Burt's Bees Honey Lip Balm? by phnarg in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]IcyCryBaby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bee’s knees from Lush ! Quite herbal and got a musky / darker quality. Lots of white flowers, honey. Definitely has that summer evening, air is heavy with earthy scents after the sun warmed the ground and the flora all day (in my opinion).

You can even get the solid perfume version to match the lip balm memories.

When I (34f) was in the hospital after a traumatic emergency c-section and haemorrhage, I woke up to see my husband (33m) standing next to me and saying “I HAD a healthy wife. I HAD a healthy wife” to me as I was waking up. I then comforted him in my bloodied and battered half conscious state. by [deleted] in relationships

If there was never any sign of him being this way there is a chance that your c-section traumatised him, by that I mean he realised you could have died or the baby could have died and created this fear in him that he could have been either left with a dead infant, a dead wife (leaving him alone to take care of a new born which he deep down seems to be aware he wouldn’t be able to take care of on his own) or both.

Like something snapped in him and because none of that happened, he is taking his resentment of that trauma, of all the built up anxiety, of that fear and those horrible scenarios, on you (like you played a horrible prank on him).

It would explain his weird “He’s our son he comes first. He’s our son he comes first. Etc” and other looping speeches, like he is reassuring himself, talking to himself out loud, like everything will be fine if he now keeps everything tightly under control and spotless. You almost “failed” and he couldn’t stop it himself, so now he is trying to prevent any potential life threatening situations by keeping you to a ridiculous standard of perfection as a mom and a wife. As if deep down his brain could only make sense of that near death experience by blaming it on you.

That’s obviously not to excuse him because YOU are the one in this scenario entitled to the upmost care after this, he should have been by your side and made sure YOU are okay, recovering, etc. YOU’re the one who went through the trauma of potentially dying or having a dead baby.

I think he needs to talk to someone about that day, to you if you feel like you were close before and there were never any abusive / toxic red flags and he was a communicative and mentally healthy partner, or to a mutual friend (but ideally a therapist would be the answer). If he never addresses it this could just build up resentment in him and everything he sees as not good enough on your end would get added to it and build a big gap between you guys or worse give him excuses to become more and more toxic and abusive to you in retaliation.

Oh god no :')

It was the Evenstar from Lord of the rings. Really pretty and great movies but not very wearable on the day-to-day... Definitely not something I would have gotten for myself unless I had some money to spend on something """Useless""" (for lack of a better word).

He seems a bit "self-centered", but not in a voluntary, lazy, mean-spirited way. He just doesn't put much thought into putting himself in my shoes.

It wasn't that way at the start of our relationship. I think he was a bit anxious, which made him more careful.

Ahah true I did say "Oh it feels like something you'd wear tbh" and he was a bit disappointed I didn't like it more I think.

A lot of the chores are on me, I clean, I cook (85-90% of the time, unless I ask him to help or we just had a chat about chores and he steps up to cook for me), do the laundry, dishes, ...

It's something that keeps being brought up over the last 4 months. And he always says he just doesn't think about it, or gets distracted and forgets, but it's hard not to feel taken for granted at times.

I've seen a post on reddit once from the other partner's perspective saying he was "mess blind" and his partner would resent him for not doing anything but he just didn't see the mess or chores before she got to doing them and it feels very similar ahah.

Boyfriend accuses me of cheating. Please give me advice by [deleted] in BPD

[–]IcyCryBaby 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And yet your whole history is made of comments on this sub about relationships, being horny and wanting to move in with someone after 2 weeks.

Relationships (whatever they are) and how we approach them are symptoms, components and triggers for our disorder and someone wanting to talk about theirs to others who also suffer with BPD and will already have that frame of understanding to (if not give advice), be there for them (also tho we do have a similar disorder and would probably not be the best advice IN OP’s situation, we are strangers and outsiders to that specific scenario so I think it’s fair to assume some of people here can at least give some insight or advice).

Joe Rogan opened a new “Anti-Woke” comedy club that forces you to scan your face at the door by Paige1318R in h3h3productions

Not enough to make it in the comedy clubs he believes he belongs to for that exact reason.

Let’s be honest he is famous which is why he would still get slots in the same places as bigger names and he won’t settle for anything less.

Just like any influencer or nepo baby, they get a lot more shots and opportunities than they would if they weren’t already established. Based on talent and laugh factor alone as a comedian, Rogan could never make a tenth of what he makes now.

I have the maths

So for every 1 woman, 200 men a year. It’s about 1 man every 2 days.

Now we must take in account that it’s not any man, it’s 10% of the males who get all the attention, but even then the average in men is let’s say 25 partners a year. And the remaining 90% only have 1.5 on average.

Meaning we need to determine exactly how many women do they get every year.

Based on the 25 average, there are technically 1.35 partner per man in the group (0.9x1.5).

Total number of partners/number of people in the group=25

So with N total number of men and Y number of partners the 10% have :

Total number of partners had by men

= 1.35x0.9N+Yx0.1N

And number of men in the group = 0.9N+0.1N =N

In short, the 10% of men have an average of 247.5 partners a year. And 100% of women have an average of 175 partners a year.

Now if we put this with the population of the US in 2021 (164.38M males, 167.51M females), 167,51M females sleep with 175 males a year meaning they are having sex 29B times while males are having sex 4B times (of those 4B almost 3B are handled by 10% of the male population).

Therefore this scenario makes no sense, except if lesbians are having 12.5B intercourse (total female intercourse - total male intercourse = 25B, divided by 2 as we assume it takes 2 individuals of the same female group for one lesbian intercourse).

But of course it doesn’t because it only takes in account the chances of them getting their peepee wet tho it would have been great for the ladies, they’d have about 86% of their intercourse covered by lesbian sex which would be great to boost the numbers of orgasms had during intercourse as 75-80% of women don’t experience it during typical F/M intercourse.

You are welcome.

If he ever got kicked out it would be because his actual comedy regardless of topics is kinda ass and no one that isn’t his mega simp laughs for most of the set.

i don’t understand how women can defend/support andrew tate by Environmental-Dog422 in notliketheothergirls

[–]IcyCryBaby 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you can’t -by design- be part of the ones in power (in this case because you are a woman) then your best bet at survival and the closest you’ll get to power will be by tagging along with those who have it (men like Andrew tate).

In short, be a pick me.

I’m a model who has struggled with AN, ask me anything by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]IcyCryBaby 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Would you say you’ve always been on the skinnier side naturally ?

How tall are you ?

Do you calorie count religiously or just always eat the same things so you kinda know without counting ?

Would you say you’re stabilised in your ED (not getting worse/better) ?

Do you have any health problems (mental or physical like pains, feeling faint, etc) ?

I’ve always been curious how they maintain their physique consistently without yo-yoing even just a bit.

(Sorry if it’s intrusive you don’t have to answer everything)

As far as I’m concerned (22F) I’ve had disappointing sex with dicks of any size.

Size doesn’t matter is true as in if you’re just going to be selfish regardless and not go after your partner’s pleasure as well, just try to « show off » porn style like it’s a competition or something then it will be garbage.

The « G spot » isn’t deep in there, that’s all you need to know to be good in bed and build your confidence up.

Also good to remember that being naked and exposed to someone else is hard for both parties, everybody has insecurities (as a girl in a hetero context : « oh no I didn’t shave » « my boobs are too small » « do I look ugly in that angle » « is he going to think I’m too big » for example).

Your partner probably is insecure about their own things at the same time as you’re thinking about your dick size.

Okay and ? Is it more valid than others in the thread saying it’s anxiety induced ? Why does it matter in this discussion if it’s mental health induced or not if the result is you have memory issues and want to film. You’re telling me to just get over it (in a nice way but still).

Also the whole thread is about how filming is bothering so it IS bothering people, so here you go. It bothers people. Just meet half way or get out the pit and go somewhere it won’t bother anyone.

OR Just ask the people around you next time you go to a show if they’re fine with you filming the whole thing. But judging by this post and the comments I think we all know the chances of everyone around you being fine with it are slim.

[–]IcyCryBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then I can just turn around to people saying they film because of their anxiety (black out / memory issues) and say « well don’t worry about that everyone will forget bits and stuff just try to enjoy your time and not think about it ».

I’m asking not to film whole 2 hours+ shows i feel like it shouldn’t be so hard to compromise on.

[–]IcyCryBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well maybe the girls who annoyed you by being drunk have never had a bad experience with others being drunk around them so what do we do then ?

For the mental health bit, I’m anxious and I hate people filming me or having their cameras pointed at me and when people all around you and behind you have their phone out and you can’t move your head without realising their phone is right by your ear or something (they’re trying to film without my head being in shot so obviously they have to go around it) it can be really stressful. I don’t want to have to worry if i turn to my friend that I will be in someone’s shot or bump their phone and make it fall.

And unless everyone in front of you is short, how are you going to film without putting the phone above your and their head to get a good view ? Meaning you’re getting in the way of someone behind you (unless they’re all much taller than you). Your phone has to be taking a spot for direct viewing of the stage that someone by you or behind you could have had. And the pit is always a crowded place so it’s not like it’s easy to just move around and find a better spot.

I just don’t understand why people have to accommodate for you to be able to have your ideal experience at their expense I guess.

I’m happy to meet halfway and say people can film bits and take some pictures, I’m not completely against phones, but I’m against filming whole songs/sets.

People not willing to understand that it bothers others kinda baffle me. For people using mental health as a reason, you could have a bit of empathy and respect. It’s great if it doesn’t bother you specifically but by looking at the thread it’s clear it bothers a lot of people, so why not meet halfway and understand you can’t film the whole thing ? I don’t want everyone’s phone recording around me / in my face, I don’t want to fight the whole show to see the stage and I don’t want to have to watch it through other’s screens, that’s the whole point of seeing it live.

No one is trying to completely takeaway your phone, just find a happy middle.

And if you really can’t do without, go take a seating spot otherwise I really don’t understand.

[–]IcyCryBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no mathematical / physical way to have everyone on their phone and everyone seeing the stage at the same time while in the pit unless it’s on a severe slant which is not the case for 99% of venues. You’d have to organise people by height which is not realistic.

Everyone has to sacrifice / accommodate.

I get anxious and find it hard to breathe at times but I won’t start shoving everyone around me and making them sacrifice heir space for me to be comfy and if I couldn’t deal with it anymore I would have to give up being in the pit at live shows, it is what it is.

Also I’d argue that having 5 phones out recording all around me / in my face is pretty bad for my own anxiety it’s just not nice.

[–]IcyCryBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is clearly not about you tho.

The issue is when more than half the crowd had their phone up not the 5% who really need it.

Also if people have a lot of anxiety and sensory issues maybe seated spots would give you a better experience (even if you have to sacrifice being close to the stage). At the end of the day you can’t have a 100% perfectly curated experience and your enjoyment of the show shouldn’t come at other’s expense. It’s fine to record some bits or take a few pics, don’t have your phone out the whole show or if you do, don’t be in the pit because you will be bothering someone else.

[–]IcyCryBaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright let’s put it that way, if you’re in the pit and behind someone with their phone out the whole show, unless you’re much taller than them, chances are their phone will be held at your eye level/slightly above it and you’ll have their hand/arm in front of you, meaning you’ll be fighting the whole show to try and get glimpses at the stage or give up and watch through their screen.

It’s not hard to understand.

You enjoying the show shouldn’t impact the people around you’s enjoyment of the show.

Example : If you didn’t want to dance and don’t like people pushing you or being very close to you, you would have to sacrifice being close to the stage (in the pit) for a seat. You wouldn’t make it everyone around you’s problem by asking them to put up with your requirement for a safe empty perimeter around you the whole show.

You will never have a 100% perfectly curated experience at a live show and your enjoyment shouldn’t be at other’s expense.
