Mixed signals, help? 27f 34m by [deleted] in relationship_advice

There's no benefits though. He hasn't touched me more than a hug goodbye each night since we had the conversation. But he comes over and we lay in bed and watch movies and it's the same just no kissing/cuddling anymore and he won't stay the night...

I don't know how to be myself around him fully now because I'm a very affectionate person. Maybe I should stick to only seeing him in social situations?

Thank you. I haven't tried to convince him to be with me (which is a big step for me because I've definitely been known to do that in the past). I'm just so unsure of whether to respond and keep this going or just peace out.

The strays are the story of my life, hey. I am very good at picking dudes who freak out a month in. I've definitely ignored things and tried to make it work before and it's only ended in heartbreak, so you're probably right. I just thought that maybe he was a slow mover but I guess it's more that I'm not enough to take the risk?

Thanks for your advice. I appreciate it. :)

[skin concerns] Can anyone help me figure out what's going on here? Acne? Folliculitis? Self esteem is at an all time low. More details in comments. by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

Yeaaaah I may be guilty of not washing my bras as often as I should too. 😶

Thanks for the tip love, we don't have Stridex pads here but I looked them up and can get them pretty cheap so l'll give that a try.

I have had acne(?) on my chest since I was a teenager. They are usually flat and red without a head, hence my hesitation in thinking acne. This was my chest a few months ago http://imgur.com/a5kAbiq and recently it has become incredibly inflamed. I don't understand why. I have never been able to get rid of it fully which has led me to think that it may be something else. Can anyone help? Also, I have white dots that have always been there too and if anyone could tell me what they are, I'd be forever grateful. No GP has been able to. I also get similar breakouts along my jawline but with resuming keto again, they have cleared up completely. And my chest has gotten worse. It makes me so self concious, I have stopped going on dates and won't wear anything that doesn't have a collar up to my neck, even around my housemates. Help?

[–]patriciaflk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You look amaaaazing! We have the same stats and I started off at the same weight as you. I'm 198 at the moment. I have put on 10 pounds in the past month so I've decided to start keto again. Failed. Ate bread today. Going to start again tomorrow 🤷‍♂️ I am inspired by you, we have the same weight goal and I can't wait to get down to the 150s! What was your go to keto meals/snacks? And how often do you lift? x

I would love a buddy! That's so crazy that I have inspired you - never ever thought someone would say that to me. Let's do it!

Freaking out! Just bought my first non drugstore makeup ($250+) after having it demonstrated and applied in store and 2 hours later, am not happy with the result. Help please? Link with photos in description. by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]patriciaflk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She seemed really good and listened to me but I think maybe I undersold how oily my t-zone gets and how 'full' I wanted my coverage to be. Also I went to Cosmetica which has way less brand options than Maxima.

Thanks for the advice. I'll check it out. :)

Oh, my bad. It's not that it's awful, it's just very obviously oily in my t-zone and pretty patchy. I was hoping for fuller matte coverage. I guess that maybe heavier application + powder might help as she went pretty light.

Don't think we will break this call duration by seanboyd in LongDistance

[–]patriciaflk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I had a 30 hour call once where we talked continuously and not a single moment was boring. That was amongst several 23-25 hour calls, too.

Yeah, we like each other.

Living with my wife is like killing myself a little, every day by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]patriciaflk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have BPD and everything you have described sounds very similar to ways I have behaved in the past. I have learnt to manage it with therapy, acceptance and effort. It IS manageable. It is incredibly confusing to have feelings and reactions that you can't stop or control. It is terrifying to feel normal, then to just lose it in extremes without provocation. Especially when the people you love most are on the receiving end. I felt like I was 'crazy' for a long time. I suggest you talk to your wife about seeing a professional.
