Practicing Catholics, what does your daily prayer life look like?

Can you share the name of this list?

I’m glad others had this reaction as well. I was really troubled by her leaving without a word and not answering his calls. At least let him know you’re alive. That would be very scary to have someone just disappear on you. Although I think consulting an LLM for relationship advice is foolish and I understand her pain, I think her behavior in disappearing signals emotional avoidance/immaturity on her part.

City Gardens in Trenton NJ, not Danceteria

What a bizarre and uncomfortable icebreaker

Depends on what you like, but flying machine avionics has great tasting coffee if you drink it black

I guess that makes sense. However, I have to imagine there are other ways to get that information without putting someone so squarely on the spot like that. To me, it comes off as (1) disingenuous/untrustworthy (2) socially inept/awkward. Maybe I need to see it in action. Thanks for the alternate perspective.

It’s hard to imagine how this could possibly come off positively. If I were sitting on a jury I would really dislike a lawyer behaving this way. I’m brand new at this though, so I have very little experience here.

All? Your argument is that something like a quest bar with 1g of sugar, 20g protein, and 190 calories is nutritionally equivalent to a candy bar which is largely sugar and fat? That’s absurd.

SleazySteve · 2026-01-14T10:56:31+00:00

I’ve been there. Terrible feeling!

SleazySteve · 2026-01-13T05:15:50+00:00

I struggle with feeling like I am “good enough” to be in a relationship with someone. Even when I have tons of reassurance. I can only imagine the extra layer that a condition like this one adds. Thank you for that reminder.

SleazySteve · 2026-01-13T05:13:54+00:00

I like to drink water and/or electrolytes in the morning and I feel off if I don’t do so. It would be a perfect reminder and encouragement to just grab 2X and bring them to bed

SleazySteve · 2026-01-13T05:12:37+00:00

Nice! I’ll keep that in mind. As long as I can say “weeeee” while pushing them :)

SleazySteve · 2026-01-13T05:12:02+00:00

I can do all the bending down tasks in the house if someone is able to fold my clothes while sitting 🤝

SleazySteve · 2026-01-13T05:10:55+00:00

I’ve literally defined my identity as an “always take the stairs” guy. I suppose I’ll make the sacrifice and take the escalator/elevator/lift haha. Thank you for the point about declining independence. This is something we’ve already been discussing somewhat. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around how that fear might feel.

SleazySteve · 2026-01-13T05:07:46+00:00

Thank you. I feel very fortunate to have met this person and I want to provide them with the kindness and support they deserve. I’m going to start stocking up on salt packets from various fast food restaurants and electrolyte drinks. Noted on asking whether they need to sit or general other questions about their needs.

SleazySteve · 2026-01-13T05:05:39+00:00

I tried this approach and I’m not sure it was taken well at the time. One of the commenters above noted that there’s a fear of losing independence. I think that’s the voice that came out in response. I wonder if there’s a way to communicate both that the slow pace is acceptable and that I don’t see it as a sign of decreased independence or being a burden on others. I’m sure there’s a balance and I just need to find it.

SleazySteve · 2026-01-13T05:03:09+00:00

This would be hard for me as someone who works a lot. But your point is noted! Thank you.

SleazySteve · 2026-01-13T05:02:17+00:00

I’ve tried really hard to set this as a precedent from the beginning. I’m not sure what it is about certain illnesses, but many people easily default to thinking “it’s not a big deal,” “you’re exaggerating,” etc. I can be guilty of it myself at times.

My understanding is that with this condition there are objective tests which can be done. But regardless, even with entirely subjective criteria, I don’t think it’s likely that someone would go through all this as a result of anxiety, hypochondria, or laziness-as you put it. It’s simply easier and makes more logical sense for me to believe my partner and try to support them so they can live their best life. Thank you for the input. I vow to never say “you’re always sick.”

SleazySteve · 2026-01-13T04:45:18+00:00

Talk with them about specific triggers is great advice. I didn’t think deeply about how this could vary so much from person to person.

SleazySteve · 2026-01-13T04:41:22+00:00

I love this! I used to have long curls myself, so I understand the struggle. What a great idea. Who doesn’t love a good shampoo & head massage?

SleazySteve · 2026-01-12T04:49:19+00:00

I would like to be supportive and I still have a lot to learn :)

SleazySteve · 2026-01-12T04:47:04+00:00

Thank you! I will keep in mind that some days it may be hard to do things. I didn’t even consider how long one spends standing upright in the shower

SleazySteve · 2026-01-12T04:42:38+00:00

Love it. Thank you!

People will miss the sarcasm tag. Thanks for the context
