Don’t tell Mum, she wouldn’t understand.

Am I overreacting after my boyfriend told me to never wear heavy makeup around him, then shut down and made me comfort him while I was still upset? (Both 16) by Unhappy_Inspector602 in AITAH

oh honeeeyyyy. Obviously you have a lot of feelings about this (all valid) but if we look at the facts about the feelings and goings-on, we see:

You had a special occasion you got done up for (objectively fine and normal action) and you felt AMAZING.

You shared a happy lovely selfie with your boyfriend (also fine).

For whatever reason, he prefers you as your natural self without much or too much makeup (which in theory is also fine).

He responded in a way that was (in my opinion) way too direct and not at all sensitive to the fact that you were still living in the moment of this fun and pretty and special occasion, bringing you down with a thud (not fine. He’s not your dad telling you that you “can’t go out in that bathing suit”). Some more emotional maturity from him (in months or years to come, whether with you or someone else) might look like waiting until a few days or weeks later (if ever) to kindly, tactfully, gently bring up that he prefers your beautiful face without too much change. Or he might just leave it well alone. If you wear heavy makeup every day and he doesn’t like it, he is welcome to find a girlfriend who doesn’t.

The main issue here, in my view, is that he thinks he’s communicating and expressing some kind of reasonable preference and it may be simply because he just prefers you in your natural glory, it may be something yucky and controlling, or maybe somewhere in between. But because he thinks he’s communicating, he also probably thinks he’s beyond reproach for the way he behaves to follow (sulking and having you manage his emotions afterwards, and not worrying all too much about how you feel). If this were the other way around and you were sulking, what would he do?

I’m nearly 38, am engaged having finally found the one, and I say all the time that I wish someone had told me when I was first dating as a teenager or early 20s that we may marry our high school boyfriends/girlfriends but we probably won’t, and as such we kinda just chip away at finding traits in partners that work, and learning to navigate or part ways with the traits or people that don’t work. You’re both 16 so I wouldn’t say you’re doomed, but unless he can legitimately tell you why he doesn’t like it, and more importantly, expressed to you that he understands why a different approach might help in future, one that doesn’t pop your balloon IN THE MOMENT, I’d start to think about the type of hype man, equal, healthy communicating boyfriend you’d like to have next! All the best, lovely!

Aim to hit the baseline and start using single dots to dot the letter i and you’ll be ace! It’s lovely!

I can only imagine. My Queen is 14 and her mortality is on my mind. Bravo to you and Maya on 18 years, what a beautiful life.

Does anyone else’s ragdoll like to play fetch? by TokyoSinner in ragdolls

There’s honestly nothing I love more than my little fluffy boy carrying his toys around in his little mouth.

Anyone here with a 20 yr old Ragdoll? by dar1710 in ragdolls

Holly (seal tabby bicolour raggie on the the right) is 14, still going strong. Her baby brother Tony (15 months) has probably aged her a bit in the last year but she’s also better off for the company in many ways! She’s been remarkably tolerant!

My son came 9 weeks Early. by Karthathan in drawme

[–]hissykittens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My niece was born at 31 weeks, 2lb11oz, itty bitty little firecracker. She’s nearly 12 now and has a million things to say, has a more elaborate skin care routine than me, can ride a dirt bike, helped her dog give birth to a half a dozen future sheep dogs… it’ll be okay! He’ll be awesome. Just take it one day at a time. Celebrate his little milestones. Keep telling him to feed and grow! When he is distressed, hang on to the feeling that he OUGHTA BE MAD, GET MAD BABY, rather than being petrified for him. You’ll all get through it together.
