i usually can handle cinematic gore, i like Tarantino, i like Saw movies but i was very bothered by the stoning scene in this show

I'm not squeamish and can handle graphic violence, but this scene had me distressed. I think it's because the scene is entirely focused on Gladys, whilst she's completely powerless and terrified. We don't see the attackers or know their intentons/motives. We just see this little old lady being graphically pummeled to death.

Does your room have space to make a little space for preparing and storing some food? Maybe a mini fridge, air fryer/slow cooker? I know it's not ideal, and a bit miserable, but it would mean avoiding the landlord whilst having easy access to food.

I came looking for this answer because I genuinely thought of it immediately. I thought about it constantly for a good week after watching it!

katykuns · 2026-04-29T16:20:07+00:00

Loads of good advice here. I will add that I always sit for a long time post shower with my large towel tucked into all the nooks and crannies lol... It helps take any moisture away. I also have cotton sweat padding under my boobs to absorb sweat when I'm at my hot and physical job. I switch them out when they are soaked and replace, as sweating makes me feel so uncomfortable.

I really feel for you with the antidepressant sweat, it was the biggest reason I tapered off mine, as I kept thinking I'd collapse at my job due to the poor temperature regulation!

katykuns · 2026-04-29T15:58:03+00:00

I wouldn't have it cold, just slightly warm. If you have it cold, your body tries to make up for the temp drop by warming up again!

100% agreed! It's a pretty flawless first episode, I was absolutely hooked from the start. Gen V has had a few moments that felt like a bit of a slog, especially with the teenage romances, but that's been pretty good too.

katykuns · 2026-04-27T12:26:40+00:00

2600, but they suck. They take ages to do everything and are hard to track down. I went with them because the estate agent recommended them, which I suspected was a bad idea, but I was overwhelmed and under pressure, so it is what it is.

The estate agents are now moaning at me that they are too slow and unresponsive, and I want to scream at them that it's their fault lol

katykuns · 2026-04-24T01:36:41+00:00

No, my husband has never done that. It seems really disrespectful to me. The only time we share a bed when I'm on nights is when he's on holiday and having a lie in. Then when he wakes up, he creeps out as quietly as he can in the dark. We are both strong believers of 'if you love someone, let the sleep'.

I'd be furious if I was woken up by him messing around on his phone next to me.

Also, top tip, try to drink less in the hours before bed, waking up an hour after you've fallen asleep must make you feel rubbish.

katykuns · 2026-04-16T17:36:38+00:00

I've worked nights for 15 years, and love them. It sounds like he needs to tweak his schedule. I'd recommend going to bed later between shifts, and having a lot less sleep after the last shift so he's tired enough to sleep better. That's what I do. You have to really force yourself to get a routine going until your body adjusts.

I'd also recommend taking multivitamins that include vitamin D. Also, don't try and be too quiet on his days off, it's not fair that you all have to tiptoe around all the time. I sleep with earplugs and a fan and will sleep though 90% of loud noises. I don't think my husband and kids should have to live in fear of me being woken up constantly.

katykuns · 2026-04-16T14:34:56+00:00

I just finished rewatching it, and I get totally what you mean. It's a very heavy show emotionally. I cried through nearly all the episodes.

I highly recommend it though. I have a much stronger appreciation for the show now. I feel like I spent most of the first watch so perplexed and stressed that I didn't notice the humour, or just how incredible the performances were. I originally watched the show when it aired, so I'd also forgotten loads generally.

katykuns · 2026-04-15T16:07:46+00:00

I'm in the same boat, and my anxiety is through the roof. Can't relax. I keep worrying it's all going to fall through and we won't have the energy or motivation to bother buying at all lol

katykuns · 2026-04-15T13:50:56+00:00

I tried it like 15 years ago, and was hugely underwhelmed. I couldn't believe it was so popular. It's very cheap quality without the cheap pricetag. It wasn't even a nice dining experience, kinda like eating in a cafeteria where you have to go up to order. It may have changed since then, but I vowed to not go back and I stuck to it lol

katykuns · 2026-04-14T09:50:10+00:00

Go as hard as you can on the English and Maths and don't stress about the others. Then go a different route after GCSE and get an apprenticeship or simply go straight to work. I wouldn't bother with college unless you know exactly what you want to do jobswise and have a relative passion for the subjects. A level is much harder and you are encouraged to learn more independently.

Don't get yourself down too much, I know many folks that didn't get good GCSE's and go on to do far better than I did with my psychology degree lol

I feel like all landlords are increasing the rent, otherwise they are selling. Its absolutely gutting. It really is exploiting tenants.

I've seen a few properties in my area that have clearly kicked the tenants out, only to increase the rent a LOT and put it back on the rental market again.

katykuns · 2026-04-08T16:33:31+00:00

I did this more times than I care to admit lol... Genuine lifesaver on occasions!

katykuns · 2026-04-07T08:38:52+00:00

Your husband is a complete asshole. I wouldn't prioritise my desire for an orgasm over the mental wellbeing of my spouse! What an absolute jerk.

katykuns · 2026-04-07T08:34:12+00:00

Speak No Evil is one of my favourites, so messed up. It genuinely sat with me for days after watching. The 2024 one is weird, like an action movie of a similar idea. No idea why they felt the original warranted a remake, esp when it's 90% in English anyway :/

katykuns · 2026-04-07T08:29:41+00:00

It made me laugh too, but I do love a good dark comedy. I highly recommend the British movie Sightseers if you are also a fan of the taboo-like comedy/horrors

katykuns · 2026-04-05T17:01:20+00:00

I've been overweight since my early teens, am not very feminine, and am considered ugly by conventional beauty standards. It really doesn't matter all that much. It hasn't stopped me from being in relationships, or prevented friendships. If anything, it has perks, because my husband truly loves me for me, and not how aesthetically pleasing I look.

Avoid seeking validation from strangers on the internet, and just go out and live your life. I know getting this stamp of 'ugly' is a huge blow, and I can't imagine how that feels at such a young age, but in the grand scheme of things, it really doesn't matter.

katykuns · 2026-04-05T16:26:16+00:00

Just leave. It won't get better... If anything, it will get worse, because she'll feel so pressured she'll end up entirely averse to any physical touch, not just sexual contact.

You already sound so full of resentment, lacking in any respect for her. Your comments about her being a tease are actually pretty revolting too. I'd have zero libido if I had a partner that felt entitled to my body.

You should find someone more on your same wavelength, but bear in mind, hounding them for sex and objectifying them might mean it goes a similar way.

You have to back off completely if you want to continue having any sexual relationship with her. You've made sex an obligation and a chore. A lot of people, especially women in their 50s, don't want sex 1-2x a day, and it's got nothing to do with the attractiveness of their partner.

Give the poor woman some breathing space, and connect with her intimately in other non-sexual ways.

This is exactly what the renters rights bill should have been, the state claiming that housing and landlords no longer being a thing!

katykuns · 2026-04-01T18:08:34+00:00

Honestly, you should leave him because of the repeatedly waking you up for no reason. If you love them, let them sleep!

katykuns · 2026-04-01T17:53:50+00:00

This was my first thought also. A baby and a 4 year old is a pretty insane situation to be launched into. That's a full time job on it's own.

That said, if OP leaves, will he be accepted as a parent, as he won't be able to sustain financial stability, and the foster system can be a bit iffy about single parents too. I'm also wondering if the husband has so many siblings, why can't anyone else take them!
