I feel like the “experts” are REALLY, REALLY letting Nikki down. I mean, I could go on for days about all the ways. But for this post, I will limit it to them empowering Shawn to apply even ***more*** pressure to her to get physical. The poor woman has been trying as hard as she can to grow some attraction and be open to this marriage, and she deserves a metric fuck ton of respect and admiration for that, given what/who she’s had to deal with. She has been fending off the unwanted advances of a disgusting sex pest every single day since her wedding and you want to tell her to go even deeper through the motions and do more uncomfortable things to make the relationship better? You are completely ignoring your duty of care for this woman. It thoroughly disgusts me. And don’t even try to convince me you haven’t been aware of the dynamic there. Don’t buy it. Why are you doing this woman so dirty?

Question for those who bring their Griffs in to groomers for hand stripping. My groomer always wants to take down my guy’s beard because “they can get stringy and/or dry and break off.” I wash, condition, and brush his beard at home routinely in between grooming, and have seen no sign of this. I have to ask her every single time I drop off to leave his beard alone as i want it to grow, and she frowns and tries to argue with me. I don’t like his beard stripped or scissored or whatever she does, I don’t think he looks like a Griff when it’s short and round.

She also tends to give him the chicken leg treatment, which I’m not a fan of. Again because his coat “could” start looking blown if she doesn’t. I guess i would like to see proof of these things happening before i worry about them and not sure why she wants to do additional work she’s being asked not to. Anyone have any thoughts about this or similar experiences?

Felipe seems to believe he is prime real estate and has a lot of high value bids waiting in the wings. Like it’s going to be a genuine struggle to be faithful in his marriage due to his demand and opportunity. And worst of all, he’s not even sure he wants to resist that. So, my question is why get married? Live your fuck boy era. No one is stopping you. No one is putting a gun to your head telling you not to. Why waste someone else’s time?

The thing about Adam - he loves his life exactly as is. He is 100% set in his estimation. He would not change one thing. I don’t think he has any interest whatsoever in fully getting to know a woman or participating in HER life. He does not want to broaden his horizons. I think he believes his life (and him) is near perfection, why wouldn’t a woman just want to plop right into his “female version of me” slot and forget everything else?

I paid $250 for a facial at a spa today. In addition to that, I bought two products while I was there. When I checked out, there wasn’t an option to tip the aesthetician so I left $60 in cash for her. The owner of the salon took it from me as the aesthetician was already with another client. She fully checked out how much I was leaving and SCOWLED. I tipped on the service, not the products, which I have always understood to be standard. Why would I tip on a jar of moisturizer? I’ve worked at places like this before; the owner makes $ on sales of the products, and the person who sold or recommended it usually gets a small commission. But I’m pretty sure the owner expected me to tip on the entire amount, which is just crazy to me. Am I wrong?

The irony is, I think Joy could/would have rocked Luke’s world if he had stayed the course. Getting distracted, banging the nutball, and jizzing up his boss’s sheets was next level dumb.

Devin is too much. Like, wayyyyyyy too much. There is zero chance I would be able to sustain a relationship with someone with that level of emotional neediness. Couples consist of two INDIVIDUALS. Not wanting to take every breath together is not a betrayal. Calm tf down, bro.

Can anyone recommend a good, reasonably priced person or company to do a small dump run? Thanks!
