I don't have an answer for the question you posed, but I wonder if your nervous system would read your mother's distress at that age and as you grew older. If she was fearful of him and you caught ont…
Does anyone else feel like this fixation on "trauma dumping" stinks of toxic positivity? — It literally feels like the onus is on people with really challenging life experiences, to hold that all inside and only talk about good things, for fear of burdening people who have objectively bette…
How do I cope with a constant fear of dying?? — And I mean constant, as in “every few minutes I’m thinking ‘what if I drop dead in two minutes??” For some reason, I’ve started thinking of my intrusive thoughts as “premonitions,” and my mind is insi…
Crazy experience “timeline hopper” — I’ve been lucid dreaming since I was about 12/13, and I’m now 23. I trained myself into it years ago and now I lucid dream every morning which sometimes can be annoying because it affects my sleep. I’…
Free Claude artifact: 90+ daily leadership lessons from 20+ books! — Hey everyone, I’ve had an ongoing reading list sitting since at least 2020 that I kept adding to and honestly kept forgetting what I’d already read. I got through about 75% of them but realized I wasn…
Chronic illness — Did anyone have that strong urge to commit suicide with chronic illness? It's not as prevalent now But the level of vitriol from society in combination to lack of health and resources really put me …
How do I (F25) talk to my boyfriend (M28) of 3 months about his toe fungus? — so we've been dating for a few months now and we showered together for the first time and I saw he had fungus on every toenail on his left foot. I usually go silent when I'm uncomfortable so I didn't …
We've been on a couple of dates with this girl and there's a strong connection, both physical and intellectual. On a second date we went to her place and had some chat on a couch when I noticed she ha…
Lollll I would've been like "omg are your toenails and feet ok" because I have no chill JK but that would give me major pause. Best case scenario she knows and is currently treating it? Worst case sc…
On moving in together while being Covid-cautious: **TL;DR:** I am high-risk and I mask up, partner generally does not. Thinking about the possibility of moving in together. He'd be someone least like…
This seems like a lot of anxiety and chaos for a FWB. If you know - a lot of other people at the company do. Just be careful. You don’t want to end up in HR and poor judgment is contagious.
People getting flu cov flu k strain which is a combination of both of them together I know a couple people who who went to the hospital being in the hospital for a couple weeks and I've had it for lik…
It is insane… we are being shamed because we don’t want an incurable contagious disease with unpredictable severity and frequency. I’m so sick of this mentality and the energy wasted trying to convinc…
Love this response--I've always been a "simple things" person, too, to the point I sometimes remind myself the sky's the limit and do that. But day to day, I Iook around and realize "it is done" is ab…
Thanks for the advice on how you would get it done in Neville's way. There's an assumption in what you wrote that the car, the SUV, fills with gas, rather than diesel. I'm looking now at whether you'r…
Chlamydia is pretty prevalent in your age category, and +-90% of the cases go by unnoticed. It's easy to catch and miss if you ever had unprotected sex and it can linger on for years not giving sympto…
*You get chlamydia, you take antibiotics, it dies and you no longer are contagious. You hump happily and dont pass chlamydia to your partners.* That’s how it goes dude… So, if everyone who had chlam…
I have very rich and very generous friends. I live in a city of millionaires and have a huge apartment located in an excellent area. I know wealth and the freedom of having money very well because, a…
First currently in the UK you can only get it privately and the vaccine wouldn't give full protection for a few weeks, most people over 18 should be pretty much up to date with vaccines. Luckily men…
That some people would avoid me like the plague after they hear I am going through a divorce. I mean, even just the ones I have working relationship with. Hey, this thing is not contagious and your fa…
He was really nice, an amazing man! but He had issues with boundaries and handled conflict in a frustrating way besides financial anxiety that has become contagious, so I felt the relationship wasn’t …
Well said. Virus' work like this: Someone close to you get's sick and exposes you to illness and then you get sick. There isn't anything wrong with you, if anything your husband isn't practicing sa…
I have a similar complaint, only the opposite … my husband tends to get sick the second I’m just starting to feel better, so then I need to be on kid-duty before I have time to get better since he’s n…
I don't even think her immune system is necessarily less efficient than his! She spends most of the time with a toddler germ factory. She's probably not even catching it from her husband, but from the…
When I almost died from pneumonia… It was before Christmas and I had been sick for a while, he kept throwing cold medicine at me but I wasn’t getting any better. I kept telling him something was wron…
Tell him when he gets sick, he needs to quarantine away from you until he is no longer sick/contagious. And to man up: this is part of being a parent.
One Piece and the smells on a ship full of SWEATY men is rough 🤡 I'm ranting about this because I cant do it enough... I'm not part of the main cast, I'm from the WB pirates and there are some par…
no one is tapping out. i think its irresponsible to pick up a little one if you yourself are contagious
Getting a haircut is not the same as an elective plastic surgery. Spending your money on something so shallow, rather than therapy for your insecurities, is a pretty big incompatibility for many peo…
EDIT: I am really, genuinely, overwhelmingly happy that I was able to relieve and help many of you. I don't mind replying to DM's!! I just don't check reddit so often so I might see it a few days late…
Postpartum is (for some) far worse than pregnancy. Your mother hates her children and will ruin this most fragile period for you any way she can. She may even try to fuck with your bonding period. Or…
I’m sorry. you are so young and have plenty of time to find someone who deserves you. Yes he cheated. Chlamydia is highly contagious and in the big picture of your life this will not be a big deal fo…
yk what no 7 figure earner will marry poor POVERTY IS CONTAGIOUS
I was thinking about exactly this today; does anybody want to make a small support group. No names or personal info but we express our goals for the year, co-regulate and hold each other accountable. …
#3 - Mom always thought I was faking sick, and let’s be real here, I was a kid so of course there were a few times I was. But it’s a shame when you’re actually happy you had something a doctor or the …
I dated someone like this in college it was hoooorrrible like it just evolved into this mutually self destructive pit of despair. His insecurity was contagious and I eventually caught it, too. I tried…
Wow OP, yours is a cautionary tale. I'm sure there are those who have had success, but you won't find those stories here. I do think your story is more typical of what you can expect. I'm sure at the…
Re the acne. Years ago, My ex mil rubbed her face with makeup all over our newborn and caused her to break out and it did look like acne. My pediatrician called it impetigo and it was treated with…
Is this a joke? Are you debating telling someone you have a virus that can potentially impact them for the rest of their life? You are a terrible person for putting your own sexual needs above someo…
Absolutely, very contagious. Take dose of lysine, when you feel a "tingke" in your lip. Recommended dosage online or your pcp can tell you. Easily preventable, rest and eat well. Your immune system…
90% of people in a life time get the virus. Also majority are asymptomatic so to me not a big deal. And by letting things unfold naturally I mean I will see what he says and respond accordingly. Im no…
Go ahead and actually read the post. I said I’m going to tell him. Also you most likely have it if your husband has it. Sometimes without the cold sore it’s still contagious but go off queen. Oh and…
Call it outrage or whatever you want, but it does seem you’re in the minority on this. It’s crappy to knowingly pass on a contagious disease to someone when it can so easily be avoided.
I get cold sores, not him, and I’ve set the kissing rules to protect him. Casually mentioning you’ve been treating it to someone who isn’t aware how long cold sores are contagious for doesn’t count as…
Not that contagious, 5-10% chance of passing it to him. As said in the post I telling him and he can make his own decision is that not respect? Thanks for the advice!
That sucks it is never okay to not be told. But I will say majority of people get it in their life and sometimes it is contagious without having a cold sore. I also am going to tell him and he can dec…
Thank you. Idk where she got this stat from. I have HSV1 also but it’s veryyyy contagious when you have a sore, especially before the blisters pop.
The only way I think it might be okay is if he already gets them and KNOWS that for sure. If he’s never had one, tell him you don’t want him to get one too so you’ll save kissing for when you’re bette…
You have no idea what his response would be. I would expect questions and would inform him of the risks. He is not likely to get it, why does everyone think it’s so contagious! It’s 5-10% chance. I wo…
State your source on that. If you google it, it simply says HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS. And if you’re downplaying it, and he trusts you.. will you let him eat you out?
The right thing to do is not kiss him. Just wait until it's gone. Even if he has the virus do you think he wants to get a cold sore? I mean, would you? He will get one either way. They are painfu…
Best thing is to just not be evil yourself imo. Operate without ego and reacquaint yourself with your own. Child like wonder and you'll be surprised how contagious it is.
UTI is not contagious so you got lucky stay away Fran that craziness
Long toenails gross me out so much. I agree that he’s not showing any effort toward eradicating it. If you had seen him be meticulous with his nail care and careful about treatments, I’d cut him some …
It’s not really that contagious. My partner had it when we first met. I didn’t catch it off him despite zero precautions. I told him they needed sorting and sent him to the GP to take a course of Terb…
If you like him maybe just try honesty. To have a happy marriage you have to be able to talk to your person about EVERYTHING. I’d start with “your toe nail fungus is freaking me out because it’s real…
