There’s the whole ‘broken trust’ aspect, from the financial stuff. People don’t want to have sex with spmeone they can’t trust. Maybe she is also exhausted from working and taking care of your four children. Perhaps taking some load off of her by helping out more around the house would decrease the stress levels and make her more likely to be in the mood.

Hope he has a speedy recovery.

I think there are inside jokes that only the tabletop DnD people catch too.

Ok, that makes alot of sense. I’m like the person who watched the movie and think I know what the book is like (but really the book is much better).

That’s really social and positive.

In a way, you respect yourself by not sinking to their level.

DnD is kind of a cross between improv, telling stories, and a choose-your-own-adventure, from what I gather from my spouse who runs games for a living. Playing Baldurs Gate 3 was really eye opening and I think the game helps one understand the appeal of tabletop RPGs a bit better.

I’ve asked local Costco workers what it’s like working for Costco. They say the company treats them very well.

That’s really good to know! Thanks!

Yes, I hear you. 👍

Your resources are your own and will be required for you to recover and heal and get back on your feet. Any surplus, when it eventually comes, can be reinvested back into yourself for now. Helping yourself is helping others, as a healthy, happy you is an asset to your community.

After so many years of caring, it’s tough to sever the connection. A clean break would be best, but is hard to achieve. Strings attached are not in your interest, and favour an ex that want much more than you can (or should) give. Patterns from the past are good to acknowledge.

Your sense of responsibility is a beautiful thing, and will be a treasure in another context and relationship. Right now it probably makes this all incredibly painful.

An emotional support animal has no public access rights under the law. They are not allowed in restaurants and businesses any more than pets are.

Yes, service animals must be safe, and should be trained and expected to perform well, as they have to go into public places as part of their work.

I’m sorry about that.

And keep trying until you find the right therapist/therapy that works for you. There is huge variation in quality and effectiveness.

Brainspotting has been lifechanging for me. Took me decades to find it though.

It was just a showerthought, but this platform turned it into an interesting discussion. How amazing.

I have read that it is important to create content for Lemmy, in order to feed it. This has been my first post, I think. Better to get it done than put it off. I am glad people have been able to discuss.

Yes, I think your comment captures my showerthought. It was an excercize in empathy. I do realize that the love for a sacred animal is significantly more profound than the way I feel about my dog. That being said, I do have respect and love for my dear canine companion, which causes an inhibition for eating him.

I too like cows. They make sense to me.

The eating-a-human thing is symbolic. I take it as a reminder to have respect for the sacrifice made by the animals that died to make the food we eat. They support our life and so a level of respect is called for.

People think of Jesus as an avatar, like god playing a computer game on earth. So in that sense Jesus is video game god.

I hate the whole hellfire thing. It seems very manipulative.
