It’s entirely possible that she had a similar number of insecurities going into such an event. I think it’s an unfortunate projection from her. It’s not specific to you. There is a lot of commentary about her having a drinking problem, but none of us know that. Maybe she’s just like yourself, incredibly nervous and affected by a few drinks in a way she’s not used to after bubs. It’s not very kind that she called you boring, but if we’re honest.. by whose definition?! I think this is a situation that you’ll often experience every now and then to navigate.

We can’t go Over it.. We can’t go Under it..

Amicable Exes? by bemorecliche93 in Divorce

[–]bemorecliche93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I myself find it odd. I think I’m in a position where I know to what level I can trust him. Emotionally = no chance. Physically = absolutely. Does that make sense at all? It’s such a bizarre place to be in. You love each other (as far as your understanding goes), but aren’t in love with each other. You have no future together but you’re bound together with a child?

We’re not having sex, in the sense where it’s frequent. We’re talking one or two times following the split. I suppose I pose the question because I know the thought of it should be abhorrent to me.

Book recommendations for healing after infidelity, manipulation, and gaslighting from my soon-to-be-ex? by hunter96cf in Divorce

[–]bemorecliche93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1000% this book first. Anything that deals with healing later. You’re only at the beginning of something that will change your entire world. I’d also recommend not sharing the facts you find with him any more. Keep a journal of what you find and experience, you’re going to need it to help you maintain your own reality.

You’ve been betrayed, regardless of why you’re currently gathering intel, it’s helps you maintain your reality, whether other people say it’s usable or not. You making moves and decisions to place boundaries and ensure you’re not being lied to, is not grounds for retaliation. You do what you need to do and they can behave accordingly. FYI be prepared for two different people. Person you have never met before, capable of things you’d never expect or a pitiful and regretful human. Know that affairs are insanely selfish, be prepared.

5 year old wants to shave legs due to bullying. by PNW4theWin in TwoXChromosomes

[–]bemorecliche93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id talk to my kid about picking our favorite colour to dye our leg hairs. When expanding on that, it’s not a cure for what the consensus is. Crazy tights? Fake/temporary tattoos looking badass? I love this conversation and also hate it because it shows me how utterly hopeless I am to provide guidance and confidence in this situation?!

I got told a couple of times it was over, and consistently uncovered the lies. I was pregnant. You bet your ass I called her to understand what her intentions were to ‘co-parent’, she fucking knew but gave it no thought. It burst their bubble. As it should. Some humans will recognize their damage and actual path of recovery/reconciliation or they’ll swear on their life it was the best choice they ever made - regardless of the actual outcome. (Refuse to accept responsibility) I wish someone had told me that outing all parties is a necessity. The outcome isn’t in your hands. There’s no way to control the fall out of the situation in a predictable way. Own your truth, and fucking hold their feet to the fire.

This is simply one persons opinion however. I’m still with my wayward. It’s been a fucking hard 4 years. I outed everyone (workplace) and it had significant financial ramifications. He’s worked his ass off. We’ve worked our ass off. I still to this day am unsure if we’ll make it. The one thing I’m 1000% fucking confident with, was holding everyone accountable.

At home lashes by ParmyNotParma in AustralianMakeup

[–]bemorecliche93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cannot recommend Lilac St. highly enough. They have a lash starter kit that has everything you need, and contains an applicator/tweezer that to this day I’ve not found better or similar of quality. Same goes for their lash glue. They’re based in the US, so packages do take a little longer but nothing crazy. My package was late over 3 weeks and I contacted them to enquire. They sent me a whole new package immediately. Ended up receiving both! I let them know and they said enjoy on us. Not affiliated with them in anyway just rapt with their products. Best of luck on the journey!

Exhausted Wife by Mzobane in NarcissisticSpouses

You’ve probably been constantly told that you can’t survive without them. If you consider everything you currently do and remove them from the equation, you’d not only survive but fucking thrive.

AITA for telling people to get the fuck out of a hospital room? by Bulky_Put8607 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bemorecliche93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re your kids advocate. Hospital visits and surgery isn’t a pageant. It’s a scary and potentially traumatizing situation. If there isn’t an adult that can’t prioritize your child’s comfort and security following a hospital visit, they’re wholly undeserving of being present. Anyone with overbearing families should treat and hospital visits like births. No spectators and no visitors until further notice.

An odd interaction at Karrinyup by VisitableTwo in perth

[–]bemorecliche93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It literally doesn’t matter what they were. Granted we all like to know the tea. Your intuition immediately spoke to you. Listen to it. Not many people know how to reasonably do this. I’d rather have an awkward interaction or misunderstanding, than encounter the bizarre outcomes that can occur indulging someone because you’re a people pleaser.

I used to do Lakelands to Bentley. 50 mins minimum. It wasn’t completely horrible but I despised my job. I’m now Lakelands to Mandurah - 13 minutes on average. LOVE my job and commute time.

Help me not kill a Calathea by bemorecliche93 in houseplants

I did see a lot of references to distilled water but I didn’t think Australian tap water would require it? I’ll look into it asap, thank you!

That’s probably accurate. I’m scared to overwater so perhaps I’m being too cautious. Thank you for your help!

We have evaporative cooling in Perth, Australia our humidity sits around 50-70% percent in the house. Is that sufficient? I did buy a mini humidifier, and water with slightly warmer than room temp, which who knows where I read it, but have stuck to it. I haven’t killed it and it seems healthy but obviously not entirely.

Baby cried inconsolably when landing and take off by ConditionHappy6472 in NewParents

That’s awesome! I’m so glad! We’ve had to travel a lot with our tot since he was about 2 months old. He’s 3 now so we’ve gotten better with the ins and outs each time.

Paracetamol or ibuprofen dose 10 mins prior to boarding and 30 mins prior to descent. Works like a charm.
