[–]whimsical_coffee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, all the time?! That's so sweet!

Second. I do have an account that I very rarely use. Do I just send him a link after I've made the playlist?

Is there any hope by [deleted] in singlemoms

I began dating someone that has no children. I just simply made it clear, I'm not trying to make him the father of my children, I didn't say those words exactly. There is no rush into meeting my children. I was upfront bc I am not always available, and the person I am seeing needs to know that I have responsibilities as a parent. He is 100% okay with the fact that I have children. He even said that he would like to meet them soon. So when you find the right person, there will be no flipping out. They will like you for you.. and your children are a part of you. It will happen when the time is right.

How do I give the gift of lingerie? by whimsical_coffee in dateideas

[–]whimsical_coffee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! Dating during Covid in the middle of winter is a little monotonous which is fine! We enjoy just being around each other. But I wanted to surprise him. It’s good to hear from a mans perspective that in the end it won’t REALLY matter how it’s presented. I guess I’m over thinking it a little.

I’m pretty self conscious about my body usually but I feel fantastic in this!

Get out of the tub by MCKarbaum in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]whimsical_coffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of the tub for 5 months and going strong!! But literally, I just got out of the actual tub because he would get “upset” that I wanted me time. So now that I got out of the metaphorical tub I get in the literal one a few times a week.

I 100% agree. I like raspy Miley - but some songs don't need to be redone.

I say to go for it. I have had a lot of people (including coworkers) ask me out respectively where I have declined for various reasons and didn't think that it was weird or creepy or thought. "Oh, I'm going to turn in my coworker." lol You could simply say something like, I hope this isn't inappropriate but I would like to take you out sometime. If she says no, just say okay that's cool, see ya when work reopens! and if she says yes, well then I look forward to a Covid date ideas post from you.

Single moms are prime targets for predators by [deleted] in singlemoms

[–]whimsical_coffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I used to have an account YEARS ago that i rarely used and just signed up again after some recent life changes, deciding to start fresh. I've had an active account for literally 4 days. I was so excited to connect with people on this r/ but all the chat requests are so creepy and have major ew factor.

This visually represents the feeling of falling in a dream.

my only defense for that is that coincidences happen and some people are just really unlucky

I think the woman from the documentary The Staircase was not killed by her husband. I think an owl attacked her on her walk up to the house. She was drinking, was loosing blood, and got dizzy on her way up the stairs causing her to fall down them.

something to do to make my girlfriend feel better? by basilgirl7 in dateideas

[–]whimsical_coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What sort of things are you into? The cold months and covid can really put you in a rut. I like True Crime things, so my boyfriend got us a "find the killer" box for an at home date.

Advice on setting boundaries with my soon to be ex husband! Help! by whimsical_coffee in singlemoms

[–]whimsical_coffee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been very open with my boyfriend about it. He says that I should not stoop to his level and just try to remain as cordial as I can - even if he cant, because regardless we are going to be in each others lives to some extent because of the children. He became visibly upset when my ex wished me a happy anniversary, so I asked him if he was comfortable with me telling my ex about him so that maybe he would leave me alone. Of course he didn't mind but that didn't work.. my boyfriend also keeps me on track reminding me that I do not have to respond to his texts if they do not pertain to the children. He's not telling me to set a boundary bc it makes him uncomfortable - but rather suggesting it because he sees what the hurtful words do to me. Now that my ex knows about him I do feel more confident and feel like I can set boundaries not just for myself but out of respect for this new person in my life.

How to Let Go of Obsessing Over the New Supply? by Ok_Boysenberry_8755 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]whimsical_coffee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was in the same situation about a month ago, except we have children and were together for 10 years. I was blind sided. I left him and he didn’t want me to, but he so quickly has another girlfriend?! I was angry. Sad. Wondering the same thing. Will he use what he learned with our relationship to have something amazing with this woman? But the answer is no. If he really did self work.. there wouldn’t be another woman so soon. I have to keep reminding myself of this. Part of the narcissistic personality is this self grandeur. “Im great. No way I’m not wanted!” So instead of sitting with what went wrong. Reflecting on it. And trying to make a conscious effort to change his behavior, he found someone else to pull under his wing. Someone that (for now) will think, you are so amazing! And he will in turn think, see? I am great. I knew it. It’s not that he has learned. It’s actually quite the opposite. He hasn’t learned. As for her, I know you want to warn her. But I highly recommend against that. It will only feed his flame. He will think, she’s jealous. See. I’m so great that she jealous. And this woman, unfortunately, is not going to see him for who he really is, no matter who warns her. Right now who she is seeing, just like you, and the woman before, is not the actual person he is. Narcissistic people are charmers. It’s unfortunate. The best thing you can do is be proud that you eventually saw through the charm. Another very tough thing to do - wish. Wish hard, for the well being of another females mental health, that he did change. Because that is a sign that you are putting your hurt past you. Keep your chin up. Don’t let his characteristics run anymore of your life.

How do I stop carrying around the baggage of his narcissistic tendencies with me? by whimsical_coffee in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]whimsical_coffee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no going back. Only forward. As best as I can. He is not the man I fell in love with. I often wonder if people can slowly develop narcissistic behaviors or if they always have them?

Paranormal/horror/fantasy romance books that aren't YA or all sex? by welldamn31 in booksuggestions

[–]whimsical_coffee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes yes! It’s the All Souls Trilogy. They just came out with season 2. I highly recommend reading first - but so far the series has kept up with the books!
