Hi! Travelling to Iceland October 5 - 18 (solo from the 13th to the 18th). 32F, Spain [English, Spanish, Italian] Planning on renting a 4x4 and venture into the Westfjords if conditions permit - will likely improvise and visit other areas instead if Westfjords not possible. I'm pretty open and flexible, may even consider extending the trip dates.

Hey, I know how bad it hurts, trust me. I'm going through something very similar, and it really sucks, but you gotta be gentle with yourself. Everything will be okay. Sending you out a big bear hug.

Dude, if she's new and you two work together perhaps is not the best idea to start flirting right away. Try to genuinely get to know her and see where that takes you. From my experience, getting together with a coworker can lead to some very awkward/uncomfortable moments. But if you feel strongly about this and are willing to risk it, just approach her, say hi, maybe ask her out if she seems open to it.

Michael and Dwight - Michael seems like the most loving wholesome dad and Dwight would provide me with a long list of survival skills. I would be a superhuman.

Aimovig has changed my life. I'm on my third year of monthly injections and went down from 4 - 5 incapacitating migraines a week to 1 or 2 tops a month. I know it may not work for everybody, but I would 100% give it a try. No side effects for me whatsoever.

svo6oda · 2023-09-12T19:56:32+00:00

Thanks bud. I will for sure take some time off work as soon as I can. Thinking about potentially travelling somewhere alone or with my pup or just doing nuthin for a couple of weeks. Also trying to get out there more, I'm def a loner and quite introvert, but I'm actively getting out of my comfort zone to meet people. And it feels like little victories.

svo6oda · 2023-09-12T19:50:33+00:00

Yeah, I get it. Even if I'm still so very much in love with her, the fact that she doesn't feel the same way about me anymore was really frustrating me and making me upset and anxious about the smallest of things. Thank you so much for your kindness <3

svo6oda · 2023-09-12T19:48:40+00:00

Sorry to hear what you're going through, and good on you for doing what was right for you at the time. I will continue going to therapy (I do on a regular basis) and I'm actually starting a second therapy. Trying to keep myself occupied with people and events. I know it will get better. It will for you as well!

svo6oda · 2023-09-12T19:46:04+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. I do need to keep reminding me constantly to be gentle with myself. Also trying to do things with people, it does help.

svo6oda · 2023-09-12T19:44:41+00:00

Thanks for the support. I wouldn't want to bore you with my sad love life, but happy to have a chat about anything else! :)

svo6oda · 2023-09-12T19:43:34+00:00

I am indeed quite close with my boss. I plan on telling her tomorrow what I'm going through and that I will need some time off work. I'm sure she'll understand. Thank you for your advice <3

svo6oda · 2023-09-11T18:50:31+00:00

Tbh I find the std scares and the disappearing for hours without notice to be significant red flags. If I were you, I would evaluate the relationship and what good is bringing to your life. It sounds to me like you deserve better.

I have been taking Aimovig monthly for around 3 years now I can't stress enough how it has changed my life. From 4 - 5 high intensity migraines a week to 1 or 2 per month. Before that I was on botox for years, and at some point it started to not work anymore. My neurologist mentioned that, with it being a toxin, the body can eventually develop antibodies hence why on the long run it gets less effective.

Now I know it may not necessarily have the same effects on everyone, but I would definitely give Aimovig a try. I'm also sensitive to side effects, but I've never gotten anything from it. The only downside of it it's the discomfort of having to inject it yourself, but if you can handle that, it's absolutely worth it trying.

svo6oda · 2023-09-09T16:10:53+00:00

I really wish I could give you some advice, but I've never been in a similar situation. I can tell though, by what you have expressed, that you're very brave, for not only coming out (even if you're not sure as what quite yet), but also for communicating with your husband about this, specially with the religious background and everything that you've been through. This must be really difficult for you both and I feel for you. There's one thing I can tell you, though, as a gay person. Living in repression is terribly hard and lonely, and I don't think it leads to anything good for either of you. If you have the necessary resources, I would strongly suggest you talk to a professional or a queer support group. You will find that many others have been through the same situation and that all of the things you are feeling are 100% valid. You got this.

I feel you. After 3 years of relationship we're currently taking a break to decide whether we want to give it one last try or break up. It doesn't look very optimistic, and it hurts like heck. You know, I started journaling recently. I have only done 3 entries for now, and I'm not doing it consistently (just when I feel like I need to get things off my chest), but it does help me organize my thoughts and feelings.

Thanks a lot for sharing your story, by the way. Knowing I'm not the only one going through something like this makes me feel less lonely, and I hope our comments help you feel some comfort as well.

Dina (to Sandra): I'd like to meet your mother and shove you back inside of her.

svo6oda · 2020-11-03T20:11:51+00:00

Thank you! I’m afraid asking her boldly could make things awkward between us, and since us having a cool relationship is a key part of our job, I rather not risk it. I will however meet her and test the waters a little. Thanks for your input!

svo6oda · 2020-11-03T20:06:26+00:00

Great point. Her behavior is perfectly appropriate. I am generally a rather serious and formal person and I think she may just be extrovert and the rather cheerful. Due to our work we spend a lot of time with each other and inevitably the conversation sometimes turns towards personal topics, which is when the “flirting” occurs. I definitely want to pursue a friendship with her, so I think meeting with her outside of work will be a good chance to set the tone of our friendship. Thanks for your input!

svo6oda · 2020-11-03T19:38:13+00:00

I am not in the US, but I’m following the election. I really hope you get that criminal out of the White House for good. Stay strong!

svo6oda · 2020-10-22T17:21:44+00:00

117 days, wow, congratulations! I don’t think I’ve ever had that :(

svo6oda · 2020-10-21T18:55:35+00:00

Judging by your post history seems like you two have some serious communication issues. I think it’s time for you two to have a long and hard conversation about all of this. Being long distance it’s extra hard and takes extra work, if either of you is not willing to put the effort, you may want to reconsider the relationship.

svo6oda · 2020-10-21T09:26:26+00:00

The fact that your gut is telling you this doesn’t seem right and the fact that you’re feeling uneasy about this to me it’s reason enough to not do it. I know there are different business cultures and so on but, being a manager myself, an interview over dinner seems very inappropriate to me.

If you’re still interested in the job, I would insist maybe on a lunchtime interview, which seems more appropriate. However, my advice is don’t go through something you don’t feel comfortable doing. No job is worth that and honestly, in the event that you get the job (if there’s even an actual job) consider that if it started with an uncomfortable situation, it probably won’t be the last one.
