Ok, I'm sorry, but I just can't do it. If nothing else, the actors ruin it for me. I'm only 28 minutes in and it's just terrible. The only one who fits her role is Heather Graham. The twins are supposed to look small for their age, they look healthy and strong, if anything, they look *big* for their age. Cathy is supposed to have not hit puberty yet, she looks like she's about 15... which is how old she is when they *leave*. Chris looks about 17. Now, I am willing to overlook Cathy's and Chris' appearance, because they look way too old in the 80's movie too; but that grandmother? Hell no. That chick looks old as hell and fragile! She's at *most* the same height as Chris, probably a little shorter. I just watched the part where Corrine removes her blouse and I couldn't help but think *that* Olivia would barely hold power over the twins, much less the other three! *That* Olivia looks like Corrine could easily slap her to the ground and she'd break a hip in the fall. Who chose the cast for this movie? Chris could EASILY overpower *that* Olivia. It's ridiculous. And that scene where she takes Cathy's ring and makes a fist in her face... WHAT was that about? 🙄

I'm writing a short story fantasy for my husband, but I'm planning to post it somewhere online too. Honestly, the bulk of it is just sexual content, and because of that, I'm mentioning genitalia a lot. I really hate repetitive wording though, so while I am mostly using cock and dick, I'm also using other terms. I realize that most people don't like euphemisms, but is it really better to repeat the same two words throughout the story?

So far, some words I've used are: member, shaft, pole, and maybe something else.

On the same note, is it the same for female anatomy? I mostly use pussy, but I've also written: snatch, slit, hole, and tunnel.

Thank you!

I am someone who LOVE feedback. The good stuff motivates me to keep going and the bad stuff helps me improve. I thrive on it.

Over the summer, I took three classes. Two of my professors gave amazing comments, they praised my writing, arguments, and insights but also let me know when I missed something or didn't quite hit the mark. The course calander was full and I knew exactly what was expected and when. I loved it.

Fall semester starts and all my professors have said basically, "you're not being graded on your ability or even the content, just that you're doing the work." What?! I'm a college junior, not a kindergartner. Grade my writing, my understanding, my efforts, leave me feedback! And the calendar? Don't even get me started. It's freaking blank! I like to be able to look at everything I have to do and make a plan, how can I do that without a calendar?

I hate this fluid, do the work and get the A thing. I don't want to feel like I could do the bare minimum and pass. I want to bust my ass and put in the effort AND get the feedback!

Also, one of my professors seriously doesn't understand how much work she's giving us. Especially since she's not grading the content. I think i just reazlized the problem I have with this semester. It feels like it's all just busy work. Read the massive amount of shit, write your discussion posts, reply to two classmates, now do this assignment that will only be graded based on if you turn it in. What's the point if you're not grading it based on substance? I hate it and these classes are making me regret even going back to school.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Hi, I started a roast and then the power went off and I didn't even think about the roast. I just realized and restarted it but idk if it's still safe. I really hope so, but I'm skeptical that it is. I just hate to waste all that. I don't think it had been on for more than an hour before the power went out, so it was basically raw.

SPOILERS

Chris is a total villain, not intentionally, but he is. In Flowers, he's the reason they stay for so long, he's the reason he and Cathy are whipped and they're all starved, he's the reason they make that painting for the Grandmother that she rejects, he's the one who rapes Cathy. He's constantly belittling and talking down to Cathy when he's not telling her how beautiful she is.

In Petals, he's constantly telling Cathy he needs her, he's got to have her, she's the only one for him, he's the only one who'll understand her. He tries to rape her repeatedly throughout the book. He tries to talk her out of marrying Paul. In the end she marries Christopher, but I feel it's not because she loves him, but because she's tired of his constant, unending pursuit. She's just tired of fighting it and so she gives in. Even early in the book, she gives into his kisses a few times but she doesn't want them, she just gets momentarily overpowered by the pleasure.

I hate Chris. He's the worst. He's the reason Cathy has such a shit-show of a life. Sure, she makes poor decisions, but ultimately, I think some of them are based on the need to get Chris off her back. I only just restarted Petals, so I may be miss remembering some of it, but I think for the most part, I'm on point. Thoughts? Arguments? I'm dying to discuss this with someone who's read the books.

My husband and I have been married for 10 years, together for 11. We have 2 kids, 1 together and mine from a previous relationship. I love him. He's sweet and comforting. He can be very thoughtful and well, we have amazing sex. It's just not enough.

We often are broke so I don't ask for or expect gifts or to go on dates or go out much at all. However, when we do have money, I let him know that I *do* want those things. I don't expect a date to a super fancy restaurant or a diamond necklace. I don't even need or expect a gift and a date, but I want something. I almost never get a mother's day or birthday gift. If we do something for our anniversary, it's I who facilitates it. He doesn't even get me a card unless I specifically ask for one or our kids mention it. For valentines day, he got me a card and a box of chocolates... then he ate several of them without asking or even giving me a heads up.

He is ALWAYS on his tech. He always has to have a fucking screen in his hands. I want the kids to be on screens less but it doesn't matter what I say or do because he's always on them. For example, he uses his phone in the shower... the *shower*.

He doesn't communicate. He doesn't tell me how he's feeling, what he's thinking, or about his day. Even if I try to talk, he's not giving me his attention and he has nothing to add. There's no back and forth. I'll be talking with him and he'll be playing a game, and he'll half listen until he gets frustrated and pointedly puts down his screen. I tell him that hurts and he acts put out.

I feel like I have 3 kids and am a single mom. He doesn't help unless I ask 20 times or I explode from the stress and mess.

We're in therapy together. I'm trying. But even using the language and methods the therapist has been telling us about is not working. I tried last night to use her language and he said he just felt criticized. I'm at my wit's end. I love him. I want to be with him. I just don't think I can anymore.

Edit: I can't post this in Autism or ADHD subs because he looks at those and I don't want him to see it.

My [F40] husband [M42] was diagnosed with both ADHD and autism a few years ago. I love him deeply but we have a lot of issues.

I am trying to keep our kids [F15 & M9] off tech so much but he's nearly always on some form of tech (phone, computer, Nintendo, iPad) so it doesn't hold any weight. I can't rely on him to get any chores done without procrastination, asking multiple times, or several reminders and forget about asking for three or more things at a time. If I need us all to clean, he'll first procrastinate, then after a nudge, he'll work for roughly 10-30 minutes and take a "break" for an unreasonably long time, often never going back to cleaning at all. If I leave the kids in his care, he'll forget to feed them or give them crap. Once, he gave them cheeze and crackers for dinner.

There are a ton of issues I have between us, but I'm more concerned with the kid/cleaning/tech stuff right now. We are in couple's therapy and she said one of his symptoms is trouble with executive function and I don't remember what else. I want to know, are these issues things that are just part of him that he can't change and I just need to accept as is or is it more that he doesn't want to change?

Thanks for your input!

Let me explain. I cannot use a tampon. I think I correctly used one one time but it was really emotionally hard to insert it. I never use penatrative masturbation, I can't bare to put anything there myself. Even vaginal medication, I embarrassingly have to ask my husband to administer (which he is always more than happy to do lol). I despise having to get a vaginal exam and always have to have my husband with me to hold my hand.

Is that super weird?
