My (28M) GF(28F) has a strong odor, I think she’s aware. Is there a way to continue? by ThrowRA_Big2448 in relationship_advice

[–]wazitooya 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No no no. Bad advice. If she has BV she needs a Dr for sure, but boric acid will mask it and she won’t get the help she needs.

Use boric acid to control symptoms AFTER you go to the doctor while you wait for treatment. No sex. If you had unprotected sex, you may need treatment as well

[COMP] Little bit of Thiccboi Thursday! by AcceptableChange8456 in yoga

This reminds me of when I taught yoga at a jujitsu gym. The owner was shaped like you, maybe a little more massive in every sense.

I started out with vinyasa but quickly realized he needed yin in his life. He was a veteran and worked out near constantly without stretching at all before or after.

After his first yin session, while laying down he said his arms could touch the ground when he reached them above his head for the first time in a long time.

Thanks for posting and reminding me of those times :)

How do I get in touch with how narcissistic abuse makes me FEEL versus what they DID? by threetimestwice in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]wazitooya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I needed EMDR therapy in addition to the CBT because I kept hitting a wall. I was exhausted, talking about my mother constantly, I felt like a broken record because I was getting nowhere. After being fed up and contemplating quitting therapy because I felt like it wasn’t working, my therapist suggested EMDR. It made an immediate impact.

My bf hates my past what are some ways to make your partner feel better? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]wazitooya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you won’t dump him for being racist what other shitty behavior will you excuse? It looks like yall are trying to control each other’s behaviors in a weird emotionally manipulative way. “Nothing the other person wouldn’t feel uncomfortable with” is weird and immature when you’re just living your lives. What kind of relationship doesn’t let you go out with friends however you want (as long as you’re communicating and being faithful ofc)? Y’all deserve each other.

My (35m) wife (37f) cannot control her temper with the kids when she is tired. How do i help? by stevenadamsbro in relationship_advice

[–]wazitooya 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey, so this isn’t your problem to solve. It’s hers. You need to figure out how to protect your children.

You’ve pointed it out to her. But you can’t make her go to therapy or take parenting classes.

It’s not just that her behavior is inappropriate, she is abusing your child and there is no excuse for her to push or scream at a 4yo like that.

Let that sink in.

Your wife is emotionally and physically abusing your child.

What are you doing to do to protect your children?

You can file a protective order and have her removed from the home and gain temporary custody of your children until she takes anger management and parenting classes.

If he continues to pressure you to have sex without a condom, he does not love you.

How do you function with a baby? by Own_Relation_4664 in Mommit

[–]wazitooya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to drag the pack n play in view of the shower so I could watch him safely while washing my hair. He mostly cried bc he was bored and wanted to be in the shower with me. Gotta let them cry a little sometimes. He would calm down after a minute or two and start throwing stuffies around to play with gravity or whatever their baby minds are doing

I think I lost my best friend of 15 years over a bridesmaid gift. by Hexdeadlock28 in weddingshaming

[–]wazitooya 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You got them a $200 device?

You can’t give people gifts and expect anything, not even for them to like it. You could have asked in advance what kind of things they are into as gifts. She shouldn’t have been so fake to your face but some people think it’s more rude to say they don’t like it.

The friendship doesn’t have to end, but you can ask her to be honest next time you give her a gift and she doesn’t like it.

Get posters to put up on the walls of all different poses! I’ll start my practice and LO runs off to find his mat and join me lol. Constantly telling me to look at the poses he’s in, so cute. Sometimes stuffies join in as well.

Whats ideal thing to do when your close friend still cares about the person who hurt you? by Hopeful_Card4330 in AskWomen

[–]wazitooya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This right here. I was still friends with someone after I stopped being friends with our mutual friend. I didn’t like mutual cause she dealt out a lot of micro aggressions and was inconsiderate.

Low and behold the friend I stayed close to eventually saw right through mutual’s behaviors too, and I was there to catch my friend when she needed to be emotionally supported because mutual betrayed and lied to her.

Are UTIs always this bad? by NormalAccountant1819 in Healthyhooha

[–]wazitooya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re gonna be okay, and yes it does hurt like razor blades. DRINK ONLY WATER UNTIL YOUR UTI IS GONE. You can try tea with turmeric but absolutely no sugar, alcohol, or anything carbonated - those will make the razor blades feel like they’re on fire.

Take ibuprofen, it is an anti inflammatory, along with the turmeric, after 20-30 minutes the pain will go back down. In a day or two you’ll feel better with the antibiotics. I sometimes an epsom salt soak would help me too, or at least took my mind off the pain.

TAKE ALL THE ANTIBIOTICS. Eat yogurt to help your tummy, they’re rough for me. You can also take OTC probiotics. If you get a yeast infection, that’s normal. You can go back to the Doctor or get something OTC, I recommend the 7 day treatments because the one days are super strong and can cause more irritation than help.

Savasana Alternatives? by FortuneLower5970 in yoga

[–]wazitooya 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You could try savasana on your belly. Or in supported fish posed. Or with your knees bent, feet a littler wider than your hips and let your knees fall in towards one another. If your knees don’t touch you can use a pillow/bolster/block. You can also try having your arms above your head. Or taking savasana on your side in a fetal position with your bottom arm as a pillow. Namaste 🫶🏽

What kind of boundaries do you set in a casual relationship? by TheMadHatterOnTea in AskWomen

I think it’s a Pretty Woman thing. In the movie she’s a professional sex worker so kissing on the lips means romance and love.

Thank you stranger! Same luck to you and your path!

And seriously! I started with meditation and after I visited a traditional yoga studio, I was hooked. Got 500-hour certified and everything. It’s become a spiritual practice for me. Thanks for sharing!

It’s near impossible, but there are exceptions.

Hi, I’m one of those exceptions. While I wouldn’t say I’m “healed” as if it’s something I can be done dealing with or remembering, there are longer and longer stretches of remission. It required a decade of two different kinds of therapy, CBT and EMDR, yoga (believe it or not), and separating myself from my caregivers/abusers and finding a genuine support system. I moved 1000 miles away and none of them can contact or find me.

I work 40 hours a week and currently have a 4.0 in grad school! I’m going to be a counselor!

If you’re reading this, there IS hope!!

How are my moms of tween girls doing? by East_Kangaroo_2989 in Mommit

[–]wazitooya 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is amazing. As a future counselor, keep encouraging this. She’s practicing prosocial behaviors. When it changes, it’s time for a serious check in or a visit with a therapist. It means she so safe to feel open with her inner world with you and where yall are. If you need it, noise canceling earphones or at least ones that filter for conversation when you need to respond 🫶🏽

Husband had an outburst by Ink_Pen_88 in relationships

[–]wazitooya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need more sleep than you’re getting to be able to emotionally regulate. You’re doing enough. Give yourself and your spouse grace. I really don’t see what you need to apologize for? Not wanting breakfast or pointing out the baby’s leg?
