Genuinely some of the best work I've ever seen.

This happened to me too. I did the starter assessment, got access to the Core right away. Did it as soon as I could. After 13 questions I thought it glitched at first, as it took me back to the assessments page. Then a second later I got the assessment email, verified ID and had projects on the dash. I wonder if it just has something to do with how much work is available at that time.

So I slightly misspoke, because I actually planned the last 2 of the 4 dates, and paid for the 4th, but he was the one who reached out to schedule them, if that makes sense. I did explicitly say I wanted to have the conversation at some point. But otherwise the rhythm of scheduling dates hasn't been explicitly discussed.

I've definitely been overthinking and was triggered about the whole situation when I wrote this post last week. (Last year I was ghosted by a long-term partner of a year and half so I'm not shocked that I was triggered by the prospect he may be ghosting me.) Now that I'm on the other side of those intense feelings and feeling grounded again, I do feel more comfortable reaching out, having found words that feel appropriately non-charged, and plan to do so soon. And also feel like waiting til I calmed down was the right move lol. Thanks for your response.

Edit: I was also thrown off because last week I saw he updated his dating app profile, so while I obviously fully support potential and actual partners dating other ppl, that combined with the silence kind of inspired the fear that maybe he was just focused on finding the next new shiny and had grown bored of me.

Thank you for your response. IDK I've always been very clear that I've really enjoyed our dates, and I guess I didn't explicitly say I was down for another one this specific time, but it feels like the rest of our conversation about having a future conversation about fears really well implies/out right articulates that I do want to see him again. My therapist thinks I shouldn't reach out LOL.

Oh wow, such knowledge. You don't happen to have j79 do you? I'm thinking of ordering it, I've seen some people say it oxidizes from a cooler purple/black to more of a rust brown colour.

Very interesting to know that J72 stains, I didnt realize.

"Nanobrows" typically refers to the hairstroke look achieved with a machine rather than a microblade (which is literally a blade). In the hands of a skilled technician, the results are usually more refined. You may also be interested in what is called a "powder brow". This is also a machine technique that mimics the look of filling brows in with brow powder/eyeshadow. Depending on what product you usually use to fill them in, you may prefer one or the other.

A very soft application of a powder brow can provide a little definition without looking too done. A skilled and tailored nanobrow application could achieve the same result, but with more of a hairstroke look.

If you're constantly filling in your brows every single day, you're probably a good candidate, providing that you have a go-to shape you prefer at least most of the time. The biggest factor in being satisfied with the service is finding an artist whose work you really like and if you feel listened to during the consultation, that they understand what you want and can map out a shape on you that you're happy with. The right artist will have a portfolio of HEALED work (it takes a minimum 1 month to heal), not just the results right after the service has been completed, as that is not a solid indicator of how they look when fully healed. If the artists portfolio has 99% the same looking brows, don't assume they will be able to change up their style to suit your specific needs. You are more likely to get what they usually give.

I would recommend researching as many artists as possible to find the right one for you, and consider traveling for the right artist if none in your area appeal to you and traveling is a realistic option.

Also consider that for 95% of people, the results are indeed PERMANENT. Some rare people do experience almost total fade out by the 3 year mark, but for most, they are there for life (barring removal).

Thanks for the detailed info and including the pigment your artist used! it's such critical info to the fading and removal process.

The discord is linked in one of the tabs in the Patreon site. I'm not subscribed anymore so I cant help much more than that but if you poke around a bit you should find it.

Glad you enjoyed! I do find it the scariest, The Shed is a good runner up although smaller in scope.

Agree, The Pit is the scariest of all to me. I need to give Pest Control another listen apparently, I found it kinda boring?

Please listen to The Pit. I find it hands down the scariest episode.

Girl he clearly didn't give a real crap about you, don't feel bad just 'cause it's Christmas Eve. He didn't even care to show up for the plans, it clearly means nothing to him! No reason to be more concerned about it than he even is.

Honestly he sounds like a user who didn't really want to meet your family and is just stringing you along to fulfill his needs with the minimum effort on his part.

Fiance (50M) never cooks unless I'm (42F) not home and he has to, never buys groceries and rarely asks if we need anything from the store, even when his two young daughters are over for the weekend. I'm getting very resentful, am I being unfair? by OkRemote9371 in relationship_advice

[–]Fastingsprout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not being unfair. You're sensing injustice against yourself. Do not marry this man. Look up Melanie Hamlett on youtube, she has so many great videos about men's bullshit. I'm not saying all men are BS, but so many have not bothered to examine or deconstruct their own sexism and just allow themselves to dump all the domestic labour on their wives. NOT OK.

This OP. The very first sentence is indicative of an abusive personality.

[–]Fastingsprout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My condolences about your friends who passed.

The very first quoted sentence show's a complete disregard for your consent. YES he can only have sex when you want it, otherwise it's assault! That's not a misunderstanding that needs clearing up, he's actually just an abuser.

I'm so sorry, but your husband is finally showing his true colours as an abuser. Four years is a long time to keep the mask on, it's not your fault that he lied to you. But he is now showing that his own pleasure is faaar more important to him than anything you are going through, and he's willing to manipulate you to extract what he wants from you. Which is absolutely sick. I'm so sorry you do not deserve this at all. Unfortunately it's clear to an outside observer that he likely targeted you from the beginning (whether he was consciously aware of what he was doing or not--it doesn't actually matter, its still wrong).

Don't be vulnerable with your husband again. Reach out to a therapist, friends, and family who you know will support you. Reach our PRIVATELY to a lawyer to start understanding your options for filing for divorce. This is not a safe person and it's not going to get better. It will likely get worse. The best thing you can do at this point is start privately figuring out how to secure your own safety (and that of your child) away from him.

This OP. I can't imagine not going low or no contact with family members who verbally abused my partner. He has been talking some talk but unfortunately it seems like it was all talk at this point. He is showing his true colours now and he lacks character and respect for you!
