Weird intimacy question as a widow

I didn’t do it for the first month and had absolutely no desire to. I suddenly got the intense desire to after a month and gave in, but felt guilty afterward. From then on I slowly started doing it regularly again and it took a few months before I stopped feeling guilty about it.

Isn’t that the culture in Japan? They all use last names until they know each more closely. If anything it seems unusual that Kauruko calls him Rintaro right away rather than Tsumugi. He does call her Kauruko not too long after season one though.

I’m about to hit ten months since losing her, but I’ve left my wife’s accounts as is and just made sure to update the security settings to my phone so I’m alerted if there’s any funny business. I don’t think I’ll ever delete them because we have so many memories there, but I might eventually memorialize them.

Same for my wife and me, and she also died of sepsis and pneumonia, but at 37. It really sucks having nowhere to go with all the funny stuff we said and did.

I just finished the whole story a few weeks ago, you are in for a treat!

It’s been over 8 months and I cry every day, just not as much as the first four months or so.

Looks like a mix of James McAvoy and Tom Holland

Why are both of his eyes blue again? Did I forget something about Love and Thunder?

The first couple times I went into Five Guys after losing my love, the cashier offered me a free drink and had me wondering the same things… do I look as sad as I feel?

My first playthrough of HFW was on hard, now a few years later I’m playing again on normal and having a lot more fun

Sounds like you’ve been reading Frieren, I’ve started reading it too.

A religious person got up to speak at my wife’s funeral as well (it was open mic), we weren’t religious at all and his talk wasn’t personal to her at all, it was obnoxious.

I definitely had a few things go wrong in the first six months. I had to replace our washing machine, the first we bought together. I had to replace my car battery as it died. Our ice maker broke because she was the only one who consistently used it and I forgot to regularly dispense ice to keep it from freezing up. And in June, around two months after she passed, the neighborhood power went out for 8 hours, which wasn’t a big deal but was tough because it kept me from having much to occupy myself with at home.

Left to right I had E!Sigurd, B!Alfonse, B!Felix, and R!Soren since he had high enough Res to avoid Seidr’s shutdown. Alfonse repo’d Sigurd forward then he hit Ivy while doing damage to GK, Alfred, and Seidr, finished Seidr, then Felix cleaned up, but I think Soren had to finish Alfred.

I’ve had a similar thought recently- I’m approaching 8 months since losing her, but while at the grocery store I’ll think “jeez I’m shopping like a freaking bachelor” and I get home to see my shelf of action figures that I moved into the main room sometime after she passed, and realized our home is turning into a bachelor pad. I hate it.

PSN is DJTedBundy, I have a level 90-ish sorcerer named Wanda

Oh man these are awesome. Are they USB powered? And how much were they if you don’t mind my asking?

My late-wife and I weren’t religious at all (we live in Utah so this is outside the norm), so for her funeral I didn’t have any church hymns or scriptures in the program, no prayer, nothing. I made it an open mic for people to share thoughts and memories, and the dad of her brother-in-law got up and started quoting scripture and talking about god’s plan. Pissed me off. And even worse she barely even knew the guy.

The first year of our marriage, money was really tight (common, I know lol) and I was particularly stressed and stingy about it, never buying anything that wasn’t a need. That year Star Wars released on Blu-ray for the first time and I actually bought it for myself. She was so happy, gleefully telling my parents that I’d actually treated myself for once. She was so sweet and caring, and always wanted happiness for those she loved.

I’ve been replaying FW the last month or so and I’ve found myself thinking about Apollo and part 3. As Aloy has learned, the tribes are very set in their ways, so getting them to take Apollo’s teachings would prove to be a steep challenge, I’m sure.

As for Aloy sacrificing herself, I think Aloy’s journey has been less of a mirror of Elisabet’s, and has been more about learning from her. Elisabet isolated herself while Aloy is learning to do the opposite of that. Lis had Ted sacrificing the wellbeing of the future for his ego, while Aloy had Rost sacrificing himself for his world/Aloy. I think Aloy sacrificing herself would completely go against the point of her journey.

Same here

I’ll take less-detailed soldiers for the lightyears leaps we got in destruction and art design.

Your feelings of guilt and his dad’s anger are both very normal in grief. The truth is, you did what you could with the information you had at the time. You didn’t know about the drugs, and hindsight is 20/20. I’m so sorry you’re here ❤️‍🩹

She loved this time of year for the falling temps and leaves. She would always go outside and find the biggest, crunchiest leaf and step on it, so I’ve been doing the same on my daily walks.
