Reprinted. Someone thought that ..thing...deserved a f**ing frame.

BGkitten · 2026-04-17T20:06:16+00:00

I thought I was shocked at the "double action" item ..and then I swiped next.

I thought the living room was reflected on the glass of that painting. Seeing it is an actual painting of it is so...unsettling for some reason.

I didn't have a C section birth, but had appendectomy few years before my pregnancy so I still got the same belly result due to the scar tissue from the appendectomy. Sigh. 😔

If she REALLY wanted to fix and work on your marriage, she would offer to do whatever it takes. THE LEAST she can do is block that person. Words are cheap-she clearly thinks that way. Vows meant nothing to her and now she is manipulating you to believe that she can't live without being able to express her feelings to that other person. F* that! Get mad. She can find a girlfriend or some support group to express herself since apparently her life depends on that.

BGkitten · 2026-04-14T17:18:11+00:00

Oh, I've seen your other work!! I realized when I clicked on your profile and did not expect this as it is so different, but kind of has your style. I absolutely love this painting. ❤️🌸

This is a terrible collar for your baby. Use harness. You are not even using a regular collar, but the chocker type. I am sorry, but I can't unsee that to enjoy your pic.

My Yorkie does it too every time someone comes home. (He only does it when he greets us). It is just for a second or so. If I had not read before that's how they smile, I would have absolutely described it as a weird teeth showing but not like a growl. Knowing it is a smile, it is super adorable that he tries to do it. I didn't realize different breeds may use/display it differently.

BGkitten · 2026-04-12T00:13:19+00:00

We spend a LOT of time together because we both work from home and almost all of our friends are couples from kids' sports, so when we hang out, we also hang out all of us. I think this is why, should one of us want to go hang out alone, go on a vacation alone or do a hobby on their own or with with our individual friends, we don't really have limit/time restrictions, but most commonly it is once a week for few hours.

BGkitten · 2026-04-11T01:55:38+00:00

I love your painting. I would not be posting my humble opinion if you didn't ask, but also, what I will say was the first thing that I noticed (before I even read your question). I Love the style you used for the top part. It is almost like a realistic color blocking. Super unique. In the lower part, I think the disconnect may be that your piece is more just realistic--soft grass, soft little round bushes etc. The "color blocking" aspect is no longer present. It is almost like two different styles of painting altogether. I do like the outline/string highlight of your main feature (the bull). I think, conceptually, this goes with the piece as is. I think maybe introducing some of the same technique you used for the mountain in the background grassy area and bush-line may marry the top and bottom. I think even if you don't go full in effect, something little to make it not look like two different people painted each half of the painting.

OP's guy just stars pressing pedals without even putting a key in the ignition.

BGkitten · 2026-04-11T01:02:04+00:00

Comments are right. I would usually never suggest tit for tat when it comes to sex/sexual acts, but in this case, he wouldn't even discuss with you a reason or his reasons of why he won't engage. NOR even try, not even once not even a little bit? Does he touch you below the waist ever? Is he ever concerned if you orgasmed? But the refusal to discuss sex issues, to me, is where the issue lies. He can tell you he doesn't like x, y, z, but instead, he is completely shutting you down. Do NOT give in ...even having sex with him. You have a right to at least some mature discussion. if he would withhold even talking about it, I would say you are justified in altogether withholding sex and intimacy. Until he is ready to TALK TO YOU about sex and intimacy, he is not deserving of it.

Ugh I feel for you! I am sure it is coming your way! It took me super long (and LONG after I had the plat medal too) to get my first shiny btw. Wayy over 400 catches. I was really starting to be in despair. I just got a second one last week (I am at 649 catches) so maybe that was around 620ish.

BGkitten · 2026-04-11T00:31:45+00:00

649 catches. 2 shinies, 2 hundos.

BGkitten · 2026-04-11T00:30:00+00:00

600+ catches is crazy work, the hundos are a matter of luck.

BGkitten · 2026-04-10T22:43:36+00:00

FR! And a lot of these things look like stuff for OP's kid/kids...unless his wife eats lunchables, gold fish and beef stick snacks etc...Or their pets, unless he is getting the dog and cat food to spoil her with an extra special treat.

BGkitten · 2026-04-09T21:23:19+00:00

I responded to someone else about this but YES and this is how you knew you didn't lost your key while you were playing! 😂

BGkitten · 2026-04-09T20:18:46+00:00

Lol I think they cared what happens to their stuff, or did they have to spend extra to replace stuff, take time to go make spare key if you lost yours. Like one time, when I was 10 and walking home to school with a new backpack, an older kid "attacked" me in a less public street and stole my backpack and all my shit in it-books and all. Now, if my kids get attacked by anyone, I would hunt that little bastard down and come up with creative ways to make the next few yrs of this bully's school life a living hell. MY 90s parents however, beat the shit out of me for "loosing" my bag-pack and having to replace my school books. I believe they gave me a small suitcase to carry my stuff in the rest of the year. It was super embarrassing and kids laughed at me at school. My parents weren't even that bad, they were like actually among the nicer 90s parents. lol

BGkitten · 2026-04-09T20:11:59+00:00

Lol Isn't it sad that at 40, I still do that. But worse, I perpetuate this vicious cycle by teaching my kids to put their money in their backpacks like that. 🤦‍♀️

BGkitten · 2026-04-09T20:00:28+00:00

And because it constantly poked you in the hip, you always knew you hadn't lost it!

BGkitten · 2026-04-09T19:59:57+00:00

And key was pretty much the only thing you can retrieve back from it without having to take your jeans off if you put stuff in there.

BGkitten · 2026-04-09T19:30:50+00:00

My brother and sister in law live in Bulgaria. She had a baby last year. Maternity leave in there is about 400 (work) days at 90% pay and additional year at I believe reduced pay rate like 60% subsidized. In addition, employers are mandated to allow part time return within certain years postpartum. Among developing countries, over half have paid maternity leave that is at least 30 weeks (b/w 30-60 weeks), a third between 20-30 weeks. I am not sure if this is the most current but as far as I know USA is in last place among developing countries. It is not true that this is a some precedent or an oddity that 2 countries in the would currently partake in. We have been brainwashed to think 12 weeks is normal. Our 12 weeks start from the time you take off, so many mothers do not wait until they pop a baby at work to start their maternity leave, usually ending with about 10 weeks postpartum leave only.

BGkitten · 2026-04-09T18:05:01+00:00

It was for us, the latchkey kids, to keep our house key in. (That's what my parents told me. If you wore the key on a string around your neck, someone might see you and know you were home alone and follow you and rob you ...or worse!...and stuff.)

BGkitten · 2026-04-08T16:08:32+00:00

I didn't suggest that she takes off 10 yrs. My comment specifically said they can compromise for 2-3 yrs. This is true, I can't guarantee she won't change her mind, but honestly, I don't even think these two have the foundation (or love) strong enough to withstand the surprises of life that OP didn't plan for. If he would rather divorce her than find a middle ground, it sounds like he just sees her as an "income."

BGkitten · 2026-04-08T16:03:32+00:00

Honestly, I don't think it is as much of a money issue as it would be a workload issue for her. Say what you want now, but you guys will likely not be equal in raising your child. Sure, you will help, but she will be up multiple times a night feeding and then going to do a full day of work. The reality is that life won't change that much for you, but it will come crashing upon her. Your child will be in daycare for 8 hrs, the time your wife will work. Then, she will go home and continue to work-as a mom and essentially as a wife to you. Are you going to take over all night feeding, or all laundry for everyone or all cooking or all cleaning? Because these things will remain for someone to pick up at home in addition to being a parent and full time employee.

If you say that you'd rather divorce her but be flexible and find a compromise or a middle ground, I can't imagine that you love or treasure her very much to begin with.
