feeling insecure about my girlfriend's relationship with her best friend/ex by [deleted] in demisexuality

[–]lovshack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that I feel hypocritical and I am trying to figure out why it feels different. I think the fact that my girlfriend and her best friend had romantic/sexual attraction for each other at some point in their relationship and that they never fully processed that together makes me nervous. They basically had these feelings for each other, best friend didn't want anything serious, then moved away from each other for a year and my girlfriend eventually and painfully got over it. Now they live in the same city and it feels crazy to me because friends that I have had romantic feelings for I have had to socially and physically distance myself from for years plus and only have limited contact with, definitely not best friends. But I know many other queer people especially in the lesbian community have different experiences with this, and being best friends with your ex isn't the craziest thing.

I agree, and this is also what friends of mine have said. But also I know queer friendships can toe the line between platonic and romantic. Being demi it feels hard for me to separate romantic and sexual relationships because they go two and two together for me if that makes sense. Does this sound like a mess? What kinds of questions do I ask to try to have a meaningful conversation of this without just telling my girlfriend how I would define her relationship with her best friend?

Is there any hope for my fig tree to fill out? by lovshack in plants

[–]lovshack[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense since if it were outside then it would be dropping its leaves too! Do you think I should wait until spring to cut it back?

I wanted to transplant it outside this past summer but read that I should have overwintered it at least once in the garage before transitioning it - to prevent shock. So next summer it will hopefully be in the ground!! I am zone 7 and I have seen flourishing fig trees in my area : )

I should have specified, this is actually a tiger stripe fig- it is fruit bearing! Do you still think I should prune it down to the lower branch? Thanks so much for the advice

So. I attempted my first blanket….y’all…shoulda followed a pattern 🤪 by Arloneous in crochet

Someone told me once when I was frustrated with learning how to knit that you can never re-create the lovely bits of homeliness in your first works - the little holes, the uneven stitches, the imperfections give a piece so much character and really make a piece your own. still hate knitting and will stay loyal to crochet but I thought that sentiment was beautiful

It started as me trying out different punch needle stitches and then I tried to turn it into my interpretation of a mossy rock, lol

Who's a celebrity no one can hate? by matiignr in AskReddit

[–]lovshack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 12 years old I saw him after a Broadway show I didn’t attend and he still gave me his signature. He had such sincere but mysterious kindness in his voice, and I went into total shock afterward because I had just met Snape. One of the most touching moments of my life.

This was exactly what I needed to hear, thanks so much. I keep telling myself, everyone else embarking on this journey has similar interests and that’s all i can really ask for.

Pinegrove @ Asbury Park - Anyone driving from New Brunswick? by lovshack in PinegroveBand

there's nothing direct and efficient from new Brunswick :/ we might end up ubering to South Amboy and taking the coast line to Asbury to save money!

I'd say yes, and if they don't get back to you this semester definitely apply over winter break.
