I’ve seen this happen quite frequently, within my own family and friends. A couple gets divorced, and within less than a year they’re already remarried to a new partner! And sometimes this cycle repeats multiple times; they have multiple marriages and divorces within the span of a decade. If your marriages clearly aren’t working out, what’s the rush to repeatedly get married again??? Why not just date longterm?

And how are their ears not permanently damaged from this?

What's weird is that it's almost always the same shitty type of music to. I never see people blasting classical music.

I was in second grade when 9/11 happened. I remember that day. My thoughts, worries, confusion. What I don’t remember was how life felt different before vs after. I think I was too young to compare the two. I hear so many people talk about how life was different after 9/11. Can you tell me what changed and why you think 9/11 caused the change? This question can be tackled from any angle: culture, economy, mental health, etc. Anything you feel like was drastically affected by 9/11.

When I'm on my knees in front of a bi married guy. Would it be a bad idea to start talk about how hot his wife is while I play with his balls, and right before I start sucking his cock?

I already searched this up a bit but im more curious for the girls that have tried it more than once

I (28M) am a fairly "happy" person. But I always tell myself that that's only when I'm distracted. I play games with my friends all day, watch a bunch of stuff, suffer from the occasional doom scrolling every now and then, I genuinely enjoy a lot of things in life. But every time, when I'm alone, and it's quiet, no distractions, I think to myself that I am miserable.

I should say that yes I've been depressed before and I've also not had the easiest of years (messy relationships), but overall, and I've talked about this in therapy too, I have so much to be genuinely happy about, I have friends, I have fun hobbies, I am interested into learning new things and I do have goals and aspirations for life even though I think it might be hopeless sometimes when I'm down. But I haven't been able to tell myself that, even with all that, that I am happy. I just feel like I'm distracting myself 99% of the time. Like I'm taking my mind off of problems with hobbies, with friends, with music. So it feels... "fake".

Is it even a thing? Am I just struggling with something that keeps me from seeing myself as being happy? Or is the world just one big distraction after the other and people are only really "happy" if they can somehow perfectly distract themselves 100% of the time without stopping themselves from their responsibilities and things they have to do?

I’m 20m, I feel like I masturbate wayyy too much. Sometimes 2-3 times a day. I feel like this will affect my ability to not only get hard but to have sex as well. I know there is nothing wrong with masturbating and it’s normal for someone of my age to be doing it a lot, but how can I limit it to maybe 1-2 times a week? How can I stop the horny from taking over?

Im very shy and have pretty high social anxiety. I have some friends from highschool but they are very few, and not only do our schedules rarely line up, I find I’m not relating to them as much as I used to. Outside my friends I have work acquaintances who I’m friendly with but it never leads to anything outside of work either. Ever since I graduated highschool I’ve been working so I haven’t made many friends due to a mix of my socials issues, my work schedule, and my general career field being made up of people who are a couple generations older than me. How can I make more friends?

I’m strongly opposed to dictatorship, especially when it’s justified in the name of communism. At the same time, being an atheist, I don't personally value religious freedom as much—as long as the state itself maintains a secular or atheist stance.

That said, I understand that it's a slippery slope, and I would never support any form of government-imposed restrictions on freedom of speech or freedom of religion.

Still, hypothetically speaking—if a country had no racism, no communalism, ensured food security , provides free healthcare & eduction and upheld economic equality, then apart from religious freedom, what other fundamental rights would people need to raise their voice for?

From an outsider’s perspective, it sometimes seems that Chinese citizens, assuming they are non-religious and not part of any persecuted ethnic group, might not face as many daily struggles. But of course, I recognize that this assumption doesn't hold true in all cases.

My question is: If a state genuinely provided equality, economic stability, and peace—but restricted freedom of speech while staying secular—would lack of religious freedom or "Cultural genocide or culturicide" be a serious concern?

be minded this is just hypothetical thoughts, I know the practical implications of restricting freedom of speech and freedom expression.

I 33F and my husband 34M have been together (14 years), the last 3 years have been awful and I’m done. How do end it? Because I thought it was going to be a conversation, but it’s been like 1 conversation on repeat for an entire day. I have said I’m done, I said we’re over. I tried I’ve lost any hope of a future with you. I tried we should go our separate ways. And he just doesn’t get it. He just keeps circling back round to but I’ll do better, try harder, I’m sorry… But it’s all too late. I’m done

But it’s like he won’t accept what I’m saying to him.

I'm just curious. When I was very skinny some people did treat me a little differently.

This question applies to other phrases for deaf people as well. Are there multiple ways to say the same thing? I've seen women do the universal sign for sucking dick, but if a straight man or lesbian woman wanted to say it, would they still have to sign like THEIR mouth is being used?

Edit - I should have put examples. Eg such as a man who's attracted to muscular women. And people who are attracted to cross-dressers.

Basically I lost my virginity last week and we’ve had sex a few times but I haven’t come during any of them. I have no clue why as I am hard and into it just not cumming. Also, after every time we do it I have this crazy feeling where my balls are aching. Maybe it’s because I’ve jacked off too much but idk.

I had headphones on and didn't hear him

I have a trust fund, and my investment properties bring me around 5k€ net monthly. I don't pay rent. I live a comfortable life, but I really truly enjoy working in my field. Is it wrong to apply for jobs as a qualified individual in this job market?

Usually when I’m in bed alone with my own thoughts is when I get sad when nothings happened to trigger it. Mainly low self esteem but also other things including g worrying about relationships and loneliness. What triggers it in the evening and what could I do about it?

A lot of people I see online say "if you're broke do not date until you get money".

I am very far from perfect. I judge others. I get angry, I get frustrated with others. I think about how I would have done something better.

But I really do try and control those urges as best as possible. I do my absolute best to always consider myself the equal of all others.

In essence I try to destroy my ego as much as possible. How successful I have been is up for debate. The only thing that is for certain is that I try and hide my ego as much as possible from myself and from others.

This means I put no concern into things like social status, wealth, education level, whether people like someone else or not. To me I just try and accept everyone as they come :)

To the best of my ability as possible I never compare myself to others. I never sell myself. I never brag.

Is there just something about dating and relationships that requires an ego of some sort? I will admit that being autistic has made me realize how clueless I am about so many things.

It gets frustrating always being single. Am I breaking some sort of unwritten rule by putting zero concern into my status at all?

So I haven't seen my bf in weeks and I'm going back home today. I'm really horny and I would like to do something special. I'd like to do something that is suggested to me online, so please be part of my sex life :)

It can be an outfit, a position, an act, anything.

My idea was to wear makeup and my new shoes, and nothing else. But I also have new red nail polish and the shoes would cover it, and make up may be annoying for making out. Open to ideas!
