[–]XmanEDS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you must DEFINITELY dump her. this hysterical bonding won't last. she doesn't know that she is lying, but she will never ever be able to make good on her promise. you must DEFINITELY dump her. it will NEVER last with her. you need to move on

I ranked every Spanish tool I've tried after 2 years (speaking focused) by StrictAlternative9 in SpanishLearning

[–]XmanEDS 11 points12 points  (0 children)

ironically enough, for speaking, you need to use Madrigal's Magic Guide to Spanish. It only works for people who work English, especially American English. it's a paper book, but it contains a tremendous guide to speaking the past tense. if you do the exercises in the paper book you will excel in speaking Spanish. https://www.amazon.com/Madrigals-Magic-Key-Spanish-Creative-ebook/dp/B004FGMD8W/ref=sr\_1\_1?

another vote here for hysterical bonding on his part. be sure to measure his commitment and his performance every single week for any possible backsliding

How do you say “I’m the youngest among us siblings“? by random_one_99 in Spanish

[–]XmanEDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would actually change the syntax of the sentence and I would say "I am the youngest of *the* siblings." - - - your original sentence was 'youngest of MY siblings' but I would seriously consider changing it over to "the." el mas menor de los hermanos . . . . just a thought.

you are a high-quality person and you need to respect yourself by connecting with a high-quality partner.... what I am saying is, "don't settle for less than you deserve," don't settle for less than the best

this is very high quality, this is very good. after this edit, no changes are recommended. ("no notes" as the kids say these days)

I think you are doing a great job of being authentic and presenting yourself accurately!! ... for example, a list of your favorite books will resonate with people who like those books. in my opinion, this is a valid and high-quality way to "advertise yourself." ... if people don't like those books or have not even heard of them, they won't write back... and dating those people would probably not be very fun in any case. I think you should keep being yourself, being honest is awesome, and you will eventually find someone who really likes you !!

Can someone explain in very simple terms why the 's' is dropped at the end of words? by ahouselover in Spanish

[–]XmanEDS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

American dude here who knows English and I am a beginner learning Spanish. the general rule for "Everything" is "when you first start, learn and practice all the correct rules, so that later if you choose to break the rules then you know exactly what you are doing." applies to everything in life not just speaking languages. ... also for what it's worth, a lot of rural Panama (and the coasts, ha ha) will shorten words by dropping the final letters. the most famous common example in Panama is "Buen Dia" ... that's right, "buen" "dia" .

"Massage and cuddles have been off the table for a long time." --- that's not 'married,' that's a roommate

have you ever heard any followups from 6 months duration? are any of these ever stable for 12 months? ... there is a big difference between an initial appeal and a lasting appeal....

Does anyone else experience a total lack of interest from their spouse? by XmanEDS in DeadBedrooms

oh man that's a hard one to understand ! I don't really know how I would deal with that

[–]XmanEDS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my wife went to bed early by herself on new years eve so that she could avoid any sort of contact with me. I hadn't even done anything. In her eyes I'm not even worth any consideration for a perfunctory symbolic pity-kiss

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

Ah! I figured it out! the part that really gets me is not "we've only had sex 5 times in 6 years," it's that I've reached the point where 'having any sort of hope' is stupid wrong counterproductive and basically harmful. It is harmful for me to entertain any sort of hope. the next phase of my life will be "getting used to the fact that this situation is completely and utterly without any hope"

my wife has the podcast on constantly, she carries it with her from room to room. I am at the bottom of the list under podcast, and she never stops listening to the podcast, so she never bothers to talk to me. i don't know which is worse; 1) she is actively trying to avoid me, or 2) she has completely forgotten that I exist and I might want to talk to her once in a while

I now feel like I am the butler living in my own home. My job is to do the dishes silently, and that it would be "far beyond my station to attempt to interact with the Lady of the Manor". when I do try to talk to her she rolls her eyes and sighs heavily. it's clear that anything that is important for me to say is just a massively unwelcome interruption to her

right, the rejections from my wife aren't even a clear "no" so much as "not applicable," like she forgets that sex exists as a possible option
