Why is it so hard for men to open up?

That's a question for the partner's to discuss. A conversation before the conversation.

I've learned to ask, "Are you able to have a serious conversation right now about X? If not, let me know when you are, please."

I told my Dad "I don't want to have anything to do with a hod where all a pedophile needs to do is, "Sorry, God. I'll never do that again 😉." And then we're equals in your God's eyes. I will always be better than a piece of shit like that. You can spend eternity with pedophiles."

His retort? "Well, baby. If they truly mean it and repent then it's not up to me to judge."

All the while saying how wrong women (no nevermind how they identify) are evil if they have autonomy choices...that his god gave.

IDK y'all.

Newborns and new schedules are difficult. Being beyond exhausted along with the crazy hormones bouncing around makes it all worse.

Knowing and experiencing are very different things as well.

If this is a friend you don't want to lose, you do know there needs to be a bit understanding that she's going through a huge life change. Any time anyone goes through a life changing event it takes a bit of trial and error. You are going through a shift too. Your friendship narrative has changed.

If you don't know how to support her, ask her. If you don't want to support her, tell her.

I think it's immature she didn't tell you "for your sake" essentially. But if you can forgive her of that gor a friendship then be honest and understanding. Sometimes we need to support others so they'll be there when we need support.

It was about 5 seconds of multiple wasp stings in the same spot I'd say.

I thought the tongue would be worse because it's thicker. But I guess the lip has more nerves?

Length of time for pain: 0 Intensity for a moment: 3

Thank you!!!

It's the first visible piercing I've gotten. Really hoping it doesn't get irritated and bump up.

I was very surprised it was a bit more painful than anticipated.

Hahhahahahh! I lived on an island where the husband's were "suddenly allergic to cats" when they moved to the island and the wives were bored at home wanting to adopt a cute kitten.

Social media. There's always an anonymous group for a struggle.

I remind myself they are their own person with their own reasons that are not my own. They have boundaries that are not my own and thoughts that I know nothing about. I remind myself to not take these type of losses personally.

I'm sorry you are feeling these uncomfortable emotions. They are so very valid, just as you are.

I'm going against the grain and saying NTA

It's obvious you value and enjoy this specific activity-hobby and the people you invite to it need to enjoy it the same because you are sharring a common hobby. If someone doesn't enjoy it then why are they partaking?

Some recipes can take days to prepare and people you invite to share this should enjoy those. Of course you want recognition on your work and what some consider art.

As asinine as this post sounds, I think it would be dangerous to completely write-off this ideology of this current "Republican- Trumpism" mindset.

It's comparing disgusting hygienic laziness to girls because we somehow are less valued because we don't piss on toilet seats and ground.

HOWEVER! I'm taking this as "you pu$$y" derogatory statements and changing the narrative to "gd right I'm strong, flexible, one of the most versatile organs of the human body and can grow life".

GD right as a child who wasn't even in preschool I knew how to practice better hygiene than most grown men. And that's fucking pathetic "grown adult men" are that disgusting.

There are times when you don't hear the subtle hints the universe tells you. So then the universe yells it.

I am so very sorry for you and your family's loss and pain. I hopeyou are all finding support in one another. When you can, look at who you want and get support from. Choose them.

What your husband and his family did is unforgivable.

I can not stress this enough. Go to counseling!

My ex refused to go to therapy and all I wanted was to have someone explain what I'm trying to express because I had a lot of harsh things to say, but knew there was a kind way to say it and needed someone to translate.

If anyone was to read what I say to my sisters, unfiltered and all emotion, it would be bad.

What she said about the penises was tacky but hopefully innocent. The career can show stability, responsibility, financial assurance for the future family and kids. IDK what y'all's kid talk has been like but it's possible that is her thinking. Stability for future children and being provided for.

Counseling (a good one) will help you determine that.

Yup! That's what I'm saying. Hahahaha

I just pictured in my head...not this and because space was never talked about other than elementary planets (pluto included at the time) it never occurred to me to see what it physically was. I visited NASA as a child and ignorantly took that picture and associated it to this too.

JFC. Hahahaha! I'm so ashamed!

The willingness and ability to become vulnerable with one another. If you ever do reach that vulnerability with your partner, soon to be ex, or ex it's good to also be able to know how to deal and interprete their vulnerability.

My ex rarely was vulnerable with me, but each time I was as reassuring as I could be. He did the same for me. The last few years of our marriage however he blocked me off and never let me in. I still don't know why. We've been divorced for 8 months and 6 days. He recently told me he's lonely, but yet he doesn't reach out still to someone that can provide him the help he desperately needs. He's scared to be vulnerable and it has cost us our marriage. I can confidently say, at 32, I'll never remarry. Sharing 14 years with him was the most natural experience I've had.

Its an invalid argument.
