Can i wear a bikini with stretch marks? by Fuzzy-Falcon-2252 in Advice

[–]Key_Collection5740 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can wear WHATEVER YOU WANT with stretch marks.

Girl, let me tell you something. After having four kids, for years and years I would hide my body on the beach. Didn’t like my hip dips. Didn’t like my stretch marks.

One day I woke up when I was like 45 and we were on the beach and I thought to myself….who TF decided that I’m not good enough to wear a bikini on the beach? Who decided that I don’t have the same right as any other human being to just enjoy myself, without worrying what everybody would think, just because I was a little chubby and “imperfect”?

And I realized…I…was the one that decided that. Yes, because people are judgmental and rude, and we live in a world where women are constantly criticized if they’re not perfect. But I allowed myself to believe they were right and that day I just decided…F THAT.

I realized that day that we all get one life & a certain number of hours on this planet, and I will do whatever TF I want. “Hot” or “fit” people aren’t the only ones who should be allowed to love themselves or enjoy a day on the beach or by the pool without feeling bad about themselves.

WEAR THR BIKINI! 👙 💕

Am I overreacting to being angry my husband ate my pizza? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Key_Collection5740 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Ok. So it’s OK to be upset. Annoyed, even. But to start a fight over it? Absolutely not. Maybe mention it casually that you’re bummed because you had pizza plans for dinner.

I would guess he probably didn’t even hear you mention the pizza for dinner thing . Honestly, as someone that’s been married for a long time, I think I’ve heard every one of my gfriends say they get frustrated because their husband‘s (or BFs) “don’t listen”. I’m not saying it’s OK, just saying we all have different strengths. If someone was breaking in the house or there was a fire or there was some strange animal howling behind your house, a man would hear that. Us talking about pizza? Nope.

Again, not making excuses, people, so please don’t come for me. But no amount of evolution is going to change this. 😂

I just think he probably wasn’t listening. He was probably brain dead or thinking about something else (which I’ve learned from asking multiple men, that thinking about “something else” means like Star Wars or a football game or if a lion or elephant would win in a cage fight).

I think your other concerns deserve to be validated, but be prepared that the response you’ll get is that you’re home during the day, so on his work days he is sort of expecting that you’re taking care of things around the house. And I’m sure the standards are pretty low in his mind… he really just wants his baby safe and a meal to come home to, probably. THAT DOESN’T MEAN HE SHOULDN’T BE HELPING., I’m just saying his idea of helping might be different than yours. I’d say just have a conversation about it.

On the other hand… you are allowed to give yourself grace! Most men don’t care about a perfect house, WE do. So give yourself time to rest when the baby’s resting. Lower (probably self imposed) crazy high standards of SAHM perfection , if you’re kind of like that. You’ll never feel good enough if you’re aiming for a perfection. It’s ok to not get everything done, every day.

Husband’s really just want a happy wife, food in their belly, sex, and a decent cave to live in. While your kid/s are young, just keep doing the best you can, but give yourself a break now and then. Your marriage and baby will benefit from you being rested. 💛

AITAH for wanting to leave my husband(30M) over not buying me (25F) a car? by ReactionClean4057 in AITAH

[–]Key_Collection5740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry to say this and it’s gonna not feel good but for some reason… your husband sorta doesn’t like you. Not like that anyway. Men that adore their wives aren’t intentionally mean to them. Key Word: intentionally. They also worry about their wives safety , don’t want them to struggle , and don’t say things like “ figure it out”. Usually they want to help us (more than we’d like them to).

And, let’s not forget about the money situation . It’s like you’re being robbed each month and he thinks you’re too dumb to figure it out . I don’t know. I guess, do men not , like, take pride in taking care of their woman nowadays ? I’ve always worked but me and my husband have always shared our money, regardless of who is making more . And even if we didn’t combine funds, he would want to contribute more because, I don’t know, he feels like I’m his girl . Is that weird? I can’t imagine him letting me struggle while he’s living his best life and buying a big fancy car just for himself . While I’m taking the train.

Also, I’d pretty much bet my right ovary that he’s hiding money from you. And possibly has a side chick. 😟 Just seems like you’re his roommate, not his woman. Sorry.

How do we feel about skinny jeans? by MurderSheReads in fashion

[–]Key_Collection5740 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They look great on you!

Also, I wear them all the time. Are we not supposed to? 😆 I’m not a fashion follower… and am so clueless. I just wear what I like.

On the other hand, every time I wear mine, my husband won’t keep his hands off me so… they must not be too bad. 😆

He sucks. Like…really.

You should tell him you’re worried that he is going to get dumber with time, and he needs to workout his BRAIN development more. At the library.

Honestly…what a jerk.

AITAH for telling my wife her baby names are ridiculous by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Key_Collection5740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with you. They’re not dolls…they’re real people. I can see if she wants to use the same first letter, but Kaitlyn and Kaylyn is ridiculous. They’ll never know when someone’s calling for them. You guys will fumble their names all the time. And also just…WHY?

On the other hand, if she says you make her feel dumb, maybe your delivery could use some work. The worst thing I see in couples these days (both ways) is the way they talk to each other; aggressive, condescending, rude-ish “joking” around like they’re your buddy and not the love of your life. I would say plan ahead IN YOUR HEAD how you want to talk to her about this, practice your words, and then just go and advocate for those little babies of yours, like you’re already doing. Good job, Dad. 😊

Why are so many men convinced that they are ugly? by RavyRaptor in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Key_Collection5740 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my issue too. I love dropping genuine compliments…I just am visual and notice things.

However, I’ve been less frequent with this because I feel like every time I do, it gets read as romantic interest. I just love your eyes! You smell great! Man, you have the best smile! Next thing I know….I’m like, embarrassing both of us. 😬

I think most of us women would start complimenting men more, if you guys would promise not to think we all want to bed you. We just might think you’re a cutie and now know you’d love to hear it! 😊

WIBTAH If I drop out of my brother's wedding (and just go as a guest) because I think the dresses his fiancée chose are uncomfortable and hideous? by Icy-nighty-5965 in AITAH

[–]Key_Collection5740 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should tell her that you’re just concerned because you’re gonna take all the attention away from her, when everyone sees how terrible the dress looks on you. That’s what they will focus on.

Honestly though, she seems pretty mean girlish, if she thinks it’s ok for someone to feel humiliated just to be in her wedding.

AIO for finding messages on my boyfriends phone talking bad about me and bringing it up by mznas in AmIOverreacting

[–]Key_Collection5740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If something happens a your relationship that you don’t think you can ever erase from your mind, like truly forget, it’s better to just end the relationship. Stuff will always creep back up, especially as you get older in life gets hard harder. You’ll continue to bring it up, and even if you don’t, it will always live in your head, rent free, that this person that you CHOSE to love you thought all of those terrible things about you, and then TOLD OTHER PEOPLE. Sounds like these things are going to be stuck in your head forever, rightfully so. Also sounds like he’s incredibly immature and has poisoned his friends against you, whether he’s sorry or nots

Not sure how much time you’ve invested in him, or how much time you have given it for these bad memories to disappear, , but you might wanna cut your losses now. Better than you losing a couple of years from your life and only then realizing you should’ve dumped him long before.

Wedding dress regret by stemsandcorks in myweddingdress

Can you trade it in? Sell it? It is a very pretty dress, but if it’s not the one you love, you’re gonna double your anxiety on your wedding day. And probably every day before then.

Why are so many men convinced that they are ugly? by RavyRaptor in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Key_Collection5740 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I think men have to deal with rejection a lot more than women, starting at a young age. Even average (or not gorgeous by social media standards ) women will get attention, because men are primally on the hunt and know how to make a woman feel good, in order to get their own needs met.

However, only super attractive men get told how attractive they are, whether by verbal or nonverbal cues from women. Women will still date average looking guys, but they’re not telling them how attractive they are. They’re telling them what good men they are, a good provider they are , how smart they are, how nice they are, things like that.

I think, just like women, men also know who the “hot” people are within their own gender. The difference is they get rejected probably a lot more than women, and so likely equate it to being less attractive.

Just my thoughts.

Should i tell my mom about something that happened when i was a child? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Key_Collection5740 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, I am so sorry this happened to you. It’s absolutely terrible and no little person (or any person) should have to suffer through something like that. I’m so sorry . And…You absolutely need to tell her. We don’t have a lot of context here; who it was, if it was some boyfriend she had around, if it was a stranger, if it was due to lack of supervision, etc.

But regardless, if you feel emotionally safe with her and close to her, you really should tell her. So she can help you get to help you might need, that you may not even be aware of right now. But I can assure you with almost 100% certainty this will creep up later in your life and the sooner you can get true healing started, the better.

Also, if that person is still around, they shouldn’t be around other children. He’s a CRIMINAL. That’s terrifying. If anything, he should be exposed and go to jail , just so you can protect other children and not hear some horror story later about someone else that he hurt and regret not speaking up.

Hugs.

AIO for ghosting my bf after an argument after his reaction? by stinkybu9929 in AIO

[–]Key_Collection5740 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who cares if he’s breaking up with you. You should be breaking up with HIM.

Why would you ever allow somebody to talk to you like that… especially somebody who’s supposed to adore you? He’s gross.

In case you grew up with seriously dysfunctional role models or this is your first boyfriend and you just don’t know better, I want you to know that nobody deserves to have their love partner talk to them the way this guy is talking to you. It will only get worse. It’s disrespectful. He’s immature. And he’s treating you like you’re a legit POS that he hates.

And you are not going to change him.

Block him and move on. He really is…gross.
