My [21F] boyfriend [22M] of 1.5 years suddenly is getting passive aggressive about my leg hair.

Throw away because my BF sometimes uses reddit.
I don't shave. No armpits, no legs, no pubes. I do pluck my eyebrows. I haven't since 6th or 7th grade, and we my boyfriend and I first got together, I was very clear that I wouldn't be shaving. It just something I don't do. If I am going to a fancy event where my legs will be shown, I wear tan stockings and you can't even tell.
Anyways, he was fine with this for awhile, or at least never said anything about it. It is not like I was secretive of never shaving so it shouldn't have been a surprise. But recently, since about November, he has been making comments about it. Examples: "It doesn't take that long to shave!" and "Smooth legs are so nice." when we see a commercial for shaving products or something similar.
I kinda ignored the comments, as they weren't really directed at me, but they have been becoming more frequent and worse. He said to me something like "Your legs would be so nice if they were like that.' and I overhead a casual comment of how "hairy legs are gross" to his friends... and generally actually comparing my 'gross' legs to hairless 'nice' legs. Then, one day he came home from the grocery store with ladies shaving cream and a pack of women's razors. This was about two weeks ago. I clarified when he presented them to me that I would not be shaving. He said "They were just on sale so I bought them... just in case."
I don't care to, its itchy and time consuming and I just don't care. I am not unhygienic by any means, I shower at least ever two days and wear deodorant. I don't know why he was fine with it before and suddenly is being so weird about it. He hasn't even outright spoke to me about it and shared his concern over my hairy legs.
tl;dr Boyfriend is passive aggressive about my hairy legs. Where do I go from here?

My child is four months old and doesn’t sleep well at all. I usually swaddle when putting to sleep and in the middle of the night would raise their legs and slam them down very hard.
After a while of this, they will wake up and cry while arching their back. Why are they doing this and how do I stop this from happening?
Hey everyone, hope you're crushing it. So I've contracted golfer's elbow in both arms, it's been two months now and is still hurting, I'm trying to rehab it but I'm now realizing how much time it takes.
During the meantime I'm alternating my training days between a rehab day and a leg & core workout. I've got ir covered for the leg part but I can't really find suitable exercises that I like for the core. Before my injury I was doing only hanging leg raises, hanging tussian twists, skin the cat and L-sit routine for the core. But now all 3 cause me flare ups so better avoid them for now. Could you have suggestions for core exercises that do not involve the arms ? Ab wheel, oblique plank, drgaon flag all aren't feasible right now for that reason. Here's what I've tried :
1- Hollow body hold : ok that's the only one I like on that list. I'm going to keep it, it's not that difficult but I like the grind of pushing my time more and more. But still it's static and I can't find something dynamic.
2- Hollow body crunches : I hate those. I now calisthenics movement ranked them 1st in their best abs exercises video, but honestly I can't scale the difficulty and I find them extremely boring and even akward. How to
3- Reverse crunches : I don't dislike it. I like the feeling even. But how do you really make that harder ? Because it isn't hard at all honesty. I'm combining it with candle raises (when you move your legs towards the ceiling) to make it more challenging what do you think of that ?
4- Heel taps/Russian twists : only thing I found for the obliques but boy is it easy. not very challenging in comparison to the hanging version or the oblique plank crunches.
5- V-up : I feel like it's more a cardio exercise than an ab exercise ? I haven't really implemented it to be honest, what do you think about this ? Is it worth the inclusion ?
thanks for your help
First time poster, on mobile etc.
I’ve been living in a rented flat with 2 flatmates for 3 years in march, and our letting agent has just told us that they want to raise our rent by 9%. We think this is unreasonable, because the index of rental prices has only gone up by 2% (in london) over the same period, so we’re trying to negotiate, and would really appreciate opinions/ advice on the following:
- the relevant wording of the tenancy agreement is this:
"In clause 1.7.8.5 the Rent will increase by the amount of the increase in the CPI (Consumer Price Index) from two months before the start of the tenancy or the last increase, whichever is the later, to the month two months prior to the month of the increase. Regardless of CPI, the amount of the rent increase will be subject to a minimum of 2% to a maximum of 5% for each complete year since the last rent increase.”
I’ve looked at the CPI figures from the ONS The consumer price index has increased by 7% over the last 3 years from Jan 19 to present, and by my calculation the minimum the rent increase would be subject to is 6.1%, and the maximum is 15.7% so increase of 7% is fine, but they’re trying to argue that the increase in respect of 2019 is 2%, 2020 is 2% and 2021 is 5%, so 9% total. Which of us is right here?
- if they insist on 9%- we did sign a contract so are we just out of luck and have to pay it even though this takes the property above fair market value? Or do we have some other recourse?
Thanks!!!
Just an observation I’ve seen a lot lately, why are many drivers doing this? Not to put down only new drivers, is this something you have been taught to do? Or is this something you have picked up and decided to do yourself?
Some of my observations from my day to day work have me feeling puzzled.
The title of the post says it all. I have a set of four really nice chairs that I recently had reupholstered. Unfortunately, the reupholsterers did a poor job, and (among other things) the seat height is now too low (the table is now at my arm pits when I'm sitting in the chairs). The chair legs are metal and hollow. The chair tube has a 9/16" inner diameter and a 3/4" outer diameter. Because the chair legs are angled, and the chairs move from carpet to hardwood, the feet need to be on glides and to swivel. (Pics of current feet here and here.) After much research, I thought the ideal solution would be threaded star adapters for round tubing combined with level gliders that swivel. However, I haven't been able to make any of the star adapters I found work. The ones for 1/2" inner diameter are much too small and fall out, and I can't manage to get the ones for 5/8" inner diameter into the legs, even if I hammer down the "petals" first (which isn't easy). (I even tried screwing in the feet and hammering on them, but it was no better.)
Is there some kind of tool or method that would help me get the star adapters into the tubes? If not, is there another way of solving this problem (that won't be incredibly ugly)? I'm open to all ideas.
Thank you!
Hi, I am 19 years old, 178cm(5'10'') and weight 85kg(187lbs). I've recently started doing a watered-down version of the RR routine because I can't afford to go to the gym for a couple of reasons. This is what I do:
SUPERSET: Chin-ups - 3x5 + Dips - 3x7 + 3 min rest
SUPERSET: Inverted Rows - 3x10 + Decline Push-ups - 3x10 + 3 min rest
Parallel Bars Leg Raises(Leg raises from the starting position of a dip) - 3x15 + 3 min rest
Problem is, I seem to get really bad headaches after doing the Leg Raises. Today especially was terrible. I finished my workout and was on the verge of puking(something which I haven't done in like 9 years).
Thing is, these headaches happen almost always, although today was by far the worst one. I'd say I get a headache every 4/5 times after doing core work. Needless to say, it's very annoying.
So, do you guys have any suggestions for me to try so that I don't get a headache?
My current hypothesis is that I get a headache because I work out first thing in the morning, fasted. I am going to try eating in the morning before working out and to see if that solves it.
I currently have a 65 inch TCLR617 sitting on my TV stand. I'd like to raise the tv about 4 inches to fit a center channel speaker underneath.
Im thinking about putting stands underneath each leg to raise the tv. Is something like this a good option to raise the tv?
I was just really happy and wanted to share my progress ;_;
I hope everyone who's going through recovery right now is going stronggg.
Both require you to take your back through flexion, why is Jeff doing it here? Isn’t that bad for your discs?He doesn’t explain why it’s better than crunches.

Same thing with his neck exercise video, is what he recommends doing here safe for the neck?
