Wife (26F) scheduled cosmetic procedures we agreed we wouldn’t do before marriage, using money from our joint account. I’m (28M) struggling with the trust breach.

Just commenting for anyone who might be reading this and thinking about getting "preventative" botox: PREVENTATIVE BOTOX IS NOT A THING. When you paralyse your facial muscles they will atrophy, meani…

My mother fell. She is MALNOURISHED.

My mother fell. She is MALNOURISHED. — She always tells me about how she ate a can of peas for dinner. This is like in 2016 when my mother fell in the garage. And my father was quickly going to pin it on me, but it was clearly visible tha…

Herpes

Is he on medication? That will really reduce the risk of passing it to you, although not eliminate it entirely. How does he know he would 'feel it' if he's only had one outbreak? You can have active v…

I (28F) gave my boyfriend (29M) an STD and I can’t stop feeling so ashamed and guilty

In my state, it’s no longer a requirement in schools and that’s not my job position. Hence why the increase in syphilis and teen pregnancy in my state. I literally work in the lab. However as someone …

Herpes

Hi is there anything a negative person can take as a preventative?

Opened up to my wife about how I feel about our relationship and she just said "That's your problem" - am I crazy?

Couples therapy was a waste of money tbh but it also showed me what my partner was incapable of. I signed us up because I was about to have a preventative open myomectomy and I was having a lot of fe…

My (19f) boyfriend (19m) keeps telling me I’m at high risk of diabetes. How do I address this?

Nurse here! Your boyfriend is an idiot. I've had EXTREMELY overweight patients with terrible habits that have never been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It is rare that someone under the age of 45 …

Having a pet and dating someone who uses Rogaine

As a guy fighting AGA, the best methods are preventative. If he has his hair still, the better drug to use would be finasteride, not minoxidil (stops hair damage vs trying to regrow what was lost). Th…

Wife (26F) scheduled cosmetic procedures we agreed we wouldn’t do before marriage, using money from our joint account. I’m (28M) struggling with the trust breach.

A conversation 4 years ago pre-pregnancy is hard to put too much stock in. Is she feeling less confident after pregnancy? Is she spending a lot of time on social media where these procedures are highl…

Wife (26F) scheduled cosmetic procedures we agreed we wouldn’t do before marriage, using money from our joint account. I’m (28M) struggling with the trust breach.

I agree, it blew my mind when I heard about it. They literally called it “microdosing botox” and are saying it’s preventative for aging. Lord. I’m 41 and have never even put highlights in my hair, …

As a Master Esthetician for 19 years, preventative Botox and fillers are the biggest scam going. You’re causing muscle atrophy, and compensatory muscles in the face to work in unnatural ways creating …

Women who had a glow up

I definitely went through the glow up with divorce, lost 20lbs (I'm a shortie so that's a lot for my frame), nails done, hair done. I enjoy all the girlie parts of being a woman so all that is pretty …

was anyone else sexualized by almost everyone around them from a young age?

oh, what really bothers me is that this is actually way more common than research shows, and we're not allowed to just make this information available to young teens in compassionate formats so we can…

Why does it take years to realize you’re traumatized? And why does "standard" therapy often miss the point?

For me, it finally clicked when I suffered a serious head injury in my mid 40’s and developed post concussion syndrome that manifested as constant debilitating migraine. One of the first drugs they ga…

Are you a fighter, flighter, freezer, or fawner?

It depends on the situation. Where are the exits, what is the nature of the threat (real or imagined), if it's a person what is my relationship with them. In the moment it seems random but it's calc…

UPDATE: I (32m) found out my partner (32f) cheated on me while she was away on holiday. She doesn’t know that I know. How do I navigate this?

I commented on your initial post. Make sure (Immediately) that your accounts are separated and that she cannot access all or part of joint funds in joint accounts. If you have any joint account remo…

I (31M) am currently in a sexless marriage with my wife (33F). Wwyd?

Honestly dude, this isn't the sort of situation to ask Reddit for advice about, you need a professional in your corner. Get marriage counselling ASAP. Open the conversation up with your partner …

Why am i so embarrassed to ask for therapy?

I think it’s because people usually go to a doctor when something is wrong with them instead of seeing it as preventative maintenance.  I get it. I probably need therapy too.

Is disagreement on circumcision reason to breakup with my (28F) boyfriend (28M)?

And I said that the tetanus vaccine is completely unnecessary. It is **preventative healthcare.** Circumcision fits into that category whether you like it or not. There are health benefits. We can arg…

what’s a weird thing you guys do bcuz of neglect?

Standard dating after divorce?

I actually think the way you approach it is insane and incredibly reckless. First, condoms are neither wholly preventative towards STIs nor pregnancy. Second, it's a big risk to your body taking the a…

How can I stop being angry all the time?

Thank you for your response! But I'm sorry, could you please explain "preventative things?" Do you mean like trying to keep a calm outlook at the start of the day?
