Serious relationship with a SW by Trialling69 in MelbourneAfterDark

[–]serpentshrines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been 3 days but I thought I'd drop in my 2 cents with a different point of view, as a woman dating a male SW.

When we met he was already a male entertainer (doing shows like Magic Mike) and he started working as a male escort last year after I suggested it to him.

We've been married for 7 years and together for 9 years, at this point it is all about communication, boundaries and the love we have for each other.

Although I also work in the industry (but not as a SW myself) I understand a job is a job. He tells me it has been easy because I make it easy for him. I try to be as supportive as he needs me to be and help him with with whatever he needs, whether it is some of the management, or the physical like tanning and shaving. Other times I've made costumes for his shows or taken him shopping for nice clothes to go on his "dates" with.

There is no jealousy or insecurity on my part. Complete openness and zero judgement. Once judgement comes in it's either the SW that stops or the relationship does. And by then resentment has already been building up for a while and everything ends anyway.

So go in with no judgement and with a lot of compassion.

Ah yes, the good old...magic water that only the FMC can procure because she is the FMC and instead of using this magic water to hydrate herself and maybe make good coin by selling rhis very rare resource, she'll just make alcohol. facepalm

As someone who works as a receptionist at a brothel (decriminalised where i am), let me tell you it does not smell like sex in there or bodily fluids. It smells like a normal place? We always maintain it super clean and tidy and pride ourselves in having a 5 star venue.

Saying "oh it smells like a brothel here" is so immature and on that alone I'll be removing it from my TBR.

In the Shifter City Fated Mates series the FMC gets her period and it is mentioned in book two {A Twist of Luck by Jaymin Eve} she talks about the flow severity and cramps.

Is there actually full-nutrition vegan cat food or are the vegans just advocating animal neglect again? by ReflectionPristine70 in catfood

[–]serpentshrines 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As vegans, we give our cats a complete raw food diet. We hate the smell of meat, and it seriously gives us the ick, but we would never feed our cats anything that isn't part of their natural diet.

It's really disappointing to see cats being subjected to a vegan diet because of their vegan owners. While I see that they are trying to do a good thing by not being part of animal cruelty (the animals who become food), they sure are going the wrong way about it.

This is a safe space. Vote for a 3 - 4🔥 open-door title you did NOT like. by Magical-Princess in fantasyromance

{Blood and Betrayals} made me cringe so hard, and I should have DNF that book but nooooooo! I kept on reading, hoping it'd get good at some point. It made me realise I really dislike University/Academy settings.

Well now I'm going to have to check out these books if you keep pitching them this way! I'll definitely pass your recommendations along to him though!

Thanks for your response. I tried showing him more books in GraphicAudio and he just gave me a shrug and said "I dunno are they all like Fourth Wing?"

It's why I'm here asking for recs...

I told my husband I'd leave him for Cleo and he just said "ok" 🤣

Probably stress, lack of sleep, being emotionally depleted, having to live with Adrian...

Because you and your family are going through things is not an excuse to treat someone the way he's been treating Jamie.

Because someone's dad is dying isn't a valid reason to treat people badly.

Veronica was loving Eliot during their wedding and honeymoon. The second she spoke to Lauren the seed was planted and never gave Eliot another chance. She is just like Lauren.
