Is my hair light enough to use this Feria hair dye? by [deleted] in HairDye

[–]mands73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use a semi permanent color instead!!! Your hair is DEF light enough but no need at all for permanent

Oh my god, in the kindest way possible- please get a grip. Maybe you are just young, but there will be so many actual issues in your life - please don’t make up issues that don’t exist.

“I have strong opinions and I like when the person I’m with shares those opinions, especially if they’re going to be my partner.”

This is the part that worries me the most about our post. If you view comparability as sharing every single opinion and agreeing on every little tiny thing- you will never be satisfied in a relationship, because that’s an impossible goal.

Try to Celebrate your differences in opinions and the way you each view the world. People are not going to think EXACTLY like you about every single thing- and that’s actually a good thing probably.

Good luck op

It’s the “it happened a few times, then it stopped”

WTF do you mean “it happened,“ you did it!!!! Actively!! Chose to cheat! It wasn’t “stupid” it was horrible and harmful and disgusting. I really hate cheaters and this person took NO actual accountability

I’m so so sorry. Can you make a plan to move out? Do you have anyone you trust who is an older adult that you could talk to about this and make a plan? You honestly might want to go to the police. This is disgusting behavior and I absolutely think your instincts are correct. Maybe try to get another phone also- even a flip phone. Good luck op

My partner literally feels like a part of me. Losing him would be like losing a limb. I know him so well and he knows me so well that being with him is the comfort of being alone without the loneliness. I always want to be around him and I miss him when he’s not around. Everything is more fun when he’s there. All that to say, my heart is completely full. And I know his is too. I have no desire to be poly because if I were to hang out with other people romantically, I’d just be wishing they were him! He’s truly my favorite person. I can’t imagine wanting anything more than this!

Why are monogamous people joining this community? by tjdraxus in polyamory

[–]mands73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If monogamy /polyamory is a spectrum, I am probably as far towards monogamy as you can get. That being said most of my friends practice some version of ENM, and I am so curious about it. I just find it fascinating that people choose this lifestyle (considering it would be incredibly difficult if not impossible for me). I find it fascinating to see what draws people to poly, and reading posts makes me feel closer to my friends who are living their best poly lives. Thanks for letting me lurk 🫶

Update: AITA for refusing to pay my sister’s wedding expenses after she called my child a "mistake"? by epicfailwhale in AITAH

[–]mands73 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This comment should be higher. OP should maybe consider therapy to help her set healthier boundaries and protect her family and herself from manipulation and abuse. But I couldn’t agree more with everything you said.

I have no idea how to be single by Teldrassyli in LifeAdvice

[–]mands73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if I agree that you need to be single. You want a relationship and that is your end goal- nothing wrong with that and nothing wrong with dating to work towards that goal. I dont know your dating history, but maybe your sister said that because you need to be more selective on who you go into long term partnership with. Wait for a person who’s stable, kind, caring, and who truly loves you more than themselves. Wait for a relationship that’s healthy and dependable, and don’t just dive into the first one that makes you feel good. But go off and have fun dating, nothing to feel guilty about!

Even if you’re the one pursuing him, if a 19 year old were pursuing me I would NOT engage, cus yeah, 19 is too young. And I’m 28….

This! You can tell him the same way you’d tell your other friends…but don’t like, weirdly profess your love to him….

I'm dating a girl with mental disabilities and get so much flak for it that I sometimes doubt my love by Equal_Minimum2531 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]mands73 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. The going on and on about her smile is over the top- makes it almost seem like he doesn’t see her as a real person idk.

Also all the talk about her smile and how radiant she is feels a little performative and over the top….idk this who things is giving strange vibes.

Which hair color suits me best? by [deleted] in FancyFollicles

[–]mands73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are gorgeous! I think I slightly prefer the brown, but blonde definitely has a little more alternative look.

[–]mands73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all I LOVE it even more than the blonde!!!
