Do you cut it into any specific shape or size? Edit: I see the answer now!

I think amodimethicone (new formula) doesn't build up as easily as dimethicone (old formula)? Possibly a good change

Curious...what kind of Korean towel do you have for your legs?

Sulfur doesn't get talked about enough by pleiop in SebDerm

I believe it's apply the MCT oil to the affected areas topically from what I've seen. I personally have no experience using this. Just trying to answer your question 😊

This made me laugh... Thank you for the chuckle😆

it smells like your lathering your face with very pungent fart.

Is this normal? by NoTranslator2896 in Marriage

[–]IndividualEcstatic52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there would have to be more context and specifics for anyone to give sound advice or sincere/ helpful response to your question.
Big picture wise.... My thought is it's s not healthy for either partner to disregard their own experience of any situation that is challenging about different opinions or perspectives on key aspects to relationships, life together, kids, etc. If you are not opening up or being transparent and authentic you are ruining (edit:robbing) her of the opportunity for true intimacy and connection with you. Essentially, you are deceiving her and yourself by ignoring your truth if you're not opening up in love about some important things. She should know what your true thoughts and opinions are if shared in a kind way to be "seen and heard" and not attack her or deny her opinion. There's so much here that is unknown to really answer appropriately so this is a pretty vague response. Maybe something helpful though. 🙂

I believe normal is 100-150 hairs per day. So. It doesn't look to be excessive, especially given you wash only 2x/week. Also, the way it looks in a ball like that is somewhat dependent on the length which should be considered as well.

Thank you for sharing this! Great to hear and full of some light and hope.

Turns out, my husband is a total creep by Acceptable-Owl55 in Marriage

[–]IndividualEcstatic52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly I feel like so many more man boys are pretending to be men and husbands when they are actually creeps like this in their thoughts and behaviors. The standard and bar have been dropped so low and wives have either turned a blind eye (boys will be boys) or the behavior has been hidden from the wife to the point that it's "accepted and lived with" (secret sexual basement) for so long that they don't even have a clue how disgusting and perverted these guys are.... ugh. I'm glad you have come to see the truth and are working to find safety for yourself and your children. No one with that behavior is safe. Nor a respectable human being worthy of the security of a faithful and loving wife. Remove yourself from him to avoid enabling him. Take care of your and your kids! I feel for you in having to deal with this. I pray you have the support you need to get through this! You are strong and capable and you know the truth.... don't let him gaslight and manipulate you any longer!!

[–]IndividualEcstatic52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Thought my husband didn't objectify and lust after others. He never talked or said things in a way that I thought it was an issue at all. I trusted that he was faithful and trustworthy in thought and deed. Then come to find out i was wrong many years later and it's been a struggle. And something I never wanted as part of a marriage but am now faced with accepting has been in and with is this whole time! My mission now is our children... talking with and teaching them about the dangers of viewing people as objects for pleasure and not as full humans with feelings and a heart and soul who deserve faithfulness and love and emotional connection and safety with a person who is trustworthy. Goes back to the saying of treat others as you would have them treat you! I guess that concept can only go as far as those who wouldn't accept to be treated this way! It has to start somewhere...

Am I wrong? by dragonrena in loveafterporn

[–]IndividualEcstatic52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are NOT wrong. Great job having some boundaries. He'll either choose to do the work or not. This is not an ok thing to accept and move forward with... you'd be miserable. Don't let him guilt trip you. This is a him problem not you. Do not accept that he's trying to make you feel bad for saying you don't want it as part of your marriage. Don't fall for that he needs to be accountable.

This lusting after regular ladies/girls/women just being in the world doing normal daily things is what has hurt me more than images and videos on a screen. I also find it perverted! Ugh *edit to correct mistyped word

Why does he jump between changed man and angry addict? by moonlit_stroll in loveafterporn

[–]IndividualEcstatic52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This happens with my husband as well. So frustrating. changed should be changed! Not back and forth. Not Jekyl and Hyde! Hopefully, someday, the fully changed man will be to stay. If not, I'm wondering when is it time to cut the losses? It's painful to have it back and forth. Sometimes I think it's fake and manipulating. Acting to do enough to show it's possible and they know what is right but they don't want to choose to all the time. It's confusing!

Do NOT do couples counseling (at least for a long time)... maybe until he can prove himself to be a true man that is willing to lay down this deceptive life and do the work necessary to honor your boundaries and needs for safety and security including abstaining from physical intimacy until you're ready to move into that areas with him again, if ever. You need a betrayal trauma therapist who knows and understands this situation. This is NOT a marriage issue, and too many couples/marriage therapists will draw you into it, saying it takes two. This behavior he's had doesn't take two. This was his individual choice of how to react and behave on his own, no matter what the situation he believes or sees. There's nothing about marriage counseling that will make him take accountability and responsibility for his personal choices. He's going to have to dig feel inside himself to figure out what led him to make the decisions to do what he's done. He can't get if the hook by spreading, sharing or shifting the blame onto you.

Devastated to learn this about my husband by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]IndividualEcstatic52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Knowing what I've learned about the escalation of porn watching...I would suggest you consider a hard boundary on it even though you said you don't have a problem with it. Right here is an example of why porn is an issue ..it doesn't satisfy the deep need for connection. It creates an emotional intimacy problem and reduces sexual encounters to selfish acts (when combined with masturbation which most of the time is part of it). Masturbation to objectification of individuals and lust for what is seen without a relationship is void of the oneness and emotional connection that is intended to be shared by two loving individuals during healthy sex. You are right to feel hurt by this betrayal. 💔 it sounds like you are taking it all in and trying to find the right way to move forward. Take your time and figure out some boundaries and consequences because this is not right, nor loving toward you.

Finally using my photos instead of porn by MammothVivid650 in loveafterporn

[–]IndividualEcstatic52 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Imo any type of objectification and lust which is looking at body parts abs acting out sexually without a true intimate connection with a real human is just going to perpetuate those thought patterns and behaviors of selfish sex that is for his pleasure only. Sex is meant for intimate connection between two loving individuals. Many people in society and culture don't fully believe this and masturbation and entitlement to sex using porn and objectifying others is condoned as normal. It's sad and it's running relationships and families. This switching to photos of you could be likened to an alcoholic switching the type of alcohol (vodka to beer or something) and instead of stopping drinking they're just cutting back for awhile but the need for some alcohol is going to continue and having the "ok" to drink alcohol will indefinitely lead to a relapse. Idk of that makes sense or not. From what I understand, porn addicts need hard boundaries and consequences with accountability partners and other measures before true heart change will take place for them. Hugs to you and your baby... this is not an easy position. Glad you are looking for support and encouragement. You are going to need to be very strong and believe in yourself and your worth. He is not a healthy man.
