I’ve had a similar experience. In my early adulthood, I fell hard for a girl at my school. She liked me back and we flirted for months.
Eventually, things escalate at a party and she ends up coming back with me to my dorm room. She crawls into my bed next to me and immediately pretends to fall asleep.
I’m young, inexperienced and nervous and not really sure what I’m supposed to do in that situation. So I end up laying there pretending to sleep as well. After a couple hours she gets up and leaves without a word or acknowledgement.
And thus that fling came to an end. I was devastated and confused. I asked her friends what went wrong and apparently the expectation was that I was supposed to make a move on her while she was “sleeping” and the fact that I didn’t signaled that I wasn’t interested. She took it as a rejection and left with hurt feelings.
We were young and dumb and as far as I’m concerned I did the right thing. I only wish I had the brains and maturity to communicate my feelings better at the time. But it’s always struck me as weird that in that moment I was “supposed” to do what essentially amounts to sexual assault.


So past experiences influence future decisions??


The irony of his statements about the destruction of the rule of law while referring to an illegal war that Congress, for which he is a member of, never approved.

“Guys, this thing we’re going full steam ahead on building is really scary and could destroy the world and humanity along with it! Somebody ought to do something about it!”


Kind of the opposite but I think monogamy is not tied to morality like our society makes it out to be and more often than not is a crutch for people with issues around extreme jealousy, interpersonal insecurities and possessiveness.
A bidet with a heated seat and water. The water doesn’t get very hot but at least it’s not freezing in the winter. The heated seat is underrated until you go somewhere without one and remember how cold a toilet seat can get.
