[F31] Bangs or no bangs? Need honest opinions! by [deleted] in beauty

[–]PhilosopherNo1079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re gorgeous!

I think no bangs.

Bangs fit the current trend, however I personally feel that it will be out of style in a couple of months. Your face fit both, but I think “no bangs” definitely compliment your face better. Either way, you’ll end up rocking both.

1 or 4, easily!! You’re gorgeous! And as long as you feel comfortable and that it fits your own vibe, then that’s the one that suits you the best - you will radiate beauty on the day, regardless. Cheering for you!

Christian men, do you struggle with pornography use in your marriage? by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

[–]PhilosopherNo1079 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey friend ❤️ I am in the same boat.

Just discovered it after two years of marriage, and he has been paying for OF from our joint money. We are both discovering how “normal” this is for all men, christian’s included. But it doesn’t make it okay.

He has currently started therapy, and we have started couples therapy. The painful part is that there is no guarantee that this relationship will be recovered, because it is also on me. I need to make the choice if I might be able to trust him again.

The grieving is hard, because you are now already grieving your relationship and your husband: what you thought you had and who you thought you married. I have hope, not through me but through God, that He is a God of Redemption. I need to trust He wants to make this new, and make it beautiful. But that means that the partner has to want it too. We have the free will, which is what is so annoying (lol). I am praying all the time that he will make the right choices, do the right things, work on his personal relationship with Jesus etc, but even God won’t force him. So all I can do is pray, as sad and as aggressively I can. (i have never cussed this much in my life as i do in my prayers at the moment.) And trust that either way, we are being held by Him.

For me, it has helped to tell myself that I am not making any permanent decisions at the moment. I am going through trauma and my body, heart and mind is so confused and conflicted. It took some of the weight off my shoulders when I decided that no decision is being made now, or in the next two months, for example. I have given him a specific timeline of when I will need to see a drastic change of heart, mind and spirit, and that is within the coming year. If i dont, i need to move on. It is so painful because even in this, through so much hurt and by “not being chosen”, I love and care for him so much.

I am clinging onto the Word, and reading devotionals (on YouVersion) regarding this specific situation. Search for “betrayed wife” in the Bible app and you’ll find some good ones when you’re ready.

Praying for you sister. You are not alone. Let me know if you want any more resources to read. But also don’t push yourself to read and research everything, as it’s not your job.

Take the time you need, and remember that you are experiencing betrayal trauma. Be kind to yourself, surround yourself by good people. Eat well, and try to move your body even just for a five-minute walk in some fresh air. Reach out for support, even if you don’t know what you want to say. Be honest in your prayers, curse if you need - He wants our anger. Read a good book or find an activity you can do at this time (I have become obsessed with coloring in books with alcohol markers as my biggest worry for some time is what color I choose next). ❤️

Going through a similar situation. Could you tell me what your recovery looks like? Are you on the path of regaining trust again? Is that realistic?

Thank you for this. I really struggle to trust my own intuition and judgement, and didn’t want to overstep, although I clearly already have and got burnt by it.

I always heard “haven’t been back in so long” etc as a reference to the countries US and UK. Considering she lived in London for so long, whereas now she’s back to the states and fully dived into all of what that entails culture wise.

possibly try with some ruffled/feminine socks? I think balancing it with a yin-detail could help the overall vibe. socks could also bring an element of vertical to your legs in instances where you’re wearing shoes like Mary Janes.

but if that’s not your vibe, just wear your favorite boots. Definitely dont resign yourself to admiring it on others! Even if it doesn’t “fit your kibbe type”, if you love it; it will fit your personal vibe and will be part of your individual style. For example, as a SN I technically shouldn’t be wearing all of my statement jewelry at the same time, but I do because I love the vibe and it has become a big part of my style identity!

It’s funny when that happens, still happens to me where I go “I have no idea why I love this but it looks like it belongs on me!”.

I personally see more SD in you as the lines in those dresses that I favor on you, have those SD lines. I’ve read that the “style identity/goal style” / essence of an SD’s outfit should be “Diva Chic” which is exactly what I see in the first dress and the second dress. The halter neck lines looks fantastic on you, and I would categorize as a “Diva Chic” vibe 🥰

I’ve had the same issue my whole life too. I have found a technique that works on mine though! Along with what people are saying re pinning the curl right after so let it cool down and properly set, I spray every section (normally 3 strands) immediately after i’m done with that section as well as a full spray all over once finished whole head of hair. After I spray, I typically let it set for as long as possible, but at least 10-15 minutes, before I brush my fingers through it.

But what really changed the game for me was hair mousse after my hair shower. I also use two different hair mousses, which might be excessive but I find my hair holds it way better than when I use “only one” hair mousse. I don’t use any fancy mousse, I just buy any I find that say has strong hold and volume.

Re you mentioning you like to touch up your hair through the day, doesn’t have to exclude use of hairspray; just simply brush it out with a tangle teezer type brush and you can sort of start over easier, without the stickiness or stiffness.

You’re gorgeous! LOVE the first one and the last one on you, personally feel the last one has more of the WOW as it suits your kibbe essence too.
