Would you date an ex army/marine who has actually been through wars (and killed people) and told you that they can hear ringing noises?

Married one. I think it depends highly on how much support/therapy/processing they’ve been able to do since and if they’ve been able to work on any PTSD. Some folks manage it well and adjust (which does take openness and effort), some haven’t been able to address it which can be tough. Had one friend who had to leave a vet with PTSD because he would wake up at night panicked and punch out walls looking for snipers.

Just as long as the ringing noises aren’t telling him to save France...

If they’re serious and open minded about getting help for PTSD or any other syndromes that can be caused by front line service, yes. The marines go through pretty intense screening so you know you’re getting someone good but he may need more tlc than others.

Most style guides call for no spaces, and some of the blame still sits on the head of those making choices—sadly enough, we are all asked to make many decisions that can be life-altering early on. D2 chooses their side of the fence. No need to tag on an “immature” social class dig. US citizens who have made it to 18—I am sure we all saw marketing and reps from the US military by that age. I grew up lower-middle class (if even) in a single-parent home as a first-gen, black and queer person. I had every reason to try and grab a low-hanging fruit...but I did not see myself being my best with a gun in my hand. So, like I said, your claims about class lines and points of interest in this codified “Chardonnay” reference can go take a seat. Maybe you should focus some energy on having a child/the child you already have. Go “parent”/talk down to them, so the paternalism makes sense.

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?

Gay man who works in a large org that is big on diversity and inclusion efforts. I’d say about 50-60% of people (at all levels, across all age groups and races) list their gender pronouns in email signature. I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)
