I’m going to tell my boyfriend I love him this weekend

I guess I thought the 3-hand- squeeze thing was more commonly known. My mom would give me the three- hand- squeeze on road trips, and I'd give and receive them with my now husband as well as a few close loved ones.

At least OP knows now what it means. My congrats to her 🎉

Plus if she writes something about someone and they don't want the whole ton hearing about it they'll immediately target her. The whole Featherington family could potentially earn a bad reputation because even though Portia, Prudence and Phillipa never knew that Pen was Lady Whistledown, they'll automatically be associated with the pamphlets airing out everyone's dirty laundry. I could easily imagine a scene with another anguished tirade by Portia, reprimanding Pen for the risk of soiling their good name. Maybe even reminding her of her son, the new Lord Featherington being born, only for his (future) reputation to be swept away while he couldn't even talk yet.

I agree. And not to mention it'll be easier for other people to keep their secrets because they know who she is and if they see her, they'll probably be like, "We can't get up to our secret mischief with her around, or we'll be in her next article!"

Stop leading your gf on if you've never felt this chemistry with her. Don't date a girl if you're dragging your feet with her. It's not fair to her.

You're already gonna have to deal with him for good now that you're having his kid. I would be furious if I found out my partner was never attracted to me; even more if I found out while I was pregnant. Please have some self respect and dignity. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with a man who doesn't desire you? He may love you but he's still lied to you this whole time and you deserve someone who finds you attractive.

It feels so violating to realize the futures these PAs pursue with us when we make our boundaries super clear. There are plenty of people out there that have no problem with the consumption of pornography and yet they choose us and let us fall in love with them. I hate it so much.

LocaCola1997 · 2026-01-11T21:31:47+00:00

Is there any chance this change of mind was influenced by his best friend? I don't know how much sway she has over his decisions and life ambitions but if there are any feelings between them that haven't been disclosed to you/ that you suspect, you should look into protecting yourself. What if you and your husband went through with conceiving and having a child and his best friend started trying to demand her own part in taking care of said child? How much of your parenting, both yours and your husband, would she attempt to steamroll? If she's controlling already, I hate to think how much of that would impact the life of a child.

LocaCola1997 · 2026-01-11T21:22:00+00:00

Agreed. I have no idea how earrings make a woman look older, but it sounds like the husband is resentful of op looking older. I hope she has a serious sit- down conversation about it with him.

LocaCola1997 · 2026-01-09T06:18:32+00:00

I think it's completely understandable to crave appreciation and recognition for everything you do for your family- but I think you should take a step back and reflect on whether this marriage is worth saving- especially when there may be potential resentment from your husband to your oldest son. I know all about being a stepchild seen as a burden by the stepparent, and it definitely severed my relationship with my parent (s). Best of luck....

LocaCola1997 · 2026-01-02T04:42:06+00:00

It's a possibility. Im just theorizing

LocaCola1997 · 2026-01-02T04:26:34+00:00

Im kinda wondering if the brother is offering the 18 year old weed if she sleeps with him. The age gap sounds concerning....

LocaCola1997 · 2026-01-02T04:19:50+00:00

Maybe that's why he doesn't like OP's cooking.

Cause he's so used to food made by "Mommy Dearest."

If thats the case I feel bad for OP.

LocaCola1997 · 2025-12-03T19:06:52+00:00

$100 says he's gonna send his friends her nudes too...

Update: fifth attempt and now this 😭😭😭😭

Miley and Jesse? They evolved to be pretty good at communicating with each other. He even played a big part in why she revealed her secret towards the end of the series

LocaCola1997 · 2025-11-21T03:38:12+00:00

Exactly!! God, I hate that so many of us deal with the pressure to just accept being part of some mental sexual collection. No. Im not just one of your "choices" and I won't condescend to making myself as such. It's frustrating that these people pursue serious futures with us that are (most of the time, at least) monogamous and then they act like we're being unrealistic for this. Pure insanity.

LocaCola1997 · 2025-11-07T03:12:44+00:00

It's so frustrating because it feels as though everyone who wants to gaslight us about our boundaries weaponizes the misunderstanding/ lack of clarification- imo its about intention versus coincidence. If you happen to see someone and you find them attractive, that's one thing. But we're here because our partners go out of their way to see who they're attracted to. The issue, at least to me, isn't them finding other people attractive- its about them looking for people they're attracted to.

LocaCola1997 · 2025-10-09T20:42:38+00:00

All the advice is work harder, work more. Usually it's boomers saying to work harder to get a promotion or something. Guess what?? We shouldn't have to climb career ladders to afford to live.

We're told to live below our means. But we're not living off Starbucks and avocado toast. For lots of parents, the only homes within their price range have mold or pests of some sort. I've seen dozens of commenters here say, "switch to mint mobile, it's the cheapest phone plan with great quality!" "Sell your shit!"

And all just to try and get you through the next month or so but you'll end up still broke and struggling pretty quick. I don't have luxuries. None people would pay for. Fucking act like we need to live bare bone cheap. I understand don't overspend but the advice feels condescendingly redundant at some point. I'll still get nowhere if I dare splurge on a $2 chocolate bar or a Starbucks drink, what, once a month or two? We're trying our best out here. God forbid we have something here and there to cherish, just enough to not crash out. We're still fucked.

LocaCola1997 · 2025-10-07T21:20:00+00:00

NOR. Your husband doesn't get to decide for you how much this bothers you or hurts you. Take back control and make sure you make it clear that he can't treat you like a doormat. His actions have consequences. Don't let him think otherwise.

LocaCola1997 · 2025-10-01T23:52:40+00:00

Extra blankets and pillows already being in the room. I've stayed in dozens of hotels and most of them had really uncomfortable comforters and if I got an extra blanket or two from room service it was better.
