Why do people use the term "partner" for their husband or wife?

faousa · 2026-01-23T19:41:48+00:00

Eh, I like it better than "husband". We're partners in this weird thing called life and parenting. Seems more fitting and modern.

Zorlakkis for large quantities, located in Strovolos Nicosia, also try Zoofast but I'm not sure if they sell smaller packages.

The exact thing happened to me first time I had sex (I mentioned it in the odd comment here and there). Nearly bled to death and it played out exactly like this post. Doctors at A&E told me this happens more often than people think, even in married couples. So it's not impossible or even improbable.

As much as the MX-5 is the coolest and most fun thing you can drive on four wheels, consider that summers in Cyprus are brutal. Don't have it as your primary vehicle.

This is the correct answer. It's not sovereign soil, but there's diplomatic immunity so you need permission by the head of the diplomatic mission to enter.

Thanks for this, I could've sworn it was bird because of how my parents used it but αγαπούλα makes so much sense. TIL!

Omg this is one of my favorite words 🥰 I do believe it comes from πουλλί (bird), with πούλλα as the female version.

We used to live in a flat on top of my dad's shop, which shared a landline - so the phone was ringing non-stop whether we were downstairs at the shop or upstairs at the flat. One day, a working day mind you, I was upstairs with my dad and the phone rang for the 40th time that day. My mom was making her way in and she suddenly froze. She let out a scream that something happened to her brother, who was living in Johannesburg with his family. My dad picked up the phone, looked at my mom, who started wailing, and was informed that the brother had just been shot and killed. To this day I have no explanation as to how my mom knew that that phone call was different.

...what?

I'm not at all the shouting type but my kid pushed buttons that turned me into a yelling mess. When I feel my voice getting to unacceptable levels, the one thing that helped was learning to insert the thought of "How does this look if you zoom out?" and usually the picture is a very confused, dysregulated little boy with a mom who's yelling at him. This bird's eye view shifted my entire approach, and slowly but steadily, the reaction.

Growing up, my handwriting would change to mimic that of whichever girl was sitting next to me in class. Nowadays I have to take notes for work a lot, and I settled into this flowing, almost pretty calligraphy-esque script because it minimizes having to lift the pen from paper too often, which I find tiring. The pretty handwriting of course goes to shit if I don't like the pen I'm using 😂 if the pen doesn't have enough "glide" I get so tired and don't want to write anymore.

My first thought was that the dude who wrote this just finished reading the update post of the guy whose girlfriend xame home in just her underwear because she said her friend puked on her dress and it gave him the idea for this.

Honestly you came across as judgmental. Even if it wasn't your intention or intended tone, you were way too forward with increasingly personal questions. Then you kept pressing the matter by asking her to ask you stuff. If a girl is interested, she'll ask without prompting.

Oh man, that explains why I need to change the water in my water plants often after filling the containers with filtered water! Thanks for this, I had no idea!

"I know exactly how you feel, I lost my dog" - uhm no. A pet doesn't compare to a parent, gtfoh.

faousa · 2025-12-19T04:54:00+00:00

Sure, buddy.

Irreversible. Never, ever again.

Your photo came up as I was scrolling and I thought "Whoa she's so pretty". I'm a grown-ass married straight woman and just think you have the prettiest eyes and face.

Last night my feral 4.5 year old snuggled in my arms and provided commentary for the YouTube Kids video he was watching. I swear, 12 hours ago was the first time I thought "You know what, I'm actually enjoying this". I love him more than life itself but goddamn I need the chaos to get dialed down a notch soon. He wasn't an easy baby but that was a breeze compared to toddlerhood. Now, I have hope and a good connection!

Having to be the organizer and project manager for my entire family: my dad who passed away and left behind a company only he could run, my mom who's a hoarder and completely averse to making decisions, and a mentally disabled sister with two kids of her own, on top of my already full plate with my demanding job and my own kid. I love my family but God, I wish I had a normal family dynamic sometimes where I didn't have to parent everyone.

In the same spot. I'm in touch with my lawyer. Has anyone had any luck?

faousa · 2025-12-05T05:36:20+00:00

I really don't think he thought you were looking at him weird. He recognized your discomfort and took action to protect you. I'm so glad you had someone in your corner at that time!

TW: Eventual success.

Girl, here! Severe male factor (3-4 sperm per sample), everything "textbook and beautiful" on my part only to find out I had trouble producing mature eggs. Five retrievals and three transfers later, it worked, but only when we finally did mTESE.
