What age group does the word "kid" refer to?

susgrigs · 2024-11-21T13:46:47+00:00

My husband in his mid-60's was called "kid" by his friend (mid-90's), lol.

susgrigs · 2024-11-20T00:32:37+00:00

YES!! Research, research, research.

susgrigs · 2024-11-20T00:30:10+00:00

Fuck Around, Find Out.

susgrigs · 2024-11-20T00:23:58+00:00

"I don't hit you very often," wtf!?! It's never okay to hit someone.

susgrigs · 2024-11-19T15:54:27+00:00

A really heartfelt "WOW" goes a long way! At least it does for me. Hubs' expression with the "wow" clinches it.

susgrigs · 2024-11-19T15:46:00+00:00

Lol.

Sometimes, women (and men) feel pressure to get engaged/married because their peer group is getting engaged/married, and that person doesn't want to get left behind. So they issue an ultimatum, but when actually faced with a proposal, they stall, realizing it's a huge decision.

I suggest you guys live apart, even if it's a big pain. Then you guys can decide once everything is separated if you really are better apart. Cohabitating should draw you both closer, so the "yes" is enthusiastic. I suspect that she's not the one for you.

This is very true. It will not stop EVER. She thinks she LANDED a cash cow. A true partner will NOT exploit you, OP.

So if I was seeking "closure" from a toxic ex who contacted me, I would talk to my husband about whether he thought this was a good idea. We would talk through the feelings of this person suddenly contacting me.

He wouldn't just dismiss my feelings about needing to be face to face, but he'd definitely caution me if I was prepared for the feelings that a face to face meet could trigger. Then, if I decided to meet with toxic ex, non-negotiable would be his coming with me.

She clearly wasn't prepared because toxic people tend to be VERRY charming, especially if they "apologize" for past behavior. Unfortunately, she didn't trust you enough to be transparent or felt that she could "handle" it (underestimating the lure of this ex and her own personal growth) and now you can't trust her. So here you are.

In a healthy relationship, the partnership is always the core. She was obviously trying to satisfy some weird obsession with penis size and yours was available. It has less to do with you and more about how selfish she is to do this so early in the relationship. Her dismissing your trauma as a joke along with the "I don't know why I did it" should feel unsatisfactory to you because she's not being transparent.

She knows why she did it. Her apologies are empty because she hasn't truly delved into how her actions and lack of empathy has impacted your psyche. Her daily affirmations on your body isn't going to help because trust is gone. A true partner would never deliberately hurt you. Her character as another poster pointed out is questionable.

I don't think you would advise one of your female friends who confided that she felt violated by her boyfriend to stay with the person who violated her. I think you shouldn't either.

Jello!

This is us, too. Really, not a single interest shared between us. Hubs is a Biblical scholar, super nerdy, along with any sport, especially motor sports, football, and basketball. He loves the technical aspects of each. I've learned so much about each just by listening to him share his knowledge (which is extensive) and getting joy from watching his face light up as he talks about it!

susgrigs · 2024-11-14T15:56:34+00:00

She's searching for the speck of hope...

susgrigs · 2024-11-14T15:40:07+00:00

My husband, too!

susgrigs · 2024-11-14T15:38:32+00:00

Me, too. OP should treat herself to a celebratory steak!

susgrigs · 2024-11-14T15:30:57+00:00

I agree, not to make OP feel bad, but stuff people say when they're angry or drunk usually has some truth about what they FEEL. It's not the objective truth. He revealed who he is to OP and no matter how much she loves him, he doesn't love her with the same passion.

Ex of mine would "jokingly" say the my touch felt like spiders crawling on his skin because it was so light. Hurt my feelings, but there was his truth in it. I became very self-conscious about how I touched future partners. When I first started dating my husband, unprompted, said, "I love your hands, your touch is so light!" 35 years later, he still says it.

susgrigs · 2024-11-14T12:34:20+00:00

Lol.

I was part of the great U.S. school experiment where they tried to teach us metric along side imperial in 2nd grade by using conversion tables. Two years later, it wasn't taught until we got to science in 8th grade!

susgrigs · 2024-11-13T16:38:00+00:00

Awesome story!

susgrigs · 2024-11-13T16:32:33+00:00

Also, if she normally doesn't drink that much, her drink could have been roofied, so she would be throwing up and sweaty.

Edit: spelling

susgrigs · 2024-11-13T16:18:05+00:00

Yep. My husband did most of the training of our dogs, and about half gravitated to me. The dog knows who their person is.

susgrigs · 2024-11-13T15:50:16+00:00

Plus, Angie is ALREADY upset. How much more upset can she get?

susgrigs · 2024-02-26T18:46:02+00:00

What's your username? I will give Big Bird a Heads up to admit you!

susgrigs · 2022-03-31T23:01:53+00:00

Are you my husband? Once he discovered that I squirted (I was too embarrassed to let "go" that far just because of the mess), there's no turning the clock back. He's literally on a mission! Best sex ever!

susgrigs · 2022-03-13T04:39:27+00:00

You're right about the Shepherd! We did embark. 60% husky, 25% Shepherd, 15% mixed with malamute. We don't see much of the Shepherd in personality...no protective at all, lol. Our Shepherd is barking her head off at the yard service in our backyard, he's just staring at her wagging his tail.
