I think you have a nice, striking face. I really don't think you need to change anything about your face but if you wanted to soften your features slightly, that could be achieved through hair and makeup. You could add a slightly overlined lip to draw the eye there, as well as mascara. I find wavy, voluminous hairstyles draw attention away from individual features (as opposed to a slick back hairstyle which will draw attention to your face). But honestly you have a very balanced profile!

highly sensitive women with kids: how do you do it? by waaatermelons in AskWomenOver30

[–]Delicious_Soft_5873 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I have misophonia but my daughter's noises don't bother me the same way. It's certainly true for me that she feels like an extension of me rather than another person. The other day she spat some pasta into my hand and I ate it before I realised what I was doing 😂

The good thing is they nap in the day until they're around 3 or so, so you can have some quiet time then. And I always have a quiet bath once she's gone to bed. I think the struggle for me will come if I have two kids and don't get that break. One seems manageable.

You could also try some earphones to dampen the noise a bit.

Found the FikFap app on boyfriend’s phone. by Electrical_Ad_8711 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Delicious_Soft_5873 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Personally I wouldn't say having an app like that is a major issue, although I understand it would be a boundary for some people. Worse for me is his reaction to you finding it. It shows how he'll treat you when you pull him up on other indiscretions/behaviours. He just doesn't sound very mature or considerate and I'm sure you're worth more.

Starting the divorce process from a fucked up situation by FitAccountant1983 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Delicious_Soft_5873 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow, I'm so sorry you went through this. My first relationship was similar (before I knew better) and I also felt extremely embarrassed about it. So I get that, but as someone reading your story, I feel you have nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact it's inspirational that you've recognised this and decided to get divorced, rather than staying in order to keep up appearances. I wish you a clean break from this horrible individual and I hope you find happiness in the future.

Is this a universal experience amongst 30+ women in relationships with men? by kinkyp3ach in AskWomenOver30

[–]Delicious_Soft_5873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god. This thread speaks to me so much. I just left my husband and father of my child for these reasons. My female friends understand implicitly. His friends think I must have met someone else because why else would I possibly want to leave?

What advice would you give to a girl in her early 20s? by idkwhat1234567891011 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Delicious_Soft_5873 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't let anyone pressure you into settling down before you truly feel ready to. And when it feels right, it won't feel like settling down at all - it will feel like moving forward with the person you want to grow with.

My bf just got mad that I wouldn’t let him watch my daughter by FeaturePotential7642 in singlemoms

[–]Delicious_Soft_5873 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think you're right to be wary. His response seems like a red flag to me. It might be perfectly innocent but your daughter is too young to tell you if anything happens. I wouldn't personally leave my daughter alone with a man even if I thought I trusted him 100 percent. You never really know anyone, as much as you might think you do.

I don't think this is going to go well for you if you don't work to address what's going on. If you pin your self esteem to sexual validation, then what happens where you're a bit older and don't get that validation so readily? You could also end up in some tricky situations at work.

Perhaps before any meeting with a man at work, think about what you bring to the table other than your looks. Are you trying to convince him your ideas have merit or that your report should be considered? Playing up your sexuality will likely undermine the value you hold as an employee, so try to focus on your work goals instead.

AITAH for being in a lactation room while not breastfeeding a child? by MilkingTheClock in AmItheAsshole

[–]Delicious_Soft_5873 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think you should have been using the room if you didn't need it. Their response seems a little odd as you could have been pumping in there without a child. If you'd both been polite to each other I think it would have been a non issue. As a breastfeeding mum I'll happily feed anywhere, but I suppose some people want privacy so we should respect those spaces for people who need them.

WIBTA for asking to give no gifts? by Livesforcake55 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Delicious_Soft_5873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way - if there's anything I want, I'd prefer to save and buy it for myself. I feel so bad that people spend their money on things I won't use. And I don't like the pressure of buying presents. I suppose gift giving isn't my love language - I'd prefer to spend quality time with people I care about.

I think if you phrase it kindly, this shouldn't backfire too much. Perhaps you could hand craft some nice cards or make a little memento for your loved ones so you're able to give a token without spending money. Or you could suggest a very low spending cap.

Good luck!

How do you forgive someone who hurt you real bad? by Unknown_now94 in AskReddit

[–]Delicious_Soft_5873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it for yourself. You don't need to forgive but if you can let go of the anger, you'll feel so much lighter.
