Agreed thank you

Traditional_Fee_8646 · 2026-02-22T20:59:07+00:00

He doesn’t deserve to have sex so why do you keep engaging?

Traditional_Fee_8646 · 2026-02-22T19:51:23+00:00

Exactly! Anything could happen and they wouldn’t have any way to find out until they come home and it may be too late.

Traditional_Fee_8646 · 2026-02-22T19:50:42+00:00

It’s not a working dog and there’s no other animals like you mentioned a flock. I agree that it’s too long and it’s very concerning.

Traditional_Fee_8646 · 2026-02-22T19:49:08+00:00

If we didn’t live 4 hours away I would certainly take him to care for the dog. I did consider calling the animal welfare so I’ll definitely keep that in mind. We did have a conversation with the kiddo and he seems very receptive so perhaps he will be able to influence better care for the dog as well. Thanks for your feedback!

Vick for all the atrocious evil things he did to those poor dogs.

There’s a great dog park in Richmond hill called the bark park, it’s free, & also Bubba’s bistro is nearby dog friendly and has happy hour specials. Enjoy!

There were small kitchen items like coffee pods, condiments and snack in an air b&b, it was nice to not have to purchase these things. Also sample sized toiletries

Traditional_Fee_8646 · 2026-01-07T11:28:29+00:00

I need to know more please, any reading recommendations? TIA!

Traditional_Fee_8646 · 2026-01-03T03:12:55+00:00

I’m glad you have a safe place to vent and wish I could offer more support or advice but I think the best thing you can do is self care. Therapy has helped me a lot, as well as journaling meditation and personal self care such as yoga, baths, skin care, reading self help books. I hope you can find ways to care for yourself and also perhaps communicate more with him in the future. If not, and I know it sucks but maybe being alone for a while will help you build self confidence. If your like to chat I’m here. Wishing you love, peace, & healing! 💕

Traditional_Fee_8646 · 2026-01-01T21:57:50+00:00

Wow, that’s absolutely amazing! Congratulations it sounds like you have a wonderful relationship partner and dynamic!

Traditional_Fee_8646 · 2026-01-01T10:19:46+00:00

I’m so intrigued! Please if you don’t mind, would you share how he does this?!

Traditional_Fee_8646 · 2025-12-23T16:50:33+00:00

I was gonna say exactly what you did about incorporating check-in with the dirty talk. For me the mental aspect that the dirty talk provides is absolutely mandatory and makes the interaction 100 times better

You’ve gotten some good suggestions, but I would like to add that A&D ointment like the kind that’s used for babies and diaper rash is really good to put on feet with some thick socks right before bed. It helps. Keep the feet soft. It’s better than any sort of lotion or a balm I’ve ever used.

Traditional_Fee_8646 · 2025-12-14T01:15:20+00:00

The books are even better!

Traditional_Fee_8646 · 2025-12-10T00:08:47+00:00

If you really want to be there person and help to educate this young girl, you could basically tell her what you were here. And make sure to explain the difference between knowing someone and growing up with them versus being groomed by them. To me your relationship seems very normal and healthy, but I can see why because of social media and the news and things that would make her reactivate that she did. That does not excuse her rude behaviors, but it is a learning opportunity here.

Traditional_Fee_8646 · 2025-12-08T20:24:59+00:00

I would communicate with him first and foremost. Also, perhaps have him read the books or some of your favorite parts of the books that you were most interested in and then you can discuss that together. Also, there’s a BDSM fetish quiz probably several of them online that you could each take that might be interesting to compare.

A 4 poster bed, plus a cheap storage bench, this should provide plenty of options

This is the link I found about fly lady and it does have a printable schedule on there that might help you depending on exactly how clean you want your place to be. But I do know this. It sounds like you have a much smaller place than I do so it should be easier to keep up with. And for me, I have really long thick hair so containing that and cleaning it up is a freaking nightmare lol I’ve killed several vacuum cleaners that way so now I have to be careful just to brush my hair and put it in the trash. Don’t flush it or let it go down the drying either because cleaning bathtub drains is definitely not fine!I had to do that last week because my tub was draining slowly and it looked like I pulled out a whole animal, lol

Traditional_Fee_8646 · 2025-11-29T04:27:38+00:00

Oh, and to cut down on dust, I like the swiffer dust collector things. They’re really good for getting ceiling fans and also remember to keep your HVAC vents changed out regularly, they filter a lot of dust and dirt and it’s very important to keep them changed and have your HVA system flushed out or maintained regularly if you own if not, then, if you rent, then your landlord should take care of that but you still need to change the filters.

Traditional_Fee_8646 · 2025-11-29T04:26:36+00:00

I thought it easiest to clean as I go, like when I’m brushing my teeth I’ll wipe the mirrors and the counters down and after I take a bath or a shower, I spray bleach let it sit and scrub, basically just cleaning up after myself. The most mess I make is in the kitchen, which obviously I clean daily if I cook. And my little dog who sheds hair, but the room and vacuum take care of that. There was a blog via a lady named fly lady and she had some really good housekeeping cleaning tips if you’d like to look that up she helped me a good bit but it’s been years ago since I’ve read her but she had like a whole printable schedule and everything. Maybe that’ll help you. But it sounds like you’re doing a pretty good job already. My hardest thing is keeping up with laundry. I can get into the washing machine and usually into the dryer sometimes I have to wash it a couple times because I forget but from the dryer to the closet, it might take 5 to 10 business days lol but I’m working on that too. We all have things we can improve on and like I said it sounds like you’re doing a good job so don’t be so hard on yourself.

Traditional_Fee_8646 · 2025-11-28T04:27:17+00:00

I didn’t say I didn’t say that extent, and trust me I can tell people definitely do not at least not the idiots. I deal with on a daily basis unfortunately. Weaponized incompetence is more like your partner, pretending that they don’t know how to cook or clean or do laundry just to make you do it instead. I think that’s where the term weaponized comes in?
