In case you ever do this again get coconut or olive oil or even vegetable oil (they are in order of what works best) and wipe with it. It "cuts" the tea tree and saves you. I know this from experience in a few ways. 1 I use oils a lot. 2 tea tree is awesome when you have a yeast infection so I've used it then followed with coconut but it's better to mix them before applying. It actually helps the itch a TON. And ya, water, as you learned does absolutely nothing and can even irritate further.

The first step, for your own well being, a license will be a big source of empowerment and freedom for you. Look at driving classes in your area, programs are relatively cheap, with manageable schedules. The environments are low pressure, and they take you through the entire process of licensing. It is very low pressure, and will be very rewarding.

The main question is do you trust him. Are you worried he will cheat on you. It sounds like he’s just got a broader sexual appetite, and was understandably insecure about being honest with you about it. I mean, look at your reaction. If you love him, and you don’t have any intimacy issues together, maybe focus on ways to improve the situation. Maybe try watching the stuff he is into and see if you could share that with him.

Whatever you decide, it will all be ok. You guys are young. Even if you feel you have to break up, and you need yo Uber around for a while, you will always find ways to move forward.

Take a few breaths and calm down... He is probably bisexual in no way does this does not mean he is not attracted to you. Teen usually means 18-19 that is not necessarily a big deal (assuming he isn't watching anyone actually underaged).

If it bothers you THIS much you might as well break up with him but imo this is 100% overreacting. Also porn use does not always translate to what you want in real life, at least in my experience.

This is exactly why most men are uncomfortable talking about porn use with their girlfriends. Sorry if this sounds harsh it's just pretty common for people to have seemingly strange tastes when it comes to porn and does not actually mean he is not attracted to you or gay.

I can't say he hasn't said something like this, considering he thought people should bleach their lungs or whatever it was, but it was an online 'sexual wellness' influencer or something. I worked in the sex industry so I got to have frank conversations with many women about stupid shit they'd read online and wanted to try. Like that whole sunning your taint thing. (Working in the industry meant my knowledge around genitals and everything sexual had to be on point and I wasn't embarrassed to talk about weird shit. And oh boy did people take 'I've heard weirder' as a challenge.)

Tea tree oil as a stand alone product is concentrated, as are most essential oils. That's a big part of why they can harm you. (Also some of them can be toxic if absorbed through the skin or mucus membranes, but that's not relevant to tea tree oil)

Most of the time if you see an oil like that in a product, it's being diluted by carrier oils that are safe for you (coconut oil is a really popular one) to dilute them and make them safe to use directly on your skin. Your soap likely is using a carrier oil to protect you (and a lot of carrier oils are really nice and moisturising for your skin)

Water isn't super effective at diluting in the sense of mixing evenly since it's still an oil, but it does reduce the ppm of the oil, rendering it less damaging to the skin.

Also for anyone using it for skincare; remember to moisturise after, that shit is astringent as hell and your skin needs a barrier to protect it.

Not everyone is as comfortable talking about their porn habits openly, even with a partner. Honestly I think I'd rather lie and say I don't watch any, than discuss with someone what kind of porn I jacked it to yesterday.

Is someone's partner not allowed an ounce of privacy? Does he really have to share his subconscious with you?

Really though, if this elicits the level of reaction from you that it seems it does, then you're right, just leave him. You'd be doing him a favour.

I couldn’t finish reading it, but didn’t trust him, you invaded his privacy by first interrogating him about his viewing preferences, then later investigated confirming the funny feeling-red flags. Snooping on the phone was stage two of violating his privacy… I wouldn’t worry about what he thinks of you or if he finds out - there’s nothing to salvage - there was no trust. Best to move on. Also, you’re loaning money to someone who is spending it on something other than essentials, this isn’t a financially sustainable living arrangement.
