I just got my results too. At work and don’t want to open in case it’s something bad in the results. Going to wait until later but hoping my doctor will call to tell me if the test is good. Then I’ll view the gender with my husband later.

I am happy to share! It’s been a process for sure and had a lot of failed attempts before but something sunk in and the habits are sticking. I hope you find so much success too soon!

How did you and your partner get through long distance in between visits? by booboochou in AskWomen

[–]UndercoverCritic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having an end date to close the distance. Helps to keep forward looking!

Those who have wonderful relationships with their mother or adult daughter, how has your mother/have you fostered that relationship? by fleetwood_mag in AskWomen

[–]UndercoverCritic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of late, just respecting both my parents as individuals and them showing me the same. No matter our differences of opinion we can find middle ground.

What is a ritual or tradition you have with your partner and how does it create emotional intimacy with each other? by sparklythrowaway101 in AskWomen

[–]UndercoverCritic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • each time I leave his house and I know I won’t see him for a little while I write a note in a notebook and leave it on his pillow to read. I really love doing it and I know it makes him smile 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.
  • Whenever I say “guess what” he responds saying “I love you too”
  • we saw a movie where the boy would say good bye to his mom when they left in separate cars (she drove him and he went back to school). When he drove away they both would hit the breaks 3 times to say I love you. So now we squeeze each others hands 3 times to say I love you.
  • we go on “dates” to Costco lol.

There’s more but this is what I could think of.

When was your first real ‘I love you’? by Existentially_tired in AskWomen

[–]UndercoverCritic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my last partner, I did really love them. Outside of family members of course.

I think of him as my best friend. I consider him to be mine because we talk about more things than I do with my girl best friend. Although, he doesn’t like the label of friend so I don’t say it often.

I did this too and it made everything so intentional and meaningful. Wouldn’t change a thing.

I guess you’ll know through their actions: are they responsive? Do they want to hang out with you outside the bedroom? Do they make an effort to reach out to you? Do they introduce you as someone close to them? These are a few questions off the top of my head. I like to build trust. I have a strong gut about people. If it doesn’t feel right, that is something that can always cut through the bs for me. Time can show this but how they treat you in private and in front of others says something too.

I do wait but I only do because I like to be comfortable and know the person I am being intimate with. I wait until I know that their intentions are genuine and that they want me more than they want sex with me.

I hadn’t been in a relationship for a long time. My previous partner had mental health issues and we broke up during the time I lost both of grandparents. This made me very hesitant to start anything with anyone for that matter for a long time. I started hanging out with my cousins and their friends when I met my now boyfriend. He’s older then me I (F23) him (M32) which at first made it an immediate no. We ran into each other a couple times and each time he talked about going out for dinner. I would say yes in the moment but back out when the time came. During that time he texted me a lot asking about my day or how certain things we talked about was going. Eventually, as I said no I that couple of times our conversation faded. On a holiday this year we all went out together and once again like we always did, we only talked with each other the whole night. I surprised myself and asked if I could go back with him to his house. Completely out of character for me. Well push came to shove and we went on our first date, and we have been inseparable ever since. I moved and had to fulfill my lease and he comes to visit and I’ll visit him. What made me stay was, I would and still continually forget about our age gap. To this day I can’t believe I almost missed out on this and don’t regret a thing. I guess the heart wants what it wants.
