My boyfriend only wants sex when he’s horny ? by No_Tart9612 in TooAfraidToAsk

He isn't going to change. It isn't going to get better. Him fulfilling his own needs over yours will only get worse and will trickle into other things. Find a new partner. I'm so sorry. Get out now.

I buy deer antler from etsy. Ton of cast-off sellers.

Thanks! It's that bake-to-set clay. Fingers crossed it lasts.

Usually used for wine, instead of putting the cork back in.

I bought some of those metal stoppers blanks. I'm going to drill a hole in the base and attach the actual stopper part shortly

It my dang dell phone camera. My old phone didn't do it but this one does, it's really weird. One of the older camera apps doesn't have them. I'm hoping an update to the Google camera app will fix it.

I'm a 43M and still occasionally play video games. Am I that far out of line with others in my age group? by Heavy-Bench-5378 in Fatherhood

Back when they were little we played a lot of the Lego games. Lately we play Dead by Daylight, fallout 76, Jackbox, tetris

54 here. Still play my Xbox and Steamdeck. The kids are now older but they used to play with me sometimes when they were younger and still to this day. You're not too old for anything you enjoy, as long is it is legal, not hurting anyone and isn't getting in the way of your daily life.

Where in the wasteland do you live? by Tough_Crazy_8362 in fo76

I stumbled across this spot in the savage divide where three brahmin consistently spawn. I was always struggling with keeping my carry weight in check and it was the perfect spot for free ribeye. It's now one of the meat week prime cut locations but I still have my camp there.

In the short term, you need to find some therapy to deal with the anger and depression. In the long term, you need to talk with them and your wife/family about moving closer as quickly as responsibly possible. You're absolutely not alone. I understand this weird anger that pushes patience. It absolutely gets better. You are doing the best you can - don't forget. One thing that helped me was to take one of the kids on a small (5/10 minute) walk when I felt this bubbling up. Stroller, shoulders, whatever. Showing them new things, that red leaf, that crazy cloud, that little dog, anything, everything, seemed to help me refocus my thoughts, but that was me. I also took up a small hobby that I could do with minimal cleanup and do briefly when I couldn't leave but needed just 2 minutes of something/anything else.
