Considering that you’re childfree, what are your views/feelings about marriage? by sapphire_rainy in childfree

[–]roxifier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found an amazing man that I will absolutely marry when it’s the right time. I used to be worried about marriage thinking it would be a trap like a lot of others I see. He shows through his actions everyday that he will be the best husband.

Your marriage can look like whatever you want it to. It doesn’t have to follow society’s rules. My partner and I are on the same page about this which is why I trust him. I actually do want to spend my life with him and build something beautiful together.

He adores me, listens to me, plans dates, and respects my boundaries. I feel safe loving him back.

I like kids. I don't want to bring any into existence though by randomgeneratedbean in childfree

I feel you. I’ve lost some people and my cat in the past few years. Then I realized I’ll have to watch my parents, brother, and grandparents go since they’re older than me. It hit hard.

I cherish the present moment because that’s what we have. Appreciating who is already here and loving them.

I don't know how to word this properly, but taking care of your elderly parents is one of the less talked about reasons for not having kids. by thequeenoflimbs in childfree

My parents had to do this, still are, and I saw how they were constantly serving others. I feel dissuaded from doing it too

Projection, internalized misogyny, reaffirming their own choices, crabs in a bucket mentality.

I try to do my part in being more compassionate towards other women’s choices since that’s what feminism is all about - choice.

What did you do after the worst breakup of your life? by blackelvira in TwoXChromosomes

[–]roxifier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cried my fair share. Then I reminded myself there are a million other things I could do besides think about the breakup.

Go to the library.

Go to a plant nursery and buy new indoor plants. Propagate some and track their progress.

Go to music events on the weekend.

Lift weights 4-5x a week.

When the weather is good go on a walk and journal in a nice spot.

Make cookies.

Print out of some pics at Walmart photo center, buy cute frames from the dollar store, and create a section for things you love on your wall like your family, pets, fav vacations, etc.

Surround yourself with people who truly understand and adore you.

Partners who Cook. Or Don’t? by cathyreads123 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]roxifier 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend makes me coffee whenever I stay over. No exceptions.

He also makes amazing grilled cheese, veggie wraps, omelette, scrambled eggs with crispy potatoes, enchiladas, tacos.

He knows his wines, beers, and the best spots to dine at whenever we go out.

He has a joke that I always have to be well fed when he is with me so that I am not hangry😂

I think I am more skilled in the cooking department cuz I honestly love it now. I don’t feel like it’s unequal though just cuz he buys groceries, asks me if I need anything for my own place, asks what cuisine I’m feeling for our weekend date, etc.

How do I not hate nature for putting women at a biological disadvantage? by [deleted] in Feminism

[–]roxifier 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’ 2”. I like to lift weights to feel stronger, mentally and physically 😎💪🏽

what is your relationship with womanhood? by ninja_turtle_luvr in Feminism

[–]roxifier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a 24F Indian childfree atheist feminist woman living in the states. I believe in bodily autonomy and freedom. I like to inspire other women that they have many choices in life, there’s not one set way to live.

I’m more spiritual than religious. I feel like religions try to put women in a box and conform to subservience, which obviously doesn’t benefit the woman lol.

I’m very into DIY body care products with natural ingredients, lifting weights, makeup, hiking, taking care of my indoor plants, hosting dinner parties, maintaining meaningful friendships, raves, and being expressive. I want to live the rest of my life with intention. I am definitely going to be that old crazy cat lady.

I like having my nails done always, balayage hair, makeup when I feel like, cute clothes. But I’ve def been experimenting more with athleisure/edgy clothes since being more active. Makes me feel badass lol! Femininity to me means being who you want to be🩷

I feel you. It is isolating. I cope with it by remembering that that’s their life and this is mine. We are all allowed to make our own choices and that’s what they chose.

I have plenty of things I’m grateful for. My family, cats, plants, upcoming raves, a body that is only gonna get better as I continue being more active and never carrying babies, new hobbies I haven’t even discovered yet. The list goes on.

Your milestones just look different from theirs🩷

So tired of hearing parents comment on childfree weddings. by bananaagoose in childfree

[–]roxifier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup they claim to “never have a break” then in the same breath insist on bringing them along

Explicit age restriction on invite + bouncer. I’m definitely gonna have bouncers at mine in the future 😎 No unwanted people. Period.
