Whenever I block and my opponent hits my blocking arm they register it as a point. I’m never blocking my head because I get really focused on my body. I don’t move around a lot. I also feel like I’m open whenever I try to kick or have just finished a kick. I know all my errors but as soon as I start sparring all that seems to go out the window!
Every time I'm sparring in class I start off controlled and not hitting too hard, but if the other person is hitting/kicking me hard I lose control and I can't think, block, or land anything other then back leg round kicks.
With me and my husband (non traditional) I make 70% of the money and he makes around 30% and so I pay for bills, trips, cars, motorcycles, private school for the kids, all the big stuff. He pays for stuff like school supplies, ordering food on nights we don’t cook, clothes, most small items. I was wondering with traditional partnerships how this is split especially because many of you have no source of income on your own.
edit: I don’t just mean who makes the money, apologies. I meant how is everything split between you (time, working, cooking, cleaning) where is the balence between you two or are they doing everything?
Throwaway because my husband knows my main.
I (28F) have been married to my husband (30M) for 2 years, together for 5. We've always used condoms because I wanted to be careful. I'm a planner and the idea of an unplanned pregnancy terrifies me, even though we both want kids eventually.
Last night he brought up that he wants to stop using condoms. I said I wasn't comfortable with that yet, and that's when he dropped this bomb on me: "I don't believe in using protection when you're married. That's the whole point of marriage, we're committed to each other."
I was stunned. I asked him what he meant, and he explained that he thinks protection is for "dating and casual stuff" and that once you're married, you should be "open to life" and "trust each other completely." He even said that if I insist on condoms, it shows I don't trust him or I'm not fully committed to our marriage.
I tried explaining that it's not about trust—it's about being responsible and not ready for kids yet. He got defensive and said his parents and grandparents never used "all that stuff" and they were fine. He also said "most married couples" stop using protection because it's "unnatural" when you're committed.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. The thought of going without any protection right now genuinely scares me. He's making it sound like I'm weird or paranoid for wanting to use condoms, and he's framing it as some kind of moral failing on my part.
Is this actually a common belief? Do most married couples stop using protection entirely? I feel like this came out of nowhere and I'm questioning everything now. He's never expressed this view before, and I'm wondering if this is some weird thing he read online or if I'm actually in the minority here.
TL;DR: Husband says married couples shouldn't use protection and I'm wrong for wanting to keep using condoms. AITA?
Edit: spelling, apologies.
A lot of the trad wives on social media try to promote it as a lifestyle to other women and don’t believe they should work, make more money in relationship, etc. social media is often wrong so I’d like to hear your take.
We were in the pool and I was playing with the boys and my mom asked if she wanted me to swim to her (I taught her how to swim on vacation) and I clearly said no. She swam towards me anyway and wasn’t stopping and was splashing my eyes so I tried to push her away and accidentally pushed her face. She got upset and I apologized and tried to stay away from her so more issues wouldn’t happen. She came over to me and started talking starting up an argument again and I asked. her if she could move down towards the other side of the pool (I’m not tall enough to go over there myself and still stand) she said she couldn’t because she couldn’t swim. I said your taller then the water you can and she got upset. In front of everyone she choked me against the wall of the pool, and I grabbed her hands and took them off me pinning them so she couldn’t keep going. She got even more upset and slapped me multiple times and told me to go home. When my dad asked what happened she said she was tired of my attitude and went on and on about how terrible I am (in front of 4 other families all present). My dad took me home and she hasn’t gotten back yet but I don’t know what to do. I can’t stop shaking and crying, and I’m trying to figure out what to do.
Update: Apparently she told everyone I hit her, and that’s why no one’s on my side. Everyone’s mad at me, neither of my parents are speaking to me, and for now I‘m making my own food but I only have a few days before I’ll run out of my own stuff. Neither of them will get me more.
So my friend has an ED everyone can tell (never eats, chews gum all day, will not touch food, etc.) My bulimic self in the other hand dies eat lunch. So around the time when it turned into a restrict cycle I had stopped eating at lunch and she was questioning me about it. For months now I’ve just been drinking energy drinks at lunch time and not eating and her depression has been getting worse (more SH scars, more talks about you know). She only looks happy when she sees me eat which I don’t do often anymore especially with the meds I’m on. However what makes me concerned is there is NO possible way for this “competition” to work. No amount of my b/p or her restricting will make her smaller then me (I’m underweight and haven’t gained weight in years and she’s overweight and has been for years). I don’t know what to do
I was at taekwando and we were sparring, and usually the boys wear a cup in case they get kicked there. So he tried to kick me in the head and I was trying to kick him in the stomach at the same time and I kicked him really hard there and he wasn’t wearing a cup. He’s sixteen and he fell down and started crying and I kept apologizing but he kept crying, and I feel really bad. Should I just forget about it or apologize again next time idk?
Me (19f) and my boyfriend (21M) were at our friends house playing truth or dare. So someone asked him what his favorite thing about my physical appearance was and his answer was unsettling to me. He basically said he loves how young I look (I’m 19 but I look 14 or 15, I’ve always looked years younger than I am and I almost look like a kid). I told him that was weird, but everyone else kept saying it wasn’t. It made me uncomfortable so I haven’t talked to him since? AITJ and should I reach out to him?
Tl;dr: My bf said his favorite thing about my is that I look like a kid, and it made me uncomfortable. AITJ for ghosting him?
Whenever I finish eating she squeezes my arms and kind of feels what part is bone/muscle and what part is fat, even when I’m just talking to her.
She watches me really closely whenever I eat. If I eat half of something, than she will only eat half as well. Whenever I’m eating without her she’ll walk over and look and see what I’m eating, ask whats in it, and taste it.
Whenever I eat anything remotely a dessert, she tells me not to eat it or I’ll get fat.
She‘s always telling me about how much weight she’s losing and she only eats around one time a day.
She constantly compares how few she’s eating to how I eat, and it always leads to me restricting for days at a time (eating absolutely nothing).
She always comments on my body telling me how “perfect it is” and constantly saying she’s her body is it, but then proceeds to tell me I eat too much/too little.
She works out constantly and gets upset whenever I workout, and constantly tells me I don’t need to.
She tells me to eat more and tries to get me to eat enough for a grown man, but when I eat normally she tells me I’m eating to much.
I feel like she wants me to stay skinny as long as she’s skinnier then me, which IS NOT possible. I‘m a teenager And she’s 40 but she makes me feel as if I’m eating too much if I eat more then once a day.
I wear daily disposable lenses and I’m a teenager so I bad taking them out and sometimes forget. Ten minute ago I took at my contact lenses for the first time in three weeks (same lenses didn’t take them out and forget they were on). My eyes feel fine and normal, but should I go to the doctor and check?
I’m doing flvs flex and I started June 1st and I’ll be finished next Monday with semester 1 of algebra 2 (98% average) is it normal to finish that fast or am I going too fast?
My parents have gotten mad at me for being bipolar saying I’m “bringing the mood down”, not eating at functions due to my eating disorder and calling me “embarrassing“, and for anything related to my OCD (not eating near expired food even if it’s still good, not touching food someone else touched, tapping my nails ima. certain order, saying my thoughts out loud). Does this happen to anyone else?
I wake up and most days when I look in the morning I’m happy since my stomach is flat and I look thin and I’ll have a really good day. But on days when I eat a lot if i see myself in the mirror and look bloated I sink into a depression like state (almost kms kind of state). Does this happen to anyone else?
