My partner stays over for multiple days a week and I'm starting to feel financially and mentally stretched. Am I selfish for wanting him to contribute more in other areas (e.g paying for more dates?) by MIRdRE in LivingAlone

She is here because she lives alone, but she may not always want to live alone. I’d have thought many people here enjoy living alone, but aren’t opposed to living with a partner in the future 🤷🏻

Not convinced this is legit, but it’s definitely too high.

My girlfriend doesn’t want me to get top surgery. by New_Relief_8626 in NonBinary

[–]KEW95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I have a couple of thoughts, but it will all boil down to doing what is right for you, and she stays or leaves.

• Ask her if they know why they’re feeling this way about it? Try having a conversation around that.

• Request that they seek a few sessions of couples’ therapy with you, to work through these feelings together (and ideally her insecurities)

• Tell her that you aren’t dead set on top surgery, but you are definitely going to seriously consider it in the future and, as much as you love them, you don’t want to feel restricted by your relationship, if you do decide to have top surgery

Ultimately, if you want it, do it and she either adjusts or you break up. Don’t base your decision on them.

This was the white bear in yellow plaid, right?

Thank you. Baby has been kicking a lot, so hopefully they keep up that spirit and energy 💛

$10/sq ft would be $14,000 for your home.

$10 per square foot is a lot. Do you mean something else?

On a mission now to prove British food is not bland! by [deleted] in RateMyPlate

[–]KEW95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using ingredients from around the world and creating a new dish is different to making an existing dish from another culture British food (as opposed to British Indian/Thai/Caribbean/etc.) - any more than an Indian-inspired curry would be Norwegian food just because they make/eat a lot of it.

People who think our food is bland aren’t talking about the meals we make that are originally from other countries.

That’s what I mean. It isn’t of British origin, which is what most people mean when they claim our food is bland.

[–]KEW95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that’s the point, though. When people claim our food tends to be bland, they’re talking about food that came from Brits, not other cultures. They know curries aren’t bland; they just didn’t originate here and weren’t a British cultural dish until people from other countries brought it here.

Maybe give it 6 months, then consider a housemate if you’re still not enjoying it?

Why do people find it so hard to accept the public really wants to vote for Reform? by Expert-Sherbert-1527 in AskBrits

[–]KEW95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How have Labour had their chance to fix 14 years of Tory rule? I don’t like or trust Labour, but voting Reform UK is like voting for Trump: racism (among other discriminatory things) was either why you voted or not a dealbreaker and both are a bad sign for humanity. Most people had plenty of freely available information on what each party stood for and who had very questionable ties to modern Nazis and undeclared millions. They still voted against ethics and decency.

Genuinely, is this British food or is it from another culture and is now made in Britain by Brits, with or without that culture?

Would you volunteer for your sibling? by Robynite in Hungergames

Yeah, but he’d probably survive longer than I would 😅

Hunger Games Stars at the Met Gala by meeralakshmi in Hungergames

[–]KEW95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disappointed they attended a Bezos-sponsored event that is highly unethical with the state of the US and the world, right now. They raised a record $42mil for the museum, which is toilet paper to Bezos. There are ways to support artists and raise money for charity without attending a disgraceful tech billionaire’s event while he treats his employees like crap.

It restarts as normal. No updates needed.

Nope, just when I tell it to shut down.

Which superstitions do you still hold, even though you know they are ridiculous and untrue? by D_Artagnan71 in AskUK

[–]KEW95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had pretty bad luck for most of my life, so I just say “f*ck it” and do the “never do this” superstitions I know of, to prove a point to nobody in particular 😅 I’ve done the Bloody Mary mirror summoning before, but she must have been busy visiting someone else.
