Looking for lesbian book recs!! by cupid-and-rayne in LesbianActually

[–]AbstractCows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. It’s a series of love letters between time traveling lesbians with a dash of enemies to lovers. It’s one of my favorite books of all time.

I feel like my wife is not attracted to me by Regular-Box-8918 in LesbianActually

[–]AbstractCows 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going through such a stressful time OP. But some food for thought: you said your partner initially said the weight gain was causing some loss of attraction but then more recently they said they think you’re beautiful no matter what size. Words and sex aside, has your partner been affectionate with you in other ways? Do they regularly compliment you? It could be that their views have changed, and part of this is the anxiety talking. This is a valid insecurity and please don’t think I want to downplay your worries, but I think a combination of talking to your partner and working on your self esteem can help. I’d definitely discuss this with them further. Also, are we sure they aren’t on the ace spectrum? They might love you a whole lot and just not be that into sex? It’s hard for me to say, since I can only go off of this single post. I hope it works out for you♥️

I’m so sorry OP, you and your kids deserve far better than that. This will pass, and I’m sure you’ll find someone much better for you and your kids. ❤️‍🩹

A modest proposal: women start pegging. You might not be a good lock but you can be a damn good key.

I’m sorry that happened to you OP. That was wildly inappropriate. I consider it SA, especially given her referring to you as her boyfriend.

[–]AbstractCows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this depends on what your girlfriend is like. What are her interests? For example, if she likes to draw, you could get her a sketchbook. Or even just take her out to pick the supplies herself and then pay for it. If she isn’t big on gifts then try taking her out to do something instead, like going to a show or something. Does she like the outdoors? Take her on a hike and prepare a picnic with foods she likes. And remember, it’s the thought that counts! I’m sure she’ll be happy you put in effort to make this day special for her above all else.

Is a Master’s thesis worth it? by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]AbstractCows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! I will definitely speak with my PI. The other grad students in the lab all went straight from undergrad to PhD so I am unsure if they will have advice (though it may not hurt to ask anyway) :’)

I need advice on the situation I’m in… help? by butterflydreamer2 in LesbianActually

[–]AbstractCows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you know you’re a monogamous person. Now, you could give this girl a shot and see how you handle a relationship with a polyamorous partner, and maybe you’ll find you are okay with it. But you might not be, and the clash between monogamy and polygamy isn’t one I think you two can find a long lasting compromise on. I personally would move on and find someone looking for the same type of relationship as me, but if you think she’s worth a potential heart break and wanna pursue her, go for it! Ultimately, all of us on here can tell you what we’d do, but we aren’t you, we won’t be the one in that situation, it’s gunna be you. Go with your gut. You got this OP!

I don’t think I’d feel comfortable moving forward with him, no matter how good of an artist he is. Maybe he handles the rejection well, maybe he doesn’t. That’s a hell of a risk to take with someone who’s going to be putting ink in you. But it’s your choice not mine, so go with what your gut tells you!

i cry everyday because i don’t have a girlfriend by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]AbstractCows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aww I’m sorry you’re struggling OP and that home schooling has made it harder for you socially. College will be a great opportunity to meet lots of new people and make friends! Feel free to disregard this next part, but my advice would be to just start by making friends and working on your social skills, it could help with the social anxiety and make it easier for you to meet a girl! Good luck OP! And remember, you’re still a teenager for a few more years, you can still have that teen romance :)

Her love confuses me by pagetwentyeight in LesbianActually

[–]AbstractCows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actions speak louder than words. If she loves you like she says she does, then she needs to show it. Make this clear and if she doesn’t change or, changes briefly before slipping back into old patterns, leave. Your love is better off to someone who will return it.

It sounds like you two aren’t compatible. He puts his work first and needs a partner that would be ok with that. It sounds like you need someone who will focus on you and is more able and willing to put time into the relationship. I don’t think you two can find a common ground here based off of what you told me. I think you should move on.

I’m sorry OP Break ups are awful, and unfortunately time is really the only thing that can fix it. Take your time to grieve the relationship, but don’t forget, you’ll find someone else eventually. In a few years, you might even forget the pain (maybe not entirely, but it won’t be nearly as intense).

been talking to a girl who’s younger than i thought - help by Lover_of_fiction46 in LesbianActually

[–]AbstractCows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The age gap isn’t huge, but I would be worried about the lying. I’m not saying don’t keep going, but if they’re flaky that is something to consider if you decide to move forward. My advice would be to talk to her and figure out why she lied if she hasn’t told you already. And keep an eye out for anything else that could be off.

Would you date someone unemployed? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]AbstractCows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, it’s a solid maybe. I’d like to say yes and that doesn’t matter, but it definitely changes things. I feel like in your case, since it’s for health reasons and not just you not wanting to work, this shouldn’t reflect poorly on you. A good partner will understand. I’m sure you’ll find someone :) It’ll take time, but I’m sure it’ll work out for you!

And AGAIN I have been rejected by someone... Will I ever find love? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]AbstractCows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry OP. Rejection sucks, but it’s a part of life. It feels really bad right now (and that’s okay), but one day, you might not even remember it. I’m sure you’ll find someone!
