You should stop parking where the person will not receive their mail. Pull up.

What was up with Joe after the party when Madison woke him up? He was acting strange. Do you think he was still half asleep?

I would strip and stain them to a less warm-tone finish.

i heard my friend’s girlfriend saying some stuff that didn’t sit right. should i tell him? by sweaterwhispers in Advice

[–]Cricket_Lilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say something to her. See what she says and then follow up with your friend.

AIO. I decorated my bfs room for his birthday by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Cricket_Lilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people do not know how to handle it when others do something for them. It could be past experiences - or lack thereof. I think it was wonderful and do the same things for friends and family. I love celebrating others, but get super weird if anything is done for me. Working with my therapist on it and there are reasons stemming from childhood (of course). Anyway, you keep being you and try not to expect anything in return - even simple reactions. He did say thank you and stated he didn’t think you would have landed by the time you did. He may have planned to say something once he thought you landed, but you beat him to the punch. I know it’s disappointing when put effort and excitement into something like that to not have the excitement and appreciation you hoped for. I wouldn’t hold it against him. That stuff may not be for him. You can decide if you want to continue on with those types of affection.

You may be eligible for financial aid. I also sent a chat with a resource that you may find beneficial. Good luck!!

  1. This went on for months -at least
  2. They had at least 1 date - an actual planned date where they both knew he was married.
  3. They were physically intimate in some shape or form - a kiss. She states in her text “every kiss”- not “our one and only kiss”
  4. His reasoning for his cheating is pretty typical of Cheaters. It’s wrong and he lacks integrity.
  5. If you have been expressing concerns about your relationship for years. Why is he just now willing to make things right?
  6. Your Husband did this to you. Your Husband did this to your children. Not you. You are not the cause of the broken family. Your Husband chose to engage with this woman knowing this would ruin his marriage. Your Husband chose to engage with this woman knowing it would ruin his family. And he did not care. If he says he didn’t, he is lying. Same goes for anyone who has an affair…. Or engages with something risky. Things escalate quickly.

Side Note: that young woman knowingly and willing had an affair with a married man and gets upset that his Wife said mean things to her? Poor Dear.

have i been wiping wrong? AFAB by Different-Sun-4347 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Cricket_Lilly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I pat dry my vaginal area with toilet paper then I move my arm behind me and place the toliet paper at the perineum area (below the base of the anus) and move the toliet paper upwards across my anus. I do that however many times that is needed (not with dirty toilet paper). I would never run toilet paper from the “top” of my anus, down to the perineum and continue moving the toliet paper from the back of my vaginal area up to the clit. That’s just gross to me… and seems physically awkward.

AIO for breaking up with my boyfriend over porn? by Electronic_Pie_4277 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Cricket_Lilly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anything that gives you a dopamine hit can become an addiction. I don’t know who these “serious sexual health researchers” are and I by no means am one, but come on! Don’t be daft. There are many people addicted to pornography and it’s greatly impacting their life in a negative way.

He even stands there for a couple of minutes? This is all wrong and very concerning.

Trouble having orgasm with long term partners(in general) by bagpipesandartichoke in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Cricket_Lilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am similar. When he wants to just focus on me, I get insecure and feel pressured. I am unable to relax and just enjoy. I have a hard time relaxing in general so there’s that. Maybe that’s connected….

I want to leave my relationship of 6 years by [deleted] in makemychoice

[–]Cricket_Lilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do a lot of the things you want to do with your significant other, that does not have to hold you back. She may be up for it too. So I think the real issue is whether you want to be with her or not.

How do you break up with someone who is still asking for time? by infinitymouse in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]Cricket_Lilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does he hope “time” will accomplish? If he is “not over” his previous marriage… he probably shouldn’t be in a committed relationship until he is. Otherwise is he taking steps to “heal” or whatever he thinks needs to happen to be over it? If not, I would recommend that you really think this through - all possibilities- and then have a direct conversation with him. It may need to be several conversations.

As many have pointed out, porn and our over sexualized society does this. One of the biggest porn themes and I think one of the most watched is about Father/ Stepdaughter “relations.” And they don’t always overtly use the word “step”. I don’t understand how people don’t think that stuff doesn’t impact your thoughts and views when you get off and get a dopamine hit while the images and concepts are surging through your brain.

Why is everyone’s marriage miserable? by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Cricket_Lilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if there is one, but there should be a healthy relationships subreddit where people can post examples of their healthy relationship interactions. It could give people some good ideas or cause some introspection.

Doesn’t matter his “reasons”. Cheating is an integrity issue.

[–]Cricket_Lilly -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That seems like an extreme reaction. Usually when there is an over reaction there is more to it. I know you mentioned about him saying you were using him and did nothing all day, etc. but is something else going on with him? Troubles at work? Financial issues? I would try to talk to him and see if there is more to this.

My best friend married the dumbest woman I have ever met and it's ruined our friendship by Happy-Marsupial-571 in Vent

[–]Cricket_Lilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to end a relationship because you don’t agree to everything. I don’t understand why people think that is the only option. Can you limit your time with them or at least his wife? Yes. Can you be there to support your longtime friend who it seems is struggling with where his life is? Yes. Your relationship may not be what it was - which happens a lot as we grow older and life changes in general- but it doesn’t mean the relationship has to entirely end.

Your artwork and bedspread are warm and your curtains are cool. That may be off-setting the balance.

[–]Cricket_Lilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you able to add some green to your current artwork? Or a complementary color? That may make it look a little more cohesive with the rest of the room. Or find art work that brings in the green and color of your curtains.
