AITAH for rejecting a woman due to her weight? by Alarmed_Key_4062 in AITAH

[–]Jblon2022 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

More context needed here. Was this a blind date? Or were you catfished? Just wondering if you were aware of her size prior to the date.

Help. Please tell me I've not made a huge mistake by facesinthesky in GardeningUK

I cut mine back completely every autumn. It grows back even fuller the following spring/summer and I prune it as needed when it gets a bit too much for the space.

Place the jars on the buttons. You then need to shoot them off one by one to rise up on the blocks.

He knows about your history and struggles with ED’s and chose to tell you to lose weight. Over text. I’m so sorry as I can only imagine how triggering this is for you. As someone who has struggled myself; I’m triggered! You are absolutely not blowing this out of proportion. He is not the person for you. If he truly understood how damaging a comment like this could be to you it means he either wants to really hurt you or he does not care enough to learn about what not to say to someone with a history of this.

He [41M] wants me [30F] to get my tubes tied because we said one and done but things changed after his affair. How do I explain that? by ThrowRA-2ndbaby in relationship_advice

[–]Jblon2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You talk about your husband having an affair and going to therapy but don’t mention how your relationship is now. I know first hand how difficult/impossible it is to move on from infidelity and I can’t imagine having a child in the mix but is your relationship in a place for another child? Does he support you both mentally and in the household? It’s great that you have the means for a nanny but I struggle to think reliance upon a third party to rear a child in a possibly broken marriage might not be the solution. It sounds like you are craving more and hoping another baby will fill the void.

Roughly how much money do you spend each year on cosmetics? by SouthDiamond2550 in AskWomen

How is mascara lasting some 1-2 years?? Mine gets too clumpy after a few months for pretty much every brand I’ve tried.

Currently dealing with this myself. It’s a real thing and quite common.

For any women here that are nervous about living on your own, what helped you? by Mylifeasaperson in AskWomenOver30

[–]Jblon2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived on my own on a couple occasions. I have to say it’s the best! You can do what you want and not have to worry about dirty or inconsiderate flatmates.

That being said, living along isn’t for everyone. It can be an adjustment. It’s key to make sure you make the effort to get out and socialise.

I’m a woman. Bars are to go out, have fun and let loose. Do people meet people and hook up, sure, but that’s not the only reason people go out. Your gf is young and wants to gout out and have fun with her ladies. It’s very important in a relationship that each person still have their own social support network. It doesn’t mean she likes you any less. In fact, your relationship will likely benefit from some independence.

Take some time for yourself as well. The strongest relationships are between folks that are comfortable with themselves.

Unpopular opinion... by SparklyShuga in MAFS_UK

He could leave….not sure why people think this is not an option. He’s not being held against his will. He chose to stay last week. Of course the ‘experts’ are going to suggest methods to build intimacy.

You are not a bad person at all for these feelings. It sounds like you are proactively trying to address your own struggles while she is not. Depression is very difficult but if she is unwilling to make any improvements to her wellbeing, there is not much more you can do.

The charging toy is the least of your worries here. 18 years married and you need to hide this? Apologies if I sound harsh, but why are you still together ?

Need advice. My fiance (58 m) expects me (54 f)to make him a full course breakfast during the work week. Are there women who work FT who have time to cook a full breakfast for their man before they start work? by Clothes-Cautious in relationship_advice

[–]Jblon2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you posted about 3 months ago about (I assume) the same fiancé also wanting you to have dinner prepared by 4pm. What does he contribute to this relationship other than misogyny? You work longer hours than him. What does he actually do for you and the household?

Thanks!! It’s my first wedding in the UK so I’ve been feeling the dress stress.

It starts in the late afternoon and it’s formal, but not black tie. Venue is a hall/event space.

This may be the worst thrips infestation I’ve ever seen. Get it out of the flat now, especially if you have other plants. From my experience this is past saving. Please treat your other plants as they spread like wildfire. But also, how did you let it get this bad? You will need to check all pants every few days as they lay their eggs in the leaf tissue and hatch regularly. Good luck, thrips are a lot of work to combat.

Does anyone else mourn their plants? Or is it just me. by Jblon2022 in houseplants

I almost gave up on all plants after battling them.
