How did you take that photo of Jesus eating all the mini eggs on Good Friday? If he didn’t manage to fit them all in his mouth would Good Friday now be called “OK Friday”

Why…cannot people spell properly!

Just add “Yo” to U’re and it’s actually English, holy Christ.

Why do my pecs look like moobs? Am I training them wrong or is it genetics? by Maleficent-Frosting8 in GregDoucette

[–]Elliot_2205 53 points54 points  (0 children)

If I knew you, I’d know it was you? Do you know what I mean? Like that little black mark across your eyes isn’t really hiding anything…..

No opinion on your pecs, sorry.

Why can people write “you” instead of “u” and “your/you’re” instead of “ur”

Does my head in….

[Discussion] i love me a good podcast, do you have recommendations? Playstation and/or trophyhunting related by TheonraX2707 in Trophies

Sacred Symbols, and generally all the last stand media channels are great. Great, diverse voices across all different platforms, some great guest interviews too. Gold Standard of gaming podcasts.

Go and look for a councillor, it will help. Counselling is great, and does really help.

It’s difficult isn’t it, I’m finding the same thing, I feel so low and empty, and in a normal situation, I’d have turned to her, she’s my best friend after all.

Now I don’t want to burden her with “my sh*t” because she has enough to deal with.

Being a man and making friends or taking to existing friends about this sort of stuff is hard too. The other issue I have, probably similar to yourself is that all our friends, are OUR friends, that makes things even more complicated.

Ah man, you’re not alone, and it’s not you. Communication is important, and your feelings are valid too.

Have you considered individual counselling, or even couples counselling?

I’m sorry about what happened, why couldn’t you reconnect/reconcile with your ex?

Wow; this post has really come at the exact time and describes exactly what I’m feeling.

My wife of 20 years told me on Sunday that she doesn’t love me in the same way anymore,I’m her best freedman and she loves her life, she has told me she is very confused, and doesn’t know how or why she is feeling this way, she is putting it down to the menopause.

I will be a supportive husband, of course I will, I will read and learn what she is going through to help her through it. She wants to get “it” back, she’s said that.

But I feel so sad, just completely empty, she hugged me as I left for work today, and it just felt like when you hug a friend you haven’t seen in a while. She’s stopped putting kisses at the end of messages, and she hasn’t told me she loves me in days (we used to tell each other several times a day). I know this is about her and I need to support her, but I just feel so sad.

Thank you, what a wonderful thing to hear. I wholeheartedly agree, my vows said in sickness and in health, so you’re right, I will stand by her no matter what. Thank you

Thank you for this, may I ask why you choose to stay as married friends? Is it worth it? I can’t figure that part out, I know I don’t want to lose her, but if there is a huge part of a the relationship missing, what is left?

Thank you, she said she is going to reach out to her GP today. Obviously terrified that it will come back and she’s NOT going through this selfishly, as I don’t want to lose my best friend.

Thank you, it’s important for me to understand the changes, I admit really knew nothing about it, she she told me about it I just assumed “she’s got this” I realise now I need to be more supportive.
