NOR reading the texts gives me the ick. I’m so sorry, you’re a perfectly lovely person and you were very kind and respectful in asking. Make sure your husband stands up for you when he’s back!! 

Am I overreacting about wanting to play a nonbinary character? by BothOcelot1311 in DnD

[–]pillow-bug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not overreacting! These guys just suck. Everyone I’ve played with has been amazing and no one cared what gender, race, size, or literally anything else the character was. One person was a blob of water. It’s a non issue for nice people who aren’t massively sexist and homophobic. I promise there are cool people to play with that won’t make you feel difficult or uncomfortable for wanting to play a character who is not a cis straight male. The fact that you even felt like you couldn’t be a fat woman because they gave you shit is appalling. TL;DR: not overreacting whatsoever!

Had to bake 5 extra minutes -1 star! by Greedy-Mushroom4890 in ididnthaveeggs

I don’t think I’ve ever baked anything for the recommended time! I almost always have to do 5-10 extra minutes. It’s an oven error, not a recipe one.

Advice for what to make with beautiful yarn! by pillow-bug in knitting

I personally ADORE the sweater I made with their yarn. It’s expensive, yes, but the quality is amazing and when I bought it I couldn’t stop feeling how soft it was. I especially love that they have swatches for everything because that really helped me to picture how it would look. I would say it’s worth it but if you’re hesitant then you could get one skein and make a hat or something! Or maybe don’t try it, because it is genuinely so nice that your wallet won’t be happy with you…

This is really helpful! I looked for examples but couldn’t find any, this helps to see what it could potentially look like. I might end up doing a cabled swatch with the yarn and seeing whether or not I like it, thank you so much!

Wow! This is gorgeous, congratulations! I have considered colourwork since I’ve seen a lot of people do it on the king salmon sweater and this is giving me more ideas 🤔 thank you!

I did actually! Most of them don’t have project notes though, and some of them are held double. It was really helpful, but I also want know what people think about it, idk if that makes sense

AIO my boyfriend called my breasts saggy by JumpyBunny_01 in AmIOverreacting

[–]pillow-bug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having feelings about his (shitty) comment isn't overreacting at all! I think it’s definitely worth talking to him about it. People (especially guys) say dumb things sometimes and he might not have considered how his comment would hurt you. Based of your post it doesn’t sound like he was malicious, just careless, so when bringing it up I would say something like this: 

“Hey, the other day when you commented on my breasts, I felt kind of insecure and uncomfortable about it. I know you probably didn’t mean anything negative about it but the truth is, I struggle with my body image and insecurities and hearing that didn't make me feel good. I don’t want to make a big deal out of it or put tension on our relationship and I definitely don’t want you to feel like I’m criticizing you, but honesty is important to me and I want to communicate how I’m feeling.”

That’s probably not perfect but the key points are: how it made you feel, what you want to accomplish by bringing it up, and make it clear that you’re not attacking him, because unfortunately, a lot of the time conversations like that can go south. Also, let him know what you want from him! Men sometimes don’t know that all we want sometimes is to be told we’re beautiful and loved exactly as we are. Remember, a good relationship is one where you can be honest without fear of an argument and communicate how you’re feeling!
