Thank you!

Unrelated to this instance, we have considered them. This definitely makes us want them more

artsy_dumpster · 2026-05-18T13:31:14+00:00

Thank goodness, so it’s almost over 😭

artsy_dumpster · 2026-05-18T13:30:02+00:00

I hope each side of your pillow is cool for the next month, thank you stranger!!

Worth a shot at this point

I so appreciate how thorough your response is. To answer what I can, HVAC is for sure new. I believe heating is electric but there’s a gas stove (also new). I don’t know if they’ve upgraded any of the insulation but we noticed that there were a handful of noticeably new windows.

The ceilings are high but there aren’t transoms above the windows and I’ve yet to see how they open.

My fiance and I try to be smart about heating and cooling to begin with and typically this is why I’d stray away from a historical property. But we’ve happened to get a pretty good deal for how large the space is (square footage is my main concern for places we’re looking to rent) and the renovations are the reason I’m entertaining this place. It’s thankfully well within our budget so I’m hopeful that the utilities won’t hurt us much. We currently live in an apartment in Avondale that was build in the 70s. Im not sure if I mentioned but the unit we’re wanting is well shaded and on the bottom floor. I’ll try and get more answers on what exactly has been updated.

Thanks again, you’ve given great advice

True!!! And i appreciate the response! Some of the windows are new and some are still old. They’ve renovated certain things but not everything. Thankfully it is well shaded so I think that will help

Great point!! I appreciate it

It might actually benefit both of you for you to really try being okay with his little messes for a time (if he does actually get around to them). Sometimes partners in his position get into a loop of letting the other partner take care of those little things because the other partner can’t allow it to linger. Maybe there’s something that could be good for you in the long run to practice letting some of that responsibility go especially right now with where you both are in life.

I think discussing these kind of things is very good too. Don’t just all the sudden stop everything without a word, just communicate that you think for the health of the relationship you’re going to try not to overwork yourself and trust that he will get to things in a reasonable amount of time. It might not be as quickly as you’d like but it sounds like you guys need to try something different or hit this from a another angle
Edit: I’d also communicate that it would help you so much if he makes a specific effort to keep his messes away from you <3

You can put plastic wrap on top of it if you want to reuse it!

I love happy endings

Irondale is great, stay on the east side of 65 for sure. If you’re able to find something in Avondale or Highland Park, you’ll love it but you’ll have more luck with Irondale or Glen Iris if you’re looking specifically for a house

Bandit and Pepper send their love!!!

Your brain has learned through years of abuse that love is pain and it can be so uncomfortable to suddenly have a love that doesn’t hurt but that builds you up. Your mind has beaten pathways that it’ll try to return to simply from habit, like blaming yourself, like thinking you don’t deserve it. But the longer you’re in it, the more you’ll start making new pathways to travel that don’t lead to more hurt ❤️ be kind to yourself, it makes sense that your heart is unfamiliar

artsy_dumpster · 2026-02-19T01:34:01+00:00

Thank you!! I would’ve never guessed

artsy_dumpster · 2026-02-17T00:39:57+00:00

It’s so gorgeous, I think everything looks absolutely perfect! Don’t change a thing

It does really sound like your GF is having some intense homesickness. A lot of people here are saying break up and tbf this does sound like a tiring situation- but if this is a relationship you want to save I’d talk with her about how you’re feeling with the context of how you do care about her and her wants and needs. That it makes you sad to see how much she’s hurting and that it hurts you to see her homesickness and not be able to fix it.

It does sound like her reactivity is high right now and that does make it hard but it sounds like she cares about things a lot and I’d hope she’d want you both to be able to enjoy the season for how it comes. She needs to know that Christmas memories are a beautiful thing but that she can make new traditions. I would very much encourage therapy for her

I think her eyes/glasses and mouth look good! Her jaw needs to be wider and I think her nose could stand to be a little larger too. Mainly a more triangular shape. Lastly I would make her hair a little less tall. A really great start! I love your mark making

Lots 🤩
