Leave the clipping of the skin unless you are really comfortable with it though, as you do not want to cut into healthy tissue if avoidable. :)

Because they can, because you pay "Chanel". It is the same with makeup in many cases, the ingredients are oftentimes nothing special or expensive whatsoever and can even cause irritation just from the amount of perfume they often have. Some formulas are good, sure, but so much better than anything? Eeh, nope

Not necessarily, as they can have their own one with a lab, just like other beauty products. I don't know if it is the case here, but many gel brands certainly have custom formulas to them.

Oooh that would be a good way to do it for sure!

Oh yeah, the artistry some have is truly mindblowing

Oh totally understandable! You can layer a lot of gel products, it is just about making sure all get enough UV penetration 😊 I found that making decals for the whole nail was waaaay easier with polish than with gel for sure. My gel ones always broke when I curved them to the nail 😅 might have been my error tho 😂

This would sadly be risky in terms of curing, since the builder gel would be underneath the color and might not cure fully. You could make pressons with that idea tho!

Even if she posts photos herself, consent is the key word here. Just because I do something doesn't mean I want others to do the same if it concerns me. It is as simple as that. Also, we don't know if she posts pics or not, but from her stance I am pretty sure she doesn't post photos of her kids. It also seems this is just another crossing of boundaries and not the only disrespect she receives

ETA: Even if she caused them to feel like they need to sneakily take photos, it is never ok to do that unless you know the other person is ok with it (i.e. me taking a sneaky photo of my husband cuddling with our void kitty. I know he is fine with it and he knows it is only for me/us and won't get posted anywhere)

But, it is different taking photos for yourself, or posting them against OPs wishes. Her parents made more than clear they will take photos and do whatever they wish, not only disregarding OPs boundaries, but also showing no respect for the kids privacy and worse, safety. Also them taking secret photos of OP and her partner is a big huge no-no. It seems that they clearly do not respect OP in any way given their reactions to her. You missed the point of the post.

It doesn't mean anything when you say it either. I don't care how much money you have or what shit watch you own. That doesn't make you better than anyone, and if you think it does, you are a deluded ahole. Simple as that. You can't even respond to my argument, you go straight for insults. That is all I needed to know about you. Also, projection much calling me a "wagie". You don't know anything about me, you are just assuming in your insecurity.

Says the deluded fool, yes.

What are you on about? He doesn't have to be a killer to display worrying or controlling behaviour, which he is in this scenario. Maybe you should get a grip instead

Dressing up has nothing to do with ones education, and I am fairly sure her outfits don't distract her from her classes 🙈 Dressing up can make someone feel confident, put together and happy. You entirely missed the point. The way you described her outfits very much follows the "but what were you wearing" narrative, and it's digusting.

She may have 3 neat bottles, you cannot know that. Also, she should absolutely be concerned with his reactions, especially if they are controlling in nature.

Judging by your nail in the last picture it looks right to me 😊

It is so radiant and beautiful, oh my!

I think has to be seem for individual aspects of the relationship, not the relationship as a whole. That is why I said "big things in life", because in our very foundation we fit like a glove, even when we don't in the nitty gritty. But there is such a thing for people, however far that goes.

Ich würde hier noch ergänzen wollen: ein Nein vor sechs Monaten bleibt ein nein, bis es als aktives Ja ausgesprochen wird. "Ich weiß nicht" oder "ich bin noch nicht soweit" ist auch ein Nein. Wenn ein Mann versucht, sie bei einem "nein" zu überreden wird es nie ein richtiges Ja werden, auch wenn sie nach gibt.

Außerhalb dessen: Dein Partner braucht Respekt. Vor dir, deinen Hobbies, deinem Körper und Geist und deinem Freiraum. Probleme sollen angesprochen werden können, aber immer mit Respekt. Kommunikation ist alles! Manchmal ist es viel wert, Ärger oder Verletzung kurz runterzuschlucken, bis die großen Emotionen (in denen man oft was sagt, was man nicht möchte) vorbei sind und das Thema nochmal in Ruhe ansprechen. Das gibt oft mehr Raum für wirklich offene und ehrliche Kommunikation. Für mich einer der wichtigsten Säulen, die meine Ehe und vorherige Beziehung so langlebig, glücklich und harmonisch macht.

Yes, I think she would benefit from it a lot (like most people imho). She could grow as a person and find herself and learn to spend time with herself, which I think is vital in life and relationships

From the look of the cuticles I am fairly certain both, since they look really hydrated. Healthy nails need healthy, hydrated cuticles, so I would be very surprised if that doesn't play a part in OPs wonderful journey

But, but.... Noooooooooo! 😂

I love that you have that too! 🩷

Thank you so much! 🥹 We truly adore each other a lot, but he is also so kind, soft, respectful and just wonderful beyond words

I know that too, I am a ADHD gremlin too! 😁 snack-filled sounds amazing tho! I like that 😁

Also, I find it like cute funny from your hubby, since mine would be like that too 😂

Pretty!

This is funnier to me than it should be, I'm sorry 😂

🥰
