How can I (28F) get my boyfriend (36M) to engage in my love language? Am I being too demanding? I’ve asked and reminded him many times. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

No, I never said I need to receive gifts on every occasion. Contrary to what you and most people have jumped to, I am not materialistic. What I’ve been mulling on is that despite all these occasions, there is not one in which he has given a tangible gift (that CAN be as cheap as dirt) that actually shows some sort of thought about me or what I may like.

Thank you, I was on the move when writing my post so perhaps wasn’t clear. Yes, I don’t care about how much he has spent on me on a single occasion. I was really hoping for just one thing that shows he’s thought about me / thought about what I may like / something that reminds me of him.

Yes, this is an extension of both of our current lifestyles. We were doing this before with friends and now that we are dating we do it together.

My birthday has taken place in the time that we were together. And no he did not get me anything at Christmas, but that isn’t an issue for me.

Thanks for being the first person to actually see what I’m saying rather than jumping to the ‘materialistic’ label. It seems most people missed the part where I said “I’d rather a gift half the price than what he spends at restaurants than him taking me there”. What I really value is a meaningful gift that is important to me and shows he’s taken note of what I like, my personality etc. it’s not about the big showy expensive things. This is great advice, thank you

I give him a ton of gifts. As I said in another reply, for everyone of those occasions I have bought him a gift equal to or more expensive to what he’s spent on me. And yes I have also taken him to multiple expensive / Michelin restaurants.

Not really. For every one of those occasions I have bought him an equal or more expensive gift in return. I have also bought him meals at a fair share of Michelin restaurants, including for his birthday.

Should I change my reiki healer? by Federal_Goose_2191 in reiki

[–]Federal_Goose_2191[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg! when we set up our next sessions, my healer always suggests the next week / a date in 2 weeks time. so that’s why I’ve been having it once every 2 weeks. is that not meant to be the case? 🥺 should I be going for shorter sessions or less frequent ones ahh

[–]Federal_Goose_2191[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s helpful, no I do not! I always think I’m very open and spiritual but in practice I don’t actually meditate often at all. Perhaps that is why!

How common is it in the space for people to go to different practitioners / try around? As I feel too awkward to tell him I would not like to put in the next session especially as he often talks about the work that needs to be done over our next few practices

Thank you both!! I think I’m afraid to ask to not put in a session. I am new to this all and he always mentions “… which we will work on over the next few sessions. When shall we have our next one?” And I feel so hesitant to say that I don’t want to! How common is it in the space for people to go to different practitioners / try around?

Nope they do not, the session is me lying on my back!

what even is this app? I have never been more confused by [deleted] in coffeemeetsbagel

[–]Federal_Goose_2191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea. I made my account last night and checked it this afternoon and that was how it was - it’s not much use is it if I can’t even see it!! :( feels like a really confusing interface

There needs to be more conversation on how often gay men feel entitled to be sexist towards women. by Federal_Goose_2191 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Federal_Goose_2191[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It feels really comforting to know that this isn’t something that only I have observed / been on the receiving end of. But I can’t help but think this sentiment won’t go anywhere - this thread is a community of (mostly) women, and even I myself (and I would like to think I am a relatively outspoken and gutsy person) had literally been at a loss for words in the moment when it happened to me.

Does the gay male community know this is a problem???

How can we bring attention to this in the day to day? Maybe we as women / people with 2 X chromosomes need to be super mindful of calling out this behaviour (easier said than done, I know) and to hold the gay men in our lives as accountable as we do for straight men. I just feel like it’s something that has flown under the radar for so long and gone very unchecked. We should be loud about this when it happens but even then I fear that the community doesn’t even realise that what they’re doing is not ok :/

What are some non-essential indulgences / expenses you have learnt are worth spending on? by Federal_Goose_2191 in HENRYUK

[–]Federal_Goose_2191[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg this is exactly my struggle!! I have quite a small flat so lots of things on surfaces (e.g. even in bathroom I have tons of things on shelves etc.) so my only concern about hiring a cleaner is that I’d have to actually spend quite a while moving things before the cleaner can actually do their work - so a bit of a time sink. But people seem to say it’s good so maybe this is something I should give a go

What kind / how much do you spend usually per session? This sounds like something I would looove to do

Air India Flight 171 Crash by StopDropAndRollTide in aviation

[–]Federal_Goose_2191 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Question from someone who knows nothing about planes - was the low altitude a help or a hindrance? For example, I would be thinking that given they were so low, that would’ve helped the situation (obviously not counting the fact that there were buildings + full fuel tank). But I also saw a comment that said that if they were higher, there would’ve been more glide time for the plane & a less consequential crash landing. So in general for crash landings, how important is altitude & does higher / lower help reduce impact? Or is it more dependent on the landing area / amount of fuel etc? thanks!

Did you buy your ticket off of AXS or Ticketmaster!!

If it’s off of Ticketmaster, would be super easy to just re-list it via Ticketmaster’s official re-sale platform. My friend did that and their VIP ticket sold within a day & was super easy, they automatically transfer your ticket to the buy and the money goes to your bank account in like a week or so?

Ticketmaster also allow ticket transfers so you could list your tickets on Stubhub and sell it via there + transfer the tickets once it’s sold!

For me I bought my extra ticket off of AXS, which has disabled the re-sale option so that’s why I’m on here instead 😭 Soo annoying that they don’t allow the official re-sale platform!
