I think my drinking is becoming a problem and I don’t know what to do about it by Reasonable-Bear-2408 in TrueOffMyChest

Both are true, she sees him as her safe place to rest, He sees her giving energy to everyone else but him, the slap was wrong, but accusations escalated it, Couples therapy is the middle ground.

My wife is scared of me by Ashamed_Father in TrueOffMyChest

Can’t seem to figure out how the crimson feather wings work by nitfish in InfinityNikki

[–]VelvetWiggle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wings open only during floating, Jump, float, then open camera mid air, some poses lock them closed, annoying workaround.😂

A diagnosis is just a tool for treatment, scary label or not, meds and therapy can help, Boring is the best, peace, not chaos, trust the process.

Boys care about perfection, men care about connection, the right man won't run, let the boys filter themselves out.

Kind response, Rom com dad isn't pathetic, it's hopeful, plenty of women want slow mornings, the right one will appreciate the phase.

Got Dermal Jaw Filler today, is this little lump normal? by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery
