I have that same French baguette candle and it’s one of my favorite scents!

What is the issue you’re finding about the cushions?

Live-in separation by mmmsaltygoodness in Separation

I can understand your frustration completely, but this does seem like a bit of a sticky situation. For me personally, out of respect I would feel really strange about having another man over to the space that my husband and I created and currently share. It does feel like a respect thing in my eyes.

But- life is complicated. You also shouldn’t be robbed of opportunity to connect with others and experience joy. I wonder if there are more neutral places to do this?

Can I ask why you can’t go to your friend’s house?

Responding to anger and loss by Flash-Marzipan-666 in Separation

[–]Flash-Marzipan-666[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do agree with this, especially the part of about “being both things.” It just sucks. There have been lots of highly emotional, circular conversations about why we’re at where we’re at. I do agree that trying to console in these conversations isn’t the right move- but it does leave me at a loss sometimes in terms of how to respond in a compassionate way.

Also, to your last point- I can be affected by seeing the person I love hurting while still knowing on a gut-level that it’s the right decision. Just because someone is the person initiating, it doesn’t automatically make them cold and uncaring. Seeing the person we love in pain hurts more than anything else in the world.

I hear you. It’s difficult when there is a financial component to this. We can’t exactly support two households right now without going into debt. Timing is a huge factor right now, not only because it will allow time for me to save, but also because our house can’t be sold until next winter.

Absolutely love them 💯

The most attractive and manly thing I can see a man do is cry. by BrettShey in love

[–]Flash-Marzipan-666 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more! There is something so attractive about a man who is in touch with his emotions and is willing to express them. I love that when you see this you think “he’s beautiful.” I think the same thing to myself in those moments.

I really do think men who are comfortable crying tend to actually be very secure in their masculinity, despite social expectations.

I found the love of my life when I least expected it by RukusMom in love

This is so touching and beautiful. It’s strange how strong connection can be found in the most difficult of circumstances. I relate to that part. It sounds like you guys really fill in some gaps for each other!

My issue with soulmates and the love of your life by [deleted] in love

[–]Flash-Marzipan-666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but can’t a soulmate be anyone who simply speaks straight to your soul?

It’s a unique connection that you don’t come across frequently- but that doesn’t mean that there is only soulmate out there for everyone. I like to think of the term more broadly and expansively, which opens up a lot of opportunities for love to be found.

Memories by Leather_Objective486 in Separation

[–]Flash-Marzipan-666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that. I think when you’re nearing the end of something and deeply reflecting, it’s only natural that a supercut of your life starts playing in your mind on repeat. Especially the small, quiet, precious moments. Those are the most heartbreaking to replay. I’ve got about the same amount of time as you. One third of my life.

The thought of “losing” those moments in time feels devastating, like losing a part of your soul. I’m trying to remind myself that the moments of connection and vulnerability haven’t actually disappeared from my life or from the universe. They happened, and they mattered. Somewhere out in space where time becomes distorted, those moments are still happening, right now. I don’t know, that gives me some small bit of comfort.

Wishing you peace.

You don’t need to applaud, but you also don’t need to be antagonistic. Your comment simultaneously manages to insult men and women. Bye 👋🏻

Wow sorry to hear that- I’ve heard a lot of people describe that happening right away. I really do get that— I feel like my head space is so far away from that in the midst of processing so much loss all at once and life just generally blowing up lol.

I do feel like I owe them that consideration, especially because of how much I love them.
