And some women are scared to say “No” or told they should say “No”. Invite the No when you ask
All the uncles on my wives side of the family are so useless at Thanksgiving. They don’t cook, clean, clear their plate or even make their own plate. Its one of the most infuriating thing I have ever seen.

Relationship Advice@lemmy.world•How important is chemistry/attraction? Can it develop over time?English
4·2 months agoI do think there is an innate chemistry and attraction between certain people. This chemistry and ebb and flow over time and in general it can be cultivated to a certain extent but it mostly hardwired. I do think if you want a relationship that sexually exclusive and satisifying you will need to priortize it at the beginning because sexual attraction does tend to decrease over decades long relationships. That being said it sometimes takes a few months and times together (intimately) to understand a spark
That being said, there are a lot of people who mistake drama for sexual attraction / chemisty. This is a common mistake especially if you are coming a relationships from your young adult / teenage years. So make sure what you are missing is attraction / chemistry not drama. Also note that most people intencity of emotions decreases after the young adult / teenage years so the attraction / chemistry may feel different.
Long and short. If you truly belive you don’t / can’t be attracted to this person and want a sexuality exclusive relationships it isn’t crazy to break up with them. But ensure that what you are looking for isn’t just drama in your life and set relatistic expectation of what attraction looks like.

I saw it last night in my backyard in the middle of the city. It was dim with the naked eye but much clearer from my phone. If I planned ahead I could have found somewhere dark

8·3 months agoI am reading (maybe re-reading) The House of the Spirits. A friend said we read it in high school and I do remember reading One Hundred Years of Solitude in highschool as part of a magical realism unit but I can’t really remember if I did the House of the Spirits. Its great and I can’t put it down.

No Lawns@slrpnk.net•Wood mulch is not as helpful as you thinkEnglish
6·3 months agoThis does seem to be hyperbole but I would say we should use less wood mulch. (and like you mentioned use something like chipdrop which will actually decompose. It doesn’t help that words like mulch have so many different meanings that it sometimes means nothing. I have found that mulching around plants with straw or hays has been the best so far. Gives a clean look, supresses weeds, and decomposes so fast.
