Both of mine are boys :)

Things I never imagined I'd say to my children, who are now in their early twenties, when they were little boys: "Don't open any boxes that come from Amazon this week, unless you really want to know what sex toys I ordered." I also never expected to have conversations with them about how the USA...

I am so, so sorry! <hugs> You and Tails will be in my thoughts.

I had a pap smear that came back positive for HPV and had possible precancerous cells. I had to get the test you're getting done (I can never remember the name). I had my pap at my primary care provider and he doesn't do the follow up test, so I just called the nearest ob gyn clinic to me and...

I hope I didn’t come across as judgmental when I posted the information I did about self-compassion. I wanted to give you a viewpoint that I know I hadn't thought of or heard of until my therapist introduced me to it. I don't think there's anything wrong with loving the way that feels authentic...

Oh, god, how much I understand the desire to have someone be there who says that I'm safe, that they are there for me, that I'm their girl and having that desire butt up against not wanting to seem too needy and not wanting to be vulnerable. It's been the hardest part for me to deal with in...

Since mine turned out to not be precancerous, I'm not sure what it means now that it is lasered off. My guess, but you should confirm it with your doctor and Isaac's if possible, is that they'll keep an eye on the area (I'm not sure at what intervals, I know i have to get a pap smear every year...

I had to pay for part of my HPV series (it depended on how my doctor billed it), but his recommendation was for me to get the shot series done, even though I was in my late 30s, since I have multiple partners, since it might help and certainly couldn't hurt. I had an abnormal pap smear at the...

I've dated my OSO on and off for the last seven years. Up until last year, we were FWB when we dated. I even ghosted at one point on him because I didn't really feel like he cared that much, I had a new boyfriend who was really excited about me, and I had limited time and wanted to be with the...

When I took Wellbutrin years ago, it had the effect of making it so I couldn't climax, which pretty much killed my sex drive. My doctor questioned whether I was sure it was Wellbutrin, because usually it ups people's sex drive. Since it was literally the only medicine I had been put on newly in...

Yeah, I wish that knowing why I react this way made it easier to change my emotions/reactions also. I make sure and tell my partner when I react to something he does in a way that has very little to do with anything he's done and everything to do with my past relationship or my marriage that it...

I so understand the fear of saying the words "I love you" to a partner. My OSO and I have dated, on and off, for the last 7 years (about 2 years in the beginning, a 2 or 3 year break, and about 2 years this time, with it going from FWB to a more emotionally entangled D/s relationship last...

Really, your whole post reads as one red flag after another to me. The chasing you around the house, trying to make you talk to him, turning everything around so it somehow is all your fault, the lies, both to you and your metamore - it all points to a possible cycle of abuse to me. Even him...

This whole post is a perfect example of what was talked about briefly on another thread, when someone said that normally they'd have been happy to have someone give you a tongue lashing (I can't remember exactly how it was phrased). Almost every post you make contains some sort of sarcastic...

I have two thoughts on this, if I were to give my husband and one of his girlfriends an anniversary present. My very first thought was that I would stick to a gift that gives them an experience, like dinner or concert tickets. I don't think I'd do a weekend getaway for them, but that's mostly...

My therapist suggested that instead of working on self-esteem (which I've always thought was a bunch of feel good nothingness, ever since I was introduced to the whole concept in a special class in 4th grade), that I work on my self-compassion. He recommended this website and the website...

<hugs> It seems like there's quite a few of us on the board who have fibromyalgia. I do and I know KC43 does and I seem to remember reading it mentioned by one or two other people also. I've been living with fibromyalgia for 18 years, have managed to live a fairly normal life for most of that...

The reason we returned our Chromecast and got a Roku box (not a stick) is because my husband hated the controls for the Chromecast on the phone and the only laptops we had at the time were slow. We got the most expensive Roku box, because we thought it would interface through our network with...

I'm glad you called a manager at the clinic and let him know what happened. Good luck with the appointment tomorrow!

I have a therapist I saw for a few years in my twenties and who I started seeing again the year I turned 40. In between those two times of seeing him, I changed my life a lot! I left the Mormon church (along with my husband and two kids) and we opened up our marriage after 17 years of monogamy...
