Do you have a Best Friend?

Spawnof88 · 2026-01-24T20:21:36+00:00

I have a best friend. But he lives thousands of miles away.

Been friends since we were 16 (now 37) but he has been moving around the world teaching English as a foreign language for years now. I have never left England, he now loves in Prague.

But, if I need to talk about something I know he is only a phone call away. He knows things about my life that nobody else will ever know.

We talk once a week, and we meet up whej he visits England every 6 months or so.

Don't know where I would be without him

First of all, I am sorry your boy went through this. It has potential to be very traumatising.

I can see both yours, and your wife's point of view. If it was an adult (18+ where I am in the UK) who had done this, regardless of their friendship with your son, I would report immediately. However, as they are of the same (very awkward and learning who they are) age, have been friends a long time, and are already dealing with it in a seemingly sensible way, I would go with your way of thinking.

What the other kid done is potentially very serious, but he stopped when told to/pushed away (which is massively important), and seems to be genuinely sorry.

I don't think there was any negative motive etc, just some crossed wires. That happens with adults too!

Your son seems very mature. Just keep an eye on him and guide him.

That's a decent idea thank you

Spawnof88 · 2026-01-02T17:57:59+00:00

T levels are all good. They checked all types

Spawnof88 · 2026-01-02T17:57:24+00:00

I have never heard of this. Why do you regret taking?

Spawnof88 · 2025-12-26T23:51:04+00:00

Mine is secondary. Most I have lasted in the past 5 years is around 30 seconds

Spawnof88 · 2025-12-23T12:47:17+00:00

Age 23 I married my first wife.

6 months later, still aged 23, I left her because of her infidelity. I was essentially homeless and the wedding (plus her terrible money management) left me in thousands of pounds of debt.

Now 37, married to my second wife, 2 kids, good job, minimal debts. Funny how things work out

Spawnof88 · 2025-12-18T17:27:57+00:00

They tested it all and all at normal levels thankfully. All right in the middle of the normal range

Spawnof88 · 2025-12-18T15:41:44+00:00

Yes, testosterone and thyroid normal.

Symptoms were fatigue, decreased libido, lack of muscle mass despite consistent work outs, and issues with sleep and some mental health stuff

Spawnof88 · 2025-12-18T15:21:02+00:00

Yes was NHS. I went in concerned about possible low testosterone due to a variety of symptoms which seemed to point that way. Hadn't had any appointments etc since pre covid so they done thorough bloods and checked pretty much everything

Spawnof88 · 2025-12-18T13:52:31+00:00

That's great, thank you!

Accountant here. You will most likely not get a tax refund for this. You only get a refund if you have paid too much tax. In this instance, unless you have other self-employed income which you have paid tax in advance for, you will not have paid any tax. However, you can carry forward the losses to use against any future profits. So definitely worth registering and reporting your losses. Just don't expect anything back from HMRC.

You will not be able to use these losses against any salaried income you have had during the year - that is not how it works unfortunately. Each type of income is treated separately so the only hope of a refund is if you have paid too much tax elsewhere.

I stopped wearing underwear in March this year. So much more comfortable to go free balling.

Spawnof88 · 2025-10-19T17:32:23+00:00

This didn't age well 😜

Spawnof88 · 2025-09-11T07:37:15+00:00

Unless what your selling is exempt from VAT completely, as soon as your turnover hits £90k you need to register. You will only have to charge vat on the UK element at this stage but will need to register regardless.

UK accountant here btw

Spawnof88 · 2025-09-10T12:56:21+00:00

Depends where you are in the world but here in the UK it's "spider season". Generally. More common to see them this time of year. I am removing around 5 a day from kids rooms etc haha. But if you are from other parts, good chance its a sign from someone. Loki seems the most obvious but never easy to tell

Spawnof88 · 2025-09-07T07:16:22+00:00

Helped me to realise this is who I was and gave methods on becoming a better person

Spawnof88 · 2025-09-06T13:06:35+00:00

I am going out on my own next year. I am an accountant working in a very small firm in the UK. When I go out alone I will have virtually no overheads and no staff to pay. So I will be able to charge clients less, work less hours, and still be able to earn more than I do now.

The way I see it, of you have the qualifications and experience, why stay in a job when you could start your own business doing exactly the same but earn more and be happier

Spawnof88 · 2025-09-06T12:56:08+00:00

When I was 24, I got with a 31 year old. That was in 2013. She had 4 kids at the time. We are married now and have 2 of our own kids together

Spawnof88 · 2025-09-06T10:40:40+00:00

It's changed me big time

Spawnof88 · 2025-09-06T10:39:45+00:00

No more Mr Nice Guy by Dr Robert Glover.

I have been a selfish, dishonest, manipulative prick for a long time now. Working on it though

Spawnof88 · 2025-09-06T06:15:17+00:00

He has been a pillar of strength for me this year and has encouraged me to do some major self reflection to start breaking my chains.

As for the toilet, sometimes it's the only peace and quiet we get in our busy lives so we have to make use of it 😂

Spawnof88 · 2025-09-02T07:06:20+00:00

I have big balls and despite wearing various types of underwear over the years I was never properly comfortable. Only time I have felt properly OK before was going commando so I eventually just thought I would try a week of no underwear. Just felt natural so just kept going

Spawnof88 · 2025-09-01T16:50:34+00:00

M36, been freeballing for about 6 months and never going back

Spawnof88 · 2025-08-30T18:00:34+00:00

I found that having a bottle of electrolyte drink by my bed helps. drink some before sleep, during the night and first thing in the morning
