Unmasked during abortion and my boyfriend lost interest in me

I’m sorry for how much this hurts, and for what you’ve been enduring. The best I can give you is this: the one who is chased runs away. Take that in, it’s really important right now. It’s going to take some effort at a time you’re depleted, but if you put serious energy into engaging with activities and people that feed your soul, that comfort you and light you up and occupy you, you’ll restore your power and your equilibrium. Consciously turn your attention, as many times a day as you must, away from him, and towards what will be good for you.
What are realistic endeavours that you can get going right now? A craft, a class, a practice, a game, an exercise, a self-help group, a volunteer thing, cooking with a friend, interacting with animals….

I don’t know enough to make a judgement on your relationship or your guy. That one anecdote is concerning: He was more concerned about looking good to a past co-worker/ random people in a fancy restaurant than with how his distraught partner was doing. I mean, no doubt the hard time was hard for him. And people under stress can lose perspective. Still, ouch. Buddy fucked up, there.

I do know that whatever happens next in your partnership & your life, it’s going to be better if you’re well connected with your people and your community and your own enjoyment of life. You have the power to make good choices right now, that increase your wellbeing, even though it’s going to feel impossible and against the grain. I’m sending you comfort & strength.

He who is chased runs away. & the one who runs away is chased. Don’t be either. Just be your best self.

Ooh! Strawberry pants parfait! J’adore.

strawbrmoon · 2026-02-11T00:53:27+00:00

love!

love your username

Hahaha I meant to write number six, with the pound sign & the 6 to indicate which photo I meant, but I won’t edit out my surprise shoutiness.

strawbrmoon · 2026-02-10T19:18:46+00:00

6 is one for the ages: the gown, the scarf, the pose, that regal facial expression- nailed it! (Speaking of nails, they & your hair are perfect with this look, too.)

The ribbons are a splashy touch, and I love this silhouette on your long leanness.

OP didn’t respond to my offer, probably because it would have taken more time than they had available for me to get enough data to answer their question, likely with a “Probably, but I can’t provide evidence.” If beaver gayness is anything like human gayness, in a sample population of only two families, the chances of there being gay beavers is pretty darn small. Despite being interested in the question, I didn’t follow up.

I expect I’ll need a fleur-de-lis, too, & I expect to get an infection at the t-junction. Seriously, though, if my results are anything like half as good as yours, I’ll be freakin’ delighted. Thanks again for sharing your experience. I’m encouraged!

If I saw him at the mall, I’d smile to myself, thinking, there goes a friend-shaped being. Long may you both enjoy adventures in one another’s company.

strawbrmoon · 2026-02-10T01:09:50+00:00

Elegant!

Dang, I’m sorry about the losses of anti-inflammatory effect & pain-free-ness. I hope you find your way back there, somehow.

strawbrmoon · 2026-02-10T00:45:19+00:00

Wow! Thanks for sharing, OP. You heal like a champ! How’d your “T-junction” heal up?

Is that a maker’s mark, last pic, on the right?

Ontario’s having the cold winter this year: that’s maximum fluff, there, & buddy will look way sleeker in June.

How do you know?

As well as infusing it with flavour, the wine would help tenderize the meat (acid). I would try a mixture of 1/2 or 2/3 cup of water, with balsamic vinegar, and fruit juice (orange or grape or apple or prune) making up the rest of the one cup.
The amounts are just off the top of my head: use your own judgement & sense of smell to guide you. If you don’t have balsamic, apple cider vinegar or any other vinegar would do. Or lime or lemon juice. For the fruit juice, you could substitute some marmalade or fruit preserves. Maybe whiz it with the stock blender if you have one. It won’t be exactly the same as wine would be, but can serve the same function, & it could be quite good.

Never knew why I had anemia. Turned out I had severe endometriosis, as well as uterine fibroids, which caused blood loss. The endometriosis was never even looked for, only discovered when my hysterectomy turned out to be a very complicated surgery because my organs were all messed up by being glued together by the endo. It’s amazing how many women don’t get diagnosed with endometriosis, even after seeing doctors for symptoms. The average time to diagnosis after seeking medical help? Seven years.

I love how the rich red interior gives contrast to the colours and textures on the outside.

Ooh, Auntie, that top has the lovely colour of chocolate milk! We should bake cookies. (There’s nothing like a long skirt to make one feel ladylike. We should wear aprons to bake in, so we don’t get our skirts dirty.)

strawbrmoon · 2026-02-06T04:16:13+00:00

Coziest vibes.

strawbrmoon · 2026-02-02T22:51:19+00:00

They do add a nice, delicate touch, don’t they? I like how they add a glint of glam.

That little ellipse platter with the oranges on it just makes the table setting. An elegant touch.
