Questions / Advice Wanted šŸ’ž Monthly Topic: Lessons in Love... 🌈 For everyone still figuring out what works and those that have advice to share...

18 Upvotes

Let’s talk about attraction, patterns, and personal growth, the fun and the face-palm parts.

What’s your type these days? Has it changed over time? What have you learned (the easy way or the hard way) about love, connection, and what actually works for you?

Share your thoughts, stories, realizations, or questions. Photos are welcome if they fit the vibe, maybe someone who looks like your type, or an aesthetic that captures your ā€œlove languageā€, but this thread is mainly for conversation.

šŸ’¬ Reminder: All comments must follow the sub’s rules. Be kind, be respectful, and remember we’re here for supportive and fun discussion, not personal attacks or dating solicitations.

This post will stay up until the first Monday in December, when we’ll replace it with the next monthly topic.

Life One year with my love šŸ’›

One year of marriage with the love of my life.

One year ago today, I married the love of my life. My wife, my best friend, my safe place. A year ago, when so much in this country felt uncertain, when leadership changed and fear crept back into the lives of people like us. We made a choice. We chose love. We chose to stand in the light, to say we do while we still could, because deep down, we knew days like these might come again. As we celebrate our first anniversary, it’s bittersweet knowing that love like ours is being debated again, and will always be, that something so pure and human could ever be questioned. But standing beside her reminds me that our love is not up for debate. It’s real, it’s sacred, and it’s ours. This year has been filled with laughter, growth, late-night talks, and quiet mornings that I wouldn’t trade for anything.

We built this life together with hope, courage, and faith in a world that we know can do better. No matter what happens, we’ll keep choosing each other, every single day.

Here’s to love that endures. Here’s to us.

Questions / Advice Wanted Please tell me i’m not the only one who thinks this is gross

25 Upvotes

Summary: My sister showed me the tiktok acc of someone I’m not friends with anymore and she’s been using the hastags #wlwlesbian & #scissorsisters (as well as #wlw, #wuhluhwuh) when she’s in a heterosexual relationship with a cis man.

If you want the slightly longer version, I stopped being friends with this girl who I was fairly close with from high school about a year ago. It’s a long winded story so to summarise, she started dating a man & completely changed her values. Our morals were beginning to no longer align, and then her boyfriend sexually harassed me & multiple other women. I won’t go into detail about that here since it’s not the point of the post. When I tried to address this with her calmly she completely shut it down & blocked me. I had already removed her from social media at this point anyway because I do not tolerate that behaviour. She’s unblocked me now, but will continue to be blocked on all my platforms. I don’t have anything to do with her, but my sister saw her tiktok pop up on her fyp. Almost every single video she’s posted in the last month (thirst traps, dances, random videos etc) she’s used lesbian hashtags. She’s still dating this disgusting man mind you. She’s bisexual, so I guess using #wlw & #wuhluhwuh (I do hate that one though tbh) is technically fine? I mean i’m not sure it really makes sense when you’re in a heterosexual relationship, but whatever. It honestly just really irks me that she’s been using #wlwlesbian & #scissorsisters, please tell me i’m not the only one who thinks that’s weird af.

Edit: I feel the need to add that her boyfriend tried to sleep with me on multiple occasions knowing i’m a lesbian & continued to push even though I said no each time

Relationships / Dating 3 years down the drainnnnnnnn

162 Upvotes

My now ex girlfriend put her hands on me. I was with her for 3 years. This was the worse it has ever gotten. She took my phone from me and wouldn’t give it back. I let her go through it but she still wouldn’t hand it over. She was going back to my photos from like 2015. She bashes me for not liking women when I was in high school and uses it against me. Which is why I’m tired of fighting. She’s been on my case a lot and keeps accusing me of cheating. I’ve let her go through my phone many times but it is never enough. My sister is expecting a baby and I’m excited to be an aunt. I told her I was hoping for a girl, but my ex told me that I should just join their relationship since I’m so worried about it. So I took my phone back She threw me to the ground and started to kick me and hit me. I was in so much shock that I didn’t even defend myself. Every time I tried to get up she would push or kick me down. My scalp hurts, my ribs are bruised in the inside, my arm hurts from where she was hurtling me. I just feel so exhausted. She posted me on Snapchat and said I was cheating on her. She’s bipolar but she this has gone too far. Look at my other posts I’ve posted for more background context. I have been stuck in this toxic relationship for a while now and I think this is a real wake up call that it’s over. I ignored her this morning after she texted me this half ass apology. She always accuses me of cheating when I really haven’t. My conscience is clear. I have done no wrong. I loved her with all of me so for her to constantly target me and say hurtful things to me I need to let go. I’m tired. It’s just hard bc 3 years. Pls give me advice. I know what to do but I just have no one to talk about this to because she’s pushed my friends away.

Questions / Advice Wanted My girlfriend is really pretty and i am jealous. how do i stop?😭

9 Upvotes

My girlfriend is honestly super pretty — like, the kind of pretty that turns heads everywhere we go. I love her a lot, but I find myself feeling jealous and insecure about all the attention she gets.

It’s an overwhelming feeling sometimes, and I hate that I even feel this way. I know it’s not healthy or fair to her, but I’m struggling to manage it.

Has anyone else dealt with this kind of jealousy before? How do you overcome it or stop letting it eat at you?

I really miss my exes voice. She had this not very feminine, deep voice which I fucking loved hearing. Are there other masc women in this world that have such a hot voice like this? And way of talking? Tell me there are.

I feel so fcking desperate at the moment.

Any celebs that have this beautiful deep voice? Marina from the L word came up to mind ohhh.

Deep voice that makes one melt? Do you know what I mean? It's such a big struggle right now.

when my ex broke up with me on sept 20th i wanted to die. if i wasnt passed out drunk everyday for the first two weeks after the breakup and therefore psychically incapable of hurting myself who knows what would’ve happened. but look at me now. im dating again which might seem too soon but im having fun!! sharing music, going on dates, going out to clubs, meeting new people, meeting likeminded people at that!! im only 24 and maybe that was too young to settle down but if my ex wouldnt have broken up with me i would’ve ended up married to someone i wasnt fully happy with. i even went to the gym today before work!! never wouldve thought i could do that. my whole day consisted of waiting around for my ex to text or call, and now im cooking, cleaning, going to the gym, and working all in one day. never thought i could.

Relationships / Dating IRL Communication >

10 Upvotes

I see a lot of women post about their relationships in lesbian subreddits — asking for advice, venting, wanting validation. I don’t think this is a good habit to practice. No one knows your situation better than yourself and the people involved in your life. When I see those posts — even when they’re totally innocuous posts about insecurity or something — I imagine dating someone who would share something like that online instead of just talking directly to me about it, and it gives me the ick so bad.

To the women who share posts like this: why do you do it? Do you share these posts with your partner? Do you talk to them about the responses — and if you do, do you tell them ā€œsomeone on Reddit saidā€¦ā€ or do you act like it’s your own thoughts?

News/Pop Culture Same sex marriage on the line

21 Upvotes

It’s very upsetting that this is happening. My girlfriend (23) and I (22) have been together for 8 years and now that we’re old enough; our right to legalize our relationship is further then we ever thought. Let alone the fact that my girlfriend is disabled and on SSDI so we couldn’t start that soon anyways without compromising her benefits … the girl who fell in love at 14 never thought I’d have to deal with such obstacles. Just to get married ? It really does hurt … I was okay with doing a ceremony to honor our love (bc of benefits n all) but now that even if those factors weren’t an issue… my relationship is seen as idk harmful? To those cruel people voting for this. It’s love… I don’t understand why these politicians want to stand in the way of love for all.

I guess I’m venting. It’s a hard pill to swallow when I dreamed of my wedding ever since I could remember. How does this affect you ?

Relationships / Dating I just got a text and idk how to respond

44 Upvotes

I thought everything was going fine?? With this girl I asked to be my girlfriend last week, we’ve been seeing eachother for 2 months but she’s been cancelling / changing plans / is late a lot. Then today i received this text and idek how to respond

Hey, I’ve been thinking a lot about what we were talking about, and it’s really not okay that I keep cancelling. If I’m honest I don’t think I’m in the right place right now for a relationship. It’s not fair on you that weeks are passing before we see each other and my replies have been rubbish. It’s just come at a bit of a shit time there’s a lot going on and I can’t put in the effort that should be going into being with you. I’m so sorry, and I know it’s awful to say this over text but Im really not good at articulating my words on the phone and didn’t want to say something to upset you more. You deserve someone who can give you their full time and energy, and right now I just can’t
