2023.06.05 11:35 tordenskrald88 I think I was SA'ed when I was young and reacted by fawning? Is that possible?
Please be kind. I feel vulnerable and English isn't my first language.
For years I have know about rape not needing to be a stranger jumping out of a brush to assault you. I have been one of the commenters saying consent means actively checking in on your sexual partner and for some people it's natural to freeze during an assault instead of fighting or fleeing. That consenting to sex, doesn't mean consenting to all kinds of sex, ect. But apparently for a numbers of reasons I have never applied these to my own past.
I kinda need to know what this looks like from the outside, because I honestly don't know anymore.
When I was like 18-19 I was drinking a lot, partying a lot and had a lot of casual sex (I know now, and knew even back then, that it was an unhealthy coping mechanism but I didn't really know how to deal with things other than that). I live in a generally sex positive country and the environment I frequented included a lot of hook up culture.
One night a guy took interest in me and I was down. We left the bar we were at, but had no place to go to have sex. It obviously annoyed him, and I suggested we just did it in park nearby, that would be empty at night. A really secluded place. He agreed since there where no better option. Things got rough really fast and to boil it down he almost bit off one of my nipples (as in, it was almost not connected to my body anymore - it ended up healing though), he tore my butt cheeks apart so roughly that my skin split all the way from my anus to where the cheeks meet. It was a bloody mess. I was bleeding vaginally too. In the moment I reacted with doing whatever I felt like I could to make him cum fast thinking then it would be over. It included thrusting back and moaning at points. Then he choked me so hard I almost passed out. I thought I would die and wanted to call out for help, but obviously couldn't get a word out. In the moment I thought "this I why he really really wanted a room. He's going to kill me". Then it was over. I used the next week to get over my injuries and hide the marks around my neck and shoulders and breasts and try to make things heal. And telling myself I was a bad bitch for engaging in what I at that point accepted as just bdsm (I know better now).
It never really occurred to me how wrong it all felt. I even met him later as we were regulars in the same place, and he ignored me. It was at that point I realized that he probably didn't actually think I liked it. Yeah, I know, I was naive.
I just stored it as bad sex in my memory, but now, being in my 30s and looking back at it, I feel like it really wasn't okay. I don't care for him so much at this point in my life, but I think what I really need to know is, is it possible to react like I did during an assault? To just do whatever to make it be over as soon as possible, including sexually interacting? And isn't it wrong to act that violently during sex with a new person without discussing it beforehand? In the situation I never really felt like it was possible to say no or stop it, but maybe it was?
I don't know if I have just told myself this was bad sex, because I couldn't accept myself as a victim of assault, or if what I did was actually willfully participating. I just feel so confused and have so many feelings about something that didn't matter to me nearly as much back then - maybe exactly because I acted like it was okay and that I had a choice.
I feel like I'm rambling, but has anybody heard of or experienced something like this or have any thoughts that can help me deal with suddenly looking at myself and my experiences in a different way.
(therapy is not an option in my life right now)

2023.06.05 11:34 Bduggz It took them 17 years, but I am diagnosed.
I have shown symptoms of idiopathic hypersomnia since early elementary school, where I would sleep 11 hours, then pass out in the nurse's office at noon for the rest of the day. It greatly affected my life, my ability to go to school, and though I recently graduated, it nearly tanked my entire college career before it truly began (I was put on academic probation because of how bad my grades were; i slept through nearly every class.) I'm honestly not sure how I even made it through high school
They said it was central sleep apnea, then obstructive sleep apnea, then narcolepsy. I had 3 sleep studies, then recently a sleep study and an MSLT test, before they FINALLY diagnosed me.
It's really bittersweet. I finally have an answer, the devil finally has a name, and I'm finally getting treatment, but I've wasted so much time being asleep and missing out on my life, time I can't get back. I don't know if I should be thankful for or mad at my doctor, and I wish I could chew out my old doctors who kept kicking rhe can down the road.
Sorry about the long post - just really needed to vent. I hope treatment helps; I just want to live my life the way it should be lived, you know?

2023.06.05 11:34 AgereSylveonDarling [Let's Build] D100 A little bit of everything for your aristocratic woman~
Do you ever wish that lists had a bit more accommodation for the gentleladies of your fantasy retinue? Weeeelllll step on up to your one stop shop of anything for the highborne girls!~ (Fair warning that
most of this list is coming from a huge personal list of concepts that I've had for a
long time, so I don't remeber any names of original creators as I never expected to share the list or anyting on it. If your concept is on here, please do contact me, please, so I can give proper credit)
- A hairpin adorned with an elvish love note, folded into an origami flower; you always smell nice, no matter how dirty or sweaty you are (u/ChihuahuaJedi)
- A veil of creamy, silken fiber shorn from a unicorn’s mane, hung from a braid of cloth-of-gold.
- Sweetpearl II: Spoilt pageant pony, a gorgeous Andalusian mare. Fears being alone, and great at making you feel guilty.
- A delicate shawl, lacy and fringed, woven from pearly spider silk.
- A dark blue silk mantle lined with white mink fur and embroidered in abstract silver diamond patterns at collar and hem.
- The Ladies Who Lunch - a guild of the who's who in feminine society that have been issued a holy mandate to find the very best cheese and wine pairing. Often women in full corsets and gowns are found spelunking into forgotten country wine cellars
- Phoenix Flan - A delectable Flan that, once halfway eaten, bursts into flames and reforms as Creme Brulee
- Ice sapphires. Usually cut into small cubes, these are placed in cups to keep the contents cold on hot days.
- A snow globe, and inside, there's a beautiful little pastoral town with rolling hills and pink and blue flowers. You shake it, and in a swirl of pink and blue petals, the scenery has changed to a snow-dusted town. Also goes vice versa.
- A small jar of golden nails with flower shaped heads that can only be driven by a glass hammerhead.
- A single brilliant blue rose petal that smells faintly of almonds, rolled up in the finest white silk handkerchief.
- Sewing Kit. One of the needles is coated in a potent drow sleeping poison.
- Flower bread is made from various types of powdered flowers giving it a light floral taste.
- Heavenwurst, a sausage made of ground up Angel Wings.
- This Drow elf matron wears expensive, white gloves woven from finest spider silk.
- A clockwork butler. Every noble needs a servant, though people who keep as dangerous company as yourselves may need something more sturdy than an ordinary butler. For you, the king has prepared a gilded, perfectly-crafted clockwork device to give to you to help you on your journey. It can cook, it can sing, it can engage in basic conversation, it can do duck calls, it can identify mushrooms, it can make your bed, it can dust your cupboards, and everything in-between. While looking and acting like a clockwork automaton, like a man who's powered by gears and levers within himself, he has the stats of a duodrone.
- Unicorn Horn Broth - Shimmery golden soup with a taste like a sweet honey roast, often has a small dusting of nutmeg. Has intense healing properties.
- A Lady’s saddle, with bit and bridle included. The fixtures are in gold, studded with translucent pink garnets, the leather is of the highest quality.
- A tiara that allows you to experience the sensory experience of a black cat as long as you wear it and close your eyes.
- A tapestry woven from the finest silk. It depicts a king and his court having a feast in a garden. A kirin (or some other appropriate holy creature) flies across the sky in the background.
- Fae Mouse-Dragon - Likes to viciously attack flowers and nap in the destroyed petals. Uses emotion magic on you to communicate its needs and feelings, so try to keep her happy unless you want bad vibes. She sheds her scales once a month, and they're a powerful aphrodisiac when consumed!
- A stall of assorted crystal bowls and cups displayed with wax fruits, all of it outlandishly overpriced.
- Unicorn Wax: Burning this wax-like substance that is found under the tongues of certain unicorns and inhaling the smoke will cause the user to experience hallucinations of a magical, bright, and colorful world for 1d12 hours, and increases wisdom by 1 for 1d6 hours.
- A baby’s mobile bearing four silver plated doves, elegantly sculpted, with translucent blue azurite eyes, suspended from a teak frame.
- A gold statuette carved in the likeness of a canary and is small enough to fit in a pocket.
- Bride’s day – Commemorating the beginning of summer, all the new brides dance with the unmarried women, to imbue to them their own marital fortunes.

- A Gentleperson's Toolset - A rather large and expensive set of tea, along with a huge and renewable stock of platinum quality tea leaves and sweets of all kinds.

- A silver hip flask engraved with drunken satyrs in various acts of foreplay with nymphs.
- Kaleido cakes - Boldly colored cake, made of shifting geometric patterns with different flavors, but always with a moderate dusting of powdered sugar. Simply rotate the cake until the flavors change to your personal tastes, but your friends can change it too.

2023.06.05 11:32 charliehind_ Update on attending an 80 mile group ride having previously only done 45 miles at once
Went yesterday, had a mechanical on my way to the meeting point (lol) but got it sorted and arrived there on time, then completed the ride with no issues whatsoever, did some solid shifts on the front and was even in the first group to finish the sprint in the last few miles.
The whole ride ended up being about 85 miles but honestly I probably could have made it up to a century. Interestingly I didn't each anywhere near as much as I was expecting to (though I did have a bacon sandwich and a cake at the cafe stop...). I get plenty of gels and an energy bar leftover. Better to take too much than not enough though.
Thanks to all those to commented and encouraged me to do it! I'll be going again next Sunday for sure.

2023.06.05 11:31 TheMidnight- AITA for accusing my GF of cheating after a night out with coworker
Hey Reddit I have a dilemma . This past weekend my gf (F29) told me (M29) that she was going out to a work event for one of the higher ups . Throughout the night we texted sporadically until she texted me at 10 letting me know she was home . About ten minutes later she shared an Uber ride with me by accident . She texted me that she shared her coworkers ride home by accident . So I call her right away and ask her what was she doing ? She tells me after the work event her and her male coworker when back around her place and went to another bar and then she sent him home in an Uber cause he was very drunk. At this point I’m seething cause she did not tell me she was alone with this guy . And that she was alone with him “near” home . She assures me that he never entered her house . But am I the asshole for suspecting that she cheated ?

2023.06.05 11:29 Appropriate-Pilot745 I still miss my ex.
I left my relationship with my ex partner (we’ll call him “J”) of 8 months in Feb 2022. I got the guts to leave after confiding in my current boyfriend (i’ll call him “N”, 23m) about the unhappiness i was feeling in the relationship, who told me I deserved better. I jumped right into a relationship with N (not smart, i know) despite still living with and communicating with J. I tried to cut off ties completely, but it was complicated due to us living in the same apartment (separate rooms; right next to each other). I was going to see N on my days off to stay away from the apartment, hoping that would help me get over the breakup. It didn’t, and I ended up breaking it off with N for a week or so and went back to J. I felt so terrible about hurting N that I had to go back and we’ve been together ever since. We’ve lived together since Sep 2022 and have resigned our lease for another year. I love him, but I find myself regretting it sometimes. I wish I would have let myself heal before jumping into something else, but I didn’t. Now nearly a year and a half later, I still miss J and wishing things turned out differently. N treats me amazingly, better than any partner I’ve ever had, but it just isn’t the same and it’s taking a toll on me and our relationship as a whole. I don’t want to have sex, we aren’t really affectionate anymore, and I’m aware I’m 100% of the problem. I just wish I could get over this to be able to live happily 😅

2023.06.05 11:28 Playful-Reflection12 Is it just me or do others feel the same about hubris?
Have a friend, not Gen x, who thinks nothing of pointing out how much she spends on nearly everything she purchases. She does this all over social media. I think I’m going to have to unfollow her. I find her braggadocio quite distasteful. Tell me I’m not the only one, please. I know our generation is a bit more low key than that, or at least I think so.

2023.06.05 11:28 MH3ndr1ks Little bug or feature question
Bought the game on Friday and already have 25 hours in it. I made a collection point for the traps and put a trap to the left to it with the intention of playing with it later on. To my surprise I noticed that when an animal walks into is it gets send of without putting the trap in the collection point. I send of numerous animals throughout my playthrough without even being near the traps. I could be playing at the edge of the map and get a pop up that a animal was send of.
That was until today. Now it just traps the animal but does not automatically send it of. I was wondering if it is suppose to do that or did I encounter a bug that made me some handy money?

2023.06.05 11:25 DarkSaiyanGoku I think PG-13 is limiting the MCU a little
In the past 10+ years of the MCU, we've seen many different genres that they've experimented with. From sci-fi to heist movies, from fantasy to martial arts, from highschool dramas to horror, etc. The MCU does have a wide variety.
One thing they have in common, however, is that they're all PG-13. They're designed to appeal to everyone. It's pretty good. However, with Phase 4, I've been feeling like sticking to PG-13 has been holding back some of the movies and TV shows.
Now don't misunderstand me, I don't think having an R-rating is automatically going to make a movie good, it's all about the writing. However, I feel like certain characters work better in an R-rated story compared to PG-13 and it would allow directors and writers to explore mature topics that otherwise would get glossed over in a PG-13 setting.
Using Doctor Strange, for example, I feel like his film should've been rated R. I liked Multiverse of Madness, I thought it was a lot of fun. However, it wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it would be. During its announcement, Kevin Feige said that Multiverse of Madness would be the first horror movie of the MCU and I was excited for that. What I got was good, but I feel like the PG-13 rating downplayed the horror elements. There were creepy moments, sure, but nothing that made me jump out of my seat.
For anyone skeptical, it's not like Disney hasn't made R-rated movies before. Through Touchstone pictures, Disney was able to make R-rated movies and since they have acquired the studios owned by Fox, they can theoretically produce R-rated MCU movies under those studios. R-rated superhero movies aren't a novelty anymore, they can and have proved to be successful and profitable. The entire MCU was a massive risk, what's one more?

2023.06.05 11:25 StupidD0D0 Some impressions of the new Hifiman Arya Organic and Ananda Nano
| Here’s some impressions on the new Hifiman models of the Arya and Ananda. These were in an event near me so i thought i’d give it a go and try them out. Hifiman Arya Organic I prefer these more than the stealth. To be honest, I really like the old Arya’s (non stealth model) more than the stealth’s so this may be the reason why i like the organic more. The treble (15k+) isn’t as jarring as the stealth and it retains the bass performance of the stealth so it’s basically a smoother Arya Stealth. The staging is ever so slightly more intimate than the stealth and technicalities and what not are roughly the same (take this with a grain of salt since i can’t hear any meaningful difference in tech and microdetails between the stealth and non stealth). Although i still like the non stealth more than the organic, I can’t deny that the organic is a more all-rounder type of headphone. I’d recommend the organic if I can only pick a pair. Ananda Nano I dig them! The bass is what stood out to me first, it reminds me of the more depth focused tuning of the older hifiman tuning rather than the more mid bassy newer hifiman tuning. You won’t hear bass notes more but you feel them more with these. Treble kinda takes a hit (atleast for me), the treble is boosted in the 10k - 15k region (stealth magnetzz) so it’s a bit too glaring in the treble. It’s basically a U shaped Ananda if i am to make an analogy. Technicalities wise, these two are on par. So between the two, it’s either if you want a more balanced tuning or a more exciting tuning. Really can’t go wrong with either. submitted by StupidD0D0 to headphones [link] [comments] |
2023.06.05 11:24 Legitimate-Test1595 I 31F am having a hard time with my long distance 29M husband. He no longer wants children. Is our relationship worth salvaging?
Hello!
I really need some advice from others who have been in long term distance relationships.
My husband and I have not been fully getting along for the past two years. We have been together for 10 years, and married for four. We spend most of our time apart, which is why we havent been able to resolve anything. Our sex life is fine. We get along quite well when we are together. Covid lockdown was a blast: we spent forever in each other's company and loved it. The problem started two years ago when I shared my desire for having children. He was never interested in them, but had always known I wanted children, and agreed to it when we married. He turned me down when i was ready to start preparing for them. He told me to give him six months to think about it. After six months he said later, and after nearly a year of me keeping my hopes up and clinging to that "later," currently he is saying never. There wasn't really much of a conversation. Originally just said no, and when I was finally able to get a reason from him (it took months) there was still no conversation. He just stated why and left it at that. No room for comprimise. Ive been spiraling in and out of depression ever since. (For anyone who has been through this before, I still don't know how to get past this emotional betrayal. But I'm trying. I like him more than theoretical unborn babies, atm. But im still depressed. Advice would be appreciated.)
The added complication is that we are a service couple. We spend most of our time apart from each other. Like now. We have been separated for most of the year, which means bringing the baby conversation to its conclusion keeps getting put on hold as he work is his priority. His job is really dangerous. Mine is not. His is exhausting. Mine is quite easy. So I understand why he can't deal with my issues right away. The work separation thing is supposed to end in October, and after that we should be together far more often than not. However, I'm starting to feel like he legitimately just doesn't care.
Honestly, I feel so unsupported by him. I was bullied at work for months while i was away this year. These girls literally picked away at my self esteem to the point where i didnt even want to leave my room to go to the bathroom if they were around. I would tell him about it on the phone; he listened but there was never any comfort. When I finally came home, I was so defeated. I told him how betrayed and depressed I felt from his not wanting children, and how low my self esteem was from my experience away, and he said a few words, cautiously, but then refused to talk about it anymore. I told him I feel like my mental health is the worst it has ever been and he basically gave me a hug and never brought it up again wirhout me mentioning it first. I tried saying we needed to sort this out before he left again, or else I was going to have a terrible time and end up spiraling, and I ended up doing all the talking. Nothing was resolved.
Flash forward two months, we are apart right now. We talk for maybe 10-20 min a day, or every other day. Phone calls are fine, as long as we only talk about work. When I try to bring up my struggles, I'm legitimately afraid that he'll brush me off. Because 90% of the time, he will. For the last few years I've tried to bottle up my disappointment from the lack of intimacy when we are apart, and when I finally can't stand keeping it to myself, I explode in long text messages. Lately these explosions have been happening more often, because its the only way for me to say what i want without feeling ignored and like im talking to myself. I'm polite in text (i hope). I dont blame him. I don't want to hurt his feelings. I just state things as I see them because I want him to understand my point of view. They're basically the same thing as what im typing now. I know its annoying to get every few days, but i have no other way to communciare honestly with him anymore about things that matter to me, bevause im afraid to try and talk only to be met with silence. He is aware of why i do it. I know he reads them, but a lot of the time he doesn't respond.
Lately, im so on edge that any hint of rejection makes me spiral alone for hours. Im living in a new town, at a new position at work, alone. Last night I felt so fed up (I asked him to come to a work function with me when he gets back, because i didnt want to be alone while everyone else brought their family, and he ambivalently said no because it would be awkward for him) that i texted a long chat, reiterating that I need support, and for the first time i ended it by telling him exactly how id like him to respond (I watched a lot of videos on stonewalling and figured he was ignoring me because I was being overwhelming, resulting in him not know what to say). I was tired of getting nothing substantial back and needed to feel like he cared. I didnt ask him to say yes he'd come, i just wanted him to confirm that if i really needed him, he'd be there for me. I was at the point where I sucked up what little pride i had left and tried to hold his hand to get some emotional support.
Today he told me he was sorry and that he is desensitized to my long texts and can't use up his time reading it. He implied he would address my anxieties in two weeks when he gets back.
I never meant for my messages to so shocking that he could eventually become "desensitized". I wanted him to understand me. And in that situation, i really just wanted him to say he would be there for me. That wouldve been enough for me to get through the rest of our separstion. And what I really, really wish he would do is just acknowledge how badly the baby thing has impacted out marriage, and actually sit down and talk it through with me. I'm having a hard time trusting him to be there for me anymore.
And thats where i am at. I feel utterly alone. Honestly, I know it's not 100% his fault. He's busy, he's doing a dangerous job, I know for a fact he isn't cheating on me, he just sucks at communicating. And he has never told me to stop texting him, he just doesn't have time for it. Before he left i had even asked him how im supposed to communicate with him when I spiral, and he said to text like i always do. But at what point do I stop just letting this emotional rejection slide? I'm talking to nobody. I feel so broken and emotionally starved. Im chasing after him for morsels of sympathy. I signed us up for couples therapy for when he gets home, but I'm starting to wonder if he'll actually participate. Or if I'm just going to get hurt again trying to get my needs met? I understand that getting long, emotionally charged text messages from someone is not ideal, but I literally do not know how to communicate with him anymore. We are a service couple, and the military lifestyle isn't the most conducive to family life. Its hard to establish effective communication when youre always being pulled away. Am I the problem? I know I'm starting to get really exhausting. I'm tired. I keep trying to work on myself, but he never changes. Like, will he change once work calms down? Hes the only person ive ever been with. I grew up in a single parent household. I dont know how this works. :( Has anyone experienced something similar? I want our relationship to work so badly, but it's not right now. :(

2023.06.05 11:19 SanePsyco17 I had the craziest dream. There was like a 10 foot python in my house, as well as another snake...
I was freaking out , hearing snake hissing and the small snake came at me. I saw the python lurking around then it attacked the small snake,constricted it and ate it. Then turns out the python HAD IT OUT FOR ME. It chased me everywhere, found every hiding spot I was in. Nearly got me a few times. After like 30 minutes I managed to hide and it went back into the hole in the ceiling.

2023.06.05 11:19 skiplodocus My housemate has bed bugs, how worried should I be about them getting into my room?
I know how what I’m about to say might sound incredibly self-centred considering the situation but I really need some consolation. I’m deathly afraid of bed bugs, and ever since my flatmate told me he‘s got them I’ve been so mentally drained.
I can barely sleep, I’m having panic attacks at the sight of any lint or debris that looks even slightly bedbug-like. A couple times I’ve woken up TERRIFIED and crawled onto all fours to search my bed for hours. It’s awful but I even feel scared to be around him, I won’t go near his room, and I’ve stopped going into the lounge.
Crazy part is: he’s not even fazed! In fact he often jokes about it, and loves to show off the million welts that now cover his torso.
Do you think I should be this worried about getting them? If yes, is there any kind of prevention I can use to make sure I don’t?

2023.06.05 11:18 aby_97 25(M) - I'm confused if I should ask the girl I'm casually seeing to be more open and honest about the other people she is seeing?
So, I'm a fairly simple guy who usually stays away from anything casual/hookups. I met the person I'm seeing on an app, let's call her Pam. So, Pam is in one of the top B schools here in India, so she is smart, has a slender body, and is extremely good with her words. So, she was someone right from the outset I knew had a dozen other guys lining up for her and hence I did not want to waste my time much in wooing her. I would not text her at all after we exchanged numbers, I've thought of doing but knew she would have someone better looking or smarter with her. Eventually, she texted me from time to time with texts like "Hey, I really found you sweet when we talked and was just thinking about you". So, eventually, we moved to calls over texts, and the second time we were on call we talked for hours and that call eventually ended in phone sex. Then, we met each other in person, and for the first 2 dates, I did not make any moves at all even though I knew she was waiting for me to make one. I just wanted to be respectful and have some more comfort. Eventually, she asked me out for a 3rd date for a movie, she held my arms the entire movie with her head resting against them the entire movie and eventually we made out in the parking lot. Post this after every date, we made out and I was becoming more adventurous with her. We ended up having sex near the emergency exit of a mall and in the men's washroom once. I've never been this wild with someone before, we have a great chemistry.
She is now moving to a different city for her education. She told me that she would travel to meet me & that she genuinely likes me and would want to stay in touch.
I'm in a predicament because the reason why it has worked with her so far is that I never bothered asking her if she met someone else over the weekend because in my head I knew she must have because she would talk about her day but leave certain timelines out. I was fine with it too since we did not expect commitment from each other and there were no actual feelings attached. I just met her yesterday, she was a little tipsy and she told me that she feels attached to me and this was probably the last time we were meeting so I asked her what you want to do, and she just told she wanted to cuddle and sleep in my lap and that's what she did and I did not know what to say, She also started asking me if I would abandon her and whether I thought she was a good person. I like her and care for her but at the core, I want a relationship where two people are involved with each other and that's it. I feel if I say I want a fully committed relationship she might be thrown off by it(don't know) probably.
How can I respectfully ask her if she has been with anyone else and also want to understand if want she said if she really meant it.
