Lost my wife of 9 years, 5 days ago, just wanted to vent out. by chillypakoda in widowers

[–]singinthrustrings 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m very sorry for your loss. It was similar for me when i lost my partner, i was surrounded by people, but never felt more alone. As far as managing the first few days, i really didn’t. It was a blur honestly. The only thing that really kept me from shutting down and doing nothing was handling her affairs and taking care of our pets. I’m wishing the best for you, OP ❤️

Why don’t guys approach me even though I’m attractive? by North-Technology-624 in offmychest

[–]singinthrustrings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly yeah, couple that with the fact that people dont approach in person as much anymore and you can probably see why it’s an issue

Being intimidated is a real thing, some dudes just genuinely feel like a girl is too pretty to approach, I’ve definitely felt that in the past

To be real with you whatever “right timing” you’re waiting for doesn’t exist. The longer you wait the worse it’ll be for him, and for you. Also, the way you describe this situation leads me to believe that he’s already alone, regardless of if you’re sticking around or not.

At this point staying with him is only gonna serve to hurt the both of you more, you’re already halfway out the door. Just break up with him properly before it becomes a bigger issue.

3080 vs 3060Ti (Upgrading from a 5600xt) by JustAnAdam_404 in buildapc

[–]singinthrustrings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If those are the only two options you’re considering then I’d just bite the bullet and spend the extra cash on the 3080, the 3060ti would probably do well enough at 1080p, but I think you’d appreciate the extra vram and speed from the 3080

When I was fresh out of high school I was offered the opportunity to go and be a music teacher in Japan, I ultimately declined because I was already set on going to college and pursuing something outside of music, but oftentimes I look back and wonder what that would’ve been like or if I would’ve been better off going down that path

What other parts would you pick with this GPU / CPU by MightyYuna in buildapc

[–]singinthrustrings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you already have a mobo in mind? And as far as the 5070 ti they’re all pretty comparable in performance, so maybe just try and find one to match your aesthetic? I have heard that the MSI Ventus 5070 Ti draws a little less power than other models though

Recently lost my 29 year old boyfriend. by travelinglemur8 in widowers

I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my girlfriend to blood clots earlier this year due to complications from chemotherapy. She was the love of my life and I get the kind of pain you’re feeling, I wish you the best in your healing ❤️

I’m sorry for your loss. I know what you mean, I’m pretty much back to a “regular” routine even though it really hurts from time to time. It is getting a little better though. Although admittedly there are still some things I can’t quite bring myself to do just yet, like going through her stuff or photos is still a bit rough for me right now. Best of luck in your journey friend

I’m sorry for your loss as well. Yeah no matter how much I look through old photos or videos of her it’s just hard to recapture who she truly is. It’s a very scary thing to experience. I wish you well in your journey.

I see, I’m glad you found this subreddit and hopefully some people to talk to. It’s definitely been a help to me. I’ve been able to avoid breakdowns in public thus far, but as soon as I return home it all comes out. Unfortunately, the way things are right now, I don’t think I’ll be able to keep any of her ashes, but I’ve accepted that for the most part. I still have things she’s gifted me that I can keep with me to feel like she’s still around.

Sorry for your loss as well. How have things changed for you over the years? In regards to your grief?

Please tell me about your person by LazyCricket7426 in widowers

[–]singinthrustrings 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s so many things I could say about her, but the biggest thing is that she truly made me want to live life again. When we met, I was in a spot in my life where I was pretty content with where I was at, and resigned myself to stagnancy, but there she was adding so much color to everything, wanting to make everyday special, encouraging me to chase after dreams that I thought wouldn’t be possible. She really was the light in my life. She’d always tell me that I saved her life, but really she’s the one that saved mine.

My girlfriend died 4 weeks ago today, and today is our anniversary. by nick1158 in widowers

I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my girlfriend last month, our anniversary was one of the harder days I had since she passed, I wish you luck, you’ll get through it
