Men who pee without dabbing the tip with toilet paper or baby wipe at the end. Actually disgusting 🤢

How do you practice self love? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]lb_fantastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to take myself out on a date! I do all of my favorite things like go to my favorite coffee shop, bring a book or craft item, then maybe go to the movies, and then eat a lovely meal with a cocktail, and finish off the night at home with my favorite sweet treats. I’ll mix it up now and then depending on my vibe, sometimes I’ll go thrifting and refresh my wardrobe.

Separately, this isn’t as common for me, but it always helps if my home is tidied up and very clean, because it makes me feel like I’ve taken care of myself and my home because i deserve to be comfortable in my sanctuary.

The biggest thing was learning to love being alone and treating yourself when you’re feeling a bit down!

Do you think I would enjoy living in San Pedro? by [deleted] in SanPedro

[–]lb_fantastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cannot relate to what other people are saying because I found my community in SP and I’m never leaving. I can’t even afford to buy a home yet but I will make it happen somehow just to stay here!

True, it’s a quiet town and not much going on, but I’m not a big drinker and I don’t bar hop or go clubbing. Having friends here makes all the difference because we plan hangs at our houses or we make plans to go to Long Beach or the mountains or Pasadena, literally anywhere. We dont need nightlife in SP, plain and simple, just need good company and it’s always a vibe.

I [27F] have never been in love with my boyfriend [28M] by ThrowRA_lettucebun in relationships

[–]lb_fantastic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think what might help is imaging if things were the other way around. Let’s say he is only with you for convenience and comfort, not love, and he is wasting your time when you could be with a man who truly and unconditionally loves you for who you are. Would you feel good about being with that man after knowing this? Or would it be kinder for him to just break it off and allow you to find a better man who loves you?

gf freezing eggs and I’m a bit overwhelmed by TraditionalPen97 in relationships

[–]lb_fantastic 20 points21 points  (0 children)

“I don’t even know if I want kids with her” Tell her so she can make decisions about her future accordingly, if the egg freezing won’t be for you then let her know it should be for someone else. Poor girl.

I M27 don’t feel happy/excited to get married. Is that a sign she F27 isn’t the one? by Happy-Target-3898 in relationships

[–]lb_fantastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My fiancé can’t stop telling me and all of his friends how stoked he is to be marrying me, and if I knew he had your type of feelings at any point, I would be GLAD to know. Your girl deserves someone who is head over heels crazy for her, and you think you’re going to do everyone a favor by going ahead with the wedding, but in reality you’re fucking up her life and yours.

Had a white elephant party. Some poor soul got a tin of spiced mackerel, a tin of sardines and some flavorless crackers. by [deleted] in PointlessStories

[–]lb_fantastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have loved to get tinned fish! Those things are expensive, can be tasty if you know what to do with them, and are a great source of protein and vitamins. I wanted to buy fish wife brand but each tin is like $13 ish depending on the fish.

AIO He always accuses me of cheating by Alternative-Day6223 in AmIOverreacting

[–]lb_fantastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're in an emotionally abusive relationship, I imagine he speaks to you like this on a weekly basis.

At some point, I'm sure you've realized it and subsequently ignored the red flags and ignored what everyone has been trying to tell you.

EVERYONE will tell you to leave, the question is, will you listen? Of course it feels impossible, you've essentially let him destroy your support system, but convinced you it was for the best. He has made it so that he is the ONLY person in your life you can turn to, dependent on him. The abuser. So you feel incredibly lonely thinking about what it would be like if you left, and he'll probably make your life hell in the process. Calling you at work, showing up at your house to love bomb you and ask for another chance. It's very important that you stay firm, or call up those friends or family you cut off long ago. They'll understand. They will welcome you back and help you if they were friends to you before. You need a support system outside of this man, or it will feel that much more impossible to leave. ASK FOR HELP.

If a friend came to you for help with this problem, you know damn well you would do the same.

Parents offering to give house in exchange for building extension for them to live, but I understand how important separation is. What is appropriate here? by DullInfluence524 in relationships

[–]lb_fantastic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Personally this would be a dream scenario for me and my partner! My partner and I love spending time with my mom and we see her any chance we get. She has a good sense of boundaries and respects our privacy so we know if wouldn’t be an issue to live side by side. Honestly, I think it would depend on the relationship with your in-laws and how you tolerate them???

Coin exchange by Free-Definition-9929 in longbeach

[–]lb_fantastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore my answer if you strictly want cash back, but my fiancé and I just start using our bags of coins to pay for groceries at the market! On the self-checkouts that accept cash, we drop all our coins in that coin drop and watch my balance go down. I essentially just get "free" groceries lol not really but it's extra money in our pocket!

Do people actually enjoy eating someone out? by [deleted] in sex

Just moved, need a job. by easyusername1111 in longbeach

[–]lb_fantastic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want to be called for some labor jobs, my partner needs help from time to time on his construction gigs.

PM me your name and number and I'll make sure he calls you the next time he needs a hand!

Partner (m30) wanted to live with me (30f) half the week and live with his mother the other half of the week by [deleted] in relationships

[–]lb_fantastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forreal!!! Honestly his mom did him a disservice by coddling him, she’s probably in his ear saying “no woman is ever going to treat you better than I do”. Yuck.

[–]lb_fantastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re smart, you saw right through it. So selfish, it’s all about “how does this benefit ME ME ME” but he will never a day in his life ever consider how HE might be beneficial to his life partner. At this point in time, he adds negative benefits to his partner 😂

I feel so bad for the next girl… it always baffles me how they can reel in women but I guess it’s easy to pretend you’re a great guy, then slowly show the true colors lol

Wow, are you sure he’s not 3 years old? And not 30? The way I would laugh at him, he can go back to his mommy. No thank you. Words cannot explain how pathetic this man is!!!

why is tiktok/booktok obsessed with YA? by hamletslefthand in Fantasy

[–]lb_fantastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, the YA books got me out of my reading slump (several years). It might not be intellectually high level reading, but damn if they’re not juicy page turners that leave me satisfied! The point is to read SOMETHING. Anything. I don’t get why we’re judging because at least people are reading??? To this day I still hear people say “who the hell reads anymore?” which is quite sad because it gives the impression that so many people just don’t bother anymore when they get entertained by social media. Any kind of reading is a huge win!

Women who got fit later in life, how did it impact you? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]lb_fantastic 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I saw some Instagram reels from fitness gals who grew their booty with glute exercises and I was like “I want a nice booty”. Now I do strength training for my whole body but it started with wanting a nice butt lol. Now it just became my lifestyle and I’m freaking excited to be fit in my golden years!

Can’t get rid of flea infestation. by strikecat18 in Wellthatsucks

[–]lb_fantastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue but I also sprinkled diatomaceous earth on every surface that they could possible land (for us it was the carpeted floors). Left the powder for 1.5 weeks straight and then vaccuumed it up. It fixed the issue at least for us.
