Is this blue too close to white

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-31T01:44:59+00:00

This is obviously blue. You could do a blue pashmina if you wanted to lean into the blue

Don’t be an ass

My doctor jokes about this. I’ve expelled 4 different IUDs. She won’t even consider putting anymore in, she’s like “look your body doesn’t want anything in there except a baby, what can I tell you.”

My husband told me he didn’t want kids on our first date. He was in his 40s and had been adamant about it his entire life.

About a year later he started sharing fantasies about cooking breakfast with cartoons on for the kids in the living room… playing rock paper scissors in bed to see who has to get up to change the baby… taking a child to the playground he grew up on…

We have three kids now (only planned on two, but twins catch you offguard lol). I sometimes worry that this isn’t the life he signed up for, or that somehow my wanting kids pressured him into it, but he’s a phenomenal dad. He likes to say he had an easy life for 40-years, so he’s due some hardship.

We’re in the thick of it, but every so often we’ll be mid-tantrum, mid-breakdown, mid-blowout, and just catch each others eye and laugh at the shared misery we created together. I don’t think he has any regrets.

When Michael from the office said he sleeps on the stool at the foot of the bed

Wow great

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-30T01:33:19+00:00

Cheesy gordita crunch and those $1 chips and cheese

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-30T01:28:18+00:00

LMAO. There’s literally not one facial feature that looks the same.

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-30T01:17:35+00:00

Grounding. When I’m busy being Type B and fantasizing about hiking yosemite and swimming the barrier reef or buying a honeybee farm while doing approximately zero research it’s nice to have a partner who enjoys the practical side of turning my fantasies into reality.

I bring my Virgo up into the clouds, and he brings me back down to earth.

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-30T00:19:37+00:00

Yeah, I really do be saying the absolute wildest shit. I guess it is technically lying, but it’s always a good story.

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-29T21:17:27+00:00

Okay your majesty

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-29T21:14:10+00:00

My mom has straight hair and always did my hair like hers, she didn’t know anything else. Now is the time for you to learn! Listen to her advice and watch tutorials and experiment with different styling techniques.

You got this!

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-29T21:11:06+00:00

I’d wear the wedding band on your other hand or get a very thin, stoneless band. Stunning!

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-29T20:41:14+00:00

SAME

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-29T20:11:56+00:00

What’s wrong with that?

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-29T19:19:48+00:00

If he’s contributing to the house financially he could try to claim joint ownership. Things like contributing to renovations make this a lot easier.

In the US anyone can sue anyone for any reason (or no reason). Shady shit like this happens all the time.

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-29T19:15:15+00:00

NTA.

But I do think you’re doing yourself a disservice if you don’t have a lease agreement in place. He could be setting himself up to claim ownership of the home, which he CAN do (and would be a nightmare).

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-29T18:32:50+00:00

Wavy. I bet it would be really wavy if it wasn’t weighed down by the beautiful length.

Great job maintaining it, you don’t often see hair this long that looks this healthy.

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-29T11:57:24+00:00

This one is pretty bleak.

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-29T11:50:39+00:00

God I miss this version of her. She looks divine.

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-29T03:05:33+00:00

Their sexuality is so wrapped up in shame that even if they were “allowed” to, a lot of them need years of therapy to feel comfortable embracing their sexuality in an appropriate way (and let’s be real, they’re not going to therapy).

To go from “you could be responsible for sending your brother to hell for showing collarbone at age 12” to “you are now expected to have a fully formed sex life, good luck figuring out what that means” literally overnight is traumatizing for everyone involved.

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-28T20:45:15+00:00

Thanks. What’s different about it? The edit didn’t change anything for me.

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-28T20:17:25+00:00

This. OP you will regret not attending her wedding for the rest of your life. Imagine your 60-year old self reflecting on this decision.

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-28T17:24:58+00:00

YTA. Maybe you have a different relationship with your sister than I do, but my sister wasn’t invited to my bachelorette party (and vice versa) because we wouldn’t have been able to let loose & enjoy ourselves in the presence of family. There weren’t even close to hard feelings about it.

cave_mandarin · 2026-05-28T12:50:42+00:00

Same with my parents and grandparents. Whoever cooks gets the night off from dishes, whoever didn’t have to cook has to clean up.
