People keep criticising my dog because he's really skinny. He has pancreatitis and I've spent thousands of dollars in medical bills. His entire life he was always SO HEALTHY. But everything changed when he turned 10. People say that 10 is not old, and that there's no reason why he should have so many health conditions. People are making me feel bad, as if I'm a bad owner or something.

My dog is 11 years old now. He looks very old. His muzzle and paws are turning very white, he's got a lot of health issues, basically every part of his body seems to have an issue. He walks like an old dog, and he's forgetting his memory.

Am I a bad owner? Or could it be possible that every dog ages at his own pace... Just like humans age. Some humans only live to 70, and some make it to 100.

I don't think it's fair to be accused of being a bad owner. I've been taking him to the vet and I've spent a fortune getting him the proper health care. He doesn't have cancer or anything, just everything isn't working as efficiently as it used to.

Ok so before I start, I know I might come off as offensive, but I'm taking this risk in the hopes that somebody can help me understand. I am a female by the way.

Basically, I think I suffer from something very similar to gender dysphoria. Except I really don't believe in gender or any of that. I think "gender" is a social construct and has nothing to do with my feelings. I don't think that I have the "brain of a man" stuck in a girls body. I am more gender neutral and don't like to think in terms of gender. My dysphoria comes from how I view my body. I want the body of a man. I HATE my female body. I've always hated my female body since even before puberty. But once I started going through puberty, it was pretty traumatic for me. In order to prevent myself from getting big breasts, I became severely anorexic. My fear of getting breasts as a teenager drove me to become an anorexic to the extreme. I eventually got over the anorexia, gained some weight, and tried my best to accept the fact that I have breasts. I thought that eventually I would get used to having breasts. Well, 12 years after first getting my boobs, and I'm STILL not used to it. Also, I love men's bodies. They are so strong and powerful and gain muscle so easily. I weight train like crazy, and just can't gain that amount of muscle mass. I live in jealousy of men all the time :(

So my question is, am I transgender? even though the whole gender thing is not my issue, it's my biological sex that's the issue

so last night I admitted to my boyfriend how I felt about my body. I told him I hated being female. It's something I've hated my entire life. My earliest thoughts of feeling this way was during PE in elementary school. I hated how I was pushed to the side in dodge ball cause "girls can't hit". Then during middle school, i started puberty. I started researching breast reduction surgery. I was really uncomfortable with my breasts. I hated how I couldn't go outside topless. I hated having to wear a bra. I hated how my breasts jiggle every time I run. They were and still are, uncomfortable. Waking up every day and having to deal with my breasts every day. I am a Crossfit athlete. I always hated how I would work out so much and gain minimal amounts of muscle mass. I wasn't as strong as my male counterparts. I would look at them and wish that I had their body. Now, I have a boyfriend, and sometimes I let my jealousy get the best of me.

Last night I decided to tell my boyfriend why I would sometimes get jealous at the gym. I wanted him to know this deep dark secret about me so that he could understand me better. You should've seen how mad he got. He made me so embarrassed and ashamed of myself. He didn't understand what I was going through at all.

What is wrong with me? Why is it so hard to just accept the body I wAs given?

I get so many compliments from guys calling me gorgeous and beautiful. But girls don't ever compliment my looks. So am I really ugly? Maybe guys just compliment me because they think that compliments will make me want to be with them or something. Maybe in reality I'm an ugly duckling and guys just say what they say to get in my pants

so I have really low self confidence. When I see myself in the mirror, a picture, or a video, I can't stand to see myself. I think I'm so ugly and funny looking. And then I get embarrassed being out and about in public. I usually wear baggy clothes to hide my funny looking body. Yet despite looking so funny, I still get called beautiful. Guys will say things like "I like your look. You look really unique. You have features that stand out that make you look different from everybody else" I'm always being called unique looking, exotic, and beautiful. So I'm thinking maybe I'm being called that because men will say any thing they can to charm the ladies so that they'll have sex with them. So maybe all of these men are lying saying that I'm pretty, when in reality they just want to get in my pants

I hate being a woman. I hate being in this weak pathetic body. I hate it that I work out so much harder then my boyfriend, yet he's still stronger then me by a long shot. I put in the hours, I put in the effort, yet he's just naturally blessed with strength and doesn't have to do anything too demanding to get to that point.

I also hate my body. I hate these horrible breasts. They jiggle when I jump, I hate he way they hang on my chest. I hate the bras that are needed to support them. I look at my boyfriends chest, and he looks so flat and muscular and strong. When I see my boyfriend lifting heavy things, I just ripple in anger. It's not his fault, I know. But I try so hard and he doesn't but because I'm stuck in this horrible body I'm just a weakling no matter what I do and how I train.

I hate the fact that I always get nervous about being pregnant, no matter how much protection I use. I hate the fact that my body is capable of falling pregnant, and so when I have sex I cant ever fully enjoy it which leads me to my next point.

Men can orgasm with penetration, and the way men pant during sex, it seems like they really enjoy it. I never feel that kind of pleasure with penetration. I don't even orgasm through penetration.

Being in this weak female body just sucks and I'm having trouble dating a man for this reason. I just don't think I can date men due to the jealousy that I will always feel for them.

My boyfriend is a man, and I am a woman. You can't compare apples to oranges. But he does. We both do Crossfit and other intense workouts. I am WAY more athletic then him, I've been an athlete almost my entire life. He is just an every day exerciser. Anyways, he's constantly comparing his legs to mine, constantly comparing my stomach to his. And he's the type of guy that gains muscle easily, whereas I don't gain much muscle, if at all. But I find performance to be way more important then how much muscle a person has. Do you think that it's wrong that he compares himself to me? Why do you think he feels the need to do that? He's a man, he already wins by default.

I believe very strongly in animal rights. I believe that every life matters, and when I see animals in cages, I imagine how a human would feel locked up like that. The way I see it, an animal in a cage is like a human being in jail. Worse even, because usually jail cells are bigger then animal cages. There is a dog at my boyfriends house. that poor dog is always being locked up in a cage, and he doesn't seem to see anything wrong with that. He saids, "it's just a dog" and he doesn't care about the environment, and his beliefs just clash against mine when it comes to planet earth and the animals that inhabit it. I love animals.. How can I have a relationship with a person who's views clash so badly against mine?

Flexibility is a big component of fitness. Flexibility is also something that women excel at. They are more flexibility then men. So why would women be considered u athletic if we have such great flexibility? Sure our strength is not that of a mans' but our flexibility is greater. We just have a different kind of athleticism.

My boyfriend came inside me several times during my fertile time. I took two early response pregnancy tests 3 and 4 days before my period. Both came out negative. What are my chances that I might still be pregnant? I have mixed emotions about this, but I think that whether I am pregnant or not, I will be happy with either outcome. But I still want to KNOW

If I ever get pregnant, I don't think I should give the fathers' last name to my child. I go through the pain and discomfort of pregnancy. I go through the pain of labor. I go through the weight gain and the breast feeding. I carry the baby for 9 months in MY womb. I suffer and put my body through a lot of pain. I strongly believe that the person that births the baby should be the one that gives the baby the last name. But that's just my opinion

I am 22 years old and my bf is 40. Are the chances of us conceiving still high since I'm young?

Would it be grammatically correct to end a sentence with the word fewer? If so, please give me an example.

I've asked this question before but I'm gunna ask it again because I think people misunderstood me. I was at publix today and I read a sign that said "10 items or fewer" my first reaction was to say hey that's grammatically incorrect! The way the word "fewer" should be used in this situation is by saying, "fewer than 10 items", or if publix insists that the items have to be 10 items or fewer than that, then the sign should say something like "up to ten items" OR "fewer than 11 items" but to say "10 items or fewer" sounds like you are using the words right, but putting them in the wrong order. Usually the word fewer comes before the word it's describing.

like "fewer than 10 items" or "fewer than 11 items" as opposed to the funny sounding "10 items or fewer." or even saying "up to 10 items" sounds better then saying "10 items or fewer" but hey, maybe it is grammatically correct, which in that case, it still sounds very funky to me, and I would still personally feel like the words were in the wrong order

Isn't it more grammatically correct to say "fewer then 10 items" as opposed to "10items or fewer" ?

Why is it that guys aren't expected to have to wear make up in order to look good, but girls have to wear make up? It makes no sense. If guys can go without make up, so should girls!

Would you consider a 5000 sq ft house to be big? If so, would that mean that the bedrooms would be big and spacious?

Can sex on day 8 of my cycle result in pregnancy?

Me and my boyfriend tried to make a baby the day after I finished my period, which lasts 3 days. I know this probably isn't anywhere near my time of ovulation. We had sex just once and he came inside me. What is the possibility of getting pregnant from that one sexual encounter?

This will sound extremely conceited, I know.. I just want this part of my life explained.. The thing is that SOOO many men pursue me on a regular basis. It's pretty crazy. I've been told that I look unique and exotic. I'be been called beautiful too.. Is it a common occurrence for all women to have this kind of attention? I don't have too many girl friends so I don't know if my life is normal.. It doesn't seem normal..
