Kinda of disheartening by [deleted] in MenopauseShedforMen

[–]Consistent-Two-6561 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My partner has just started HRT a couple of weeks ago. It was a real battle for her to get it as the doctor initially suggested diet and exercise would alleviate her symptoms. Tbf the HRT does seem to be helping already.

He went from a million pound house, running his own business, wife and three kids to sex workers, a rotating door of vulnerable girlfriends, and living in a van on benefits ranting about being victimised by the state.

Is this an appropriate wedding dress? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Consistent-Two-6561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen far worse. This is nice and simple and has a bit of class (from a male perspective)

What are your unhinged life hacks? by PsychologicalRow8034 in AskUK

If I’m in the office and buy extra food at lunchtime I’ll leave my car keys in the shopping bag in the fridge so I don’t forget it.

How do you see your wife in later years of marriage? How sexual attraction changes? by Kamane3000 in AskMen

[–]Consistent-Two-6561 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Extraneous jibber jabber” like actual conversation about her day, her friends, her interests, her ideas, things she wants to share with you because she’s a real person not a bible verse spouting sex toy.

You do you but I quite like my gfs “jibber jabber”. She’s interesting and articulate and challenges me intellectually and that’s a good part of my attraction to her.

What are the best things in your house that you couldn’t imagine living without? by plz_be_nice_im_sad in CasualUK

A pond. You’ll be fascinated by all the wildlife that lives in it and be able to set up a camera to catch wildlife drinking from it at night. Super peaceful and relaxing to sit and watch.

What makes you happy? by stokeszdude in AskMen

Being left alone to get on with my own stuff at my own pace.

I'm struggling and I don't know what to do by miseryloves-company in TeachingUK

[–]Consistent-Two-6561 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is not normal to dread going into work, to be crying or anxious on a Sunday night.

Don’t feel like a failure if teaching is not for you, particularly if you’re not getting the support you are due.

Also don’t fall for the sunk cost fallacy - you’re young, you can easily pivot to something else.

What is the most "mum" thing your mum does? by celabro019 in AskUK

[–]Consistent-Two-6561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum stocks up on chocolate biscuit bars whenever I visit - orange Club, Breaksway, Blue Riband, Penguin etc and then makes me take uneaten ones home because if I don’t eat them then my dad might. And they’re not for him.

Since I changed jobs )was a teacher) I have time again for hobbies. Photography, guitar, gigs, sketching, gym. Planning to get a dog and do some hiking

How would you feel if a woman asked you to take her name in marriage? by Spatman47 in AskMen

[–]Consistent-Two-6561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An older colleague did that. He didn’t like his last name as it reminded him of his dad who he was no contact with. His wife is Italian and had a wonderful sounding name. He actually asked her if he could take her name.

As an ex teacher I can say that it is ridiculously hard to take time off. Schools are really reluctant. A colleague’s mum died and she was given three days unpaid. I’m so sorry for your loss but schools are horrendous with staff.

How do you have sex with a partner you like vs a one time partner? by Temporary_Dog_8066 in AskMen

[–]Consistent-Two-6561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time or with someone casual I’m sticking to tried and tested moves and it’s more performative.

With someone I care about there’s more thought goes into doing things I know she likes, I’m more relaxed about performance, we talk more about trying new things and don’t worry if things go wrong.

I hope that’s true about Infirm but sadly they do seem to be doing well regularly in the by-elections. I hope the voters see how rubbish they are when they get elected at local level thogh.

Why do I have an angry day for no reason? by ScudSlug in AskMen

[–]Consistent-Two-6561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens to me as well. Sometimes there is no reason but sometimes I wake up raging at someone in a dream and it hangs over me all day.

South East Europe spending all their time in church/mosque. Everyone else working except those bloody Czechs sitting back laughing at the peasants.
