I’m doing research for a history paper (NOT FOR A FRENCH CLASS) about a medieval convent that has very little historical research done on it, so I’ve started using French sources, too. I’ve been using translation tools online to assist me, but this specific page is vague and I think wording important to understanding the meaning.

I’m specifically curious about this window from the ancient, now demolished church, because if it’s referring to the church I think it’s referring to, that window is from the church I’m researching 😂

Would love a translation that is picky about word choice if anyone could help.

I have a good friend who I care very much about who has a really strong body odor issue. It’s noticeable enough that if we’re standing close, I can smell it. She has lent me clothes before (clean clothes) that have had the smell soak into them and remain on them all day.

I know oftentimes people don’t know about their own smell issues, but it’s bad enough that surely someone has told her. If not, I’m not sure if I’m the friend to do it. We’re close, but we’re not, like, best friends. I’m not sure if I’m close enough with her that it would be appropriate to say something. I know I would want someone to say something to me, but I’m terrified that it will be bad for our friendship.

She showers regularly, but I’m not sure about the whole deodorant situation. It could be that her deodorant isn’t effective… But maybe she chooses not to wear it?

Starting off with the fact that I \[24 F\] love my boyfriend \[24 M\] very much and I want to be intimate with him. We have never been intimate before, even though we’ve been together for years, because we didn’t feel ready (I’m a virgin lmao) but I really love him and want to take that step.

However, he has a colostomy bag. I don’t hold that against him, obviously, but especially since I’ve never done this before, I’m not sure how all the mechanics work when factoring that in. I don’t want to pressure him or ask for the wrong thing, so I’m trying to learn more before we have a more in-depth convo. He has also never had sex since getting it.

If he gets on top when we’re having sex, will that hurt him, and if so what else can we try? What kind of risks should we be aware of, and to what extent is the risk of infection or other health complications for me greater due to the stoma?

I’m also really scared I won’t be into it due to the colostomy bag. I’ve felt sexual attraction to him, and I want this to feel good, but I’m already nervous about the whole haven’t-had-sex-thing… what if I don’t get turned on? What if he doesn’t enjoy it? The last thing I ever ever ever want to do is make him feel self-conscious or bad about it. I want to support him and I wish this thought didn’t even cross my mind, but I’m an over-thinker. I feel like the worst girlfriend in the world.

I would really love it if people who have stomas or who have partners who do could give me some advice.
