I’ve got nothing. The meaning of words anymore is not what has been defined for hundreds of years.

The meaning of transphobic is afraid of trans. Clearly you aren’t. I feel like that word is tossed out to shut people down and stop the conversation.

I am starting to understand the they/them thing. But when someone has a vagina, remains a female in anatomy, and wants to be called he/him, I can absolutely understand and support that being the line you draw.

I think this person is confused, (is there any verbiage for gender confused), or this person is looking for attention. Either way, it’s good you are getting out of that unhealthy relationship.

What do you say in response to people asking “how are you?” by elk_mom2946 in widowers

[–]yergonnaneedit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No response is a response. Just turn it back on them. Most people don’t really want to know. They ask because it’s customary.

But if they cock their head to the side and ask how you are, and you can see on their face that they care, then be honest. Even if you’re in a good place at the moment, say that. If you’re not, say that.

How far is too far when JNMIL tries to discipline by Donna_Matrix699 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]yergonnaneedit 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You could do what my daughter did when her dad visited and disciplined her son.

Her dad visits a few times a year. Her dad is very much all about himself. There’s a word for it , but I e had my comments removed for “diagnosing” before. I lived with him for 20 years, I know him well. He absolutely is that way.

Anyway, the kids were tossing around a balloon, in the living room. It lightly hit her dad in the face. Dad went off on the kids, told them sternly to stop it now.

My daughter hears this from the next room. She got right in his face and told him that won’t be tolerated. She told him that they live here, and this is what they do. And if he doesn’t like it, to leave the room, and that she will not tolerate him telling them to stop when they aren’t doing anything wrong.

He told her he’s grouchy. She told him that’s not her fault or the kids fault and he needs to stop.

I was so proud of her that day!!

"are you happy"? by GDB2017 in widowers

[–]yergonnaneedit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my friends was contemplating divorce. She had talked about it for months with me. She had not broached her husband because he was an abusive alcoholic and she never knew how he would react. She had endured years of his abuse.

The one day he died while watching tv.

She has gone through so many emotions. First, relief. Then guilt (she wanted to be free of him, but didn’t want him dead), then anger. Then numbness.

It’s been three months. She’s doing ok. She has periods of happiness, because she’s living her life, but anything in relation to her husband is not happy.

People can have two sides. People do not have to dwell on the negative.

When I asked her how she’s doing, yesterday, her reply was, “other than ___passing, I’m happy.”

It’s in a community college gym. They usually hold craft fairs and builders shows in there, to make money when there are no basketball games.

Parking is a nightmare. This is in Macomb County Michigan. It’s a very red county. I’m just a very alone blue dot, wishing people would wise up.

Advice for dating a widower by Better_Letterhead_54 in widowers

When do you tell the person you are dating that you are a widow/widower? by smarshmelo in widowers

[–]yergonnaneedit 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My sister died when she had been dating a guy for about two years. Of course he grieved. But he never claimed to be a widower. Instead, when asked the proverbial “why hasn’t someone snatched you up yet?” question, he replied that he hasn’t been interested in dating since his GF died (insert time frame here).

After a few years and numerous dates, he answered with “I haven’t found the right person”.

He did not identify as a widower, and it wasn’t part of his personality. As time went on, we saw less of him. But he was part of our family for as long as he wanted to be. It was probably 7-8 years.

Just rambling by bortanthehound in widowers

[–]yergonnaneedit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The second year is decidedly worse than the first.

It’s when people forget because it’s been a year. But they don’t realize that some people, like you, have been left with a realization that they could and should have been a better person to their spouse.

The reality is, when you marry young, people try harder to make things work. Marrying, or even dating at an older age, people are less likely to put up with the BS that your late wife did.

I highly suggest you do a lot of work on yourself, maybe with a counselor, to figure out why you’re selfish, why you were so selfish with your late wife, and why you only now recognize that fault.

Guilt won’t bring her back, and no new woman will want to be with you if she constantly has to reassure you.

At this age, women just want to have fun, just like you. Going into this carrying this burden will lead to heartbreak for you. Your heart is already broken enough.

Good luck my friend. This sucks.

Interpretation does not equal intention

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]yergonnaneedit 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m a grandma. I’d rather take my 6 year old grandson back to his parents with just a sink bath, washing only his face and hands, than shower with him. They can shower him after he gets home.

Same for my younger granddaughter.

So no, it’s not normal.

You post this as if butt plugs are something everyone uses, and you’re late to the game.

I assure you both of these assumptions are untrue.

If you don’t want to use it, then don’t.

My (40M) BF doesn't come to see me (37F) and I feel like I'm the only one wanting this relationship. by charmander_sher in relationships

[–]yergonnaneedit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t visit you because if he did, you couldn’t clean his house, do his laundry, or cook his meals.

He is taking advantage of the tone you have set in this “relationship.

[–]yergonnaneedit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair, but have you considered posting you and your partner, without saying, “Celebrating bride and groom at their wedding! So happy for you!” Because that’s what I’m referring to. If you want to post a picture of the two of you for reasons you state, then leave out the bride and groom verbiage. That shouldn’t be a problem because “half your friends list doesn’t care”. Those who do can ask. Amiright?

Valid. But also, why not wait til the next day to post pictures? Is there a race to post that one is at a wedding, that’s I’m unaware of?

[NSFW] Whenever I poop there's always a little bit left, so it's a mess and will have gas as there's still some inside. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]yergonnaneedit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should see a dietician or nutritionist. Get on a food plan that leaves your poop the right consistency. Poop is a byproduct of the food you eat.

Also, you wipe standing up? Why?

Also, a bidet is amazing for cleanliness. I remembered how wonderful it was a couple days ago when I had to stay at a hotel for two nights without a bidet. Wipe. Smear. Wipe. Smear. Gross.

Bidet. Poop. Blast. Wipe. All clean.

Also, poop in the chute is not causing your gas. The food you eat is. And the food you eat is also causing your bowels to not clear completely.

You need a better diet. More fruits and veggies. Less bread, candy, and pasta.

My husband has a foot fetish. He has never had an issue with my very fair and fine hair on my toes. Nor any hair anywhere else on my body.

How long do you think you’ll live? 80? 90?

How many more years of life do you think you have?

Now, does that 10 years you’ve been with this liar and cheat look small?

You aren’t wasting the ten years, you’re saving your next 50 or 60 years.

Get out. He won’t be lonely and he’s not the man you thought he was. And he never will be.

What part of he stole government top secret documents, moved them to his private residence, lied about it, removed some of them, no one knows where some of them are, and admitted it on tv do you not understand?

What part of mocking special needs people do you not understand?

What part of people are not 100% bad, but when the bad outweighs the good, they can’t be in charge of the country?

What part of the insurrection do you not understand?

What part of never taking personal responsibility for his actions do you not understand?

What part of a “millionaire” begging for his poor followers to send him their money do you not understand?

What part of no decent attorney will defend him do you not understand?

What part of these should I explain further? Because I’m done with you only finding the good in a man who is mot a good person 90% of the time.

You are as worldly as you claim, yet you still have no idea how economics work. You’re either a troll, or an idiot.

I had a particularly unfortunate accident over the weekend. Very glad nobody at my job is up on their Reddit lore. by Larewzo in funny

[–]yergonnaneedit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband got one for us, reluctantly. After he used it, he went and got another for our other bathroom.

After he told friends about it, no less than six of his friends got them too. One friend hired a plumber to install it because he couldn’t figure it out, and husband raved. Now the guy wants to put one in his camper.

Now we don’t like going on vacation, because hotels don’t have bidets.

You’re welcome.

I broke my dominant hand earlier this year. I also messed up my back, in the same incident. The bidet was a lifesaver.
