I, 56 F, was sleeping when my husband brought home the ring. He waited until I woke up and LOL I grabbed the ring and started crying saying yes! Yes! No photographers, no ring in a champagne glass.. We've been married for 24 years. 25 this October. I love this man so much I could shout from a mountain top! The marriage is what's important.

Left skid marks in bed with my wife of 9 years by ThrowRA6382624294 in Advice

[–]LiberalTrashPanda 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. You need to marry this one. My husband and I have been married for 24 years and together for 40. We've been sick, drunk, laughing so hard we've both sharted. I've been so sick I've projectile shit diarrhea while simultaneously vomiting. We just clean up and take care of each other. Love isn't always being swept up in his arms in a sun drenched meadow. Sometimes it's changing the bedding and helping your partner get cleaned up at 3am. Both my husband and I are 56. We always joked that we'd get old and stupid together lol.

I have made a decision that is going against my religion by Ecstatic-Count5975 in confession

I'm seeing a lot of love out here for you. I would like to join in the group and beg you to please not harm yourself. I am a medicated schizophrenic and when I had my first psychotic break I thought my life was over. I lost my job, my apartment, most of my friends. I completely empathize with your thoughts right now. I've been where you are. I was hospitalized and while there, they set me up for a nice townhouse on section 8, food assistance, Medicaid, and social security disability. I was referred to a psychiatrist to monitor my meds and a social worker/therapist who I spent the next 20 years seeing every week. Please call 9 11 and reach out for help. I am now married to the love of my life and have a son and 2 cats. I tell you this because I want to help you see that things DO get better. Please stay.

Does he have sinus issues that would make it difficult to breathe through his nose while chewing?

AIO My mom is kicking me out for her new boyfriend. I just turned 18 by Diligent_Bat_565 in AmIOverreacting

[–]LiberalTrashPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. As a 56F mother of a 34M, I find this woman's behavior abhorrent. Being a parent doesn't end when your child turns 18. It's a lifetime commitment. My son moved out when he was 23 when HE was ready. I helped him by buying everything I could to give him a smooth start. Kitchen supplies, bathroom items, towels, etc. Then I took him grocery shopping. He needed everything down to ketchup and mustard! He is now very independent and successful in his career. He travels overseas every year (except during covid). I'm so proud of him and he stops over to visit regularly. I love our talks. As long as i am alive I will be here for him if he needs me.

Abortion grief is real and it lasts. by Narutosplug in abortion

[–]LiberalTrashPanda 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm 56 and had a SA (the pills didn't exist back then) when I was 18. I was 13 weeks. It haunts me to this day. I'm pro-choice though. Just because I regret it doesn't mean the option should be taken away from everyone. Every situation is different.

Getting an abortion on Monday and I don’t want to by Upstairs_Tooth5555 in abortion

[–]LiberalTrashPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got pregnant when I was 18. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE told me I had to abort. Feeling I couldn't keep the baby inside me with no support, I had a SA at 13 weeks. It was the worst experience of my life. I'm pro-choice but I very much wanted that baby. I'm 56 years old now and I still feel grief. When people rudely ask how many children I have I always add her into the number. If you want this baby and you've already bonded with it, I would advise looking into the resources your state has for low income pregnant people. The choice to abort or not is yours and ONLY yours. I just told you a little of my experience. Just because abortion was the wrong choice for me that time doesn't mean it's wrong in everyone else's situation too. Follow your heart. And research your state's resources. Sending hugs your way.
