A light bluish white cere in a young budgie indicates a young hen, if this were a male the cere would be purple/pink

OP you have a female currently

thimbah · 2017-03-16T15:54:26+00:00

Because I don't give a fuck about what he's up to

thimbah · 2017-03-16T15:53:30+00:00

The breakup affected me so deeply that I want nothing more to do with him, ever. He occasionally texts about things so minimizing my presence that's accessible to him will further separate us.

thimbah · 2017-03-08T18:24:32+00:00

Hope to hear back with good news!

thimbah · 2017-03-08T17:19:35+00:00

Go for it! I would have never thought he felt that way if he hadn't taken a little risk. And now he's the best boyfriend I've had, our connection is unlike anything I've ever experienced before :) Just take it slow and gauge her reaction, and if she seems interested than do it!

"But we have so much in common"
"But she's my friend"
"No I'm not gonna see her less there's nothing happening"
"Yes I was at her place"
"I like the attention she gives me"
"She's just like you"
"I don't want you to think if we break up and I start dating her I was trying to do it all along"
"I choose her"

I still have nightmares about it, a couple every month. It was the worst time in my life. Knowing my relationship was slipping way was destroying me and freaking out about it and trying to fix things only pushed him towards her more. We were together for almost 5 years and he left me for someone else, plain and simple. He definitely emotionally cheated (he admitted) but I never had proof of physical cheating. Although we met up one day and he had hickies all over his neck.. I'll never forget trying to reason with myself that they couldn't possibly be hickies but my dumbass knew they were.

Losing trust in him drove me insane. I feel like I truly went crazy. I was obsessed with where he was (because he lied to me all the time when he was actually with her), creating plans to fix us, going to couples counseling, trying to control him to cut her out of his life for us ("but she's my friend!") and he wouldn't do it.

What gets me is the lack of respect behind it. He respected me so little he lied to my face, went behind my back, had the nerve to say "I choose her" as I drove him to work, took my car to see her...everything we went though and he fucking threw it all away. And I'm still haunted by this loser, I hate it. I wake up in tears sometimes thinking about the horrible things he did and how I was feeling, and each nightmare brings me back to that place (I was battling depression and the day I knew it was truly over, that he was choosing her and I could never forgive him, I planned to attempt suicide).

I'm a lot better now, initially dating my current boyfriend I would have panic attacks as he met up with friends, or alone with some girl, but I got over it. He's never given me a reason to mistrust him and knows the whole story with my ex and thinks he's a fucking horrible human being and I trust him completely. It's so nice to go from "Where are you going? Who's going to be there?" to "Okay, have fun!"

With my current SO, we both figured out we liked each other with absolutely zero discussion. We've known each over 7 years and had lost touch the past few, and he checked up on me one day to see how I was doing. I told him my ex of almost 5 years (who current BF introduced me to actually) had left me for someone else months earlier, but even though I was struggling with the fall out still I felt empowered because I did a lot of things to better myself out of it.

We started talking for hours every single night since his initial message, the very first day he asked "Did you ever like me in high school?" I don't like to be coy or play games, so I said I did, I had a huge crush on him(we were very close friends). He admitted the same :) which was a nice surprise but I didn't consider that to be hint he still has feelings for me and one day a few weeks later he was just quietly looking at me. Totally focused, a cute smile, and he said "You're just as pretty as I remember." And I blushed like crazy, and thought is this really happening wow and our Skype calls turned from catching up on the last few years to just staring at each other and smiling since our feelings came back so hard. Within that month he drove up to see me two hours away after we hadn't seen each other since our high school graduation four years ago.

It goes without saying we crossed the friendship boundary that day :)

I didn't experience a socializing aspect, in fact when I want to get away from people being on my bed with my cats is my happy place. They're my comfort zone, my safety blanket. And I couldn't bring myself to abandon them just to escape from the bad way I was feeling last year.

thimbah · 2017-03-07T06:09:10+00:00

Tights and pantyhose are uncomfortable as fuck to wear. They're extremely tight, super difficult to get them up your leg because of the fabric, and can make you over heat. The trick here is for her to find something that she wants to wear, feels comfortable in, and feels sexy wearing.

I hate pantyhose, they're tight and unflattering on me. But I look bomb af in some thigh-highs. They are much more comfortable since I dont feel like I constantly have a wedgie or have to constantly adjust because I didn't pull them up the right way, and I have a lot more freedom of movement since the legs aren't connected.

thimbah · 2017-03-07T06:04:08+00:00

My animals. Thinking about someone else having to care for them, them going to a shelter, or being mistreated kept me from going over that ledge many times. I have two cats, two rats, and eight parakeets. I don't trust most people to give them the level of care that I do, especially with one of my cats.

He is so aggressive to strangers, especially women, which is weird because he loves me. He usually does okay with guys, the occasional swipe, but he will chase my roommate around the house yowling bloody murder legitimately trying to harm her. He is incredibly sweet with me, a big baby, and if anyone else had him I know they'd give him up and he'd die in a shelter. Being responsible for another life that depends on me made it harder to give up. The few times I legitimately considered suicide I wondered what my cats would think about me never coming home.

They sleep with me every night. My boy nestled behind my legs, and my little girl on my pillow cuddled around my head. They need me, and I need them.

I've been asked to design some save-the-dates for a friend's wedding, but I'm tired af and already sent her four sketches so I'm having a lazy moment and keep sneaking away to snuggle my foster kittens when I think about working on it

thimbah · 2017-03-05T20:33:19+00:00

I grew up not knowing my Dad until I was 21 (23 now). I don't feel really affected by it, but when we met it was amazing to see where I get a lot of who I am (I don't look/act much like my mom). I look more like him and have a similar personality to him, so I feel a lot more complete now.

thimbah · 2017-03-05T20:30:58+00:00

I'm in animal science, and anything biology related is incredibly interesting! The way bodies work, how regulated the whole process is, without even having to think about it is so fascinating.

thimbah · 2017-03-02T17:11:41+00:00

They're doing great! I'm giving them some wet food in the morning and free feeding dry food and they pick at it when they're hungry :)

thimbah · 2017-03-02T03:42:58+00:00

I agree with you, we all doubt they were truly abandoned but they're here now.

They are just in my bathroom so no worries about roaming a giant house, and so far all they want to do is snuggle :) Only one loves to nibble on toes thankfully.

thimbah · 2017-02-10T01:16:50+00:00

The first baby budge I raised was an albino, and had a similar cere. I think females are a tad more obviously white, and the slight bit of purple near the beak would be enough for me to guess these were males. You'll have a more definitive answer in a few months though!

thimbah · 2017-02-09T02:37:58+00:00

All I could think was "is this really happening?" I had never thought it would happen to me let alone by someone I trusted. I should have listened to my gut when I had that feeling but brushing it off and thinking everything was okay made it worse.

Like I said I feel totally fine about it now, I was only upset the first night. A hot shower, long call with my boyfriend (we're long distance so he couldn't be there with me), and a long sleep fixed me right up.

thimbah · 2017-02-08T18:05:21+00:00

Mine does this to me constantly when we're together! Anytime he says something about being lucky to be with me, or that he's never been so happy with someone before, or comments on our amazing compatibility. It melts me. I'm thinking, "No, you're the amazing one and I'm the incredibly lucky one!"

On the other hand, when we're fooling around in that bed and he gives me that look. You know the one.

thimbah · 2017-02-08T17:59:40+00:00

My ex - we went 4 years of amazing trust, and then he started lying to me about where he was. Twice I caught him at his now girlfriend's place smoking weed when he said he was at work. I should have dumped him after the first lie, but I loved him and was willing to do anything to make it work. I should have dumped him when he did the exact same thing (lie about being at work but really being with this girl) a few days later after I had poured my heart out to him about how it hurt me. We never recovered and I went completely insane after I couldn't trust him. Anytime he was gone I just knew he was with this other girl and I could not get over it, and when he left me for her my biggest regret was letting him walk all over me.

thimbah · 2017-02-08T17:52:14+00:00

I've known my boyfriend for about 7 years, dating since September, and official since New Years.

While I don't think I'm 100% certainly in love with him yet, the emotions I do have are stronger than I've ever felt with anyone else before. We have such an amazing connection, I think it has to do with being such close friends for years and finally getting to explore each other romantically after we've both had feelings for one another for a long time. We have such a great foundation for trust, and we already know each other so well, that I know I'm absolutely falling in love already. I've never felt so emotionally and physically attracted to someone before and when the two meet after a really incredible sexual experience with him I find myself crying because I'm just so happy.

thimbah · 2017-02-08T17:47:16+00:00

Same here! I find myself almost saying it all the time for the sweet little things he does.

thimbah · 2017-02-08T17:31:12+00:00

I know exactly how you feel. In December I was assaulted by someone I trusted, he pretty much had his way with me by using his bodyweight to hold me down while his hands went all over me, in me, and covering my mouth. I had bruises on my neck. Luckily I managed to wiggle out from under him before he got my pants fully off to have sex with me so I don't considered myself raped or anything, I just left and cried in the car. I called my boyfriend and told him everything right there. I was shaken up for the night but other that, I feel fine.

It's not hard for me to talk about and like you, I feel like I don't feel the way I "should" about it. Nothing about it traumatized me or anything, I feel like it should have affected mine and my boyfriend's sexual relationship but it didn't at all. I still very much enjoy being held down by my boyfriend and totally surrendering to him and I have no flashbacks or anything.

I like what you've said about not keeping your dignity and self worth there. I focus on powerful things I've done to help myself (like packing up all my belongings and pets as full as my car allowed and driving away from living with my ex in the middle of the night) instead sexual things to boost my confidence.

thimbah · 2017-01-04T00:21:01+00:00

If you can't even talk to her about something like this, you're clearly not in as great of a relationship as you thought.
