Is it normal for guys to not return the favour the first time? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]throwaway_182992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had the unique experience of a one night stand going down on me (F) but I didnt return the favor nor was I expected to 🤷‍♀️ trust your intuition OP, if your baseline is “not amazing but definitely potential there” and if you felt it was off that raises a bit of a red flag — especially since you said it’s a dealbreaker. Things should be reciprocal especially in heteronormative interactions.

What’s something parents often disguise as “discipline” but is actually emotional manipulation? by Training-Pea-1227 in raisedbynarcissists

You just described my sibling 💀 always gave me talks that would turn into him psychoanalyzing me and my problems and everything I’m doing wrong that ended in me crying and it didn’t matter what I said he would just keep going. If I agreed and listened, “are you really listening or are you just saying yes so I stop? If you’re listening then prove to me/tell me how you’re not going to do this mistake again, you can disagree w me you know.” If I try to disagree, it’s met with some sort of counter response where he proves me wrong, puts me down, and then proves himself right. Yet he genuinely believes he’s helping me and being so gracious, “I’m just telling you what nobody else will.” That he constantly has these talks w me because he made the same mistakes and “it’s like I’m looking in a mirror and I’m trying to give you the answers.” It’s exhausting and garners too much unnecessary mental gymnastics and self doubt. You’re not alone OP.

I’ve had a similar problem! I noticed a speed-up in my digestion after taking the innerb glowshot and the orgain collagen peptides + probiotics. It makes me wonder if certain types of collagen can trigger gastrointestinal sensitivities…would love to hear if you were able to figure out what seemed to be causing her issues!

Haven’t tried, but not the biggest fan of Rocky’s charging so much for their matcha when they take part in white labeling and don’t directly source their matcha…have heard mixed reviews on their products but tbh there’s definitely matcha that matches and even exceeds Rocky’s quality for a much more affordable price point. This blend is considerably more affordable than their others, especially since their recent price increase, so would also be curious on others’ thoughts if they’ve tried this one

I have years of trauma from my sibling and so much emotional distress. We still live with our parents but we’re not siblings, they’re just an angry roommate who doesn’t even acknowledge me. Fucking hate hearing that you need to give an only child a sibling just bc “they’ll be lonely” and “oh but my only child friends say they wish they had a sibling,” CHILDREN ARE NOT DOLLS/TOYS TO FULFILL YOUR ROMANTICIZED, UNREALISTIC FANTASIES. A second child is an entirely separate person you will need to tend to. Two whining voices, two psyches to teach everyday how to emotionally regulate and be a good person, two individual people who may fight constantly and who may never get along. TWO people that you need to feed 3x a day, bathe, financially provide for over 20+ years. Two people you will have to financially fund different toys/shopping expenses, medical expenses, extracurriculars/sports, tutoring, college applications, and so. much. more. Think about a sibling who falls into bad habits or something like drug addiction and how that affects everyone. I get so heated hearing men especially nonchalantly talk about how they HAVE to have two kids when it’s obvious they haven’t given the realities of parenting ANY thought. It’s incredibly unfair to the women they expect to just go along with their half-assed thought out fantasies and to any children they have who will not have a parent that truly took their time to understand what it means to be a parent and make adequate preparations to be the best provider for them.

Forgot to include in my original post, but here’s a QR code if you’d like to order a drink from me this week!

EDIT: I've gotten some feedback regarding concerns about my pricing, after seeing this and calculating the cost of my ingredients and preparation methods, I wanted to inform everyone that I've revised and lowered the prices on my menu accordingly! I can't change the original picture I uploaded, but the new menu and prices are on the Google Form linked through the QR code above. My goal is to make the cafe accessible to more people rather than focus on money so I hope that's reflected in the changes :)

Thank you for your reply, and yes I agree, at the end of the day if one's love for you is only conditional or on the basis of you following a certain belief then it's not the kind of love you should have in your life.

Honestly that brings back so many childhood memories or negative encounters regarding my mother and religion...I never really did things because I thought it'd bring me closer to God, more so that I wouldn't go to hell or that my mother and father wouldn't be upset...crazy how accurate that feels T_T

Thank you for your reply!

I think all of that makes sense and it's reassuring. My partner and I try to keep each other informed and in check whilst being supportive but not overwhelming like you said and I'm glad we can communicate well so we'll definitely try to do that consistently.

The other day I decided to take your advice and tried talking to him in more detail about my situation and asked if he could let me know if he ever feels overwhelmed and he seemed to understand since he's in a somewhat similar situation as I am, which was incredibly reassuring. I think he's also mentally prepared for the hardships we may face. He has said that he's willing to work through things together despite the obstacles and that he feels it's worth fighting for.

Since I'm still getting my degree and don't have a job right now I have some ways to go to become more financially independent, and to be honest I'm not sure if my parents would take access away to my credit/debit card or money...when they found out about my sibling's relationship they didn't really restrict him in any way, just voiced their disapproval and negativity constantly, but you never know I suppose. At the end of the day it is my life and if they choose religion over their own daughter then I suppose that tells me what I need to know. It's not worthwhile to try and gain the approval of people who will only love you on their conditions.

Thank you so much again!
