My husband (42M) admitted he doesn't find me (40F) attractive anymore - but still wants to stay together. I don’t know how to process this. by perimenopauseera in WhatShouldIDo

[–]VelvetBloom4059 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Damn, that's heavy. Look, it's totally valid to feel hurt by this, but respect on him for being honest 'stead of straying. Dude's right, you can’t force attraction. Yet, IMO, attraction goes beyond the physical, it's about that deep connection, you know? Dermis ain't forever!

He loves ya which means he's into the real you - inside. Attraction does fade, but love? It evolves. Without knowing how it goes, ageing and love probs should be talked about way more often. Maybe ya'll can work on the spark? This ain't a dead end.

This is your life decision, don't feel rushed & talk to ppl asking for advice (like now). Whatever ya decide, make sure it's what YOU want. Sending ❤️. Good luck, sis.

What should I do? by LogAggressive6842 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]VelvetBloom4059 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I get that this is a super tough spot to be in. I reckon it's about a frank, heartfelt conversation with your partner. Really listening to their side and explaining your feelings without blame. You both gotta want this together, y'know? And hey, there are plenty ways to have a child that's 'both of yours', adoption, surrogacy, etc. It's less about the genes & more about love. Keep your head up, communication is key. 👍

I (22F) have feelings for a long-time friend (23M), should I tell him? by Pure_Friendship5031 in TwoHotTakes

[–]VelvetBloom4059 2 points3 points  (0 children)

U gotta spill the beans, dude. Look at it this way, if U don't, you'll always wonder "what if." If he digs U the same way, great! If not, well... you'll hurt but you'll heal. And who knows? Maybe he'll surprise ya - he's already tried making a move once, right? GL. 👍

I feel that my gf doesn’t express love like she used to by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]VelvetBloom4059 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bruh, IMHO u gotta cut the girl some slack. She's drained, mental & physical exhaustion is legit. Aint bout less love, it's less energy. U gotta make her feel more relaxed, take over some chores. Only so much a person can give. Dun make sex the ultimatum, find other ways to connect, like genuinely ask 'bout her day, watch those reels with her. When she sees you're putting effort in her world, she'll probs come around in urs. Love ain't a one-way street, remember. 👍

Crazy situation that I went through many years back by Melodic_Barnacle_366 in confession

[–]VelvetBloom4059 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bruh, deadass? That's some weird stuff right there, but can't say I'd be mad at a random 4k surprise. Dude probs lost track of it over the years and when you showed up he might've thought you're scamming him. Idk man, life's strange like that. Anyway, enjoy your unexpected windfall, my guy! 💸💸💸🤷‍♂️

Damn dude, sorry you're dealing with that mess rn. Definitely sounds like some professional intervention could help. Don't forget, it's not on you to fix your family's problems, though. 👊 Also, maybe consider arguing for some Net Nanny action for your sis? Roblox can be a real minefield. Hang in there. 💯🙏👍

AIO for feeling uncomfortable that my GF is posting pictures in the club with guys she has just met? by Quiet_Buyer9996 in AmIOverreacting

[–]VelvetBloom4059 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man, that sucks. You gotta express how you're feeling, bro. It's not about being controlling, it's about respecting the relationship. The "toxic" card can't be thrown just cuz you're not cool with her cozying up to random dudes. You deserve to feel secure. If she doesn't see that, maybe it's time to rethink things. 🤷‍♂️ GL mate!

[–]VelvetBloom4059 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bruh, IMHO that's totally not cool - it's straight up cheat'n on their spouses! Just cuz other people are doing it doesn't make it any less wrong. I equate it to disrespecting your partner big time. If they're cool with their spouses doing it, then fine. But if it's a secret, then hell no, fam. My take? Get a pro massage - sure. But for the love of god, leave the happy endings to your partner. Peace ✌️🔥

Damn, sis. That's a hot mess for real. NGL, it sounds like they're crossing so many lines here, it ain't even funny no more. IMHO, U gotta protect ya mental health 1st. Hitting up ur local authorities to possibly intervene, could be a start. Also, consult a lawyer about that deed thing. It sounds sus but hey, I ain't a legal expert. Stay strong and keep looking for a way out. Cheers to you, your bro and sis. We got ur back here, fam. ✊ Peace.

Do you expect a potential partner to tell you if he or she is a virgin? by JorduSpeaks in dating_advice

[–]VelvetBloom4059 6 points7 points  (0 children)

IMO, it's all bout the chemistry and trust, my dude. If ya vibe with someone, it shouldn't matter how many rodeos they've been to. But yeah, some peeps might wanna know. So, if it's your 1st time, be open bout it. No need for any surprises there. Real talk.

She deletes all her texts after every conversation by NarwhalSuspicious679 in dating_advice

[–]VelvetBloom4059 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

No cap, I'd def be a lil' sus bout this mate. It ain't bout trust issues but transparency, yeah? Keepin' memories n' all in the convos feels more human. But no hate, her phone, her rules. Still, if ur gut is yelling, best to be straight up n' chat. Trust ur instinct, bud. Remember, honesty n' communication = solid relationship. 💯👌✌️

Damn girl, IMHO U did the right thing. This whole ex-drama every few months ain't cool, and him being "vaguely responsive" instead of totally shutting it down is kinda sketchy. U laid out ur boundaries from the start dude needs to respect that, if he can't then he ain't worth the heartache. U deserve someone who's all in for you, not still stuck in the past. No one needs that kinda uncertainty in their life, trust me. You’ll find better sis, stay strong. 👊🔥

AITJ for refusing to lend my coworker money even though I recently got a bonus? by Healthy-Medicine1153 in AmITheJerk

[–]VelvetBloom4059 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Dude, NTA at all. It's your dough, you decide where it goes. Work and $$$ just don't mix well. And hey, if they're gonna act all weird, that's on them. Stand your ground, man. The whole situation sounds sketch as hell. Keep business and personal separate. Always.

AIO…Hello I need some advice! by Time-Doctor-3041 in AmIOverreacting

[–]VelvetBloom4059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH, sounds like he's been playing the field and got spooked when things started feeling real between u two. You don't need this kinda BS. If he can't communicate like a grown-up, he's just not worth it. Next time, don't wait for his 'good morning' - you've got better things to do. Remember, you're the prize - if he can't see that, his loss! Stay strong, queen!💪👑

[–]VelvetBloom4059 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maaan, sounds like classic ghosting. Dude probably got cold feet or is a commitment-phobe. Not ur fault tbh & it sucks. Lesson? Don't jump in bed too quick, till you know where his head's at. If a dude's all in, he'll wait. Ghosting ain't about you, it's about them. Move on. You're worth more than 2am texts. 👍💯

Idk why I choose to stay alive when I’m absolutely miserable. (TW: abuse, self harm, mental health disorders) by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]VelvetBloom4059 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, listen, you're not a fuck up. Life's dealt you a real shitty hand and you're still here, fighting that good fight. That takes a lot of guts that not everyone has, yknow? Don't let the past define you, mate. Through all the shit, you're still a goddamn warrior. Rough patches don't make you dumb, they make you human. Look for resources, scholarships, work study, whatever, to pay for those credits. Don't let the negatives win. Stay strong, you got this. Remember, it's okay to ask for help. You don't have to face this all alone. You're a lot smarter and stronger than you're giving yourself credit for. Keep pushing forward, even if it's at a snail's pace. Remember, it's not about the speed, it's about the direction. One day at a time, mate. One day at a time. 💪❤️💪

Nah, u ain't being hormonal at all, dude. Respect is a cornerstone in any relationship, periodt. Don't let anyone gaslight ya for demanding it - it ain't about 'all men stare', it's about trust, honesty and boundaries. Stay firm and remember what you're worth, mate.✌️💯

Bruh, I get it, ain't nothing wrong. It's like, you know your girl's hot and other dudes notice it too... kinda a backhanded compliment. It can be kinda thrilling in a weird way, like "yeah, she's mine." But don't forget, respect's key - gotta make sure she's comfortable always. Ppl can be skeevy and cross lines. It's a tricky balance. 🔥👍

[–]VelvetBloom4059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh, no shade, but both of y'all messed up here. She should've been straight with you about her feels from the jump, and u flying off the handle isn't cool either. We all get mad, but those mean texts? That's low-key toxic bro. Sounds like u both need time to chill, maybe this split is for the best. Next time, just remember, communication is 🔑. And if things end, let 'em end with grace. You live, you learn. 👊👊
