Has anyone received their early payment for this holiday?

I usually get paid on Monday but with indigenous peoples day I figured it would come early, you don’t usually get paid on the weekends so I thought it would come Friday but would it come Sunday instead?

Hate being used as a plus sized woman

EDIT:: I’d also like to add that unfortunately, it’s not just dating apps where this happens. It’s with men I meet in real life too. I had a little situationship, we were more friendly than anything and he’s like example A. Loved chubby women but when it came around to being serious or talking about that stuff it was “just sex” “nothing serious.” I will say I think it was a societal pressure thing, he did gravitate towards plus size women and he had huge insecurity issues that made him a “gym bro”, so I guess he had to maintain that.

So by no means am I small girl, I’m 5’4, approx 240lbs (dropping for health purposes, but I will always be plus sized)

Now, I’ve been lucky enough to have been in a relationship for almost 2 years (16-18) so for a lot of time was taken up for me to forget how horrible and gross men can be. Women can be too, but I mostly date men as the women in my area just don’t seem to be my type lol. Anyways!

I started going on dating apps recently, and I’m starting to come to and/or remember the realization that most men don’t want to date plus sized women. Sure, we’re good for sex, because they are attracted to us, just not enough to be in a relationship with us, or they fetichize or say they loveee plus sized women but don’t actually want a plus size woman. Don’t get me wrong.. it’s ok to have a type. I have a type, but I don’t seek out people who aren’t my type or are my type and I just won’t date them because of how I’m scared others will see me.

I know it’s not a me issue, and others dysfunctions don’t define me as a person, but it makes me question myself seriously. I’m not ugly, I take care of myself, to my knowledge and what people have told me, I’m an interesting person and a nice talker. So what is it that makes them act the way they do??

Drivers License/Permit question Texas

So I (19F) scheduled my DPS appointment for my drivers license and I’m confused. I don’t really get much help at home because my mom is occupied with other kiddos, she doesn’t find much time to help with the adult stuff if that makes sense.

So I completed the 6 hour course, did the impact adult lessons and got both certificates. I have all my documentation and my appointment is this Tuesday. HOWEVER! I called to my coworkers and they said I need a permit before I even do my drivers exam + road test because when they went that’s what they were told, but I’ve already completed the requirements for the drivers test and no where in my person research implies or says I need my permit. I looked it up and it said I don’t need my permit before my drivers test in Texas, but that if there isn’t a road exam available then I will be issued a permit and come back on a later date for a road test to then get my license.

Can anyone confirm or deny? I haven’t had my permit or license before this either, so maybe I need my permit? I’m just confused because I’m getting different information from several sources.

Having a hard time expressing my wants and needs

I’m having a really difficult time discussing and putting up boundaries or what I want in a relationship whether it’s platonic or romantic. I’ve hit a hard place recently after getting out of a relationship of 2 years, I feel like all the walls I learned to break down are going right back up. I can’t say what I feel, and when a boundary is crossed (to no fault of the other party at all!), I can’t seem to say “oh yeah let’s maybe not do that.” For example, I’ve been exploring FWB situations with different people, although I only really have one actual situation with one of my ‘friends’. But, with this being an active situation I tend to talk about it with my other friends and somehow I’ve gotten myself into another with a friend I’ve had for about 3-4 years now. Unfortunately, somehow in discussing/not discussing this, it seems that this friends idea of FWB is not only sex but also kind of with romantic hints? We went on a hang out that felt very very date like. He is a very nice guy. He paid for my dinner, my movie tickets, etc. held doors for me, held my hand, kissed me on the cheek, and just got very close in general. This just isn’t natural for us and I felt myself freezing up instead of just putting up the boundary or even reciprocating it back. This seems like a non issue and obviously I will have a talk with him about it, I’d never like to leave him in the dark but whenever the moment comes I just feel frozen, anxious and I can’t say anything. Is this an issue anyone else has or has had?? I feel so weird and alone.

Viv disc + sex experience

Guys, I’m absolutely mind blown.

I’m 19F, been on my period for 3 weeks as a sexually active person which is very frustrating. In this, I’ve discovered menstrual disc. I was afraid to propose this idea at first to the guy I’m hooking up with, but I brought it up today and he said come over so I did!

I wasn’t bleeding as much but I figured it wa either coming to an end or it was clotting before it left my body.

Well, it’s safe to say that it was clotting. I left from this experience and went home to check my discs to see how it held up. For context, this guy is very well endowed, so I figured he may make me bleed a little bit and the disc would catch it. So again, I went to check and there was no blood before I took the disc out, good sign!! So when I took it out, it was FILLED to the BRIM with blood and clots. HOLY. FREAKING. COW. It held up SOSOSOSOSO well!! Definitely recommend. My only con about this was that he could feel the disc and said it was slightly uncomfortable, but it didn’t stop anything, besides the blood!

So for context, I’ve missed my period for maybe 2 months and now that I’m on it again, and have been for over a week (coming up on 2), I’m noticing that my blood clots, in very small amounts, the lining of my uterus. Initially I thought the excessive bleeding had to do with a clotting issue, which it very well may still be, that was related to Cymbalta. However, when I began to notice the small, skin like clots coming out, I figured it may be excess lining from missed periods/build up.

Does anyone know a good way to encourage or speed along this process? Long periods can get really exhausting and painful to deal with.

I’ve been on cymbalta for probably a year now, and a mistake I made was stopping it without telling anybody because it gave me a month long menstrual cycle. I just got back on it and now I’m experiencing another long period and I’m growing increasingly frustrated as it goes on. It affects my daily life, my sex life and many other things. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a way to stop it??
