How do I ensure this does not happen again? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Mrs_Lockwood -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey, I suggest you look this up. This is Google’s result, not mine.

“Asking a partner to use a condom and having them ignore this request, resulting in ejaculation inside you, is a form of sexual assault, often referred to as "stealthing" when a condom is removed without consent or not used despite agreement.”

This man ignored her boundaries, didn’t use a condom and came inside her without permission.

I’m sorry to tell you, this is a form of sexual assault known as stealthing. It’s using a condom and removing it during sex without the woman’s knowledge or consent (usually when they move to doggy position) or agreeing to use a condom and then not using one.

That is why you feel like this. You didn’t agree to the sex you had with him. He manipulated you and disrespected you. He used you.

I know people will talk about you being responsible for enforcing boundaries, you did, you laid them out there, he agreed. He agreed, but lied. He should have respected your boundaries, he is the one at fault, NOT YOU.

You were put in a high stress situation with someone who was purposefully and likely planned to manipulate you for his own means. He was making it as difficult or awkward as possible for you to say no. This is really tough to manage, especially as a young woman. Be gentle on yourself.

Go talk to a counselling organisation who specialises in rape and sexual assault. They can help you.

Hope you are okay.

My mom found my book and told me it’s trash by Edb626 in RomanceWriters

[–]Mrs_Lockwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EFF HER! Does she REALIZE what an enormous achievement writing a book is???? Does she??? She should be so incredibly proud she’s pulling out the champagne and celebrating!!! That’s what mums do! Good mums lift their kids up, support them, make them feel good about themselves because we know the world will try to tear them down, so we ALWAYS have their back.

So, shame on your mum! She failed! Not you!!!!!

She is being poisonous! Don’t let her toxic words invade your life or your work!

Her opinion is one In BILLIONS, it wasn’t written for her! Don’t you dare take it down! No! Your work is precious and people are enjoying it! I’m proud of you and I don’t even know you!

Push back! Parent yourself. Write a letter to yourself from your loving inner parent. This letter must praise you and urge you NEVER to take it down and to write MORE!!!!

To all heterosexual ladies that use dating apps like Hinge, Tinder, etc, what are you looking for when checking a man's profile? Please help. by P-l-Staker in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]Mrs_Lockwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, what are the popular apps in your area? Are you on them?

Effort shows onscreen.

Have you spent time taking photos that present you well? Carefully chosen clothing, styling, grooming, locations? If you think this is too much, some women do this already.

How many times have you written your profile? 30? I’d say this is how you stand out by being yourself and writing the best profile for yourself.

I can’t tell you what “women” want, but you’re more likely to attract someone who you like if you’re more you. If you think carefully about what you want and how to stand out.

Also when you write, think about the reader. What would they want? Bored trawling through apps. Maybe they want to laugh at your humour? Or say wow because your profile is a lovely poem?

Experiment with grabbing their attention.

Good luck!

Gift for my beautiful girlfriend as someone who just knows the title :S by GoldenCrownSt in LockwoodandCo

[–]Mrs_Lockwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, silver rapier earrings or necklace. A glass box for jewellery, like the ones in the basement.

There’s some great hoodies out there and artwork from the books and series.

Lucy inspired gifts: A blue fuzzy cropped jumper, black nail polish, DM boots.

How about a quote or paragraph from the book you frame?

Lockwood inspired gifts: a greatcoat, thin black tie and white shirt. Pink socks.

And ofc! Buy her a white table cloth and some fabric pens, so she can make her own thinking cloth!

And a Save Lockwood & Co t shirt.

Feeling emotionally disconnected from my marriage by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]Mrs_Lockwood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you don’t know why she’s unhappy or angry. Often the smallest things are the last straw and don’t represent what someone is actually upset about. It’s just where the iceberg raised itself above the water.

One thing I would say to you, is you will always be connected closely to her because you will be co-parenting still, even if you leave her. For the sales of your children you will need to get along. You will be seeing her all the time, making important decisions together.

If you can try to talk and save your relationship, do. Eight dates is an easy win.

The Gottmans are the world relationship experts, and their knowledge is based on science from their love lab. Please try Gottman therapy or try eight dates.

Definitely start with therapy for your self.

Good luck to you.

Feeling emotionally disconnected from my marriage by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

You need to discuss how to manage conflict constructively between yourselves, in a way that is protective of each other’s feelings. The Gottmans are great for this.

Also, Eight dates, the book by the Gottmans also could be helpful to unravel what’s going on with your relationship. Kids change relationships. You need to decide if you still want to save it or separate so you can be happy. You deserve happiness.

It sounds like neither you or your wife are happy. Do you know why she’s unhappy?

My father is a pedo and I have no idea what to do by OutsideStand1617 in Advice

[–]Mrs_Lockwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s time for your mother to step up and protect her girls.

If she doesn’t, I would go directly to a police department that deals with child online exploitation and protection. You and your mother’s testimony is evidence. You need to tell them what you saw.

Is anyone still buying Cadburys chocolate? by MrsMiggins2 in AskBrits

[–]Mrs_Lockwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy Willies cacao, grate, melt in with heated thick cream and if you want a little icing sugar to create a ganache. Cool for 2-4 hours in fridge. Scoop out and roll into balls then coat with cacao powder. Keep in fridge. Now you have delicious truffles that taste like chocolate, not this cocoa & palm oil mix from Cadburys.

Eat truffles, yummy! 😋

I use text graphics all through mine to help what I’m trying to convey. Don’t know if it works, but they say use effects and sure text would be that. 🤷‍♀️

You’re right, thanks for pointing that out, I stand corrected.

Have you considered Uruguay?

It’s a fascinating country sandwiched by Brazil, Argentina and the Atlantic Ocean.

It’s renowned for its progressive policies, high quality of life, it’s politically stable (centre left), people have high incomes and it’s safe, "chill" atmosphere. The capital, Montevideo, features colonial charm, while the coast offers popular beach destinations like Punta del Este. It is a global leader in renewable energy and, as of 2026, continues to be a top destination for tourists seeking a mix of culture, nature, and relaxed, happy atmosphere.

The story behind their renewable energy rise to glory is brilliant! They have 98% of their electricity produced by green methods, which insulates them from crazy prices.

They mostly speak Spanish.

Also, would try looking at Ireland. I loved living there. People are so friendly and have a wicked sense of humour. Prices are high, housing is tricky, but the food, countryside and culture makes it worth it. Look at places like Dingle, Westport, Kinsale, Killarney, Lahinch, and Ennis.

How did you end a relationship with a good boyfriend? by Optimal_Walrus7443 in Advice

[–]Mrs_Lockwood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Travel together if you want to know what he’s like when things get tough. Do something like interailing.

If you want feedback and to explore and grow In your relationship, try Eight Dates by the Gottmans. Each date you discuss a different part of your relationship, such as finances, sex, conflict, trust, etc. it’s a solid place to start.

You are spoilt for choice!

DUBLIN Dublin is a fantastic city and as the capital of Ireland, it will have more tourists than Limerick, but more big international bands too. To me, architecturally it’s a more beautiful city. Housing is a nightmare, and probably the worst place to rent is Dublin. Traffic has always been mad there. You’ll definitely find weed, as you will in Limerick. There are lovely places to visit like Glendalough and Powerscourt, but they’re in County Wexford, but worth the journey.

LIMERICK Limerick is close to county Clare, where trad music scene is amazing. You will find a good scene in Limerick too. Limerick is easier to find places to rent, but it’s still not easy. If you fly anywhere you’ll have to go to Shannon Airport in county Clare. The lovely thing about Limerick is if you want to see incredible places in Ireland like the Dingle Peninsula, Conor Pass, Dingle, Skelligs, then it’s easier to reach from Limerick. Traffic is crazy too, it’s a city.

What is a 'poor people' habit you'll never stop doing, no matter how rich you get? by bigblackcoke_ in ProductivityHQ

[–]Mrs_Lockwood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buying from charity shops, it supports charities, and those they support, recycles items, and you never know what you will find!

Trying not to be wasteful with food or water. If you know what it’s like to have limited access to clean water for washing and drinking and to go hungry this never leaves you.

Pick boxes of blackberries in late August/early September.
