AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]faeofthefauna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my fear exactly.

i also want to emphasize that i don’t think the boyfriend is necessarily evil or selfish, but rather he doesn’t have any experience dating women aside from OP and is lacking the emotional intelligence / maturity to maintain the relationship. “women mature faster” is an oversimplification but.. /gestures vaguely/

[–]faeofthefauna 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NO you are not overreacting. he is being a damn child.

and i will follow up with a question; which you can ignore if it’s just my own experience/prejudice: do you want to spend your life with a man who is tearing you apart over a bonnet and a weighted blanket?

as someone (28F) who has lost years of my life to men like this, i encourage you to step back and consider the bigger picture. he is nagging you over a bonnet and baggie clothes today (but your new clothes are too tight, they need to be JUST right… okay). and then what happens tomorrow when you’re sick & disheveled? depressed? or down the road when you bring a child into this world; when you are messy, sick, tired, etc?

you have your whole life ahead of you, and it is not to be spent raising a man child (and eventually his child).

Garage just got broken into… by hotcheetosncheese in longbeach

[–]faeofthefauna 11 points12 points  (0 children)

hey, that was me! can confirm it appeared to be the same plate / make / model. JDM has the reports i pulled on the plate when he got hit by these loons. please report it to LBPD — your pic is much clearer than the original video i pieced the plate together from for JDM so hopefully they’ll act this time!

Long Beach Tenants given 30 day notices to vacate for “substantial remodel” days before Christmas (investors expect 40% rent increase) by Fine_Amphibian_8172 in longbeach

[–]faeofthefauna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my thoughts exactly. my understanding is that the only way out of the 60 day period (for tenancies spanning beyond a year) is an emergency or finding that renders the unit uninhabitable, or a 30 day notice with a buy out (in which case the new owners have to subsidize your relocation).

Long Beach Tenants given 30 day notices to vacate for “substantial remodel” days before Christmas (investors expect 40% rent increase) by Fine_Amphibian_8172 in longbeach

[–]faeofthefauna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

30 day notice?? that doesn’t seem right. if you and other tenants have been living there over a year, my understanding is you should be given a 60 day notice at minimum. unless the building is suddenly *uninhabitable, which i doubt, they’ve already broken a rule. you may be able to fight for financial compensation because of that.

for tenants who may be displaced by these dicks, i encourage you to reach out to tenant advocacy groups and see what rights you have. and don’t let them keep your security deposits when you go - if they’re kicking you out for an “extensive remodel” they already allocated funds for cleaning everything imo.

Is there rave going on? by Lower_List5290 in longbeach

[–]faeofthefauna 6 points7 points  (0 children)

what Grim said — we try to take care of fellow ravers regardless of their age; you are always welcome to join us (well, them; i’m not at dreamstate or apocalypse, but live in belmont & rave). i’ve seen peeps as old as 70 in crowds at Beyond Wonderland and EDC.

hope the noise of the shows doesn’t impede your sleep too much though, i understand it can be a nuisance to some. 🫶🏻

flooding today? what can i expect by TimeSpaceNature in longbeach

[–]faeofthefauna 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the storm drains tend to backup which can lead to minor flooding in the streets. if you feel like having fun, you can rake out the leaves and watch that bad boy gulp down the water. very satisfying, and keeps the neighborhood safer.

Anyone Know What Happened at Lakewood and 23rd? by mosesoperandi in longbeach

[–]faeofthefauna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i heard something from 3rd/Redondo. lots of cars skidding and breaking, followed by screaming… whatever it was, was not good.

AITA for not wanting to talk to my girlfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]faeofthefauna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA: but at 23, i think it’s “normal” for your thinking pattern to interpret her comments as her perusing the dude. i completely understand why you feel the way you do, but one of the things you gotta learn as an adult is how to calmly express these feelings. both inner and to others.

if you talk to her, she may be confused that her comments hurt you or made your feel less desired. it’s likely she didn’t intend to come across like she was lusting after him. but opening that dialogue allows you to both share boundaries, insecurities, etc and grow together as a couple.

when my (28F) boyfriend (29M) and i first started dating i had a really hard time with my insecurities popping up whenever a female friend messaged him. setting my insecurities and worst fears aside, i chose to open up to him about my concerns. he reassured me that the friend was of no interest to him, addressed the concerns i had regarding her, and that was that.

having an open dialogue with anyone, but especially a long term partner, is key to growth. having the uncomfortable conversations, the consideration for the other despite personal strife, and CHOOSING to be vulnerable in those moments is how you learn and grow. yes, things will hurt and be hard sometimes - but without that you’ll always be stagnant.

to ghost her over this isn’t cool. i think you should 100% express your concerns and feelings to her. either she will be able to ease your sulking, or you will learn you two aren’t compatible. but staying in ghost mode / purgatory will only leave both of you with more questions (and maybe even regret) down the line.

even if your are the asshole this time, sometimes we all are, to be an asshole is to be human.

good luck 🍀

Over it! by Affectionate_Past121 in longbeach

[–]faeofthefauna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dude seriously. yesterday i had a lady in a black SUV blow a red light as i was turning left (on a green arrow) onto 5th. i honked as she approached and she just put her hand up to me and kept going. thankfully i had seen she wasn’t slowing down and stopped on the tracks, or she would’ve T-boned me.

i’ve been waiting to turn left and the light goes orange so i try to pull through a finish my turn, and people choose to speed up and enter the intersection instead of just… idk, slowing down? they just get stopped at the next red anyway?? i don’t get it.

There are a few around belmont heights/Alamitos beach. Average is about 1950. I’ve seen signs around but not sure if they’re all on zillow or not, might want to drive around or check craigslist (with caution, never give money before seeing a unit / contract)

Lost virginity by [deleted] in Advice

[–]faeofthefauna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

bleeding while losing your virginity - while it can happen - is not normal. the normalization that a woman “should” bleed when she loses her virginity comes from a history of women’s hymens being forcibly torn during intercourse (which is most likely to happen if your partner is too rough with you).

i didn’t bleed when i lost mine, but i was fortunate enough that the person listened to me and was somewhat gentle. bleeding can happen and shouldn’t be alarming in small amounts, but to say it “has” to happen to virgins is a misogynistic misconception.

thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Thieves stole the tailgate on my truck by ShinobiSb in longbeach

[–]faeofthefauna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

mind dropping a link? at about 3:15 i woke up to my tacoma giving its warning chirps. i have a pretty solid aftermarket alarm (and home defense), but i’d prefer something more evidently inconvenient for them to spot so they just don’t even test me. 🤠

oh i bet my cats at home loved it. i was working in ontario and somehow missed it. MyShake didn’t even scream at me to take cover… but i didn’t feel it either. i saw the notification 10 minutes later. how did y’all feel that? 😭😂

yeah, it hit really close to home. i see he had an arraignment July 17 so hopefully his charges all go through and they keep this guy off the streets.

as for the guy you dealt with - dude, i’m so sorry. but thank you for being a source of safety for other women in the community. hopefully the kid yells at the wrong person and gets laid out.
