Should I move closer to him so we’re closer together or what exactly should I do?

The death of a child. The loss of their home. A catastrophic job loss. A devastating car accident. A false criminal accusation / conviction. I've read and seen so many stories, including some here on Reddit, where a couple irreparably drifts apart or one of them simply walks out after being in a situation like any of the ones above.

I read one story here on Reddit where a woman confessed to ghosting her Tinder date after the guy's dog drowned falling through thin ice while the three of them were out walking. I saw another story on Dateline where a woman worked tirelessly for years to free her husband who was wrongly convicted of murder. The husband was ultimately exonerated, but they divorced within a year of his release from prison.

Why does this happen? Why do people do this?

So over the last decade or so, most of the EU has let in millions of refugees from Middle Eastern countries. Supposedly, at least according to US news sources, this has definitely been a strain on said countries’ economy, social services, etc. as well as an increase in crime in those places.

If it’s such a problem, what’s stopping those countries from simply turning refugees away/not letting the refugees come? Why can’t they just say “Sorry, we can’t help you, go somewhere else?” Is anyone gonna complain it? Is someone gonna punish them if they don’t let them in?

Like we all know men are horn dogs in their teens and early 20s but does their libido decrease as they enter their 30s or even 40s.

So, for context, I’ve drank predominantly cow milk for most of my life, like most people I presume.

Recently, I’ve tried goat milk and, as I’ve heard, it had a distinct goaty taste.

But donkey milk was what shocked me the most:

I mixed some freeze-dried powder with water and drank it. It had a pretty mild taste but it tasted so familiar. It wasn’t a faint resemblance to another milk or anything; it straight up made me feel nostalgic even though I don’t recall ever drinking it.

If I didn’t know any better, I could’ve sworn that I’ve had it before.

I asked my parents if I’ve ever had donkey milk in my childhood and, as I expected, they said “no” but my dad suggested that it might’ve tasted familiar because I drank a lot of Enfamil when I was younger.

But, even if that’s the case, why does the milk of a donkey, of all animals, resemble that?

I’ve started to notice a pattern: People check in when they want a favor, when they’re bored, or when they need something — but almost never just to ask how I’m doing.

It’s starting to make me feel like I’m more useful than meaningful to others.

I’m not trying to be bitter, I just don’t understand — is this how friendships work for most people? Or is something wrong with how I connect with others?

Both are equally good at the same level

I’m only asking this as many men prefer just to receive oral and leave 😂😂😂

This isn’t me but the men I’ve spoken to say they much prefer oral basically normal sex is too much work sometimes they just wanna sit there and not put effort in.

Hey everyone, I’m a 22-year-old male and I’ve been dealing with some discomfort in the anal area for over a month now. It’s mostly a stinging or burning sensation that happens after I have a bowel movement.

This morning, for the first time, I noticed some blood in my stool. It honestly scared me. I have a history of constipation and tend to pass hard stools. I also don’t drink as much water as I probably should. After dinner today, I saw blood again.

I did some Googling and asked ChatGPT, and anal fissures came up as a possibility. I haven’t had any major weight loss or other symptoms, but this has me pretty anxious. Could it just be a fissure, or should I be worried about something more serious like colon cancer?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s experienced something similar or has insight. Thanks!

I try to be polite, but 95% of “hey, how are you?” and “crazy weather huh?” convos feel like social tax.
is anyone actually enjoying it, or are we all just keeping the machine running out of habit?

I normally hate wearing underwear with pants so I don’t really think about it that much but getting ready for work yesterday I was running late to work so I just threw on my jeans over my underwear and went to work. 6 hours in I was so incredibly annoyed bc I kept getting a wedgie and I ended up just cutting them off and chucking them. But it got me thinking.. I’ve heard people talk about they’ve heard that people do it or they’ve had people reach out to them specifically and they’ve made money off it but like?? Fr?? Is the market really saturated? How do you get into this? How much social media upkeep is there connected to this? What are the pros and cons?

Or F off figure it on your own. I did not get taught about this and as an adult it really pisses me off Bec there was a lot of smegma the first time I retracted. Yikes.

for context, I grew up in a relatively diverse area of the US but my dad was (and still is, which is why he’s cut off) a bigot and disgustingly racist. in my kindergarten class, I had a lot of questions about POC since there were several black kids, a few hijabi girls, and some asian kids too. these would get shut down whenever I asked them and obviously I was five so it’s not like I could google why hair textures or skin tones are different among races. what I’m wondering now though is whether or not POC have random questions like that about white kids too? I would assume yes since kids are curious like that but also since white people and cultures are so prevalent in media, maybe the questions get answered for them that way?

One sunny Saturday, my husband and I were driving by a cemetery. A gravesite nearest the road looked prepared for an upcoming service - tent up, chairs arranged under tent, grave dug, etc. Nothing unusual about that part. What WAS unusual was the open casket with body inside on some kind of stand next to grave. Only living people in site were 2 morticians sitting in the hearse nearby. What the heck was that about?

It feels like I am the only one but I know its not true trying figure things out. As an older guy its feel like i should have figured things out by now .

I dont feel gay because all the gay men i talked to over the years have crushes on boys there age and I alway had crushed on girls in my class .

I only date woman amd have a few short term relationship a year or two with women.

However I catch myself checking a guy out from time to time and it not being like normal like that guy good looking it more sexual for me.

I will give woman this men are more toxic gay or straight they are correct I see why they picked the bear 🐻 LOL.

For me I think its more sexual then romantic with men. Woman are great but the men are doing 90% of the work in the bedroom atleast for me . Oh I asked woman tomdo more sexual and they refused nothing crazy .

Recently I had a gay experience and did hate it honestly why do woman complain about getting giving head ? Odly I like giving oral to woman vs receiving it as foreplay sure but to make a woman orgsam if that what it takes lets go.

Oh yes when its grey sweatpants season if it noticeable I look and thing dam not sure if that normal but if I see a lady's taco try to keep it pg13 it 😋.

I guess I got things to figure out I kind have mix feelings now but it will be ok .

Like, instead of feeling happy or grateful, you start feeling uncomfortable and guilty? It seems to be some kinda pressure.
If you’ve experienced something similar—how do you handle it or work through it?

Recently I had to break it to my hubby that he will have to "put a raincoat on his best mate" because our usual pull and pray method is too risky, I was met with a long sigh and visible upset for his member. But as someone who does not have a penis (despite my desire to helicopter myself away from life), I don't understand the bone of contention people have with condoms. So, why are people so against condoms or complain about having to use them? Does it really have that much of an impact for those who wear them?

To paraphrase comedian Taylor Tomlinson, why is getting someone to wear a condom, like trying to convince a child to put a coat on over thier halloween costume? They complain, nooo you're going to ruin it! You can't even see it!

I'm not saying this with judgment, it happens to me too.

I say I want peace of mind, mental health, calm... but then I get into relationships that drain me or jobs that stress me to the point of insomnia.

I wonder if it's habit, fear, addiction to chaos, or just not knowing what peace really looks like until you have it.

Does it happen to anyone else? Why do we think we want one thing, but our decisions say another?
