Is it a pattern that most of Zendaya's haters are right-wing or is it just a coincidence? in c/[email protected]

Idk if you've seen Euphoria, but that's the show that really made me like her as an actress. Didn't think much of her before.

I've always preferred "suspish"

Fusion of [email protected] and [email protected]? in c/[email protected]

This is a fantastic idea. I really love the decentralization of Lemmy, but I do feel the side effects of having many copies of the same subject on different instances.

And to your point, I'd love for niche communities to have a larger audience. I need somewhere to post and read about project zomboid.

What item did you get from your ex that you still have, but not because you associate it with your ex / are hung up on them? in c/[email protected]

Growing up, I spent every Sunday going to a church my grandpa established, and afterwards my entire family would go over to my grandparent's house for lunch. We would usually be there for hours, so many Sundays, my cousins and I would play gladiator outside in the backyard. We'd make weapons and armor out of whatever we could find, and just have a battle in the backyard. We did this from the time that we were little kids and all the way through my time in high school.

In my early college years, I had mentioned to my boyfriend (who i had been with since high school) that I really missed this tradition with my cousins.

He bought me this cute little gladiator doll to hang up on my car's rearview mirror as a memento of those special times. No longer have that boyfriend, but I still have that little doll.

I think they're actually referring to Trump in this situation

Wait, it seems like we don't want to follow the rule of 3.

I think it's rather fitting Edit: not a frump fan, nor am I a Christian. Was being facetious.

Nah, the face plant years are where you just skip the hand and directly slam your face into the nearest surface because of the off-the-charts level of absurdity you're hearing. More fitting for the current state of things.

How did you hurt yourself in a very stupid way? in c/[email protected]

I'm sure you didn't think so at the time, but that's hilarious

What's the point (lonestarlemmy.mooo.com)
 

Everyone knows relationships are hard work. Everyone knows that relationships hit roadblocks and whatever the fuck else. Fucking why. What's the point? Be with a person that you mostly tolerate most of the days that you exist? And even then, they still might betray you in a horrible way. I've dealt with a lot of pain and stress and loss in my life, and when the happy shit gets sour, I just don't fucking get it. Why not just live my life fucking off and dying eventually.

Depressed Husband (lonestarlemmy.mooo.com)

My husband is clearly depressed. He is also a proud man, and some degree of old-fashioned. I am 4 years younger than him, and am far more open to the idea of therapy and medication.

For context, he has dealt with his dad (whom he was close with) committing suicide when he was a teenager, a long-term girlfriend (whom he really wanted to marry) cheating on him with multiple men (including a good friend at the time) for years, and his best friend of 10 years (my brother) dying in a rafting accident that we were both part of. I've been struggling personally myself, but I have a few different things I'm trying, including therapy. He is unwilling to try therapy or medication, but isn't getting better, cause holy shit, that's a lot of unprocessed shit to deal with.

It's manifesting in really nasty ways, and hurting both of us. I don't think he means the things he says; I think he's hurting a lot and doesn't know what to do.

For what it's worth, I really have not been great to him or myself. I've been dealing with my own emotional baggage, but I'm not going to get into that. I'm working on it, and feel like after many years of work, have come through a breakthrough where I understand that I do in fact want this person in my life.

How can I help guide him to anything that will help him? Doesn't need to be therapy, medication, or a psychiatrist. Those do seem like the obvious answers, but I'm open to virtually any suggestions.

This man is amazing and a wonderful person, but he's really struggling and doesn't seem to want help, but at the same time, seems like he needs/wants help. Any thoughts?

Edit: I'm really touched by all of the thoughtful responses I've received. I don't like to talk about my marital issues with people in my life, and I know my husband wouldn't want others to know what he's struggling with. This is a great community.

I'm slowly working my way through each response. Seriously - thank you all.
