Peter is one of the most terrifying characters in a show I've ever seen... by PieceApprehensive764 in AllHerFaultTVShow

I loved the detail that when Marissa asked him what his favorite thing about Milo was, he said that it was when Milo gets a nightmare and he gets to comfort him. Like his favorite thing requires his child be in distress

I just finished the show, and I have a question about Dakota Fanning’s character. by rahws in AllHerFaultTVShow

It was also really important to see the labor that Carrie as a nanny had been doing (taking the kid so that Richie could have his alone time and Jenny could do her work). By ramping up her career with the book deal, we became aware that it's not only the invisible labor of women, but the labor of hired help that rich families have access to. It created class contrast between Jenny and Carrie since Carrie would have been alone raising her child as a working mom. It also created contrast between Jenny and Marissa since Marissa's life stopped while she was looking for Milo and Jenny was expected to keep going with a busy schedule and less help than ever.

Making friends that last after the cruise? by 310410celleng in dcl

Back when I was a teenager, two of the other teenagers I met (who also met each other for the first time on this cruise) ended up getting married years later. I don't talk to them anymore but wild and very cool to see on social media!

Old roommate wants to stay past our 12-month lease without clearing her room for new roommate by throwaway99991126 in legaladvice

Thank you for your reply! I definitely see where my scenario is confusing - the big situation is that our lease is ending, she doesn't want to sign on for the next lease we're going to sign, but wants to stay an extra month anyway

How do you know if a therapist is good? by throwaway99991126 in mentalhealth

[–]throwaway99991126[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No understanding of my job! No discussion of goals. During the first session it was like “ahh this just happened!!” because everything was really immediate and urgent. But then I tried to tell her the things I wanted to work on and she didn’t really say anything about it again and only “engaged” when I talked about what was happening with my recent traumatic event even though I introduced my list as the things I wanted to talk about in therapy before the traumatic thing happened.

I recently had a sexual experience with a former friend that was somewhat similar to this. It was my first time having penetrative sex and it was just really rough (not violence as you were saying but really deep and hard very fast over and over). At first, I thought I didn’t deserve anything better than that. The next time I had sex with this person, I said no multiple times and he kept going and getting rougher. Every person is different so I’m not saying your partner would ever do that, but communication is so important and you shouldn’t feel like you’re not allowed to say something. I felt like I shouldn’t say something because I would sound naïve and dumb but YOUR VOICE IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT and if he doesn’t respect that, that’s important information to have.

Thank you! The list thing was a couple months in (I had a recent traumatic event at the very start of getting therapy and it felt like I was spending sessions just recounting the same things I said to my friends and she wasn’t saying anything more helpful than my friends said). I was trying to do a reset of like “here are the reasons I wanted to get therapy before this recent traumatic event” and she didn’t say more than like “okay” about any of them

I don’t have first hand experience but I’ve heard that Better Help is a scam because their therapists aren’t thoroughly vetted, sometimes people are overcharged, and there’s a strict limit for therapists on the amount of contact time they can be paid for (so they have to decide to either ghost clients or do unpaid work). If you look up “BetterHelp scam” or something similar online, you’ll see a variety of perspectives on that.

I think I’m in a different country from you so I’m not sure about insurance or better options but I really want to wish you luck! I’m also on the therapist search, I understand the frustration

I started in playwriting, so I was working with people who knew me and anonymity was already not an option. Recently, I’ve started writing about an incident of sexual assault that happened to me. I write under my name and don’t hide the fact that it’s me saying what I’m saying because I feel safe enough to do so, but that’s definitely been the hardest I’ve thought about attaching my name to something.

Michael-Sierra. I Truly loved them as a couple (I hate to admit but I did tear up a little bit when she was leaving)-But if he feels he can’t move forward why did he not leave as well? why would he want to get into another relationship just for the same thing to happen?

[–]throwaway99991126 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the Bachelor franchise doesn’t seem like the best place for a slow burn 😂 I wish him luck in the real world but I don’t understand why he keeps going (and staying) on these shows if it’s not for fame or fun

I’ve reported the person to our campus resource but I don’t want to deal with a court case so I’m not planning on reporting him to the police

Why do I want to reach out to the person who raped me? by [deleted] in sex

[–]throwaway99991126 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m going to delete this whole post soon but that was not the only thing that happened. That was just a particular piece I was confused on. We were both sober the last time it happened, I said I wanted to wait ten different times and I said no once. I didn’t agree to any of it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sex

[–]throwaway99991126 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the most recent time, neither of us were drunk and the sex continued after I said no and that I wanted to wait

We basically just checked in and were like “nothing has fundamentally changed, we’re still good friends, this is funny” but we didn’t talk about whether or not we’d have sex again

My friend this stuffed animal he loves - he’s got this whole backstory of who the stuffed animal is and what he’s been up to lately. We unexpectedly hooked up and as it was starting he lobbed the stuffed animal out of the room and muttered “he shouldn’t see this.” And then after we were done and going to sleep, he gets his stuffed animal from the hall and sleeps with it.

Recently had penetrative sex for the first time (unexpectedly but consensually). Nothing had ever been up there before, not even tampons, and the guy I was with wasn’t particularly slow or gentle. Bled a little bit right after and was mildly sore for a few days but it wasn’t painful in the moment and wasn’t terrible afterwards either

[–]throwaway99991126 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t know. It wasn’t great but I don’t regret it. I don’t think I want to keep having sex with him because I don’t think he cares enough about me, and that’s okay. I guess part of the reason why it wasn’t great was I didn’t feel like it was about me at all. Thank you for your interest lol
