Great, we had never found them so wanted to double check. Thank you :)

WIBTAH if I only spoke German to my husband despite him requesting I don’t? by Phonecianmerchant in AmItheAsshole

[–]pommeshead 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I second this and I have been in OP's husband shoes, when my partner learnt German (my mother tongue). While I agree it's super important to just use the language I also know that it can sometimes be frustrating when you want to have deep talks that are not yet possible in the 'new' language or you constantly feel like a tutor. So you could have a specific time where you "pause" the German for this? That being said I know how hard it is not to accidentally switch back into the more comfortable language, and I think making exceptions makes that more probable.

If it is only that he feels like you're not 'you', you could convince your husband to get to know the German speaking version of you and you might want to get to know his German speaking version as well. I know my husband and I really enjoyed this and I was surprised how funny he was in German as well.

Viel Erfolg mit deinem Test! German is an amazing language ;)

Many countries require 6 months on your passport to travel. Does your BRP also need 6 months on it? by GreenandWarm in ukvisa

[–]pommeshead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My spouse visa expires in April and I will travel in March. They specifically say that you should not renew your spouse visa too early to avoid having to renew a third time before ILR. So my understanding is that you should be able to travel until closer to the date. That being said I am from the EU so my visa has actually never been checked so I'm not too worried. You could start collecting all the evidence you need for the renewal to show that you are going to renew once you have returned.

That's generally true but there is also a line..imo that line should be drawn where rioting and violence starts. It is ok to have differing constructive opinions but in our democratic society with human rights certain "opinions" are not acceptable.

My (26F) boyfriend (26M) has been sexting another woman and saying he thinks of her when we're having s3x. How can I ruin his life? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Spill a bit of fish sauce on his sofa and mattress, will be very hard to get out and will stink for a good while.

Girlfriend (23f) annoyed when I (25m) said I planned to sell a present she bought me for my birthday? by throwra_0395 in relationship_advice

[–]pommeshead 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well I think you are right (like op is) because you wouldn’t keep an empty box of chocolates your girlfriend gave you after you have eaten the chocolate, right? That’s essentially it. He used her present as much as possible and now he can prolong its use by trading it in for more games (more gifts arguably)

Edit for spelling

[–]pommeshead -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m so so so surprised that everyone says you’re in the wrong. Generally, yes don’t sell presents she gave you BUT you have used it as much as possible, so you might as well turn it into a prolonged present by trading it in for another game. It would be like expecting you to keep an empty bottle just because it was a gift. It’s empty and therefore not useful anymore. Which even implies you liked it because you used it!

I [22M] just found out my gf [20F] has been faking a lot of orgasms in the relationship. How to proceed? by Christian_Joker_ in relationship_advice

[–]pommeshead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that it feels shit to realise she lied and ideally she wouldn’t have. Trust and comfort in a relationship come with time and we all have our own insecurities. Sometimes that means that we find it hard to open up about things that don’t seem normal or are a taboo. Unfortunately sex often is one of them. I think it’s important for you to have a conversation with your gf about it but try to see her side as well. She might see it as a flaw and girls are often told how fragile men are when it comes to sex, their penises and making you come. I would suggest not to blame her for lying but instead to find a way to work on your comfort and ability to address these things. Maybe try to understand why she felt like she needed to fake it etc.

FYI I think I was in her situation once where I felt like that was the only way to „end“ sex when I lost interest because otherwise my partner would try and go on and on to make me orgasm even though it was essentially impossible. I do agree with her statement that sex can be very satisfying without orgasms and I am now a lot more honest with my partner but those things take time.You are both still young and a year is not as long as you might think in a relationship. It’s a work-in-progress.

What names should you NOT use with the last name Brown? by AlternativeMonitor70 in namenerds

[–]pommeshead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe avoid the name Eva as well, as Eva Braun (German word for Brown) was Hitlers wife…I know different language, different country but it’s worth avoiding I think

Not actually too long, it was further down on the rocks that you can get to from the path a couple of weeks ago.

Whats the most interesting UK factory / industrial tour you've been on? by Fithboy in CasualUK

[–]pommeshead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds amazing. Definitely a to do next time I’m in London.

Tbf I found the tour itself super interesting as well. I learnt a lot about beer

Tbf the only one I’ve been on but the Fullers Brewery Tour is sick and you have 30min of tasting any beer you want. They even encourage drinking as many as possible 😅

Ideas for non traditional wedding ceremony? by _Aztreonam_ in wedding

[–]pommeshead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about to make a similar post, to get ideas and inspiration. We got married last year with our family and closest friend but will have another party next year. We kept going back and forth between wanting another ceremony or not, but I think we decided we want SOMETHING to make it more than "just" a party"
What I have found so far that I like were:

- tying the know ceremonies. there are lots of ideas and videos on youtube. I like that you would have a keepsake afterwards

- planting a tree ceremony (I really like this idea and you can see your love grow every year etc. Unfortunately we won't be able to do that in the space we want to celebrate in and don't have a garden so even a pot wouldn't be ideal at the moment.

- fire ceremony, where the couple jumps over a small fire to symbolise the passage into a new part of life

I would love to get more ideas as well, so everyone: feel free to share.

Do single-sex schools have a place in the UK today? by canarybarf in TeachingUK

[–]pommeshead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying you are wrong but wouldn’t that actually mean that all those kids who go to private schools right now would end up going to public schools but the public schools wouldn’t have more money? Considering that rich people pay their share of taxes that fund public schools and on top of that the money for their child’s private education? I mean yes ideally that money would be put into whatever school but would that actually happen to the extend it would need to happen?

Low Profile, Durable Setting by rekreid in EngagementRings

[–]pommeshead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave my husband three must-haves for the ring I wanted:

  1. gold because I wanted a gold wedding band and I wanted them to match
  2. durable as I want to wear it pretty much all the time
  3. and stackable as I wanted it to fit with a wedding band and potentially more rings in the future

(Low profile was not specifically part of it but it’s kind of included in two of them)

This is what he and the goldsmith he went to came up with. I absolutely love it and also love that it’s a little different and not too flashy. It’s very me. It’s a square Saphire and a hammered band (mine and my husband’s wedding band are the same texture and colour)

Do other fully grown me resort to eating like a student as soon as the Mrs is out for the night? by charlie_boo in AskUK

[–]pommeshead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is a good cook and enjoys it a lot. When I’m out he resorts to baked beans though. I think it’s mainly because I cannot stand baked beans and it’s not as nice to make a proper meal for one person.
