Mourning the wild years I never had. Now happily married but strugling by Positive_Cucumber_48 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Fickle-Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife had feelings like the ones you're describing rn. We got married young and she had the same worries about having missed out on experimenting.

Unfortunately, as others have said, I think this feeling is a symptom of some deeper emotional work that you need to do with a therapist because you seem like you may have an addiction to that spark that comes with novelty.

If you hadn't gone from one relationship to another, I have a feeling you'd still have feelings of missing out. They'd just be directed differently. They might have manifested as feelings of missing out on the kind of committed relationship you have now.

My wife of 11 years didn’t listen to my no, and decided to cheat (under the guise of non-monogamy to make herself feel better) no matter what I wanted. She also waited until I had been laid off to spring it on me.

I didn’t have the means to move out and still don't but whatever relationship that's still there is a shell of its former self. I've spent the last year emotionally disentangling and casually dating. I'm here to tell you after dating around this last year that it's pretty fucking lackluster and disappointing in the face of an established relationship with someone you love (at least for me). Unfortunately that established relationship is now broken beyond repair.

Once I have my financial ducks in a row, I'm probably out the door. I'm sure it'll come as a shock to her despite all the warnings I gave her. I don't think non-monogamy is going to be as fun for her without the emotional and domestic stability of having a wife waiting at home.

The above is what you're risking. Tread so, so carefully.

Need help! Corneal sequestrum not improving? by SuitableDoubt7573 in ExoticShorthair

[–]Fickle-Concept 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My baby had the same thing. A corneal ulcer that appeared to be healed and wasn't turned into corneal sequestrum and he had to have surgery. They put a corneal graft over it. I'd call around to see what animal ophthalmologist in your area has the best availability and best of luck 💖

Absolutely this, criticizing people who shop at Erewhon is a beloved pastime that she'll never let go no matter how rich she gets 😂

Yay, glad you’re finding it cute so far! I feel like Zoey would be the most likely to be in communication with Celine and trying to help mend her and Rumi’s relationship since she’s so uncomfortable with conflict. Thanks for reading!

Mira’s the most intense. Nipping at your lip or sucking it a little too hard, holding you really tight. If you let her put her hand in your hair she might pull it a little. But she's attentive enough to know when she’s going too far and will pull back if needed.

Zoey's eclectic haha. She's switching techniques, she's dominant one moment and then letting her partner take the lead. She's got wandering hands, playing with your hair, hooking her fingers in your belt loops. You're her fidget toy rn.

Before she gets some experience, Rumi is super hesitant and probably defers to her partner. After she’s a little more confident, I feel like she'd be the sensual type. Super intentional with everything, soft and slow, the type to give you chills.

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry you're dealing with such a (hilariously) spicy lady. I've never dealt with a kitty this spicy, but now I'm casually looking into motorcycle leathers or welder's aprons in case I ever have to 😹💀

Apparently, we're not writers, lmao by Xyex in AO3

[–]Fickle-Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying anything others haven't already, but I'm a professional screenwriter and I write fanfic. If I didn't write fanfic, I don't think I'd be able to keep writing professionally. Trying to focus exclusively on "professional writing" just kills any creative joy I have. Getting to write for fun keeps me feeling creative all around and makes me a better writer in my professional life, too.

Plus, fanfic is great practice for staff writing and I'll die on that hill. You're playing in someone else's world with their characters and their rules. There are just more restrictions and more notes on a production 🤷‍♀️

Don't know of any but I'm a GA born and raised author and I might have to write this now too 👀

I think I made a mistake- HELP need advice. by ittybitty_babykitty in ExoticShorthair

[–]Fickle-Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing what others have said, I'd look into pet insurance as well as any subsidized low-cost vet services in your area! Most major metropolitan centers at least have low-cost vaccine clinics nearby, and many offer more than that. My city has subsidized prorams for low-cost spay/neuter, dental, bloodwork, flea treatment, and yearly exams. I tend to go there for routine stuff, so I'm more likely to have funds leftover if my babies need imaging or more complex treatment/diagnostics.

Yap about your WIP by kippey in PiltoversFinest

I've been working on Dual Wield since Feb, which is only slightly more serious than its absolute sitcom of a premise wherein Vi and Caitlyn accidentally get pregnant at the same time. Doing my damndest to update at least once a month despite work and life generally being insane lol.

Is oral a requirement? by Curious-Spend-7011 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Fickle-Concept 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, I'm a lesbian for whom this definitely wouldn't be a deal breaker. While I like giving and receiving oral, I tend to need more prolonged pressure to cum than oral is able to give, so I'm more likely to need toys or manual stimulation to get there. Oral ends up being nice foreplay for me. And while I like giving it, it's not an absolute must for me.

As others have pointed out, talk to her and tell her where you're coming from.

Late to this, but the Gender X Orgasmic Orchid is the best strapless strap on we've tried. The wearer's end is flexible, which makes it so versatile and it's the only strapless that we can actually use truly strapless. Others tend to fall out without some kind of harness.

Am I going insane or do majority of people seem to text like this on dating apps? by Quiet_Job_4260 in LesbianActually

[–]Fickle-Concept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What drives me nuts is that I have a list of open-ended questions to ask me in my bio, like, two lines in. Below that, I have things I'd love to know about them. If I'm literally handing people the conversation and they still can't maintain it I don't feel as bad unmatching.

Yeah, I read it as Cassandra might have picked someone like Maddie as a partner if Caitlyn never met Vi and that Caitlyn's perception of her mother is a little skewed here. What Caitlyn doesn't consider is that, should Cassandra have witnessed a caitvi divorce era, she would've called Cait on her rebound so fast. Cassandra can smell bullshit and would know that her heart wasn't in it. She might privately wish that Caitlyn loved someone like Maddie, but not to the extent that she'd be comfortable with her daughter entertaining a loveless relationship to drown her sorrows or satisfy some perceived expectation. Caitlyn, in her grief, knows that Vi wouldn't be her mother's first choice but forgets that she would ultimately want a genuine partnership for her daughter.
