It sucks when you see a photo of a recent ex with someone else. Heart raced for a few mins and felt adrenaline. Guess I really liked her a lot 😔

Well there are 3+ billion women in the world. She’s only special until you find someone better. Then you’ll have a different perspective. If you’re stuck in a rut, dating pool is looking like a stagnant pond, travel! Been there, done that, met the woman of my dreams in the least likely place.

Why not though? @A1

I think if you love someone you should let them know. You don’t want to look back and think to what could have been. Life is too short to be living with regrets. Just do it! If it’s a yes or a no, you’ll know the answer for sure.

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?

I don't know how to solve this problem.

But dog hype and what dog owners get away with in terms of occupying human spaces, jumping on strangers with dirty paws, going to a friends house and having the dogs harass you for food, and obsession on the dating apps is next level obnoxious.

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

Happy wife happy life is a really toxic saying. I’m just shocked how this has become the standard saying for men in relationships. I have friends of mine saying this all the time, and I have just thought it’s so cringe and always want to say my thoughts on it but always decide to hold back. However, imagine the saying reversed - happy husband happy life - that would lead to all kinds of uproar. To me happy wife happy life means I need to sacrifice my wants and needs to make my wife happy.
