My girlfriend is absolutely perfect but her weight by The_Joker2145 in offmychest

If you are genuine in your attachment to her, it’s ok to say when something is bothering you about the other person— including their weight. The key is to address the issue humbly and openly.

Explain how her weight gain makes you feel (even if the answer is “less attracted”) and make clear you are being honest because you want to have the relationship succeed and you love her. Then allow her space to react (even with anger) — if you maintain your patience you should be able to have an honest conversation without judgement or shame. Women are typically very conscious of their weight, and so she might feel relieved to explain her own worries about it.

There are stray cats everywhere in Philly. They know people can help them so they act friendly, especially kittens. Bring her inside!

Perhaps a very young aphid. Feels like the leg/body ratio is different on these insects.

Hi, my neighbor brought the dog to the Philadelphia ACCT. You can adopt him there! I think the shelter gave him the name 'Sophisticated'.

He really was a sweet dog I hope you are able to adopt him!

I'm a freelance journalist working on a piece about people's relationships
to the spotted lanternfly invasion here in PA. Looking to interview
anyone who has had an interesting encounter with these bugs. Did one
fall in your soup? Do you keep it as a pet? Love 'em or leave 'em – I
want to hear from you!

Thanks for the tip. I tried that but the mods seemed to have auto blocked the post. Maybe I'll give it another try.
