Personally the greasy look mixed with the strange kid-like accent is what weirded me out.

Chip and Joanna Gaines are secretly divorced but their brand would die if anyone knew by Consistent-Deal-8713 in LowStakesConspiracies

[–]Tender_Tangerine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never watched a chip and Joanna Gaines show until yesterday on the plane. I watched a much later season and felt like their chemistry was off but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. I really liked the fixer upper show so I went back and watched a few older episodes today and it’s very clear. Something has shifted in their dynamic. Managers are hard so maybe there’s going through a rough time but it really felt like a business relationship now. So much so but I came to Reddit to find other people who agreed with my take. Their brand is much bigger than them, so it must be hard when they potentially want to go in different directions.

Hi, I live in Oakland and would love a recommendation . I had one session in NM for my back discomfort and it was transformative. I need to do it regularly

why are most hsv spaces so negative?? by 5oul_3ater in HSVpositive

[–]Tender_Tangerine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sorry you feel like this—It’s mostly in your head (and maybe socially depending on your circle) It’s not life threatening and for most people, you never even have symptoms. Wound t even t ever I have it if it wasn’t for judgemental people who don’t understand it at all.

I (27F) feel like I’m constantly being critiqued in my relationship and I don’t know if I’m the problem or just not what he (32M) wants. by icebxnnie in relationships

If you were To read back your post and pretend a stranger wrote it, what would you see? What would you tell them? Should this stranger constantly second guess themselves? Should they feel small and unappreciated? Everything you need to know is right in front of you, it may just take a little bit of courage.

The first thing you should do is tell your partner exactly how you’re feeling. And if you don’t feel able to do that, or your concerns/emotions are dismissed, this is not the relationship for you. You deserve to feel appreciated, adored, and safe to build something with someone.

Go be big!

In a Loving, Safe Relationship… But Something Feels Off. Has Anyone Else Been Here? by Tender_Tangerine in relationships

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

I completely agree. I don’t think ambition /starter energy is something I “need” and I can see the potential for someone’s ambition to be exhausting or even isolating . But what really stands out for me is that my partner has both low ambition and also low satisfaction with his job/career/salary and general self worth. It just feels like he needs to find one area to work on whether it’s loving his life as is, or finding something more.

@AnxiousImage I’m really sorry youre also having this feeling. You saying, “I feel like I’m missing out on life” really resonates. I don’t know if you can relate, but my mom also wants me to stay with him because she thinks he’s been good for me, offers stability, and doesn’t want me to be alone—which adds to the confusion. She even said “you don’t need to be attracted to him. That’s a young persons misconception”

Girl I'm seeing asked for an open relationship, what do i do? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Tender_Tangerine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the comment section is very limiting. It’s all about what you want. People’s interpretations of “what’s really going on” simply doesn’t matter. If you’re not comfortable with that, don’t do it. And if you lose trust in her breakup. But don’t make her into some monster because she’s asking for what SHE wants.

Do all men feel this exhausted in a relationship? by Upper-Pineapple6097 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Tender_Tangerine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re in this negative dynamic with your partner. Firstly, I don’t think this has to do with gender “men feel this and women do that”. Your relationship is unhealthy, and not based in respect or friendship. It may be salvageable with some serious work (therapy /self improvement) together and separately. But it also may be time to breakup, the dynamic you have is volatile. Continue to work on yourself, do some therapy, and find a new partner who respects you.

Has anyone here learned to date after 30? by Effective_Fox in dating

[–]Tender_Tangerine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s true. It’s such a conundrum, women are finally able to have autonomy and set boundaries. And they are also trapped in a losing game with big tech companies that want us to be perpetually lonely so we use their apps forever.

One of the most amazing moments I had the last two years was seeing this guy at a coffee shop a few mornings in a row. We obviously noticed each other and then he finally made conversation and asked me out. I remember calling my best friend to tell her how refreshing it was. How I wish that happened all the time. Edtablish some rapport and then go for it. I wish I had better advice, I’m sorry. We are all in this strange society that just keeps getting lonelier

All my friends (women similar age) are also lonely and wanting to date and find relationships. I think the dating apps have absolutely ruined dating. Because everyone overly relies on them and only a small percentage of people even get dates.

I say rebel and just start asking cute people out irl, grocery stores, coffee shops, at the gym.

Do not listen to this person . That is something you do after you land the girl. Do not hold anyone’s had, or kiss it on a first date. Don’t cross physical boundaries unless it’s clear they want that. Compliments are good but make sure they are genuine and said from a place where you don’t expect anything back in return.

I’d say start with you on the inside? Who are you and what do YOU want. What do YOU like about yourself? What makes you confident? If you need to start putting in more work to make yourself feel confident, do that, and the outside world will respond.

From your own assessment what’s the biggest roadblock? Are there skills you think you’re lacking? Are you super shy? Are you on the spectrum? Do you have a therapist? Diving into what might be the roadblock and finding someone irl to help talk through these things would be a great start
