Sometimes I shave, sometimes I don’t. I will say that once I went for 5 months without shaving my legs to see if my then husband would notice. He never did. Eventually it was spring and I gave up and started shaving again. And am now divorcing him.

I think that is really common in general. My former MIL remarried within a year of her husband’s death. My grandpa remarried within a year of his wife of 30+ year’s death. And my dad was dating within 2 months of my mom to whom he’d been married 40 year’s death. People crave love and companionship and it is scary for…

Yeah, I read the clan of the cave bears at a very young age. I still vividly remember some of those scenes...

Beautiful. I will come visit some day.

I’m in!

Well shoot. I am now going to spend the rest of my afternoon looking at French real estate and dreaming of buying a chateau.

Welp. I just ordered a smokey pallet for my partner’s 14 year old daughter, one for my sister, and one for me. Now we can be matchy matchy? great deal.

I’m so sorry to hear that! We can do all we can to be healthy but there are so many things out of our control.

Yes, intelligent, strong women can be in abusive relationships! thanks for this comment.

That’s terrible. I am so sorry, it was not your fault. I can relate to the not trusting your own judgement part of your story so much. I stayed with my fiance for several months after he raped me; and it messed with my head so bad. It honestly took me a long time to admit that it was rape, and it made me feel so dumb…

I would star this a thousand times if I could. My fiance of many years ago raped me. The rape itself was traumatic of course, but worse than that it really fucked up my ideas of love and relationships for a long time. I couldn’t open up or trust men. I got into relationships with men I felt like I was stronger than or…

Well damn it. There goes my 2017 resolution to cut back on water and increase my alcohol intake.

Fuck I hadn’t thought of that. Can’t wait for this damn year to be over.

This woman sounds like a badass. My 90 year old grandpa who is in glowing health also never drinks water, he only drinks coffee, wine, and hard alcohol, preferring whiskey and gin to other options. Maybe there’s something to that?

I relate to this. I didn’t wear make up for a long time. I also never wore skirts and had short hair, I was rejecting the “feminine” because I thought it was lesser. Now I personally admit that I love make up and I like wearing skirts. I no longer see “feminine” as lesser. That is just my personal preference, to each…

I’ve heard that may happen, but I have not had issues so far. I’m pretty careful with it though.

I definitely found it painful, but it was bearable. It was kind of bad cramps.

You raise a really good point about getting an IUD inserted during your period! Thanks!

I’ve had both, honestly I didn’t notice a big difference in the pain level from either. For what my anecdata is worth.

Oh wow that sounds horrible! I didn’t find the 2 IUDs I’ve had all that painful, luckily! Maybe I have a big uterus LOL.
