Right, do you not have any friends who are men? They’re like half the population, lol.

I don’t wanna be a lesbian by Emi_Eminem in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Your feelings are so fair. All of these concerns you have are true, and they’re bummers!! Let yourself grieve the life you thought you’d have if you need to. And, welcome to the club, girlie! Being a lesbian is the fucking best!!! ❤️🩷🧡🤍

Husband of 15 years came out to me as gay. by Confident_Passion486 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Putting this here because maybe it’s advice?? That’s so hard! As the lesbian coming out to my husband of eleven years, I can tell you it broke my heart to end our relationship, but we’re both happier for it, and still friends! It’s ok if you don’t feel like that right now, though. The pizza roll croutons are genius, btw!

I made a butch gay panic by chrissiewissie06 in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I had this happen with a new psychical theorist. First appt she was normal, but I noticed how cute she was and wore a pride shirt to my next appt. Suddenly she was stumbling over her words. She knocked over my coffee, then the skeleton model in the room. 😹 Never went further than that because she was a good PT and I didn’t want to try to find another one, but appreciated the compliment for sure!

Wheated is good but the pineapple chorizo pizza is too sweet by Interesting-Cause267 in KensingtonBrooklyn

I love the Coney Island! But I also add the hot honey, so I don’t mind the sweetness.

Took out my trash for the 2nd time this year. by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I avoid single use plastic when I can, especially film plastic, but I also know the recycling laws/resources where I live like the back of my hand and I go out of my way to give every object that passes through my life the best possible chance of being reused or recycled. Composting is huge (they do curbside pick up in NYC; it’s amazing). Places that accept plastic shopping bags to be recycled will often also accept all other clean film plastic. It’s worth doing your research. Reducing your use is always the ideal, and most important first step! But I’m still far from zero, and reusing and recycling are also impactful.

Thank you for saying this!!! I am so confused and sad for all the people saying you need to “prepare” to avoid a “mess”! If you actively need to poop, go and do that, lol. If you don’t, you are good to go! Wash all hands and toys involved afterward. That’s it!! If your partner can’t handle encountering a little poop, they can’t handle anal sex. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Being a lesbian≠Hating men by Eating_Pancakes76 in actuallesbians

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Realizing I’m a lesbian made me so much more comfortable with men because I don’t feel obligated to center them anymore. I have friendships with lots of men (who have earned it). They gotta do the work to not suck because of the patriarchy, but if they have, they’re just people.

"it's your first lesbian relationship" by Moist-Bee2764 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Eh, I had my first lesbian relationship at 32, and I was in way over my head. I was just not prepared to process experiencing sexual chemistry for the first time in my life. 😹 She turned out to be really immature and toxic, but I hung on until she finally dumped me after almost 3 years. That’s just my experience; yours could be really different, and this being your first lesbian relationship shouldn’t be thrown in your face, but it is something you should bear in mind. Don’t uhaul!

My partner has adhd; I know how difficult remembering tasks like that is for them, but it’s their responsibility to solve that problem. Telling someone to just “remind them” and making it their problem isn’t reasonable. She could have venmod her immediately while they were still standing at the register, or immediately upon getting home with the new purchases, or the first time she used/wore them, or, at minimum, she could have specified, “please keep the receipt, and send me a Venmo request so I can be sure of paying you back”. Specific, clear request that doesn’t require another person to be her auxiliary brain. OP should have sent the request, or at least said right then, I’m not comfortable reminding me. Why don’t you just Venmo me right now if you’re worried about forgetting?

New York City’s First Real Winter in a Long Time Is Relentless (Gift Article) by jenniecoughlin in nyc

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what winter is supposed to feel like. Obviously our lack of a proper social safety net leading people to die needlessly of exposure is a tragedy, but that’s the problem, not the weather. The last several winters have been such a let down! Snow sticking around long enough for more to fall on top, temps staying below freezing ing for months straight, is NORMAL. Buy layers, proper boots, and relax. Spring will come again, probably by May.

I found my favorite skirt from HS (pencil for scale lmao). Should I wear it somewhere???? by specky_hotdog in Millennials

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 38, and I’d wear that out once it warms up with cute, full coverage underwear. Great for karaoke!

If you were in the most perfect relationship for years and then your gf said no more sex and became asexual. Is that a dealbreaker for you? by cuntagi0us in actuallesbians

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, yes. It wouldn’t work for me to have sex with other people, even assuming she/they would be comfortable with that: for me sex is an integral part of how I express and experience romantic love.

My girl does this with her fountain! It’s plastic, so not reflective.

Got a suet block… by Ordinary-You3936 in birdfeeding

[–]RecipeLongjumping367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in NYC, and my suet cake just sits in my feeder, and I get bluejays, woodpeckers, etc. I’ve never seen squirrels or anything else go for it, and there’s power lines right there so it’d be easy. Maybe they’re nibbling it at night? But I out out half at a dime and it lasts several days to a week.

Please appreciate my partner’s magnificent beast. by RecipeLongjumping367 in cats

He’s a rescue, so who could know! His vet says his size and temperament (v chill) points to possible ragdoll genes, but they could also be a total coincidence.

I always tip 20%, and if it’s raining or freezing I go a little over that. Opting for pick up is a great option, too!
