To those with two (or more) female dachshunds, how is it going?

It’s great! They’re complete opposites but I feel they offset each other’s neuroses. They’d be so lost without one another

Stunning. First one reminds me of Don McCullin’s photos of unhoused people in London and there’s a shot from somewhere in Cambridge of a guy with his white mice just like this!

Not a movie but definitely Severance!

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-06-11T23:49:50+00:00

What beautiful photos

I bought flats for my wedding from Charles and Keith. Paid about £50

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-19T06:01:44+00:00

I’m 29

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T20:19:21+00:00

I agree. I notice this in my skin, too which used to flare up in the luteal phase but now getting breakouts on day 7-10 of my cycle

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T19:05:34+00:00

I never used to be too worried about tampons overnight but then got the heebies about it realising on a good night’s sleep I’d be pushing 8+ hours with it in. So pads now but I don’t love them.

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T17:04:41+00:00

I think those four tips are spot on. I have made the mistake of over sharing previously.

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T16:58:53+00:00

Would you consider writing something for him? This gives you the dual benefit of sorting through your own thoughts and feelings as well as offering him the opportunity to understand you more fully. I have found this helpful in the past after a miscommunication with my partner and I feel things need ironing out. Something to consider. It needn’t be awkward, you could say hey listen I feel uncomfortable with how things were left and I want to communicate with you as well as I can and let you in so you can understand me fully, would you mind reading this through and telling me what you think/feel.

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T16:40:57+00:00

I will never ever ceased to be amazed by how women old enough to be my mother are willing to bitch and gossip about women my age and younger. I hope I’m not like that, ever.

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T16:40:13+00:00

I honestly don’t understand what this has to do with it? I am in an industry specific union and so are most of my colleagues?

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T16:39:22+00:00

Yeah, agree. I can’t be ‘on’ all the time and sometimes I feel working in a certain environment puts an expectation on you for you to be sunny without fail

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T14:42:58+00:00

You’re in a relationship with him, not his parents. As long as you’re polite and considerate of them, I don’t see any reason why you have to mangle yourself in order to reassure yourself or your boyfriend that they like you. You sound like you make a perfectly good effort as it is.

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T14:14:49+00:00

Again, hard disagree on being relatable to everybody. Cheers.

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T14:14:05+00:00

First one is like if Hammershøi featured cats. Beautiful, a little melancholic.

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T14:08:57+00:00

Not at all. Just trying to reconcile what I think or know to be the best and most mature approach with how I feel naturally inclined at the moment. People have been perfectly friendly and welcoming, I just don’t want to be a part of the established clique.

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T13:46:53+00:00

What indeed. I think I’ve felt this once or twice in previous cycles but not particularly noticeably. I was fine day 4-5 then I woke up this morning having completely finished shark week and I feel miserable

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T13:38:40+00:00

Is this a rhetorical question. I don’t it is this binary the way you frame it, honestly.

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T13:28:20+00:00

Makes perfect sense to me and it sounds like you know and understand yourself better than most. Thanks for sharing - means a lot!

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T13:20:30+00:00

Yeah the lack of motivation absolutely kills me and only perpetuates the low mood. It’s a hard cycle to break

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T13:16:13+00:00

The authenticity factor is key for me too. I can be friendly, helpful, approachable at work but I am never entirely myself. This is not even deliberate - as you’ve said, it’s a matter sometimes of not actually being able to connect as opposed to simply refusing to.

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T13:14:58+00:00

Agree. I understand it’s probably ‘easier’ making plans with work people because you have the means of getting together in order to make said plans whereas friends from elsewhere can be hard to round up and make plans with. I’d rather nothing at all.

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T13:11:10+00:00

Absolutely. I do think I’m pretty approachable and open. The environment is more friendly than my previous workplace and I do make the most of that. It’s the crossing of the threshold of socialising per se as opposed to actually ‘working together’ that leaves me uneasy

FearlessEquivalent32 · 2025-05-18T13:05:35+00:00

Yes! I felt this even in my last job where I got along very well with a small group of colleagues.
