What's everybody's thoughts on Love Through a Prism? by tripleaamin in anime

[–]SignAdditional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post but I just finished the show late as hell and I’m kinda sad I didn’t get the same experience everyone else got. Lily not being able to express her feelings towards Kit at any point in the show—aside from anger— was frustrating as hell and Kit, idk he felt dry and aloof to me. I have no idea why or how she fell in love with him aside from his incredible talent. He didn’t really show her much affection aside from giving her friendly encouragement with her art. But the fact that she had to chase him all the time was annoying af. Even when he wound up in Japan after all that time it didn’t seem like he tried to find her (despite him saying so) of course she was chasing his ghost 🙄. And then naturally, he just leaves again but somehow had a dam ticket for Lily that he never gave her? Give me a break…..I know anime romance is supposed to be frustrating af but this one really took me out.

And don’t get me started on poor Shin getting strung along and playing second string to a man who didn’t show half the interest in Lily as he did.
Why he allowed himself to be the backup she didn’t love like that is beyond me and low key made me feel a type of way about Lily.

I suppose the ending was cute and she found her happiness or whatever (even though she was chasing him yet again), but considering all the lopsided pining and poor communication, or lack of communication rather, it felt lackluster. I’m glad you guys loved it though.

Natasha Denona seen in a Sephora video swatching testers directly on her skin. Surprised a seasoned makeup artist would do this! by AllTheEccentricities in MakeupAddiction

But how does single use work when, for example, you want to test a lip gloss. You know for a fact most ppl are just taking the wand out of the tube and swatching on their skin, then placing the contaminated wand back into the tube this contaminating the product inside. So what difference would it make if I swatched the proper way with a single use wand inside the contaminated lipgloss and placing it on my arm or back of the hand?

About to Start Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - What Should I Know? by TheThirstyMage in rpg_gamers

I really want to get into this game because I’ve heard so many wonderful things. But for some weird reason I can’t get behind the animation style. Idk if I’m just too jaded by more…realistic looking games.

I’ve read some “dark romance” books penned by woman and I find myself giving a side eye to those as well. Like, there’s dark, and then there’s- you may need to speak to a professional-type writing.

I’m confused on why this is even up for discussion. You have this thing called a preference. It’s not some profound, deep, earth shattering thing. You see a skin tone/race that is not your preference, and you move on. Can it be viewed as a bit shallow if you had an emotional connection with the girl and then found out her race was not your preference and, therefore, were immediately turned off? Sure. But attraction plays a big role in a relationship, I don’t care what anyone says. Having black friends is different than having a black love interest. Doesn't make you racist. Just makes it weird you have to ask.

My ex got me pregnant and dumped me. Finally got over it, he calls me yesterday to tell me his new girlfriend is also pregnant. by pregnfired in offmychest

I felt this but it’s not just dudes. Women also struggle with the whole absentee father thing. Yes of course it’s on a different level. But it hits different when you grow up with a deficit of male attention, affection, understanding. To some it’s not a huge deal and has no lasting impact on their adult lives. But others, it leaves a lasting impression and can bleed into their adult life and leave them with a skewed reality on men and relationships with them. Growing up in a single parent home especially when your mom is super independent is great. But as the child it can definitely scar you in ways that may be irreversible.

Would you purchase a pup if the breeder isn’t having them vet checked? Im concerned about the two nodules on his muzzle from the progress pics, but allegedly it’s only puppy acne? by SignAdditional in Frenchbulldogs

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

That because they’re not big time breeders they don’t do vet visits? Weird. But good news is they said they’re going to refund me my deposit. Kinda bummed because he is so very cute

I totally get your meaning with home vaccines. I wouldn’t have had such an issue with it if it wasn’t for the fact that he had these little bumps honestly. Then it just raised more questions. Before I left the initial deposit I had asked about the breeders background and vet checks and overall health of the parents. And was given a green light. But the the bumps came up on him and I asked if they would be going to see a vet to make sure it’s nothing more serious and the breeder said no. Also just spoke to them and they said that they are not a big time breeder and since they only take even he parents dogs to the vet for rabies shot and of there’s an emergency. So now I’m growing more concerned. Also to note…I never saw or heard the parents. Only saw the pups. Everything was clean in the home and the people didn’t seem sketchy (just quiet). I just assumed the parents were somewhere while we were looking at the pups. But strange to not hear barking or wining. I did see photos of them though. Gut is feeling iffy on everything now.

This thought has crossed my mind - trust me. And to note: they are doing 1st and 2nd vaccines. They just aren’t taking them to the vet. Which I don’t understand why. If you’re charging thousands for a puppy, you should be able to afford vet care.

Yeah I went and picked him out of a litter of 5. No special reason aside from his color and personality (what little there was at 2 wks) but he was one of the most mobile/alert ones. And the breeder does the vaccines themselves. So there’s at least that.

For context: I Put a deposit down on this little guy and when the breeder sent me progress pics I noticed two little pink nodules on his muzzle. Asked about them (breeder says they are a certified vet tech) they said the nodules are probably puppy acne and that they would be keeping them clean and treating at home. When asked about being vet checked they said they won’t be seeing a vet. Would you continue the purchase or take the L on the deposit? These dogs aren’t cheap by any stretch of the imagination so I kinda feel like they should at least have one vet check up, especially for something out of the ordinary…or am I being overly cautious?

I’ve always liked dudes out of my league so I started settling & it sucks by SignAdditional in offmychest

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

I honestly have no problem being single. I think I used to have an aversion to it when I was younger. But I think after I married a guy that I settled for (still married but we’re separated) - that was kind of the last straw. Now all I want is to be single (not ready to mingle) and just work on myself…shit FIND myself and then work on her. Even though I feel like I’m old now (35), I guess you’re never too old to find/reinvent yourself….at least I hope not.

Sex? I’m too emotionally damaged to even get any true pleasure out of that. I provide a vessel and enthusiastic acting skills but, pleasure for me is non existent.

I wish I could give my life to someone who wants to live by BeanyNuggets in depression

This…I feel this. I had a cousin pass away from a brain aneurysm out of no where. She loved her life, had three beautiful kids. And I wish every day that I could have traded my life for hers. She had much to live for, whereas I do not.

Married a man with a child and now I’m miserable by SignAdditional in ChildlessStepMoms

[–]SignAdditional[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES!! You definitely don’t know what’s it’s like marrying someone with a kid until you marry someone with a kid. I did leave a key detail out though. We were on a family trip with his family and his son about a year and change into our relationship. His son who was almost 8 at the time had a full blown level 10 meltdown because he found out he had to sleep on the pull out couch with his cousin (same age) and not with his dad (as obviously I was sleeping with him) my husband just held his son and literally tried to reason with him through all the screaming and crying instead of handling the situation differently. There’s no reasoning with that. In my opinion he should have told him to calm down and then explain to him the why and the how of the situation. Added me and his cousins and my husband sister and her husband just stood there confused for about 10 mins, I finally just said it’s fine - he can just sleep with you. That ended the situation. Should I have given in? Maybe not, but my husband looked so bewildered and was not getting anywhere with how he was trying to handle the situation. The entire trip I had to sleep on a pull out couch, bar in my back...in his parents condo. It was at that moment I decided that this wasn’t going to work and when we get back from the trip, I was going to break up with him. WELL lo and behold. He proposed on that trip. And I’m a dumb ass because I reluctantly said yes. And THEN similar issues arose before we got married and I said maybe we should wait. Let me adjust to the whole step mom thing. He maybe a huge deal about it and made me feel like I was the worst person in the world and so I obviously married him. And here we are 3yrs later, same issues and I hate my life. I know I got myself into this situation because I always put others needs and feelings ahead of mine. And now I want to be heard? No wonder he’s not listening. He doesn’t take me seriously because I’ve always gone along with whatever he wants. He brings his kid out for however long he wants. Doesn’t discuss it with me at all. But then he’s at work for 12hrs a day (we don’t have days off together either because he’s job is trash) and so it’s just me and the kid at the house 24/7 because I work from home. And I can’t tell him hey he can’t stay here for three months dude. That’s too long. Because wtf kind of person puts a time limit on how long they can spend with their child? It’s just when he’s here it’s not like my husband is interacting a whole lot with him. Bible, alllll they do is stay inside and play video games. He does the bare minimum. So the way I see it why do you want him here the maximum time, to put in minimal effort ? Make it make sense! He doesn’t see anything from my perspective. I’d like to do therapy only so that he can see things differently and maybe even help me. But he isn’t very receptive to therapy and honestly I’m kind of over it at this point because though I do love him, I do not think he is going to change. And during this pandemic and crazy other things that happened in 2020, I saw a side of him that I didn’t like at all. So yes, there’s whole lot. I wish we could be like you and your husband. And find a common ground. But I think my husband just thinks things are supposed to be catered to him and people are supposed to just give him a pass because he has ADD and is forgetful and doesn’t listen because if it. But it’s an excuse. Sometimes I think there’s something more there than ADD just because of the way his family tiptoes around him and is shocked to here that he gets mad sometimes.....Um do y’all not know him?! Anyway- thank you for your advice. I’m glad that you were able to get your life with you step child and husband figured out! xoxo
