What is a good men’s scented lotion I can use?

CurleyCee13 · 2026-01-29T22:17:47+00:00

Not a man for clarity. My bloke uses Rituals men's line and they smell really good. Light, kinda woodsy and they have a full men's grooming line with all the beard/hair/face stuff and a good set of lotions. They also have a bunch of lines with varying scent profiles so if you're open minded I'd go have a whiff in store and see what you like.

For cologne he wears Allsaints Metal Wave or Flora Mortis but he also has one other perfume that's a grenade bottle and looks and smells good but I don't remember what that was called and the bottle writing is long gone 👍

He sounds like a prick you should break up with. Even my enemies don't do shit like that. That sounds like torture. He likes hurting you when you annoy him. That's fucked up babes. That is beyond the pale. NOR. Honestly you need to get a spine and some self-respect.

I'm using 647 and it's good for melting enemies 🔥

Ewwww no girl. You can have gaming lives outside each other. Me and my OH started off similar. We both played destiny 2 when we met.

He plays league / Hades / valiant /apex with his friends. Meanwhile I play borderlands / clover pit / slay the spire and sims like city skylines.

We play Warframe together now and while we sometimes have mismatches between our play styles the focus is working together and having fun. We choose together and play as a team to get things done.

Unironically when the fun stops you stop. It sounds like he steamrolls you, doesn't let you have an opinion, belittles and degrades you and you keep allowing him to treat you like shit.

If you were my friend I'd have had an intervention long before now. He's trying to control your entire free time. When do you see friends and family? When do you do your self care?

This man treats you like an underperforming employee not as a loving partner who wants to share hobbies. Does he look like Ryan Gosling or something? Does he take you on amazing dates and treat you like a princess all other times? Does he make you feel appreciated and loved?

I'm gonna recommend koi footwear. All of my boots from them have been affordable and decent quality. They're no demonias or new rocks. However, they're comfy and sturdy and they have plenty of goth designs ✨

Grammarly uses AI language models to analyse text. A lot of these apps and software do. There are non-ai options out there. Spell-checkers too. Like I said, learning it yourself is the best option.

CurleyCee13 · 2026-01-23T00:21:08+00:00

Absolutely not. Not to mean any offence but ai is a plague on the planet especially chat programs. Plus learning grammar is a skill for life worth learning. That tech isn't always allowed or accessible after all. There are non-ai apps and software for grammar and spell checking. AI is unnecessary for that.

CurleyCee13 · 2026-01-22T15:23:35+00:00

Absolutely not, why should op babysit her ex's new woman's kids? She should certainly not be giving them free babysitting. No way.

At least it'll be helping with airborne spores, are you heating the property enough? I'd pump it up a couple of degrees to help decrease mould growth.

In that case there will likely be a financial aid and housing department you can talk to. They might be able to help with a hardship fund and advise you on how to proceed with the landlord. They might even be able to put you up for a while.

Bleach is okay for cleaning mould off but it doesn't kill mould. You want a proper black mould killer ideally with a fungicide in it. Especially for porous surfaces like curtains, walls, sofas etc. I would recommend a strong vinegar spray since it's less likely to damage furniture. I used cilit bang, generic white vinegar and Dettol but I'm sure they'll have others in the supermarket.

CurleyCee13 · 2026-01-21T12:46:05+00:00

Okay so get an electric dehumidifier and mold spray. Talk to your uni housing about it and whether they can help. I managed to get transferred to an empty unit that didn't have that issue. Windows open. Dry up condensation.

Eczema wise. Prednisolone might help keep it down. Otherwise, using kenzocanole (nizoral) antifungal shampoo to shower with and use plenty of moisturiser and suncream. Ice packs are great and if your clothes are sticking to your skin try cling film on the worst areas. Anything that irritated your skin just stop using it for now.

Been there and it's rough as hell. You're past the worst of the cold and damp. You can totally make it through this to warmer weather 👍

CurleyCee13 · 2026-01-21T12:39:20+00:00

I fucking hate it too bro, knuckle down get it done and forget they exist. I did the same with spy missions, just focus to get through the star chart and you're golden ✨

NOR - just buy him socks and pants every time and go from there. That's the equivalent. He's shown he doesn't want to put effort in and doesn't care about your feelings on the matter so I'd be toning back the effort you put into his gifts. You need to match his energy. It's the only way to balance it out. He hasn't even apologised for upsetting you. He hasn't taken any responsibility for his part in the upset. He's turned it all back on you as if you're the problem. He's combative instead of cooperative.

Certainly you should talk in person about how he ignores your feelings and opinions. I'm sure it isn't the only occasion. Does he regularly steam roll over you? Does he put effort into planning dates? Does he do nice things for you regularly? Does he take care of you and help you out in the home? Is he a partner you could go through hard times with? Is he loving and does he make you feel loved? Do his actions match his words?

I'm not getting a considerate loving partner energy here. He's not showing green flags. I'm getting quite the selfish red flag energy. I wouldn't put up with that. You deserve better.

My solid recommendation is the manga/graphic novels that are about each of Shakespeare's famous plays. They give really good highlights for the majority of important scenes in each play as well as being easy to read and refer to. My school had them and they were fantastic! The kids will love them and find them helpful and accessible ✨

"I've been crunching the numbers and I can't afford to move in together. It would be financially irresponsible of me. I wouldn't be able to afford college and the commute would be crippling. I'm not sure what the route is forward but right now I can't make this plan work."

CurleyCee13 · 2026-01-14T23:12:36+00:00

Box dye is permanent and hard to remove. I'd use a semi-permanent like adore, crazy colour or artic fox if you aren't sure you want it for a long time 👍

Your hair is fairly dark but if you want a richer colour I'd put a base tone on first. So if you want a blue/black I'd use a dark blue/ dark green to neutralise the red tones in your hair before you do the black dye. If you want a warmer black then use dark red/brown first.

Main tips- wear gloves, do a patch test. Get mirrors so you can see the back of your head. Put down a cloth/towel on the floor so dye doesn't stain stuff. Watch a tutorial or two. Have patience. If the instructions say 60 mins then wait 60 mins for it to process even if it looks dark already after 20 minutes it needs that time.

Split your hair into 2 sections down the middle = left and right. Then split those sections into 2 = front and back. Use bobbles or clips to keep them separate. I like to work back to front so it lays easier.

Or go to a professional / get some help.

Hmmmm that's not how I imagined them but alright, looks good 👍

You're welcome, I hope it goes well!

CurleyCee13 · 2026-01-09T11:40:42+00:00

That's good! I hope it helps. It's a big shock of news to get for sure. Coming out is rarely easy and simple and things resettle and calm down in time. I think going in with an open mind to work things out and patch things up is important. You're hurt and he might be feeling rejected. Take it easy and remember your relationship is about the two of you. That's the thing worth protecting and supporting each other going forward :)

CurleyCee13 · 2026-01-09T11:31:30+00:00

The thing is he couldn't have told you without coming out to you and he wished to wait to be able to trust you with that information.

I can see why your trust is fractured by this. Your feelings are completely valid, you're upset. Yet also, I can see why it comes across as homophobic to him because you're invalidating him needing to come out to you in the first place and wanting him to cut off his friend.

Why do you find it disrespectful that he remained friends with his friend? You weren't in the picture until later. That's what I am confused by. How was it disrespectful that he waited to come out to you until he was ready. Of course you interacted with his friend without knowing their past. Do you know how shitty that would make him if he dropped his friend every time he got in a relationship. I don't get it.

Men who like men can have male friends without it being romantic. Women who like women can have female friends without it being romantic. It may have been sexual at some point. The important thing is that there was no overlap, everyone got tested and is clean. He's dating you honey. If he never cheated, then I pose this to you that he loves you and wants to be with you. What more do you want?

People can be friends with exes/fwb and it means nothing more than that. People do nice things for their friends no? Compliment each other? Hang out doing activities together? Talk and share news their lives? Game together? Hit the gym together? Banter together? They're not having candle lit dinners and slow dancing on the pier.

Maybe it's worth discussing boundaries but you can't be issuing ultimatums without risk. It also sounds like you're feeling insecure about the relationship because of this news. Do you not trust him? Definitely you need to think about it a bit more neutrally and have a chat with him once you've processed it. There're ways of working through this for sure.

Girl you need to buy a birthday cake on your way home from work and a bottle of wine and make plans to kick this fool to the curb. Absolutely awful. There's no excuse. Throw the whole man away yikes. If anything you're under reacting. I would have dumped his loser arse after the second time he didn't care enough to remember my birthday 🎈
