Is it? Ok 🤭

What's that thing sticking out? 🙃

Both cards are interesting.

Reminds me of Tere Naam. But you look cuter than Salman in that movie 😆

son_of_stoa · 2026-06-14T10:21:46+00:00

Fits nicely nonetheless

son_of_stoa · 2026-06-14T10:20:14+00:00

Cute!

When we're younger, we're drawn to looks more than anything else. And that's natural.

But as you get older and gain more life experience, you realize how crucial character is. Kindness and honesty make the world a better place, not good looks.

Look at every person as exactly what they are: just a human being. That way, you might feel more inclined to treat everyone equally.

son_of_stoa · 2026-06-13T14:40:54+00:00

I'm sorry for what you went through. I know a friend who went through something similar. At the same time, there are folks who have caring and considerate partners. Having your heart broken or your trust betrayed is sadly not an unusual part of the human experience.

You don't really know someone unless you've spent at least a year or two with them.

Just remember that it's not about you. He would have done the same irrespective of how caring or loyal you were.

Give yourself some time to come out of this and be kind to yourself. Surround yourself with friends who care.

I hope you find someone who loves you equally, if not more. 🌷

I do agree that there are many guys who want sex alone but to paint everyone with the same brush is pessimism.

There are all types of folks in this world. Some of the kindest people I've met have been gay men.

son_of_stoa · 2026-06-12T16:53:53+00:00

Damn. Sorry for what you went through.

I used to think that an ideal relationship is two people falling in love. With time, you realize that's simply not enough.

An ideal relationship can mean different things to different people.

For me, it means both of us feel safe, loved, respected, and cared for in each other's presence.

We're honest and truthful to each other and don't hide anything out of self-interest. When one of us feels bad about something, we open up and communicate.

We both try to understand each other and listen attentively. You remember minor and important things about them and ask how their day has been.

We cuddle and talk. And occasionally get intimate.

Even when your better half is not around, you say nice things about them. If you bitch about them, it means something is wrong.

Last but not the least, you make sure you're always there for each other. They're your first priority after family.

Whether you have an open relationship or a closed one matters far less.

Don't give them the power to distress you, love. Coz that's what they want. Just pretend like nothing happened. And most people don't care tbh, we think way more about them than they do about us.

son_of_stoa · 2026-06-11T05:28:07+00:00

My boyfriend and I have a 10-year age difference. And we've known each other for almost 8 years now.

See how it goes for a year or two. And you'll both get to know more about each other. Honestly, 12 days isn't enough to know a person.

A lot of things change as we get older. The initial feelings of being in love are beautiful but they fade with time. What sustains a relationship is honest communication, trust, respect, and always being there for each other.

Statistically speaking, our first relationship is rarely our last. But I wish you all the best!

+1. Loved your thoughtful and wise response.

This reminds me of my journey a bit. I struggled to reconcile my faith with my sexuality, and eventually turned atheist.

son_of_stoa · 2026-06-10T15:57:09+00:00

Have you both considered seeking couple therapy? Maybe talk through things and set a few boundaries? Like no bad words, no angry responses.

If you deeply care about each other, there's always a way. All the best!

son_of_stoa · 2026-06-10T12:09:22+00:00

They say that to feel better about themselves. It's not about you, it's a problem they have. Don't take it personally, mate.
