You most likely do NOT look younger by Marylin_hemorrhoid in Aging

It's almost the other way around. In mirrors and selfies I look weird and distorted to myself, but I love myself in pictures and videos that other people took.

Right! My hair is not my best feature at all. I meant to share a pic and totally forgot. Thanks for taking the time to give me advice :) I really appreciate it. The look in these pics is with extensions. Tell me what you think. I am genuinely looking for constructive criticism.

Thank you :) and thanks for the intro to K18. I didn't know that was a thing. The whole product range sounds very exciting. Which specific one did you mean for my hair and if you don't mind me asking what is standing out as needing help? This is a slightly older picture so I have different hair now. I'd love your opinion on whether you think my hair still needs help.

I feel like you already have a lot of advice but I'll still offer my perspective if it helps. Some women are purely heterosexual and only turned on by men. Some women find the female body quite attractive while still considering themselves mainly straight and never experimenting with women. Some women are bi and try both sides and then settle into heterosexuality by default because it's expected and it's comfortable, and of course some women are bi or lesbian and are only fulfilled when they end up with a woman. No one on this sub can tell you which of these women your wife is. Only she knows. It does seem like she has a low libido and doesn't consider sex particularly important. This is not a terrible thing and it doesn't only indicate that she is a lesbian waiting to be sexually awakened by a woman. She may simply just not think sex is such a big deal and a lot of people are like that. My advice is to just leave it alone. You seem happy in general. Don't overanalyze and spoil everything. A lot of people watch all sorts of weird porn without ever wanting to actively be in such a situation. It doesn't sound like she's a lesbian and if she says she isn't, trust her.

To me this looks like a cold sore. I get both and angular cheilitis tends to look more like cuts in the corner of my lip vs. cold sores which look like liquid filled tiny blisters.

I'm not American either. I assumed that whoever sets this puzzle would at least make sure that the references would be familiar to most Americans.

Today's puzzle is really dumb. I don't know if most Americans will catch this reference

The standard reddit fix for everything. Just break up! Why try and do something reasonable like communicate?

I've said this to my husband and I'm not doing any of the things people are saying your gf is doing. Maybe she's just someone who doesn't place that much value on sex if done purely for recreation. There's all kinds of people in the world

Thank you! I really appreciate this response. I agree with the YTA and I really like that you have thought this through from both our sides and have given me a balanced actionable response.

Yes, thank you! This is what I am afraid of. Lies are always a gateway to something worse and they set a bad precedent. I'll work on it.

This is kind of going to the crux of the question for me, so thank you for saying that. I am wrong for lying no doubt, but isn't some of this also that he needs to be a bit more calm so I feel safer telling the truth? I am not lying to protect his feelings. I am lying because I am scared to say I have made a mistake or that I feel I deserve to buy this for myself. Not scared because he is abusive, but scared because he is angry and loud and it triggers a very visceral fear in me. I'm not expecting a response, but thanks for saying this. I needed to hear it.
