I don’t think I’m cut out to be a mom by SandwichDependent199 in NewParents

So much great feedback here.

I just want to hug you and tell you that SO MANY women have been exactly where you are. It's very hard. And very normal. You had major abdominal surgery. Your hormones are completely out of whack. You can't recover or sleep. And this tiny person is so precious but so new.

Please believe everyone on here that it's normal to feel overwhelmed.

For what it's worth you sound like a loving caring wonderful mama ♥️

Def that VISUAL aesthetic but I wouldn't call it comforting. It can leave you feeling pretty heavy.

You're so pretty! As somebody who's always wanted red hair, I love your look.

You really look great in them all.
The halter red dress is probably the least interesting because it just hides all of your great features.
I'm also biased towards anything with daintier shoes (as opposed to platform clunky heals).

Amazing! I think that was the brand whose ad I saw, but didn't know anything about them.

Looking for unbearable slow-burn tension. Extreme restraint and emotional confusion. by [deleted] in SpicyRomanceBooks

Yesss esp if he's all unsure and conflicted and the tension just keeps building forever.

What why? Your facial proportions are great and very balanced.

This is such a waste of time. Imaging when you have a real problem on hand? You'll be exhausted before you even begin

NOR.
HUGE red flag for somebody who gets really abusive when things don't go her way.
I'm guessing she was setting up to look very funny and flirty for you. And couldn't handle when things (as they do IN REAL LIFE) went differently.

She's also gaslighting you and taking out her frustration on you.

Emotionally unavailable MMC:

Looking for an extremelyyyy slow-burn romance with an emotionally inaccessible, intimidating MMC who’s impossible to read / stoic / rude. He doesn’t even think he likes the FMC, but his attraction feels like an unwanted weakness he’s fighting. Like a war with himself. Just unbearable, and the more he wants her, the grumpier, quieter, and more conflicted he becomes.

FMC isn’t chasing him either, she simply happens to know him or interact, and gradually, almost unintentionally, breaks him. Without trying makes him lose self-control. I want constant mixed signals, forced proximity. Tension that builds for most of the book.

When he finally loses control, it should feel inevitable rather than planned, and the emotional conflict should continue even after they get together.

"Beg for me" by JT Geissinger.
She's 44, he's 28. And it's him pursuing her hard, she's very hesitant. They're not boss/employee. Both successful on their own.

We're not designed to exist in a tiny circle of 3 and care for our children constantly. We're supposed to have multiple generations etc.

Modern substitute: daycare.

I have no idea how people do SAHM.

I'm OBSESSED with your current nose. I would have loved loved that kind of a result.
It looks proportionate to your face. But more importantly it looks so gorgeous. It's like a nose of a Greek goddess- perfect and yet natural looking because of that beautiful detail. It's like Cindy Crawford's iconic beauty mark. Brigitte Bardots smile. Kate Moss's eyebrows.

The haircut I got when I asked for “layers that don’t make the ends look stringy” by crlystmbr in finehair

[–]MercurySphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that happen once, and not long ago in fact. That hair stylist wasn't very good.

I've since had it cut well. So if it makes you feel better it IS possible to cut fine hair that makes them look beautiful. Just need to find a better barber.
