.05% tret + 10% azelaic acid?

Is it safe to use these two together? I recently upped my tret % from .025 to .05, been a couple weeks and no negative reaction other that very slight dryness around the mouth the first couple days. I was using the .025% tret with the same % of azelaic acid as well. Wondering if anyone else has experience with this same combination?

Clarity spell?

Had a guy friend tell me he wants to manipulate and convince this girl he went on two dates with to fall in love with him and change her plans to move out of state so she can stay with him. I called him out for it and told him that's not how you should start a relationship, but he did so anyways and told me last week that they're now dating. I'm disgusted by his actions and we're no longer friends. I'm wondering if there's a clarity spell or something I can do for this girl to see him for what he is and what he's doing? Or if there's something else that would work best.

Nobu?

Got invited to Nobu for a friends birthday in a couple weeks. I've always had a white fish and shellfish allergy so even pre vegan it was never a spot I went to. How are the vegan options there and would it be a substantial enough dinner? Ty in advance!

Edit: I've looked at the menu and some articles about it (most of which are older) so I know there are SOME vegan options!

Never felt so low

I've been seeing someone casually for a couple of months now. We've both been on the same page about keeping things non-exclusive and not looking for anything serious, and it's honestly been nice as I'm recently out of a long term relationship.

Recently, he's been on a couple dates with this other person and says he is starting to fall in love with them. I saw him last night, we were having sex, and stopped at one point to hydrate and then he got up to text her. There's a handful of moments throughout my life where I have truly felt worthless, and that moment is now one of them. I was able to snap out of it in the moment, but I still can't shake the feeling. I'm not sure how to talk to him about it, or really even where to go from here.

To clarify it's not like I expected exclusivity, and I'm glad he was honest with me about it, but at the very least I'd appreciate enough respect from him to not stop in the middle of being intimate to text someone else. That made me feel so icky.

Running it's course

I really just need to vent, but also looking for advice because I am dealing with a lot of conflicting feelings. I think my not situationship (me 26F, him 28M) is running it's course. I call it a "not" situationship, because we've stayed on the same page about where we each stand. There are emotions, and we enjoy each other's company a lot, but neither of us are at the point where we want a relationship but still value the connection with another person without the commitment. You could even say we've been using each other (both post breakup), but with regular check-ins on where we're both at. It's been almost 3 months. He came over on Thursday night, we both got pretty drunk and basically danced around the idea of us dating, except it felt like neither of us wanted to admit it. We fell asleep, and spent the next morning and early afternoon together. Communication has been a bit lacking all weekend, which I did expect as we both had a pretty busy weekend. But the more I think about our conversation, the more I think I need to end things. My last relationship was 6 years long, and I feel like I'm still in this girlfriend mode of wanting to "fix" things between us to make things work, but we both went into this knowing it would be temporary. I have an appointment with my therapist in the morning and plan to talk about things with her. I know I'll be okay if we end things, but I will miss him and his company and the potential he had. I feel like I also might just be overhtinking things, and everything is fine and MAYBE it's worth it to talk about the other night again.

Rate of purging

Not sure if this will make sense. I can't tell if I'm beginning to purge or not. I haven't been the most consistent, but probably every other night of applying .025% cream for about a month. I'm getting some deep breakouts but I usually just deal with closed comedones/clogged pores. What I'm wondering is if it'll all purge at the same time? Or does it really vary? The breakouts started within a week of using a new sunscreen. The thing is that the breakouts aren't in spots I have the most clogged pores. I'm just curious and new to the tret game!

Anxiously waiting

My situationship is meeting up with their ex right now to discuss them potentially getting back together. They're confident it's going to happen, and said they'll let me know either way. So I'm just anxiously waiting. This isn't a person I want to date at all, and we're both very much on the same page with that. But I'll be sad to lose the connection and the companionship. Just wanted to vent on here.

I'm 2 weeks into using .025% tret cream. I haven't been the most consistent with applying but on average it's been every other night. No issues or irritation yet. My routine is this:

AM: Cleanse: cerave hydrating cleanser, serum: TO multi-peptide + HA, moisturizer: Vanicream daily facial moisturizer, SPF: skin1004 centella

PM: Cleanse: cerave hydrating cleanser, tretinoin once my skin is dry, then moisturizer

My skin has been LOVING the vanicream. I've honestly noticed a huge difference in how dehydrated my skin was looking. That said I want to incorporate a stronger moisturizer to use after tret. Again I haven't had any adverse reaction yet, I just know the vanicream is pretty light so I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation that's thicker.

Thank you!

I've been sleeping with this guy and the sex is great but for a few days after I'll feel so irritated, itchy, and burning. I got tested and everything came back negative, but I feel like something is up. He said the other day that I smelled and tasted bad and I said my body might just be reacting to him because he never mentined anything. Anyways, I'm familiar with boric acid, but I do feel pretty raw and irritated inside so I'm not sure. I do want some immediate relief
