BECAUSE SHE PROPOSED TO ME OMGGGGG

Was supporting her right after a very important surgery, I was struggling , so cuddles, as much as we could, and she dropped the big question

"Will you marry me?"

Cue me making all sorts of flustered noises I half remember and about 30 yesses......

This is a good life, she is the most incredible person I have ever met and there's none other I'd want to spend life with :3

Any takers for a new term? Didn't know people weren't fans of it lol

Mabye my autism is preventing me from understanding, but I feel like it’s not healthy to feel you have to “make up” for something you don’t have instead of viewing it has an additional option.

I am genuinely yearning to find the love I draw 😭 desperately need a gf/partner, to grow and love together !!!!!

Would to so amazing to find a muse and draw them aaaaaaa

Anyway here are my girls and they are so in love !!

There's a woman I started talking to on Reddit almost 3 years ago, we've been friends. Had ups and downs, fights and make-ups. We've never talked on voice and I'd never seen a picture of her til today.

A couple years ago we talked about dating, but she refused unless I sent her nudes. I'm old fashioned and don't believe in things like that. I don't ask for things like that because it would put the other woman in danger. I felt pressured, but refused. True to her word, things between us never changed.

Recently she mentioned thinking about coming to see me, she's one state away from me. So it would be a simple drive. While I don't try to date anymore, I was interested in hanging out with her and possibly starting a friends with benefits situation. Today she tells me that she won't come visit me unless I send nudes. She has seen pictures of me with clothes, but only a couple more private zoomed in pictures of certain body parts. I'm feeling frustrated and pressured. And I don't like it. She says I'm overreacting. I don't even want to deal with the situation anymore. I haven't been in a intimate or romantic relationship in a very long time. Is this the new normal?

I honestly feel physically sick that it's come to this. I love her, she loves me, we are engaged, we should have been planning a wedding. We have 4 animals and I'm the foster parent for her little brother. This wasn't how things were supposed to go (I guess it never really is, is it?) beyond gutted but the second chances ran out at the 3450th and I don't know what to do with myself. We are still living together, under the same roof but separately until she finds herself somewhere because I can't and won't see her on the streets and I just don't know what to do with myself. Theres a dread I can't shift because I know things for her are about to spiral out of control and I dont think I'll be able to cope if I get the news that she's taken it too far and died. My mind is totally gone right now. I don't want it to be this way and I don't want her to leave but the unsustainability reached it's peak and there's only so many lies and broken promises and worrying when she goes missing for days consuming class A's that a person can take

This probably isn't the right sub and may get removed to be honest and that may be for the best. I don't know any more.

Maybe the title is an exaggeration but this really does enrage me. As you can see, it says this person is coupled and also you can see she says “girls like girls who don’t steal someone’s boyfriend”. There was also a photo of her boyfriend.

This is on a lesbian dating app called Her. A LESBIAN DATING APP. First of all, I’m bisexual so I’m not gonna be one of those people condemning bisexuals up in here cause that’s biphobic, but I will certainly condemn the fact that there’s FAR too many bi women with boyfriends looking for thirds on lesbian dating apps, it’s genuinely so saddening to see those profiles when I’m just trying to get a monogamous girlfriend without men involved damnit.

Second, the NERVE of this woman to say some shit like “don’t steal my boyfriend!” As if anyone on there would EVER want to do that. BECAUSE ITS A LESBIAN DATING APP WHERE WLW LOOK FOR OTHER WLW SOHCKSBDJFND *enraged keyboard smash* Like you have got to be fucking kidding me.

Plus, holy shit, if your very first introduction to a potential third in your relationship is “hey, don’t steal my boyfriend!” Then you should probably realize that you’re a monogamous person and steer clear of threesomes cause you’re clearly uncomfortable with this!!

Sorry for the rant but this profile just made me irate lol, sadly it is super common to see these kinds of profiles but this one just hit a nerve.

TW - homophobia/bigotry

As the title says - my wife and I went out for breakfast a few days ago, something that we rarely do so we were both really happy and excited. I'm disabled and walk with a quad cane and need her to support me to go very far, so we lock arms when we walk to avoid me falling. As we were coming out of the place we heard a man scream something, then he turned his truck and flew into the lot. He burst out and started screaming every slur he could at us in between comments of "Jesus loves you" and shit like that.

Now we live in an area that has never been safe for queer people, but incidents like this didn't start happening until around 2020. This is the third time someone has basically come after us, the worst time being when we were followed home from a Walmart and this man threatened to sick his dog on us (who was thankfully the sweetest little puppy just happy to be out and about).

My wife is an amazingly strong woman, she handled it with such grace and she made sure to not let it ruin her day, but I on the other hand, am still being affected. We are very poor and I'm on disability so moving is not an option but I wish there was something we could do. I'm disabled so I can't keep her safe, and my wife is masc presenting and we're both heavily punk. I'm so worried that anytime I send her out she's in danger. A few years ago my cane also was enough to give us deniability so we only got dirty looks but that doesn't seem to matter to bigots anymore.

Are there any other wlw out there going through similar experiences? How are you coping? Any advice or well wishes would also be appreciated. I could really use some positivity right now.

I love Hannah and Juno!

So, earlier today, around like... 5 pm my time, I had to go to the store to pick up some things. Before I even got there I ended up going the wrong way just out of habit so I decided I would pick up the things I needed at the convenience store that was in the direction I was headed instead of at the grocery store like I had originally planned.

Anyway, I get there and we both immediately looked at each other but at the time I didn't realize she worked there. I just thought, oh hey, that's a pretty girl, smiled and kept going to get what I needed.

She looks over at me again as I'm going between aisles grabbing what I need. By the time I'm ready to pay she's behind the register helping other people purchase their things.

So, it gets to my turn and I compliment her on her hair color (it was a pretty purple) and mentioned I'm getting mine colored in about a month but that I haven't decided what color yet, I was kinda hoping she would recommend one. She thanked me and mentioned how she does it herself (in a really cute way, touching her hair at the same time) and at that point my brain had already packed up and left the building. So I just made a surprised face and nodded like an idiot. She asked me if I wanted to use the extra money discount thing I had from shopping there regularly and I said of course and put in my info for that. Then she asks if I would like a bag and I say please. So she puts everything in it and says I can take it when I'm ready so I say thanks and pick it up and start walking out and she starts giggling but doesn't say anything so I was like maybe she thought I was cute too and was flustered? But now I'm thinking maybe she was laughing because I was walking out without paying like an idiot.

I noticed I don't have a receipt and there's no transaction on my bank account so I'm freaking out now hoping she wont get in trouble at her job and also about how I'm going to fix this dumb situation I've gotten myself into because pretty girls make me weak and stupid and they stunlock me.

Help

So my gf and I (both 25f) got into a huge fight this morning. We never fight and this fight was huge. It's been bothering me all day and I'm currently writing this post while on my lunch break at work because I can't focus on anything else. I've been getting into fitness lately. I've been going to the gym a lot and I've been working on getting leaner and building more muscle. It's important to note that I've always struggled with body image issues. I struggled with an ED for a while but I got help and I'm better now. I haven't struggled with food or body image issues for over a year now. My gf knows about this and she's always been very supportive.

Anyways, I started intermittent fasting and weighing my food lately. This is completely normal for someone that's trying to get leaner and build muscle but apparently it caused alarm bells to go off in my gfs head. She told me this morning thats she's worried about me because I've been skipping meals and obsessing over what I eat lately. I tend to get defensive anytime someone is worried about me. I got defensive and I told her that I'm fine and she shouldn't be worried. My tone wasn't the best and then we started going back and forward. This post would be too long if I were to detail our entire fight. The fight ended with both of us yelling at each other and my gf calling me stubborn. Then we both left for work and we haven't spoken to each other all day.

I'm aware that I'm probably the asshole here. I don't know why I got so defensive instead of simply explaining to my gf that she has nothing to worry about. I should have explained what I'm doing and why it's not the same as an ED. I do understand where she's coming from and I get that she's just worried about me. I can be stubborn and I get uncomfortable whenever someone I care about is worried about me. It's also a sensitive topic for me and I don't really like talking about it. I don't know how to make it up to her. I already texted her to apologize but she hasn't even read the message yet.

TLDR: I'm an idiot that got mad because my girlfriend cares about me

It’s always like the most down-bad posts too that just make this place seem full of gooners, or posts that seem designed to rage bait/foment discourse, but it’s literally just a handful of brand new accounts with little to no post history outside of near-daily posts in this subreddit. It’s giving astroturf and they’re starting to dominate the subreddit.

Idk if this kind of meta discussion is allowed but it’s becoming a more and more noticeable problem. I’m just wondering if anyone else is concerned by it. Hopefully this is vague enough to stay a general discussion of the state of the sub.
