... works in more unsuppressed uppers with vltor's rifle spring than you'd think.
Ran 60 rounds of PMC bronze through an 18 inch white oak rifle-gassed upper in mostly groups of 5 through Pmags, along with a 20 round slowfire magdump if you can call it that. 4 o clock ejection. Always locked back. Spicer stuff ejected at 3 o clock. The BCG is the one white oak included with the upper.
Just to make sure, I had the buffer put on a scale. ~7oz as vltor advertised.
I had similar results with my 14.5 bcm mid with a microbest premium BCG the other week. Going to put 2 more boxes of bronze through it with the heavy buffer to make sure I'm not imagining things soon.

Took a trip to see mom for mothers day (450 mile round trip), realistically only need to stop and charge once for maybe 20 minutes each way. Simple, easy right?
I've done this trip a few times in my EUV, and it really doesn't matter if it's an old station, brand new stations, the fails are regular and consistent with EA.
This time around - nearly brand new set of 6 charging stations, all 350kw (not that it matters). Pull in, plug in, and start the charge only for it to boot back to the "session complete" instantly. Did this on multiple chargers.
Turns out - without telling you anywhere on the charger or in the app, unless you have $10 in your account it just won't work. (I Had like $7.50 in my account) Soon as I added another $10 to the app it worked.
Return trip home - more problems, show up, plug in, start charging, holy crap it started the first time! Worked for roughly 60 seconds then "session completed" after transferring something like .50kwh. Moved chargers and it decided to actually work for the 15 minutes I needed it to.
Previous road trip I took - different (older) station gave the same problems but would fail with a message "unable to charge" across all 4 stations, luckily I was able to make it to another station 30ish miles away.
I very much love my EUV - but between GM's shenanigans, and the average charging experience, I can absolutely see why the only place one would want to charge is a Tesla station.
Luckily I only have to make this trip 2 or 3x a year, but if I was having to public charge regularly no way I'd want to deal with this often at all.

I just had a consult with Lisa Friederich a few days ago and wanted to post about it here to share info but also potentially see if people had any ideas with dealing with BMI limits?
Lisa actually has told me she has a BMI limit of 40 due to working with Hunter Hill Private Hospital. This puts me off a little bit since I do have a BMI relatively close to that but I think I should continue to be just under. In case that does change, are folks aware of surgeons that have a higher limit?
I’m probably going to get another consult with a different surgeon, just to compare things. I know Steve Merten is a potential option, same with David Caminer (in Potts Point), Scott Cairns (at Lake Macquarie Private Hospital), and Gary Avery (in Newcastle). Not sure who else that’s reputable might be available.
For the cost estimate, I was told:
Surgical fee: $12,000 (under medicare item number 31529; surgical fee estimate is valid for 1 year)
Anaesthetic fee: around $2,800 - $3600
Hospital fee: around $6000 if uninsured, around $500 if insured
Pathology: around $500

“I sat with my anger long enough, until she told me her real name was grief” - C.S.Lewis
I was talking to my therapist about an ongoing situation involving one of my brothers and our mom and when asked how I felt the only answer I had was pissed off/angry. My therapist validated that but also asked what was underneath that anger (like how in the quote above grief was the core feeling, anger was secondary). I honestly didn’t have an answer for my T. Any time I think about him or this very big and complicated situation/dynamic that has come about in the last 2 years I get so mad and while I’m actually against physical vi0lence, I really want to smack my brother upside the head until he gets some sense knocked into him.
Anyway, I guess my question is how do I go about figuring out what’s under the anger when the anger is all I see? I also really struggle to let myself sit with or embrace anger for more than a minute or two so that probably also complicates things. I would really love to go to my next session with more insight into my experience but right now I’m at a total loss.

OK, maybe a bit glib. But I love to watch/listen to Mayday and Air Crash Investigations as kind of a "podcast" while driving/commuting. Probably listened to 200 of them, as well as some of the other tubers that do aircraft investigation/reporting.
However, in what seems to be a significant number of incidents, spatial disorientation, or some phenomena similar seems to have pilots disoriented as to the attitude of their aircraft. I get that. Night, moonless, no horizon, fatigue, boredom, whatever, in my own mind, it seems like a few degrees of roll or pitch might be unnoticeable in the sense of a physical sensation, with all the stuff going on during a flight.
I guess my question is 2 part:
1) Is there some kind of psychological disconnect between actually looking at the ADI, and it corresponding to the pilot's perception of reality? The ADI is accurate, but it's just not believed because, well, I don't know why? I get that an instrument might fail, but that's gotta be a pretty small percentage of the time.
2) It would seem that when you're hanging by your straps as a plane rolls to the left 50 degrees, and the copilot is up against the center console, and the pilot laying on the wall, or your hat is laying on the roof, that, well, regardless of ADI, you're not in straight and level flight, and somewhere, between 2 and 50 (in the case of the one I just watched), it had to be noticeable, and in my own mind, noticeable far closer to 2 than 50.
It just seems like a glass of water on the dash, or a pair of fuzzy dice hanging from the overhead console would give a "no matter what the instruments say, reality is..." type feedback that might be more visceral. Dice hanging towards the back? Climbing. Dice laying on the front windscreen? Descending, probably pretty steeply. Dice pointing at the copilot? Right turn. dice going around and around in a circle? Top Gun Flat Spin, etc.
I have a lot of respect for pilots, and the training and their ability to serve the public, and there are certainly plenty of examples of amazing piloting by people to get out of situations that escalated quickly. I also realize the human factor is far more complex than just this. But I can't help but wonder if automation and CG and such has taken us too far from the visceral.

I'm signing for my new condo on Wednesday and I'm feeling grateful and excited that I was able to find a home for only 100k, which is less than my annual income. It's a 2 bedroom with a balcony and laundry hookups. The HOA covers water, heating, and cooling. My monthly payment will be $500 less than my current rent + the aforementioned utilities. On top of that, the landlord proposed a rent hike of an additional $300/month which I'm happy to be dodging. The kitchen and bathroom are a bit old but totally functional and not ugly. I'm single and I have no interest in coupling up, so the space is more than adequate for my needs. The neighborhood is quiet and I had the opportunity to meet some neighbors before buying who all said they enjoyed the complex. My interest rate sucks but I should be able to pay off the loan in a couple years since I'm buying way below what the bank approved me for.
I'm originally from NYC and a place like this in a neighborhood where I would actually want to live would easily cost $1.5 million or more. I would like to retire early and that'll be much easier to achieve here.
So yea, there tends to be a lot of doom and gloom on this board with housing costs sucking so much in most places. I wanted to share my story and say that there are still reasonable options if you can swing moving to a more affordable area!

Alright, so I will preface this by saying that I largely stopped following FNAF after UCN for a variety of reasons. However, I wouldn't say I lost interest in the franchise. I was just temporarily burnt on spending hours at a time combing every detail of every pixel while following one theory update after another. And then after a year or two, it just seemed too much so I put off getting back into it while focusing on life problems. Plus, this was around the time the "soft reboot" was first proposed and at the time I felt it was a copout. What I'm trying to say is, I might be unclear about a lot of details, so don't crucify me 😂
For the sake of discussion, please don't hit me with "the games never happened" theory. I'm aware it's entirely possible that the first three games were pure meta fiction allowing Scott to retcon as needed. But it's also possible that they did happen. For the sake of this discussion, I'm assuming the ladder.
I recently watched MatPats Ultimate Timeline Theory from last year. Which is probably now only half valid because Help Wanted 2 is now out, into the pit is on the way, etc. Not that his theories are gospel. There's always possible differing theories and alternative explanations. But he does do a good job of explaining things, so whether you believe his theories or not, it was a good starting point for me to get back into the franchise.
Anywho, this has me wondering. If Henry Emily was indeed still alive, as suggested by his involvement in FNAF 6/FFPS, then who owned Fazbears Fright: The Horror Attraction? I know the attraction itself was owned by an amusement park, but I mean who owned the rights? At the time, it was theorized that the new owners of the franchise simply wanted to cash in on the reputation. This was also at the time it was commonly believed that the original founders sold the restaurants to Fazbear entertainment.
But we now know there was no new owner. One of the 2 founders of Fredbears Family Diner (and later Fazbear Entertainment), Henry Emily, continued to own it up until it's ultimate dissolution following the burning of Freddy Fazbears Pizza Place in FNAF 6. At least, until it was reincorporated by whoever resurrected it to build the Pizzaplex. Let's not talk about who the new CEO is, that's a whole other discussion.
NOTE: I know it's also possible that Afton owned Fredbears Family Diner independently before partnering with Henry to form Fazbear entertainment. This isnt the focus of the discussion so please don't zone in on this detail. The key point is that Henry has been around since the beginning of Fazbear Entertainment, and still owned it when the horror attraction was launched.
So this begs the question, if Henry Emily owned Fazbear Entertainment the whole time, why the hell did he license a horror attraction? Actually, as I type this, I came up with a possible answer. Perhaps Henry Emily is the one who burnt down Fazbears Fright? We know he did this with the final restaurant, and that the final restaurant was created for this sole purpose. With this in mind it stands to reason that perhaps Fazbears Fright was an early attempt at burning it all to the ground.
Golden Freddy and the Puppet are present. Which means, Charlotte and Cassidy are present. As is Afton/Spring Trap. Baby/Elizabeth isn't there, but it's also possible Henry simply didn't know about her yet. There was quite the gap between Fazbears Fright, and Freddy Fazbears Pizza Place, and like Michael, Henry was likely tracking the animatronics following the failed burn attempt. It could stand to reason that he learned about Baby and Molten Freddy during this time period.
Henry doesn't seem to be the type who would make light of the tragedy to make a quick buck, but he's the only person who could possibly have licensed the name, and gave permission to excavate the restaurant that served as Williams tomb. But, if he had an ulterior motive, such as ending it once and for all, he wouldn't be above using the amusement as a tool to make it happen. He literally intended for the franchisee of Pizza Place to be a random person, so he clearly didn't care who got caught in the crossfire.
But this begs the question, why not just burn the damn restaurant down? William was sealed in it already. Why risk releasing him into the world??? Was there some reason why it couldn't have been the restaurant that burned?

Just found it funny how at the start of his cheese conspiracy video he talks about how he won't do a topic unless death is involved. Papa Meat was right, Wendi really is chasing that high of the corpse he never found as a child. Maybe he actually would have been a car salesman or an accountant if he satisfied that morbid inch of his.

Yall, I’ve had this Reddit account for years but never actually used it. While enjoying my insomnia I decided to give it a whirl… and this shit is wild. After reading a ton of posts in this subreddit here are some things I think some of you need to know. (I’ve been with my husband for 10 years)
1.) Date him when you’re fat! - guys… the shear amount of posts where men can’t stand their wives weight and these women feel like they need to maintain the same body they had at 25 is INSANE! I’ve never been happier than I am tonight that my husband met me with a few extra pounds. 😂
2.) Find the unappreciated men! - if you’re looking for dudes who will love you for the long haul find the ones that flew under the radar! My husband is hot as hell, and is only getting better with age. He was a big kid and hit his glow up right before we met. He is humble and kind and women were stupid to pass him by.
3.) Suck it…. On more than his birthday
4.) Trade off on spoon positions! - don’t sleep on the power of being the big spoon! Im 5’4” and my husband is 6’2”. Sure his back is getting most of the love, but he keeps my boobs warm and he loves the change up.
5.) DO NOT LET FAMILY FUCK WITH YOUR RELATIONSHIP! - toxic family? Get your shit in order immediately! Communication is key with your partner and boundaries with family. You are each other’s priority. End of story.
6.) Rough times come in waves - You will continue to grow and change because that’s what humans do. Marriage means doing that together and often that comes at different times. Communication is crucial. Patience is a virtue, and sometimes you just gotta be the bigger person.
7.) Have hobbies and friends! - you don’t have to do everything together… seriously. You are still an individual! It’s ok to have your own time and space. My husband loves hiking. I would rather read in a hammock. He goes fishing and I would rather throw some clay. And that’s great! Have one or two things you love to do together, but don’t change everything about yourself to make someone happy. That’s dumb and will only lead to resentment.
8.) Own your sex life! - try new things, sit on his face, stick a finger somewhere… just laugh and enjoy 😉 ladies, I promise you that a true ride or die hubby will not care if your legs aren’t shaved and your thighs could crush a watermelon. Let go of those insecurities that are holding you back!
9.) Talk about kids/responsibilities BEFORE you get married! - I wanted kids, he didn’t. Accept that what your partner is telling you is what they mean! And then decide if they are worth the compromise. If you both want kids you damn sure better talk about childcare, chores, meals, money, etc. BEFORE you push out that bundle of potential divorce.
10.) You only get one life. - Really, just one… so make sure you’re with a person who you can look back in 40 years and think, damn… how lucky am I.

German inflation inched up in April to 2.4%, the federal statistics office said on Tuesday, confirming preliminary data.

My 14 week old is consistently waking up after one sleep cycle during bed time and can only be put back to sleep with a feed despite being fed 1-1.5 hours earlier and not actually showing any signs of hunger. There’s been 2 occasions where he’s slept through and done a 4-5 hour stretch, I’ve attempted to mimic there’s days to see if it helps but no success. Once fed back to sleep he’ll do his first stretch of long sleep but I’d love for him to do it as soon as he’s out to bed. We’ve tried a later bed time and it’s still the same. Currently his bed time is anywhere between 7-8pm and he’s currently taking 4 extremely short (35 minute cat naps) with wake windows consisting of 1.5/1.75/1.75/2. Im not sure if I need to drop a nap as sometime he really fights going down his naps! Please help!

Previous entry: https://www.reddit.com/buffy/comments/1cpqgdq/rewatchers_diary_season_2_episodes_5_to_7/
On today's menu: The Dark Age (2x8) and What's My Line (2x9-2x10).
Quick thoughts: The Dark Age is fine, What's My Line is part of why BTVS is great.
The Dark Age
Summary: Giles' dark past comes back to haunt him. It ends up hurting Jenny and distancing her from him.
This was fine. I didn't quite have the greatness which BTVS is capable of, but it was fine.
Random thoughts in a random order:

• In this episode we have the line "three down, two to go". In the next one we'll have "one down, one gone", and I think in the previous episode—Lie To Me (2x7)—there was also some take on "N down, M to go". These phrases always make me think of Willow's "one down" line in Villains (6x20), and the title of the next episode, Two to Go (6x21).
• Ooh, more Ethan! Ethan is great!
• I used to be a teenager, but it's a while ago. I liked Buffy's line near the end, which I'll inadvertently paraphrase: "I used to think of you as a grown-up [i.e. distant], now I discovered you're a person [i.e. relatable]". I think I must have forgotten the teen perspective and just how big the gap feels. The ages in my current friendship circles spans four decades. The scoobies at some point refer to Giles as "their grown-up friend". Huh, I guess I'm someone's grown-up friend, and my life feels less weird than the show is made to look on that occasion. Oh well, we have a shared recreational activity in real life, so the friendship that spans a big age range is genuine; affectionate as it is, Giles and the scoobies have more of a working relationship than a friendship. (In my book Giles hasn't fully stepped into the surrogate father role yet.)
• I guess I should talk about how this is a cautionary tale to young people about bad decisions in one's youth having the capacity to exact a price later in life. Uhm. It is.
• Hey, the morgue where Phillip (Deirdre's victim / transfer target) rises from the apparently-dead, is that the same morgue we saw in Never Kill a Boy on the First Date (1x5)? It kinda' looks like it.
• Yay for Willow being assertive towards Xander and Cordelia, "[either get to work, or] get the hell out of my library!"
• Poor Giles, having to once again face the fact that his actions got one of his friends killed, and now having to consider the fact that they may also get his love interest killed.
• Hey, does this feed thematically into the the way Buffy feels responsible for, in some sense, killing Angel (and making Angelus replacing him) in Surprise (2x13)? I think it might.
• Ooh: in this episode Angel saves Jenny. In Passion (2x17) Angel kills Jenny. (Yes, okay, Angelus.)
• Giles' irresponsible decisions almost got Jenny killed. Buffy's irresponsible decisions—unleashing Angelus—actually got Jenny killed.

What's My Line
Summary: Career day at school. The next slayer, Kendra, has a short enemies-to-rivals-to-friends with Buffy. Drusilla is restored while Spike is injured during the attempted escape, and Angel is injured during Drusilla's restoration ritual.
Oh boy, this is great. Random thoughts in a random order:

• Ooh, more Terminator references! Buffy is targeted for termination by (a) someone disguised as a police officer; and (b) a shapeshifting creature made of liquid metal maggots.
• Buffy is already doing uh supernatural community policing, so her as a police officer makes sense. I've not read the comics but I've heard she actually becomes a LEO. Her future as a LEO doesn't get much screen time, but I was still surprised by how much.
• But her actual career right now is being the Slayer, and Kendra shows Buffy how to do it by the book™.
• In that light, it's interesting that Buffy's determination increases a notch when she realizes it's personal: "no one messes with my boyfriend!"
• Willy! Ooooh I like Willy the slime ball.
• He suggests Buffy and Kendra might do "art photography, but naked". Buffy is 16 which is less than 18. Given SMG's age and look, Willy might have overestimated Buffy's age—but still, if such photography happened it would legally be ch*ld p*rn. I recall Buffy dismissing Willy with a disgusted face. I'm not sure how I feel about the show not commenting more strongly on this.
• On a lighter note (maybe), there was such a wonderful scene with Spike holding Drusilla in his arms and the two dancing after Spike talking about dancing on the slayer's grave. In Crush (5x14) Spike would happily dance with Buffy on Drusilla's grave. Between The Gift (5x22) and Bargaining (6x1-6x2), Spike is deeply troubled by the slayer having a grave. Oh how the tables will turn. And I guess in Chosen (7x22) Buffy is... not dancing, but definitely feeling a sense of relief, while standing atop the place where Spike is buried (the whole in the ground that used to be Sunnydale).
• Spike and Drusilla is an incredibly sexy couple. May I join in, please?
• Oz and Willow, while not yet a couple, are so cute together.
• Xander and Cordelia kiss. They are sooo awkward together.
• Buffy touching and kissing Angel in vamp face at the skating rink: the music makes it appear all romantic and stuff, suggesting that she's mature enough to see the man hiding below the monster's exterior. But really—I think—she's too blinded by hormones to notice the monster and the monstrous pile of red flags.
• Speaking of which, "We have this thing at school / Career day? / How do you know? / I lurk", that came across as somewhat stalker-like behavior to me. When Buffy tries to read Angel's mind in Earshot (3x18) out of jealousy, Angel says "[just ask]". Why doesn't Angel just ask what's going on in Buffy's life, then?
• Drusilla has been wearing her white dress the whole time, which I associate with purity and innocence. When at the end she's restored to her full strength and thus capacity for evil she's wearing all black. A nice contrast.
• Drusilla's white dress makes me think of a bridal gown. I think there ought to be some joke about a vampire couple staying together "till death do you part", but I haven't quite nailed it yet.

I was just prescribed the 2 mg dosage and have been experiencing minimal if any side effects on the 1 mg. Wondering if the increase side effects are significant. I’m actually really nervous. I’ve been on OZEMPIC since feb and have only lost 8lbs, most on the 1 mg dosage so I felt ready to go up especially with the lack of negative side effects. :) thanks in advance!

So here’s a breakdown for an interesting scenario I find myself in:
My business signed an agreement for a large shipping company to ship goods. This was during Covid (2021) and was for a decent amount of money (~$12k).
I paid the bill as agreed via wire transfer. A few days later, the company debited my account (I did not authorize this second debit, but they had my info on file presumably from the first). I reach out about the matter and they say it as an error via accounting on their part and they send an electronic refund a week or so later.
Fast forward 2 years to 2023. I’m contacted by the company saying I still owe the $12k bill. I send them the email thread and go back and forth multiple times as they look at the email thread history. Finally they ageee it was paid twice, but then they say they actually refunded me twice- the second time with a check that was cashed 6 months after the debt was paid (I did verify this amount was indeed cashed via a check from the company at that time, but I had assumed it was for something else- there are a lot of transactions in my business).
I say hey, first off I don’t agree that’s what happened/how do I know it’s for that invoice?Second; the money is spent and i don’t have it anymore anyways. Third: you can’t send someone money then ask for it back years later, and Fourth: if you do, you certainly can’t use that as a way to reopen a paid invoice from years ago, right? For example: Even if what they say is true and the money is legally due, it’s not due as part of an unpaid invoice, right? (ie it’s not a collections issue for a bad debt, it’s a banking error involving different laws altogether, right?).
After a few emails, the company passes this issue off to several higher ups within their company. I keep the communication open with them and always respond (I have perfect credit and value it).
It takes literally months of back and forth. Finally I get an email essentially saying they’ve passed the issue off to their internal legal team and will let me know how they proceed and if I owe anything.
More months go by. Get one more email from a new contact at the company and I forward the last thread to this new contact about how it’s been sent to legal. No response.
Few more months go by and I’m contacted by an outside collections agency for the full $12k citing an unpaid invoice.
A few questions: 1) What are my chances of avoiding this payment? 2) Is it legal for them to reopen a paid invoice and send it to collections by wrongly issuing a refund check?
FWIW im in CA, but I’d have to go back and read the contract to see what State it’s enforceable in. Original invoice was Jan 2021 and I have sent via certified mail that I do not ageee with the debt and that it was paid (along with proof of the original wire transfer and written confirmation of the receipt of funds from the accountant at the company).
Thanks for any help or insights you have!
TLDR: -Paid a bill for $12k to a company. -Company then debited me an additional 12k on accident. -company refunded me $12k a week later - months after this, the company claims they refunded me another $12k via mailing a check to me (I have not confirmed this to them, but the money is in my account) - they are now sending me to collections for the original invoice

I (34F) am so furious at life and the United States health care system. Sorry if this is long. Back story I got my first period in 5th grade the pain was so bad a passed out. I bled so heavily my mom was so concerned she brought me to the hospital. They basically told her that I (an 11 year old girl) had heavy period and bad cramps because I was over weight (by 15lbs) and need to exercise more. I bled for 8-10 days every month after (and still do). Every month became torture the week leading up to my period I’d be in debilitating pain and when it finally came I would bleed so heavy I’d have to wear 3-4 pads at a time. I couldn’t go to school. By 9th grade I was missing 2 weeks of school every month. They were threatening to not pass me. Doctor after doctor. Gynecologist after gynecologist all just telling me I’m being dramatic, maybe I just don’t like school and I’m lying, I need to walk the pain off, one after the other. It was disgusting. I stopped eating because maybe if I was underweight they’d take me seriously. One doctor when I was 12 actually looked me in the face and said oh honey it’s a shame you aren’t older we could just put a baby in you that cures it. Like what?!?!? I’ve lived with that lie my whole life. I’ve had laparoscopy after laparoscopy, rounds of that prostate cancer shot twice ( which they totally lied about and said was the same as a birth control shot comparatively). I have been made to feel insane like I’m a liar that I am causing the pain to myself. Told I could never have kids. And yet I miraculously got pregnant on my own twice. While on birth control (cause they all stop working after a certain period of time) and that lie that little lie I’ve held on to the light at the end of the tunnel “oh if you have kids it’ll cure itself” it’s not true!!! I’ve been on constant continuous birth control since I was 12 years old. All of them. Because they stop working after a while. Well after my second son I developed hypertension and became a stroke risk in hypertensive crisis. The first thing they did was tell me I can never take birth control again. (Im not overweight this time so at least they can’t blame it on that) My husband got a vasectomy cool. But I forgot after two pregnancies and decades of birth control how bad it is. I’ve been off the birth control for about a year now and each month is filled with a new torture. The pain is excruciating and knocks me off my feet. I’ve now delivered two children and can 100% say I want to go back in time and kick the ass of all of those doctors and medical staff that were so horrible. The mental health and eating disorder issues could have all been avoided if maybe one person had taken me seriously. Sorry for the long rant. I’ve been holding this in for a long time. And also anyone has any suggestions I am all ears. I’m looking into maybe getting a hysterectomy but I heard even that’s not a guarantee?

I'm (40+M) she is (32F). AITA for telling her that I want to settle down, as she has said she wants to love me without kids, I have 2 already, AITA for not understanding her sudden change to, I want Kids? To me it's a sign that she's been lying to me all along, she says yep ok, but actually wants her own offspring. I do love her. I do appreciate her. I'm just confused by this weird deviation from what has been discussed.

So my somewhat recent girlfriend of 6 months has this ex boyfriend who she was good friends with throughout most of high school and ended up dating for the last year of school. However just after they graduated he moved countries and they decided to end things because of the distance. In the meantime she met me about 6 months ago and we have been dating for about 4-5 months. Things have for the most part been pretty good, we fell in love and she's been completely trustworthy as far as I know. Although occasionally she can get distant and be a bad communicator.
However she and her ex have stayed in contact this whole time as friends and she says they "still care about each other as friends but that's all it is now." When she told me that he was coming back for 2 weeks to visit all his friends I thought I would be fine and could overcome and nagging insecurities that might arise and show her trust. But she has seen him every day since he got back, while I haven't seen her in 2 weeks because of a combination of us both being busy (my university exams are right around the corner). It also feels like she been less responsive lately and has much less time to talk to or see me. And as a cherry on top I've gotten a couple snaps with her head on his shoulder while she puts one of those funny filters on him.
I'm not sure if I'm just being jealous and overthinking this or if there is actually something bad going on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
TLDR: my gf's ex is back in town, they're hanging out constantly, I am starting to go crazy over it and would appreciate any advice.

I’ve been using it for more than 2 years now. No cracks or breaks, just few small dents on the sides, this iPhone is a brick! Solid asf. I advice people to not use a case because there is little evidence that it actually protects your phone, Apple provided use with the Ceramic Shield and a tough frame anyway. So why use a case or a stupid screen protector? It makes it hard for your phone to grab it out of your pocket. Feel the real Apple experience and use iPhone like what is supposed to be used.

I will apologise in advance for the long post.
I have been with my boyfriend for about a year and a half. I am his first girlfriend, this is my 2nd serious relationship. We moved in with each other at around 9 months and things have changed between us significantly.
We have both never lived with a partner before. Initially my partner was incredibly attentive, was always wiling to listen to my good and bad days, thoughtful, considerate, romantic, understanding etc. Things were pretty good with us! I was shocked because I hadn't really experienced this type of relationship before. We had small tiffs but we were always able to talk about things and sort it out. Our sex life was pretty good! We both liked pleasing each other.
It was almost a immediate change since we moved in. My boyfriend became pretty distant, to me it seemed like he didn't really like having me around. I tried giving him space and you know let him figure out his routine. His work was pretty busy, as was mine.
I was working overtime for about 5 months prior to us moving in together, and found myself burnt out maybe a month into us living with each other. My sex drive reduced, which was frustrating for me because I love sex with my boyfriend. We still had sex maybe once a week, and occasionally twice a week. But admittedly I did start getting frustrated because my partner initiated sex every day, even though I had mentioned to him that my sex drive has reduced and I'm not overly keen on sex right now. A lot of the time I felt obliged and wasn't really into it. He also had changed a fair, and the only effort he really put in, was to hace sex (and even so it was much effort and I didn't orgasm 80% of the time)
I noticed he stopped really taking interest in my life, stopped putting effort in with my family, he would often be on his phone when I was telling him things, we stopped going on dates. He knows I appreciate having a meal together, so I try to plan my dinner with his but often he would eat without me. We didn't do anything for our one year anniversary, I did plan a dinner but I ended up cancelling it because my partner was disinterest and indifferent to it. He seems to only compliment me physically (either my tits or ass) and rarely anything outside of that. It almost felt like he started to resent me and I wasn't really sure why. A few days ago I had a pretty scary road rage incident where someone ran me off the road and threatened me with a knife. My boyfriend said he would help me with the police report because I was really distraught. He never ended up helping me, he also didn't really seem to care that this happened. It was a bit shit, I thought he would have some sort of concern in regard to it but there wasn't. I got mad and vented my frustrations about his huge behaviour change since we've been living together.
He told me he kind of checked out emotionally when I wasn't really keen on sex. (I'd like to add that my sex drive improved since I started working normal hours again, which was about 2 months ago, so we have sex about 3 times a week) Hes told me that he doesn't feel these things intrinsically naturally ( like caring when bad things happen to your partner). But I feel like a lot of those things come pretty naturally if you love someone
My gut feeling is that, he doesn't actually love me, and wants someone to have sex with regularly. I've been trying to ignore the fact that his prime interest with me is only sex but it's starting to feel that way. He does take steriods as well btw. If I don't keep up with him sexually he just disconnects, I don't want to feel like I have to have sex to have a present partner that cares for me. I used to feel cared and loved by him but now its like he's someone else.
What does this mean ?
