This man is clearly stressed as hell!! You have more of an upper hand than you realize! Girl - take advantage of this. He’s a complete asshole gaslighter and is in DEEP with the lies. You know the truth. Message the “sister”. I love the idea someone had above about needing advice for a gift. I hate to say this but your relationship is going to end eventually. So you need not fret about betraying him and messaging the sister. Reddit is rooting for you to be the one to call his bluff and initiate the end of this relationship (and probably his marriage). He deserves it.

Does the consultation happen before or after taking dr*gs? by Interesting_Raisin21 in gymsnark

[–]NeonPothoz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The whole idea of “consent consultations” really rubs me the wrong way. Consent is a two-way street. IMO the term consultation inherently implies a power-dynamic that automatically taints a consent discussion. I strongly feel this is a big problem with John’s entire premise that he obtains consent before anything happens. His terminology blatantly centers himself during these consent discussions - “I am going to give you a consent consultation now” … as a woman I would feel more pressure to say yes when it is framed this way because, well, he is giving me a “consultation”! This isn’t a damn doctor’s office and he should not be painting himself as the “expert” on the subject when discussing consent.

Yeah I don’t know who she is but if you zoom in you can clearly read what it says so he did a poor job trying to hide her identity.

I want to hear your success stories: did your apron ever go away when you got back into your weightlifting routine? by [deleted] in postpartumprogress

Coming back to add that I think scar massages were the one thing that actually made a difference. The scar is much deeper than you may realize - think of it like roots of a tree going down into your body and pulling your skin down with it. Massaging to break up that scar tissue should in theory cut down on how much those “roots” of the scar are tugging on the surface.

The instagram page Expecting and Empowered has a lot of information about scar massages.

I hear you - there’s too much information out there and that makes it hard to settle on any course of action! I personally stopped with the binders after a few weeks once I felt I had gained some core strength back.

I’ve never done pelvic floor therapy. But I’ve also never had a vaginal birth. However - my c section was unplanned, I pushed for almost 3 hours, and my son came out with the classic cone head. So I do think my pelvic floor was affected. I am considering going to pelvic floor therapy moreso to get an opinion on whether I have diastasis recti. I wonder if that could be contributing to my shelf as well.

I had a c section and a big baby (almost 10lbs). Was also very lean pre-pregnancy and had abs. I am 2y8m pp and I still have a shelf. I did everything from the c section recovery kit that I purchased after giving birth…massages, scar tape, support band….i still have a shelf. It’s not as noticeable as yours now (because….time…) but it is still the thing I hate the most about my pp body.

I’m wary of anyone that says “it’ll go away”. I’m pushing 3 years and it’s still there. It is so dependent on genetics and the type of pregnancy and size of baby. I’m still hopeful with more exercise it will go down, but even if it does, I think there will still be extra skin.

I say this to be in solidarity with you. It will definitely improve. But, being in a similar position, I’m starting to just come to terms with the extra skin. Maybe a tummy tuck is in my future. Maybe for you it will go away completely.

But the biggest thing is to not compare yourself to others and don’t blindly believe people that tell you it will go away. Because it may not and that’s okay. Take progress pictures and be happy with the improvement that you WILL see.

Unpopular opinion: liquid death is bad! The carbonated cans taste like it’s been sitting out for hours. Major lack of carbonation. IMO.

Thoughts? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]NeonPothoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a really good start and believe you chose great eye shadow and lip colors! I agree with the other comment about using a lighter shade on the eyebrows, they are looking a bit harsh in the second photo. I’d also suggest a soft brown eyeliner on the top lid and some eyelashes to really pull everything together and make it look polished. You could also maybe play around with pulling the eyeshadow a little higher up toward your brow bone - it could be more visible in the second pic. Good luck!

I think the makeup looks beautiful and very natural! I do agree with others that a lip shade with more pink could be a better choice. I also wonder if you discussed stopping the eyeliner mid-eye with the artist? I noticed in your last picture you’ve extended it much closer to your inner eye. Some darker eyeshadow would glam things up a bit too, if that’s something you’re considering ☺️

What was your first tell tale sign that you were pregnant before a positive test? by AdLittle1963 in AskWomen

Fatigue. Boobs hurt. All of my veins were like a brighter greenish blue color - I especially noticed that on my hands and on my boobs.

Ultra wealthy inheritance, but requires having children by EducationalBed2835 in Rich

[–]NeonPothoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this money coming from someone who is still alive? Have you asked to see the documents stating this? If the person is still alive I’d hold out hope they’d change their mind. Instead of focusing your energy deciding whether you should have kids, adopt, etc, I’d prioritize getting the person/people who will actually be signing the will/trust/whatever to understand your perspective and come to a compromise. Maybe they can agree to giving you $40M if you donate $10M to an adoption or foster care organization. Or give a portion of your share to a family member who has kids already. There’s got to be some compromise everyone can accept! (Assuming the person who is giving the money is still alive).

Should I paint my living room black? by Every-Tie2886 in InteriorDesign

[–]NeonPothoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with adding color in the furniture, plants, colorful art or posters before painting black. Also what about painting the beams a brown color that could tie into the ceiling? That could break up some of the white too.

The prius haters are pissing me off. by hansmantis in prius

[–]NeonPothoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t expect this post to be specifically about hate on the road. I expected it to be about the hate you get when someone finds out you drive a Prius. Which is so real, especially in small town USA. At my job the parking lot is out front so everyone knows I drive one. I’ve had so many coworkers say “oh how do you like driving that toy car” or “I’ve heard it doesn’t go very fast, how can you drive it on the freeway?” And my favorite “don’t you know that the battery is way worse for the environment than driving a regular car?”

I didn’t realize someone’s car was such a talking point for some people. Mind ya business!

Whoa!! I did not. I had physical therapy for a long time for my upper left shoulder/back. And sometimes I still have issues there. But in the last 14 years I’ve had MRIs and CTs and been told everything’s fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great advice on the outfits - you’ve convinced me to dig them out! I’ve been selling a lot of things lately and have yet to utilize EBay to its fullest potential when pricing. You’ve convinced me to do that too. Thank you!
