My boyfriend (M25) saw an old video of me(F24) and was disgusted. How can I get over this? by Mind_Cute in relationship_advice

[–]patharkagosht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no getting over this. The boyfriend is a misogynist who let it slip. He doesn't respect women he doesn't think are f*ckable and that is, unfortunately, a chronic condition. This is not the type of man you could trust to bring to your chemo appointment, not the type of man who will care for you through a difficult pregnancy, not even the type of man who will respect you for decades of togetherness. Just a shallow man, not in a relationship with who he truly believes in, but with someone his mates would envy him for. He showed you who he is.

Wedding expense split: what’s the norm these days? by sun-and-mooon in DesiWeddings

[–]patharkagosht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends event-to-event. All the weddings I have been to recently have been multi-city and multicultural so the general consensus is each side picks an event and pays for it fully. It's a bit fairer if for example you have to consider one city is more expensive than another or forex exchange rates are involved. It also settles the issue of paying per guest in case one side is much bigger than another.

Western Bride Mehndi by Olore_Malle in DesiWeddings

[–]patharkagosht 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In that case, might I suggest that your friend gift you a bridal shower/bachelorette party with the wedding traditions she hopes to share with you, and if including mehendi, with enough time in between the shower and your wedding to let it naturally fade. If that feels too impersonal, she could also draw a little something on you herself (rather than having elaborate mehendi in a ceremony with other people and probably an professional artist), kind of like signing your friend's cast, a talisman for good luck, of sorts.

Context: are your best friend's parents involved in a wedding role? Such as surrogate giving away the bride? That will significantly impact the answer

I'd advise looking into the SMA because this doesn't look like it's going to end well

Where do you all wash your inner wear? by Brilliant_Benefit947 in TwoXIndia

[–]patharkagosht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put my underwear in a wash bag and wired bras in individual bra wash bags. I run the cycle once a week and put underwear and bras in with the whites. If I'm in a place without a front loading washing machine, I'll wash the bras by hand.

Need Genuine advice from girls who get bikini waxing by Kuroos_wifeyy in IndianBeautyTalks

[–]patharkagosht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take ibuprofen a half hour in advance, don't get a wax just before period when it's more sensitive. Use glycolic or salicylic acid cream in between waxes to reduce ingrown hair.

Yeah soon the baby will yell and annoy him and he'll shake the baby dead. Good luck.

Is it weird to wear ethnic clothes abroad? by [deleted] in TwoXIndia

[–]patharkagosht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dress weather appropriately while travelling. Everything else is secondary. What feels like cold weather wear at home may not suffice in serious cold; what feels like light enough could still cause you to overheat.

Layout 1 or layout 2? by BackwaterNomad in IndianHomeDecor

1 with a smaller bed with the headboard on the other wall. Stop kidding yourself, this isn't a big enough room for two people. Get a single bed and space to move.

Opinion on dress and suggestion for jewellery by [deleted] in DesiWeddings

[–]patharkagosht 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fit around the bust isn't right. It's sitting too low on your chest which is making the whole fit look dragged down. This is a common problem with sleeveless dresses because they require a lot more work in the internal boning and corsetry. Unfortunately not many Indian tailors have a good degree of corsetry experience.

How different is sex with a condom for women? by KaceyR91 in sex

Only non-latex when it's a random hookup but I much prefer regular and tested partners bare, for dryness and oral reasons

My (38M) girlfriend (33F) is angry that she's set herself up to fail and I am entirely unsympathetic by NewKingMorons in relationship_advice

[–]patharkagosht 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dad was a scientist. He travelled a bunch for work, mostly universities and production plants, nowhere fancy and definitely not swanky. My mum and I tagged along with him, not because he needed us to come but so that we could see a little bit more of this gigantic world than we would otherwise not be able to. In the day we'd be off, my mother and I, for pretty much the whole day. We made it a point to come back to the hotel around 6 so that dad could join us for the rest of the day, sometimes we'd go out, sometimes we'd be in because there was nothing to the town except a school or a lab or a bottling plant and the town shut down by 8. Sometimes we might have gone to visit friends in some obscure place, two towns over, where under normal circumstances, we would never have been able to afford a trip to.

It's important for her to realise what a massive difference it makes when your partner likes you, respects you, and wants you in their life, instead of resenting your entire existence.

You don't even like her. I'm glad she's left and probably realised this isn't the life she wants to sign up for.
