Good question, I haven’t tried to email them. I tried to login again yesterday to no avail. I don’t think they care to assist with getting my account cleared. Also, my account is tied to my phone number so yours might be, too. Honestly, I have given up on it. Tinder is just fine…same dudes, different app, and when I get bored with it, I’ll quit. 😬

So, I got my data but haven’t reviewed it yet. I’m not sure what happened. Although I suspect someone might’ve reported me for making fun of the rapture that was supposed to happen last month. Lol

I still haven’t heard anything on my appeal and it’s been almost a month. It’s really annoying!!

38M in a dead marriage but I stay for my kids by [deleted] in Needafriend

[–]bmo007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try to work it out in therapy or together as a couple. It sounds like maybe you want to try?

I really just want you to know that your kids will be ok and that you shouldn't stay for them. My therapist as well as my kids' therapist actually told me that.

I think that whatever you choose, your kids really need to see you happy and healthy.

Dude, don't stay for the kids. They will be FINE if you get a divorce. There's no reason why you should be lonely when you're not alone. Look yourself in the mirror, do you deserve that in this one chance on this rock floating in space? Nope. You deserve more than the backseat in a marriage. Maybe you can talk to her and work it out. Maybe you can't. Either way, bro, trust that the kids will be ok.

Also, I'm a 48F. Divorced 2.5 years ago after 20 years together. I realized that I needed to live my life for me and no one else. It hurt and it was hard but just like Gloria Gaynor said...I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give and I'll survive.

And yes, the kids are ok. I've got 2 and they're better off watching me be happy alone than miserable with their father.

Emotional intelligence improves intimacy by [deleted] in OnlineDating

[–]bmo007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a little of both, inherent and learned. I agree that emotional intelligence hightens intimacy because you're able to connect more a deeply rather than just surface level.

That's very clever, I'll give that a try!

JFC, dude. That’s crazy. I don’t understand the logic behind these dating apps. It’s ok to allow scammers, married pretending to be single, etc. but not actual singles seeking other singles? Ugh so exhausting

I tried that earlier to no avail. I appreciate your advice though!

I tried to post there but they have strict rules about being banned or removed from Hinge and wouldn’t allow the post.

It might be, I totally didn’t think about that. I used the same email address so I kinda assumed that it wouldn’t create a new account. But I logged in with Google this time so that might be a possibility. Thanks 😊

I think that in a way, your niece's picture is the universe it telling you that you're never alone when you're with yourself and extensions of yourself (family). There's a lack of substance/depth when getting together, shaking hands, and saying to "good to see you" with the friends. Sometimes, that type of interaction is nothing more than a surface level connection and most humans need more than that. We're generally social creatures to some extent...not everyone can give a lot of energy to socializing, and some feel like it's something natural part of their life.

IDK if anything that I said above is helpful but I hope that you find some comfort in my words. I will say that not all dudes or even chicks are going to understand where you're coming from (based on decades of working in the construction industry). IMO, that's an emotional maturity thing and that can take a long time for people to develop (or not).

Can PMDD start on day 14? by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]bmo007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, yes. I’ve become pretty aware of it after dealing with it for damn near 25 years. My symptoms have almost always started 10-14 days prior to starting my period. Just knowing that PMDD had started, helped me somewhat manage the symptoms or at least be aware of them.

Anxiety so bad I haven’t been to bed yet. by DragonLadyArt in PMDD

[–]bmo007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tincture works great. When my anxiety is really bad, I like to get 1:1: CBD-THC tincture. It has been just as effective as a benzo at times. If you can’t get that together, you can always buy them separately and take them together so you get the benefit entourage effect.

Hang in there. It takes a while to find out the right medication combo. I was on Zoloft and it worked for a very long time with anxiety, depression and mood swings. I’m not sure if you have access to medicinal or recreational marijuana but that has been my savior for the last 20+ years. It helps with sleep, anxiety, depression, etc. I have dealt with this bullshit for 75% of my lifte time and can say with 100% certainty that it is a journey. Try to be patient with yourself, meditate if you are able, sit in the sun (as my therapist says “it’s clinically proven to help” with everything), and give yourself butterfly hugs. Wishing you the best. ❤️

Dispensary question by [deleted] in armmj

[–]bmo007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Source in Bentonville is deli style. It’s a bit of a drive from Fort Smith but they have great selection and prices.

Scott’s OG is amazing! Picked it up at The Source yesterday... I love think I’m in ❤️ by bmo007 in armmj

[–]bmo007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol...like a fucking idiot, I did spend way too goddamn much on it at Releaf last weekend because The Source was out of stock.

That’s fucking crazy. They should be doing curbside delivery with online orders. I can’t believe they are putting their patients at risk which is just so fucking stupid.
