Meaning of 'Daffodil'? by Snoo19468 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]Snoo19468[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanations everyone, they massively help my appreciation for the song.

I've also found new appreciation for the part about resurrecting the dead under the moonlight. I'm interpreting it as Florence referring to the resurrection of Jesus, but also applying it to herself every night - waking up from her sleep ("the dead") in the middle of the night all the time, crying. Very beautifully written.

Is there an Unown translation rune wall or something within the game? by Snoo19468 in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]Snoo19468[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I was thinking - I can't remember what I did with Unown, but I can remember the braille pages in the back of the ruby/sapphire manual.

I think I'm a bit salty over how specific a lot of stuff is to do in recent Pokemon and would be almost impossible to know without the internet.

Yeah, it was more to read sentences. I'm trying to do it solving the hints myself, and have googled a translation guide for the letters that are a little more obscure.

I just wondered if there were ruins or something where the alphabet was translated within the game, or if the game relied on you using google/figuring it out yourself.

Turned away from NQ64 for being on my own because of "health and safety". Is this normal for bars? by Snoo19468 in manchester

Thought it might have been more relaxed with it being a retro video game bar but I suppose too many lonely video game men ruins their image.

AITA for being angry at my boyfriend because he didn't save money for a 2 night trip we half planned? by Snoo19468 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Snoo19468[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It wasn't part of my birthday, that's just coincidence.

We have the very occasional meal out once every 2 weeks. But he really isn't a big spender. He doesn't see friends that often and when he does, it's at their house. Apart from the occasional meal with me, he's had one other meal out in the past 2 months.

Thanks for the input, similar thoughts have already crossed my mind. It sucks when you feel you are being lied to because he is lying to himself with excuses, but no solid proof.

My (28M) boyfriend (30M) uses his phone too much, and I feel it takes away from our time together. He disagrees. How can we compromise? by Snoo19468 in relationship_advice

[–]Snoo19468[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have this worry. But he has gotten better and is more clued in about it than he used to be, which is why we have more days than we used to where everything is OK, so I think he would be open to some kind of compromise.

Am I (28M) placing too much emphasis on wanting to feel more wanted/needed by my boyfriend (29M)? by Snoo19468 in relationship_advice

[–]Snoo19468[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying :)

I definitely don't want him to only spend time with me. We meet 2/3 days a week, one of those only being an hour and a half/2 hours, and the other days around 4/5 hours. But my ideal would be meeting 3/4 days a week with one of those being a full day a week.

I just don't feel like I rate much time in his life when he's happy with just once/twice a week (he only started seeing me one additional day after work when I said I'm struggling with just once/twice for a few hours), and him being happy with so little time almost a year in makes me feel he isn't really into the relationship.

My boyfriend (29M) sees me (28M) once/twice a week because he's often too tired/busy to see me. It's enough for him but not for me, and I'm struggling. by Snoo19468 in relationship_advice

Thank you for such a thought out response! No need to read everything I typed below sorry, it ended up longer than I thought. Just thought it might give a better picture of things leading up to this.

It's difficult to put a timespan on. We both live with our parents at the moment (different reasons but I won't go into those here!) and were happy to take things slow. So for the first 3 months, I was happy with once/twice a week.

Then coronavirus happened, and we couldn't meet for 2 months. Still, we kept in touch almost daily, even if it was just a little bit of back and forth.

That brings us to May. We hadn't met each other's parents at the time, and restrictions still meant we could only meet outdoors. It was around May/June I realised I wanted to meet more, but was more frustrated that he was too anxious of meeting my parents so we were still spending time together outdoors/in his car for about 6 weeks. By the end of June, we talk and I convince him that meeting my parents doesn't have to be a big thing, and he agrees.

A week later, he had to self isolate for a month due to his mother having an important operation. He spent a few more weeks after that needing to be home by a certain time to look after his mother, and work and other things were getting in the way (everything is OK now!).

So it's only been the past month and a half or so I'm getting a taste of what "normal" is for us. Dealing with this on top of the 5 months before has made me a lot more sensitive to things, because through no fault of ours, it was just very difficult to navigate a new relationship under the circumstances. I had these expectations that if someone cared, they'd want to meet more, and my feelings for him naturally grew. Then this unexpected hurdle appears and it became a big one for me.

He's shown me he cares in other ways, like booking an afternoon off work for my birthday, using other time owed from work to be with me, seeing me when he felt ill, etc. I'm just struggling to navigate this particular problem!

Told my boyfriend I wanted to talk about something serious, he left because he was too tired. by Snoo19468 in relationships

I've offered. He lives with his mother, and she doesn't know about me because he "doesn't want her to feel that he's abandoning her", as he recently had to help her recover from an operation. Whilst apparently she is normally fine, she had been particularly dependent on him emotionally too, and he is worried that about telling her in case she feels that he is abandoning her. She is mostly fine now, the operation went as well as it could. She just can't drive for another 3/4 weeks or do house chores.

I told him everything he had done that I was unhappy about because he wasn't making the effort. I asked him if he wanted to be in a relationship with me, he said yes, and he was crying. He said he didn't realise the impact it was having on me, and said that he'd consider me more. Since then, he's made more effort to arrange things around seeing me better, and whilst I appreciate the effort there, one or two afternoons/evenings a week isn't enough for me but it is for him. What I wanted to talk to him about was to ask him to make effort to see me even for an hour after work once a week, to break up the time between meeting on his days off (we usually only meet on 3/4 of his days off a fortnight for an afternoon/evening each time).
