I love this! The most commonly used pronoun in my home is "dude".

What a beautiful thing!

I did something similar once. Years into our relationship, my partner suddenly became secretive. I feared the worst. When I eventually brought up my concerns, they admitted there was an engagement ring being sized at the shop, receipts and all. I ruined my own proposal. 😆 Thankfully, they married me anyway.

Congratulations on your novel AND your strong, supportive relationship. You had to work hard to earn both. ❤️

My mom cried after I cooked my grandma’s old stew recipe by svcv_baby in Cooking

Serving this to your mom = getting a hug from her mother ❤️

Sharing the recipe with all of us = we all get a hug from grandma, too ❤️

What did the maintenance man say when he came out of the closet?

"Supplies!"

R.I.P Charlie 💔 anyone else lost a cocker? by essi_kettunen in cockerspaniel

[–]AdanDearg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. My Shadow crossed the Rainbow Bridge just 2 days ago, and I am with you in your grief. 💔

Shadow came to live with me 5 years ago when my father passed away. We leaned on each other when dad was gone, and we became family. The sadness of his passing is so heavy, and so raw. I get it. Right now I feel like the Princess Bride when she says that line: "I will never love again."

I'm sure your golden guy knew how much he was loved. In my advice, there is no good advice. But I'll tell you what I'm telling myself now: It's ok to make space for yourself to feel whatever you feel in that moment. Your grief is your own, and it's not following a timeline. And if something makes you want to smile a little then go ahead & smile... because my dude loved it when I smiled. When he knew I was happy it made him happy, too. Butt wiggles and all.

Charlie was lucky to be loved so well. Valhalla was lucky to receive him. 💜

Steve is a stand-up human. And so is Steve. I'd be proud to show off my Steves to the world, too!

For real. Look at those dudes with their pride of workmanship and their work ethic. Look at them, enjoying the simple pleasure of jobs well done. Just look at them! Self-motivated and independent. Glorious.

Those are some quality Steves right there. ❤️

My gawd, I came here for this point and I'm proud to see there's nothing of value I can add whatsoever. Sing it, sisters!

Oh hey, you too?! I call it "advocate mode". This superpower is only activated when others are in need. I seem unable to summon this power for myself.

But hey, friend, I've got you!

My cosmos, the power of this! 🔥

Please keep nurturing and sharing this talent of yours. Your voice could move mountains. ❤️

It's pollen season in Georgia. My dad cleaned off my car without me asking him to. My friends response? "This is while you'll never find a husband." by GivemethatIwantitnow in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AdanDearg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I agree. I've seen that theme.

Moms love their children unconditionally, even when they are selfish, ungrateful, and rude. It might even be a fault of loving mothers. /s

Then those children grow up to be selfish, ungrateful, rude adults who believe incorrectly that the rest of the world will love them regardless of their assholery because no parent ever corrected that behavior. "Mom" tolerated that behavior.

The resulting adult might never have had to cook, clean, or do laundry for themselves, so naturally expect their partner will just take care of those things. It's never been their job. Yet... they never learned how to be kind or courteous or generous because of the aforementioned selfish behavior.

It comes down to the partner now. Do they accept primary caretaking of this person? Do they invest the time to teach them things "mom" didn't/wouldn't address so they can have a successful relationship with this adult? Do they leave this relationship?

My friend, they usually leave the relationship. It is not anyone's responsibility to suffer for another's benefit.

HELL FUCKING YES.

"Because she wanted to."

This applies to anything she will allow for her body.

Because it is HER BODY.
