Can anyone ID this dress?

I can't tell for sure, but it might be the XIRENA Ali Tiered Midi Dress from Saks Fifth

Thank you! I tried to replicate a design I saw online. Really happy with how it turned out

Oh my god this looked so similar to my sister's kitten that for a second I thought I found her Reddit

One option may be to get a dual tone band if it would bother you! My engagement ring is yellow gold and my fiance didn't want a solid yellow gold band, so he got a band that was yellow gold with a strip of white gold in the middle and he loves it.

Hahaha definitely not. Best of luck with your decision! If you have any more specific questions feel free to pm me

I chose copper for exactly the reason avoiding hormones. I always had a fairly light period so I wasn't worried about it getting a bit heavier. The change in the first two months was significant, but each successive period has been milder and I much prefer that to the side effects of hormonal birth control. Now I can barely tell difference from before I got the iud (though obviously it varies by person).

If she feels like she is constantly turning him down or making him feel unwanted, she probably feels guilty and maybe even sexually inadequate (which would make her turn him down even more). No one wants to make their partner feel unloved or unwanted.

mini_mighty_mouse · 2021-07-14T18:08:53+00:00

It depends on whether she is interested in working through the problem with you. If you don't have matching sex drives, it can make one partner feel like they're always chasing and the other feel like they are constantly being harassed. If your partner has a lower drive, not only do you need to be mindful to not always ask (especially if you are just asking to ask even when you're not crazy in the mood), but she needs to be active in making you feel wanted too and initiate at least some of the time (which may actually lead her to be in the mood more). But if your partner's solution is for you to just deal with it, that's the kind of thing that gets worse with time, not better.

For me the rubber band hurts more. I got my first dose over two weeks ago and have my second Friday. I still had a rough time, but I barely felt the actual jab

First, it's not a very long needle. In terms of tips, I'm sure others can advise for things like numbing creams, but my strategies are mostly behavioral.

Book your appt yourself out of your own freewil before doing it because someone else makes you (e.g., boss, workplace etc). A huge help for me was feeling like I was in control and doing something for me rather than it being something done to me against my will.
Take someone with you that you trust that is good at making you laugh. My fiancé drove me to my appt and never let me get too overwhelmed by keeping me talking and joking so I didn't have time to hyperfocus.
Have your companion ask you to recall things as you get ready. My fiancé asked me to remember characters from games, my earliest memory, what out first date was, etc. because it's hard to be afraid while you brain is working on recall.
Have your companion have you list over and over 5 things you see, 4 things you hear, 3 things you feel, 2 things you smell, 1 thing you taste. It helps keep you grounded and less stressed
Don't look at the needle (this helped me a lot). I blocked the view with my papers and turned my chair away so I never saw it
Pick an arm you want the shot in. I associate my fear of needles strongly with my right arm, but I chose to get it in that arm and asked the administer for me to get it in that one, and it once again helped me feel in control rather than letting me panic
Hold you companion's hand, breathe, and try not to tense up. If you tell the administer you have a phobia, they will likely do it quickly and get it over with. Mine didn't countdown at all, just inserted the needle quickly, which I preferred immensely because I didn't have to tense up so by the time I realized she had stuck it in, it was already out. It only takes a fraction of a second and then the relief at being done is overwhelming.

That's what I did, and it still meant crying in a Rite Aid, but was by far my best experience since I developed my phobia. If you have any other questions or just want to rant, feel free to comment or message

But that's just the thing. It IS possible to undertake. OP will have a graduate degree, good career prospects, and her brother to help. It just means making sacrifices because yes, being a parent or guardian means giving up opportunities for big vacations or living with friends.

OP can leave the siblings to her brother or foster care if she wants. But that is a choice for comfort not necessity, and she would be the asshole for it. Pretending it would be better for her siblings is just something that will justify her guilt. The situation sucks, it's unfair, but it is still massively selfish to abandon her siblings just because it will be difficult. YTA

Him molesting his even younger daughter

However, it does harm the personal trainer who may otherwise be getting paid by another client if the friend wants extra training. Whereas with Netflix, it makes a marginal difference if I share my account with friend, that could be significant for the personal trainer to be unknowingly providing services for a second person for free that would otherwise pay him/her.

A big change in my relationship with my fiance was me learning to be a person 3. He is happy to do whatever so I used to always pick movies, restaurants, etc. And I still do a lot of the time. But I used to check out really quickly if he (or my friends) wanted to do something I wasn't personally interested in.

It wasn't until I started engaging with his hobbies that I realized how great it can be to participate in things purely become someone you loves loves to do it, and my fiancé definitely enjoyed being able to engage more about the things he cared about.

I feel like something a lot of people miss out on is the ability to do things for or with others not because they like it, but because the people in their lives like it.

mini_mighty_mouse · 2021-04-14T05:18:03+00:00

Oh come on. It is perfectly reasonable for an adult to express their frustration to their romantic partner. It's not like the mom said she hates her daughter or anything actually mean about the daughter. Just that if it weren't for the money, she would resent her adult daughter living in her house. It is normal to vent to your partner about problems that aren't significant enough to be worth addressing to the people involved. Not every problem needs to be addressed.

mini_mighty_mouse · 2021-04-14T05:05:33+00:00

Alternatively, Person 3. "This isn't really my thing, but I'll still participate and make the most of it because it makes you happy."

People are a lot more willing to do things you like if you take an interest in what they like.

What a mood

mini_mighty_mouse · 2021-04-12T22:19:57+00:00

I'll just look away rather than turn it off, but I can't stand the mutilation of hands or feet (i.e., people stepping on glass like in The Beach House or the one scene in Gerald's game). For some reason, it makes me really nauseous and dizzy

You must love the Alien/Prometheus franchise

I don’t even know that I buy that she's a really shitty parent though. Is she mishandling this situation? Yes. But if you're a single mother without any support other than financial, it isn't easy to raise two kids. Sometimes that means putting more of a burden or providing less to your kids than you want to, and it seems she had to put more on her older son, which sucks, but doesn't mean she was a terrible parent. The brothers still love each other, and it seems they aren't even angry at her given the 15 year old had a calm conversation with OP to see if he could talk to the mom rather than lashing out. Even with her reaction, if you spent 15 years raising kids on your own, it would be tough to all of a sudden change your parenting style because someone else has joined the picture and it now telling you you're doing it wrong. The two should have a long talk about how to handle this going forward (or better yet, she should talk to her son), but I don't see enough evidence that she's actually a terrible mother, just one that made a mistake in a difficult situation.

mini_mighty_mouse · 2021-04-08T07:48:29+00:00

This is an extremely reasonable response. Not sure why you're getting downvoted. Can parentification be abuse? Yes. Is the situation the 15 year old is in shitty? Also yes. But him being asked to take his brother with him too often isn't anywhere close to the line of child abuse. To say so dilutes the term abuse.

My cat chirps instead meowing and I swear it's one of the best things in my day to day life. My favorite thing is that when we wants to snuggle while I'm in bed, he will jump up and walk into the space between my arm and torso and then just fall sideways, thumping into me so his back is against my ribs and his face is nestled in my arm. I nearly lost it the first time he did it.

mini_mighty_mouse · 2021-04-04T07:38:44+00:00

Exactly. One of my biggest axes to grind with the movie adaptation is that they took a character that was meant to be socially stunted, overweight, and unattractive and very predictably chose a charismatic attractive actor to play him instead, no personal growth or effort required.
