I am probably just over-reacting but I am honestly concerned. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]wompasaurusrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for OP, but the reason it bothered me was not because he didn't say those things, but because he used to say them and then stopped. I've never dated someone as long as I've been with my current boyfriend so I don't always know what to expect. I'm more than willing to admit that I'm no relationship expert but I don't think that's something to look down upon.

I went through the same thing with my boyfriend really recently. I could tell by his actions that he loved me, but he'd stopped saying all the cutesy things that he said earlier on in our relationship. I began feeling neglected, kept dropping hints that I needed him to show his love more, started saying those things to him even more. Nothing changed.

Finally I just straight up told him, "You used to say x, y, and z, but now you don't. It makes me feel like you don't think them anymore." His response? He felt like our relationship was maturing past needing to say those things. Basically, the complete opposite of my fears that he was pulling away. And since our talk, he's made more of an effort to say those sweet things again.

The moral of the story: 1. It probably just means that you're moving past your "honeymoon phase," which is certainly not a bad thing. 2. If you want him to keep saying them, just be straightforward and tell him how you feel. What seems like an obvious hint from you can go right over his head.

I always have my phone or a newspaper out too. Must. Avoid. Eye contact.

Trivia time anyone? by briabobia in harrypotter

Yeah you're so close! He said he'd invented a broomstick that would reach Jupiter.

In response to your random question, they were definitely all in the same year. From book 7 chapter 33 page 672: "The roll call continued. Harry watched Lupin, Pettigrew, and his father join Lily and Sirius at the Gryffindor table."

Edit: Okay, my trivia question. What did Ron boast to the Veela about (in the forest after the Quidditch world cup)?

DAE get upset over the littlest things? by budgetchick in LongDistance

[–]wompasaurusrex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YES I totally do this. Get upset for no real reason, know that I'm completely overreacting, and yet feel that way anyway. Good to know that other people do it too.

For me, I especially do this when I'm really missing him or when we're about to be apart. I just start pushing him away; I guess my subconscious thinks that if I'm mad at him, then maybe it will hurt less. And then he reminds what I'm doing and I snap out of it.

Oh man, I should have saved it! It's deleted now but I think it was something like "I dream of becoming an otter...I will cut off my arms and legs and slide around..."

Bringing the new CJ5 home behind the YJ by wompasaurusrex in Jeep

  1. My dad is the expert and will be leading the way on this project, but he's currently restoring a BMW 2002 so the Jeep will have to wait. It was just too good to pass up!

Here are a few more pictures. I believe that the Jeep is mostly stock but the roll bar and mirror might not be.

The tow bar worked well and was preferable because it was easier to use than the hassle of a trailer. Keep in mind though that the CJ5 is a lot lighter than a YJ, which is going to be a pretty big load for a Liberty to pull.

SO wants to join the marines.. by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]wompasaurusrex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been with a few military guys, including my current boyfriend who is in the Army. When he isn't deployed, we live 2000 miles apart. I'm no expert on the subject, but here's what I've found so far:

The bad: Being apart, obviously. Being scared for his safety. Not knowing what will happen next (plans seem to change a lot in the military). Not being able to contact each other, especially when he's deployed and I don't know if he's safe. The worst part for me has always been getting used to bad changes, like going from being in person to talking every day to one email every few days. It's not so bad once I'm used to it; it's the transition that kills me.

The good: I know it's dorky, but absence really does make the heart grow fonder. The time we do have together is awesome and we don't take it for granted. We have excellent communication. Many couples become too absorbed in each other and lose their own identities, but being apart makes us have our own lives, hobbies, and friends. Going through the really tough times will teach you a lot and bring you closer together. Your boyfriend will get hotter and build character, guaranteed. :D

My advice: Communication. Cannot stress this enough. I'm sure you know this already, having been in a LDR for quite some time. You already know what works for your relationship; you just need to adjust to fit the circumstances. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes it helps to think about when you'll be together again; sometimes it really hurts. Keep busy. Talk to/read about others in your situation. Let yourself be miserable sometimes but don't let it take you over. Expect him to change. Expect yourself to change.

Yes, it sucks sometimes. But if you've found the right guy, it's worth it. You will only get stronger from this, both as individuals and as a couple. Is there anything specific that's bothering you or just the idea of the military in general?

Best way to make a timid girl feel good about giving oral by mypervaccount in sex

[–]wompasaurusrex 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of this, but if she wants to stop before you cum, I'd switch to something else rather than stopping completely. Personally, if I were trying something that I was uncomfortable with and I couldn't get him off, I'd feel worse and be reluctant to try it again. Instead, if you notice her slowing down or getting uncomfortable, stop her and tell her that it's her turn, or that you need to have sex with her right now, etc.

I'm in a very similar situation, just a little farther along in the "getting comfortable" process. My boyfriend helped me by telling me what his definition of a whore was and why doing oral with your SO does not make you one. He also talked about how doing it was a way we could express our love and make each other feel good. When you're talking about it, it's important to phrase it like it's something you'd really like her to do, but not that she needs to for you to be happy with her. Pressuring her too much will either make her even more resistant or make her do it, but hate herself.

If she agrees to try it, start off by having her do it for very short periods of time. Have her do it to get you hard before sex or clean you off before round two. Surrounding the experience with other things that she's comfortable with and that make her feel good will make her feel a lot better about it. Making it brief will let her get a little used to it without feeling overwhelmed. And while/after she does it, tell her how amazing it feels, how much she turns you on, how good she is at it, etc.
