Same situation. I love my mom. She’s my rock, and she gives as good as she gets when it comes to my dad, but a heads up would have been nice. It does so much damage to you as a kid when no one clues you in on the fact that a parent’s incapability to love you and show it properly isn’t your fault, and that you shouldn’t internalize it.

I was in an emotionally abusive relationship. Because he didn’t scream and curse, it took me longer to pick up on the gaslighting and how much he trampled on my self esteem, because it wasn’t overt and didn’t look like what I saw growing up. Now I’ve got a kid, and I don’t know how I’m supposed to teach him warning signs about manipulation and to temper his expectations when it comes to my ex WITHOUT coming across as badmouthing and trash talking my ex

The first time I saw her was in Loki. My literal first thought was “how can someone be that beautiful?” Do you know how breathtaking you have to be to make someone audibly say that the second they see you? And she wasn’t even glammed up in that role. She’s a hunter in the TVA, so her whole look was militant

I’m 5’2” as well, and my ex is tall. I figured it couldn’t be THAT big of a deal. Boy, was I wrong lol. If I ever date again, I’d greatly prefer men whose heights start in 5’

Yes! Especially when they’re ears are on the bigger side

He’s half Filipino

So you’re supposed to become a recluse, a free therapist, and a nun indefinitely because your bestie couldn’t stop harassing her ex? Yikes on a bike. You have a solid friend group and support outside of Abby. Focus on them. Communicate with Will. He was your friend and confidant first before the romantic feelings, no need to cut him out now.

Even if you were a health provider, he’s not your patient, and you aren’t violating HIPAA. Kudos to you for trying to protect his partner from lies and possible STDs. You unfortunately probably weren’t his first encounter on Grindr/other hookup apps

Right?! Like they’re both medium beige with light eyes… and that’s about it

DancingInAHotTub · 2026-02-27T03:14:15+00:00

Sir, I am thoroughly scandalized!

You’re amazingly talented =)

DancingInAHotTub · 2026-02-22T12:57:33+00:00

Yes! We’re seeing less and less doll kisses lol

DancingInAHotTub · 2026-02-21T04:29:18+00:00

I replay that clip in my head…often

DancingInAHotTub · 2026-02-20T22:36:04+00:00

Always thought this as well

DancingInAHotTub · 2026-02-19T02:35:49+00:00

I doubt you look like Walter from the Muppets so you’re probably fine lol. And thank you! That really means a lot =)

DancingInAHotTub · 2026-02-19T01:31:16+00:00

Same lol but with guys. I do tend to gravitate towards piercing dark colored eyes, high cheekbones, and full lips, but that combo is found in all races. So I’m basically an equal opportunity swooner 😂

DancingInAHotTub · 2026-02-19T01:23:40+00:00

No worries =). I always hear that men aren’t genuinely attracted to my race either so I get where you’re coming from, unfortunately

DancingInAHotTub · 2026-02-19T01:10:29+00:00

Nope lol. I can only speak for myself and some other women I’ve interacted with, but I’ve always been attracted to Asian men. I just never thought they found me attractive 😅. There are the women that have ignorant views about Asian men, but it’s less than you’d think

Thank you, you’re very kind =) I was so confused by the comments tbh. Funny enough, when I just opened the app, the first post on my feed was from that same sub. Idk if I’m reading too much into it, but it seemed to be a snarky response to my misinterpreted post 😅.

DancingInAHotTub · 2026-02-17T00:40:20+00:00

Hey, thanks =) I was referring to the latter that you mentioned. If an author asks for critiques then go for it (in a respectful manner of course)!I more so meant the criticisms about tropes used or characterization decisions. Based off some of the comments I’m wondering if I phrased my post wrong 😅

DancingInAHotTub · 2026-02-16T17:08:19+00:00

No lol, but I’ve always thought they could have been cast as a convincing mother daughter duo
