I am looking for a the most temporary adhesive that won’t damage the gel polish beneath! I prefer having certain color nails that don’t always work for certain event or parties! I want to be able to do my nails how I want them a majority of the time, but put press ons on for a day when needed. Honestly sometimes I’d probably take them off within a few hours.
Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated!
Me and my boyfriend have been seeing each other for 9 months and official for 7. We’ve been pretty much living together for 8 months and have known each other for like 10yrs. At the beginning things were intense, but seemingly as soon as we started dating and having sex, romance and intimacy dwindled. It’s partly because of his work schedule and that we are comfortable.
I want more intimacy. We do have sex semi regularly but I want kissing, him to hold me, pull me onto his lap, dance with me, say cutesy lovey things, and when we do have sex I want foreplay. I also want him to initiate sex, I can’t even remember the last time he did so while awake. I want to make it clear he loves affection but he works a lot and is really tired. We often have only an hour a day if that in which we are together and both awake. I have tried talking to him but it doesn’t seem to work or last and I don’t want to be a nag. I do things like wrapping my legs around him when we sit next to each other. When he’s standing doing something I come up behind him and wrap my arms around him.
I tell him I want more dates and time together and he’ll either take me out to eat or have me pick what to do. But I want him to plan a date that is us doing something. I realize he’s busy and doesn’t have the mental ability on his level of sleep, but it still sucks. Especially since he makes the money and has less energy than me on the day to day I don’t want to pick a high energy or expensive date when I don’t know where his energy or finances are at. So it’s kinda a double edged sword.
How do I get him to be more affectionate in low energy/effort ways (low energy and effort ways for him, I have the time to put energy and effort in for the most part)? What are something’s in conversation I should bring up? Ideas to help spark romance and intimacy? Would it be a good idea to start making multiple date ideas and let him pick which idea so I feel like he’s taking some agency in our relationship?
We truly have a good relationship! We never fight, want the same things, genuinely care about each other, mutual attraction, do things for each other, think about each other. Just with his work schedule right now I have been trying not to go crazy or be too demanding. I understand why he needs to work so much, and not trying to make him feel bad. But I just really want some romance and intimacy, just one day a week have a few hours with intimacy and romance. I just don’t want to feel like a roommate due to his work schedule leaving him exhausted (12 hr shifts, manual labor).
TLDR: We have a good relationship, but my boyfriend is tired and busy. How to help romance and intimacy without putting pressure and stress on him?
My boyfriend is a super busy person. I on the other hand am unemployed and have nothing but time atm. Looking for advice to enhance romance and intimacy. We’ve been together 7 months and pretty much live together. We started talking 9 months ago, but have known each other for years. We don’t say we love each other yet, though I’m ready just waiting for him to say it first.
I’ve tried talking to him but he has to work a lot and I try to be understanding. We have overall a great relationship. We communicate, get along, never fight, and really match well for the most part. We want the same things relationship and life wise. The problem is I want more lovely dovey romantic stuff. I want ideas to help trigger it on my side and conversational ideas to bring it up to him. I want more casual non jokey intimacy. Kissing that isn’t just a peck. Snuggling and saying cutesy flirty things. Dancing. Him pulling me into his lap. Him coming behind me and holding me like I do to him. Cute nicknames. Dates that aren’t just dinner or us watching something. I want to be grossly affectionate and lovey dovey couple, that single people hate and envy. I’m feeling intimacy and romance starved, he used to be so affectionate. Now he barely pecks me and he is rarely romantic or intimate. On the average day the best I get is a peck and a playful non-sensual grope. It’s because he’s tired he works 6 or 7 12 hour shifts a week. He loves the affection I give him, I just want affection in return. I want to figure out ways for us to be more romantic and affection without it being too draining. I don’t want him to feel like I don’t understand and respect how much he has to work. There is just so long I can go without romance and intimacy until it feels we are just roommates.
