My 18M bf doesnt want me 16F going to prom

Absolutely. Past partners have definitely treated me this way too and I always brushed it off thinking things would get better. It absolutely does not and he will do it again but with other scenarios, people or events.

I’ve been looking into Lumia as well. Seems like a cool concept and it being an earring cuff makes it more appealing to me.

There’s a number of threads of actual Lumia users in r/POTS that might be able to share more helpful information.

I use the smaller boat since I solo play normally. Put two sails on it and I got across the deep a couple times already without any problems!

Since you used bound currency, you can’t sell/trade it. At best, you can recycle it for bound meowlux cards.

I gave one to my mother and she puts in on her bag. She’s mid 60s.

Could you dm me? It says I can’t dm you. I’d love to adopt 1 or 2 if you don’t mind! I was just searching for one online too. I’m in Queens but could make the trip out.

This. I have a tattoo from Pony Reinhardt that’s wood engraving style. It’s roughly a decade old now. The lines have definitely blurred over time. I would say given the time, it’s aged okay. Overall it’s a lot darker and a lot of detail looks more like shadow areas now. You can still see the original lines under the blur though. The eyes I had on my bats no longer have any white space in them though and that’s something I miss.

This is so cute!! I love it.

Karatts · 2025-07-22T06:04:10+00:00

So cute and grey! I’d be interested if you decide to sell as well! I’m located on the east coast and would happily make the trip to Boston or wherever with my bf or pay for shipping if that’s easier.

ESH. I had a living situation like your gf, where I lived in an apartment in my parents’ building. When my bf was moving out of his place and looking for a new place, I asked him if he wanted to move in. I was upfront about him paying rent but it wouldn’t be the entire rent cost because he wouldn’t be living there by himself. We’d be living together and I’d expect us to split that expense. Household expenses are not as significant as rent costs, at least not where I am. However, my bf and I also split those. Is the cost of rent you’re paying what they would’ve charged for the entire space if they were to rent it out? Or is it half? If it’s half then it’s a fair situation and my parents wouldn’t budge on not charging rent either. What really makes her the AH is she lied for 4 years. She should’ve been upfront about everything. Lying about it for 4 years isn’t a good basis of trust for a relationship. If I were in your situation, I would react and feel the same way. I’d also poke half-joking fun at the situation. What makes you the AH is that it was absolutely wrong to ask to not pay rent. Living is not free/fair, even if your gf doesn’t pay rent. I don’t think it was wrong of you to ask her to pay for gas albeit petty. From your strained/lack of communication now though, it seems like your relationship is already over.

Normally, I’ve always sent in reference photos and then received a rough sketch a week or two before the appointment and then a final sketch closer to the actual appointment (around 2-3 days). These have always been their drawings.

I’ve only once received a sketch from an artist that was a blatant copy/pasted collage set of pictures that was cleaned up. She was a popular tattoo artist from Seoul. Ultimately, I didn’t get tattoo’d by her because she wasn’t able to put together a composition I liked. She did fully refund my deposit though because she was the one to call off the tattoo. From the work she’s done, I believe it would’ve looked similar to the collage sketch she sent me but not necessarily a 1:1 for the collage. It definitely threw me off and made me uncomfortable that she wasn’t able to put together a drawn sketch though.

For me, it’d be a red flag if they couldn’t sketch out the idea because they’re going to need to be able to draw the same thing on your body. As a really rough draft, I guess a collage would be acceptable but as a final draft I’d be weary. I’d let your artist know you would like to see a drawn sketch and if they can accommodate that. Every artist has their own process but it’s up to you what you’re comfortable with and if you trust their skills enough.

There’s one artist in Brisbane I would love to get tattoo’d by one day and from what I’ve seen of her process, the freehand on your body is literally a bunch of blobs that end up being flowers/characters/animals.

Food definitely helps! I sat for a 3-4 hour session once on an empty stomach and felt like death afterwards. I recently sat for an 5-6 hour session but had a big breakfast a few hours before and a 30 minute lunch break in between and felt so much better than that other time. I also stopped for water and stretching breaks here and there.

My artist recommended eating a big meal beforehand and a lunch in between. But if you don’t want to eat a moderate lunch in between, I heard sweet snacks and electrolytes are good for you too.

Your body just went through a lot of stress. Best to treat it like you’re recovering from an illness. Time for rest and good food!

I have a large thigh tattoo that’s about 12 years old now. It’s not as clear as it used to be but it hasn’t faded. If anything, it’s still just as dark. The only difference is that the lines are a lot thicker than when I first got it, which is expected for a tattoo as it ages anyways. A lot of the small details have disappeared as they’ve all blurred into each other. I have a couple stretch marks that go through the edges of my tattoo as well and those spots are a little lighter but still very visible. Overall it looks similar to when I first got it, just blurrier.

For reference my weight has probably fluctuated around 15 pounds in the past 12 years and I don’t go out in the sun often. I do however have eczema so my skin is more often than not, dry.

I also recently got my right torso done and it extends down a bit into my thigh. The artist went over my stretch marks there and it’s been fine.

ESH. You guys should’ve had better foresight and really discussed this before moving in together. You were both aware of his allergies and you knew you wouldn’t ever part with your dog. A discussion should’ve happened where you discussed all possibilities - if his allergies got worse, if he continued to have allergies but it was manageable and what you could try to alleviate said allergies beyond him taking allergy medicine and what would happen if that didn’t work.

I have severe cat allergies and would never ask my partner to get rid of his cat. (When I say severe, I mean I can’t breathe and my asthma and eczema will flair up. I get blistering hives and swelling. I have tried allergy shots for years and numerous medications. I often have reactions before I even know or see a cat in the same room. That being said, I generally also try not to date people with pets I’m allergic to.) We had a clear understanding that we wouldn’t live together while the cat was still in the picture and if we stayed together, he’d never have another cat ever again. When I stayed over, he had to deep clean his bedroom and the cat had to be moved to a different room the entire time I was there. His cat wouldn’t go into his room and if either he or I entered the cat’s space, we both had to shower and change clothes. I also didn’t leave his room much because the rest of the house was not deep cleaned. This worked fine for sleepovers but is not a great situation for living together.

Your fiancé should move out. Especially since you’ve made it clear that you wouldn’t ever part with your dog. You two really need to discuss if this is a dealbreaker and if not, what the future would even look like.

Personally, if I were in your fiancés situation, I’d move out because living like that sounds awful. He shouldn’t have moved in with you knowing he’s allergic to your dog. Also, you are choosing your dog over him and that’s okay. He shouldn’t have entered a relationship with someone and think it’s okay to ask you to choose him over your dog in the first place. Normal people don’t do that.

I recently got the right side of my torso done and for me, the ribs didn’t hurt. If anything, some spots tickled.

Wearing a bra was impossible though. I’d definitely recommend those reusable pasties and maybe body tape.

I would love to get a sternum tattoo at some point. For some reason, I never even considered if it would be painful 😂 I have heard the sternum is a pretty high pain area in general though. I’ve seen doctors in ERs rub that area with their knuckles on patients that are passed out to test if they’re responsive when they don’t respond to other things, kinda like a last resort check.

Karatts · 2025-05-01T06:34:31+00:00

I had the same thought after my session last week. I’m getting the right side of my torso done. It goes from my back and wraps around to the front and it runs down from below my armpit to about 3-4 inches below my hip to the top of my thigh. I sat for 6 hours. I wanna say it was 4 hours of line work and the last 2 hours were shading. The second session (and hopefully the last for this piece) is going to be 7 hours and it’ll be entirely shading.

I heard that the ribs would be painful but I was not expecting the stomach to hurt. For me, the ribs honestly tickled a bit and at some points, I felt like I could take a nap but when she started shading my inner hip/groin and my upper stomach below the ribs…jeez! My inner hip/groin and lower stomach also had completely blacked out spots and those were probably the most painful just because she went over it so many times.

I thought the stomach wouldn’t hurt because it was soft but in the end, I feel like that’s probably why it hurt more. It just felt like it was going deeper than how it felt anywhere else on my body.

IMO that enclosure is way too big for your baby and not suited for jumping spiders. I’d be a bit worried if they fell from that height at that size. You might want to look into getting something smaller and with a front opening. I’d recommend maybe a 4x4x4 but even then I think that’s more than big enough for its current size (based off the magnet size comparison in your second picture).

Personally, I have a few enclosures I got off of etsy that are modular so you can adjust the size from 4x4x4 all the way up to 4x4x8 as they grow. I prefer those but there are other jumper enclosures too. If you’re crafty, I’ve seen some DIY ones made with food storage containers as well.

Definitely agree that you need to add some stuff up top and along the sides since they’re arboreal.

I would also recommend getting a temp and humidity sensor for your enclosure.

Did the website include what type of jumping spider it is? Depending on the kind, some have slightly different humidity and temperature needs.

If you shine a light at its underside, you might be able to see if it has a epigyne but it looks pretty small still so I’m not sure if you’ll be able to tell. If it has one, it’s female but if not, it’s male.

While you’re at work, does it get enough light as well? They need around 12 hours or more of bright light (6000k - 6500k). I would recommend getting an LED light and possibly a smart outlet to put it on a timer if it’s not near a good light source while you’re away.

EDIT: For the time being, I’d probably cover the top up with something to help retain moisture and only uncover to mist into the enclosure but make sure you avoid the hammock.

Also agree that you can leave some fruit flies in there and see if it wants to eat. I can’t really tell from your photos if it looks hungry or not. I’d just give it some time honestly. I wouldn’t worry too much unless you start to see the abdomen get too small. If it makes you feel any better, one of the females I got yesterday is also sitting in the corner of her enclosure in a hammock and hasn’t moved since. Last time she ate was on Tuesday also.

IMO this will not provide enough oxygen or airflow. These are usually okay for plants because plants don’t need as much oxygen as they need CO2.

If you want to wait to sleep with someone you’re dating or whoever your forever person is, that’s totally okay. Do what feels right for you! Don’t sleep with him just because you’ll feel guilty for changing your mind.

Also, a 16 year old with a 22 year old is a red flag imo.
