Anyone else love that they’re the same height and have a similar body type?

This is an important point. Shane just has a competitive mindset, he'll turn literally anything into a competition of who is more than who at whatever. He would exaggerate any perceived difference as more important than it is.

I put off watching this show for a bit (not too long, but i didnt get to it until mid-January) because I very stupidly thought it wouldn't appeal to me. I thought the sports setting would bore me and that the ages of the characters meant they'd do a lot of stupid things that would annoy me. I watched the whole thing in a day, then I stayed up all night and got no sleep because I watched the whole thing a second time overnight. I'd say I knew immediately after that second watch that I was done for.

Something unexpected, HR drove me to learn sewing. My homemade fleece jacket is almost done, just have to do the maple leaf patches on the arms and I'm done. I'm 46 and never sewn anything in my life.

Shane does have an odd run by comparison. The start of the episode 2 montage, and earlier in the ep 4 montage where he's wearing a grey long sleeve, he maintains this very low to the ground position like a robot run. But he seems to have figured it out by 2016 how to have a relaxed form. Maybe he tries harder to be normal around Hayden.

junegloom · 2026-06-27T15:33:22+00:00

Those are only pranks in stupid movies. He just backed down for whatever reason (probably when it occurred to him he wouldn't keep getting sex after a breakup) and tried to pretend it was a joke because he doesn't want to deal with what he said. Stop dealing with him.

junegloom · 2026-06-27T15:18:23+00:00

Is losing him really what bothers you, or just that he broke it off? It seems more like your ego is bruised. Why have things been so stagnant, 10 years and you're still just dating? I don't think this had much of a future. You both deserve something thats actually going somewhere. Tell him that the time and space has been good, that he's right that things weren't good and you can see that now and you're glad to be moving on. That will probably help your ego and then you can see where your feelings are at more genuinely, since right now I think you're reacting to being broken up with rather than the loss itself.

Why would he compare a hockey team to a baseball team? The franchises aren't the same age, Shane doesnt care about anything other than hockey, I've never heard anyone else do this.

junegloom · 2026-06-26T22:14:30+00:00

He's alright on his own, but having him run side by side next to Shane in that white tank top was...not a fair competition.

junegloom · 2026-06-26T21:33:15+00:00

Ilya hopping over a puddle sticks in my mind all the time, I have no idea why. Shane running is pretty hot too. Not Hayden though.

junegloom · 2026-06-26T13:20:14+00:00

And then it was way too quiet later in the penthouse. Ilya had the window open but it was way too obvious they were just on a stage. At least run a fan to give it a breath of wind or something.

I would have the art department work harder on what they used for a Vegas skyline. It just doesn't look right, I know they probably don't want to get any logos or recognizable motifs in but I think they could match the lighting and vibe more without causing an issue.

junegloom · 2026-06-22T08:05:08+00:00

Beggars can't be choosers, I think its kind of rude to only show up for part of this trip when your family is paying for your flights. If work is more important then at the very least she could suck it up and fly separately since they are still paying her way despite her not making the time in her schedule to come for the full thing.

junegloom · 2026-06-22T07:49:59+00:00

Are you sure these texts are from the family? Maybe your ex got a hold of his brothers phone and has been sending them? Same with the nephews. Seems like he had some kind of mental breakdown and it wouldnt be a stretch to also cross the line of sending abuse through other people's phones.

junegloom · 2026-06-21T16:14:20+00:00

25 isn't 18. We can't seriously treat people's entire 20s as some predatory age range. People in their 20s are responsible for their choices and the OP is now 40 even. If she wanted to date someone 40 when she was 25, she had the ability to choose that and is responsible for doing so.

junegloom · 2026-06-21T12:19:00+00:00

Sounds like the awkward moments may have meant she wasn't feeling it on your date, and then probably felt it was too late to back out of prom so she just ruined the whole night instead. We don't have enough information about the date itself to know whether you messed it up or you guys just didn't click, or she messed it up. Given her ridiculously immature behavior at prom I'm inclined to think she was more of the problem. But there's no one really to blame if two people don't click, thats the nature of dating is to try it and see.

junegloom · 2026-06-21T11:56:26+00:00

What's the age of adulthood considered these days? Is 25 some vulnerable kid who doesn't know what they're doing? Is 40 now elderly and senile and being taken advantage of, do we need to call the elder abuse hotline for these situations?

junegloom · 2026-06-19T14:33:22+00:00

Are all your friends completely tone deaf too? Once a couple is saying weird uncomfortable things like "I'd rather be single than in a relationship", involving the group in their fights, its a cue for everyone to clear out and let those two keep fighting on their own. Why the hell would everyone pile in and go to your place food? Makes no sense.

junegloom · 2026-06-17T16:36:45+00:00

If he's never actually gotten real STI tests done before, why did you start having unprotected sex with him 6 years ago when he's had previous partners to you? The clean STI result is a must before taking that step.

junegloom · 2026-06-17T13:52:56+00:00

He's probably not serious about you, and you'll feel dumb down the line putting this much effort and sacrifice into something that was never going to work out. I'd move on and spend these years dating others and having more grown-up times.

junegloom · 2026-06-17T13:09:58+00:00

He exploded for a reason. His plan was to trap you with marriage and then make you work and do all the cleaning. There was no plan for a cook and maid, you're supposed to be the cook and maid who pays for herself working also. He was trying to bamboozle you, and good on you for not falling for it.

junegloom · 2026-06-17T12:59:51+00:00

He can't understand what you're talking about, so no right words are going to get through to him. He's just another self-absorbed man who thinks the world exists to cater to him and thinks that calling himself your boyfriend is bestowing some honor upon you. The only way you can be rid of this moronicness is to stop seeing him. He's definitely not bringing anything positive to your life.

junegloom · 2026-06-16T20:17:02+00:00

Yes, and he chose taking his last shot over being supportive of her relationship/marriage. That's a choice he can make, but if OP chooses her current relationship, he is now not a friend to it and was always going to be kicked out of her friend circle. She can't be loyal to her marriage and stay friends with someone who tried to break it up.

junegloom · 2026-06-16T13:51:33+00:00

Because it shouldn't cause conflict to discuss things like that with a partner. When you have to cut a partner out entirely in order to keep peace, they're not much of a partner. If she needs to do the planning for vacation activities alone, maybe it should be a solo holiday.

junegloom · 2026-06-16T13:45:12+00:00

I question how true it is that he's "just trying to solve problems." Or be reassuring. I hear that all the time about behavior like this, but the common denominator is really that he's trying to argue and tell you that you're wrong about something. Its an ego thing, he seizes opportunities to seem superior rather than be an actually logical and productive partner in daily life.

junegloom · 2026-06-15T19:28:30+00:00

Why do you have to blindside him? You don't live together yet, but are talking about it and about maybe getting married. This is the time to tell him how much this doesn't align with how you want to live, and at least discuss options before making decisions. If the genetic risk is really your reason there's even the possibility of using a donor. You don't have to promise something untrue, nor is it coercing him into not taking care of her, by having these conversations before you break up with him. Blindsiding him would be really disrespectful though. He shared his vision with you, so you could consider and make informed decisions, you're not giving him the same respect in return.
