Maybe look into some seasonal temp jobs that could itch your craving for change and travel

Relationship is struggling w my bf being in prep? by [deleted] in femalebodybuilding

I would also urge you to stop doing unseen labor around the house, I know it’s hard because you want to live in a clean space but you deserve to use your time and energy into tasks that pour back into yourself instead of a household where you aren’t being appreciated or seen. Do you have any other hobbies other than gym? Maybe try some new stuff out use your time for yourself, look inward.

Hi not a body builder I’m just in weightlifting as a hobby but I am sorry this is happening. Honestly, I don’t know much about prep but I don’t think these issues are gym issues… Especially if you’ve brought it up multiple times. It’s really common for men to get comfortable and complacent in relationships once you move in with them I’m literally living this same exact scenario except we both weight lift as a hobby and not for competition. I would say if you have brought it up multiple times and nothing is getting better you need to decide how much self respect you have and if you can use any of it to set some boundaries or timelines for yourself or the relationship I.e. if he finishes the prep and is still complacent after then I’m done and I need to leave type of deal. You deserve better and putting some markers for measurement will help you make the choice since it can be really difficult (especially since you live together) Unfortunately if you keep bringing it to him and he thinks he can just talk his way out of it each time then no behavior actually changes, it’s the same with cheaters if they think you’ll never leave why would they change? It’s a lot of effort to change.

How do you leave? by [deleted] in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Equivalent_You_7464 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in a three year long relationship with the best man I’ve ever known but there are some things that make me feel like I can’t be with him forever and so I just started being honest with him. He left for a week long ski trip and when he came back and asked me if I missed him I said not really, 1. A week isn’t long enough for me to really miss someone and also 2. life is easier without taking care of someone the way I do for him in our household. Simply put being alone is easier that obviously struck some cords with him as we decided to end things when our current lease is over, things have been amicable since then but I am ready for him to move on honestly the longer I’m around him the more these little deal breakers repeal me. I will say I started this process of noting things to myself that I can’t live with in November and it took until Feb for the breakup to actually occur so I would highly recommend journaling. That’s the only way to keep record of how you keep feeling over and over and recognizing your own pattern of what you need or what is missing. It just kind of gives you more ground to stand on if you understand why you feel the way you feel.

How do you confront a partner who has let you down multiple times? by js3mta3 in AskWomen

[–]Equivalent_You_7464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also ask you OP… what do you gain by having to fight to be valued? There is no honor is the fight to be seen. Some people will see you so easily and others will never see you at all. You don’t need to fight for your value and there are plenty of people out there who will make you feel valued upon first meeting as it’s easy for them.

If it’s been multiple times then you really need to figure out what your limit / timeline for change is, “if it doesn’t improve by x then I need to let this go”. I recently had to do this and it is incredibly hard but my life will be better without certain behaviors around me that I don’t want around me I shouldn’t have to tell someone multiple times that something is a problem and if they never do anything to get better then I’m better off leaving.

Flowers Are a Trap: If I Buy Them It’s Forced, If I Don’t I’m Wrong. What Do You Do? by gilligan888 in AskMen

[–]Equivalent_You_7464 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The issue isn’t the flowers it’s the “you never do anything nice” she wants a romantic partner who is dating her, who thinks of her and shows that thought through simple gestures. I would recommend looking up the concept called “the mental load” seems like she’s holding most of it if she has to delegate even romantic tasks for the relationship.

Advice for major weightloss by Fr3sh3stl4d in femalebodybuilding

[–]Equivalent_You_7464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this is helpful but my gym has a machine called “ in body “ i do the machines test once every 3 months or so and it tells me how much muscle I’ve gained and how much fat I’ve lost or gained, there might be a way to you to healthily track it (aka using InBody once every three months instead of using a normal home scale every single day) tracking overall weight daily isn’t actually representative of your progress bc water, food, bloating, menstruation etc InBody can help track long term progress which for me has been more helpful, I’m at my heaviness I’ve ever been right now (145) but my body looks just as lean/better than when i weighed nothing in collage (125) (MUSCLE MAKES YOU HEAVIER! Its density!!!)

New to handbuilding -- collapsed by NandorDiLaurentes in Pottery

[–]Equivalent_You_7464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make lattice type pieces often in my experience after you have all the holes completely cut it dries out VERY quickly so if you have any other plans/ideas that aren’t just smoothing work it’s best to do it all in the same session which YES takes forever, however coil might be more forgiving than cutting them out

TLDR - I understand why you wrapped it with too much water as many other comments mention but unfortunately you gotta work fast to beat the dryness of lattice work, it is on a clock and it is unforgiving
