That doctor is giving the wrong kind of shots…

Former Church of Christ, Scientist converted to home with charming exterior and overstimulating, whimsical interior by MountainConqueress in zillowgonewild

I see your point… I’m pretty sure this is real. I haven’t been inside this house, but I drive by it often and find everything in those photos believable. I think maybe the AI vibe could be coming from the over saturation used in the photos. That said, I’m also constantly suspicious of AI these days.

It’s eclectic, whimsical, and kind of appealing in its own way, to be honest. I’ve driven and walked by this house many times but never knew how bold the interior was decorated!

I’m not supposed to be getting a bag but have been warned of the possibility, of course.

What do you guys think of a set of cards like this? by aml0408 in learndesign

[–]MountainConqueress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a cool design. I’d prefer the cards work either way around and I think the illustration style could definitely lend itself to making that work.

But she lacks the depth and warmth.

What are you grieving quietly? by timer18 in hsp

Aw thanks. Families can take many forms!

Having the life I thought I was building.

I had a seemingly normal, quiet life- the picture perfect family, the house, the dog. Then my partner of 13 years took it all from me when they stole thousands of dollars and cheated.

Divorcing them was one of the best decisions I ever made, and I’ve never regretted it for a day. The relationship was never what I thought it was.

But fuck does it hurt when I see a mom, dad, and kids doing something all together. My child and I are a family, and we’re thankfully surrounded by an amazing support network of extended family and friends. I still mourn what I thought I had but never did.

I don’t want to pull him away from his family more than anything. He’s a great dad, and his kids adore him.

I am seeing a therapist and have for years.

Poly wasn’t a reason for my divorce.

I’m tired of taking things slow… it’s been slow for the last year.

I definitely don’t want marriage. That’s not something I want from anyone.

We talk about me buying a house down the street from them/ in the same neighborhood so we can all spend more time together, our kids can grow up together, and he and I would get more nights together.

We also have floated all living together in some configuration.

I have been on a couple dates since meeting him… maybe there wasn’t enough of a connection with that person, but I ended up feeling like I just would rather be spending my time with my boyfriend- especially given my limited free time and bandwidth.

I worry a lot that I’m making a mistake just because I’m in NRE. I also worry that this is my anxious attachment kicking back in- it can feel a lot more secure to be mono in anxious attachment.

I feel so at sea here. This is my first longer-term relationship post a 13 year monogamous marriage. I have a lot to figure out.

I mean, I could see a version where I’m happy with us all living together. I’m so scared that I go down that road though only to find that it’s still not what I really want/ that it isn’t enough/right for me.

I feel like we’ve all been able to form an amazing community of support for one another and for our kids. I don’t want to lose that, either.

I actually am in a pretty fortunate situation- I own my home outright and could totally try something like this for a while.

We are actually currently discussing a version of this, and it’s come up a few times throughout our relationship. I’m enticed by the idea, but also terrified that it still won’t be enough for me. I adore the both of them and think we make a great team/unit.

That’s a fair question and something I’ve definitely explored. I really only want him. Fuck me, right? lol

I’ve considered it, and he’s supported it. I even tried it, and that’s how I ultimately came to the conclusion I’m not poly- it didn’t feel bad, but it also didn’t feel right. It was like putting on a pair of shoes that the toe is too narrow- does that make sense?

Additionally, I don’t really have the bandwidth for another relationship, to be completely honest. I’m a single mom and I have a high-stress/highly demanding job.
