2024.05.14 22:20 Own_Play3121 I '20F' do not feel attracted to my boyfriend '23M' anymore, what should i do?

First of all sorry about all the mistakes, English is not my first language.
Me (F20) and my boyfriend (M23) have been together for 2.5 years and lived together for a little less than a year. We moved together to go to university and move away from out home city.
Seemingly everything has been awesome for the whole time, we have event talked about marriage (in the next 2 years) and getting dog together (this fall).
But about half a year I have felt less and less physically attracted to him, I don't feel the sexual tension and like a month ago I felt that I thought about other stuff while kissing him (school, work etc).
I have been thinking that what if I don't really love him anymore and the feelings I have are mostly affection.
In the last 2-3 moths I have also had a little crushes on another people. I have not cheated by any means and would never do that!
I feel like I want to experience the dating scene and flirt and have fun, but I really think I do love him very much and I want to marry and have a dog with him. Also I hate being alone so living alone in 2 bedroom apartment seems a bit scary (the apartment is mine so it's not that easy to just find another place).
What do I do? Should I try to get the physical attraction back and how? Or should I see the world and brake up? How do I know what is love and what is affection? How to I get rid of my feelings for the crushes? Any advice is helpful!

2024.05.14 22:20 Worth_Guess7694 I'm Terrified of Possibly Being Bisexual

All my life I've liked men, I've never had a crush on women whether it be real or fictional. So, naturally, I'm under the reasonable impression I'm straight. I have nothing against homosexuality despite the fact that I was raised in church. I always thought not me, not my problem. People can love who they want, how they want as long as its legal and moral I'm okay with it and support it.
With that, I have a bisexual friend, whom I've known is bisexual for years. I became closer to her in university and we hang out a lot between and in classes. She's very nice to me and is very affectionate in a way she likes to give things. She likes to buy me food and poke me when she's bored.
I've known this and was never uncomfortable with it because we're friends and I know we are just that. Friends. I've never had any desire to change that status of our relationship because friendship is all I want from her.
The thing that made me freak out is when we were with her friends and she was playing with my hair while I was resting my head on the table listening to music. I didn't mind, I like when people are affectionate to me. I'm also quite affectionate to people I like as well. For some odd reason, I just got sick and the thought that I liked her romantically popped into my head. I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. Even as I'm writing this, I feel a little shaky because I'm scared it's true. At that time, I was almost shaking and a horrible cold fear gripped my heart. It was so bad I was beginning to panic and I felt as if I wanted to cry. Eventually, after a few minutes I just went home and now I'm writing this.
I'm terrified. I don't know if it was basically a non harmful intrusive thought or if it was a realization. I'm not homophobic but I'm honestly terrified of myself being homosexual. I'm not even religious, I don't practice and I'm not even sure I believe in god but I've been told time and time again that being gay is wrong and though i don't believe it to be true, it's terrifying that I may be in that position that I'll be told being in love is a sin. Not to mention, my entire family believes homosexuality to be disgusting. I'm scared of what they would think of me if I did like women because my family aren't bad people, they just don't like that.
I'm honestly hoping that it was just sleep deprivation from my exams and a horrible intrusive thought. I tried to imagine kissing her to see if it feels like attraction but I can't even tell if the reason my heartbeat changes is attraction or just fear of believing I do like her.

2024.05.14 22:17 i-will-overcome First time poster - long time coming

Hey everyone,
I've been struggling with a very destructive pattern of paying for sex for some time now. I don't do it often, and bc of that I've fooled myself into believing that these act-outs are just a series of one-off events brought on by specific stressors in my life, but it has undoubtedly become a pattern and I know that I need some accountability.
For context, from a young age I've always engaged in somewhat deviant (to me) sexual behavior. I was raised very strictly catholic and from a young age was told in school that it was a sin to masturbate. I matured earlier than many boys and started masturbating in 4th grade. The first time scared the hell out of me as I had no idea what was happening. All I knew is it felt good and that I couldn't talk to it about anyone.
In 6th and 7th grade I was spying on my nextdoor neighbors. Two very attractive sisters whose room was right across the way from mine. I would watch them as they showered and changed.
Fast forward to 8th grade - I was in a serious relationship through 9th grade. This was the first time I had sex of any kind with another person. I also was cheating on her with many other girls.
Next was sophomore year of high school. The first time I experienced true love. And the first time I felt I had such a deep connection with someone else that was respectful and honest. And still I ended up cheating on her toward the end of our two years together. We remain friends to this day which I'm very thankful for, and hey it was high school - water under the bridge, young people make mistakes right? maybe, but...
Fast forward to my college years, I was in a very serious relationship for the entirety of college that culminated in marriage right out of school and a subsequent divorce a few years later. She was the one. Beautiful, smart, sexy. She had everything I wanted (or thought I wanted in my juvenile brain). But as we entered our 3rd year of dating, we began to have many serious sexual issues that we would later find out, stemmed from both of our underlying trauma surrounding sex. We continuously played out a very destructive sexual fantasy that was never explicitly spoken about until the very end of our relationship. In addition to this, I also had many emotional and physical affairs along the way.
That failed marriage prompted a complete overhaul of my life. I was devastated and I knew there were many things I needed to sort out if I was ever going to have a healthy relationship to sex and with another person. Thus, I found a therapist. An amazing therapist. I didn't realize how good he was until much later. The work we did together changed my life. I found a stable career. And I found the girl of my dreams. The relationship was calm, respectful, loving, and without the vicious ups and downs I had previously known. The sex was good and meaningful. We are still together - married with three children. And to this day I have not had any sort of emotional connection to anyone else but her.
And yet, I'm here. Early in my relationship with my now-wife, I visited a massage parlor and cheated. I talked about this with my therapist. We dug in and explored why I felt the need to do this and discovered that this acting out had very little to do with my relationship and everything to do with some unresolved issues inside of me. Thus, the advice was to not disclose the transgression to my partner as it would only cause her pain. That took me a minute to understand but I believe it was the right decision. I still do. And with time, I moved past it.
That was my only transgression for a long time. After many years of intensive therapy I was a new man, feeling more confident and secure in myself than I'd ever been. And so on my therapists advice we began to taper off on the sessions until finally we felt the bulk of our work was done and that I we would check in only on a necessary basis.
And then 3 years into my marriage, I acted out again. I visited another sex worker. I was devastated. But I felt confident that I could handle this on my own. I didn't call my therapist. I journaled, I downloaded a sober app, I conducted therapy sessions with myself, and I held myself accountable. And with time I began to feel better until the guilt faded away and after numerous successful moments where I stopped myself from acting out. This gave me a security that I might finally have kicked my issue. And so I went on with life, I didn't think of it often - only when those impulses would arise or I would catch myself drinking a bit too much and experiencing intrusive thoughts.
And then after almost 2 years of sobriety, I did again last week. And I'm crushed. It shakes the foundation I've fought so hard to build. It makes me question everything. It makes me feel like a broken person doomed to failure. And my deep fear now is that I've pathologized this behavior. I've normalized it. And that thought sends me into a panic. Is this what my life will be? Will I always have to carry around this shadow self? This is not the man I want to be. This is not the partner or father I want to be.
And what makes it that much more difficult is that my family and friends adore me. I've been referred to as "golden boy" more than a few times. I have an enviable life. And I'm the type of person who friends and family confide in and look up to. I've been told I emanate a quiet strength and people feel safe around me.
And yet, here I am with this terrible secret. I don't feel like the man people think I am or that I portray myself to be. I've called my therapist and we will speak tomorrow, but any words of encouragement or additional resources would be much appreciated. I cannot allow this to happen again. It is eating away at my heart.

2024.05.14 22:17 Potatoskewer22 24[M4F] UK/Online - Searching for the "one" isn't easy or quick but hey! Patience is a virtue or..... something like that

You know what they say, if at first you don't succeed....... something or another (P.S. pictures of me on my profile)
Searching for the "one" isnt easy, but what can we do aye? First things first, to throw some random bits of info out there about me! (Info dump incoming šŸ˜‚)
I'm 24 and biracial! Half Irish and half African/northern Indian, and I'm living in the UK!
I'm approximately 6'0"-6'1" in height and id say an average/kept build. I also have somewhat long-ish hair for a guy, going near my shoulders, it's naturally straight! I also have a well kept somewhat shorter and neat beard :) I also have very fair skin. I guess I took physically more from one side of my heritage šŸ˜‚šŸ¤Œ I'm also a Muslim lad! So just putting that out there too for the sake of it.
I do enjoy binging on junk food but between my high metabolism and my physically active job working as an electrician (which I'm trying to fully establish myself in) I tend to never put any weight on šŸ¤·
So! What am I looking for? Well it's a long shot. I'd like to imagine something like the female version of myself. My other half. Someone I find attractive, kind, easy going, fun to get along with, can hold a conversation without making it feel like a one sided effort and chore. Etc!
Important note!!!
IF you are not from the UK. Be aware relocating doesn't appear to be an option for me currently šŸ˜… so bear that in mind please. I am open to a potential long distance but again. There's that.
I guess I'm the hopeless romantic type. Fantasising about soulmates, something real, serious, natural and everything great. Is that easy to obtain these days? Bruh. HECK no šŸ˜­ but can a guy try? Well, here's to hoping I suppose. Guess only time will tell
Anyone between the ages of 20-27 is welcome! Anyone who wants to actually get to know each other and dreams about something sincere and real! (With some fun stupidity and jokes thrown in there of course, that banter is a mustšŸ—暟‘)
I like a woman with a little bit of confidence ya know? Probably one of the most attractive personality traits, who can hold a conversation and engage with the other person you know? Nothing more off putting than someone who gives single worded dead replies lol
Here's a bit more about me. My hobbies! my hobbies are various. I'd argue I'm an ambivert. Though my main hobbies lean towards something a little more introverted. You have hiking and the likes as well as going out with friends and driving around at night with them, but then you also have gaming which is a huge hobby of mine!! Well probably the thing I do most consistently šŸ˜­
So yeah! There's my shot being let out. I'd say I consider myself to be an honest and open book and would like someone who is open, honest and sincere in the same way!
Oh! And my preferred platform is Snap (:
So. Here's to hoping!

2024.05.14 22:15 toxicistoxic I think I'm projecting my own insecurities onto my boyfriend

I have been struggling with self worth and my body image for as long as I can remember. I had an eating disorder a while ago but I'm slowly getting over that. but I still don't like the way I look, I think I'm ugly as long as I'm not skinny. I'm trying to like myself but it's hard.
well, after not doing a lot of exercise or diets (I was busy getting over my eating disorder in the past year), I started exercising and going to the gym a lot, but don't restrict my eating anymore. I guess it's kind of where my problem begins. I constantly think I'm too fat. and feel bad and ashamed if I skip the gym. I feel like I'm a better person for going.
well, my boyfriend doesn't exercise at all (except for a physically demanding job which he isn't doing at the moment), he also doesn't care much about what he's eating. he's a bit overweight as well. I've always accepted him that way, it never bothered me since I think he's really attractive. but I guess recently I've been projecting my insecurities onto him. I catch myself thinking that he has gained weight or that he should exercise too.
I guess it's because I feel unworthy of love because I'm overweight and now I'm thinking that he has to lose weight too? but I don't think it's fair. I know he is very comfortable with himself and his appearance and I don't want that to change. I envy that he doesn't feel anxious all the time. I don't want to feel about him this way because I know it's just my insecurities, I don't want to project onto him or him to feel bad. I love him and I want to stop. what can I do? please help me, I really don't know what to do...

2024.05.14 22:14 Galm_ Letā€™s try something , which song for each Primarch.

So let me explain the idea.
I was thinking about this a few days after the beginning of all the PrimarchGF AU.
You take the role of actual or near to be SO of a primarchGF you can be a perpetual, a psyker etcā€¦anything you want.
The thing is, during your peregrination across the galaxy with your primarch you found thanks to some kind of luck, bargain or warp fuckery, many albums of music from our actual and past period.
Surprised at first but intrigued by your discoveries, you take time to listen and begin to appreciate those songs from an ancient era and then you heard it , a song different from the othersā€¦
And then the revelation appears to you like a Dreadnought punch, this is the one , this is the song I need to sing or play for her to show of much it describe her and express my attraction to herā€¦.
It can be from all genres of music, pop , metal, rock , classical etcā€¦
So my question is : what song do you think fit the most for each primarch?
For example I gave the idea of Ā«Father Figure Ā» from George Michael for LorgarGF on another topic, and for Fulgrim I was thinking of Too Funky for the lewd way or Waltz of the Flowers for a more romantic approach.
Letā€™s see your ideas now.

2024.05.14 22:12 Own_Play3121 I don't feel physical attraction for my boyfriend anymore, what should I do

First of all sorry about all the mistakes, English is not my first language.
Me (F20) and my boyfriend (M23) have been together for 2.5 years and lived together for a little less than a year. We moved together to go to university and move away from out home city.
Seemingly everything has been awesome for the whole time, we have event talked about marriage (in the next 2 years) and getting dog together (this fall).
But about half a year I have felt less and less physically attracted to him, I don't feel the sexual tension and like a month ago I felt that I thought about other stuff while kissing him (school, work etc).
I have been thinking that what if I don't really love him anymore and the feelings I have are mostly affection. (I don't think that's the case but I'm literally desperate to understand myself)
In the last 2-3 moths I have also had a little crushes on another people. I have not cheated by any means and would never do that!
I feel like I want to experience the dating scene and flirt and have fun, but I really think I do love him very much and I want to marry and have a dog with him. Also I hate being alone so living alone in 2 bedroom apartment seems a bit scary (the apartment is mine so it's not that easy to just find another place).
What do I do? Should I try to get the physical attraction back and how? Or should I see the world and break up? How do I know what is love and what is affection? How to I get rid of my feelings for the crushes? Any advice is very helpful

2024.05.14 22:10 sandor_boss I decided to get rid of self-isolaton

Recently I found out that I'm isolated. I am scared of people so I avoid them subconsciously. It makes me lonely and vulnerable. I always knew my mental and physical health are not the best these days but I didn't recognized that the source problem is self-isolation. I was never thinking about socializing as an important and essential thing. Until now!
Self-isolation generates itself. As far as I've got almost no social background I'm usually anxious because I can't feel like I could protect myself. Being scared of people holds me back from the feedbacks I'd need to recreate my self-love. What is more, this is a form of self-punishment. I feel guilt when I get love or when I'm liking someone. In these situations I take revange on myself with isolating myself even more.
Sometimes I try to connect to people but they usually look like they were mad on me. I guess everybody is frustrated when they are ignored. And hostality scares me even more so I give up after a while and I also become overwhelmed easily. This is not a healthy condition but luckily it is known now so I think I'll can solve the problem sooner or later. It was way harder when it used to be an invisible monster.
The best way to describe the problem is to tell the story of my actual crush. I'm developing a crush on a co-worker for months. But I don't know how to handle the situation. I never told her what is going on. Sometimes I try to flirt but you can tell how awkward it is all the time. I'm sure she is mad on me sometimes. I'm struggling with my feelings. I can't tell her what is going on because I'm affraid she will be angry and I'll get a panic attack or anything. On the other hand I feel myself a bad person because I'm attracted to her. So I'm punishing myself with avoiding her company. I feel like I wasn't allowed to like a girl like her. I feel anger because of the situation and sometimes I wish I don't have any crush on her. I'm very mad because I can't control my feelings.
Today I started to forgive myself somehow. I decided to allow my feelings for myself. I decided to spend as much time near her as much I just can and get closer and closer to her slowly. I decided to proudly own my emotions and talk about them when I just can. I also decided to seize all the opportunities of anykind of chat with anybody in my workplace so I won't be that vulnerable by the time the big confession comes. I started to understand that I won't be any less good of a person if she won't like me back.
So the problem is loneliness. It is not just a feeling but a serious condition that can change completely everything for the very worst. Today I don't want to let myself down. Instead I'd start socializing slowly to get as strong as I never was before.

2024.05.14 22:09 Head-Resort-3951 Because I need to put this somewhere.

Dear M,
Unlike J, I was not only interested in sex. Honestly that was probably last in my mind, ok maybe not LAST but certainly not first.
I know compliments make you uncomfortable and Iā€™m just going to apologize in advance for that. Iā€™m not ā€œlove bombingā€ you either.
I have already talked about your kindness. I donā€™t think I need to talk more about that.
Youā€™re just all around really interesting. I like hearing about how you interpret your job and your role there. I admire how seriously you take it all and how methodical you are. I like that you are so self confident and self assured, and comfortable with yourself. You have interesting hobbies and accomplishments. I like that you text so formally and in complete sentences. I probably drive you nuts because I donā€™t. I love that service and giving back means something important to you and that you take it so seriously. I love that you are so reliable. I love that you love your sister. And your cats. And your dad even if he makes you nuts. I spend a lot of time wondering how your mind works and what itā€™s like in there. I can guarantee you there are not many people who could convince me to work on a 1000 piece puzzle in silence for as long as we did. And I enjoyed every second. I also love that you will talk tone with me as long as I want and even ask me about pump and rpm. I love brainstorming with you and picking out tracks and reviewing new releases together. You always always inspire me to work harder. It can be my coaching, my form, or pushing myself to do something I might be worried or scared about doing (looking at you surfer squats).
Yes, I find you attractive. Your smile can wind me in a way no cardio peak can (hahahaha sorry I couldnā€™t resist). I get a little distracted if you make eye contact when weā€™re talking because your eyes are so blue and so sincere. When you pick on me during tone my heart skips a beat and I usually completely forget what weā€™re doing. I think itā€™s adorable when you come in on Sunday morning and your voice is so deep because youā€™re still half asleep. I worry about you when you look tired and seem off. I donā€™t think you need someone to take care of you. But as someone who loves to take care of people I wish you wanted me to. And you smell better than anyone has a right to smell. Even sweaty. Itā€™s not fair. I know youā€™re self conscious about how much you sweat but itā€™s not that much and you never smell bad.
But all of that? I noticed AFTER I got to know you, the tiny part of the real you I have seen. I never looked at you and first saw someone I wanted to sleep with. I saw someone who I thought of as a friend. The attraction came after. So thatā€™s why I am working so very hard to let go of this. I did hear what you told me the other night. You donā€™t see the point in dating. Youā€™re not interested in kids or marriage and maybe not even sex or a companionship. I could sit here all day and try to change your mind. I donā€™t want any more kids and my kids donā€™t need another parent. I never want to get married or maybe even live with someone again. Friendship is always going to trump sex for me. But that would be incredibly disrespectful to you and honestly very hurtful to me. I canā€™t change your mind. So I have to try to let this go.
Love, A

2024.05.14 22:07 BasicallyJustAnIdiot 30[M4F] California - You have no idea how attractive I find a woman who can speak her mind and speak a lot...

I realized recently that I kind of use Reddit as a diary. The place to share things that I wouldn't normally be able to and reflect on what I have been through.
So welcome to my mind I guess, and I find someone talkative and animated amazingly attractive. I've had a problem on here recently of people barely talking to me after they reach out, and I have to wonder what the point of online dating is if you barely say a word while the other says everything else.
I'll write 3 full paragraphs and get "Oh okay that's cool" and nothing else.
GIVE ME DETAILS GIRL :D
It's honestly super important to me because on the talkative and extroverted scale I am very high up and basically spend all day just trying to experience new things and talk to people where I can.
I absolutely LIVE for a good conversation and find myself growing stressed and bent out of shape if I find myself isolated. I often annoy or overwhelm quieter, more shy folks so I want someone to match my energy and have the type of relationship where we stay up until 3 in the morning doing absolutely nothing but sharing stories and flirting when you find a real connection.
Everything you have to say to me would be important even the most mundane of stories and you would be my priority.
I wouldn't call myself clingy and I realize you have a life, I don't want to know what you're up to all the time and I won't keep tabs on you. But realize I genuinely care about what you're life is like, and find great joy in spending time with someone and if you can't make time for that then what's the point of being together?
Maybe I just want someone to adore me as much as I adore them. Someone I can build a future with and gives me motivation and happiness.
I don't really have an idea of what you would look like. I don't really have a "type" whereas most men seem to have a list of traits their ideal woman should have like a coffee drink or something. Hair color, eye color, and nationality never mattered to me though I do find shorter women more attractive (I am six feet tall myself). Hopefully you're not old enough to be my mother or so young it would be creepy.
I want to slow down and relax with someone and be stupid together. Go out and explore the world because shared experiences are always so much more special in my memories than ones where I was alone.
I've been working too hard and been too on my own lately so I dare you to make me stop and think for a moment.
I got time I promise.

2024.05.14 22:06 ThrowRA_advice000 (M22) not attracted my angelic girlfriend (F24). what to do?

I (22M) have the perfect girlfriend. (24F) When we met for the first time, there was an instant soul connection that Iā€™ve never experienced with another person. I felt whole, completely at peace, and like I could be truly myself for the first time in my life. It is as if our souls are a one in two bodies.
We recently moved in together after having done long distance for 2 years - and our life here is harmonic and lovely. The differences we have are inconsequential, and I feel, really, that I am in a perfect, rather heavenly relationship.
That is, except for one single factor- Iā€™ve realised that I am not in any way sexually attracted to my soulmate. Her love for me is incredibly romantic, sexual and passionate, but I have realised that I love her ā€“ however deeply and profoundly ā€“ only in the way that I would love my daughter, twin sister or life-long friend. I manage to get ready for intercourse by letting my thoughts wander, but I never want to ā€“ and the actual act always feels very wrong, sometimes it feels like a self-betrayal. I can hardly bare it. I donā€™t need sex to be happy, but I know that she does, and though Iā€™ve long thought that I can work on this - see a therapist or something - I am growing afraid that I may never be able to give her the kind of love that she deserves.
I am not gay or asexual. We are simply incompatible sexually. I do not know what to do. I donā€™t think Iā€™d ever find a relationship as special as this again, but it feels wrong to rob her of the fulfilling sexual life that someone else would be able to give. I am her first boyfriend, and she has expressed that she is terrified that Iā€™ll ever leave. If i did, I would shatter her heart and shock her entire family greatly. I donā€™t even know what I would tell her to explain such a decision ā€“ as this truth would be incredibly hurtful - and nothing else is wrong between us.
Thus.. I ask reddit.
TLDR: I am not sexually attracted to my soulmate, donā€™t know whether to stay or go.

2024.05.14 22:02 liljuniortoro Nanny suspended from care.com - am I being naive?

We hired a nanny about a year ago for our baby, who is now about 18 months old. While we found her on care.com, we didnā€™t actually ā€œhireā€ her through there (just moved straight to contract over email). She was the second person (of 2) we talked to on the phone for screenings and we immediately loved her. She did a home test for a week and aced it, and we hired her. I called her two most recent references and they both gave glowing reviews (one continues to hire her on weekends; the other highlighted some issues theyā€™d had but were able to correct and had actually tried to rehire her but our nanny didnā€™t want to continue working for them). We thought all was great.
Over the course of the year, she has been generally wonderful. She does put her foot in her mouth/make odd comments from time to time, and can get a bit too personal, but those have generally been our only complaints. Weā€™ve spoken to her about this and she has gotten better, but still does slip up from time to time.
A few months ago, I happened to look up her profile on care.com out of curiosity, because she mentioned she still does odd jobs on weekends through there. I noticed she had a bad review (posted a month prior), where the person claimed my nanny ignored all special requests, watched tv too much and didnā€™t interact with the baby, and made inappropriate comments about the husband to the wife directly. When I saw this, I freaked out, but ultimately the only part that sounded true based on our experience with her was making inappropriate comments. I ended up asking her about it, and she said this review was from 8 months prior, she was never told about the special requests, but she did make a comment that the husband looked attractive in his wedding suit when looking at their wedding photos with the wife. I believed her (again based on my own experience) and confirmed she probably shouldnā€™t have said that and to take it as a learning opportunity to be more mindful of not putting her foot in her mouth.
The next day, she was suspended from care.com. My nanny told me this, I wasnā€™t aware myself because I hadnā€™t hired her directly through care.com. The timing was wild, I asked if she did anything (try to reach out to the wife, etc) but she says she didnā€™t. Iā€™m not sure what to believe here.
We decided, based on how great sheā€™s generally been, to move past it. However, a few days ago one of her references (who didnā€™t raise any negatives working with her and told me she still hires her on weekends) texted me and asked if I knew why she was suspended from care.com. I explained the above and that my best guess was this negative review somehow triggered a suspension, and asked her if she ever had negative experiences with our nanny. She mentioned that they actually were ghosting her because the last time my nanny went to help them out, she made inappropriate comments about the referenceā€™s friends and called her son ā€œslowā€ (as in has developmental issues, which he doesnā€™t), and as a result they donā€™t want to work with her again.
So now Iā€™m not sure what to do. Again she seems so great with my baby, weā€™re pretty chill so the foot in mouth comments donā€™t bother us too much, but it seems like several other families have had bad experiences with her and itā€™s making me second guess everything. For example, she did once call my baby slow too, but I immediately corrected it and she hasnā€™t said it since. I hate that she did it, but Iā€™m also prone to saying the wrong thing sometimes, so Iā€™m trying to be understanding. But itā€™s making me so anxious that Iā€™m ignoring red flags, and I canā€™t help but wonder if she was suspended for something else. We never ran an additional background check, so Iā€™m thinking thatā€™s the next step.
Appreciate any advice, thank you!
EDIT: I forgot to mention, about 6 months ago our nanny was so upset because she was kicked out of her friend group, allegedly because of something she was saying to her ex boyfriend via text that one of her friends saw and got upset about, which ultimately ended up with everyone in the group ghosting her. We thought nothing of it at the time (sheā€™s in her 20s and mean girl behavior can happen anywhere) but in light of everything else it makes us question it all

2024.05.14 21:58 Physical_Art_6494 Advice on how to work out if I'm bi or not

I (29f) just got out of my first relationship, we were together for 7 years, I was a late bloomer as I never had any desire for a romantic relationship with a man or women until I met him. At some point around 16/17 I stoped calling myself straight, stopped correcting people when they assumed I was gay, I toyed with the label bi in my head and but because I was scared of relationships and intimacy as a whole I never explored any further. I made my first lesbian friend at 19 and felt an instant attraction to her but she was in a relationship and I was too scared of everything to talk to her about it. I brushed it off as her just being a very flirty person and assumed everyone felt that way. Eventually something clicks and I download tinder, I set it to both guys and girls, im flirting with everyone and anyone but I fall for the first person to ask me on a date. During the 7 years I told him, and some of my friends I think I'm bi, naturally he says I can't be because I've never been with a women but my friends are not surprised. Often throughout the 7 years two of my closest friends would say that if we ever broke up they see me settling down with a girl, I dismiss this because I'm in love and breaking up isn't an option. Fast forward to now I've been diagnosed autistic, my friends are eagerly excited at the prospect of me getting a girlfriend, and I am totally lost as to what I want or where to start in trying to work it out. I've been debating reaching out to my old lesbian friend, because I think understand my thoughts and fears, but we lost touch a few years ago and she is currently quite busy during rugby season.
Sorry this is so long, once I started typing I couldn't stop!

2024.05.14 21:56 Aggravating_Wash5080 How to interpret female attention?

How to interpret female attention?
Hey all, hoping this is the right sub for this question. I'm new to the UK so I'm not too familiar with cultural nuances. But long story short, I'm fairly good looking, fit and well spoken. Every now and then, at public places like bus stops, malls, parks, I occasionally get girls looking straight at me, for an uneasy amount of time. Now I don't know if I should interpret it as a fact that she's interested in me and wants to have a conversation OR just casual attraction. Or I'm reading too much into it and if I approach back, I'll just be a creep. A bit confused as to what they really want .. Thanks u advance

2024.05.14 21:55 LordGreim225 Beginning of the Great Assault (Operation: Rolling Erosion)

Beginning of the Great Assault (Operation: Rolling Erosion)
It had been too long. Far far too long since they had a command meeting.
(Like seriously really sorry this took so long.)
ā€˜The situation had been developing for some time, & for a time Greim had no idea how to recover the situation as it evolved. Now however he had a plan. Not the best or most sophisticated Plan. But they were against the clock & the situation would only get worse if they waited too long.
ā€Ladies & gentleman. It has come to my attention that the High lords will not be sending further support for this campaign for the foreseeable future. With numerous wars against the Tyranids and the Indomitus crusades, we will have to make do with what we have. Whatā€™s more, word has reached the wider Tā€™au Empire of our invasion of the system. We are unsure if they will be dispatching a Fleet and further military support at this time. As such we are against the clock here. If we take this system & bring them to heel at the negotiation table we can ultimately be victorious on the field & let the negotiators and politicians ensure we keep what we take. As such we will review what I have gathered From our situation.
Older situation map.
ā€As far as Iā€™ve gathered we have very little progress in our assaults on the defensive lines of Camburg. We have taken the Sanguine Bridge & made ground toward but not taken the Firekeep. Kaā€™esh Fortress, the Tā€™auā€™s primary military airbase is still operational. Iā€™d have hoped we had taken more ground, but given our situations that occurred itā€™s remarkable we did not lose more ground. With the clock ticking & our pool of manpower no longer going to be increasing or replenished as easily we need to hit the Tā€™auā€™s primary nerve in the Gryllus system before we are too weak to do so in the future. I had hoped further forces from other fronts could aid in this, but we are out of time & would lose ground elsewhere we canā€™t afford to give anymore.ā€
ā€™The dark briefing room of the Strategiums holo map lit up with new icons of their situation.ā€™
Opening maneuvers
ā€œThis plan is not very complicated in its opening moves. We will hit the Tā€™au with sudden overwhelming force wherever we can. They need both these fortresses to maintain the defense of Camburg. Firekeep is situated on one of the only land crossings, & with Kaā€™esh fortresses air bases operational crossing the river with pontoons, or fording with vehicles would be far too costly, as such the Kestrels will cordon & destroy the airbase utterly. It is of Tā€™au design & as such unsalvageable, it is to be utterly razed to the ground. The titans & a Large contingent of Aironautica will provide assistance & heavy fires support. But this is a very well defended target. We believe several Tā€™au super heavies to be present. This mission is their atonement for previous transgressions & to prove their loyalty as good guardsman, if they succeed they will be rewarded. The large support elements is to try & mitigate the losses as much as possible & give them a fair fight. The fortress also hosts a large garrison of Tā€™au auxiliary infantry & conscripts alongside Fire warriors, so be advised. We estimate their strength at 5,000 Fire warriors & 9,000 auxiliaries & conscripts. However the air power is their greatest strength. We will send numerous hydra flak battery squadrons to further assist in this assault.ā€
ā€™He scrolled toward the Firekeep.ā€™
ā€The rest of the army will hit the firekeep in force. This is a major training center for Tā€™au fire warriors & we expect stiff resistance here. They know theyā€™re the last line against us & Camburg itself. Tā€™au infantry & human auxiliaries will be the bulk of their defenses. This was once an imperial installation & its architecture shows.
Example of the Firekeep curtain walls.
While this fortress could theoretically be resanctified & saved, that is no longer a concern. This fortress & its defenders must be silenced & we canā€™t cordon them off like Kaā€™lesh fortress. So its destruction is likely necessary. The Krieg 5th will bombard the fortress as will all available heavy guns not used for the destruction of the Tā€™au airbase. The 5th will use its breaching drills to create passages to breach the curtain walls & storm the outer gates from the inside to open the gates for our forces. Once inside clear the fortress top to bottom, regiments that specialize in this type of environment will take point. If the drills fail we will bombard the fortress till it is rubble & storm it traditionally. The Titans will relocate once the airbase is most in ruin & is unable to be threaten our flanks any longer. Once the airbase is cleared our forces can also ford the rivers & begin moving on Camburg itself.
Phase II of the operation:
The holodisplay projects the capital city of the Tā€™au Empireā€™s government in the Gryllus System
Camburg is a major city, the largest in the system in fact & primary seat of power for the Tā€™au Prelate ruling over this system. It is heavily defended by both Fire Warriors, Human Auxiliaries, Kroot, & even hosts a Demiurg population alongside other client races. This isnā€™t going to be an easy nut to crack. While not a hive city it is still a damn big one. Multiple levels exist in certain districts that go into the earth some nearly a deep as the buildings are tall. Its population estimates vary, but we estimate several tens of millions at minimum. The city is several thousand kilometers in length as well.

She has since been taken for further questioning & is scheduled to be sent to the Penal Colony Agri World in thanks for her cooperation.

Though not numerous, there destructive power is equal & or super-passes any Imperial superheavy & some are even designed to hunt the might god engines if rumors are true.
As stated in a previous debriefing. The Tā€™au Auxiliaries defense corp has taken its toll in this war & its numbers once in the millions of volunteers are now being supplemented by conscripted soldiery. These troopers are given quick rudimentary training & their equipment now shows it. Once wearing full combat suits able to help regulate temperatures & have built in comms. Now these fresh soldiers are given basic fatigues, a chestplate, & a padded kevlar like hood designed to protect them from shrapnel & weather. Their primary weapon a ā€œPulse Defenderā€ is a semi auto Pulse weapon with no stock or advanced scope beyond basic iron sights
ā€˜The intelligence dockets were detailed & more information could be provided if asked but the lord general continued.ā€™
Icons lit up once again like before one the map with new objective markers highlighted in gold for priority & green for non essential or secondary.
ā€œOur assault on Camburg will be absolute & to hammer home our advantage in numbers We still have we will strike with force on the Western half of the city. This is primarily the older settlement from the original human colonists. As such the architecture will primarily be imperial of origin in certain areas. However expect Xeno buildings & designs added as well. If things go well enough attacking the airbase Kestrel & titan forces will join us from the north, though this plav can operate without them. As we approach the city, first blood will go to the Astartes, if they are willing. Any space marine compliments available will attack the Spaceport in a rapid shock assault via however they wish. Anti air is present but I doubt that can stop angels of death for long. Their mission will be to destroy any Tā€™au air assets capable of defense & reduce the spaceport or any ships present to nonfunctional. This will eliminate the threat they can evacuate their leadership before we can reach him. After they have caused enough damage they can withdraw at their discretion.ā€
ā€™He panned over the guards & knight elements.ā€™
ā€We will begin with a bombardment of the outer defenses & target troop staging areas such as Barrackā€™s & Aunā€˜s Reach. This is a civilian rich environment. They will likely try & flee from other gates. Hopefully in the east where they are out of our way & hamper the Tā€™auā€™s movements. Once we have a breach alert all personnel to increase pressure & pour all available units in. Once we are inside the fun part starts. We expect stiff resistance, barricades by conscripts. Murder holes, emplaced Tā€™au turrets & every vehicle & battlesuit they can throw at us alongside infantry. This will be a war of Rats, warrens & destroyed buildings will become fortresses in their own right. My regiment is specialized in shock assault & hive warfare, this will be our element. Many of you I know it will be the same. I will make my headquarters in Alexiaā€˜s Mercy Basilica as itā€™s old, large & sturdy & capable of holding what I need Being close enough to our lines in the north for further resupply. Our greatest challenge will be Aunā€™s Reach. This is the resident of the Tā€™au Prelate Aunā€™Ui Viorā€™Shi, they will do anything to defend him. He is priority one, take him alive, if we do. We could force the entire system wide Tā€™au force to surrender, We expect other Ethereal to be present as well, kill or take them alive if you can. That massive structure is the central nerve of the Tā€™au forces here in the system. Speaking of Ethereal's there is a target of interest regarding that.
ā€™He pointed to objective J.ā€™
ā€This which we have dubbed Seekers Rest, is a facility reserved for a Tā€˜any sub group called Yasu'caor or Seekers in gothic. This seems to be a philosophical concept but its administrative one is something analogous to an Tā€™au equivalent of an Inquisition.ā€œ
ā€˜There was a pause with such connotations.ā€™
ā€Itā€™s members are exclusively of the Ethereal caste & while I suggest you research them with data that can be provided, they will often be accompanied by retinues of varying backgrounds including there client races both of militant & other backgrounds. As such capturing this facility & its occupants would be a valuable asset. If needed Iā€™m willing to provide rewards to the soldiers who bring them in, & no it would be open to units who assisted them as well equally. This mission may require a more subtle hand but Iā€™m open to suggestions.ā€
ā€œThe Tā€™au military commander is one named Stoneguard. There are other forces present alongside fellow Tā€™au military leaders. Stoneguard believes in a patient hunter tactic of his species. He is patient & calculating & usually defensive, a dangerous combination for a defensive commander. Goad him as much as you can but do not fall for easy traps. Draw him in & lure him to situations he canā€™t win either way. We wonā€™t take the city in one swift strike likely. But if we do this, we could cripple its defenses & make the other half much easier to take. I will now open the floor to discussion of tactics & methods for making this a reality.ā€
ā€˜He sat down & let the projection stay.ā€™
(Estimates for enemy forces to be determined. We should outnumber them in most scenarios but they will be dug in more often then not.)

2024.05.14 21:55 Lumpy-Crow-7210 Please remind me its not her Im missing its the idea of what we couldā€™ve had

Ok so my exgirlfriend broke up with me for six months ago. She blindsided me and said she was done with me and that her communication didnā€™t reach me. Neither of us felt in love with each other and I feel more attracted to other girls.
However the situation still made me heartbroken since I felt I didnā€™t get a fair chance to fix my issues and for us to fix it. I was prepared to do so since we have a very nice house, a dog and six years of history together. From her point of view she already tried and sheā€™s done.
Now we still live together from time to time since we still share our house and havenā€™t sold it yet. We still have our dog in common, so any real no contact is hard.
Today I felt really lonely and missed her or rather the idea of what we could have had without the issues. This hurts. Can you please remind me that the feelings are confusing. I feel bad basically for an idea thatā€™s not real.
Please help!
