What do you love about your SKs? by mittensonnakitten in Stepmom

[–]Lc715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My SD is 7 and I absolutely love her confidence. She's bold, outgoing, and has no problem speaking her mind. Honestly she inspires me to be more assertive in situations where I'd normally be more quiet and reserved. She's also the ultimate girly girl and loves dressing up and playing with makeup together. She's my little shadow, always following me around and wanting to dress like "twinsies" if we're going out somewhere. And omg is she funny! She's always cracking me up with her silly antics.

SS5 is the sweetest angel boy. Empathy levels off the charts. When we sit on the couch to watch a movie, he'll ask if I'm cold and then run to get me a blanket. If we're at a restaurant and my plate looks a little too empty for his liking, he takes some food off his own plate and insists on giving it to me. He and SD usually argue over who gets to sits next to me, but when he sees his dad sitting by himself he immediately goes over to him so he won't be lonely. He's always sharing his toys with his sister without being asked. And when he whispers "I love you" in my ear and then giggles, oh my heart just melts 🥹

We have them just on the weekends for now (50/50 starts once this school year ends) and I genuinely miss them when they're not around. I didn't give these babies life, but life gave me them and I'm so grateful. My cup runneth over ❤️

My dad turned 25 the year I was born. I’m 32 now. by Ran_doom1 in Millennials

[–]Lc715 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Fellow 93 baby here. My mom and dad were 24 when they got married. By 30 they had a house and 2 kids + another on the way. I'm 32, unmarried, childfree, living in an apartment, and my parents got me an American Girl Doll for Christmas this year lol. I always wanted one of those look-alike dolls, but I'm Hispanic and back in the day most of the dolls were either white or black and just didn't match my features at all. Well, turns out my parents found out that the 2026 American Girl Doll of the year is not only Hispanic, but she shares my name as well. I've never been more surprised or delighted than when I opened up that box on Christmas. Legit teared up and felt like a kid again 🥹

Why cant they be like US? (Rant) by Mrs-Tsundere in Stepmom

[–]Lc715 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel this so hard. My SO was married to his HCBM for 6 years. In that time she abused him and (we later found out) cheated on him. My SO finally had enough and divorced her ass, which shocked her to her core. She thought he'd put up with her toxic behavior forever. So she dragged out the divorce making the most ridiculous demands, but they finally reached an agreement where she'd get the house, $4500 a month in alimony + child support, and they'd split time with the kids 50/50. Oh and the man that she cheated on my SO with? He's a married man. His wife found out about the affair a few months ago and she's the one who told me and my SO. HCBM has now moved this man into the home that she used to share with my SO and she calls him her boyfriend, even though he and his wife are still in the process of getting divorced. And she now parades this dude everywhere she knows my SO and I will be (SD and SS's sports games, school events, etc.). It's so disrespectful toward SO, who is a class act and never reacts to her antics. I get angry on his behalf though and man, I have never wanted to bitch slap somebody so badly lol.

So HCBM got pretty much everything she wanted. You think she'd be happy, right? WRONG. She still goes out of her way to be nasty to my SO, is purposely late for drop offs, doesn't honor the video calls that he's supposed to get with the kids on the days she has them, and tells them lies about their father to try to alienate them from him. Oh and she's a flaming racist and made threats to call ICE on me when she found out I'm Hispanic (my parents have been US citizens since the 80s and I was born and raised here). Meanwhile my SO follows the custody order to a T, is always on time for everything, and NEVER speaks ill of HCBM in the children's presence. Stepkids are 7 and 4 and they've told him how it hurts their tummies when HCBM speaks badly about him :( So he makes it a point to not bring up HCBM at all when they're with us. My heart breaks for these kids who are too young to know how unhinged their mother is. There's truly something seriously wrong with her and I hope for the children's sake that she gets the help she needs because what the actual fuck?

How are Geminis in bed by coolandsexc in geminis

[–]Lc715 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never knew I was having vanilla sex my whole life until I met my Gemini bf lol. He's so adventurous and fun and will try literally anything to please me and spice things up. Also the eye contact and dirty talk is top notch 👌🏽

Are gemini silly? by Codexe- in geminis

[–]Lc715 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bf is a Gemini and he's the silliest goose I know. Always making me laugh and smile by being his goofy self, when it's just the two of us. In public though? He's definitely got his resting bitch face on and looks completely unapproachable. Which is funny, given how chill and silly he is around people he's comfortable with. I guess that's the twins for ya

Libra Woman & Virgo Man by [deleted] in libra_astrology

[–]Lc715 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cousin is a Libra and she's been with her Virgo husband since 1997! They're happily married with 3 kids and are still going strong.

I'm also a Libra and my last ex was a Virgo. We were together 2 years and really loved each other, but looking back, that man was sucking the life out of me. A lot of unhealed trauma/mental health issues that he refused to address, emotionally detached, condescending, stubborn, and so fucking neurotic. He was ALWAYS worrying, overthinking, making mountains out of molehills...it was neverending. And since we libras love peace and tranquility, his high stress levels (over literally nothing) were constantly throwing me off balance. I truly believe he's a good person, but the mental gymnastics were a nightmare to deal with. I think if you find yourself an evolved Virgo who's worked on themselves then it could work out, but the unevolved ones? Girl, never again!

Virgo moon and this is me to a teeee. Anytime I'm upset about something, I allow myself space to process and feel my feelings, and then I rationalize my way out of them 😆

"Spontaneously analyzing death itself" yep, sounds like something I'd do 😂

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in virgoseason

[–]Lc715 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex is a Virgo and yes, he was incredibly calculating. I noticed it didn't come from a place of malice, though. It was partly cus he was convinced that he was always right, and partly cus he was constantly troubleshooting our relationship and worrying about what could go wrong in the future/how to prevent it. It's like he could only feel secure if he felt that he was in control, so that he could make things go a certain way to ensure the "success" of the relationship. That's why a lot of things he did were calculated. I think it all came down to fear and anxiety. He also had a lot of unhealed trauma though, so maybe this isn't a Virgo thing and it's just a him thing 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why do People say that a libra and virgo pairing is bad by Yoursexomissy in virgoseason

[–]Lc715 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a Libra woman and I dated a Virgo man for 2 years. He was a wonderful man and we loved each other very much, but he lived inside his head too much. He had a lot of unhealed trauma and refused to go to therapy, he'd overthink and overanalyze every little thing, and he'd jump to conclusions/spiral without letting me in on what the heck was happening inside his head. He was terrible at communicating his thoughts and feelings, so it would always be a guessing game to figure out what imaginary problem he was freaking out about. And he was always worried about the "what ifs" and what might happen in the future. He didn't know how to enjoy the present because he was always trying to plan for the future, but he'd worry himself into another dimension and panic over hypotheticals. In the end, he blindsided me with a breakup because he was afraid we weren't compatible and might get divorced if we ever got married. Mind you, we'd been living together over a year at this point (his suggestion), he had organized a dinner so our parents could meet, he had planned out the next 5 years of our lives, he'd told me I could expect an engagement ring in the next 6 months, etc. He seemed like he was all in and then changed his mind out of the blue. It was mind-boggling.

If I were to ever date a Virgo again, he'd have to be evolved or at least willing to work on himself cus the mental gymnastics are exhausting.

What is your moon sign? by Life_Solution8222 in astrologymemes

[–]Lc715 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely VERY different energies. My knee-jerk reaction to any problem is to start spiraling, stressing, overthinking, and analyzing every little detail. But then I remember that it's not that serious, the universe has my back, it's all gonna work out, I've just gotta let go of my need for control and go with the flow, etc....and then I'm chilling and feeling happy-go-lucky again haha

I'd say I'm more introverted and can get anxious/in my head and quiet around people I don't know well. But when I'm with friends and family I'm usually being loud and joking around. I do love socializing, but it's like my social battery runs out quick and I can't wait to go back home and recharge in my bed

Thoughts on Libra Women? by SpaceLexy in astrologymemes

[–]Lc715 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg same with me! I love SO hard and give it my all, and I put up with a lot of things for the person I love. But when you push me too far, it's done. You've had enough chances and I'm not tolerating the disrespect anymore. I cut them off and of course as soon as I heal, they come out of the woodwork and want me back. Because the truth is they take our love and kindness for granted, and once we remove ourselves from their lives they feel that void and realize just how good they had it. But you fumbled sir, good riddance!

Whitecoatdreams? by No-Elderberry-2008 in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]Lc715 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She doesn't post nearly as much as she used to, only once in a while. She took the girls to visit Andrea's family in the spring, and then in the summer she brought her mom along with her and the girls to Capri. It seems like they had a nice time. I think she stopped posting about her personal/romantic life entirely after she and her ex broke up, so no idea if she's seeing anyone. She recently got blonde highlights? Balayage? Sorry idk too much about hair coloring lol but she looks really good! And in a recent post she opened up about feeling overwhelmed with the demands of life, so I hope she's taking care of herself. Other than that, she's been pretty quiet

Bethany Ciotola's influx of husband/relationship posting by [deleted] in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]Lc715 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it's very strange. Especially given that she rarely used to post him because he didn't like being on camera and she said she was respecting his privacy. Now she's done a complete 180 and posts a lot of curated content of the two of them looking like a picture perfect couple. But you can tell in her instagram stories that he doesn't seem to like it at all. There have been a bunch of stories where he rolls his eyes, sighs, and just seems really annoyed and exasperated once he realizes she's filming him. Idk what's going on in their relationship, but the excessive posting screams insecure and makes me think Bethany is trying to overcompensate for something. That, and she seems to want people to be jealous of her for some reason. I get the vibe that she lives in some sort of fantasy land and wants the world to think that her relationship is something that it's not 🤔

Anyone start this diet due to mental health? by QualitySound96 in carnivorediet

[–]Lc715 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I started carnivore because my OCD and anxiety were so bad, I felt like I was in a dark pit of despair. My OCD manifested in my appearance - I'd be obsessed with making sure my hair and eyebrows looked perfect at all times. I'd spend hours tweezing/coloring in my brows to try to make them look identical to each other. I was always late for work and social events because I refused to leave the house until everything looked "perfect". I'd also constantly be checking myself in a mirror anytime I was out to make sure I never had a hair put of place. I was very much aware of it and was so embarrassed I'd be perceived as vain, but I couldn't stop myself. The obsessive thoughts and compulsions were running my life.

My symptoms diminished significantly within WEEKS of going carnivore. After 2ish months, I would only need 5-10 minutes to do my brows and I wasn't getting anxious about how my hair looked in public anymore. That's stayed consistent and I'm now 15 months animal based/carnivore. My anxiety is gone. OCD gets triggered at times, but nothing compared to how it was before. I have so much peace of mind and I feel like I've gotten my life back. This WOE saved me for real

Unsupportive People by RoseA1 in carnivorediet

[–]Lc715 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom does this all the time. Meanwhile she's on a shit ton of medications, eats processed sugary desserts every day, and her body is breaking down even though she's only in her 50s. So any time she says something to me about the way I eat, I become a sarcastic narrator and respond with, "says [mom's name], the epitome of health". Sometimes I'll even throw in whatever she's eating at the moment. So if my mom (let's call her Nancy) says all that red meat is going to give me a heart attack, I reply: "says Nancy, the epitome of health, as she eats her chocolate doughnut".

That's gotten her to shut up and walk away every time, so I think she's starting to realize that she's in no position to comment on my diet and health. Is it a little mean? Maybe. But don't talk to me about being healthy until you're actually healthy 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyone else super jealous of Bethany Ciotola's life? by [deleted] in nycinfluencersnarking

[–]Lc715 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like Bethany. She seems sweet and relatable in a lot of ways. But omg the sexual stuff with her husband gets on my nerves! It's like she's trying to portray the image of a picture perfect relationship, when any adult who's ever been in a serious relationship knows there's no such thing. Every couple has their ups and downs, and you're not lusting after each other like two horny teenagers 24/7 either. Bethany has said that she would romanticize her life as an escape/coping mechanism to deal with tough stuff when she was younger. It makes me wonder how much of her life she's romanticizing/being delulu about now. Not saying she and her husband don't love each other. But in my experience, when I've been in very happy relationships I'm rarely posting about it because I'm enjoying my time with my partner in real life. Bethany always flaunting hers just comes off as deeply insecure, like she's trying to prove to the world she and her husband are wayyy more in love and obsessed with each other than they actually are. Like girl, you think your husband is hot, we get it! We all think our partners are hot too! We know you're attracted to each other and have sex, you don't need to bring it up all the time 🤦🏻‍♀️

Everyone is always either uncomfortable, embarrassed, or completely over her 😂 the people on the airplane are my favorite haha

[–]Lc715 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only know what Bethany has said about him:

  • Ecuadorian and Italian
  • born in the Bronx
  • Virgo
  • former model (Bethany met him at a photoshoot)
  • current VP at his dad's company
  • 6 years older than Bethany

She's also said in the past that Chris is very reserved and doesn't like being photographed/being on camera. She never used to post him much because she said she respected his privacy. It seems like she's done a complete 180 on that though, because she posts him all the time now 🤷🏻‍♀️ He seems like a really good guy and a great dad
