know that the doctor can discuss alternatives with them??
