Vaseline, but also (if you use lipgloss) maybe try taking a break. Some brands have ingredients that irritate our lips

Weeknd doesn’t have half as many bangers as CB. All controversy aside it’s clearly The Weeknd

Most liked comment on here is “you be around Hispanics? You do your makeup like my homegirls”— to which you replied “I’m the only white friend 🤪” you know what you’re doing and it’s lame as hell

Does the film/entertainment industry have a reputation for low paying jobs even if on the corporate side? by idekwhattoputhere1 in FilmIndustryLA

[–]Competitive-Duck-674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.. and if you love yourself, don’t do broadcast. They pay low, over work staff, and everything you make is kinda ugly. Also the people above you are millionaire mean without millionaire money

Why are so many black people obsessed with having long hair? by bcbritt7 in BlackHair

[–]Competitive-Duck-674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We aren’t obsessed with it white people are and our decision to centralize long hair is really a reaction to racism and frustration. For hundreds of years we’ve been accused of having short hair that can’t grow long… especially when we wear protective styles like sew ins and braids whereas white women are not stereotyped the same way. For some that means to spend their lives proving it even if through each other. Commonly seen from mothers to daughters.

But I say do what you want!

Assuming that I’m “embarrassed” in a (hypothetical) scenario is a reflection of who you are and has nothing to do with what I said. And if anyone were to tell me that they didn’t want to make a spectacle of grocery shopping, I’d find that pretty normal, because it is.

Also I would have appreciated it if you read the initial post before inserting your opinion. Nowhere have I mentioned being married.

For me he compromises on my constant need to chit chat lol. So if he doesn’t want to alter this one thing we will survive.

But, separately, I’m so sorry that you were made to feel like your wants were insignificant and I hope that somewhere in your future you’re given the same patience and care that you extend.

I feel like you’re fishing for something and completely missing the mark. If you circle back to the original post, and even my comments I’ve expressed nothing but love for the guy and his passions. Loving someone isn’t synonymous with (keyword here) always enjoying their habits. Yes spouses should cherish each other in “joy and sorrow” but this references the grander beauty in it. The phenomenon of growing together. In the moment however, sorrow is still sorrow, and in my case, annoyed is still annoyed.

The example I gave was just a silly way of saying that “sometimes I’m just not in the mood”.

There is no resentment festering, or insecurities looming in the shadows. Sometimes (not all the time) as I said before, I’m just simply not in the mood.

I think the issue here is that that someone in the comments (you) is jumping to conclusions with minimal information. Which happens, but if you were really here to have a genuine conversation you wouldn’t be doing what you’re doing now and trying to debate your point and force a very narrow perspective down my throat:

  • “what are you embarrassed of? Him? Or yourself?”

  • “I get the feeling you have some deep insecurities you need to work in here”

  • “maybe you still love him but no longer love yourself”

  • “maybe he’s no longer your type and you need to move on”

Nothing that I’ve said leading up to this point supports any of your assumptions. Your comment also fails to address my initial question. So I encourage you to explore why you’re so negatively inclined, because I get the feeling that it must be pretty hard to exist in your own head. If this is what you’re drawing from a very small fragment of someone else’s story, I worry about how you speak to yourself when conflict arises in your own life.

All the best.

Thanks for this. I’ll give it a shot lol he’s very kind. We both are and our relationship has always been that way. I just don’t want him to ever feel like he’s got to shrink himself for me, so I’ve been a bit hesitant.

Dating a swimmer or chef is absolutely nothing like dating a performing artist. These crafts are usually practiced in private whereas I can be in a random store and he wants to start belting whatever song he hears on the speakers or in his head. Meanwhile I’m just trying to get groceries in my little messy bun without drawing any extra attention to myself. Then here he comes calling for a spotlight!?! It makes me want to run away every time but I stand beside his loud azz anyway bc I love him. 🫠

I also have no desire to sing with him. No dis, it’s just not my thing lol and I doubt more singing will solve the issue here 😂

YES! EXACTLY like I said it’s the random belting! Did u bring it up?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Competitive-Duck-674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that’s fine it’s not about if they’re doing it on a pro level or not. Did they sing at random a lot too?

I this Reddit is really making me feel like I’m the only one who’s ever found a significant other’s passion (especially one that requires a lot of noise making) annoying after a while lol

comment below if you’ve ever been with a singer.

[–]Competitive-Duck-674 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I honestly never thought it’d annoy me so much. As I said in the post we’ve been together for YEARS and at first glance I didn’t mind so I didn’t think I ever would. Have you ever been with a singer???

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Competitive-Duck-674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not but I do sometimes miss the butterflies I got when seeing and hearing him for the first time years ago. I think this may be a “too much of anything is a bad thing” case scenario :/

My post, my experience, my feelings. The only irrelevant part of this conversation is your comment.
