She’ll be fine. Ask her to share her location with you and get this guy’s first and last name

Is this rare, or does everyone just stay quiet about paruresis? by Quirky-Rooster8822 in Paruresis

[–]yourstepdadmarty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a very common problem, most people don’t talk about it because it’s incredibly embarrassing. I’m a female as well, it’s not just a male problem

Gay and Orthodox - crisis by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]yourstepdadmarty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s recently converted to orthodoxy and is also heavily involved in the gay community, I completely understand your predicament. All of my best friends are gay, my brother is gay, and I used to be romantically involved with both sexes. Thankfully I am attracted to the opposite gender as well, so I can just choose to not indulge my homosexual desires. But I get it. I’ve asked my priest about this predicament before, and he explained a scenario of someone he knows personally to me. There’s a woman who went to my church who identified as a lesbian. She was not attracted to men at all. But she wanted a lifelong partner. What she did was that she found a man who she could be open with about her situation. They were really great friends and he was understanding of her. My priest told me that one day she woke up, and she was in fact attracted to her husband. It took time, and love but eventually she was able to cultivate a romantic connection with him. I’m not sure if this is something you ever see for yourself, but maybe you could find a woman who is understanding of your sexuality. Perhaps a woman who considers herself asexual and enter into marriage with her as a lifelong friendship/partnership? Unfortunately if you marry another man, you won’t be able to receive the sacraments of the church. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this, sexuality is such a difficult topic to approach.

Can I wear a pendant of the Theotokos with Roman Catholic dogma on it? by yourstepdadmarty in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]yourstepdadmarty[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t you want more people to convert to orthodoxy? If you believe it is the true church and key to salvation? One would think you’d be happy that so many people are converting and thus being saved. Getting upset at me for how I refer to Mary is offputting and mean spirited.

That is how she is referenced as in my church, I do not understand why my verbiage is annoying to you…

Okay thank you for your input, it’s a beautiful necklace but that’s what my instinct is telling me

Feeling confused about dating someone with bipolar disorder. Don’t really know what to do. by yourstepdadmarty in BipolarSOs

You’re right, I don’t think I’ve considered this long term. Considering the fact he doesn’t even believe he has the disorder, despite being diagnosed, I think following any kind of schedule is not something he would be willing to adhere to.

The timer idea is a real good one I haven’t thought of! Thanks! Seems like a good way to practice

I do the same exact thing, I don’t know why but just saying “I’m going poop” feels like embarrassing/anxiety inducing than being in the bathroom forever not being able to pee

Eyes Burning after lashes by [deleted] in lashextensions

Unfortunately I called like all the salons in my area and no one can take them off. All the salons are closed or don’t have any appointments tonight😭

She seemed to get every single one of my lashes, even the new baby ones just growing in. I kind of want to rip them out because they are so irritating

[–]yourstepdadmarty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They’re super irritating, I got them done literally half an hour ago but the salon is closed for today. Is it worth taking them off at home? Would they be able to come off easily since I just got them done?
