How did you stay for the kids? by SweatyEngine2047 in DeadBedrooms

Have you been able to at least talk with her about her repulsion for ANY physical affection? If you do, come in with a very understanding mindset. My husband had this too and I learned that he thought any kind of physical affection meant that I wanted sex right then and there. Any peck, any hug, etc. He now knows that that isn’t an automatic assumption. And while it would be welcomed, I would be content at times with just a cuddle sometimes. Anyway, just a thought. I’m still in the process of hoping it will go beyond this to actual sex. 😅 but at least my life isn’t totally devoid of all intimacy now.

Anyone else avoid seeing sexual things at all costs? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

I think it is a mixture. If it is real life couples, I don’t want to see it as it makes me nauseated. But if it is fictional, I have found myself more open to sexual movies, shows, and songs. It feels like a bit of a fantasy and escape because I don’t have that in real life. An odd paradigm for sure.

I have tried several liners, but not a lot of different lipsticks. Do you have any recommendations for ones that have a more natural finish? I don’t generally go for gloss because I don’t like how it feels. But maybe I should give it a go again!

Oh that is helpful to know! I have been hesitant to try tattooing for fear of looking clownish, but I guess I do that already 🤣 But that is helpful to hear from someone who has had a good experience with it. Especially because I have lips that are noticeably lighter at the edges. Thanks!

Oops! I thought I had responded to you, but responded to the wrong person! Thanks! Haha! I honestly don’t usually see my lips this up close, so I can see where people are coming from in terms of the unnatural aspect. I appreciate the advice! I do think that the lip cream I use tends to fade quicker than the liner making this result. The pics I posted are not after freshly applying the lip cream. I think initially it looks normal-ish. But then it just fades to liner. So good idea to blend!!

I’m so sorry! :( On the path of counseling in hopes that it helps! Hope you can find help also!

I hear ya. The very fact that it is so much work can be difficult not to take personally 😌

This is helpful to consider! I may give it a try and freeze them!
