My partner and I are not people who like angry sex. We have makeup sex. But we basically don't want to touch each other if we're angry at each other.

But I've heard so many good things about angry sex. I want that primal energy. I want the "I'm going to get mine, and I don't care if you like it". I want the "I'm going to make you sorry" and "I'm going to make you see you can't replace me" and "I'm going to show you you can't live without me." I want the "I don't care if I'm right but I'm going to shut you up with sex."

My husband and I are in a TPE. We do CNC, impact play, predicament (once in a while), degradation, objectification, and a lot of gentle, loving D/s. But for some reason, we

I'd like to waist train, but I'm not consistently there yet. However, my corsetted silhouette is completely different (I can get about a 6-8" reduction, and I'm hoping to train up to more) so my normal clothes don't look good. I'm thinking I basically need a second wardrobe?

First, I don't even know if this is a problem, and if it is, can it be solved? Would it be solved by me or him? Changing behavior or expectation?

My husband is a my Dom. We've always had varying levels of D/s. We also have kids. I'm the breadwinner. He stays at home.

My husband is a genuinely great person, partner, and father. He is patient (generally), kind, supportive, funny (even if it's often dad jokes). He is secure in who he is. He has excellent follow through. He's a harder worker than I am. He's emotionally aware. He's a real feminist.

We also, generally speaking, have great sexual compatibility in the bedroom. We could probably have more sex. And kinkier. But well, we have to de

Hi,

I don't know if I'm on the spectrum. My dad is probably undiagnosed ASD (very strongly). My mom has difficulties but it's not really clear where her problems come from. I grew up with child abuse so it's also unclear to me whether my hang up are from being not NT or just "generic" childhood abuse problems. I've been to a therapist for my childhood issues and mostly dealt with the trauma.

Several years ago, I read about Asperger's in girls and I really related to that, and have wondered if it's worth getting a diagnosis. Maybe it would help my kids?

I've always excelled at academics. I have a good job in tech which basically has no dress code and everyone is socially awkward anyway. So

Obligatory: This is about my husband's MIL, i.e., my mother.

Also: This one turned out a bit more detailed than I expected.

I'm finally in the second trimester of my pregnancy with my first. Nausea and vomiting are still pretty terrible. At the worst, I was vomiting 5-6 times a day. I lost 7 pounds in 3 weeks (which was almost hilarious since I had to work very hard to lose that much before getting pregnant). My husband was very concerned. (And also got super stressed just picking up all the extra slack and taking care of me.)

So I went to see my OB (who is my primary care physician), who said to take some Zofran. Now, for those of you who've done research, there are some studies t

My MIL is wonderful. This is about my mother, aka my husband's MIL.

First, some gems from my mother about children when we said we were thinking about having them:

"Don't have children, because once you have children, you don't get to be the child anymore. You can no longer have whatever you want whenever you want. And that sucks."

"Have you talked to a doctor about [insert non-genetically linked health issue that some of my husband's distant relatives have]? You probably shouldn't have kids."

"You didn't want to take care of your sister, so you'd probably be miserable with children." [note: I was a teenager and wanting to hang out with my teenager friends]

Anyway...

When we

This is a story about my mother, not my MIL. But she is my husband's MIL, so I thought I'd share. And it's about backpacking.

Every year, my husband's family does a pretty extreme family backpacking trip. We go somewhere fun. His parents prep all the food and the itinerary. Basically, we show up with our stuff and have a great time, with great stories and pictures. And it's cheap (like maybe $800 for both of us for the whole week, including airfare and taxis and everything).

While my mom is not obese, she's overweight. She claims to walk a lot, but it's all flat and on pavement. Even though when I lived at home, she always made me haul the heavy thing like bags of potatoes, she likes to im
