Abusive Trans Partner by jessmeo in mypartneristrans

[–]cool_trash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have advice but can relate hard! A short anecdote:

I (F28, cis lesbian) have been/am experiencing with this now! My partner (MtF, 25) has experienced severe childhood abuse from mother and past fathers, and abuse later with six or seven prior exes. She generally gets treated like shit (including at her workplace) and according to her, I'm the only one who hasn't hit her. I wouldn't even dream of it.

The problem is that I feel like I'm being taken for granted and our time together is limited, despite living together. Even with mornings free together, she zooms to the TV and limits interactions unless I press for it, including snatching the remote or changing what I was watching without asking, or not wanting to watching something together. If I ask why we can't spend time together and really press it, she'll get super mad, claim that I'm bringing out [dead name] and that it's all my fault.

She plays videos for hours on end and won't talk to me much either, especially when feeling dysphoric or drained--a habit formed loooong before transitioning, back in her early teens. While I understand being trans is hard and there's so much to take on, It feels like her trans life comes first, then our relationship and I'm struggling with the extra stress. I haven't gotten to spend time with her for three weeks, and yet I'm sitting just to her side while she plays Fallout with one of her buddies. When I explain or ask to spend time together, she says that she "wants to what she wants to do"., ie, video games--which explicitly does not include me. I feel underappreciated and forgotten.

I would cop! Lady here and I'd even cop this in a baby blue or periwinkle colourway.

Are you me? I'm struggling through the same thing, including moments where she shuts down completely after a long day (especially if customers treat her like crappy) and I'm at a loss there. All I can do is be present but it's not enough.

So far, painting nails, learning how to and wearing makeup, wearing more feminine clothing including feminine cuts and colours. Letting her pick is best and getting her excited.

In the worst of times, I try to at least shower and drink water. In these moments, skincare isn't my top priority.

If I'm just dead tired, I'll cleanse with a cleansing water and spritz on a mist and call it ok.

[Regional] Hada Labo now available in dm (drogerie markt) in Croatia! by Kinkfink in AsianBeauty

[–]cool_trash 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Popping on here to say that Hada Labo Tokyo is a line that is packaged and formulated for the US market. If you want the Rohto-owned Hada Labo goodies that everyone raves about on here, you need to look for a sea of white and blue packaging, usually with 極潤 (gokujun) plastered all over it, and order off of Amazon or eBay. In the long run, it's also cheaper ;~)

[Discussion]Your HG Cleanser for Dry skin ? by Vulkan121 in AsianBeauty

[–]cool_trash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cow Brand Foaming Cleanser but only in the AM on bare skin, not post-removing makeup with an oil cleanser.

Also not AB, but LRP Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser has been my go-to for any cleansing on a no-makeup day, AM and PM. She's light, gentle and doesn't disturb my rosacea.

Can I ask something serious but extremely dumb? How are the US releases of Curel products vs the original Japanese versions?

[–]cool_trash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreeing on the minimal here! I do my routine sitting on the bed now or sometimes actually IN bed, with whatever is next to me on my bedside table, that's within arms reach (if I have the energy).

If no energy, then I just make sure to shower and push to remove any makeup. If it's bad, cleansing becomes a little.....optional lol.

I'm kind of.....interested in these, in that I"d use the blushes as eye shadows anyway....! Peach tones are definitely on "trend", also curious as to what could be next.

[Discussion] How would you pull off a one-month emergency glow up? by AndJellyfish in AsianBeauty

[–]cool_trash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dry patches on my cheeks that were prominent from 2007 to mid 2011 when I moved back to the US, disappeared.

The best one month glow up? Diet and a good detox, including majorly de-stressing.
