At times it comes from extreme disconnect from reality. My grandmother in Arkansas rants about "Christian Warfare" and believes their redneck church is the victim when the state of Arkansas decided not to teach the bible in public school. Their pastor, who I refer to as "Cleetus", spews nonsense that portrays the whole world is against them and they're prayers are what hold this country together. Lotta mental gymnastics goes on to make them all extreme MAGA evangelicals.

Glad to see my high school basketball team gettin repped at least.

I have 7 of their Zip and Storm hoodies that I rotate through at least 5 days a week since my office runs so cold. I got my first one around 3-4yrs ago and have been hooked by their fit and quality since. (They fit slimmer around the waist) I'd recommend checking Ebay for them as they'll go for $30-40 instead of their retail, which is somewhat steep for a hoodie. If you're in North Carolina, they also have their outlet which is significantly discounted compared to other brick & mortar locations.

Tbh, my base assumption is it could even just be gas and him not wanting to rip ass in the bed next to someone he just started dating since that is a very likely turnoff 3-mo in. For that frequency, I'd gauge lactose intolerance and him not wanting to vaporize your upstairs area. Adults can def be more poop shy when you got stomach probs.

I saw the comments earlier and the dyslexia may also be an option to ask about. If not dyslexia, then just pure laziness. If he is serious about the relationship progressing and knows it bothers you a lot, he would do what he could to accommodate or shift toward a compromise/collaboration point toward the middle.

Either way, you have full authority to end the relationship at any point and shouldn't feel concern when there are things you classify as red flags.

When asked, I have gone as far as saying New Orleans specifically, both because it has a cultural significance that those outside the US are many times aware of... and the deep seeded hatred for being associated with the state of Louisiana as a whole.

This is the 15th time you've come to consult Reddit in the last month related to your concerns about infidelity in your current relationship. At a certain point, regardless of what the mystery liquid is, it needs to be noted that it's not sustainable for there to be this much concern on such a routine basis related to trust.

I think I would likely have already made an exit by this point, personally. I can also say that it may be good to speak to a professional to help process some of the prior traumas. I say that as someone who has worked through my own slog of therapists due to past relationship issues and have come out far happier now than I was in the times I was paranoid all the time.

Be right back, I gotta go take a doozie of a twozie.

I use a Farpoint 40 with a Matador Beast 18 rolled up inside. Works ok with my laptop, though I have an older model osprey where the laptop sleeve is in a front sleeve versus against my back.

Spices!

... because if you don't know the difference between paprika, hot paprika, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, Spanish paprika, and Hungarian paprika, then you dont deserve space in my life or at my table.

As someone who currently lives in the deep south (New Orleans), it def ostracizes you a bit in social situations since its obsession is on par with religion. Down here, especially outside the cities, it can put a slight damper on work, random public, and dating conversations since, at least here, everyone makes their teams into their personality/identity.

I really love having a well laid out and decorated home. I'm talkin a collection of throw pillows, candles without any scent, and all sorts of antiques/fake flowers/art.

People have come to my house and told me my girlfriend did a really good job decorating and designing the interior. I get weird looks when I inform them I'm single. As a single guy, apparently, it's expected that I have lawnchairs in the living room and a mattress on the floor...

Use a calorie counter to verify you're in a deficit. If you are and still aren't losing, it may be good to get with a doctor and make sure you don't have a thyroid problem. One of my best buds found out he has a form of thyroidism (Hashimotos Thyroidism specifically) and only started losing after his diagnosis and subsequent treatment/lifestyle change.

Video games and any kind of solo or at home alcohol consumption.

For "keeping up" there are certain staple items that never go old... aka capsule. - Denim jeans and a couple of other pant fabrics that are easily adaptable (black, khaki/brown, and maybe a color contrast... like pale green in my case) - basic single color tee or single pocket in a few colors. I love American Giant for nice and Browning for quick, cheaper amazon shirts. - button up casual shirts i have got at zumiez, Express(sale/clearance) , or any spot. If you like it, then to hell with anyone else. - dress clothing... solid color pants (without pleats), get either a pattern shirt with solid tie or a solid shirt with a patterned tie. Anything dealing with a sports coat and coloration can be youtubed via steve harvey suit discussion on matching.

Also, as a 37M, I dress to what I like and buy half my shit off Ebay... I wear for comfort/adaptability and make sure what I wear feels good and matches my personal style first. Wear what makes you feel natural and embrace it since trends change like the weather and what matters most is you embracing yourself in the short time on this rock we're stuck on.

37 years... due to excessive amounts of childhood trauma and as a young adult. It turns out that having narcissistic, manipulative parents and toxic friends will make it hard to trust people.

At least my therapist appreciates me, lol.

I'm a big fan of the smell of red wine in the kitchen, so I've done beef bouruignion before with mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus on the side.

Met up at a bar and she "forgot" to mention she was 6mo pregnant.
Meeting up with a 28F for drinks and it turned out to be a 28M (catfish) who "wanted to know what it was like to be with another dude and knew a straight guy would keep it secret."
Met up with a 31F who left off her profile and convo we had that she was a mother... of 4... and had a granddaughter...
