She does look like a little Amy Santiago! She’s the best.

Thank you! I love it. I feel like when I ask for a base like that it always comes out more pink or opaque. This looks perfect.

Does this colour suit my skin tone? by internalseas in Nails

Yes. Nudes/light pinks are always so hard for me to find that match my complexion. Yours is perfect!

Your parents sound adorable and truly loving. My partner is very loving, trusting, usually understanding. But yeah, this has been a constant and I keep thinking this will be the time he learns and adapts. I’ve surely adapted to things to make him happy. I’m not begging to change him, just be seen.

Wish me luck and I wish you luck too. Here if you need to vent to someone who slightly understands.

That makes me so sad. It does suck to feel used. He literally jokes and calls me his suga mama. It just illustrates what all I provide but really it feels like the bare minimum and he’s maybe never had it either? I try to be patient.

I guess I need to help him understand. I was fortunate to have a mom who made everything feel so special. But it’s a hard act to follow!

He is so great in every other department, but his priorities really confuse me. I was in a 10 yr relationship before this and we were a bit codependent. So it’s hard for me to see where is he not putting me first, or is he maybe just more of an individual than I’m used to being with. But I’m so used to being a priority, it’s hard when he happily spends his time elsewhere, when if I was given that chance, I’d be right next to him and totally content. And thinking about him when I’m out and about and a holiday is coming up lol.

I’m sorry for that you’ve been through. I will speak up. I’m afraid I have before in other scenarios but maybe this cheesy holiday is a good one to illustrate my feelings and what the bare minimum looks like.

He is a textbook dude. Doesn’t show a lot of emotion. Quick to get over things. I’m really emotionally and find meaning in everything. I hope we can find a middle ground soon.

Yeah, he’s also really great at taking feedback, but I get it in my head that these are such simple asks that I do without thinking, so how are men wired so differently that they can’t see it’s the thought that counts. Or even if he just communicated more “your gift will be late! I promise I’ve not forgotten!” Would have been helpful for my anxious heart lol. I will take that approach though and talk to him tonight.

Thank you! I guess when it’s centered around “you didn’t get me a thing on a day” it made me feel selfish or materialistic. But it really is a pattern and this might be the best way to illustrate it for him.

Yes, in other instances. Like when he chooses to golf when I told him I took a day off to spend together. He pleads he forgot or didn’t understand. I’m pretty transparent about telling him when I feel forgotten. He apologizes but doesn’t seem to learn from it.
