Loneliness in adulthood
Quote from janet1975 on June 28, 2019, 1:32 pmmy husband is the same way. we just sit watch tv and hold hands. he says its enough to feel close. i tried talking more but he gets shut down. so now i just lean into it. sometimes silence is better than fake words. dont force convo if hes not there. just sit with him. it works for us even if it feels weird at first. trust the quiet.

Quote from Goldlabor on August 8, 2019, 6:08 amyeah it is. i’m biracial from chicago and i hate the gym bc it feels so performative. i just do yoga at home listening to hyperpop playlists now. sometimes i skip it entirely bc my anxiety about doing it right paralyzes me. honestly walking around the l loop in my winter coat feels like enough movement for me right now. no shame.

Quote from Trustytree on August 30, 2020, 5:33 pmI stop buying water and snacks there. Margins are insane. I pack my own lunches and bring a reusable bottle. Gas stations are convenience stores first, not grocery stores. You pay for the impulse buy and the 24/7 access. If you really need something quick just grab the basics but dont expect to save money. I left my empty chip bag in the car last time trying to avoid the checkout line temptation.

Quote from CalmWish on August 12, 2020, 4:40 amlol yeah my man is the same. he gets hard like five seconds after we start making out its honestly kinda funny. i just laugh and tell him to chill but also its kinda cute that hes into me that much. we just roll with it and get on with it. no big deal really, just how his body works. sometimes i tease him about being so quick to react but nah its all good.

Quote from Stargazer1983 on September 20, 2020, 2:10 pmive moved every 18 months for work and yeah it kills the vibe. Ngl, hard to build intimacy when you are busy unpacking boxes or sleeping on an air mattress. my partner and i just stopped trying to plan dates during the first year in a new city. we just ordered takeout and watched movies until things settled down. now we wait until lease renews to start dating again

Quote from ReefDesert on July 11, 2020, 6:30 amfr that is wild. like say it louder for the people in the back. i just tell him exactly what i want and how i want it. no games. if he doesnt like it hes not trying hard enough. my guy knows his place and knows how to please me because i made it clear years ago. keep that energy. dont let him gaslight you into thinking ur needs are too much.

Quote from lily1999 on October 2, 2020, 4:28 pmgirls i get that too. Honestly, not gonna lie i think its just sitting at work all day plus the heat. i started wearing compression socks n keeping my legs up when i watch tv at night. helps a lil bit but tbh its just annoying af. prob nothing serious but if it dont go down after a few days u should see a doc just to be safe. idk maybe drink more water too

Quote from sarah1994 on June 22, 2020, 9:14 amsame thing happens to me every time i pick up my toddler. my lower back just locks up. i usually just lie down on the floor with a hot water bottle on it for like 15 mins. also try not to bend from the waist, squat down instead. it helps a bit but honestly just need rest. sending love mama.

Quote from amy1997 on February 2, 2021, 8:08 pmi just blocked him and deleted the app. honestly it felt like a relief. i spent three years trying to fix things that werent broken on my end and now im just focusing on myself. no more late night scrolling or wondering if he’s talking to someone else. peace of mind is worth more than any potential match.

Quote from Isabella1968 on January 25, 2021, 9:21 pmHoney, mine is dead too. My husband snores like a chainsaw so we just sleep. Honestly, I find more joy being alone with a glass of wine or reading a book. It's just life at this stage. Don't beat yourself up about it. We're grandmas now, not models. Enjoy the peace and quiet.
