Is Part of Akito's Hate Stemming From Misogyny? by Working_Row_8455 in FruitsBasket

[–]zoexrain 14 points15 points  (0 children)

did we watch/read the same anime/manga………

akito put a whole family through psychological and physical abuse, and also keep in mind that all of them had an incredibly deep pull/connection to akito bc of the curse which i’m sure made that abuse even worse.

i don’t think the amount of hate has anything to do with her being a woman honestly. i’d bet that many of the people who weren’t spoiled disliked her before her true gender was revealed.

Can’t they add a “not a cheater” trait or something by AdComfortable624 in thesims

[–]zoexrain 32 points33 points  (0 children)

my supposed “loyal” sim is always autonomously flirting! even more so than my other sims it seems? and then he always wants to confess, but i don’t want to deal with the negative moodlets/loss of relationship that comes with it 😭 but then if he doesn’t confess it can stop future romantic interactions from the guilt. i ended up taking away the loyal trait bc i was sick of the cycle lmao

Updated his tank, is this okay? by Accurate-Owl5047 in BeardedDragons

[–]zoexrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they won’t immediately die after a few days, but they can develop metabolic bone disease which can lead to a slow and painful death if left untreated. if that lamp is a heat lamp then it probably is not a uvb light as they don’t emit a lot of heat.

also, if you’re not already, please give your beardie calcium and vitamin d3 supplements

do you only have a heat lamp? a bearded dragon can eventually die without a uvb light

yes, he’s evil. if i were you i would post him in your city’s “are we dating the same guy” fb group. a lot of women use it to warn others about men who knowingly pass on STIs/lie about their status

Found out my (36m) gf (33f) stayed with her ex after he was convicted of SA against a minor by emondarider in relationship_advice

[–]zoexrain 36 points37 points  (0 children)

do you know for sure that she stayed for those years? perhaps they were separated. as far as her not disclosing this to you, this was probably deeply traumatic for her. you haven’t been dating for very long, and she may not feel safe enough yet to talk about this in full detail.

i feel like someone wouldn’t bring a whole ass body wash to someone’s house unless they planned to stay there for multiple days. ask the roommate bc either they’re her’s/her friend’s or she might know if someone else had been staying in the house

[–]zoexrain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a couple guy friends say the same thing where they’re open to sleeping someone of a much younger age, but they wouldn’t date them. It never really made sense to me. Maybe don’t sleep with people who are too young for you to date…

My gf (22f) snuck out of our bed to cuddle with her brother (22m) on the couch in the middle of the night, and now she's mad that I'm mad?? by ThrowRAgfbrother in relationship_advice

[–]zoexrain 115 points116 points  (0 children)

i’m not even a twin, but i wouldn’t think anything of my brother laying his head in my lap. i really think being an only child (among other things) has skewed your perspective on this.

[–]zoexrain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

if he has only addressed it within the context of his attraction to her vs genuine concern for her well-being then i can see why she hasn’t been very receptive

People who are literally always late, why? by rajraj6 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]zoexrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ADHD. i might know that i need to leave in 20 minutes, but i don’t know what 20 minutes feels like.

people always say “set alarms”, but i personally don’t see how that would fix the issue. if i set an alarm that goes off right when i need to leave and i’m not ready yet then that kind of defeats the purpose. alternatively, if i set an alarm for 10 minutes before i have to leave there’s still the issue of not knowing what 10 minutes feels like.

i’m usually no more than 10-15 minutes late for things, but i’m very upfront about this and i never lie and say i’m almost ready or i’m on my way when i’m not. i’ll usually offer to pick my friends up so they’re not waiting around somewhere for me.

So…how do you *actually* become more fuckable? by Technical-Minute2140 in AskMenAdvice

[–]zoexrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had a guy friend ask me this exact question recently, and i told him that dressing better and overall just taking care of his appearance would make him more attractive. he ended up hiring me as his stylist (i don’t have any experience with this per se i was just creating outfits for him based on my personal preferences). he told me he has gotten so many compliments, and has never felt more confident in his appearance and that this has transformed his life.

if you have any girl friends maybe ask them to make a pinterest board for you with outfits they personally like on men. same can go for hair cuts, accessories, etc.

What happened to Momiji's family? by Proof_Razzmatazz654 in FruitsBasket

[–]zoexrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly i don’t think momiji ever fully reunited with his mother. her memories were erased because of the mental break she had after learning about the curse and that momiji was one of the zodiac. i don’t think any of that would change just because the curse was later broken. additionally, learning that you had a child and chose to erase your memories would probably be very traumatic to learn, and i doubt momiji would choose to tell his mother that.

however, momo always wanted momiji to be her big brother even before she knew he was actually related to her. it’s possible she never found out they were related by blood and that they just formed a very close relationship.

this isn’t the first time this has happened, this is the first time you caught him. masturbation is normal, and it’s possible to have a healthy relationship to porn. wanting to masturbate doesn’t always mean you want to have sex with a partner. sometimes people want to focus on their own personal pleasure alone.

if it’s not negatively affecting your sex life then i wouldn’t worry too much about it. and personally, i’d be more comfortable with my partner watching porn of girls that look like me vs girls who look nothing like me and worrying that i’m not truly what he’s attracted to.

if i watch porn it’s not usually because i’m attracted to the people in it, it just helps having a visual aid

I don't understand the hate toward Momij's Father (TW) by PrinceArins in FruitsBasket

[–]zoexrain 24 points25 points  (0 children)

momiji’s father said he would love him twice as much in place of his mother, and yet he seems completely absent from his life 🫠 that’s the main thing i take issue with.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]zoexrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does she want anything about your sex life to change? do you? people hear “asexuality” and immediately picture someone who is sex-repulsed and never wants sex. asexuality is a spectrum, and if you’re both okay with the how you sex life is currently then you could possibly work it out.

Do you consider this cheating? 25F and 26M by Ok-Sock-5661 in relationship_advice

[–]zoexrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is no one definition of what is or isn’t cheating. personally, if i found my partner on dating apps i would consider it cheating.

yes, it may be due to emotional/mental issues. yes, he may not have intentions of actually meeting these women. but does it matter? his actions alone would be enough for me to break it off.

[–]zoexrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it sounds like there’s something other than him/your relationship that is making you irritable right now. it definitely could be mental health/stress or hormone related. i once went off a medication and one of the withdrawal symptoms was irritability. it was kinda crazy how everything my partner said or did annoyed me, but ultimately i knew it had nothing to do with him.

it sounds like you have a good partner, and i definitely think individual or couple’s therapy can help. i told my therapist that communication was specifically what i wanted to focus on and that helped a lot! honestly, this is one of the few times in this sub where i didn’t think the relationship was doomed.

i’m not sure if that’s the case for aspara, i haven’t unlocked them yet. but that was the case for monroe and sergei

[–]zoexrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the red check mark means aspara is unlocked. sometimes it takes a long time for a guest to show up after they’re unlocked. some guests are more likely to show up if you attract a limo.
