That's a big yikes, but I notice a lot of algorithms do stuff like this. If i watch a video on atheism then I get hardcore Christian evangelical commercials for weeks, if I watch something GRSM I get homophobic right winger propaganda. In theory I like the idea of being presented with the otherside of an argument but when it telling you how you're wrong for being the way you are it crosses the line. September 21, 2020 at 11:50PM

I more identify as Pan than Bi September 21, 2020 at 11:50PM

It's nice to be understood :) I'm really looking forward to talking to my friend about it, I've never gushed over them openly before and I really want to September 21, 2020 at 11:50PM

Not aphobia. That book is clearly intended for straight couples. September 21, 2020 at 11:49PM

I understand romantic microlabels (I think i wasn't clear in the post), but what about other labels, like cupiosexual or aphotisexual? They exist for the same reason? September 21, 2020 at 11:48PM

Biromantic asexuals: "Error brain can't compute". September 21, 2020 at 11:48PM

I see what you're saying and I agree, I thought you meant not calling them out on r/aretheasexualsok . But yeah it definitely brings me down to see that shit pop up here all the time. September 21, 2020 at 11:46PM

Most sexual relationships are doomed to begin with. The author really did not think this through because it implies that you have a obligation to fuck everyone you share a emotional connection with. It is also completely untrue to say “there is a lack of intimacy” because there is a lot of hugging and playful touching in friend relationships. September 21, 2020 at 11:45PM

Oh it's very hard and I get that. Really there are only two reasons I took the plunge; she kept saying a specific thing and I promised myself next time she said it I would tell her, and I kept reading about all these people who had success telling their crush. It didn't completely ruin anything for me, in fact I'm glad I did it no matter the outcome. But I definitely understand your feelings towards not wanting to tell your two people. And talking to a friend about it is a great idea! I was apart of a support net for a friend with a crush and I'm currently talking to that same friend about this. Talking about it really does help. And I'm glad you have someone to discuss it with. Yes! I've never liked the idea of dating it feels awkward and forced. But just hanging out with someone and getting to know them sounds so much better. But just like you said that's what dating is. I often wish I could skip the dating part and just jump to the happily ever after p...

Because we aren't all the same. All aces have different definitions of what they are and aren't attracted to. For example I like men , women and nb people romantically but nobody sexually therefore I am biromantic asexual. Somebody else might have no attraction romantically or sexually therefore they are ace/aro. Both of these people are asexual. September 21, 2020 at 11:44PM

I think it's just the algorithym trying to asociate things. It isn't really amazon's fault. September 21, 2020 at 11:42PM

I'm not sure if I'm an aego (is that the correct term? Please correct me if I'm wrong) though, because although hearing about other people's sexual experiences doesn't make me feel uncomfortable, it still doesn't turn me on. Also porn literally disgusts me and I would never intentionally watch it. September 21, 2020 at 11:35PM

Oh haha September 21, 2020 at 11:35PM

Thank you! It did help, I’ll definitely look into aromanticism and asexuality more September 21, 2020 at 11:32PM

lots of casual bi erasure in their comments And there it is!! I was just waiting for the mask to slip! Exclusionists pretend to care about „every part of the LGBT acronym uwu“ but they always, ALWAYS turn out to be biphobic. That‘s how they were four years ago on tumblr and that‘s how they are now. September 21, 2020 at 11:30PM

Haha, I'm glad that so many people can relate! September 21, 2020 at 11:28PM

Same! Luckily it doesn't happen to me very often but whenever it does I feel so disgusted, objectified, and just flat out sick to my stomach. September 21, 2020 at 11:27PM

It was about the Book not the Police flags. The Book is what I have a problem with, which is why I included the second photo. September 21, 2020 at 11:25PM

My wife [40f] and I [40m] have been happily married for almost 20 years, but throughout that time there's been one issue that has always been there...drinking. We grew up in two completely different environments, she in a place where drinking (and drinking to excess) was constantly around, in fact it's very interwoven into the social fabric of her town and family. I grew up in a conservative Christian community where drinking was frowned upon and so didn't start consuming alcohol until I left home. I honestly don't believe one of these situations is better than the other, they are both unhealthy in their own ways and so, like all things, the truth is somewhere in the middle. My wife and I were well aware of this difference when we started our relationship and so at times we've handled it in different ways. In the beginning she basically stopped drinking for a period of time but as anyone that comes from a place where drinking is so much part of the fabric of the ...

My husband and I are wonderful together but this last year we have been struck by grief. We have had 6 deaths in 5 months and the last three have been close relatives on both sides. (Grandfather, aunty and cousin) We have been good at supporting each other but I have been feeling so overwhelmed with everything over the last week. We have had two funerals within a week of each other. He has a son from a previous marriage who is polite but ungrateful and dismissive of what is happening. Anyway, Saturday I went to see a girlfriend and we were catching up and I just vented about how awful my MIL is. How she hasn't asked any questions or offered support whilst I lost my aunty but I did so much when it was my husbands grandfather who passed away. I of course did this for him but I feel that my grief is not important to his side as no-one has asked me how I am feeling, offered help or supported in any way. I never speak about our marriage or want to ill speak of my husbands family bu...

My ex and I recently broke up a month ago. It was a pretty civil breakup all things considered. I wanted to stay together but felt he needed to work on some of his own issues before he was ready to be in a relationship. Usually after a breakup I go no contact and that works well for me, but this breakup is sitting differently with me and I can’t really explain why. My gut is telling me to reach out to get some clarification on something he said, but he’s an avoidant style and I wonder if he’ll even be open to having a conversation. We did end things off with him saying that I could reach out to him after a while. I guess my question is, has anyone reached out to an ex after breaking up and have that conversation go well? How did you start that dialogue? On the flip side, would also like to hear examples of such conversations going poorly.
