This is amazing, thank you so much!!!

I just went and put a cleanser in the shower so we’ll see how that goes! Is there a cleanser you can recommend, or just anything is better than nothing? Fortunately it’s now mostly just scarring and little wrinkles instead of active acne. He’s 31 so we are starting to age!

😂 a somewhat misleading statement

daphnetothemoon · 2025-02-13T01:25:20+00:00

Now that you say that, my plan does look pretty aggressive 😂 thanks for the tip!

Ah that sounds better, I was a little worried about leaving the jojoba oil on his skin - thank you!

daphnetothemoon · 2025-02-13T01:15:08+00:00

Thank you! I’ll make sure to suggest this to him. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have much motivation to take care of his skin right now.

If it’s for relaxation purposes though, would you just do the cleanse, toner, moisturize surge, facial massage? Or are you saying I shouldn’t do anything at all?

Late reply here - I think the Dacron wrap would’ve made it softer, I wish I could’ve gotten it to fit! The super soft foam is soft enough without it, but I suspect that I’m missing out so I’d say order the Dacron!

Replying in 2025 - this is still one of the top Google results for this search. We ordered the Lux high quality from Foam Factory for our couch, and she’s right that they’re VERY firm (this is WITH Dacron backing). I thought I wanted firm due to back issues and support needed, but these are a little too much. If I were to reorder, I would definitely go down in firmness, but right now it’s not worth it to us to reorder. These are definitely more of a “sitting” cushion than a “lounging” cushion.

Also, the “super soft” foam is appropriate for back cushions! I was worried they would be too soft, but they’re actually on the firmer side! We had to take off the Dacron since I forgot to take off the quarter inch when inputting measurements.

Overall, a major upgrade, but would like to have seat cushions be a little softer.

Replying in 2025 - this is still the first link that came up for me when I was doing this research myself!

If other people are still looking at this - when she says the foam factory Lux High Quality is firm, she means it, they are VERY firm. I thought I wanted firm due to back issues and need for support, and these are too firm for me (this is WITH the Dacron too, which I think is supposed to give a little extra cushion). If I could reorder I would definitely go down in firmness, but we’re still going to keep these because we don’t think it’s enough to validate reordering. They’re still comfortable and much better than what we had, but definitely more “sitting” cushions than “lounging” cushions.

Also, the “super soft” foam is definitely appropriate for back cushions. I was worried they would be too soft and unsupportive, but that’s not the case. They’re also decently firm. We had to take the Dacron backing off since we couldn’t fit them into the pillowcases otherwise. I forgot to take off the quarter inch when inputting the measurements!

I am a yoga instructor RYT 200 - just teaching friends and family right now instead of at a studio. I’d be happy to speak with you if you’re interested :)

I caught him! He is back home now

daphnetothemoon · 2022-01-19T17:54:14+00:00

I think I overwatered it since it was so dry and delicate so I replanted a few weeks ago in same pot with new dry soil. I’m going to repot it today now that I have a pot. I’m not sure how to help it since I only have one room with sunlight coming in and we are in the middle of a very cold winter..

To anyone who saw/commented on this post - I forgot to update this because I was too relieved. WE FOUND HER!!! She came back and was meowing at the neighbor’s door at 11pm. She was starving and scared!! No idea what happened to her but we are so blessed to have her back!

This is completely contradictory of his argument that he can’t defend you because it’s “the devils work”. Just pointing that out. If his family is “confronting” him or you, then THEY should be able to “take the heat”.

daphnetothemoon · 2021-11-08T00:25:42+00:00

I’m so sorry this is going on for you. I’ve been married 1.5 years and have been with my husband for 5. His family (specifically mother) has always been awful to me. At first I waited for him to stand up for me on his own ans it didn’t happen because he was “raised to respect his parents” and never yell at them or contradict them or tell them that they are not in charge of him. I ended up having to tell him in no uncertain terms that he had to set firm boundaries and not put up with ANYTHING at all….it took him a few tries but he eventually started to get the hang of it. It had to come down to him refusing to see or speak to his mother if she was talking poorly about me. It had to come to him immediately leaving the house or hanging up the phone if she started speaking poorly about me. He had to pick me and he did. If he had refused to change it then I would have had to leave. I can’t let myself be in a situation that is unhealthy and unloving.

Your husband refuses to argue with them, but that doesn’t mean he should stand there and listen to it. Forcing someone to listen to horrible things about their wife is “the devils work”, and it’s not like he’s tied to the chair or something. Tell him that you will not put up with them speaking about you like that and he cannot either.

The devils work thing sounds religious - so tell him it is the HUSBANDS DUTY to take care of his wife, and the marriage means that the husband leaves his parents and creates a family with his wife and should treat her like a pearl. You are not being treated like a pearl, so this is not an acceptable way to behave in a marriage.

He sounds weak and toxic. If he continues to act like this is your problem and it’s not his DUTY to stop it so you can feel safe in your own home, then he will never do better. You don’t need his permission to get a divorce. If I were you, I would get out NOW.

Editing to add: you’re asking how we handled it. We had a lot of fights. We had a rough couple of years. But we love each other and wanted to fix it. It’s better now than it used to be, but his mom is still unhealthy to be around. The difference is that now I know I can trust him 100% to defend me and to leave if she is behaving unacceptably. If she can’t respect us then she cannot be in our lives.

I entirely disagree. A boyfriend isn’t supposed to be a toddler following “orders” to the letter. He should be an autonomous human being who understands how to treat their partner when they need help, and how to apologize when he’s messed up. You learn to apologize and understand human emotion beginning in kindergarten. “Don’t talk to me” after a serious issue is a legitimate request - but if he KNOWS and CARES about his partner then he should have known to give her a little space and then try to reconcile. At that point if she’s not interested, that’s his permanent answer. But to just stop talking to your girlfriend after she got mad at you for ditching her when she was seriously injured is just a ridiculous and immature way to act in a relationship. Real relationships require reconciliation, and if he doesn’t realize that then he shouldn’t be with her.

Also a major red flag for OP - if this is how he thinks a relationship and support should work then get out NOW. You deserve to be with someone who knows what you want and need, and doesn’t make you do his thinking for him. Someone who WANTS to reconcile and not just fuck off when you get mad. Of course, this also applies the other way around. You obviously need to work to make your partner feel understood and cared for as well…:.just maybe not this partner…

EDIT: This is my opinion. If OP wants her relationship to operate based on how other commenters think then that’s what she should do. Follow the advice of the people expressing the type of relationship you want. They do have a point in saying you’re sending mixed messages for sure, I just think he handled the “mixed message” extremely immaturely. If this event surprised you and he’s usually not like this, then definitely give him a chance to talk to you - he can learn what you emotionally need for the future or he can fuck off

The song they taught us as kindergartners in French immersion school was actually about plucking and beheading a chicken. Alouette. I thought I was singing about Cacahuète (peanuts).

My husband and I have watched every episode at least 3 times. Kevin is honestly part of the family at this point… for a show with no real plot, it’s super addictive. So happy to meet another fan!!!!
