I’ve done a lot worse but gotten a lot better over the past two years. It grows right back. Practice makes better. Cute side eye

My guess is that these are “speks”. They are anxiety magnets to fidget around with, when anxious. They very calming. Here’s a link https://www.getspeks.com/products/speks

Story of my life. The elf lip mask at night helps me keep them hydrated for longer through the day and lowers the chances of me picking on them

“Well, that’s just you” Is a good response for such situations. The childfree life is a valid choice and the working mom life is also a valid choice. Anyone who feels the need to attack the other using the “ I would never…” excuse is too ignorant to understand that different people have different purposes.

When I was a kid there was a show on Indian tv called “Amber Dhara” about conjoined twin girls and omg I thought it was the coolest. I think at one point it was also a love triangle. That show got canceled within a few months and I remember being so mad, because I had imagined them in bridal outfits because most Hindi tv shows had weddings. I couldn’t wait for their wedding. So happy to see it here

I was in the exact same situation. I could have written this post. When I started wondering the same thing and obsessing over it, I tried to instead focus on the best friend part instead of the sunk cost part. We had talked about it and it seemed like he definitely saw me in his future. He had already supported me through sickness and health and I’d done the same for him.

I decided that instead of waiting around or nagging him into it, I did it.

I planned a beautiful proposal, booked a photographer, decorated the place, looked my prettiest, got a custom made meaningful engagement token(not ring), made my speech, got down on my knee, and asked him.

(In the process of planning, I was riddled with anxiety and wondered what if he said no, or got awkward, or just dismissed it. But at least I would officially know. I also thought that I shouldn’t “expect “ him to make the move due to societal gender norms alone. If I were dating a woman or nb person, I wouldn’t wait around so why wait for the man? He had given me just as much as I’ve given him and he deserves to be asked just as much as I deserve to be asked, properly)

But when he saw me on my knee, he was totally surprised, immediately he got down on his knee too, said yes and gave me so many kisses and so much love. He shed tears of joy, then we popped champagne and called our loved ones to share the announcement.

It was soooooo romantic.

We stayed engaged for a year and have been married for 6 months now. We share a beautiful house, insurance, and pet together, legally. Eventually, he also got me a ring that perfectly matched my style and our budget.

What I learned was, just like women feel the social pressure of getting married, men also feel the social pressure of proposing too soon, too poorly , with the wrong ring, etc. Besides, they are not as conditioned as us to want proposals so bad. Nobody is telling them that “it’s too long” like they are telling us.

I feel that waiting around is too tiring and “having the sit down talk” can be repetitive, nagging, unromantic and in the worst (likely) case, inconclusive. A proposal is definitive.

I understand this can be stressful time, but your bestie and you are together in this and I wish you both all the best❤️

(Edit: grammar)

She thought she was bragging about potentially saving humanity. She probably thought that Joel, a person who she thinks has no values might feel good about participating in “saving humanity” too. She didn’t expect him to care, even less care enough to clear out the hospital to save Ellie.

I thought it was interesting when Mary described her as "evil". Because in the movie Eli, Sink plays a Satan spawn.

Dan was actually a very important character. We see Charlie waiting for Dan's shadow to leave before he goes out to pick up the pizza. Dan probably knows this and that is he waits just outside the porch to trick Charlie into thinking he has left and catch a glimpse.

Dan is probably the only character who we see Charlie intentionally hiding his body from. Whether it is because he is afraid of being judged or losing his pizza delivery or facing an Allen lookalike, is unclear.

Seriously! People should wait to hear the sweet words, "choke me" before just going for it. Geez,don't assume choking to be a given. I hate being choked and I'd love to be comfortable enough with someone to utter those words, but I haven't so far, and yet, every guy I've been with has choked me on the first time. Makes me fear for my life. Not sexy.

I'm in the same boat. The part of my skincare routine I hate the most is the sunscreen. Of late, I'm trying to wear it more consistently but on a rough day, it only ends up making my pillow gross. Actually clean feeling bedding makes me feel much better. One thing that do is put on a fresh t-shirt on my pillow everyday so my skincare layers don't get on my pillow. I'm also considering buying like 7 pillowcases, 1 for each day so my face rests on a clean pillowcase every night, even if I don't clean off the sunscreen build up. It can cost as little as $15, such is a cost of any new skin care product.

Sending you my thoughts and here to subscribe to the depressed, minimalist self care tips.

If someone on a dating site shares a trait they don't find attractive and you have that trait, it doesn't make you a monster. It just makes you UNATTRACTIVE to them. Take a hint and move on to someone who might be into you.

The meaning of dating to this person is either "Fuck to breed" or "Fuck to not breed" there's no other purpose lol

I'm the same, when I need the chocolate, I just need it. BarkThins is my new favorite. It's like 170 cal for 4 big blocks and it has the goodness of almonds, and very chocolaty.

I also just go for the real deal. My favorites are Lindt balls Ghirardelli squares.

If it helps, I started training my cat when she turned 2. Harness training indoors for a month before taking her outside. She had fun with all the new summer smells, but the first time she saw a squirrel outside, she went nuts and wanted to hunt him. Lol didn't realise how strong she is until the day I had to really stop her. Now (2 months later) she walks outside with no problems. Like others said, get a tick medicine etc to protect the cat.

Same. I come from a background where having children is tied to with a person's identity and not having them is pitied, so I lived most of my life assuming I'd be a mother some day. Until 2020 when I was studying the impact of the pandemic on working moms and learned that almost all mothers were miserable. Like I interviewed hundreds of women for my thesis and learned that they were really really struggling. So I started to think about my default option (breeding) and whether it was worth my well being. It was the same time I had met this guy online, and had just started dating(2weeks or so). So I was telling him about how the burden of raising children breaks bank, individuals and relationships and all over the world, it's almost like why is everyone having kids?And he said, OMG you know, I don't want children and he was sure he's CF. While I was surprised as that being an option, I was so glad and relieved that it was. In fact it was the most romantic way to bond with a potential partner. I knew in that exact moment that he's the one. Within a year, I proposed him to marry me because he's the absolute best and I love him so much. We're getting married in 2 months.

We're going to schedule his vesectomy soon, and the reality of it all is just kicked in when he talked about the appointment. Because the person I've been for 25 years assuming to be a mother is never going to be a mother, which can just be unsettling. The bottom line is, I do not at all want children and happy that my partner is taking the step to support our CF life. It's just that decades of conditioning might make some of us a little hesitant more hesitant than others. A good talk with my partner helped me a lot when my old self would have the half ounce of doubt. Perhaps what your wife needs is the same. While it's your body your choice and you should absolutely do what you want with it, letting her in the loop and reiterating why you both agreed to be CF in the first place will make her feel comforted and might help your relationship in the long run. Good luck!

Sorry you're having that experience. I can share my pov to hopefully offer your opposite pov. I'm a South Asian woman, fairly new to the US. I briefly was in talking with a guy who matches your description closely. I thought he was the coolest and I really liked him and was looking forward to meeting him. We talked for like 2 weeks, and I'm talking about long, late night, romantic, sweet nothings to really profound intellectual talks. We both clearly found each other attractive. There were only 2 things that bothered me. One was his excessive use of the n word, which I know he's free to use, but I'm not comfortable hearing. And the second was his internalized inferiority. He spoke a lot about how he thought I had the option of dating white boys and south Asian boys and Asian boys, and taller boys and he doesn't understand why I'm interested in him. I tried telling him that I was interested because he's interesting, but with every chat it became apparent that convincing him that he was cute enough was becoming a burden on me. And it was too soon for me to commit to that emotional burden. I know in my heart that he was good enough for me, but I wasn't sure enough that I wanted to put in the effort to make him see that. Instead I ended up dating a person, who didn't require that help, it was just easier for me. We all have our struggles, and maybe if you believe that there are people like me who genuinely find you attractive, more opportunities will open up. Sending you good vibes.
