The strawperson I'm boxing is literally the guy who said he wouldn't do the vas gel shot if it was an option.

From their own webpage: "Vasalgel should be thought of as a vasectomy alternative." which is what prompted the other dude to say nope, not whining about needles. They hope to make it reversible but at this point it should be considered permanent. So no, not even remotely comparable.

Seems unfair to expect anyone to deal with pill issues / iud issues like painful periods etc / implants when I could just get it snipped.

It was absolutely about squeamishness considering he reneged after he read it was an injection, as his prior post indicated he thought it was a pill or an implant so I doubt very much he took the time to read the webpage as you did.

The snip is easy if you're confident you don't want kids. You're in and out in 10 minutes, costs nothing, and barely hurts at all.

Women getting their tubes tied is incredibly invasive, costs a ton of money, and of course requires them to answer a million "are you sure?" "I mean, are you really sure you want to do this with your body?" "What if you change your mind and want to have kids someday?" questions from judgmental doctors. My wife had an IUD and when it was time to get it replaced, I was just like, gently caress it, a vasectomy is way easier.

Being a male, naturally doctors assume you are ultra logical and have thought this through and don't question your motives at all.

Did they...did they forget to fold the little arms down first when they inserted yours?

Insertion wasn't bad on mine, but it's like there's a button at the top of the uterus that, when pressed, makes everything cramp at once. My first IUD have me the worst cramps of my life for 3 months....and then nothing. I have like 1 period a year. Removal felt more weird than anything else, and no pain when they inserted the second. Love these things.

My [30F] partner [28M] of 6 years doesn't want me to come to the hospital where he is currently waiting for his grandmother to be seen even though I work there.

quote:

I woke up at about 3 pm today after a night shift to find my partner had left the house. When I called to check up on him he said his grandmother was unwell and they were currently at the hospital waiting for her to be seen.

For context - his grandmother means the world to him, he loves her more than his mother and probably more than he loves me too.

He didn't know what the plan was for his grandmother, said nobody had spoken to them properly and explained what was going on, etc. He seemed quite distressed.

I currently work at that hospital as a student nurse so I said I'd come and talk to the nurses and doctors, maybe get her seen sooner and find out what's going on. They get so busy there sometimes people need to speak up to get the information and help they need and since I know how things are I could really support my partner and his grandmother. Besides that I care for her and worry so I want to see her. Me working there shouldn't even be relevant but is an added bonus in my opinion.

My partner insists on me staying at home though. He told me to relax and that they'll be fine. I don't understand why he doesn't want me to come and try to help. I'm still a bit tired from my night shift so I might be overly sensitive which is why I'm posting here.

tl;dr: Partner's grandmother is in hospital and they haven't gotten much information out of the staff yet but partner doesn't want me to come there to help even though I work there.
It's adorable that she thinks anyone in an ER would give a poo poo about her "I'm a student nurse! I can tell this is serious! Bump my partner's grandma up the triage list! Pretty please?" plan.

You do not have to be good. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
If you get an IUD, ask for a lidocaine cervical block, you won't feel poo poo on insertion. I vagaled real hard when mine went in and passed out and nearly coded and YES IT hurt like a loving bitch.

I pulled mine out by hand though and it hurt way less than going in, but it still hurt. I had it for seven years and stopped having periods, but I would have spotting every time I did any hard work (like... going to work) and cramping any time I had sex (for like three days at a time, so sometimes I would just cramp every day) and only found out at the end that the strings were poking my husband in the dick the whole time. Also it may or may not have given me a huge ovarian cyst that required surgical removal.

And I still loving loved that thing. No effort, no nausea, no periods, no risk of pregnancy, no pharmacy budget, no doctor giving me poo poo about my sex life, no clots or strokes or weight gain. That's what counts as awesome birth control for the womb-havers among us.

When I'm done reproducing my husband is getting snipped.

I'm just chill about it. Probably too chill.

"Keep trying, you can do it!"

:misses python-sized vein for the fifth time:

"Wanna try the other arm again?"

Then an actual nurse wanders in with a visage twisted in horror (or at least annoyance) at what the poor trainee is doing to me and sticks me in one, while the trainee gazes on in wonderment at such an impossible feat. I leave looking like a heroin addict, with a grin on my face, and a spring in my step.

They have to get practice in sometime. I've also had a strange number of therapists/shrinks in training sit in on my therapy sessions, probably because I don't care if they hang out. They're usually pretty cute anyway. Bitches love therapy, I guess.

nah i'm patient too, I was on some medication that could gently caress with your liver or something from a young age on and so I got blood draws on the reg (to make sure things weren't goin south) and was just used to it. It just seems surreal that for all the legality that comes with human testing in every other facet of life it's just sorta a thing with student nurses.

Student nurses under supervision during clinicals: adorable! They learn so fast!

Student nurses with their preceptors more than six feet away: DEFINITELY going to kill somebody.

Student nurses accompanying family members to the ED for triage/visiting granddad on the ICU and telling the nurses what to do/trying to educate strangers in the waiting room... get them the gently caress out.

Unfortunately they have to stick people at some point if you want them to ever be good at it. I mean, they can poke each other, but they also gotta learn how to stick 500 year old grandpa with flabby arms and paper-thin veins, 6 year old Timmy who's simultaneously trying to make you go deaf & moving enough that you keep losing the vein, and that former heroin addict with only one usable vein left.

On the flip side, once they get good at it, they're effectively magic vein finders. I work in a small enough ER that there's no phlebotomist after outpatient hours, and every time they call me to help with a stick I think "if you can't find it, how the gently caress can I?"

She came out right afterwards but that was loving horrible once I knew what the noise was.

Me [34M] met an older women [45F] while walking my dog, scaring me with how strong she is coming on

quote:

Basically was out a walk with my dog last Friday, got chatting to a fellow dog walker. Nice looking girl and i do fancy her.
She's been initiating everything, texts, calls meetups. I wasn't even home after meeting her that night and she called to ask to go for a drink.
She's quiet bossy as well, for instance we don't live that far from each other, about 10 mins in a car, on Monday night she asked could she call round, then pretty much invited herself to stay the night, i was round at hers through the week as well and was pretty much plied with drink and told to stay becuase i couldn't drive. Then today just sent me a msg saying i'm making you dinner tonight even though i already have plans with friends.
I'm not one to get physically intimate with someone until i get to know them more, so that hasn't happened, although we've kissed and cuddled the 2 nights we've spent together
Things have been getting pretty heavy emotionally the past few days from her in terms of msgs from her, for instance since i stayed the night with her (all we did was cuddle) she's been sending me msgs telling me i'm her knight in shinning armour and have pulled her from a dark place.
She's 4 years divorced i think, but she has told me she's already telling her friends, kids, work colleagues about me.
i'm about 5 months out of a 13 year relationship myself so am not looking to jump into another one! i like the girl, but not so much as to want a relationship and also i'm not ready for a full on relationship again and have no interest in hooking up as a FWB. Worried about how she'll react if i tell her i need some space.
She doesn't know i'm not long out of a relationship so was going to tell her this is the reason i need space, which is the truth.
Obviously having been in the one relationship for so long, i'm a bit unsure as to how to go about this, so is it something i'm better doing over coffee somewhere public or privately in her place or mine?
tl;dr: Met an older lady, she's been sending me deep deep deep msgs about saving her from a dark place, not ready for a relationship after being in one for 13 years!

This sounds healthy. I think this knight needs to give her his lance, surely nothing could go wrong.
