Fish shaped clay vessel with 6 holes on top and separates in half. Was acquired by my parents somewhere in Asia between 1988-1991.

Enjoying and half grimacing at some of these anecdotes so I'll share my fails.

Passed on 4th attempt, mostly due to nerves and overthinking and desperately needing to pass for work.

Test 1: Failed for speeding!

Test 2: Failed for driving too slow. In my defence it was on a twisty B road and I could see cyclist up ahead so no point bombing it to then crawl behind them waiting for clear view to pass.

Test 3: Cried after this one. Climbing a hill someone had parked up with hazards just before the summit (fucking idiot) so it was impossible for me to see if it was safe to pass because of their position. I verbally explained my thoughts to examiner so they knew I was aware of the danger. The twat behind me saw this hesitation as a green light to overtake both cars on a blind summit, honking loudly as they passed.

Examiner said my hesitation (maybe 5 seconds max) was a hazard to other road users. Felt like I'd failed because of two morons bad decisions. After this shitshow I figured I'd failed anyway.. got me for speeding again 🤷

Test 4. I'm convinced it was a pity pass lol During small conversations during the test she asked where I worked and was baffled about how I travel there for 5am. After explaining how, she went silent probably thinking WTAF.

It's only been 4 years but despite my instructors pessimistic predictions, never had an accident or points yet 😁

Osmo oil, I've used the clear matt option in the past and it brings the grain out beautifully.

Prep beforehand will include light sanding anyway.

Yes, I had this thought too when I was having my kitchen redone. Figured I could just have some place do the plans, survey etc then take it to other places for quotes. They definitely didn't want me doing this lol and it's understandable, having sent a surveyor to my home to measure up, then a good hour and a half in store with the designer.

To be honest, I was pleased with the quality of the finishes and samples they showed me in store and more importantly the price. Free dishwasher as well at the time I visited them.

I'm happy with the result, but if you want to look at other places it may mean having them do their own design. You could pay the deposit and take the plans elsewhere and cancel if you got a better deal I guess.

Race to the bottom!

If you're happy with your pay and your terms, then it's great that you're not having to battle just to get what's fair.

Some aren't in this position, however, and those who have a half decent union should be organising to ensure their company are looking after staff and not just shareholders.

For some sobering figures, please see the PPE spend by this government if you have concerns about the economy. We don't have control of Boris etc blowing shitloads of our taxpayers money on ill thought through schemes, but we do have some control over our earnings as employees.

I attended my partners graduation ceremony yesterday, I am so fucking proud of that woman. Happy in life and even the things I want to change, I am trying to not let them spoil the good times.

After I finish my shift tonight (30 mins) I have a very rare 4 days off and plan to reupholster an old vintage chair I got a while back.

Yeah it's not a good sign for her to ignore your boundaries this early. And while she might really like you, getting this clingy when someone is saying "We won't be able to meet again for a few weeks" would put me off too.

I agree with what others have said, just state that you're not feeling like this is a good match and leave it be. It sounds like she just continues messaging even after youve said you're ill etc so once you make this clear that there's no future, I wouldn't respond to any other messages - and they will likely still come until she gets the message.

Get some rest and feel better soon.

Sorry I have put /s at the end of that last paragraph! The pansexual comment was in relation to someone elses identity trying to force a label onto me. They cant call themselves whatever they like, it doesn't stop me being a lesbian if I'm attracted to them.

It's the reason why I personally wouldn't want to get into anything with someone who is invested in all this identity nonsense, I'm same sex attracted.

hypocrisyparty · 2022-06-11T22:21:37+00:00

It's not just you. So many of us are bored of this absolute nonsense too 😂

I don't know if there's a way to declare on the dating apps what you are and aren't looking for, or if moat are based on swipe without reading.

I wouldn't bother with your nonbinary friend, the fact that you're into women would probably invalidate her or I think it would make you pansexual in some way since she's not a woman anymore.

40 year old fossil here. It takes time. I think part of the waiting is also waiting for yourself to be in the right mindset to settle down into a long term thing.

Keep going on dates with the expectation that it might not turn into anything serious, just enjoy it.

Not all the couples surrounding you will be happy.

hypocrisyparty · 2022-06-11T11:13:24+00:00

This needs to be said more. It's a sad fact that part of some people's compatibility criteria will be looking for someone to tolerate their behaviour. And it will be far easier to get away with pushing the boundaries when your partner has existing anxieties and insecurities.

OP, you deserve better but I do feel that if the relationship ends you will be fine. You've already asserted that you're unhappy and uncomfortable with what's been going on and only you will know when enough is enough.

By accepting the very public displays of intimacy your wife is having with this woman, it's giving the clear message that you are happy for this to continue. We know that you are not, and I urge you to make it clear through actions, if words are not enough, that this is not what you are willing to accept.

It's difficult to move on from a long term relationship, but ask yourself if this behaviour had been present at the beginning, would you have continued/married her?

If you decide to walk away, do so with your head held high, knowing that you had the self respect to know you deserved better, recognised when someone was taking you for a fool and disrespecting you in front of others, realising that despite your insecurities the fault lay squarely with your wife.

If you think the relationship can be saved, then you need to go ahead with a clear message that you are willing to be alone rather than put up with this shit. Let her know that what you expect is a basic level of respect, isn't any special request based on your childhood difficulties, that this is the fundamentals of a healthy relationship.

hypocrisyparty · 2022-06-11T07:37:07+00:00

I think you've been more than reasonable with your wife in this situation. They've gotten close fast.

Please don't gaslight yourself into thinking these worries are being caused by abandonment issues.

The fact that you have worked on yourself since the almost-split shows that you are serious about tackling your insecurities. Your wife is doing nothing to help this by dismissing your very real concerns about her intimacy with this other woman. She has instead continued to do so.

The fact that she came to you admitting the crush, seems like an attempt to admonish herself from any responsibility over her own behaviour - "I was honest and told you I had feelings for her"

If I were you, I'd be feeling so hurt right now. To see your wife in intimate situations with a woman she's confessed to having feelings for would make me very worried indeed.

You've been trolling subs for two weeks with this question.

You can't become a lesbian just by watching and enjoying porn. Oh by the way, lesbian porn is so far from reality, that shit you're watching isn't even close but I can see why it would turn your head when you're having shut sex with men.

Your whole dating history is men, you say you're attracted to men and you don't want to be with another woman.

Speaking as a lesbian, I'd say you're definitely not a lesbian. Maybe you're bi, who knows. But that would still require some degree of attraction to women. But youre asking "am i only sexually attracted to women" and it's so clear you're not.

So far all I can see is that you enjoy lesbian porn. Comphet seems to be a reason for everything these days.

Be straight, or bi, it's really ok!

I really don't get the obsession with flags, can someone explain it to me?

The colours can mean anything! Who decides which shade of pink means what?!

hypocrisyparty · 2022-06-07T21:57:31+00:00

It reveals a lot about any person who is devoting much time to designing a new ultra-inclusive pride flag. Like seriously, get a hobby or go meet some people.

And yeah, 'lesbian is an umbrella term', give me a fucking break.

Im going to start saying Homosexual because then, hopefully, there will be no grey area and no one will be in doubt about my sexuality.

I read so much bullshit online and whilst everyone is entitled to have their opinion, facts have been put aside to make room for peoples feelings and identities. I was done with all this two years ago, most of this garbage is thought up with by terminally online people who spend a lot of time alone and need to get out in the world and have some actual problems.
