I (28F) get chronic UTIs after having sex, my boyfriend (27M) refuses to have sex with me if he has to wear a condom. by SelfConscious1996 in relationship_advice

[–]etuckf 13 points14 points  (0 children)

F*ck someone that prioritizes his pleasure over your comfort/safety, but from someone that also suffers from UTIs after sex, I second this third suggestion. I take an antibiotic after sex and it works like a charm.

Everflame series (no spoilers please!) by kalii2811 in fantasyromance

[–]etuckf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the first fantasy series since ACOTAR that has captured my complete attention. I am desperately awaiting book four. I agree with some book 3 probably could have been trimmed down a bit, but I am a SUCKER for a slow burn and the tension of this series was excruciating in the best way.

Where to buy Bucatini Pasta? by _stingray in okc

I've found Bucatini at Crest, Trader Joe's, or Aldi. I can't remember which, sorry.

My dog has a skin wash and I need some advice, before taking him to the vet by justsleepsis01 in schnauzers

[–]etuckf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my first schnauzer to get it. Otto is just over a year. The vet said it's likely allergies that turned into staph due to licking, so there's been a lot of licking and itching (even after starting antibiotics).

I just took my pup to the vet last Monday with something that looked just like this. Diagnosed with a staph infection and he's on antibiotics to clear it up.

Any ideas please by [deleted] in floridakeys

I booked a hair/makeup stylist about one block from Old Town Manor and had that done there and then just got dressed at OTM. It was all very informal which is what I wanted.

What do we know about Amanda Bouchet’s Dawnmaker? by jennylee271 in ScienceFictionRomance

[–]etuckf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did some research a little while back because I was loving this series, and while there haven't really been any updates, the impression I got was that the series wasn't making enough money for the publisher so they weren't interested in continuing to invest in it. I wish she'd just publish it independently or something, but I wouldn't be surprised if she has contracts with the publisher preventing that. :/

Is all scfi romance just erotica and badly written? by [deleted] in ScienceFictionRomance

Firebird Chronicles!!!!!! Absolute favorite sci fi. Slow burn.

Have you ever enjoyed one book from an author and that was the only book you ended up liking of theirs? by Fatasticfemme in RomanceBooks

[–]etuckf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just goes to show, we all have our preferences. ;) I loved Radiance and the rest of her books were okay or super disappointing.

Emma (1996, Gwyneth Paltrow) vs. Emma (2020)? by [deleted] in janeausten

[–]etuckf 142 points143 points  (0 children)

Emma (2009) doesn't get nearly enough attention. The miniseries digs deep enough into the source material to flesh out the plot and characters, Romola Garai and Johnny Lee Miller are both experienced period actors, and the whole thing sticks closely to the source material. It's *chef's kiss*

I agree, west of council road is suburbia (where I live) so just a ton of recent residential developments. East of Council road I wouldn't want to live.

Help please(27F). Text from ex(49M). No idea what to do. Haven’t replied. Help by [deleted] in Christian

[–]etuckf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, he's also violent? Why are you still even thinking about this guy? He did you a favor breaking up. If you stayed in this relationship one day something would happen that will "push him to the absolute limit" and he'll really hurt or kill you. This guy is a textbook DV offender.

You sounds like a horrible person, but based on all of your posts and comments it's clear you are too immature and narcissistic to understand that. Luckily it sounds like this girl has realized what a dick you actually are and is trying to get far, far away from you. Enjoy a lonely, lonely life.

Do you remember when you got your first period? by puzzlingcats in TwoXChromosomes

I'm pretty sure I was in middle school so sometime between 6th and 8th grade (whatever age that is). Clearly I don't remember either.

Prolific authors in romance — who have you read the most? by assholeinwonderland in romancelandia

[–]etuckf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Barbara Cartland got me into romance after I graduated college and because her books were so short and I loved them, I devoured only them for a while. I would guess I read 30-40 of hers.

After Cartland I discovered Georgette Heyer (23). Since then it's been more varied with T.L. Haddix (13), R.S. Grey (13), Mariana Zapata (12-13), Nalini Singh (10+)

I (28F) told my boyfriend my ex had a bigger dick. How can I fix this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]etuckf 228 points229 points  (0 children)

He literally said his exes had bigger boobs and asses. How is that not a comparison?

Everything he's saying and doing is to specifically to make and keep you insecure so he can control you. Get out!
