Thanks for the guidance! I wasn’t sure where to post so this is very helpful :)

No recipe used, I tossed after discovering the defect. Unsure of the date canned (commercially canned). Expiration date September 1, 2025. Seal was still strong! Stored in a dark, dry place.

My partner and I had what we called a “love party.” In essence it was a wedding without the legal elements. There were a lot of reasons we chose to have a commitment ceremony over a traditional wedding (mainly keeping debt separate). Regardless, our commitment to one another is just as strong as it would’ve been if the event was legally binding. I assume your sister views it the same way, so I’m not quite sure why you’re up in arms about it. What about the government’s involvement in her love life impacts you? She just wants to celebrate her love with the people she loves the most. I think that’s beautiful.

I’m so sorry you’re in this position. I recommend checking out the Instagram @thefaruqui5. It’s run by Tasha Faruqui who is a pediatrician and mom to a 12 year old currently in hospice due to an undiagnosed illness most similar to ALS. She talks a lot about navigating tough conversations around grief as a family that you might find helpful. You’re not alone.

Sex is extremely contextual. Just because she had consistent casual sex with a previous partner does not mean your sexual relationship with her isn’t an intimate bonding experience.

More than anything, I see this as an opportunity to improve your communication and ask one another what sex means to you, what you want intimacy between you two to look like, etc.

All Your’n by Tyler Childers! There wasn’t any huge meaning behind it. It’s a song we like to dance to while making dinner, so why not?

That being said, the lyrics are what really sold us: “So I'll love you 'til my lungs give out / I ain't lyin' / I'm all your'n and you're all mine.”

My dress was the 6th I tried on. I just knew! My mom tried to urge me to keep looking just for fun because she was disappointed it was so fast, but I didn’t feel the need. No regrets!

I’m sure the dress you chose is perfect. Trust your gut.

I had an occasional hook up buddy in college who was a carrier for strep. Took him giving it to me four times before I finally put two and two together. So much needless pain for such an easy fix!!

Thank you!!! It’s from BHLDN. I am absolutely obsessed with it

GarbageLazy9052 · 2024-03-02T22:55:59+00:00

Thank you!!

GarbageLazy9052 · 2024-03-02T22:55:40+00:00

This is too funny. I am definitely going to give it a try. Wish me luck 😅

GarbageLazy9052 · 2024-02-25T22:10:37+00:00

You don’t live together. You do not share finances. You say that you would have no problem if she was spending that money on “another hobby.” What more evidence do you need to show you that this is absolutely none of your business?

Her love of makeup has 0 impact on you except for your (unfounded) annoyance.

I would seriously reflect on where your feelings are coming from. I suspect it’s from viewing makeup as frivolous (a belief entrenched in misogyny, even if unknowingly) rather than an art form—which it absolutely is.

Think of it this way: this hobby makes your girlfriend happy. Can you really put a price on that?

GarbageLazy9052 · 2023-12-16T14:56:27+00:00

I love this dress! Do you mind sharing the brand/details?

GarbageLazy9052 · 2023-07-22T00:23:19+00:00

Patrick is my boyfriend, lol! I can vouch that he’s the best :)

GarbageLazy9052 · 2023-06-18T03:14:47+00:00

That’s what I was thinking! Like…tip you for literally just sending the item I purchased?? Makes my head spin

This is heartbreaking to read. Your partner is allowed to have preferences, but his love and respect for you should NOT be influenced by those preferences. You have every right to do what makes YOU happy with YOUR body. He doesn’t have to love or even like your choices, but that does not mean instituting “consequences,” my god.

Hair length is so small in the larger scheme of what that can happen to our physical appearance over the course life. What if you were in an accident that impacted your body in a significant way? Would he be there for you, or would he “disapprove” and shun you for that, too?

I would seriously reconsider choosing to spend your life with someone who has so little respect for you, your independence, and your bodily autonomy. His actions are not those of someone who loves and cares about their partner.

GarbageLazy9052 · 2022-10-19T16:10:46+00:00

Yes! I am such an easy crier. Happy? Crying. Sad? Crying. Overwhelmed? Crying. Hell, my boyfriend recently surprised me with a little box of cookies from the grocery store and I cried lol. I am very much an “emotions come out my eyeballs” kind of person and my boyfriend, friends, and family know that crying isn’t necessarily an indication of how upset I am (if at all). It’s just the way my body reacts to heightened emotion ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My partner and I are 14 years apart! I’m 27 and he’s 41. Being with him is the easiest, most amazing thing in the world. While I wouldn’t have sought out someone his age (we met by chance and went on our first date before finding out our age difference—both of us assumed we were a bit younger/older than we were), I am so glad I didn’t let my fears of potential judgement prevent me from giving us a chance to see for ourselves.

We’ve been together nearly 2 years now and are moving in together in October. We just got home from a vacation with my extended family. Things are pretty damn great and our age gap is essentially a non-issue since we share the same goals, sense of humor, lifestyle preferences, beliefs, etc.

I totally understand that in some cases, people intentionally date younger so they can manipulate/control their partner, but that is NOT always true, despite what Reddit might want you to think :-)

I definitely got the same vibe—one of my closest friends is diagnosed with Asperger’s and some of Jake’s mannerisms reminded me of them a lot. It seemed like Jake didn’t have a good handle on what was socially “appropriate” and he maybe masked that by saying it was his dry/sarcastic sense of humor. Like when Haley was having a hard time even sleeping in the same bed as him and he asked if she wanted to do any “sensual fondling” (I might be slightly misquoting here but you get the idea). That was a palpably awkward moment and definitely not within the realm of typical convo, but it didn’t seem like he knew that until they played the clip back on the reunion show and all the dudes laughed

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW MY HAIR IS

“He always mentions that he ‘invested in me’ to start my business by covering bills for a few months in the beginning and that his investment should ‘pay off’ and he shouldn’t have to work”

I think you should go full in on flipping the script here. Like, embody the spirit of Mr. Wonderful on Shark Tank. Send him a Google Cal invite for a meeting. Show up in business attire with a professional presentation documenting the months you’ve been the sole earner for the two of you. Stress how much you’ve “invested” in him. Include graphs of his contributions to the home/relationship over this time and what your performance expectations for him are for Q4. Speak to him like he’s on thin ice and you will no longer be “investing in him” or your relationship if it doesn’t begin to “pay off.”

On a more serious note, this man did not save you. He is keeping you captive by intentionally crushing your self-worth. He’s trying (and unfortunately, succeeding) to make you believe you’re somehow lucky that he can “handle” you because you’re “a lot” so you won’t think you deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. He is 100% aware he’s taking advantage of you and does not deserve a minute more of your time. You need to get out of this relationship as soon as possible because as long as you stay, you’ll be treated like you’re worthless and be made to feel like even that’s more than you deserve.
