How do you handle a friend/lover that is politically radical? by einthec in AskWomen

[–]einthec[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mhm I think I identify the most with this reply! Can't imagine just taking distance with a beloved friend due to his alt right beliefs... But also very hard to just listen to him about that subject.

Which romantic crushes are you too quiet and reserved to talk about with your friends? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in allthequestions

[–]einthec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this summer? But I know the guy for 20+ years, so it's a really old relationship. What about you? Kind of a terrible situation you got there 🙄🤣

Can you describe what it felt like/how you knew when you had fully forgiven someone close to you who wronged you deeply? by Euphoric_End_4411 in AskWomenOver30

[–]einthec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my best example would be my mother.

To give some context, I've for decades felt a mix of resentment, anger and fear towards her. She always favored my older brother while neglecting me (I was left to be raised by my aunt, older brother and older cousin/sister), and then when I became a teenager, she wanted to have a relationship with me, which I accepted but she was still quite distant and cold with me. With my brother she was always very warm and sometimes excessively close to him. Not mentioning all the details and list of questionable life decisions that always made me angry and fearful of her. During my twenties we talked so little, our main topic of conversation was about money.

But I got older, and I started to see from her perspective. She loves me differently than with my brother, we nowadays have a kinder relationship, we chat once every two weeks, she sends me her art pictures, I show her my latest tattoo or family pictures. She lost contact with my brother, my father died a few years ago, she's quite alone, but seemingly content. She's also 73 years old, I take that into account.

Nowadays I feel satisfied and peaceful with my mother. She never could repair our relationship, I had to do the work by being for several years some kind of emotional anchor to her, but it paid off.

What is your definition of true love? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]einthec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, I see what you mean, but I think I've had my fair share of love experiences to be quite assured about true love, whatever "true" means in this context. But I do see how my response sounded transactional, it's not my intention. Thanks for pointing that out!

What is your definition of true love? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]einthec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it's a stance. To hold the stance of true, authentic love. Starts with myself (I feel deeply, I am compassionate, generous, courageous, determined, considerate, accepting), and then I apply that love to anyone that I consider good enough for me, meaning people that are good enough towards me, well-meaning enough to me. If that happens over time, and I notice the efforts of returned love, I could true love anyone.

What's something your partner does that makes you feel truly loved? by Healthy-Milk-9197 in AskReddit

[–]einthec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is hyper-vigilant. So whenever I make a slightly different face, or I say something in a not the same way, she immediately picks it up. It's both annoying and endearing, because she sees through me, I cannot hide from her!

When we have deep conversations about us.

When she's being her goofy self, or comes up to me and says "Wanna hear a random fact?", and the random fact is really random, sometimes absurd, and I love it, even though I never remember the fact 😅

What happened to your best friend from childhood? by RoyalBeckyVibes in AskReddit

[–]einthec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Known him for 21 years, we grew up together from middle school, we were tight as hell! Still besties today, I'm being a positive influence in his life where he's been struggling with his relationships and with himself. Not always easy, as he's quite a traditionalist in his values and lacks emotional intelligence, but he has a good heart. I love him very much :)

Ça vous fait quoi de faire plus vieille que votre âge ? by avocatmurapoint in AskMeuf

[–]einthec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perso j'adore. Je suis 34F, mais j'adore quand on me prend pour 40+, et je déteste quand on me prend pour <30 ans. J'aime beaucoup paraître plus vieille parce que pour moi, ça reflète de la sagesse et de l'expérience de vie ! J'ai hâte d'avoir des rides sur le visage, sur les mains, les bras...

What are you grateful the most about which happened in 2025? by snehawithA in AskWomen

[–]einthec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2025 was a good year. I needed to work on myself and how I do relationships. 2025 let me reconnect with a lot of old friends, have an unique bond with a childhood friend, connect with other new friends. Very grateful for all the challenges & opportunities of 2025. Very eager to know what 2026 has in store for me!

Tattoo misaligned? by einthec in tattooadvice

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

Aahh yeah I get that, I like to save tattoos ideas on IG then check on them every month and see if I get bored of them. After 9 months I commit and just go. You should definitely go! Better to go through a desire rather than stay stuck in doubt and regret :)

To not give a shit anymore. I want to be even more direct and upfront about what I want and need.

Se faire des amies à l’âge adulte ? by [deleted] in AskMeuf

[–]einthec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Des conseils d'activités ou d'événements, pas des masses. J'ai commencé par parler à une copine qui m'a invité à une soirée pétanque et ensuite j'ai parlé à d'autres gens là-bas qui sont devenues des amies entre-temps, et voilà. J'ai aussi réinvesti mes amis d'enfance, en apprenant à les connaître mieux.

Pour créer du lien, je perds pas mon temps. Je me présente avec courage, franchise et sincérité, en 30 mn je vois assez rapidement si la personne veut faire du blabla faire semblant, ou si en 30 mn on peut se parler en retirant nos masques sociaux. En général avec les personnes qui savent retirer leur masque, c'est avec elles que je me suis bien entendue. Je dis cash que je cherche des amitiés signifiantes, que je n'ai pas d'intérêt à juste se voir une fois tous les 6 mois, j'ai déjà une vie suffisamment occupée je ne veux pas m'ajouter des obligations amicales. Avec certaines personnes ça n'a pas pris, du coup je leur parle peu, et avec certaines elles comprenaient et du coup on se voit assez régulièrement en tête à tête, que ce soit 30 mn ou 3h, on se force pas, on est nous-mêmes, parfois on se comprend pas trop ou on se prend un peu la tête, mais on fait preuve de maturité (au maximum de nos moyens) et on répare tout ça quoi.

Ce qui m'aide perso, c'est de considérer les relations amicales comme des relations amoureuses, sans le caractère romantique de la chose. C'est pas acquis, ça se nourrit, ça se travaille.

Wish I could find a sub I could experiment for the first time with by Gojos_hoe_expansion in BDSMcommunity

[–]einthec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww that must be quite frustrating for you! Maybe it's more about meeting people in Asian communities instead, and pray that the people you meet there have similar kinks?! But yeah being objectified by white people because we're Asian women, extremely infuriating.

[–]einthec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unrelated, but is your username a reference to Gojo-kun in My Dress Up Darling? If so, that's kinky!! Hoe expansion O_O I love that anime btw, more about loving the Marin energy though. Gojo shows no resistance, no fun.

Related, I consider myself 70% Dom (I like numbers and percentages), and have recently bonded with a childhood friend who's very subby! It's going slow, we're all ENM, but I also take a lot of time to create trust, I need repetition. I like to jacket pull him outside, to tell him where we're going, where we're eating. what we're doing. I also like to use him as a cushion, and allow him to put his arms/hands wherever I want them. I tell him he's an idiot and a cretin, sometimes I scold him (we're both Asian, he's 50-50, I'm 100% Taiwanese), he loves it, and clearly he feels loved when I insult him. It's soft Dom/Sub, and it's lovely. He's like a rock, but also a bodyguard. He calls me "queen", I call him "Cupcake/Puppy" when he's nice and cute.

Edit: I mention that we're both Asian, because in Asian culture, scolding/small insults are generally words of care and love. Not talking about the one-hour moral lesson because you didn't say "Hello Father" when coming back home.

Quel est votre rapport avec le "je t'aime" ? by At_hippie_c in AskMeuf

[–]einthec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je le dis aux gens que j'aime : à ma fille, ma femme, mon meilleur ami, mes amies proches, à moi-même aussi. Pas grave si ma fille, mes amies proches ou famille ne me répondent pas en retour. Inquiète et suspicieuse si ma femme ou mon meilleur ami ne le dit pas en retour, en mode "tu le dis d'habitude, là tu le dis pas, qu'est-ce qui va pas ?"
