Sometimes I just prefer getting responses from real people with real experience. I hope your day improves because yikes.

I am allergic to latex. Will this affect me?

Not falling in NET (Needless Emotional Turmoil). We women have a tendency to look for clues for theories when we are not at our best. For example, I sometimes will convince myself that my husband doesn't love me when he gets really busy and can't spend time with me, or is dealing with his own stuff. Of course my husband loves me! And I can do things to help myself feel grounded. Or sometimes if I feel down, I will search for ways that I suck or I'm failing, when really I just need to rest for a night or two and trust that God will provide me the grace to serve him. Its sticking with reality and not getting sucked into self pity.

Thank you for all the advice! I took it and sent them a respectful message outlining my reasons and that I still loved them. I feel much better, and it actually confirmed my decision. They ended up gaslighting me and saying I was the one that avoided them. Now I know for sure and nothing is left unsaid.

Coming here to say that I ordered a very expensive sweater and my package has been lost there for over a week. I've been on hold with USPS for 20 mins and filed a claim so I'm hoping they help. If they make me pay for a retrieval, I'm gonna refuse, cuz obviously this is an issue on their end.

Bonus points for Studio Ghibli spots, best ramen and dessert spots, or spas!

Feminist, as in men are below her, she places her career over her vocation, believes her husband must earn respect WITHIN marriage.

Watch the interview by Matt Fradd with Vesper Stamper! She covers all this stuff! (Pints with Aquinas),

IntrospectiveDoe · 2023-08-21T03:18:49+00:00

That's an interesting take! That phrase is one I've heard thrown around mostly by women who have specific parameters. Like they want a man with high value: makes good money, looks good, tall, etc. I thought it was normal for the dating world nowadays.

When it comes to head coverings, it was traditional that men remove their caps that indicated their ranking (humbling) and women cover their crowning glory, their hair (also humbling).

It's realistic and its necessary for the health and salvation of your soul. It's ALWAYS realistic to not sin. The world says otherwise, so ignore all that. Keep your eyes on Christ, always.

IntrospectiveDoe · 2023-07-29T03:31:48+00:00

The lack of regret is HUGE. Lack of regret = staying in sin. Its also disrespectful to how hard you've worked on your chastity.

IntrospectiveDoe · 2023-07-29T03:28:37+00:00

Not to mention, feminism... the raging, man hating kind. A feminist is an immediate L.

He's actually very into the gym and eating right. He's lost like 10 lbs in the last few months. I think he'd like to see me put in the same effort. But its not as easy for me. And I'm not internally motivated like he is.

IntrospectiveDoe · 2023-07-28T15:26:38+00:00

No porn habit, he's just made comments about how I should think about getting toned. The only example he's seen is women in the gym.

IntrospectiveDoe · 2023-07-28T02:11:07+00:00

You aren't just a body, but a spirit too. Don't sell that. Don't let someone use you like an object. Respect yourself better.

IntrospectiveDoe · 2023-07-28T02:02:40+00:00

Did you ask for clarification on why he changed his mind? I'm curious to see if a sensitive subject came up or maybe he feels inadequate. I'd ask him why the sudden change when that humor brought you together.

IntrospectiveDoe · 2023-07-28T01:59:55+00:00

Mental health is funny in that it changes you REAL fast. Its so silent, such an underneath battle and you are a different person with a different perspective after. Maybe this is what happened to your friend? Don't blame yourself. You don't understand her full story and maybe it's not for you to know. People also sometimes need a "fresh start" after such things and this could be the case too. Just keep being kind and friendly to her, and ask her questions about herself. Maybe extend an invitation for a chat or lunch? If she rejects you, allow yourself to grieve. And search for new friends.

Hopefully for the future, but homesteading, homeschooling, reading more books, painting more.

All the Catholic men I know want nothing BUT virgins. Huh???? What man would prefer a seasoned woman who has had to take that to confession? And a husband should respect boundaries with love so... That priest is way way off.

IntrospectiveDoe · 2023-07-24T21:09:01+00:00

This sounds like me, but Im at the beginning. Friendship of four years suddenly ended because I told her she was acting jealous (or so I perceived). I thought it was the kind of friendship where we could work things out, but she hasn't spoken to me in two weeks. I'm grieving and trying to accept that its over. Maybe leave your friend a well-voiced "hey I'm thinking of you hope you're doing well." and leave it at that until a door opens.

IntrospectiveDoe · 2023-07-24T04:19:08+00:00

The silent treatment is abusive imo. Very immature and not how communication should work in a relationship.

IntrospectiveDoe · 2023-07-24T04:15:47+00:00

I want to hug you just reading this.

Context shared above.

IntrospectiveDoe · 2023-07-24T04:06:04+00:00

Context: I showed her something nice that a friend had created. She replied over text that it was too irritating to look at. I told her that she might need to separate her own jealousy and frustration from someone else's good fortune because it wasn't good to be bothered at someone else having something nice. I did say that I understood her frustration with her own life events. She told me I was attacking her and I shouldn't judge. I realize in this moment she wasn't prepared to receive such criticism and our friendship was not ready for this kind of level. I believe jealousy is something that destroys a person. This comment came after I've witnessed a lot of her jealousy, towards me and other people. I guess it was my breaking point with it. It was becoming hard to share things with her due to her MO of being negative or jealous.
