Hey!
I’m new to piefed. I was a part of the Reddit migration originally. Since then, I really enjoyed the conversations.

I’m a behavior therapist by day. Otherwise a bit of an introvert/gamer. I’m always up for a conversation. Unless I’m asleep, which is earlier and earlier these days.

    What a sad thing to want or wish for. You have to think, divorces and discontent don’t come out of nowhere. Wife or primary caregiver often gets fed up with taking care of someone with arrested development which becomes massively apparent after children are born, or there are money issues, etc. Divorced/older men chasing younger naive women is a stereotype for a reason.


  • Ya for real though, don’t worry, people in medical/human services aren’t too worried about your explosive diarrhea. (I know it’s hard to emotionally detach on this when you’re younger). But…It’s just a job. My colleagues and I have often incidentally been extremely intimate just by virtue of we have to work with people who are sometimes naked, and deal with fluids and the like. In any other context it might be embarrassing to meet someone and thirty minutes later look at a penis together. Nature of the beast etc. Everyone poops!




  • Oh, awful. We dated for several years. He moved across the country on short notice. Just let me know one day after work he was moving back to his moms. I felt that abandonment for multiple years. But inadvertently ended up with several degrees and a nice job because I didn’t stay with him and continue doing whatever I could to be next to him like a puppy. Now I realize relationships aren’t everything. To be honest he didn’t deserve my love and it’s sickening that I’ve never liked anyone nearly as much even decades later.









  • Yep. Nearly got it from being exposed to HPV from an asymptomatic male spouse. There weren’t any symptoms other than potentially a little skin tag. It was caught in the advanced precancerous stage or whatever. They offered me a hysterectomy at 29 or we could try cutting out what (visibly to me) looked like about large marble-sized chunk of cervix. We could try that twice. Thankfully I’ve been clear for years, have my vaccine now etc. You know, it’s wild they do that while you’re awake in an exam room to me. Anyway!! A little vaccine could have spared all that.

    I no longer plan days. I plan small moments, events, conversations, and I plan reactions for when my plans go wrong (things like incompatible and alternative behaviors). I often find myself imitating characters and people I’ve admired who have great social skills and compassion. Breaking my day up into calendar events has helped tremendously. It feels silly, but planning for plans to break was so painful at first, now it’s just something I laugh over as I rewrite my calendar for the third time in a day.
