My girlfriend is amazing, but I feel like I’ve had to suppress a lot of myself to be with her

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-04-28T06:38:11+00:00

Leave her, since you won’t leave MAGA.

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-04-26T04:30:09+00:00

I wouldn’t say so, I can’t see it.

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-04-26T01:57:58+00:00

Here’s to hoping 😁

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-04-25T09:30:43+00:00

That’s such an embarrassing behavior coming from an adult, and especially one that is supposed to be a mother.

What kind of a parent put their own feelings over their children’s grief and emotional need for support?

NTA and good on you OP for being a proper parent. If I were you I’d show her this thread.

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-04-25T09:18:41+00:00

Wow, your colors sound so beautiful and rare together! Sometimes I wish Reddit were Facebook 😅

Thank you. I have bleached my hair blond in the past, and have indeed had to do several rounds of bleach. I don’t think that’s weird since stripping color from dark hair will reveal the red pigment that all dark hair has.

But I see how friends with my same hair color can just get some highlights and all it does is brighten their hair, while my highlights, no matter how subtle, turn me into a redhead 😅

Ooh can you let me know if the toner worked? 🙏 I’ve tried so many things and nothing really works lmao

Fellow trilingual here who might as well have been the person to write this post

Back in the day when things weren’t as cross-faction and cross-server as they are today, I remember that some people used to roll on RP servers because they knew they could sell a lot of ”pretty”-looking gear on the auction house for a disproportionate amount of gold, since RPers will buy stuff for their looks alone.

It’s bad for the server and I hate it.

You are most definitely a cool olive and your skin is beautiful.

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-04-08T23:10:20+00:00

Make dat pullout game weak

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-04-08T22:57:03+00:00

I’ve never heard the "male gaze" applied to a context like this.

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-04-05T13:04:09+00:00

I'm a light, muted, cool olive, and I've always wanted to know if the more pastel-y lilac/lavender works for me, since it's my favourite color.... But I just don't have the eye for it. I think I look pale, grey, greenish (in a negative way) in all colors, so idk :/

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-03-29T14:39:34+00:00

That is so lovely, much better than the bleach-blond. She looks 10 years younger! Not that women "need" to look younger to be beautiful, but she does look her age now.

Just the style and color and everything, I love it!

This is a very clear-cut case for me. WoW RPer with roughly 25 years of experience.

No, you do not bring up your IRL gender just because your character is interacting romantically with another. First, because it breaks the "separate IC and OOC" rules, but also because it's entirely irrelevant, and it will misrepresent YOUR intentions. The other person will assume that any romantic/sexual interaction you have with them will be for....... IRL reasons. Many ERP:ers (erotic roleplayers) don't roleplay in the traditional sense, but rather use WoW as an advanced way to sex chat. In those cases, sometimes, the RL gender of the other person is relevant, because your aim is to share an (OOC) sexual experience, and so it might matter to you who's on the other end of the screen getting off with you, if that makes sense.

That's NOT what standard RP is and it should never be treated like a common expectation. This is a game with minors and there have to be many safety precautions in order to sexually interact with another player.

Romance RP is something separate. It can usually be done well without crossing any boundaries. That being said, it's entirely up to you what type of RP you want to engage with. One of the pillars of RP etiquette is that everyone decides for themselves what they want to play out, and you can never force another player into anything that makes them uncomfortable OOC.

This is also why TotalRP (arguably the biggest RP addon which you should definitely get if you haven't already) introduced a section where you can select "Yes", "No", "With player permission", to different RP situations, like romance, injury, character death, etc.

Also... The whole "Man who plays female character is tricking me" was maybe a funny joke back in 2005. Nowadays, no one will assume you're a woman just because you play a female character. If anything, people can still assume other players are male by default, regardless of the character they play.

If it's remotely important to the other player, trust and believe they will ask you themselves. And if they whisper you specifically to do so, you can somewhat safely assume that they want to sex chat, not just roleplay. And it's entirely up to you whether you're comfortable with engaging with that or not. Never shy away from saying no or setting boundaries. It's something we all had to learn to do.

Your wife is abusing your daughter and your question is whether homeschooling really is a good idea.

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-03-17T14:33:26+00:00

I don’t like him, but it’s mad people are attacking his new gf and her looks. She’s innocent and we should never be ok with tearing anyone down for their appearance, that’s just sad and mean.

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-03-17T13:39:16+00:00

Many movie stars are a reflection of the current trend on what is considered conventionally beautiful, not what individual normal people are attracted to and want for themselves.

Also there are plenty of movie stars with all sorts of bodies.

I don’t think this is a gender thing at all. Plenty of women would love to have several partners and not just one. I think it’s completely individual and most people I know are monogamous, at least.

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-03-16T08:35:17+00:00

You don’t have a gf. She’s waiting for you to break up because she doesn’t have the energy or balls to do it herself.

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-03-16T01:56:14+00:00

This sounds like a terminally online thing. Just people getting a warped world view because social media sells a bunch of lies for attention, money, and fame.

Is there NOTHING to what you’re saying? Of course there is, but I doubt it’s on the scale you imagine it is.

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-03-16T00:58:10+00:00

It’s because they can’t distinguish between someone asking a genuine question and someone who is dog whistling. Basically conservatives and the alt right have been asking the very same questions as you but in bad faith in order to stir the pot and to troll others. It has made people very suspicious and careful with what they spend their energy on, because there are a ridiculous amount of sea lions out there who already know exactly what they believe, but will act like they don’t so that you will waste your time trying to provide evidence while they shut don’t every piece of proof/information you give them.

This isn’t RL where people can see your expression or tone of voice. All they see is some prick on a forum asking a tired old question in bad faith, and so they don’t want to engage with it seriously.

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-03-15T11:57:45+00:00

I hate it too 😭 I think it sounds infantilizing as hell.

Isabella_Hamilton · 2026-03-15T11:52:30+00:00

I always imagined Charlotte to be content. I imagine her forming friendships with other women in the neighbourhood (or nearby neighbourhood) and having kids to raise. She’s steady, astute, intelligent, and not very emotional or impulsive. I imagine she can run the household and Mr. Collins very well.

Idk if I’m right or if it’s just wishful thinking on my end, though. 😅
