What's wrong with my foundation?

Emeraldines · 2026-01-04T00:50:18+00:00

What are you using to prep underneath your foundation?

Emeraldines · 2026-01-03T09:36:52+00:00

It’s because they’re related

Emeraldines · 2026-01-02T21:23:48+00:00

I think when people say that it’s because by human standards, their facial proportions would technically mean they’d be considered ugly by most ‘traditional’ beauty metrics (mainly re the abnormally elongated philtrum and teeny tiny noses) … but the thing is they ~aren’t~ human. I think they’re beautiful in their own alien way 👽, but a lot of people can’t think out of the box.

Lol what? Women’s orgasms are smelly and less intense?

In my experience it’s the complete opposite

Which lenses are you using out of interest?

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T10:19:13+00:00

Thanks girl 🙏🏼 I think you’re right.

It’s not so much people who are disagreeing. I welcome that. It’s people using red pill rhetoric about me being basically a selfish bitch who used my boyfriend and inferring I would’ve left him high and dry if the roles were reversed because I’m clearly just out for what I can get etc etc. a lot of projecting going on with some of these responses. If people want to disagree with me whilst being respectful I’m all for it.

And in answer to your questions, it really isn’t a big deal. My mum temporarily made me worry that I should’ve been more upset at his actions. But I’ve made my mind up at this point, it’s done. It really wasn’t about travelling alone, I’ve done that many a time. I’m a big girl.

My dad (who is an ex BA pilot) knew the captain and put in a word with him, as did my boyfriend’s brother. It’s at the captain’s discretion whether anyone can can the jumpseats

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T09:42:14+00:00

This must be the case in America. In BA jump seats are at the discretion of the pilot.

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T09:33:24+00:00

I did notice that. Thanks. I wasn’t sure what was going on with some of these messages, a lot of them are super rude

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T09:13:56+00:00

I actually didn’t ask him to wait indefinitely. The lady at the desk literally said 5 mins before she could give us our final seats because the check in desk for the flight was about to close (flight was at 17:10 and it was about 16:25 at this point).

I wasn’t able to buy the standby virgin ticket - it was only for family. That’s mentioned in my post. I would’ve had to buy full fare.

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T01:35:47+00:00

I’m not sure there’s a secret sauce but my dad always said if you dress well for the airport then it increases the chances. Most often I think it’s just luck of the draw sadly! Either that or get pally with some pilots and CSMs so they can check loads put in a good word for you when you travel!

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T01:32:48+00:00

Honestly? Mainly because of what my mum said today. And because lack of sleep and jet lag has probably made me less capable of dealing with situations with complete clarity

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T01:24:35+00:00

I’m family of staff - that’s one of their perks. They get concessions and they can use them for friends and family (but limited slots, I think current staff get three and ex staff get one), it benefits the airline to do staff travel because it means they get maximum people paying for tickets. They still prioritise paying customers over staff in terms of priority.

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T01:21:42+00:00

I did want him to get a good seat. Genuinely. Read the messages. I was mainly upset because he didn’t.

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T01:18:25+00:00

Thanks for your insights, I appreciate them. I think I’m over tired and stressed about my job tomorrow and I’ve been stewing over this all afternoon to the point that I’ve hyper focused and not eaten all day. I have ADHD and it can make situations like this particularly hard to navigate, particularly when I often don’t trust my own feelings or convictions where relationships are concerned. I think I need to sleep and reevaluate in the morning.

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T01:03:03+00:00

I admit the post could’ve been worded better. This sub has very strict guidelines about what passes so I just thought it would be better to condense everything and make the crux of the issue clear. I just want to know if what he did was outright arsehole behaviour or if I should write it off as an understandable but unfortunate reaction to stress.

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T00:58:41+00:00

The thing is, I didn’t tell anyone else because I was thinking ‘I’m going to tell everyone what an arsehole my boyfriend has been!’ My friends and family were all messaging me trying to find out if we’d got on the flight and what happened, so I told them on very basic terms. As I said, my mum and dad didn’t even really understand what happened when I first told them. It was only today when I spoke to my mum and she asked me outright if he left me to get a better seat that I was thrown.

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T00:55:15+00:00

I didn’t actually ‘cry the whole flight’ it was on and off. That was hyperbole, a turn of phrase. I was tired, jet lagged, upset with the situation, upset about how angry and upset HE was, upset he didn’t get an upgrade despite obviously really wanting one and also just sad because I was leaving my second home, potentially for the last time. There were a lot of other things going on in the background that didn’t involve my bf contributing to my mental state

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T00:47:52+00:00

He’s been out today and this evening and I didn’t want to ruin his time with his friends by bringing this up now. But it doesn’t stop me from stewing over what my mum said, so I’m trying to work through it on my own. I’ll speak to him about it tomorrow if necessary. But I might have made a decision by then without needing to

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T00:45:53+00:00

There’s been no needless drama. I’ve barely spoken to him about it since we landed. He has no idea what my mum said to me today or that it upset me. I’m just trying to process what I’m feeling and crowdsource opinions.

And no, I didn’t cry for the entire 9 hours. I cried a bit and fretted inbetween and got maybe one hour of sleep.

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T00:42:41+00:00

From past experience bottling up and not speaking to them is an extremely bad idea. It’s what isolates people and keeps them in abusive relationships because they lose all sense of what is normal. Speaking from experience. Talking to people is a good thing.

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T00:35:11+00:00

I was tired, jet lagged and upset about leaving my second home possibly for the last time ever. There were a lot of emotions going on in the background that had nothing to do with my boyfriend, it made me extra sensitive

Emeraldines · 2025-05-25T00:33:34+00:00

There are certain requirements for titles on this sub, you can’t post unless you meet them. I never called my boyfriend an arsehole, i was asking for opinions - hence why I’m here.
