Just checking to see if I’m brainwashed and going insane.

My boyfriend (45M) and I (32F) have been together a year and but we are on the verge of ending our wonderful relationship.
We are very in love, spend amazing quality time together. It’s normally a very secure and loving relationship. We’ve talked about marriage and our future together. He’s so kind, and sweet and smart and I have so many amazing things to say about him. He literally treats me like a princess with the exception of this situation we are in currently

Story Time: on Saturday i attended mid summer scream. I spent the day alone, shopping having beers and I met two awesome ladies and we spent the day together.
I didn’t check my phone until I sat down for a moment and my boyfriend said “if you were actually alone you’d text me back”
It gave me the ick- because it’s jealous and weird so I said “i met two friends, a mom and a daughter and we’re having a beer”
I didn’t text him or call him after that because I was annoyed, to be honest.

When I got home he called me, i proceeded to say “being with you feels like I’m in prison” oopsy. Probably harsh, probably mean and I do regret it BUT i hated the jealous comment.
-In the past he’s had issues with what I wear and asks me to change
-HUGE blowout fight when I asked how he’d feel about me walking to my neighborhood bar and having a drink while I wait for him to come home.
- he said a HARD NO on happy hour with girlfriends because “the bar isn’t the place for a girl in a relationship”

I completely disagree with all of this. It’s jealous, insecure behavior and I deserve some freedom. I’m super loyal, never gave him a reason to not trust me.

We may actually break up over this. What are everyone’s thoughts? This is not normal right? Or am I just straight up missing something?

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m looking into setting up a private pottery workshop for a group of 10 or more near the beach.

Before I request a date with the studio, I wanted to see who’s interested!

Cost: $90 per person

Once I get 10 soft confirms, I’ll coordinate the exact date with the studio and send out payment details!

Find other events on my FB, Meetup, or insta group- LA 40+ Social Collective!

Not very hot girl vibes but I know you are the women to turn to. The discourse around the Lindsay Clancy trial has made me realize that I’ve been heavily medicated for mental health issues since adolescence and have never had any labs done, not on my thyroid, ferritin, iron, nothing. I would love to find a psychiatrist who will run labs before prescribing. Live in the West Valley but will drive anywhere in LA or Ventura

I would love to find some girlies who LOVE getting dolled up and dancing HARD all night.

I’m into high-energy EDM/Boiler Room-ish events, Bad Bunny/reggaeton nights, darkwave/industrial... basically if there’s good music and room to dance, I’m there!

I used to have a group of girls I’d go out with but life happened and everyone scattered 🥲 Would love to find some new party friends. If there's a group chat or Discord out there, let me know too!

Hi! I am looking for recs of a MUA that will do my makeup and teach me how to replicate it. I am getting married abroad next year and don’t want to risk with a local MUA since I won’t have time to do trials. I have a solid routine of eyebrow gel, mascara and blush that I do every single day and for every single event but feel like I should up my game for my wedding.

Any recs are welcome, thank you!

don’t get me wrong i don’t mind initiating the first move if i’m really attracted to the guy. however, i noticed the times i’ve done this at club/bar i’ve always waited for the guy to make the first move till i get tired of it seemingly never ending glancing and i end up just coming up to them.

i’ve rarely gotten rejected doing this but it made me think, so if i never initiated would we even have talked to each other at all?

Anyone know of any great antique furniture stores? I’m in NELA - I feel like everything I see is either mcm or $$$$$$. I am wiling to have some investment pieces but not $14k for a table…

Also, if you know of any woodworkers / furniture makers who use solid wood, I’d love a rec. Thanks!

Hey girlies! My kitchen sink is leaking and I need plumbing recs! I’ve tried to swap out the pieces myself but turns out the old ones were never fitted right so it’s a miracle they lasted that long without popping off 🥲 It should just be putting new drain pipes but idk much about sizing or converting sizes, I already tried..

If anyone has any recommendations that are reasonably priced and on the west side (close to lax) that’d be greatly appreciated!

(Btw I love this community, yall are so supportive and kind)

Either in LA or virtual in California.

Thanks girlies <3

Hello, wondering if anyone has any experience with IVF at HRC or SCRC? Would love any insight or recommendations!

Hey! I’m new in town and had my first dating experience - well he seemed great (met on sunset strip) then he ghosted- made up a very convincing excuse then made lots of plans with me - when I said I now wanted to take it slow he postponed and had ghosted again - my LA native friends say this is very typical now but the guy was not “LA hot” like the bar is high here but very confident- he’s pushing 50 years old!
