Reply to TIFU by lying about me being colorblind 9 years ago. by HelpMeTHrowaway12243

Gotta disappear for three weeks, show back up with swollen eyes and claim you had surgery to “correct your color blindness” and wear shades everywhere for another two weeks for your eyes to “heal”. If you’ve managed to fool them about being color blind, they’ll believe you had reversal color blind surgery.

Edit: Spelling

Reply to TIFU by getting so drunk I shit in my bedroom by Remarkable_Camera832

That sucks, but it sounds like drinking to excess is not the norm for you, and you took full responsibility and cleaned it up yourself once you were cognizant.

I agree this is a fuckup, and you might have to buy some apology flowers and new bench (I doubt your wife will ever sit on it again lol), but overall this seems like a relatively minor blip. No big yellow or red relationship flags on either side, congrats on such a healthy relationship!

Now drink some water, buy some bleach, and then go back to sleep lol

Reply to TIFU by writing a racist text by Karpfen10

You are entitled to your opinion, and as a gay man I wish our society was more open to hearing the opinions of others without judgement (on any topic, including this one). I believe it’s better for people to have uncomfortable conversations with mutual respect rather than adopting an “us vs. them” mentality.

That being said, I encourage you to ask yourself why seeing people wearing pride flags makes you so angry. Generally, I find that when someone else’s behavior angers me, it’s usually because they are reminding me of something I don’t like within myself. It’s a projection. We are all mirrors for each other. I am not one of those people who think all people with homophobic thoughts are gay, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m just encouraging you to ask yourself what specifically is bothering you about them. Perhaps there’s a part of you that is jealous of the confidence. Or perhaps what you seem to be perceiving as an annoying need for validation from these people is triggering memories of your own needs not being met as a kid. And so on. IDK. These are just the types of questions I ask myself when someone else’s behavior bothers me.

And I’m not saying your viewpoint has no validity at all. Sometimes I feel like the LGBT movement has turned into a parody of what it once was, and there’s a lot of judgement within the community as well. But I understand the history of oppression of LGBT people which led to the movement, and how our deteriorating ability as a society to try to find common ground has led to both LGBT supporters and opponents to dig in their heels.

The fact that you posted this shows that you’re trying to understand yourself and your actions in the context of the situation, and whether there is room to improve. Honestly I don’t think the teacher is being helpful by threatening to essentially punish or shame whoever wrote the thing. You should feel safe to speak your mind, and you should also be open to new perspectives.

The wire usually soften overtime and get wrapped up around the cervix (the gaps around it) so they usually stay out of the way. Hubby could feel mine poking at him for the first few months until they settled.

Honestly I am female and knew nothing about these until I got one. They tell you basic stuff in sex ed but most info was around the pill and condoms.
