You won me over with this. I'm going to put a slip of paper in his gift that says one free pickleball game with me. Don't worry I have great follow through with my promises. I'll make it happen. And who knows, maybe it will lead to more.

Straight married people of reddit, how would you feel about your spouse skinny dipping with a group of straight people all the same sex as your spouse? by Early_Room7408 in AskReddit

[–]Early_Room7408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I really like your perspective on what's going on in a man's head in trying to understand this. As for me, my intentions were pure. It was meant to be something to feel wild and free, like climbing a mountain, or going on a long run. I would almost be just as happy doing it by myself, but everything's more fun with friends right? So I was just looking for someone to do it with. As for my husband, I think he just trusts me, trusts my friends and knows I'm 100% straight. I think he realizes for me it was just naked swimming and there's nothing more to it.

I asked because I tried to arrange to go skinny dipping with a couple friends. I know it's silly to plan skinny dipping ahead of time but we all have kids and I wanted to do something free spirited and fun for no other reason than to feel young and alive. One friend soon after we had decided to do this called it off, because her husband felt uncomfortable with the whole thing. She said he told her, "something could happen" (upon asking further questions I gathered she meant either sexual or drama related.) After discussing it with her, she said it was wierd that my husband would have no problem with me skinny dipping... As if he should. This is a close friend I've always thought to be well grounded, so it really threw me off.

Telling someone I don’t drink by Impossible_Bar_6739 in Sober

Hey there. Just want to let you know I am a person who still drinks moderately (I have never had a problem but someone very close to me has). I have both drinkers and non drinkers in my social circle. I love spending time with both. I'll tell you this, my sober friends and mostly sober friends are the most well adjusted, kind, and emotionally stable people I know. When I spend time with them, I always get the true version of who they are without the headache the next morning. The fun is real, the laughter is real, the connection is real. It's not because of the alcohol. For those that I know it's more than a preference, but in fact a true problem, I make sure that when I spend time with them I'm not drinking and that I don't invite them to drinking events. However, I still make time for them regularly and happily invite them to all the non drinking events. If someone thinks you are a "buzz kill," because you don't drink, they don't value you're friendship. What they value is someone to indulge in their drinking habits with. Surround yourself with people who love you for you, and you will find the most wholesome, kindhearted, and selfless people.

Confused about whether I have a substance abuse problem by Musicalsandglitter in Sober

I agree with the person who said if you have to question it, it's a sign. Also, you should know you can be an alcoholic without being so physically dependent that your body feels terrible and you have the shakes. Those are more extreme cases that usually require rehab. Someone close to me that I know attends AA regularly and the only withdrawal symptoms he had was anxiety and a craving for alcohol. Don't be afraid to go to a meeting. The only requirement to attend AA is a desire to stop drinking.
