What to do? My horse has been very aggressive.?
Recently my mare has been super aggressive. She normally has pretty good ground manners, is great under saddle and just over all a safe horse. Recently I do NOT feel safe with her at ALL! It started one day when I was lunging her. She wasn't on a line. This is definitely not the first time we've lunged or anything but everything was going normal then she actually walked towards me aggressively and turned her hind to me and kicked out. She did this multiple times. It was scary.I realized later that day her reaction was mostly my fault I was putting to much pressure and not enough release. So I went back the other day tried free lunging again she did the same thing and we did it in a bigger space and gave her a lot more release but still she did this. Then I tried it again yesterday and this time i put her on the lunge line so I could have more control of her head. She was doing fine at walk, trot but when I ask for her to turn she just stares at me. I did have a whip with me trying to get her to go the other way. She got to a point where she started acting aggressively again and I hit her a couple times with the whip which I normally do not do and I didn't do it that hard. She was surprised and acted a tiny bit more responsive but only briefly then she just stopped listening again. I then had he do some back for me and turning her hind quarters away from me which I did much more aggressively than I normally would She responded well for the most part then I put her up.
2 AnswersHorses6 years agoBoyfriend and I brokeup I feel he was ac omplete asshole.....help please?
So me and my boyfriend broke up a week ago. The first few days we still talked and h was very back and forth about wanting to get back together and not wanting to get back and blah blah.
First he said he just wanted to be single and he didn't want to settle down and he felt like that's what he would have to do. We've been dating a year and half already, we aren't moving in together not talking about marriage so whatever that means.
Then he revealed to me it's because I won't have sex with him. Sex is very important to me and I don't give it away easily. He told me that he feels you reach a certain point of trust with someone in a relationship and sex comes when that feeling comes.
Then he said lets try again. We hung out that night kissed a little and just cuddled watching a movie. He said how he wants it to be different this time and I said that I don't want him to force himself to get back into it because I don't want it to be one side. Then he says "I feel like our whole relationship has been one sided."
WTF!!....... So this whole year and a half has been me liking him more than he liked me. Then he tells me that he's never put 100% into the relationship like I have.
No wonder it didn't work. I never once felt secure in our relationship so of course I'm not gonna have sex when it's so important to me. It's obvious that it would have been a mistake. I just don't get it....how can he say these things. A year and a half! I've been trying hard and he's been half assing it
3 AnswersSingles & Dating7 years agoJust broke up with my boyfriend. What do I do? How do I act?
My boyfriend and I (ex now) had been dating for about a year and a half and yesterday we just broke up. It was very sudden but even though I didn't really want to I suggested it and he agreed. We talked some about it and he said "I just want to be single" and "I feel like we are gonna have to settle down and I don't want that" which makes no sense to me. We don't live together or anything like we aren't settling down. Anyway, I know you're supposed to cut off all ties to help get over him but unfortunately we have a martial arts class we have been in for over a year now so I will still see him four times a week. I'm not sure how to act. He said he hopes we are still good friends and I told him to not count on it and if we were ever friends it wouldn't be for a long time. I don't want to talk to him. I don't want to see him. But if I don't go it's like it's because of him I do the martial arts for me not for him. So I am going. How should I act? Frankly he was a real douche during the break up which is the first time I've ever seen him act like a jerk. it was disappointing and I'm angry and sad too. So I just don't know how to act. I don't even want to look at him. Do I have to be nice to him? Please help.
Also this is my first relationship and first break up. We are both in college.

1 AnswerSingles & Dating7 years agoStarting a salt water aquarium???
HI! So I have a five gallon tank that I had my betta fish in (moved him to a ten gallon) but I was thinking of starting a small saltwater tank for like two shrimp. Not really any fish just some shrimp or a crab or something like that and maybe some live rock, I don't know. That's why I'm here though! Can I have a slat water tank (for shrimp not fish)?? Also what is a list of everything I need. I know a heater! But do shrimp need the big filters and pumps and stuff that big slat water tanks need? And does he need a special light? The 5 gallon comes with one but if just the shrimp are anything like the fish then I know that the light won't be enough. I'm not sure what kind of shrimp or crab yet but this just thinking.
I've had a freshwater aquarium for a year and a half now it's been my betta this whole time. I've learned a lot and I've been thinking about trying a salt water. But I don't want anything to die and I do something wrong so I'm just trying to learn!! I won't be doing anything until I have everything 100% planned out.
THanks in advance!
3 AnswersFish7 years agoMy boyfriend and I almost broke up last night. Advice please?!?
So please bare with me! SO about a week and a half ago my boyfriend went home for the holidays. I was a little frustrated because I kind of wanted to spend Christmas with him but he said maybe next year (we've been dating for a year now) anyway whenever he goes home (it happens almost every time) I don't know why but I get really mad at him. I get mad if he wakes up really late or doesn't text me for two hours or has a beer with his friends. I just get frustrated even though I know he's done nothing wrong or bad. I just get frustrated! I know part of it has to do with the fact that his mom doesn't like me because she's a crazy *****. His brother smokes weed ALL the time and I'm really against drugs so yeah it does bother me.
Anyway we talked about it one night and he told me I'm the last person he wants to be judged from and that he doesn't want me to be disappointed in him and that's when I realized that I was just being AWFUL! I was judging my boyfriend and his family and making him feel like if he goes out with the guys he can't tell me cause I'll get mad. So I realized that I was doing this and because I was mad at myself I sort of remained mad at him. He always tells me when he's gone that he thinks we are the perfect couple but only when we are together once he leaves all hell breaks loose.
He likes to pretend when we have a fight it never happened so he was acting like nothing happened and I told him that bothered me. So last night we talked and it got really serious. And I told him we should maybe break up because I'm not good enough for him and that I'm not a good girlfriend. I didn't want to break up with him but I felt so bad for him that he had to be with me.
He didn't want to break up but then towards the end of the conversation he really was about to just end it. We hung up when he said he's confused and wanted to be alone but then I called him back a little bit later and I told him I was sorry. I said I know what I've done wrong and I don't want to do it again. I said that I still love him so much and that I was sorry I ever judged him or his family. I told him I didn't want to break up and that this whole argument was just stupid. It was so stupid and I'm not even sure what it was about. The first thing he said was that he still loved me too. And end the end we didn't break up and I told him that I wanted him to forget this ever happened because it was just so stupid.
Anyway I know I was wrong and I apologized for everything and we are still together. We said goodnight on the phone last night and said we loved each other and he said he wants everything to just go back and be okay which so do I but I'm worried that he thinks less of me now. I want to show him that this isn't me and I don't know what's wrong with me. Sometimes I think maybe going to see a counselor would help me. But I just need to feel like he still loves me the same. It scares me that he was gonna break up with me. He said he doesn't want to lose me but when this happens it gets really hard for him. Which I get. Anyway please don't b to harsh, I know what I've done wrong and I will work on it I just need advice from here on out. Can it be the same as before? And all of that.
Thanks in advance.
2 AnswersSingles & Dating7 years agoMy boyfriend sleeps a lot. Why does it bother me??
So my boyfriend pretty much can sleep all freaking day if ya let him. For some reason it drives me crazy that he sleeps so much. One thing that annoys me is when I'm staying over at his place and he has to be up early for something he sets an alarm 30 minutes before he has to wake up and snoozes. It drives me nuts because I think the alarm going off again and again is obnoxious and because once I hear an alarm I'm up. I don't need it more than once.
Another thing that bothers me is he can sleep to 11:00 or noon. I don't know why but it drives me crazy!!! I'm always up by 8:00 and if I went to bed really late then by 9:00 no later. Like ever!!!
I kind of think I know why it bothers me. He does it more when he goes home for like vacation and stuff but I think I know why it bothers me. I think I feel like it's really lazy and half of the day is gone and you could've gotten so much done but no you slept through it al. And I think it's because I feel like it's irresponsible. Even on days where he doesn't have any obligations I just can't believe he sleeps in for so long! It's irresponsible and lazy in my opinion.
I'm not trying to be controlling or anything I'm writing this because I want to figure out how I can not let it bother me so much. It literally drives me crazy. It's like a peeve I have.
Does your boyfriend or girlfriend do this? Does it bother you??
Also I've told him the alarm thing bothers me and he knows I find it annoying he sleeps a lot. We never get into arguments about it but I do tease him a lot for it and he just laughs it off even though deep down I'm like "URAH!!!! Stop sleeping!!"
lol
1 AnswerSingles & Dating7 years agoWhat anime should I watch??!! (10pts)?
Alright so I'm trying to find a good anime to watch, one I can really get into. I don't mind anime that are about 30 episodes (no less) but I prefer longer ones. They can be over 100 episodes but not like 300 or 600 (sorry) Anyway here's a list of SOME of the ones I've seen and kind of what I am looking for.
Ao no Exorcist - recently watched this and I REALLY enjoyed. I've been looking for something like this but not having any luck.
Naruto - I really do like Naruto but I stopped watching it awhile ago (just too many fillers ugh) but I do like shows like this.
Hunter x Hunter - currently watching is right now the old one not the new. I really like it but I'm just at a slow part so I'm kind of losing interest lol. I'm gonna continue but later.
Bleach - stopped watching it awhile back but I did like it. I was on a part with filler after filler and lost interest tho. So if you don't see patter: I don't want tons of fillers.
Rurouni Kenshin - LOVED it
Yu Yu Hakusho - I'm only on like episode 8 or 10 and I'm having a hard time getting into it. It's not bad but slow and now a lot of action. I really have question about this one. Should I keep watching? Does it pick up??
Some other ones I've seen and really enjoyed
Kuroko no Basket
Wolf's Rain
(loved both of those!)
Ergo Proxy
Hellsing
I don't want to watch Fairy Tale. I'm going to eventually read the manga so I don't really want to watch it. I really enjoy One Piece but it's like super long and I just don't have the time to get into the right now lol.
Any idea would be appreciated! I'm looking for Action shounen types but I love most all kinds. I just don't like ecchi or harem. THanks!!!
9 AnswersComics & Animation7 years agoWhat manga is this? (Shojo) 10 pts PLEASE?
I read this awhile ago and kept up with new chapters but going into college I stopped reading manga for awhile and now I can't remember what it is!!! Here's what I remember:
It's about this girl who starts dating this guy (like all shojo) he's kind of the bad boy in school. But they end up together, she gets raped then she gets pregnant and has a misscarriage and then things get rough between them. He starts getting in with the wrong crowd again and doing drugs and stuff then then they break up at the end of the school year before college. She writes on the board at school "Were you happy?" and then he replies. So she's in college now and starts dating a new guy but she still goes to the park she promises to go to every year in memory of the baby she lost. Then she finds out that her first boyfriend is in the hospital so she goes to see him and finds out he has cancer then I think she's like I'll help you get through this or something like that.
That's the last chapter I ever read in the manga PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me!! I want to know what happens and I want to finish it or just continue reading it so PLEASE lol
Thanks in advance.
2 AnswersComics & Animation8 years agoTaking care of someone's betta?!?
Hey! SO I'm probably overreacting but I have a friend in my dorm who is going away for the weekend and asked me to take care of her fish. I have a ten gallon and a 5 gallon but because I have a dorm I can only use my five. I have two betta (the 10 gal is split). One I've had over a year and the other for 4 or 5 months. Anyway, the point is I KNOW how to care for betta fish but her fish isn't mine so it makes me nervous. Her tank doesn't have a filter, or heater, it's smaller than mine and with mine I hardly ever have to change the water, it stays crystal clear and I've recently started syphoning it once a week.
Any tips to make sure her betta stays alive? I know how to feed them and care for them but I don't want some freak thing to happen over the weekend and she comes back and her betta is dead! I'm just worried cuz it's not my fish. Anyway, I've never had my betta in a bowl or smaller tank without a heater or filter so information on water changes and if I should do water changes while she is gone would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
2 AnswersFish8 years agoPlanted Fresh Water Aquariums (10 Pts)?
I want to start a planted fresh water aquarium. I currently have a 10 gallon tank with a betta fish and some otos with two anubias, 3 or 4 amazon swords and 2 or 3 java oh and a marimo moss ball. I plan on eventually getting a 20 gallon tank and setting up as a completely planted tank and later putting my betta in there wih some community fish. I just want as much information as possible. Some basic questions I have are:
DO i have to have dirt substrate?
What all do I need to have a completely planted aquarium anything different from what I have now?
I want the bottom of my tank to be plantes so fro example, like almost covered in some kind of grass or moss how do I do this?
I've been searching on how to do it but can't find anything with a step by step process and some suggestions of plants would be great. I already have some in my mind. When I move my betta to a 20 gallon I'm gonna move my second betta (currently in a 5 gal) into the ten. I won't be doing this anytime soon probably not until next year but I want to know as much as possible.
Please and thank you for your help! I'm really excited to do this but I don't want to mess it up!!
2 AnswersFish8 years agoWhy did this betta die?
So my friend had a betta fish and it died Saturday. She usually comes to me about her fish problems because I know more about them than she does, I've had m fish for over a year now and have 2 betta. Anyway, she recently bought a 5.5 gallon tank for her betta, she did not cycle it, and after about month the water got cloudy or milky looking and she said he was getting fin rot (i didn't see fin rot but the tank was cloudy) she went to petsmart and they told her to completely clean the tank and wait a week and put him back in. I have this stuff to put in my tank that makes it to where you don't have to cycle the tank if you have to for some reason change the water 100% like I did when moving my fish from maryland to TN, from home to the dorm etc. I always use the same filter to help set up a cycle but still use that liquid I have. I have NEVER had any problems and have had the oldest one for over a year now. He's never been sick, never had fin rot or anything.
I lent her some of the liquid for the new water and siad she could put him in right away but she was gonna wait like the petsmart guy said but the problem with that is, while he's waiting to be put in the new water he's still in the old water and he died Saturday and she was going to put him in monday.
So is the white cloudy water that killed her fish? My tank has never been cloudy so I didn't really know what to tell her and I couldn't tell her what it was. Any opinions would be appreciated.
She had also had her fish over a year so could he have been old? She is really set on saying it wasn't old age but the water and we don't know what exactly happened. So...
THanks.
3 AnswersFish8 years agoDoes my boyfriend go home too much??? (10 Pts)?
Hey! So I entered college last year and also met my boyfriend of 10 months and I think he goes home too much and it bothers me when he goes home. He goes home nearly every month for a weekend or a few days etc. He's 21, turning 22 next week, has an apartment here, where college is, but still goes home every single month. OCCASIONALLY he will skip a month and not go home but that's maybe once or twice a year. I know he's REALLY close to his brother but it just makes me mad.
He just went home this weekend to help his brother move into his new house and I asked him if he wanted to come with me to Maryland (where I'm from we are in Tennessee now and his family is in North carolina) to see my friends there, over fall break which is in October. I haven't been to Maryland in a year! But he said he was gonna go help his brother again with his house (which he would already be moved into by then) so I told him that and he said if he doesn't need help I guess I'll go. I just feel like his brother is WAY more important than I am and it just pisses me off.
DO you think he goes home too much? Do you think I'm being unreasonable for feeling this way and wanting him to spend fall break with me? We've talked about the trip to maryland before and said I should go with him over fall break and go to maryland some other time but tha's not really fair.
3 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoBirthday for my Boyfriend!!!?
Hey! So my boyfriends birthday is on September 23rd and originally the plan was I would take him out to Mexican (he wanted to go eat Mexican real bad) along with a bunch of friends from college. He also does Iaido and I was going to buy him a new Iaito which would have been about $60 - $200. BUT there was a mess up with my financial aid, and I had to spend all my extra money on some on a vet and shoeing bill for my horse and a few other things that added up. I know I have 13 dollars. :(
SO my question is do you have any ideas what I can do for him? The last few times we've had holidays I'd usally make stuff and he's always liked it. I have a couple Ideas what I could do but I want to do more. Any ideas???? Please I want to do what I can for him even though I have no money!
Here are some of his interest
Iaido
Kung Fu
Legend of Zelda (video game nerd a little bit)
He loves the color green
His favorite band is MGMT
His favorite food is Chinese
His major is biology so he loves cool animals and insects and science in general.
2 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoMy betta's flare a LOT!!!!?
Alright so please bare with me. Here is the situation.
I had my 1st betta, Goku, in a ten gallon tank at college with me. Over summer break I got a second betta and put him in my old 5 gallon tank. Then I had to go back to college and we are only allowed a maximum of 10 gallons in the dorm room so they are currently in a divided tank. They've been like this since August 16th so almost 1 month is. I cannot figure out how to make the divider completely blocked. They can see each other. I've tried putting in more plants and I don't know where I can buy moss around where I am at. Literally nearly all day they are just flaring at each other. Goku is older than mars by at least a year and I'm worried this is taking a HUGE toll on him, more than mars (my 2nd betta).
I need to know if this can kill them or really hurt them? If it really is that bad fort them then I'm going to give Mars to my boyfriend (temporarily) and when I get some more money buy a second 5 gallon and just keep them in 2 five gallons instead of 1 10 gallon. So should I do this? I don't have any other options at the moment (money crunch right now) but I'm willing to do what I need to do to make them comfortable.
I did not do the 2 five gallon thing because I already had a 10 gallon and 1 5 gallon and was just trying to save money. I really do care about my fish so please don't be mean this is why I'm asking.
Thanks in advance
3 AnswersFish8 years agoWhy is one of my betta more active than the other?
Hi! I have 2 bettas one Goku and one Mars. They are in a split 10 gallon tank so five gallons for each. It's set up like this because I am in a dorm and the biggest tank I can have is 10. When I'm home they both have seperate tanks. Anyway, I've had Goku for a little over a year now and Mars for about 5 or 6 months. Mars is probably a bit younger than goku and he's a lot more active. Goku has never been that active and I'm just curious as to why. Mars is never not swimming it seems like and goku usually sits in his cave or by his plants. I know goku really likes plants though, I put some more in his tank a few weeks ago and he's already a bit more active. Also he still will flare and when he does swim he swims a good bit but he just doesn't do it very often. Is there a reason why or is it just a personality thing? Is there a way to make him more active? He's really always been on the more docile side so I'm just curious.
1 AnswerFish8 years agoFreshwater Aquarium Plants?!!!?
I recently devided my 10 gallon tank into two 5 gallon for my betta and the divider they can see through. At first they didn't pay much attention to each other but now they'e constantly flaring at each other and I know it stresses them out more than anything. I went to petsmart to buy some plants, I already have anubias and java fern, but I was looking for something that grows taller so it can block the view of each other. I bought two white ribbons and 1 peacock fern and I was reasearching how to plant them only to find out they aren't aquatic plants at all...... Is this true? They can't be kept in water at all? It amazes me pet stores are even allowed to falsly advertise products as semi aqutic or aquatic plants. Are anubias and java fern even aquatic? I normally do research before buying but didn't this time.
So are any of the plants I have do able in a freshwater tank with betta? Is there no way I can keep the plants i just bought in there? I've also heard some people lose their fish soon after putting those plants in.
Also, what kind of plant can I buy to help block the view of each other?
I can't use my other tank because I am in a dorm and can only have a 10 gallon. If there is nothing I can do to keep them from seeing each otehr then worse comes to worse I'll have my boyfriend take one. But I really like my fish so any advice is much appreciated.
1 AnswerFish8 years agoGoing on Vacation, should I leave my light on or off?
So I have two male betta in a 10 gallong tank (seperated of course) with two live anubias plants and two java fern. I just don't know if should leave them on or off. I am worried if I leave them on algae will grow, or the light will get too hot, though I've never had a problem with my lights getting the tank too hot. But I read if you leave the lights off the plants can't photosynthesize and because plants release CO2 at night and oxygen during they they might realease CO2 constabtly which = dead fish.
Please help.
I have a 5 gallon tank with a small light and a 1 gallon tank with a light should I just put my plant in their by themselves and leave the light on? But then I'm worried about the root system.
Thanks in advance.
5 AnswersFish8 years agoSafe 100% water change?
I am moving back to the dorm and have two put my 2 betta in a 10 gallon (with divider). Right now one is in a 10 gallon and 1 in a 5. I can't take the same tank water with me so it will be 100%. This is not the first time I've had to do this but it is the first time putting another fish into it. Will they be safe?
I will be using same filter, gravel and decorations for the first week or 2 in the dorm then I will put in a new filter. Will my fish be safe? Especially the one going into the 10 gallon from the 5? Just want to make sure he survives this. I'm not to worried about the other betta because I've done it before with him but like I said it's always been the same fish not adding a second.
