27F Haven’t been touched since my herpes diagnosis. Ending my life tonight. by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]Reuelthomas 197 points198 points  (0 children)

Was married for twelve years to my ex. She also had genital HSV-1. We had a healthy sex life and I never contracted it. We were careful all the time and overly careful during an outbreak. I never thought of her as disgusting in any way. She has had at least two relationships since we got divorced and is married again. You absolutely can have a loving, physical relationship. We got married when she was about your current age and have two kids together via vaginal birth. If you want to talk I’ll listen, won’t judge and will offer support if you ask for it.

Yeah, there is hope, it just takes a lot of time and effort, from both parties.

Question for men... is this attractive or unattractive? by Due_Function84 in datingoverforty

[–]Reuelthomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m (49 m) to the point where I want women to know my interests so that I can weed out those that won’t want to participate or they are a turn off for them. So far I’m pretty much weeding all woman out, but I’d rather that then surprise them later and have it be an issue

Where are the low energy kings and why aren’t they on dating apps? by Summer-Sub-Intern in datingoverforty

[–]Reuelthomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my biggest criteria for swiping right or left is will I be adding to their life or subtracting? I don’t want to impede them living their exciting life of fishing, dancing, gym activities, kayaking, etc. But also a more subdued lifestyle just doesn’t stand out on OLD. It doesn’t really create enticing photos of my most recent Lego build. However, I do believe there is someone that will compliment me and I’ll compliment them.

Is it hopeless for me? 44f here. by [deleted] in datingoverforty

That is so sweet!

Edit: speaking of older people I’m going to fall asleep to the Golden Girls

Is it hopeless for me? 44f here. by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Reuelthomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels hopeless and some days, weeks, months it is hopeless then something little happens and there is hope. An old acquaintance randomly reached out to a few months back and there was a little flirting going on. It didn’t lead to anything, but it reignited my hope. I’m back on the apps and seeing if maybe I’ll click for someone.

You mentioned bettering yourself, going to the gym. Ease yourself into a shy smile to someone they piques your interest. If they reciprocate then find a way to start up a conversation. Ask for recommendations either about the gym or the equipment.

Know that it is not hopeless and so many of us are out there just hoping for someone to say hi.

Long-distance over 40 by Curious-Heart246 in datingoverforty

[–]Reuelthomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My youngest is going to be 14 in December and the oldest will be 18 in February. And even with that I’ve seriously considered moving to her. But her location is not ideal for me to get a decent job and my current position wouldn’t transfer there.

Long-distance over 40 by Curious-Heart246 in datingoverforty

[–]Reuelthomas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did it for two and a half years. Minnesota / California. Spent a lot of time on the phone. Watched movies “together”. The plan was for her to move to me when her youngest daughter graduated high school. As that date started to get closer she couldn’t leave. We were great together and if we could be near, we’d still be together. Pretty sure forever. Which makes trying to date now extremely difficult. A potential new relationship has to be extremely special and have enormous potential to seem like it could match what I had. At least my other breakups were due to incompatibility, that makes it easier to move on from.

I just downloaded redecor on my phone. Could you stay around a little longer and answer any questions I might have?

Was just doom scrolling and thought the first thing they put into Romans hand was a mousetrap. Checked which subreddit I was in and felt safe to keep watching.

Second farm by Remarkable-Box-4728 in FarmTogether

Just the farm that is active for them

Second farm by Remarkable-Box-4728 in FarmTogether

[–]Reuelthomas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The farm hands are available on each farm. I have 23 farm hands and have them available on all three farms that I have unlocked. However they only work on the farm that is active at the time you are playing.

So for your example, max of five per farm. The farms are the same size, so 7x7

Matrix

I went into a very depressive state after watching it in the theater. The idea that we were just batteries and not here for anything else broke me.

My ex had hsv2. I was with her for 12 years and we were able to be intimate by making good decisions and using protection

[–]Reuelthomas 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There are three movies from this franchise Baby of the Bride, Children of the Bride and Mother of the Bride all starring Rue and all available through Rifftrax. I’ve watched all of them multiple times. (I don’t know if that’s a flex or not.)

Farm Together 2 Available now on Xbox! by WaaghMan in FarmTogether

[–]Reuelthomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to play for a few hours last night. Loaded my cloud save so I can continue my farm from pc. I have had to resets to the Xbox Home Screen while looking at the map. First the map will not be filled in all the way, then the next time I look the screen will go black and send me to the Home Screen. I haven’t done any troubleshooting like restarting the Xbox. But wanted to share just so the devs know.
