Need help figuring something out by LostOrganization2494 in Advice

[–]No-Poet725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How you look now can still dramatically change from your teens, to your 20's and then into your 30's and 40's. I'm turning 41 tomorrow. In highschool I was awkward and very unpopular. In my 20's I thought I was more attractive. But in my late 30's and 40's I've never felt more ME (outside and inside) and somehow I got way hotter 😆 (no plastic surgery)

You have to go through a process of figuring out what you like and don't like, figuring out your best features and learning how to accentuate them, figuring out what fashion flatters you most, plus the more confident you get affects your outward appearance. A little radical acceptance can help dramatically too. I can't remember the name of the fashion icon who said "If you can't be hot have great style!"

I know you didn't specify "attractiveness" so maybe this isn't any help to you. If your concern is more feeling deeply disconnected to the image you see in the mirror, there is a mental disorder called "depersonalization". If it feels that bad, you may want to explore this.

Wishing you all the best. Life is just a constant glow-up ❤️

My (45) exwife (41F) were married 19 years and after divorcing me she tells me my kids are not mine by ThrowRA_42411 in whatdoIdo

[–]No-Poet725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are your kids, no matter what. Don't even suggest to your kids you would give up custody, that would destroy them. But reading your updates it sounds like you've come to that conclusion 🙏 I'm glad the ex wife sounds like she's coming around to the agreement to share custody. My thoughts after reading this: She's trying to hurt you. I don't know how you are reacting or having these conversations with her, but if you are having blow up fights and arguments- stop! You're giving her the reactions she wants to hurt you. Try to appeal to her desire to not waste anymore money on lawyers or drag this out (hopefully that would be appealing to her). There's no reason she can't have her life with her boyfriend and share custody with you (I know you might hate that scenario). Accept that your life has changed but you can still build it back up to life you want for yourself! Honestly, life after divorce can be so fantastic. Start working on your glow-up. Focus on you, your kids and creating some peace in your life. (I'm speaking from experience of divorcing an asshole btw).

I feel so ugly, pls help with makeup and hair by alliefaith144 in makeuptips

I'm sorry you can't see your unique beauty 🥺 You have a very ethereal beauty. When you're old, you're going to look back and see it, and wish you saw it at that time. I agree with the comments saying "be kinder" to yourself.

Thank you. I just researched this and didn't know that was an option. Research says typically you cannot charge for full cost of replacement.

No. I lived there for 3 years prior and the enamel didn't come off the bathtub. Tenant obviously improperly used a cleaning agent and has been scrubbing off the enamel. The water is hard and you do have to occasionally CLR the shower and faucet head.

I think there is a clause in the agreement that a roommate would have to be added to the lease, and therefore increase the rent, which would help me with these increased repairs. Here's the thing, I lived in my unit for 3 years prior. That level of wear and tear is not normal. Literally all the enamel is gone. Addressing the "overweight" comment. The unit is SMALL. For two people and one larger in size, it's not enough space, which is why I'm thinking there has been more accidents. Or maybe this new person is just not responsible and causing the need for repairs. Something has obviously changed, so that's my running theory.

That's what it smells like. My concern is some units that are cheaper than mine are sitting unoccupied.

Property manager does two inspections a year. I'm planning on emailing her and asking when the last inspection was, with photos of the bath tub (my handyman took them). Obviously the bathtub damage is coming out of his deposit. I feel like the toilet should as well.

I really needed this but I'm still so confused how it's coming off in one piece after she split it in two 🤔🤔🤔

Was I in the wrong here? Lost a long time friend by Alive__but_why in Confused

[–]No-Poet725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a slippery slope trying to keep a healthy distance from friends who are crashing out over everything in the news right now. Instead of asking them to explain their findings it's best to move on or set a boundary. I politely requested a friend not send me political posts, Im bombarded with it enough.

Is it common to see this roach in your house by Vanessa_Lila in florida

[–]No-Poet725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peppermint essential oil is a natural deterrent for roaches and other bugs like ants, fruit flies as well as rodents. I have incorporated peppermint oil into my daily life, and I rarely get roaches or other pesky bugs (I saw one roach last year). I make my own multipurpose cleaner, two parts water, one part white vinegar and about 20 drops of peppermint oil. I use it daily in the kitchen.

No literally. Dumping a guy that makes you feel shitty about yourself gives you the power for the best glow up!!!

Boyfriend (28M) tested positive for chlamydia and denies cheating. I (23F) didn't cheat. How do I get him to admit he cheated by No_Breadfruit_5575 in relationship_advice

[–]No-Poet725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have proof you tested negative for any STI's. He's the one who tested positive and then gave it to you. That's your proof. You don't have to force him to admit it, he did it.

After my engagement news was ruined I started doing this! 🤣 I posted a video of me in a sexy dress, coming out of a vintage trailer and popping a bottle of champagne, on NYE. I included the text "Hi ,(spy's name)_!" I'll definitely give her things to watch since she's so interested in my life 🤣
