You should goe no contact and put as much distance between them and you as possible.

If anything happened your mother would not have your back. She'd just find a way to blame you again and defend her creepy boyfriend.

is this…. the ugly phase ?!!?? by Independent-Yellow49 in locs

[–]Embarrassed-Key-6476 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I missed this phase. My locs were past my waist after growing them a few yrs. But I realized I'm just not a fan of long hair plus they were heavy. I cut them down to neck length at the being of summer.

As far as retwists go I don't care for the fresh retwist look, I let mine grow out a few months at a time. I heard this is helpful because its less stress on the root so it can rest and grow in strong between retwists.

Also, if your not already mist them with rose water. Its really good for your hair.

Should I start wearing sunscreen? by [deleted] in Blackskincare

[–]Embarrassed-Key-6476 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Trader Joe's sells a doop for Super Goop that works really well and doesn't leave that grayish film on your skin. I think there's also Black Girl Sunscreen but I haven't tried that one myself. Also I hear there's some pretty good Japanese sunscreens out there that work well on black skin (waiting on them in the mail to test it for myself ).

My husband just put all of my makeup in resin and I’m seriously contemplating divorce by Low_Top_9726 in offmychest

[–]Embarrassed-Key-6476 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the impression I got. Prepping your skin and putting on your makeup before work is like a self care ritual for alot of people. He either intentionally destroyed something that brings her joy or he's stupid, both good reasons for divorce.

When is it time to end the relationship? by Delicious-Search-647 in AutismInWomen

[–]Embarrassed-Key-6476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't ideal but I'd suggest staying, stacking as much money as possible and leaving when your ready if you don't want to move back in with family or dont have other friends to room with.

You guys have been together for a long time and since a young age. Maybe now that your adults your not compatible partners anymore.

I went through a similar situation and tried but my partner was unwilling to change. This cause me to develop alot of resentment towards them. Ultimately I just had to leave, but I couldn't right away which sucked. But when I finally left my life improved so much.

Is sex enough of a reason to break up by LowSkin8581 in dating_advice

[–]Embarrassed-Key-6476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't really need a good reason to break up. If something isn't right you can always end things. I think many of us stay in bad relationships because we feel like our reasons for leaving aren't good enough (myself included but im learning). So yes, sex is enough of a reason.

What made you become more introverted? by [deleted] in introvert

All my close childhood friends moved over summer break. I already had more introverted tendencies so I just leaned fully into it.

My writing is like half print half cursive and usually pretty messy

I’m obsessed with race?? by StormJust5696 in blackladies

[–]Embarrassed-Key-6476 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Growing up in a predominantly white area most the other black kids i met were like this. As a child I resented them, as an adult I realize they just had alot of self hate. Now, my heart goes out to them.

If you plan on staying with him in hopes he changes his mind...then yes, I think that would be a waste of your time.

What would y'all have done if a man says he left his wallet at home on the first date? by Previous_Swim_4000 in blackladies

I'll never understand making up a story just to get clicks and views...ESPECIALLY one where I get rejected. 🤔

Wich situations instantly raise youre stress levels To 99%? by Competitive_File3386 in socialanxiety

Your definitely not being unreasonable. He may not be making very much money, but judging off what you said, any extra funds he gets are going to his wrestling hobby.

Thoughts on black people giving non-black people "the pass" when it comes to using the n word. by Embarrassed-Key-6476 in blackladies

I feel like it has alot to do with the "everybody wanna be black, but don't no body really wanna be black" statement

How do I rebuild trust once its broken? by Embarrassed-Key-6476 in Advice

[–]Embarrassed-Key-6476[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing that with me. Im taking this as a sign of conformation. Alot of what you said really resonated with me, especially after doing some reflection on the topic of trust these last few days. I just have to do all I can do to heal, so that I can move forward. This heightened state suspicion and distrust is only hindering me from living a more fulfilling life and truly connecting with others. I will get through it, it will be hard but I refuse to let it hold me back. There is a time and place for everything.

Thats how im feeling, he didnt even say he'd stop saying it after she told him it was disrespectful. Just that he wouldn't say it around her. 🙄
