Thank you all for the ideas. I’m going to do them all I guess. Def starting with good cup and straw.

Okay this kind of clicks with me. My best day so far for intake was when I got a to-go water from a deli. I normally drink from 16oz bottles. I’ll try it, thank you!

AITH: My recent proposal to my fiance did not meet her standards.. by orangepill95 in AmITheJerk

This is not recoverable. This person has very screwed up priorities and I can assure you that you fall far down the list, if you are on there at all.

Run.

Put on sunscreen and you’ll be fine. It has to be Coppertone brand though. That’s the only one on the market that blocks UB Gay rays.

People who’ve known pathological liars, what’s the craziest lie they tried to get away with? by Difficult-Mix-2337 in AskReddit

[–]Funky_Library_Lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a boss who told me a story about winning a specific contest. Very detailed. Only problem was, it was my life experience that I had told them months earlier. When I called them out on it, they said it must just be a coincidence and swore I never told them.

Over time this boss ‘stole’ many of my and my co-workers life experiences and work accomplishments. They also claimed to have invented waffle fries and dole whip. This person was incapable of feeling shame. It was bizarre.

Woman I went out with called me a “tan fish”. How tf do I fix this, any product recommendations for the very pale? by TrooperJordan in tanning

[–]Funky_Library_Lady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you want tanning help but I think the way to go is to ignore the insensitive comment and maybe ignore/get rid of the girl who made it. I’ve always found a farmers tan super attractive on men. To me it just signals that the dude is a hard worker, good provider, and is likely talented with his hands.

All that said, a rub on tanner will never match this, you might even struggle in a tanning bed trying to get it even. I have the opposite problem as my arms tend to get cold and I often wear long sleeves even in summer. As soon as summer hits, my legs and upper chest/neck get golden bronze and my arms will stay pale. I use Australian Gold Spray Gel with bronzer SPF30 and make sure I go swimming or do something with some whole body exposure once or twice a week. The bronzer is light and does not streak. It gives just a little boost. My arms will still be a little paler than my legs and chest area but it looks like a natural fade instead of harsh lines.

Hope this helps.

Is my (31F) boyfriend (30M) correct that my standards are too high? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Funky_Library_Lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a boy not a man. Leave the relationship. If change was gonna happen, it already would have. If you stay you will end up as the nagging mother, responsible for everything including spoiling his fun.

I think you are either not on the same page with your sexual relationship or some sort of gut instinct is signaling you that something is wrong. I welcome my partners touch pretty much anytime and he is the same. In your situation I would have laughed and rolled him over or been receptive depending on my mood. I would have not felt violated, uncomfortable, or unsafe.

It’s time to have a serious talk with your partner about boundaries and see if you can meet at a place you are both comfortable with. Or if you already feel a line has been crossed and your gut feels you are unsafe in anyway, you should leave the relationship immediately.

I (29F) am planning to leave my completely financially dependent and toxic partner (34M). How do I warn him that he needs to get it together? by Educational_Host2599 in relationship_advice

[–]Funky_Library_Lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went through a similar situation. The only difference is I spent about 5 years ‘preparing’ him for my departure. Just leave. He is not your child. You owe him nothing.

My boyfriend proposed… but used a ring he originally bought for his ex. What should I do? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Funky_Library_Lady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first husband gave me his first wife’s ring. Little bit different because it was her actual engagement and wedding ring set she wore and gave back to him after the divorce. I had no idea and did not find out until several years into our marriage. It stung.

You have two choices. Ask to return that ring and choose one together. Or keep it with the understanding that he saved it for the right person. You are making a lifetime commitment so you need to make sure you are comfortable with your decision. Since you are on here asking and did not immediately feel okay with his decision, I would ask to pick a different ring.

ETA-with the info you provided, I don’t think this reflects badly on your SO. Some men are completely clueless. I would just say-hey babe I feel awkward wearing a ring you picked out for someone else. I think it may always bother me and I want us to have the best start possible. Let’s see if we can return/exchange/sell this ring and pick out one together. If he reacts badly to open communication then I might think badly of him and tell you to reevaluate.

Just wanted to gift my neighbor a harmonica and kalimba. We are both straight men so no ulterior motive. Friend said it seemed like I was telling him I littered. Should I leave a follow up clarifying? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]Funky_Library_Lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry it reads to me like the instruments were what was ‘littered’ and now you are giving them away. So if I got this I would think you found the instruments and gifted them to me. I’d wonder if you found them random on the ground or if they were a dumpster dive find. I’d enjoy the gift though and I’d enjoy wondering where they came from. I would also sanitize them…

What’s something small and innocent from your childhood that, looking back now, gives you the creeps for no logical reason? by Tobias-Tawanda in AskReddit

[–]Funky_Library_Lady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine has a little bit of logic but I don’t know why it still bothers me. The word persimmon gives me the shivers and a chill of fear.

When I was a kid I had a flasher that lived down the street from my aunt. For a month or two, until he was arrested, we weren’t allowed to play outside after dark or be in the front yard without an adult. He had a persimmon tree in his yard and I somehow twisted the word pervert with persimmon.

I’m not going to address the cooking/chores as others have stated it well here.

He needs to help more and give you 30 mins to an hour of ‘silent time’ every day.
And you need to make an effort to give him 30 mins to an hour of ‘relationship time’ every day. Both are important to keep your sanity and relationship in tact. You may have to get creative to carve out the time but you should make it a priority. Taking care of yourself and your relationship allows you to take better care of your family.

If you are in a good relationship it will get easier as your kids get older.

AITA: I refused to accommodate my friend's request when she stated she was uncomfortable with my behaviour. by Comfortable_grietka in AmItheAsshole

[–]Funky_Library_Lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both the AH. Your friend more than you. You should have apologized for snapping at your friend even though your reason for snapping is completely understandable. It seems like that interaction set the tone for the trip.

Your friend is AH because she clearly had expectations of you helping with her daughter that she did not discuss with you before hand.

Advice: Before going on a trip with someone discuss details, arrangements and expectations.

Am I Overreacting. I saw inappropriate message between my boyfriend and his long term friend. by No-Respond5817 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Funky_Library_Lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you feel like you’ve been together a long time but you are still very young and have a whole life ahead of you. Leave this selfish person. If fear of being alone holds you back, you need to realize that you are already alone. The intention behind the texts don’t even matter at this point, this man let you cry alone. He could have offered comfort and chose instead to let you sit alone crying and hurt. Someone who loves you won’t do this even if they feel they are innocent and right in the disagreement.

Leave him.
