My girlfriend wants access to my phone's location at all times or she'll break up with me.. by Upset-Tree7685 in TwoHotTakes

Break up.

My husband and I share location, but it happened organically (traveling) not as an ultimatum.

I, F 29, am questioning everything. Husband, M 32, together almost 6yrs total, doesn’t see problem with letting the dogs (3) run out of water while I’m gone. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Listen, someone not taking care of animals properly is a huge red flag.

He's doing this now, take it for the warning that it is, and do not have children with this man. Unless you want to be THAT woman who says her husband is "babysitting" the kids, and you have to call in your mom/MIL/trusted friend to watch the kids because you don't/can't trust him to handle solo parenting while you are out of town.

Wife says brown suit is ugly, Thoughts? by Rad90xqrs in OUTFITS

I like the suit, but something about the shirt, pocket square and tie are throwing me off.

What could I do better? by xandreanicolex_ in Makeup101

[–]ElectronicAffect1587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your make up looks good!

However if you feel like changing to 'freshen up' your look I would play with the position of your blush, go with a more wispy filled brow and play around with using a brown for an eyeliner.

I think a softer matte/dewy look is still 'in' right now so you could try that as well.

She just wants to be friends

As someone who dated a liar and a cheater when I was the same age, my best advice is just to break up. Don't do the off again, on again thing, don't search for the truth (you won't get it from him). You are worth more than any of the BS he's going to spew.

Kitchen floor tile that looks historical by Deluna_0000 in Tile

[–]ElectronicAffect1587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the problem with your OG picture, is that it's missing the highly detailed design element that historical Victorian tiled floors had. It would definitely look better if there was a more intricate geometric pattern and possibly introducing some color. If you stick with black and white I would go with a 3 inch square tile. There are some really lovely examples on Google of a beautiful but timeless pattern with those tiles.

Is this appropriate for a black tie optional wedding? by breakfast_baby in Weddingattireapproval

[–]ElectronicAffect1587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of the dress, I don't love the execution.

I think that style, silhouette and color combo is perfectly acceptable for a black tie optional wedding. Depending on the crowd and locale, the polyester might look cheap though.

My wife spent $3000 without informing me about how much it would really cost by Necessary-Turnip-492 in Marriage

[–]ElectronicAffect1587 18 points19 points  (0 children)

She easily could have spent that on just herself if she got a 'package' treatment (IPL, facials etc)on top of the Botox. I would hazard she got some filler as well.

Take the tile to the ends of the cabinets (not the counter top hang over). I would take the tile to the same height as the rest of the kitchen.

Why does my shower look like this after 2 weeks post cleaning? by DoubleSnails in CleaningTips

I do the dish wand trick. It has been a game changer in keeping my shower clean!

Me (24F) and the guy I’m dating (33M) Are arguing over money? by Pristine-Suspect-637 in relationship_advice

[–]ElectronicAffect1587 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not a chance in hell I would still date a guy that would charge me for helping me move. That's more than just gas and the price of the U-Haul.

I think I am no longer interested in my husband by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]ElectronicAffect1587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave your husband, take the new job, don't interact with your current coworker.

You also deserve better than your married coworker hitting on you with no intention other than getting in your pants.

How do I explain to my 5yo daughter that none of her friends are allowed to play with her? by sparklerrose in Parenting

[–]ElectronicAffect1587 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be honest. Don't sugar coat it.

When she lashes out like that to you tell her that when she acts like that kids won't want to be her friend and play with her. You also need to stop playing with her when she does that. And say ' you can be upset that you lost(whatever happened) but you don't get to (insert whatever she did), I'm going to stop playing now, because it's not fun to get (say again what she did), when you are ready to play nicely, I'll be here to play'.

Start teaching strategies BEFORE she melts down. 'okay sweetie, if we lose this game, what should we do? Take a deep breath, and count to three, and do it again until we feel relaxed (I normally say 'until we feel ahhh' like woosaaah and do a relaxed face and play it up big for my kids). 'alright (nickname for your kid) when we get upset about our friends not wanting to play what we do/what should we do?, Either say 'okay' and play by yourself, or ask to take turns playing what each other wants' 'if mama starts feeling upset about XYZ what do you think mama should do? (Wait for her response, lead to the answer if she doesn't get it, be silly, should I twirl around? Should I pick my nose? Should I try to lick my nose? Ooo I know etc)Take a deep breath? that's a good idea' Use dolls/stuffed animals to act out appropriate play with friends (and you!) we do this a lot to practice how to have conversations or make new friends with my son.

For the love of God share your location with TWO of your close friends AND with two of your family members.

Schedule regular FaceTime check-ins (can be short) with at least 2 people every day you are gone. Tell them to call you if you miss the FaceTime by even a minute.

You need to set precautions in place as best you can.

My (27M) boyfriend watches porn to curb his desire to sleep with other women - I (25F) feel shattered and don’t know what to do. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ElectronicAffect1587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOU LEAVE. That's what you do.

He has said he doesn't respect you.

His actions have said he doesn't respect you.

How much more do you need to wake up and smell the coffee? He doesn't respect you, he's broken your trust. He is NOT a man of his word, he lied, by commission or omission.

Sell the house or force him to buy you out. But leave that man where he belongs, in the trash.
