I’m currently looking for a doorbell camera for my apartment (i’m in the USA!!)

I’ve looked and Eufy and Tapo so far, both seem good but they do have their pros and cons based on reviews.

My requirements for the camera:
\- must have no monthly subscription but I can still access all the important features.
\- preferably battery operated, but wired is fine too
\- can detect people and packages
\- has a good connection for live feed, fast and reliable notifications
\- must be able to use and have a good connection to check on the camera when we’re not home
\- I can go in and delete any saved footage in order to free up storage

I really want one that has no monthly fee because I just simply can’t afford that right now!

Thank you in advance!

I’m 20F and my boyfriend 23M have been together for 2 years. about a year ago I started taking the pill bc (yaz). At first everything was fine and I had no side effects. But during month 3 my libido basically dropped to non-existent. I stopped taking the pill after about 8 months of being on it (I was experiencing a list of negative side effects at this point).

About 3 months ago I got an IUD (mirena) placed. I’ve had no side effects from it, other than the fact that i’ve been spotting or bleeding every single day since then :(

However, I still haven’t been able to get my libido to come back. Before i started bc at all, we would be very sexually active, at least a few times a week to every other day. But since being in bc, I don’t even think about sex. It’s incredibly difficult for me to get in the mood and once I am, it’s even more difficult to maintain it. Sex feels like such a chore now and I hate it. The constant bleeding thing really doesn’t help either because that just deters me from sex even more.

I just want us to go back to our normal sex lives. I want to want sex again. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice is welcome! Thank you

Makeup remover recs for sensitive eye skin

Not sure if this is the correct sub so sorry if it’s not!

I currently use the Garnier micellar water (yellow bottle) to remove my makeup. For the past month I started using the Blue bottle water proof version of that micellar water. I’m pretty sure I had an allergic reaction to it. My under eye skin got swollen, red, burned a lot, and now it’s irritated and the skin is dry/flakey.

I’m going to stop using the Garnier micellar water all together because I’ve seen a lot of people developed an allergy to that brand in general!

I’ve heard the Bioderma micellar water is a good and gentle one. Also possibly an oil cleanser, not too sure though since I have very sensitive and acne prone skin :(

Any products that are good for very sensitive acne prone skin? Thank you!

My boyfriend (HL23M) and I (LL20F) have been together for 2 years. At the start of our relationship, we discussed past partners. He told me he had 2 exes but slept with about 7 people. I was a virgin and he would be my first. This was the cause of a lot of fights and issues between us. It was extremely difficult to get over the fact that he was my only body and he had so many before me.
Long story short, a year into the relationship I caught him in a lie about a past sexual partner. It caused everything to crumble and he finally admitted to me that he was also a virgin. I felt so incredibly betrayed. He told me he lied about it because he didn’t want me to think her was a “loser”, and regretted it after I told him I was a virgin, but never went back on it. He told me a lot of details, basically creating fan fiction about these girls he’d slept with. So naturally I was extremely hurt by this insane lie that went on for an entire year.
He only confessed because I caught him in a lie that he didn’t remember telling me. I have tried getting over it and moving past it. But a year later now and I still can’t get over it. I feel like I have forgiven him in a sense, but I still don’t fully trust him. It makes me feel resentful towards him, question what else he has lied about or is still lying about.
Around that time, I started have a LL and wasn’t that interested in doing anything sexual with him. I still find it difficult to get aroused by him. Or feel in the mood. It’s become rare that I do, and we only have sex about once a week or every 2 weeks now. He has a very HL , as did I. But after that I don’t anymore.
Has anyone ever gone through something similar? If so, how did you rebuild trust in your partner. I know people are going to tell me to break up, but I genuinely want to try and rebuild my trust in him before making that an option. If you want more info let me know. Any advice on what to do? Thank you!

TLDR; How do I begin trusting my boyfriend after he lied to me about NOT being a virgin when he was? We’ve been together for 2 years, a year in, he confessed that he was a virgin only after ai caught him in a lie. This has caused me to not trust him fully, or want to be very intimate in the bedroom. How do I start trusting him again?

I posted on here a couple days ago for brand recs! I’m looking for a quality silver chain for my boyfriend.

A few people recommended Imbued Jewelry and Luke Zion. After looking at both i’m really torn between the two. Both have similar prices and look similar quality. I’m just unsure since Luke Zion is basically a reseller, while on the other hand, Imbued seems to be fairly new with not a lot of reviews.

Any advice or further recs are greatly appreciated !!

I’ve been trying to find good brands to buy a rope chain necklace for my boyfriend. I got him a necklace as a present a couple years ago, but he hasn’t been able to wear it for about 6 months because the two replacement chains I’ve bought have since broken.
I want a really good quality rope chain that won’t break so easily. He isn’t rough on the necklace at all and takes really good care of it. He likes the chain to be 1.5-2mm in width and 20in length! Thank you!

My boyfriend [23M] and I [20F] have been together for two years now. We currently live with his parents in order to save up money for an apartment later this year. I feel we have entered a sort of “roommate phase”. We don’t go out on date as often anymore more, used to be at least one a week. This is because gas is so expensive and we’re really trying to save a lot of money, so it’s been work and home, that’s it.

I absolutely still love him and feel that spark with him. I just want to reignite it a bit more to what it used to be. I’m hoping for date ideas, everyday things that show how much i love him, not just quality time stuff. I miss doing little things for him that show him how much I truly see him as a person. Any ideas and smalls gifts I could get?

TLDR: My boyfriend and I are in a “roommate phase”. We do the same thing everyday with no weekly date anymore. What are so ways I can bring the spark back to the relationship?

Throw away so she can’t find out this is me. I’ve tried writing this multiple times but there’s far too much to be able to add everything.
I have been deeply considering cutting off contact with my mom for the past few years. We have a very tumultuous relationship. Short context: when i was younger we used to be best friends, at times she was my only friend. Towards the end of high school and once I started college, our relationship became extremely strained. The more independent I became, the more suffocating she got with me. When I was 18, I got a very serious boyfriend. My mon has had a problem with him from the start, saying that he’s taking me away from her. A year and a half into our relationship, he moved in with me and parents. We did this so we could save up money to get our own apartment together. The original agreement was that he didn’t have to pay rent, as long as both of us helped around the house and contributed to groceries. A couple months into this, my mom said that the three of us needed to have a conversation. She said that neither of us help around the house, that we exclude her, she feels uncomfortable in her own home, and that my boyfriend needs to start paying rent. We got into a fight about this because I am constantly sacrificing my time for her and doing whatever she wants. For context, she’s a stay at home mom while my bf and I work part time and full time jobs. We are the ones doing most of the house work, we cook dinner for all of us almost every night, and we contributed to getting groceries. She even told us that if we cooked dinner, she would do the dishes that night. But that never happened, and she would do dishes maybe once a week, and only wash her own dishes. My boyfriend stayed quiet for most of the argument, until she told me how terrible of a daughter I am to her, and other deeply personal things. She ended up calling him a freeloader, among other things, and brought up his own poor relationship with his mom. We left after that, and ended up moving in with his parents for the meantime. It’s been 6 months since that happened and I’ve continued to have very limited contact with my mother since. She and my dad continue to blame me for that fight. And say that it’s my fault for not reaching out to them more and trying to mend our relationship. But truthfully, I’ve given up on mending my relationship with her because this isn’t the first time it’s happened. She makes promises to try every time, and once we get back to a good place, she reverts back to the exact same person. Today, she texted me that her best friend and the bff’s son will be coming over in a couple days with her. I asked how long they would be visiting for. She responded back “They’re staying here. Remember we talked about this a while ago.” I said that I didn’t remember, and how long will they be there. She said “I’m not sure how long. We talked about this last year”. I have absolutely no memory of her ever telling me this, and she only just now updated me about it. I feel this is my last straw with her. I don’t understand why her own daughter and partner can’t live with her for a bit to save money in order to move out. but her friend who’s never had a stable income or living situation my entire life gets more grace than I do. Should I cut off contact with her once I have my own place, or is there any way to salvage this?

TLDR; My boyfriend and I moved in with my parents in order to save money so we could get our own place together. The agreement was that we didn’t have to pay rent, just help around the house and contribute to groceries. After a couple months of living together, my mom said that we weren’t holding up our end of the agreement. For context, she’s a SAHM, and we both work. We were the only ones who cooked dinner for all of us and cleaned up around the house, even though she said if we cooked dinner, she would clean up for us. She also called my boyfriend a freeloader, and said that he taking me away from her. We left after that and moved in with my boyfriend’s parents shortly after. For the past 6 months, I’ve kept limited contact with her. Today she told me her best friend and the bff’s son would be staying with her indefinitely. She says that we talked about this last year, but I have absolutely no memory of this. I just don’t understand why her best friend who’s never had a stable income or living situation is perfectly fine to live with her. But her own daughter and partner can’t live with her in order to save up money. Should I cut off contact with her once I have my own place, or is there any way to salvage this?

Throw away account so no one i know can link this post back to me!

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years now. At the start, my sex drive was very high, as was his, and we had sex almost everyday, sometimes multiple times. About 6 months into the relationship I started birth control pills. They completely got rid of my sex drive (among other issues), which caused a lot of difficulty since his drive was the same as before. I got off the pill after taking it for about 8 months and switched to an IUD about 2 months ago. My sex drive is still not back to what it used to be. I still find him extremely attractive and want to have sex with him. I just find it very difficult to get in the mood or want to initiate, but once i’m in the mood i’m all good! Sometimes, I’ll be in the mood and really into it, but as soon as he initiates the want goes away. Or other times, my drive will completely go away halfway through and I just want to get it over with. Has anyone else had this issue? What did you do to help?

I got my first credit card about 8 months ago. It’s the Wells Fargo Active Cash. I currently use it for everything since there’s a 2% cash back on all categories. Since this card is my everyday one, I want a second credit card mainly for dining/restaurants, gas and maybe groceries or travel. I’m currently only 20, but my credit score is very good. I pay my first credit card off in full every month or almost fully on occasion. I’ve been looking into the Chase Freedom Unlimited and really like it. Would this be a good option for me or are there better ones?
