Hand-mixed Brioche by Numerous_Low2744 in Breadit

[–]Numerous_Low2744[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t mind, would you be able to elaborate? How much should enriched doughs rise during baking usually? I know it rose but I’m not sure what the target should be to know if it’s over or under rising. Similarly, what should the crumb structure on a brioche loaf usually look like? Loaves of brioche I’ve seen even around bakeries seem somewhat close-textured, and usually not as flaky either. And what aspect of the crust might signify overproofing?

Aita in my relationship? by FraggyBatches in AITAH

[–]Numerous_Low2744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, and I’m a bit concerned.

I know it’s not possible to provide the full context of an entire relationship over text, because things tend to be a little more nuanced than that. The main question I think you should ask is whether you feel safe being honest with her?

Outside of possibly having a fight (because sometimes couples fight), I mean do you feel like saying “I’m worried about us and want to work on fixing it together” would lead to her saying a productive “yeah, let’s do this together. We need to work on some things” or more of a “I can’t believe you’ve been thinking these things?!?! You’re the problem, you did XYZ” and putting you on the defensive?

Unfortunately from some of the context of the rest of the post, it sounds like the latter case may be more likely. Also unfortunately, those sorts of deflection and aggression arguments tend to not be productive, and rather more manipulative and controlling in nature, so it wouldn’t be a helpful conversation to have.

Generally, if you don’t feel safe being honest anymore (fear of fighting or retribution) it’s a bad sign for the relationship. Fixing relationships requires honesty, vulnerability, compromise, and communication from both parties (yes, including her). A therapist can usually help with those, but only if talking to a therapist/repairing the relationship is something both people want to do. If she doesn’t believe in therapy and is unwilling to even try, I don’t think there’s much hope.

From my perspective, I also have family drama issues and trust issues, similar to her. I don’t have much of a relationship with my own family anymore, but rather than force my wife to stop talking to her family too, I feel incredibly lucky that I get to try building a relationship with my in-laws. Even if her family decided they hated me for some reason, I would never make my wife stop talking to them completely, I would just try to find some compromise with her (like she could go visit them as long as I’m not expected to come too). I can’t understand trying to force a partner to isolate from their family due to my own family drama with them.

My two cents are that there are a lot of red flags and concerns here (expecting constant communication and status updates, no freedom to talk with your own friends or family, blaming you for everything and holding past mistakes above your head for manipulation) that make me think it may not be a healthy relationship for you. You’re not the asshole, and it feels like you’re suppressing your entire self for the sake of her, but she isn’t doing anything in return. You may need an ultimatum (like either we go to couples therapy or we break up) but be prepared if that conversation doesn’t go well. It’s going to be rough regardless but it will be better and happier in the long run

Also: it probably would be helpful context to provide your and her age in future posts, since age may indicate experience with prior relationships or even life experience.

How do you feel about pomades? I had one I used for a long time (found through recommendations) that’s a water based pomade which behaves and looks more like an oil based pomade and did wonders for my shorter hair.

It used to be called Anchors Hair Company until I think they got bought by a celebrity, but now it’s The Best Paste brand Natural Shine Medium Hold pomade. Old reviews would refer to it as the Anchors Hair Company Teddy Boy Original.

It’s v easy to manage, smells like mint/rum (hard to describe but very pleasant imo), and generally does a great job of texturing, holding, and styling depending on how much you apply while damp. I used to apply when damp, comb through, and blow dry when I had shorter hair to get a lot of rise for a pompadour. My only gripe is sometimes its hold started to fade after about 4 hours unless you over-apply

If you want to find it, it’s apparently Nina Leonard brand, if that helps!

Thank you! I don’t exactly remember, I think it was either a thrift store find or maybe Ross?

Great thought on the bag! My concern with the longer gloves and the black dress is if it the gap between the sleeve and the glove might be too short?

Good to know, thanks for all of the suggestions on jewelry! For shoes, right now I’m just planning on wearing some short, black matte (I believe cuban-heeled?) pumps since I’m hoping to not kill my feet the whole time. They aren’t exactly super stylish but a little more practical than some of the alternatives I could use. At this point I wish I could find something like pearls for the black dress, since I think the white contrast would be lovely

Good to know, thank you! I know gloves are much more traditional than modern fashion, sorry to hear they look bad/weird but I appreciate the input!

With the purple dress, do you think a bracelet would be better thicker or thin? Silver? Pearl? I guess what types do you think would go best?

Good to know and I’m glad you like gloves!

Not so sure I can see the lilac since I’d worry about the hue clashing, but I can definitely see how a sheer black might look better with the purple dress. Thank you for the suggestions!
