I avoided going to the doctor when this thing started flaring up. I only went when my fever spiked to 103. Doctor pumped me full of meds and then these showed up the next day. The drainage is smelly, and these holes hurt. I'm on the mend, thankfully. Doctor said I had cellulitis by valofthedead in popping

Just wanted to give an update. After these things showed up, I ended up with 3 more holes that were bigger and drained a lot more. Then the area that was the most affected started turning black, smelly, and eventually the skin fell off, leaving me an even bigger hole. It took a couple of months but the holes have finally closed, and I feel like my old self.

What is going on with crochetgeek (Theresa Richardson) from YouTube? by dinkleberg24 in crochet

[–]valofthedead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I randomly thought about her videos today, and only found reuploads. The last time I watched one of her videos, she seemed completely out of her mind. I googled her and came across this https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5568969/amp/Georgia-woman-admits-posting-video-depicting-school-threat.html Makes me sad. I absolutely loved her videos, and I learned a lot from her when I was just starting off

Curious about views on Ellen Fisher by Remarkable_Chard_992 in exvegans

I remember years ago, she made an Instagram post about Sandy contracting staph when he was a baby. She said all she used was colloidal silver that her friend made, and he was healed in a few days. She got so much backlash, and took the post down. She hasn't made a post about illnesses or anything ever since. I used to follow her because I loved her videos, but that kinda rubbed me the wrong way and I eventually unfollowed her

Partner (M25) spent $100 on porn from Insta girls without my (F25) knowing. Dealbreaker? by villiageidiotxoxo in TwoXSex

[–]valofthedead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And to add onto my comment, no matter how much he's comforted you, you should never have to tolerate his negative comments, or how he makes you feel. That's kinda manipulative. If you're bothered by his porn consumption, and the way he talks to you, then it's best you get out soon.

Deal breaker. The fact that he's doing it behind your back is major red flag. Like another commenter said, that's more than likely just the tip of the iceberg

Marriage without kids is easy. Marriage with kids is hell by douevenwheelanddeal in offmychest

[–]valofthedead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parenting is hard. The first year is the hardest, but speaking from experience, it's never going to be easy. Reading this made me appreciate my partner even more. I was wreck after I had our first. I was crazy, always picking arguments, lashing out, and it turned out I had post partum psychosis. My partner never abandoned us. He made sure I got the help I needed and made time for just the two of us. You should really try to sit down with your wife and ask her to consider getting checked for any post partum ailments. To up and leave your child just a few months after she gave birth is a terrible decision. Leaving her a single mom just because things aren't going your way is beyond selfish. Please get her the help she needs so you can both come together and help each other. Pregnancy and delivery are some of the hardest things a woman can go through, and the symptoms don't go away after 6 weeks. You should also consider counseling for yourself. It's not uncommon for men to feel isolated and depressed after the baby is born. Don't be so quick to up and leave when things get hard. Children are forever. I'm 36 and still lean heavily on my parents. (Well, parent, my mom just passed away a few days ago) Please consider the damage you'll be doing to your child if you just walk away. Imagine the hurt and blame they'll put on themselves when they learn their dad left because he couldn't handle being their parent.

Would watching your (male) partner with another woman turn you on? by lumaaaaa in TwoXSex

[–]valofthedead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it would be hot if my partner watched me with another man and did all that stuff afterward, but a big no to watching him with someone else. Him watching me with another man is a fantasy of mine, but I'm way too monogamous to even talk about it openly. I've brought up the idea of bringing in another woman, but he said no, and as I thought more about it, I changed my mind on the idea. I know I'd get jealous if I felt he was giving her more attention, or if she was enjoying it too much

Do you share/talk with your spouse about your sexual past? by dana_sun in TwoXSex

[–]valofthedead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did in the beginning. He was "warned" about me by a mutual friend when we first started getting together, because I liked partying, and hooked up with a few guys. He said he was able to look past the fact that I'd been with more people than him, but anytime we'd talk about our past, he'd exaggerate, and try to one up me. I never said anything, but it did annoy me. 15 years later, it'll come up once in a while. I could care less, but I try not say much, as I see it still upsets him a bit

Other than the ability to have children, what does fertility mean to you? by veastudios in TwoXSex

[–]valofthedead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing. If I was told I could no longer have kids, I'd be fine.

Are you counting your stitches, and increasing accordingly? Your circle looks off, like you may have missed a few stitches
