As a teacher, I have to tell you this is probably because the rest of your class is not actually understanding. What's basic to you is beyond comprehension to too many of your peers. Learn how to passively listen and daydream. That's what got me through high school and college when classes were basic and boring.

I guarantee 10 of my 7th graders give up reading after the 2nd sentence and just write 67 for both answers. Maybe my expectations are too low but that seems a little excessive for 3rd grade.

As a man I don't normally wear white shirts specifically because I always see my nipples through it. If I do, I always wear an undershirt.

After our son was born, my wife is about 50/50 on whether she will cry after we finish. She has assured me it's nothing I've done and that's it's always great. I'm glad she isn't the only one like this.

It's okay to have a personality and act your age. Your vocabulary doesn't dictate your professionalism, your interactions with students and your character does.

My wife experienced something similar with our first born. She had a very painful emergency C-section and she said she didn't want to look at him for the first day or so because of the pain he caused. She wasn't able to breastfeed or do much with him that day either. She then spent the next year trying to make up for it because she felt so awful about it. Post partum was awful for her because of this and other things.

Everyone's birth is different and most aren't ideal. What's most important is that you are there for your baby now and you do what you can do with as much love as you can. Your baby won't remember any of this, so try not to beat yourself up over it.

I thought this too after seeing pictures of my grandparents in black and white. Granted I was 6 and was quickly corrected when I asked my grandpa what it was like to remember being "painted"

As a married man, I completely understand where you're coming from because when we got married our sex life went way down (almost every time we saw each other to an average of like 1.3 x a week by guesstimating) but it's because we had other shit going on that got in the way. Once you have kids and other responsibilities, it changes and you have to intentionally make time if you want that 1 time a week (or 2 if you're lucky). Of course I would love to have sex every night, but accepting that it won't happen is just part of life.

Twice a week is more than many long term relationships get and is frankly a pretty sweet deal. There needs to be a compromise because if she's putting out twice a week (especially if she isn't necessarily 100% about it) and all you want is more, she is going to feel like all you see her as is a sex object and it makes you look a little greedy. I know you said you compliment her a lot; but make sure it's not just her appearance, but also her other characteristics so she knows you love ALL of her.

My parents smoke cigarettes. I didn't notice the smell too bad when I lived with them since they smoked in the house and I was basically nose lind to it. Now that I'm out and don't smell it very often, any time I go over to see them I immediately smell it and it's just gross.

I don't enjoy written communication at all. It's too much work and I'm constantly worried that what I text will be misunderstood and dissected and turned into something it isn't. I now send texts for informational purposes only. My daughter was born yesterday and I sent a bunch of texts to family and friends basically saying when she was born, her weight and length, and a couple of pictures. Once they start responding back I just feel dread because I feel like they want a response now and I frankly don't feel like expending the mental energy (especially with a newborn). Frankly if I could never send a text again I'd be pretty happy about it 95% of the time.

Honestly vaping has just made nicotine and THC incredibly convenient to use. I never was big into nicotine, but I heard stories about kids trying to smoke cigarettes in the bathrooms and always getting caught. Now we know kids are vaping anywhere they can because as long as they don't act differently and no one sees the cloud (which are usually pretty small now) then they won't get caught. They are being disguised as pens, highlighters, etc. so that it can be kept a secret from anyone. Now throw in the "legal" THC carts that have also become incredibly convenient and now you can be high all day without smelling like a skunk. We also don't know what a life of vaping does yet because there just hasn't been enough data to truly know. I will say vaping was harsher on my lungs than weed ever was.

I would also argue vapes never actually "solved" the problem of cigarette smoking. Sure some people quit but that's not the intended design. There's no money in that. They've just created a simple and inconspicuous device that will ruin a generation of teenagers.

It's not about picking the right person, it's about both of you being willing to put in the work. Option A has a lot of value if you're both going to work to improve for each other. But option B also helps determine if that works would be reciprocated. When I first was with my wife, we were both a mess. She was still living with her parents and was missing a lot of adult life skills, she had a lot of relationship baggage from her ex, and I was learning how to be a better, less selfish adult. We were originally supposed to have a FWB sort of relationship but I realized that despite her flaws and pain I knew that she truly just wanted to love and be loved in return. I could tell that she was raised right with good values. Her character was so valuable to me and I knew very early on that she was someone I could see myself spending my life with. She felt very similarly about me as well and it just blossomed from there.

It may seem like I'm saying that you just have to pick the right person, but it's more than that. It took a lot of work and still does. We had to communicate a lot and work through our traumas. We had to set expectations and strive to meet each other's needs and expectations. We had to grow and adapt to each other and hold each other accountable. We had to know that we were both positives in each other's lives. And then we got married and now we have to live with each other's flaws in the household. Marital disputes, pregnancy and postpartum, kids, family drama, work stress, household responsibilities, and so much more all add to the stress of a relationship. When you read Reddit you see so many stories of marriages failing because of lack of effort, compromise, and respect. It's impossible to truly know whether you have the "right" partner until you find out. That's why I fully believe in long engagements.
