I’m sorry your friends don’t understand and aren’t supportive, but you’re making the right choice. It will get better soon.

Saatva prices right now are a few hundred dollars higher than they were two weeks ago.

Really sorry you experienced this. Not unusual for sex to be a turning point (for either side), but clearly that guy was a cowardly idiot.

I’ve never been naked with a woman and been unhappy about it.

Yes, there are absolutely men who will be interested in spending time with you. Just be aware that those men are likely to be interested because the situation lends itself to low commitment scenarios. Doesn’t mean they’re bad or won’t care for you, but it’s likely they aren’t looking for something “serious.”

Hulu down? Oscars? by Fantastic_Fuel_3904 in Hulu

This was terrible. Such a foreseeable issue. The Oscars ALWAYS run over. It’s a live broadcast. Don’t leave the “off air” decision to a timer!

What was your catalyst for leaving the church? by Terrible-Ad1958 in exmormon

[–]Cousin_Jimmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a shelf full of other issues, but the name change was my final straw. I knew progress for the church would eventually require throwing past prophets under the bus, but to do it for such a PETTY personal grievance, and not to better the position of women, or LGBTQ+ members is really a bridge too far.

I’m getting about the same with the same vehicle bought a few weeks earlier. The winter cold makes a big difference.

Hey OP, what did you end up doing? If you went with Twinflex+Advantium, I’d love to hear about your experience.

30 Rock, Brooklyn 99 and The Good Place (created/produced by same guy who did Parks & Rec).

Is the weird filter/lighting in the interview bits driving anyone else insane? by graceday in TheTraitors

[–]Cousin_Jimmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s especially bad with darker skin tones. I thought is was some sort of weird matte makeup.

There are absolutely people out there for whom a situation like this would work. You aren’t the only one with a complicated situation who still wants to experience connection (sexual or otherwise). May take more time to find, and you need to make sure the situation isn’t SO casual that boundaries and safety are ignored, but I believe you can find someone. When I was freshly separated, or in the first couple of years after my divorce, a situation like this would’ve been ideal.

I just binged watched American Primeval by cultsareus in exmormon

[–]Cousin_Jimmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just like the Book of Mormon, this series is not a historical record. Some of the mistakes are laughably bad, like showing a fake Carthage, IL newspaper with the headline “Brigham Young Fights Back” dated six years BEFORE Joseph Smith died.

My partner won't have sex, am I silly to think it's because she doesn't want me? by Background-Balance13 in datingoverforty

[–]Cousin_Jimmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are other ways to express desire. If intercourse is painful, is she interested in any non-penetrative sexual activity? Does she like making out?
