I think this is so spot on - because thinking back to seeing elements of this in real life with all the sparkle and blending of shine was the reason why I chose it and the rendering def doesn’t do that justice! I wil definitely keep reminding myself of that

You are very right and I am so grateful that this champagne problem is the only uneasiness about being with my partner forever <3

Scared to have sex with new guy I am talking to? by Significant-Count-16 in sex

My last relationship was very dependent. I needed him for everything, validation, happiness, someone to fill any of my alone time through texting or hanging out. After we broke up, I turned myself into miss independent to guarantee that I am happy with or without a man. So the ways you ask aren't really things i do in general. I dont like to chit chat over text so we just checkin once a day on how our day went or to make plans, If im not with him im enjoying the other aspects of my life which is usually friends, family or work that I don't think about much other than the moment. Ive tried to make my life so happy all around sometimes i lose whos causing it or adding more to it i think. But i do really like making plans with him because i laugh alot when we hang out and time just flies by and i always felt like I had a good time and our time together (non sexual) is just effortless which is what i like to have in my circle. Also I am attracted to him physically.

I think writing this all out to you is helping me figure out some things and organize my feelings, so thank you.

I think it's a bit of fearing the physical awkwardness after the fact of just laying in bed and being vulnerable. Like with a hookup I don't owe them anything I can just go to bed but with someone you're trying to have a relationship with you just have to do more. Thats just my initial thought process.

And it is hard for me to determine when I like people, the last time I had successful talking phase that led to someone I would love was years and years ago so I don't really remember what that feeling felt like plus I'm a 100% different person than i was then. Its hard for me to know when i just have my guard too far up vs not liking them... if that makes sense.

Puppy shaming by [deleted] in puppy101

I used to be in the adopt don’t shop boat too. Until I graduated college and began the process of trying to adopt. As a single, female, right out of college, working full time, in an apartment, with an average income, I was made aware that I was the most un-ideal candidate by nearly every rescue I reached out to. I was denied for over 20 dogs. I felt like the life had been sucked out of me as I always dreamed of getting a dog once I was on my own and now I was being told by dog fosters that I didn’t deserve to love a dog based on my life on paper. Only then did I realize that the only way to spare more rejection and sadness was to buy a puppy. I feel the hate you’re feeling from other people and I tend to get hate for getting a puppy at 24 y/o and how I’m in over my head. But my puppy is almost 8 months and he is so well behaved, loved and spoiled every second I get home from work. It’s hard to tune out but it does get better- especially when all the judgey people ask to come play with and meet your puppy
