2024.05.20 02:10 tellerodarkstory I (44m) have an oddly specific fetish

Ok so sorta a throwaway here but I might keep it. I have an oddly specific fetish. I’m a (44m) straight cis manly man you’d never guess but I fantasize about being dickless and focusing my sexuality on getting a female partner off orally or I guess with toys but mostly orally.
I don’t want actually lose it, but hooboy it’s a strong fantasy and i think of a million ways to make it happen. I think most I like a romantic decision we make together to take things to a new and different level. I can orgasm by using a toy on the internal penis body and love having my balls stroked so I could enjoy sex after.
Mentioned it to a couple partners who entertained the play for a little but we’re like meh after a while. Just wanted to get back to vanilla or other kink play.
Curious if I’m doomed to enjoy this mostly alone in my own mind or if it appeals to others.
Thanks for reading!

2024.05.20 02:06 Usual_suspect47 Anyone dealing with bulding disks and nerve compression used fenbendazole?

Just seeking for anedoctals, anyone that used fenbendazole by itself or an addition/ part of their protocol? If so, How It went, you had sides and How It was in terms of pain relief?
I have compression from an immune mediated injury, that affected my nerves roots and peripheral nerves, but being dismissed by doctors in regards of microsurgery of any kind (you probably know how It goes) there is something but they cant see anything at the MRI...
i saw a report the other day (in quora) that a woman suffered in disability due to compressed nerve roots for 5 years, until doing a discogram that finally showed an brusted/leaking disk, she had surgery and suffers no more pain, but she was lucky with the surgery, given that back surgery is a compiicated thing and cant go wrong, and that this exam pin pointed the compressive injury.
im in an extensive protocol looking for improovments, and thinking about doing a course of fenbendazole, here some ot the mechanisms involved , a few of them are targets of New MS drugs
Flubendazole inhibited the activation of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP); suppressed cyclin B1 expression and Bruton tyrosine kinase activation, markers of B cell activation/proliferation and inflammation; and reduced B cell autoimmune response. Together, these results suggest the use of the benzimidazole anthelmintic flubendazole as a potential therapeutic for SCI.

2024.05.20 02:06 gt_goldsby This Chipotle outrage

I want to start by saying that I am all for people rebelling against chipotle right now. This has been a trend going on for years and people have finally hit their breaking point with them. I love it. But why just focus on Chipotle? This trend is happening all over the place in every market with almost every product. We all see it…rising prices for worse (or less) product. Why have we arbitrarily picked Chipotle as the one we rebel against? Let’s take a stand on more products and send a message to these greedy corporations that we have had enough. Let’s not let Chipotle be the only company that feels the heat of this outrage. If we all decide that we will do this together, more people will join because let’s face it, most people won’t join the cause unless they feel that it’s the “cool” thing to do because no one has a brain for themselves any more. If we all speak up and inform the masses, change will happen. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

2024.05.20 02:05 Asleep_Bar_1433 How do I move on safely from a complicated marriage.

Okay, so long story short marriage wasn’t ideal with wife, we made a child together and I love him tremendously, but a few years in she got paranoid about me cheating (and I didn’t) there were just rumors from folks wanting a good story to tell. So she asked to move to apartment and hour or so away from our town, but when she didn’t have to work she’d be back home with the family. To keep peace and to do as she needed, I complied. I wanted my marriage to work regardless, we’ve known each other since we were kids.
So the bright side of this was we get to date each other again which is kinda fun. One weekend she’s working and staying in her apartment, she asked me to drive up and have a date after work. I’m so excited, I shower get all ready plan out how our kid can stay with a grandparent and I go. It’s a really good night, really, so I hope this isn’t too graphic but we had been arguing about adding another child to the family, and I was so happy to be with her well, not to be too graphic but I tried to do it twice and did. I didn’t care if she got the kid she wanted even though I wasn’t excited about it , I was excited that maybe this weird and awful part of my marriage was done .
Cue to a few weeks later, she seems really off, worse than usual and she doesn’t want to be in the apartment at all she’d work 14hr shifts and still drive an hour back home. But I get some exciting news, I get promoted to a new job, I’d be traveling and teaching stuff with my company. And she’s home with us most of the time which is good. The day I was to drive 4 hours to start my new work. She tells me that she’s pregnant.
After our date this didn’t sound odd at all, I wasn’t happy about the second kid but new job and training folks. I left for work.
But things get more and more odd, her first pregnancy she was so happy, just delighted to be carrying my child. 6 months pass by but she felt like I was right our family could not sustain another kid, she mentioned abortion multiple times which was odd. But I was okay with it. But she’d go to the clinics for appointments then tell me that she couldn’t do it and she’d leave the clinic, I told her it was her choice. Anyway, things felt so wrong, I had an intrusive thought. What if it’s not mine?
So I probe, I dig, I naw at it, I couldn’t stop. Finally after a while she told me it may not be. I felt like death, I wanted her to go. I wanted her gone. But then she said it, she was SA one night and didn’t knows what to do. She just said the lock on her apartment broke and there was a party downstairs, she was tired from work, and one of them cat called her on the way up. I’ll spare any more gory details.
This entire event broke me as a person. Up was down, right was left. I cried balling for a whole day over what happened to my wife. But I still needed to know. I paid almost 2 grand to find out who’s kid it was all the while doing my best for her although this broke me. We got the results, it’s not mine. I spend another day weeping. But I had to explain this as I could to my parents. Because the kid woulda been mixed and we are both white.
And we live in a small town, news would spread, and is vehement that she doesn’t want folks to know she was SA’d, and before anyone chimes in with “lol naw brah” go fuck yourself, you didn’t see the fear in her eyes when she told me. She had a more successive career she coulda just left with someone else.
Anyway kid is born, and my dad told me it doesn’t matter, you love her that’s your baby, so I do that. As far as he knows I’m his only father. He’s still pretty young. But this whole ordeal broke me. I started to drink a lot. Eventually and yeah this is too long. She asked for another full separation. But still wants sex but I can date and fuck other girls I do.
But I stopped having sex with her six months ago and am ready to move on , when I’ve tried to do this before it gets ugly af, threatens to take away the kids etc, but I met someone I really like and am ready to move along. How can I do that without her going ballistic on me?

2024.05.20 02:05 Unable_Vermicelli33 Am I an asshole if I can’t go back to monogamy?

(Me- 33F, partner-30M, Sam-34M)
Sorry for the long one:
Maybe I am the asshole. Monogamy provides a lot of security and clarity, I get it.
My partner of 6 years and I decided to enter the world of open relationships really early days. We were in a long distance situation so it made sense to us at the time. At that time I quite by accident fell in love with someone else but had no clue that was allowed or could be ok so I “made a choice” (I still think about this person and it’s been 6 years). When we made a plan to move to New Zealand (my partner’s home) together, we closed the relationship back down. Upon arrival to NZ I was quite smitten with a woman I worked with, and we ended up having a threesome with her. She and I were quite lovey dovey and enjoyed kissing each other in private but my partner expressed jealousy of not wanting us to do anything unless we all were present, so we respected that.
About a year passed and I ended up discovering that back when I thought we closed our relationship down, my partner hadn’t. He had continued seeing and sleeping with someone while he lived in the UK (and I was in the States). He continued this relationship to the point that after he visited me in the states for a month prior to our joint move to NZ, he actually flew out first and had a layover in the UK on his way to NZ and slept with her one final time then. So when I moved to his home, little did I know I wasn’t the last person he had been with.
This is a now 5 year old point of hurt in our relationship. Trust seemingly destroyed UNTIL… I came across a red table talk episode on polyamory. I realized how beautiful the set up seemed to me and that I could rewire my hurt to no longer view my partner as evil for wanting someone else, but just realizing it is hard in our society to express these human desires and so he immaturely took liberties. But, maybe polyamory was our way to BOTH get liberties, without the distrust, dishonesty and hurt. Or maybe I toxicly forgave him?
I presented the episode to him and he seemed curious too. We got bumble as a couple and had a few group sex experiences. We quickly learned though that we didn’t always enjoy the same things or same kinds of people. So we moved the goal posts to solo play with LOTS of rules. But that wasn’t sustainable either because the human beings involved were throwing pretty understandable curve balls at us that our rules didn’t fully accomodate. So we moved the posts again to 4 core rules around our home/bed, sexual health, etc.
From there, I feel like I REALLY came alive. I realized the autonomy and not having to carry every ounce of my partner’s insecurities with me into new interactions was incredibly fulfilling to be able to fully lean into a connection honestly. And it was then that I confirmed what had already taken place- I am capable of loving more than one person. While our core rules were meant to protect the fact that my partner was who I am doing life with, it didn’t seem right to me to force shallow connection with those on the periphery. I told my partner this realization though I didn’t have anyone I was in love with. I just wanted to make him aware I was capable of it and deep connection was what I got the most out of in polyamory, over purely sexual encounters. He was noticeably uncomfy but we kept the hard conversations going and kept finding a way forward in polyamory.
Now we flash to about 9 months ago. I met someone we’ll call Sam. Sam and I slept together after two meets and it was (and continues to this day to be) the best sex of my life. Not just compared to my partner, but to everyone who has ever touched me. He makes me feel like I haven’t ever really had sex (and I’ve been with probably 50-something people). On top of that, though he’s never been in a poly situation, he gives 110% to me. Consistently. He’s somehow so committed and mature and secure to just ride the wave as respectfully as possible. He’s always saying he’s rooting for me and my partner, but he’s also fully mine and I’m fully his somehow. My partner and Sam met and we all ended up sleeping together and it was a really weird experience for me to feel like Sam was “home” and my partner felt like he had a dark energy.
In the last two years or so I’ve been let into the fact that my partner was actually sexually abused by his older brother for many years growing up. He of course carries massive trauma from this and has really large fear of abandonment issues. Since meeting Sam it’s like he’s been squeezing the soap. He tells me I’m pulling away but I feel pushed away and exhausted by constantly reassuring him and his need to control outcomes for his comfort and security because he’s wanting to be top ranked in every area by me. We have had our issues in the past obviously and though I find him handsome and love him, I don’t have that wild animalistic raw attraction to his naked body. So at times our sex life goes dormant. He also had quite an intense NEED for sex through learning self worth in the act from a very young age and it’s a different energy than I’ve felt in other partners. It’s given me a lot of anxiety around our sex life do sometimes I shy from it or freeze in the act and cannot continue.
I love Sam. I can’t easily picture leaving my partner either.
We have a house we have renovated together and a dog we are both obsessed with and six years under our belt as best friends and partners.
I like polyamory. But now my partner only wants to try and work on things with me if we are exclusive, otherwise he has said we should probably end it. i have told sam and he has said it makes sense to work on the 6 year long relationship, though he doesn't like having to say it. I'm so sad about maybe having to risk ending a love that i haven't chosen to end so that my partner can feel secure in himself and idk what version of me he will get after i feel im left with no choice but to do that.
There have been plenty of toxic moments and emotional manipulation on both sides for me and my partner. Are we too far gone? is it fair for me to be asked to park my other relationship now i know poly suits me, even when im offering other ways to make my partner feel more poured into and focused on by me, and we havent tried that yet?
Really lost in limbo at the moment. We are living in the same house, crying and slinging shit every night and sleeping in separate beds but also really missing each other and wanting cuddles.
We got engaged over a year ago but we have pulled the pressure of all of that off the table. Idk if long term we are sustainable or if I’m as attracted to him as he needs me to be. But I can’t seem to pull the pin on it all. Nor can I take the leap and confidently dump Sam.
Would love any and all thoughts. And please ask questions.

2024.05.20 02:04 renganomics An argument for suicide

I cant feel pain if i dont exist. I would much rather have never been born but beggars cant be choosers so i might as well make do with the next best alternative. I have existed for 21 years, i have no prospects, no close confidants aside from the one person whose heart i broke and in turn broke mine, and no sense of direction or motivation. I made a choice i thought would protect her from pain and disappointment, and ended up causing so much pain and disappointment she could no longer bear the idea of being with me. She could no longer see a future for us. We had spent so long discussing possible futures, destinations, careers, even fucking pets, and in one moment i ruined that reality, or possibly rather revealed its unreality. If she couldnt accept me at my worst, most shameful state, did she deserve to see me at my most proud? If there is a God he, she, or whatever fucking pronouns they use are a cruel manipulator on a cosmic scale. 1.5 years may be a blip in the eyes of some master creator but im barely 2 decades old and this shit has been a massive fucking chunk of my life so far. I know theres other people, i know the key to happiness is working on myself, but why should i even fucking bother when all i want is to devote my life to her? Some find solace in religion, praising and worshipping whatever deity some guy thousands of years ago pulled out of their fucking ass and maybe that brings them peace. I wish it did for me. I wish i was able to keep believing that some guy in the sky created an entire race of sentient beings out of fucking dirt and then somehow had a son with one of these dirt gremlins for the sole purpose of this son dying ‘for the sake of our sins’. I wish so badly this made sense to me. Maybe then i could direct all my energy to that and find purpose in it. But i dont. And i cant. It just makes no sense to me. Id rather put my energy and soul into someone i can perceive, after all perception is the only confirmation of our reality. I cant see some sky daddy up in the clouds, but i can see her. I worshipped her, i praised her. If there was a God it took shape in her. They say he made us in his image but the only proof of that i can see is corrupt, selfish, and altogether destructive to itself and the world he supposedly created for it to foster. If we are the image of God then he is a vile, ugly, sadistic being. I remember learning in school about tragedies, and their main defining trait is that they revolve around the downfall of the protagonist due to a flaw of their own they were unable or unwilling to overcome. Humanity is a fucking tragedy. The only animal cursed with the knowledge that we are slowly decaying. What kind of existence is that? Im supposed to find purpose knowing im just a sack of atoms with an unknown expiry date? How do i live knowing everything and everyone around me will not only cease to exist at a certain point, but if our mess of a species manages to make it into any sort of distant future, most of us arent even likely to be remembered? I hate sentience, i hate existence, and i hate pain. I hate the way my heart aches when i see her. I cant seem to escape this prison of affection she has me in. i hate that i let myself be so vulnerable and then hurt her so badly she can no longer be vulnerable with me. I worked so fucking hard to earn her trust. It was a fucking grueling experience. And i would do it all again if given the chance. The looks of mistrust turning to a deep reliance, as i slowly peeled away the layers to her soul. She used to describe her trust as eggs she was putting in my basket, and the day she said i had all her eggs might have been the most loved i ever felt in my life. 2 weeks ago she told me i broke one of her eggs, and she had to take them back now to protect them. I dont think ive ever felt so much pain and remorse as i did in that moment. Not only for hurting the person i cared about most, but because i have to live with the fact that that unreality we had built together would stay that way, and it was all on me. I hurt her, and i hurt myself. I know theres probably someone out there with more shared interests, with more quippy one-liners, possibly someone im even more attracted to physically. But i just dont fucking care. What point is there in chasing that when it could all get fucked like this? I cant do this again. I wont do this again. Its too much. I think i might be done. One of these days i might finally get the fucking balls to do it. ive been so scared for so long. The afterlife, my family and friends, her. But fuck it. My parents see me as the problem child, and they wouldnt even be fucking wrong. My siblings barely know me and i barely know them. Visiting home is like a hotel where im constantly reminded of how much of a failure i am and all the ways everyone around me is better. And im genuinely not even jealous. I could care less about any of my cousin’s lifestyles, or my sisters much better academic performance and artistic skill, or my brother’s athletic prowess. I really am happy for them, they all deserve it and more given the work theyve put in. The only thing i give a shit about is the fact that i get treated less because of these things. I just want to be able to live my life without being put down for choices that im happy with. I just want genuine fucking support, and when i fail to not have it shoved in my fucking face as if i dont already feel like enough of a shit sack. I dont need a 6 figure salary i need a fucking support system. A small but significant part of me holds a deep resentment for my parents for actively choosing to bring me existence. When i get the fucking chance i might just have to take that existence into my own hands and strangle it away, but for now im too much of a fucking pussy to try. I dont even know how id do it. I want it short and painless, almost instant if possible. I dont want any chance of survival in the form of life support, so maybe looking into a dnr would be useful but i dont even know where to start with that. Ive heard of a trick with the car exhaust, but i dont own a car and i dont want anyone finding my dead body in their vehicle. I just want an easy death, life has been hard enough. I feel like im tipping over the edge

2024.05.20 02:04 drvmanizales Dog is suddenly attacking kitten unprovoked

I have a 13 year old female Chihuahua I’ve had her whole life and recently ended up semi-rescuing a kitten in December. He is now 7 months old and we already got through the hurdle of introducing them and they become friends. At times, he bothers her because he likes to play (swatting her gently when she walks by) and she’ll let him know to leave her alone if she doesn’t want to be bothered, but previously they would chase each other around and play together. All of a sudden she has been extremely mean to him this past week or so. He’s been keeping to himself but for whatever reason I have witnessed her randomly lunge at him and attack. She has never bitten him and she stops once I yell at her but it’s super worrisome regardless and I’ve had to try and keep them away from each other and distract them on separate corners of the house with activities. She’ll leave him alone most of the time, I don’t have to keep them behind closed doors separately right now.
I’ve tried to enrich their environments more and give them more activities to see if they’ll mostly rest/nap and not be interested in fighting. Of course the issue is mainly my dog though. I’ve been giving her more activities like stuffing toys and puzzles with treats for her to find and taking her on longer walks but I literally just came from a long walk with her and she attacked the cat shortly after.
How do I train her out of it? They were perfectly fine for months and even played together but now she’s attacking him out of nowhere while he’s not even paying her any attention :(

2024.05.20 02:03 DoctorLabRat What's your ideal party composition?

Tagged for Act 3 spoilers in case anyone mentions Minsc and Boo, favorite storyline endings that contribute to your choice, etc.
I always wind up with Shadowheart, Karlach, and Astarion.
No matter how much I want to bring Gale along for wizardry action, or tell myself I'll recruit Minthara and sub her in for Karlach in Act 2, or take Lae'zel instead of Shadowheart to see the opposite viewpoint...those three just seem to fit together and work so well.
From a mechanical standpoint, I've got a tanky damage dealer, a burst damage and utility character for traps and locks and such, and caster with access to some clutch spells and a bag full of scrolls to make up for what she doesn't know; it lets me play just about any role I want without feeling like I'm missing something.
And from a roleplay standpoint, Astarion is snarky and hilarious and pushes for some more "evil" options, Karlach is hilarious and plays the angel to his devil (ha), and Shadowheart splits the difference while adding great banter of her own and lots of lore/environmental interactions.
So who's in your favorite party comp, the people you always seem to wind up taking unless you're deliberately avoiding them?

2024.05.20 02:01 Hodgkins_Fun_Alt what if there was a really dumb guy who spent all day pooping himself and playing with his own poop

what if there was a dumb guy
and the dumb guy was really, really profoundly dumb
what if he was so dumb he spent all day every day all his life pooping himself and playing with his poop
what if he spent so long pooping himself and playing with the poop that he pooped
so very very long pooping himself and then playing with the poop that he accumulated that magic malcolm gladwell 10,000 hours, and then still way even more hours than that, under his belt, of self pooping experience
and in the course of playing with his own poop the dumb guy learned to make intricate and baroquely ornamental poop sculptures from the poop
like some kind of a poop savant
and sometimes the dumb guy tries to show the poop sculptures to people because they're so beautiful and ornate
but everyone runs away. because no matter how exquisitely formed all of the poop is it is just too disgustingly smelly
but one day someone with with a little curiosity and a strong stomach strays a tad closer to the dumb guy than most do
and that someone is perceptive and sensitive enough to notice that there may just be something special here about these poop sculptures, that the dumb guy may well have something to give, if only his poop didn't stink so bad
so the someone takes a deep breath, puts a clothes peg on their nose, and says Yes i would love to look at your poop sculptures tell me all about them
and the dumb guy is overjoyed beyond words. he is swept away with ecstasy at his undreamt fortune. a non-dumb person who doesn't play with their own poop wants to talk to him and be his friend and be interested in the poop sculpting together
the someone, in their turn, is graduallly captivated and charmed at the dumb poop guy's endless passion and enthusiasm and willingness to share it. they even think things to themselves "i wish i loved anything as much as this dumb guy loves playing with his own poop"
but the peg stays on their nose, of course
the someone also knows the pain the dumb pooping guy feels from his isolation. the someone thinks it isn't fair. the someone wants to fix it. the someone wants to help.
so the someone goes to the art supply store (they cannot take their dumb friend there, obviously) and at their own expense they purchase a smorgasbord of workable material: polymer clay, beeswax, silicone resin, salt dough and more, in all the colors of the rainbow
and with extremely tactful and diplomatic grace, they carefully broach the possibility of the dumb guy exploring different mediums to display his sculpture skills in
specifically, odorless ones
well, the dumb guy is intrigued. he is a bit confuzzled about why exactly anyone would want to make sculptures out of anything aside from one's own poop; but the someone is his best friend now, and if it makes the someone happy for some reason he's right on board
the dumb guy launches himself into his new task with gusto. it's heavy going at first, and there are some false starts; the consistency of the odorless clay is not quite the same as that of his poop, and he can't quite make it do the same things. compared with his poop sculptures, the new pieces are honestly quite mediocre.
but the someone tells him they're wonderful and he should be proud of them. over and over. and even in his profound regardation he can tell something is changing with them. he doesn't know why, but the more time he spends on making the bland and indifferent clay sculptures, and the less time he spends masterpieces out of poop, the happier they seem and the more time they want to spend together
one day, the someone even takes the peg off of their nose. by now, the dumb guy barely smells of poop at all
they come up with a suggestion: it's time to open the doors and introduce the world to the newly clean guy, whom in the absence of any poop stink it is questionable to even call dumb anymore. an grand exhibition, open to one and all, of the plain old guy's normal-smelling masterpieces in various plastic media
it's a little scary but it's exciting too. the guy is so grateful to the someone for helping him and putting the time in when no one else would. that long standing ache in his heart is almost gone. privately, he has absolutely no idea why the someone thinks his new stuff is so incredible; but he still wants to show his friend, and the world in general, gratitude and beauty by making the best pieces he ever can
so while the someone is busy with all the invitations and arrangements, the guy plans a suite of last minute adjustments and reornamentations so his gallery will be as stunning as it can possibly be
and he gets down to it
yes he gets down to it
on the day of the grand exhibition, a crowd has formed outside the grand hall. there is an anticipatory hubbub in the air. the someone proudly cuts the ribbon and throws open the doors
and their noses are powerfully assaulted by a tidal wave of stench. the stench of pure poop.
all of the mediocre and uninspired clay sculptures have been transformed into rancidly putrid masterpieces, by the addition of intricated and delicately sculpted layers of the dumb guy's poop. poop is his best medium, and the public deserves better than mere clay
in the middle of it all is he, squatposed, smeared even more deeply with poop and being more gross and dumb than he ever was before
in that moment the someone's heart breaks and shatters into one krillion seventy eight kajillion brillion tiny little bits. and with no words, no words at all, not even the cries of horror and disgust emanating from the rest of the crowd, they leave and run far far away and never come near the dumb guy ever again
and the dumb guy doesn't understand. he has no idea what he did wrong. no matter how much he thinks, it just doesn't occur to him that poop smells bad and people don't like it
because he is too dumb
grieving the loss of this deep friendship is an extremely painful and lonely process for him but he manages to make it and bounce back, by the sole means of - you guessed it - pooping and playing with his poop and making even more wonderfully accomplished poop sculptures
after all, the only possible reason everyone ran away from the exhibition must be that his poop sculpting skills weren't up to par. that's gotta be it. gotta spend more time poopsculpting. poopsculpting, poop grinding for the rest of his life. one day he'll make it. one day it'll all go right. just gotta keep pooping.
so yeah what if all of that happened

2024.05.20 02:00 ThrowRA881144 My boyfriend, M28, and I, F25, have been together for a year now. Would it be reasonable to stay with him or take a break from our relationship as he is reevaluating his view of relationships in general?

My boyfriend, M28, and I, F25, have been dating for a year now. TLDR, currently he is going through some rough times and doesn’t know if he wants to be in a relationship at all. Would it be reasonable to give him some space or stay with him?
For context, we were really good friends for a long time before we started dating. about two years ago year, he developed feelings for me first, but I didn't reciprocate at the time due to my commitment issues. I told him I needed time to figure things out, and he said he’d wait for me. A few months later, I decided to give it a shot, and he turned out to be the most romantic and caring man I've ever known. The first few months of our relationship were amazing.
However, at the end of last year, something happened in his family that made him question his entire worldview and idea of relationships. (His parents’ marriage wasn't as happy as he thought.) Since then, his attitude towards me has changed drastically. It's like a light switch flipped. He’s no longer enthusiastic about spending time together and has expressed a desire to avoid people altogether and just "hibernate."
We’ve had several conversations about it, and he admitted he’s unsure if he wants to be in a relationship at all and doesn't know how he feels about us anymore. He asked for some time to think about it, and it's been a few months since then. Every time we meet, it hurts to see how differently he looks at me now. I don’t feel the love and care that was once there; it feels like we’re just good friends again.
I told him I’d wait for him like he waited for me, but our situations don’t feel the same. I don’t know what to do now. I think I should give him space and take a break from our relationship. But at the same time I feel like I should stay by his side until he figures out what he wants. I love him very much and want to do what’s best for both of us but I don’t know what that is.

2024.05.20 02:00 TotallyFearl Partner of 12 years told me he has another Child

I 28/F have been with my partner 28/M for 12 going on 13 years. He’s my only REAL relationship experience as we got together when we were 15/16. I came from a very troubled household so in a lot of ways he has been my savior growing up. However in 2021 things started to get difficult, I put it on myself because both of my parents had passed away that year and I was in a very dark place. I started drinking a lot and stopped taking of myself (taking my medications) and I ended up pregnant. I knew I was very emotional and going through some things so I tried my hardest not to be clingy but he just stopped caring, I remember begging him to not to leave me in the house big,pregnant and depressed but it never worked. After we had the baby, I found out that he was distant cause he had cheated and once again I made excuse cause I knew my pregnancy was difficult, and I was very sick as well as grieving, I just felt like I wasn’t a good partner so I attempted to forgive(really I was so alone, just lost all the family I had and the one I built with the man I loved was crumbling before my eyes, I just wanted things to stay the same) . So fast forward a year and things are still rocky. We argued 2 months ago and he let me know that he has another child (basically he has been cheating the whole 12 years and has decided that he knows he wants us now) I tried to explain how that’s such a big betrayal of trust, and literally broke my heart but somehow I was told that I was being selfish and him having a baby just out in the world doesn’t effect me. Now he has involved family who are telling me I’m being selfish for wanting to leave. ( I should mention that at the start of 2021 we moved across country and I do not have any friends or family at all) maybe I am being selfish but it’s impossible to believe he could love me. Now it feels like he’s begging me to check back in to the relationship but I can’t look at him without being disgusted. Am I wrong for planning to leave?
—————-
TLDR After 12 years with my partner he told me he had a child sometime during our relationship but that’s all. Now he’s calling me selfish because I told him it changes everything.

Theories on Theories: Assessing the Potential Magnitude of the May 17th Prospectus Filings, Part II, Is the Reverse Uno is Upon Us?

Edit: Of course I fucked up the title. Lol. Is the Reverse Uno Upon Us?*
Hello again, Apes.
I have gotten a solid 4 hours of sleep and am ready to keep plugging along.
Disclaimer: Nothing of which I discuss is financial advice and not indicative of what you should do with your money or investments. Make your own decisions. I have no idea what I am talking about.
Link to Part I of my little write-up, recommended that you read that first: https://www.reddit.com/Superstonk/comments/1cvo4hw/theories_on_theories_assessing_the_potential/
TL;DR for Part I: After 3+ years of working in near silence, Gamestop has dropped a reverse uno time-bomb nuke on shorts, and I don't believe we have fully comprehended just how big and effective of a nuke it will be. They finally released their plans to end the abusive short-selling once and for all... I believe the details in the filings have the answers. Need more eyes. We just need to HODL and let RC & Team work their magic. This was precisely timed and will be executed precisely. I believe they are about to throw the whole kitchen sink at em. Shorts r truly fuk. To be continued.
TL;DR for Part II: Although you should really read through this to get super jacked...Predicition: Gamestop will lay down the reverse uno... the company will protect its shareholders through a slew of new, private, non-dilutive security offerings that we get first dibs on, and that are backed by our current/future holdings. Cash/non-cash dividends from the proceeds of the sale of those securities (units) are on the table. Thus, forcing shorts to either pay or close. MOASS is inevitable.
Many Apes have stepped up to begin analyzing these filings. Thank you! The goal with my analysis is to continue to educate Apes on what all this jargon means, shine more light on the specificities of the filings and to speculate (for fun) as to what I think Gamestop is going to do based on the specificities. In the first part, I discussed Book Entry Securities issued via the DTC (the stock we all know and love), Preferred Stock (the juicy and scare new stock on the block), and the mysterious "Preferred Stock Depositary" (PSD) and its proposed role in the issuance and management of Gamestop's preferred stock to Apes worldwide, keeping it away from abusive short sellers and directly in the hands of Apes.
In my first part, I speculated that the unnamed PSD would likely be computershare. But the more I think about it, the more I am unsure of that. And maybe that is why it is unnamed as of yet. Many Apes from different parts of the world have been unable to DRS, so that means they have been unable to access/use Computershare to hold/manage their shares and the DTC shit the bed one too many times when they committed international securities fraud on the splividend. So, I am thinking its possible that Gamestop secures another entity with more accessibility worldwide, or perhaps is even in the process of creating their own depositary for their newly-issued securities (dare I say, units?), to manage their "Global Securities" (a term they use in the filings).

Tory vs. Tary

Chat GPT: In the context of stocks, both “depository” and “depositary” refer to entities that hold securities, but they serve different functions:

A Depository is a facility or an institution that holds securities (like stocks and bonds) and assists in the trading and settlement of these securities¹ ². It serves as a custodian of securities, enabling secure storage and efficient settlement¹. For example, the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and the Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL) are two major depositories in India.
A Depositary*, on the other hand, is an entity,* often a bank*, that issues depositary receipts*³. American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) are examples of such receipts. These receipts represent a specific number of shares in a foreign company and are traded on domestic stock exchanges³. The depositary bank holds the shares of the foreign company and issues receipts against these shares³.

In summary, while both depositories and depositaries play crucial roles in the securities market, a depository is involved in the safekeeping and trading of securities, whereas a depositary issues receipts that represent shares in foreign companies, facilitating international trading for investors ³ ¹ ².
It seems there is more to come here as to what exact role the depositary will serve. Notice the phrasing \"series of securities that differ from the terms described here\"
Tinfoil: We have seen some evidence of and speculated that Gamestop is looking more and more like they are positioning themselves to not only be dominant in retail gaming, but also serve as a holding company, potentially even serving as their own "bank". Could a brand new, currently unknown arm of Gamestop BE the unnamed depositary??? Warren Icahn anyone?
https://preview.redd.it/j1dmqz31lg1d1.jpg?width=748&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d8ff6dbd7a37307413c79f9527508194a509031
If so, what role would Computershare then play? This was speculated long ago and I am thinking these filings are just a peek inside the inner workings of such an entity.

Subscriptions, Warrants, and Units

Sounds a lot like "series of securities that differ from the terms described here", doesn't it? I left off with a couple teasers and I look to close the tinfoil loop on those here.
GPT:
Stock subscriptions and warrants are both financial instruments related to the stock market, but they serve different purposes:

In summary, while both stock subscriptions and warrants give investors the right to purchase shares, stock subscriptions are typically offered to existing shareholders at a discounted price to prevent dilution of ownership, whereas warrants are long-term instruments that are often issued to sweeten the deal when other securities are being sold ³ ² ¹.

Here's where I use a whole roll of Reynolds Heavy Duty Tin Foil:

Sooo, in Part I, I offer the notion that Gamestop isn't going to just do one or two of these proposed offerings, they are going to do them all and they're telling us how. What I am gathering so far is Apes/holders/longs will get a chance to suck up the (45M, but up to 1B) book-securities shares faster and cheaper than you can possibly imagine through the simultaneous issuance/use of Warrants and Subscription Contracts. These investment vehicles will be issued to all record holders in "Units". And there's a lot of juice to squeeze outta this IMO.
Notice here, mention of \"unit agent\" and again in the bulletpoints, they mention \"a bank or trust company\" that governs the \"units\". I'm thinking they will likely be the same entity that manages it all.
Gamestop's TL;DR on units: We can issue any number of combinations of two or more of the aforementioned securities/vehicles (Warrants Subscriptions, Common Stock, Preferred Stock) which we call "Units". They may be transferable as a single security that holds multiple securities within it. Our unit Agent (a designated trust or bank). AND, the units might not even be listed on any securities exchange. (Privately held, hard to trade, hard to access, hard to fuck with UNITS of securities?)
So, hypothetically, all shareholders of record on a given record date determined by a supplemental filing will get FIRST DIBS to purchase en masse, a lot of Gamestop stock, perhaps cheaper than ever before. The warrants give us the opportunity to buy at a pre-determined price, the subscriptions contracts give us the chance to not dilute our value in our holdings. Gamestop is literally going to nearly GIVE us a shitload more stock, privately, securely, and through a private, exclusive offering.
And here's where it gets even more juicy...I think they're gonna do it DFV style...in reverse order, relative to the order of each type of offering listed in their filing.

Protect Ya Neck, Shorts! There's gonna a rush to grab GME stock!

The Plan
See if you can follow me here...in order...

BOOK ENTRY SECURITIES: Gamestop gives holders the exclusive rights and first dibs to purchase a shitload more Class A Common stock through new "Units". The units house the subscription contracts, warrants, and underlying stock. But there's only 45,000,000 more slated to be offered (so far). They give us the OPTION to purchase more later on until a certain date. The subscriptions give apes the opportunity to prevent dilution of their positions through scooping up the new stock before anyone else can. The Warrants allow us to add more at a given price (buying at a fixed price on the way up anyone?) This raises a TON of capital (potentially billions) for the company.
SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS AND UNITS: Apes jump at the opportunity to scoop up more class A shares and this allows them the opportunity to then "purchase" a greater number of fractionalized preferred stock (depositary shares) than they could have before (with only 5,000,000 whole shares available). All preferred stocks (whether whole or fractional) are backed by the chosen depositary's receipts (the official ledger, NOT managed by the corrupt DTC). AND GIVEN ALL PREFERRED STOCK IS BACKED BY THE GLOBAL SECURITIES (GME Class A Common Stock)...THIS ALLOWS INTERNATIONAL APES AND ALL APES WHO COULD NOT/CANNOT DRS TO ESSENTIALLY HAVE THEIR STOCK DIRECTLY REGISTERED THROUGH THE COMPANY ITSELF. Unfuckwithable!
The preferred stocks (somehow) become part of the Units where all securities are held with the Unit agent (the depositary). Proceeds from the preferred stock sales go toward the company capital, to be used for general company purposes. What are those, you might ask?

Gamestop states that, while they could, there are currently no plans to acquire other companies or make any specific investments. Until they do have those plans, they want to invest the net proceeds from the offering in interest-bearing securites or accounts.
I'm sitting here thinking...what if, as a "thank you" to loyal shareholders, they invest it back into shareholder accounts through an immediate cash dividend? Why would you want to leave if you're getting sick divvies on all your newly acquired stock (common and/or preferred)? You just spent $ buying preferred stock, why not delight investors by giving some right back? Awh but that would be expensive for the company! Nope. It would be expensive for the SHORTS who are responsible for paying that dividend!
https://preview.redd.it/a4on4059ug1d1.jpg?width=225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21617ee7dff5ddb3e2a4046e481a47dbb464bddb
GPT: When you short a stock, you’re borrowing shares from someone else (typically your brokerage firm) and selling them on the open market¹ ². The person or entity from whom you borrowed the shares still technically owns them. If the company issues a dividend during this time, the original owner of the shares is entitled to that dividend¹ ².
However, since their shares have been sold to a third party (by you, the short-seller), you are responsible for making the dividend payment to the original owner¹ ². This means that if you have a short position on a stock when it goes ex-dividend (the date by which you need to own the stock to receive the dividend), you will owe the amount of the dividend to the lender of the shares ¹ ².
So, in summary, if you’re short a stock and that stock pays a dividend, you’ll be responsible for paying that dividend to the person or entity from whom you borrowed the shares¹ ². This is an important consideration to keep in mind when deciding to short a stock, especially one that pays dividends.
So, let's say the shorts are still regarded af...and they have the $ to pay the dividend(s), cool. What if FME issues multiple or even monthly dividends? (There are currently 80 stocks that issue monthly dividends) Well, one, they can only pay for this for so long on top of the collateral and capital required to maintain their short position... Then, boom goes the dynamite. And if THAT doesn't work, gamestop could just choose to issue a non-cash dividend...which they outline below...
Wombo Combo?
Gamestop's ELI5: In the event that we issue a non-cash dividend, the PSD (depositary) will distribute the PROPERTY received by it TO the record holders of the depositary (preferred) shares entitled there to, IN PROPORTION to the number of depositiary shares owned by those holders. UNESS...the PSD determines that it somehow cannot be done...THEN the PSD may take that PROPERTY...and sell it publically or privately, and then the proceeds from that public/private sale will go directly to holder of the preferred stock.
Tinfoil? They're gonna try and issue/distribute the Wu-Tang Album or some other non-fungible property via a non-cash dividend. If that can't be done for whatever reason, they will sell the album/property at auction...all proceeds go back to preferred stock holders. No matter what, holders of the preferred stock win.
My last bit of tinfoil sounds crazy but, again, in part I, I spoke about filings saying the stock can be issued permanently, or even temporarily.
Gamestop sucks back up a ton of their class A common stock through buy backs. They may already be beginning to do that while the price is cheap, eventually leaving only a small amount of shares, or even just preferred stock available, privately held in the names holders. Non-diluted, scarcem valuable, and unable to be fucked with. GME becomes its own bank. Shareholders get the protection they deserve. MOASS happens through one of many ways...
I understand this is NOT proof that they are buying back...just speculation.
Once Gamestop has the shorts off their back finally, and the capital they want/need...they then go about what they really want to continue to GROW the company...mergers/acquisitions?
Also, some other Apes have said that its possible the Gamestop is offering the shorts a way out. And while personally do not think this is fair or likely, I think its possible and would not surprise me. But what if Apes/longs suck up all the shares at these offerings before shorts even get a chance? Then they're still fucked. Still needed our shares and they're now EVEN HARDER to get.

No matter what, I AM JACKED. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT IT ENDS UP LOOKING LIKE.
Apes together Strong.
TL;DR: Although you should really read through this to get super jacked...Predicition: Gamestop will lay down the reverse uno... the company will protect its shareholders through a slew of new, private, non-dilutive security offerings that we get first dibs on, and that are backed by our current/future holdings. Cash/non-cash dividends from the proceeds of the sale of those securities (units) are on the table. Thus, forcing shorts to either pay or close. MOASS is inevitable.

2024.05.20 01:58 Bubbly_Object_9982 How do you guys do this?

I’m from the U.S. and I’ve been dating my girlfriend that’s from the Philippines for about 6 months now. We met online last year around July. We’ve been talking everyday since then and I even went over to her country to see her. Spending time with her there and her showing me the country was amazing! I even loved the food and much of the iconic views. My question is, how do you guys deal with your everyday life after having to go back home from visiting your partner? The feeling that I’m feeling is so depressing that I miss her everyday and I can’t do anything about it. Just this weekend I stayed in bed and just slept. Didn’t eat much, but I did eat somewhat and have water. She recently got a new job and hasn’t been as communicative or interactive as she was before. We use to FaceTime and talk endlessly for hours and even gamed and watch shows together. Now it’s like that person I met before is gone. I understand that there are certain responsibilities in her life that she needs to take care of just like I need to do, but I’m craving to see her again soon. I want to towards the end of the year, but she insists I wait till next year and quite honestly, idk where we will be at by next year. We’ve talked about marriage and bringing her over here and all of that. I’m at the age where I don’t want to start over again and she’s the same way. We’re both on the same page, but even on the weekends, she’s always tired and has to do lots of things for her family. Usually around that time we would talk a lot more but now we don’t. I don’t want to lose her whatsoever. I’m scared that eventually her work and life will catch up to her to where she won’t be able to have time for a relationship. I’m sorry for the rant, but idk how to cope with these feelings of sadness and depression. I’ll also mention we both make the effort to be as communicate as possible, but even with that, I’m scared she’ll want to end it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

2024.05.20 01:57 LocalBonVivant I asked ChatGPT how my partner and I could use WOW strategies to conquer chores better

1. Coordinated Crowd Control

WOW Context: In 2v2 PvP, players use crowd control (CC) abilities like stuns, fears, and polymorphs to disable their opponents, allowing their partner to focus on dealing damage or healing without interruption. Effective communication and timing are crucial.
Chore Application: Think of chores as opponents that need to be managed with precision. One of you can "CC" (handle) time-consuming tasks (e.g., cooking or deep cleaning), effectively keeping them under control, while the other focuses on "dealing damage" to smaller, quicker chores (e.g., tidying up, dusting). Communicate and time your efforts to prevent feeling overwhelmed, making sure no chores are left unattended for too long.

2. Defensive Cooldowns and Burst Windows

WOW Context: In 2v2 PvP, players use defensive cooldowns to mitigate incoming damage and survive until they can go on the offensive during burst windows, where they use powerful abilities to quickly bring down their opponents.
Chore Application: Approach chores by alternating between "defensive cooldowns" and "burst windows." During your "defensive cooldowns," focus on maintaining order and handling routine tasks to prevent things from piling up. Then, have planned "burst windows" where you both tackle intensive tasks together with full effort, such as spring cleaning or organizing a cluttered room. This keeps chores manageable and prevents burnout.

3. Peeling and Support

WOW Context: In 2v2 PvP, one player often "peels" enemies off their partner by using abilities to divert or hinder opponents, allowing their partner to recover or reposition. This support role ensures the team's longevity in the fight.
Chore Application: Apply peeling and support tactics to chores by having one partner take on tasks that relieve pressure from the other. For example, if one of you is handling a particularly challenging chore (like cleaning the bathroom), the other can "peel" by managing multiple smaller tasks (like taking out the trash, doing the dishes) to keep the overall workload balanced. This mutual support helps maintain a steady progress without overwhelming either person.

Using these 2v2 PvP strategies can make handling chores feel more like a team effort and less like an overwhelming solo battle.

2024.05.20 01:56 Previous_Towel_5232 29M pretty confused by end of situationship (with F25). Thoughts?

I downloaded Tinder when I moved in the Nordics. In January I matched with this girl. We chatted for a few weeks and we went out two times in February. I wasn't sure at first if I felt attraction, but I really liked her as a person, we discovered we had some past shared traumas that got us closer and I felt I was incredibly at ease with her, as it rarely happens with people I barely know (I am extremely introverted and she didn't believe I was). Both times we stayed together for 7-8 hours and time flew. We didn't talk about our feelings but we agreed on the fact that we had good vibes. Most of all, I innately felt I could trust her. Then I went to my home country, but we stayed in contact. When I came back she texted me that she wanted to clarify that she had decided she had no romantic intentions but it was nothing personal. She had cancelled Tinder and she just wanted to stay single. I told her that if she meant a long-term relationship I wasn't so sure as well and I just wanted to see how things went without pressure.
We met in March, and while we were talking about wine she interrupted me to make a call. Later, she said that she had talked with her best friend "who obviously knew about me". She added that they had both broken up with their boyfriends in summer, and they had felt terribly. Now her friend was hanging out with a single father in his 30s (so I presumed it was quite a serious thing), and since they had been talking for months of going to some wine tasting event she wanted to tell her that they could finally organise that as a double date. I accepted, but I was a little bit taken aback given her previous message. This made me wonder that maybe there were some expectations, and, since I still wasn't sure about my feelings and I knew what kind of frailties she could have, I went into overthinking mode. I wanted to balance my words and, when in doubt, be on the safe side without promising things lightly. I realise this made me seem cold sometimes. When she asked me if I was interested in sharing an apartment (we both live on our own) in the capital (she wants to move there and I often have to commute there) independently from an eventual romantic relationship, I was quite firm in my no. After 8 hours, she asked me if it was time to have sex, but she wanted to discuss if it really made sense and to uncover our intentions. I said that I liked her but the last thing I wanted was to hurt someone so I didn't want to take commitments. I was maybe realising I was growing feelings for her but I didn't say that. She then decided we needed a solemn deal: if the sexual/romantic vibe was not good this would have not been cause of bitterness between us, we had acknowledged that we liked each other as people so much and this had to stay. I agreed and we went to her place.
There we kissed, then she went to her neighbours to ask for tobacco. When she was back she told me that she was sorry but she had decided she didn't feel like it, but it was 5 am and I could stay. She got out of the bathroom naked apart from a tiny slip, and we went to bed. I turned my back on her trying to think about something else and sleep, but she laughed and told me "Well, we can still have some cuddles". One thing leads to another and while we didn't have proper sex we definitely had more than some cuddles. I remember that at a certain time she said "Oh no, this is definitely not going to end well", and the anguish in her voice freaked me out.
The day after, she texted me "I really enjoyed it but I have this persisting feeling that we would be better as friends", she insisted a lot that it wasn't sugarcoating but she was really convinced that we would have been great friends and we both knew that. I asked her to talk about it the next time in person and she agreed. Two days later she texted me that she was just going to a bar for a couple of hours before a meeting, that she was such in a good mood and asked me to join her (this spontaneity from a Scandinavian sounded super weird to me). I couldn’t join her on time and I still regret that. Then I left the town again, but we kept in contact. This was also when I realised that I was missing her and the feelings I had where a little bit deeper than what I had thought at first. At my return, I noticed that something had changed, but she attributed this to her Master's thesis' deadline. A few more days and she ghosted me, then she texted me a week later "sorry, I was busy. But I should also tell you that I have entered a relationship :) :) :)". I replied that I was sure there was something behind her silence and she didn't feel the need to explain further. She didn't owe me anything, but I expected some better communication, especially with all her worries about the possibility to ruin our personal relationship. After ten days with no communications, I texted her that I was a little disappointed 'cause I thought we had a deal. She asked me "what deal?" and I replied "what? were you drunk that night?" (she wasn’t) and she told me "Indeed I was. In fact I don't remember what happened. And honestly I don't want to know" (which was the thing that hurt me the most). I asked her if she had considered that people have feelings and she told she was going to terminate the conversation and she blocked me on WhatsApp.
That's how it ended. Her relationship hurt me, but it was her choice and I certainly couldn't contest that (I regret a lot that I should have been quicker in grasping and communicating my feelings). But the way she handled the thing felt like a treason in human terms to me and made me wonder if everything else she said was false as well. Thoughts? (I’d like to know if the replies come from men or women, sometimes perspectives are different).

2024.05.20 01:56 ausername- 34[M4F] USA/Online - Internet hermit looking for love.

Hey. As you can probably gather from the title, I don't really get out much. I tend to spend most of the hours of my day in front of my PC screen. I play video games, watch youtube videos, sometimes I take a good nap or two. It's a pretty relaxed life, but it gets lonely sometimes, too.
I'd like to meet someone I could talk to throughout the day. Someone who would want to text for hours, talk on discord for hours, maybe someone who would like to game together, too? I'd love to watch movies and shows together and listen to music together as well.
I can be a little clingy, which I know isn't for everyone, but I'd ideally like to meet someone who can maybe match that energy. I deeply want to be special to someone, I want someone who is excited to have me as a part of their life and who shows it by eagerly talking to me every day. I really struggle with partners who only want to talk once in a while. If we go multiple days without talking, it makes me feel like there's got to be something wrong. I know that's not everyone's dynamic, but it's the one that works best for me.
I'd describe myself as kind, caring and very sweet. I'm very affectionate and would like someone who is as well. I struggle when my partner doesn't reciprocate my affections, so I'm really hoping I can meet someone who aligns with me on that.
Anyway, I'm not really sure what else to put here, so I'll wrap it up here. I hope to talk to you soon! :)

2024.05.20 01:55 NovulentSoul End of the Beginning

Lately I've been really ontiplatiting the control over my life during these times of meaningless bullshi. For the past 2 years I've been drowning my self in alcohol, weed and any else I've gotten my hands on. It's sucks to truly admit I'm addicted to substances even when I've gained to the courage to not do them. Currently I'm in a relationship with my girl "Ash". I love her dearly even if I don't show it much, but the truth is I care enough to not reveal who I can be. Maybe I'm just scared of myself or what's to come. Anyways to summarize this all I'm battling depression and my biggest opponent is myself right now. Perhaps I've always been my biggest opponent....
My request to the world is to continue playing my songs and share my content (JemustonXII) Would've never imagined myself expressing my last messages through reddit, but to each his own in this tormented reality. I'd suggest to people between the ages of 14-25 plz consider yourself more than worthy I'm sorry if life is kicking your ass just like mine, but the truth of the matter is no one is willing to save you enough more than you are willing to. In this Lifetime my submission of thought concludes pain, anger and loneliness. At the moment I feel "empty as fuck". Even when individuals notice I'm not okaii they normalize my sarcasm and exaggerated speech. They take it and chew the flavorful "Cry for Help" only to spit it out somewhere unwanted. I carry my days wondering how much more will this last and how much more can I endure this everlasting suffering on this planet. In the past 8 months I've gained much weight. Just last summer I was 180lbs, but now I'm a staggering 270lbs+. It doesn't feel very good since I lost all this weight in 2019 yet it's back just like my fears.
Initially beginning my message/goodbye for when this repurposes I just wanted to be loved by people. It's getting harder to breathe and stranger to talk with people I know much more than myself. I miss my mom. My childhood and my happiness.
Ya know after everything it might not be so bad to exist honestly but the sucky part is you have to live through bullshi you witness.
Before I input my S**cide note I first want to make sure I clear the air... Me myself I have lived a very blessed life being adopted by my aunt (Mom) mistreated in a foster home and surviving hatred from former family. Truly I have thrived very greatly. Anyways.....
First and foremost Mom, Te amo mucho y perdoname por no ser un poquito mas fuerte en estas vida. Quisiera gosar un rato mas perro me tengo que ir para lo que me espera en eternidad. Cuidadate y siempre te voy amar. Eres lo major que me has pasado!
Sister (Sol) I never hated you to be exact , but you made it very much uncomfortable to be around you at any given point especially when favor / money is involved. Its hard to forgive myself for letting you degrade me as a person time after time especially your son Raymond, but the most important part is we are both human in this world. I cherished every moment you've given me and our family especially Mom. More than anything Mom deserves your attention and kind, caring, optimistic, and unconditional love. To say you are a bad person is very much refutable. Anyways take care of the kids and my Mother.
Brothers:
I love you all and thank you Bebo for attending all my sports games and events even when my dad didnt.
Beba and Chary: I adore you both down to my core. I'm truly sorry we were split at my birth, but if anything made it worth it, it would be my existence and being able to enjoy my our first time together as me being an adult in Puerto Rico. Couldn't have asked for anymore truly ... Luv my nephews and nieces
Dad: I'm the end we didn't agree on everything but watching horror movies with you made my world much more visual to my audience. The gore in all the films define my consciousness. Regardless you couldn't be there at much as I would have liked you to but what ever was provide I cherish. I love you pops and always will!! Mom is proud of you Dude for real!!
Friends:
If we ever had a disagreement just know my thoughts process hasn't changed from the moment we argued. SadbxiiSantos man I love you dude as a brother. Thank you for all the moments and making me feel like I ever had an actual friend in real life. We've gone through a lot for dark roads yet in the end created light for each others existences. You were and still are the most outgoing person I've ever met dude. Props to your charisma and basketball skills. Remember when we were going to perform that one song on stage lol can't forget ever.

Twins #Sadbxii4life

Ash: Waddlezz I have always loved you and respected you as a person even when extreme ties had led us to believe other wise in this relationship. I'm glad our bonding had reinforced and corrupted pillar in our structure. Crazy how quickly love and move if your stuck in it. Thx for meeting my mother and I'm Honored to meet your mother and grandmother as well. It means the universe that all 3 ladies always got along so well and even seeing your moments when you have cried for family inpacted me to not feel so lonely on this dust ball. May death do us part until we meet again..
To all my audience and fanbase, ECT : This is not the end of my come up! This is simply a "I'll see you soon". Don't have very much to share at this point in time while I feel very overwhelmed by emotional intake. These past couples I have been able to sleep or I oversleep to much. I get this eerie sensation of other worldy presence calling me out of the game. As if I've been on a bench my whole life. Truly idk where life ends after this but the begining is to come after we all sleep!!
Thank you to all my supporters Thank you to all my peers Thank you to all my Teachers Thank you God for this glorious life🙏
I didn't complete my goals in full or even accomplished 1/3 of my life's worth of problems hutbyey at least I made it to the final oeriod of this sentence folks...... See you soon
(FYI: this thread is made in preparation of this day)
~Jem
