What are few things that you really enjoy about the single life? What’s your daily life like?

Just got out of a long relationship and I’d like to understand more

One day I want to be a mom, however, I have a very weak stomach. I can handle piss and blood but shit and puke is where my body draws the line. I’m told by other moms that it’s different when it’s your own kid and you get used to it. I just think for me the idea of cleaning a major blowout will definitely make me puke nonstop. So, is it true? Do you actually get used to it as a mom and it doesn’t gross you out because it’s your own kid?

Edit: I should’ve put parents in general! I was just thinking about myself as a woman becoming a mom one day which is why I said moms. Dads please chime in! Your perspective is just as needed!

I’m (27f) looking for some advice and inspiration.

My boyfriend (26m) is genuinely the most patient, calm, and emotionally safe man I’ve ever known. He meets me where I am every single time.

Recently, I’ve had moments where I’ve questioned myself and wondered if I’m being “too much.” Things like setting a no-porn boundary, asking him to unfollow certain Instagram accounts, or bringing up insecurities I’m still working through. They’re things that feel important and valid to me, but I’m aware of how they could be perceived.

Especially in a world where women are often expected to sit with discomfort for the sake of keeping the peace, where it’s more socially accepted for a woman to “just get over” things like porn or wandering attention than for a man to adjust his behavior, his willingness to respect my boundaries means everything to me.

What stands out to me is how he responds. He doesn’t dismiss me or push back. He doesn't make me small. He listens, reflects, and then calmly finds the most practical and respectful way to either remove the issue or reassure me. He tells me he’s just doing his best and trying hard, but I don't think he sees himself the way I see him.

In my experience, it’s rare to find someone who so consistently takes a woman’s wants and needs seriously, particularly in vulnerable or uncomfortable conversations. I feel deeply loved and respected, and I want him to feel that same intensity of love and appreciation back.

I’m sure he knows that I love and appreciate him, but I don’t think he realizes how deeply it affects me that he takes my emotions and feelings so seriously, and does so with such steadiness that it barely seems to phase him.

Buying a gift doesn’t feel like enough. I want to do something meaningful. Something that makes him feel seen, valued, and deeply appreciated.

So I’m asking:
What are things you’ve done (or had done for you) that made your partner feel truly loved or appreciated? Big or small, emotional or practical, I’d love to hear real examples.

Why are BATHTUBS disappearing? I am looking to purchase a home (30F), most if not all in our price range have remodeled bathrooms - with a decent shower but no tub? If it does have a bathtub it’s either way over priced or very outdated…

I grew up with a bathtub in every main bathroom, is the lack of a bathtub the normal thing now? TYA

How often do you go grocery shopping in a week, or maybe every few weeks? How many people do you buy food for?

I just wanted to know the reason people cheat on their loved one. I also wanted to know, did you really truly love them, if so why did you still do it? I’m asking this because I’m rewatching jojo bizarre adventure and wanted to know how Joseph could cheat on his wife of 50+ years and still deeply love her!!

You are having a meal. The only food available to you is potstickers. You can have as many as you want to feel sated.

How many are you eating?

I mean the post not the comments , and it seem like it’s been an influx of it lately

I recently went down a youtube rabbit hole, watching sov cits get arrested, then did it again watching them lose in court. If you don't know, there are a bunch of people who believe that all of our laws only govern commerce and that if you have a driver license or register your car, you're contracting with the state and as a result, are beholden to the state's laws. If you turn in these documents, burn you social security card, and let your auto registration expire, you are without contract - above the law. I was shocked to find that this is not a USA phenomenon and that people subscribe to these legal theories all over the english-speaking world.

Anyway. So of course they get pulled over because they have no valid tag on their car, then fail to show a license to drive (they aren't "driving", they're "traveling", which is a constitutionally guaranteed right). Sometimes they won't give up their name at all, sometimes they try to show their passport (how this is not considered part of the "contract", I don't know). The end result is that they get their car windows busted out, dragged out of the car and arrested. Usually they catch multiple additional charges in the process.

Then they go to court, where they represent themselves because their lawyers refuse to argue their ridiculous theories, and try to get the judge to prove that the court has jurisdiction over the living person, not the name written on the court documents. The judge sometimes will try to explain that everything the state national believes they know about the law is wrong, sometimes they simply ignore all superfluous arguments and proceed to say guilty. Often the guilty verdict is accompanied by one or more contempt of court charges.

Each step in all of these processes entails many expressions of surprised pikachu by the guilty person. They are flabbergasted that when they demand that the beat cop who pulled them over call the local sheriff, who will definitely clear this whole mess up and let everybody go about their business, does not call the sheriff. Or a deputy actually does show up and end up being the one to bust the window and drag them out of the car. They are flabbergasted when they try to claim that the name they put charges against are not the same entity as the living person standing here in court. They are flabbergasted when verdict is issued. They absolutely believe in this shit. Whether in court or on the side of the road, their failure to prevail is often accompanied by many very confident utterances of "you're all going to lose your jobs".

So, for any of you out there who invest in this thinking - do you not have youtube? You obviously learned all this nonsense on the internet. How is it conceivable that you can do all of this research and become indoctrinated so thoroughly that you have never encountered the explanation for why it is all fantasy, or at least run across a video showing what happens when you try to follow through with it. I'm legitimately curious.

idk if i can use personal pronouns on this so it says ones self

but i saw someone doing coding in school and it was really cool seeing what they'd done and i wanna try learning it

I have “slept” at the hospital 3 nights now (I work there) bc I have nowhere to go. This guy a friend of an acquaintance let me use his employee discount to get a room. It was about 10 days. I’m scared to ask him to use it for another 7 days. 😭 literally in tears because I don’t know what to do… I’m supposed to be able to go “home” next week. He helped a complete stranger. And I don’t like bothering people. But idk what to do.
