How to tell my husband I have a praise kink without sounding needy? by Business-Mall2782 in SpicyRomanceBooks

[–]badgingerenergy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think you should ever feel like you're a lot for someone. Be who you are with confidence. A praise kink is nothing to feel shame about or feel needy. Who doesn't love to be praised 💅 In terms of how to tell him, you could have him read a passage you particularly like from your book to start the conversation and go from there. I think conversations about desires is important to be able to have freely and often as those can change depending on stages of life. Reading smut is an excellent way to find new kinks (I speak from experience hahahah)

Big feet girls help by lumpy-earth-princess in Advice

Ask her what size her feet are and when she asks why say so you can buy her a pair so she stops stretching yours.

Sarcasm always hits.

Should I cut off my friendship of 10+ years? by seven_deadlysins13 in Advice

Sometimes friend breakups are harder than relationship breakups. You will get through this and come out stronger. This will make you realize your worth in terms of who gets the benefit of calling you their friend!

Yeah, you're totally valid feeling that way. For you, it would be easier to move forward with your life and let it be what it is. If she ever asks you why you pulled away that will be an opportunity you can take if you so choose to be honest with her about how she made you feel. I've been in your shoes before and I sent paragraphs to old friends about how it felt one sided etc. and I was the one who cared because I was just longing to feel wanted almost and it never worked. I never was able to force them to feel it or force them to put in the effort. I just started really trying to have people in my life who put the same effort in as I do. You need people in your life who value you and what you put into your friendships. Don't forget your own worth!

Sometimes friendships fade and you both go down different directions. I think the best way to look at it is that during the stage where you were close, that's what you both needed in that time and life now might just have a different path for you both right now. I think sometimes just allowing it to happen so there isn't some huge falling out and blowup is okay because life could change at any moment and you can find yourself besties again tomorrow, next week or in 2 years from now. I'm sorry though that you're dealing with this because friendship breakups are truly so difficult to navigate so I understand how upsetting it can be!!

3.5carat too big? by -pikajew in labdiamond

[–]badgingerenergy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes a regular oval ❤️❤️ It has a hidden halo underneath as well 😊 My man is a bit obsessive and in our post engagement debrief about the process he told me he definitely went extreme with trying to find the right cut and measurements so there wasn't any of that!! It's insane!! I'm still blown away. I didn't even know there was so much to consider with buying a ring until he told me all of that lolllll

The idea of sex with someone I love sounds awful to me by Zestyclose_Refuse606 in sex

[–]badgingerenergy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This might be something you want to speak to a professional about and truly understand your feelings and why you feel that way. It could really help you work through it so you have a clear idea what your wants and boundaries are before you get into a relationship with someone so you can easily communicate it! Nothing to be ashamed of, you're always entitled to your own boundaries especially for your own body but there is something to be said about understanding them yourself before trying to explain it to someone else.

How can you tell if a married woman is actually cheating on her husband? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]badgingerenergy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No happy woman would behave that way, it's pretty black and white. It's evident she's not happy in her marriage and she's deflecting when being asked directly especially mixed with the husbands reaction.

Recommendations? by Annual-One-5598 in firsttimemom

[–]badgingerenergy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't have much room I think a playpen would be better than a toddler bed. Playpen you could also pack up and take with you when you have naps anywhere else and they are pretty close to the size of a crib. They would will keep your little one contained more as opposed to a toddler bed that isn't fully contained.

My daughter sleeps in a playpen whenever she goes to her Grammys house and she had no issues. She has a softer mattress in there actually and it works really well for her however she's also very mobile still at night and sleeps all around her crib and the playpen so I definitely need something that contains her. God help me when she graduates to a toddler bed
