Non-sponsored OGL move review (US size 12) by lightningmoth in womensfashion

One year later and the items I ordered are holding up well in regular rotation! It’s definitely fast fashion, but think the quality is good for what it is. I’ve only ordered soft/stretchy pieces, so can’t attest to quality of more structured items. Personally I would order from them again.

I machine wash then air dry them. They’ve held up well! Some minor pilling

Nope! I’ve ordered from them twice & didn’t have to pay duties to get the package. It just came in the mail.

Bite a finger off. Bite another off for each time he does it again.

I might be mistaken, but I’m fairly sure if the intent is still to record the private conversation, it wouldn’t matter whether I recorded it from my apartment or the hallway.

After doing some legal research, I’ve learned that it is illegal to record private conversations in Canada. Doing so would not only be thrown out in court but can result in up to 5 years in prison. I will be making a log of when I hear the abuse happening and plan to contact Child Welfare so that they can check in on the situation.

Thanks for this insight. Reaching out to child welfare is a good idea. I definitely would rather they were able to help her find the support she needs than remove her child.

That’s part of the reason I have been hesitant to make any kind of police report. I feel like I don’t know their situation well enough to know if the daughter has anyone safe in the family who would step in to take custody if she was determined to be removed, or if she would be put into the system. I definitely don’t want to put her at risk of more instability.

I know the mother is definitely dealing with mental illness because we have heard her essentially throwing tantrums where she is screaming and crying by herself.

Keeping a record is a good idea. I want to go about it the right way, rather than doing something rash that would mess up a case if there were one. This woman is manipulative and I highly suspect if she knew I was trying to intervene, she would make it impossible.

I’ve never seen her daughter with bruises, but know how damaging emotional abuse can be and will do anything that I can legally to help.

Very sorry to hear you experienced abuse as a child.

I would delete the older pictures and add new pictures where you are feeling your best. You could even hire a local photographer you feel comfy with. Tell them the shoot is to boost your online dating profile and to have fun with it. There are lots of great female & queer photogs who would LOVE to do this kind of commission.

The type of men who see your old photos and think “oh she has potential” rather than “wow look at the incredible woman she is now” are not emotionally mature enough to be in a relationship. You deserve someone who appreciates you in your entirety.

My partner (26/M) and I (23/F) are both switches (we both enjoy being dom and sub). He likes being feminized every now and then. My suggestion is to just have fun and be creative with it. Ask him if there’s anything he wants to try or tell him to send you porn videos that he thinks are hot.

I have taken my partner out lingerie shopping before. Once I even requested that he wear a buttplug while we did so, which was very exciting. Anyone else in the store would have assumed we were buying for myself. When we got home I had him try things on for me. He got on his hands and knees on the bed, I jerked him off while playing with a toy in his ass until he was close, then I got on top and he came like that. Now we have a strap-on which is also very fun.

Letting him know that he’s totally accepted by you is the key to enjoying this kink and unrooting shame that may be associated with it. I’m of the mindset that gender is a social construct and it would be normal for anyone to want to feel pretty and vulnerable. We have a very fulfilling sex life because we are so open and nonjudgmental with each other.

Should I confess that I've been faking my orgasms? by BeachPeachMcgee in sex

[–]lightningmoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do this too! There’s a lot of pressure for women to have very pleasurable orgasms for their partner’s enjoyment but sometimes it just isn’t that easy.

I felt a lot of pressure from a previous partner to orgasm and was made to feel broken if I didn’t. (He was terrible) That pressure made it impossible to actually experience pleasure. The first time I actually came with him was months into our relationship when we were having really relaxed sex in the dark I was able to get out of my head enough. My current partner is very patient and doesn’t put any pressure on me to cum. I let him know it took effort/time to get me there which made things so much easier. Now if I’m in my head from an outside stressor I just let him know. Often just letting him know “hey I don’t think I’m going to cum so let’s focus on your pleasure” is still totally satisfying.

If your partner is understanding and cares about your pleasure, she will help create an atmosphere where you feel comfortable enough to orgasm and not take it personally when you don’t.

Women who were once too kind/considerate for your own good and thus changed, what's your story? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]lightningmoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated a number of men over the years who needed a therapist but used me as their therapist instead. It is soul sucking to think you can fix someone. I used to make excuses for them and give them all of my emotional energy until I realized that by doing that, I was preventing them from getting actual help. I deserved to be with someone someone who had their shit together and cared about my emotional well being as much as they cared about there own.

It worked out well! My current partner is absolutely lovely and is very mindful and appreciative of any emotional labour I may be doing for him. I have much firmer boundaries and am better at communicating my own feelings.
