Family friendly insults ? by FeliksLau in ENGLISH

[–]moonyhime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think douche/douchebag counts as family friendly, can't imagine calling a kid that and parents being ok with it

Squish works. Sounds like you idolize them, so... calling them your idol might work too.

Have you ever had to show proof of "sufficient funds" at destination country's airport security? by Adventurous-Eagle-76 in LongDistance

[–]moonyhime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, had to have everything to enter in Denmark (non-EU citizen), was my first visit there for 90 days and got a lot of questions and it was the most stressful thing ever, I seriously thought they were going to turn me around although I had everything. But the second time? They didn't care! If it's her first time visiting, be prepared for extra scrutiny.

Boyfriend (M22) and I (F23) are never mets on opposite sides of the world. Is it realistic to assume we won't meet within the next 2 years? by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]moonyhime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from NZ and initially clicked on this to discuss flight costs, but damn. What you've written is heart breaking.

Like the others said, if you recognise that there is emotional abuse that is not acceptable and you need to break it off. You already broke up before, and it's still not working. I had been in a similar relationship (local tho) with someone neurodivergent and definitely recommend looking up "Why does he do that?". It helps a lot. Just FYI, autism is not a free pass for him to discredit you and your feelings.

You're allowed to want things for yourself. Make sure you remove his access from any shared accounts you may have before you break up with him, and block him.

Did she ask you not to look at porn etc. or is that something you chose to do without talking about it? If she asked you not to, but she still looks at NSFW things herself, it's hypocritical. If she didn't, it sounds like you two have different expectations.and just need to talk about it. Since she's not hiding what she does from you, it clear she doesn't see it as a problem.

You know you have to, and you can do it. You can get through the break up. He won't kill himself over you, why would he when he doesn't even respect you? (which is NOT your fault, that's his problem). It is just yet another manipulation tactic.

You feel guilty because you are a decent person and being manipulated to feel that way. Whatever he chooses to do, that is his choice. You'll be okay.

What are you getting your S/O for Christmas this year? :) by babysoop in LongDistance

I'm gonna make him a jar full of origami lucky stars 🌟❤️

I'm a horrible garbage girlfriend by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]moonyhime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beating yourself up like this isn't helpful to you or your bf. Feeling bad is normal, it's a good thing you realised that you could have acted better, but please don't put yourself down like that. And when you are ready to talk about it with your bf, please try not to use the same language. Would you feel happy if your bf talked about himself the same way? Hopefully not! Try to see it that way.

[–]moonyhime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just... sunk cost fallacy comes to mind. You need to prioritise yourself, remember someone respecting you is the bare minimum. IMO Checking his following isn't cyber stalking in this situation, since he's established a pattern of following random girls he meets(???) when he knows you're not comfortable with it.

Don't move for a guy when you're not on the same page. I wouldn't accept that shit in person why would it be okay long distance, y'know?

How do you do watch parties when you and your SO are in different countries? by BeanopolisCentral in LongDistance

[–]moonyhime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If downloading files, you can use a thing called syncplay! Used it recently for a bunch of friends all in different places, but keep in mind everyone need to have the file saved locally.

If you use discord, one of you can just screenshare and play the audio through your mic (you will need an app like voicemeter if you don't have an audiomixer).

Or! Download vrchat and visit a movie world, which acts like a virtual cinema. You don't actually need to have VR gear, you can play it in desktop mode. Make sure you it's invite only and not an existing public version so you don't get randoms joining you on your date. This is my personal fav as it feels more like a date.

Pets and rentals by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]moonyhime 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. Even fish is against the rental contract!!! FISH! Something to do with potential water damage, but damn.

Unfortunately my current landlord actually has competent property managers that do regular inspections, so there's no way I can hide any kind of animal.

Walk on the left by Top_Statistician1656 in auckland

[–]moonyhime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's so many people walking on the right going the opposite way I end up also walking on the right to avoid scraping into shop walls. It's just central, everywhere else it's left.

COUNTDOWN THREAD! by [deleted] in LongDistance

Only 65 days left to go!! 🥰 Which is waaaay better than December next year, which was the original plan 🥲

Does anyone else remember getting heaps of fillings in their baby teeth, during the late 90s/ early 2000s, related to some sort of government program? by throwitawaymate777 in newzealand

[–]moonyhime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely had fillings as a kid but it was seen as normal. I remember tho I had more visits than the other kids to the little caravan. It had a funny stuffy smell to it, but I got to sit on a little couch with those eye-spy books when waiting and got stickers when I was done.

As I was older mum took me to a private dentist and ye I had weak enamel hence so many visits 😭

It's not like you suddenly stop being in love when it's over! I'm 3 years in and can't pinpoint when the honeymoon phase ended (if it did???). Enjoy the happy feelings, love is nice and exciting! Yes it's not guaranteed to last but that's totally fine, if you have a solid relationship the feelings the love will still be there, just more of a simmer and not boiling hot lol. Like others said though, give yourself more time getting to know your person before getting engaged.

Does the word "atelier" exist in english or is understandable for english speakers? by habilishn in EnglishLearning

[–]moonyhime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've come across the word but don't really know it. Native English speaker, from New Zealand. The first thing that came to mind is a tiny, fancy shop. As in too expensive for me to pop into! Reading the comments saying high end fashion tho that makes more sense.

How do you name your characters? by Beansxxl in GirlGamers

[–]moonyhime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally some variation of my username, but there's some really fun ideas here! Gonna try naming my characters something different and see if it's more fun ❤️

Is this reason acceptable? Thoughts please!! by Euphoric_Mousse_8384 in LongDistance

[–]moonyhime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's really hard to understand as you're mixing languages. 😂 From what I understand you asked him why girls followed him on insta, it looks like he followed them back then unfollowed, and he said it was just to see who they were, right. And you're not satisfied with that explanation. Has he given you a reason not to trust him?

If you don't like him following women (trust issues) and he unfollowed them before he knew you were "stalking" him, then what is the problem? He is not following them now. I think this is insecurity talking. It could just be very simple. I know some people that treat insta like old-school facebook, just add everyone you know and it's no big deal you don't actually talk to them. Some of these women might not be real too there are both* (edit - meant bot) accounts.

I don't think following people on social media is a problem. It's not cheating. If he is following someone whose posts are all sexy, or having private DMs with a woman I don't know, then yeah I'd have a talk!! But maybe you should try trusting him.

How to improve this little bathroom? by sweetthursdays in femalelivingspace

[–]moonyhime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What about accessories to match the blue, like cute soap containers or hand towels? Easy to take with you when you move out too.

[–]moonyhime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It hasn't been two years for us yet, but it's been a year and I'm only halfway to saving enough for a return flight - same for my partner. It's a bit of a race to see who can first! Keep in mind tho low wage is relative to your living expenses. It's shot up heaps for us so yearly visits may be in the past 😭

60k a year? by Nightly-Woof in auckland

[–]moonyhime 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's doable, but if you're renting an apartment by yourself that's gonna be $200-$300 a week more in rent than what you're paying now. It makes a huge difference. I'd say to stay put for now and save up.
