You aren’t alone. My relationship is very similar but we are wlw. I still love her but I know I certainly need more in the relationship department because her chronic pain and mh means she ends up gaming all day when I stopped being as much of a gamer years ago. I will sometimes just ask her to do mundane tasks on my computer for me so I feel like we are doing something together. I have a really active social life but she has a couple of friends she socialises with every so often.

I’ve been thinking about it for a while so I thought adding my two cents from a similar position might help. I think being poly might be the right answer for me and taking over the room of another housemate when they leave.

I feel really fulfilled by my friends but I feel lonely in my relationship. I suppose that the difference is that it feels like some of will do cute little things to help me without being asked when my gf feels like she needs prompting to do anything more than look up from her screen and tell me she loves me.

I’m disabled myself and elements of my disability frustrate her too but she says that she is upset with the disability and not me and I feel the same towards her. I know that if she would pay enough attention to the real world that she would remember how much pain she is in, but I can’t stop myself feeling lonely despite that.

I don’t want to feel like I’m butting in on your post with this, I thought being upfront about it might make you feel a little less alone like your post did for me. :)

Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge? That you?

That assumes that it is a neutral act and an act based souly on who hit first. It leads to some serious moral consequences to work based on the schoolyard politics of, “But miiiissss, he hit me first”

I’m currently sat beside my wife who is half asleep hugging one of our blahaj. She sleeps with one every night.

Since 112ish, I’ve had a bug where it keeps reloading rapidly. Forcing Xwayland makes it a little bit better but it is far from completely fixed

Does anyone remember Yogventures?

Putting it out there for someone to do this for cops in the UK. I can’t run infrastructure but the cops terrorise out local community and constantly refuse to identify themselves/turn off their badge cam.

I don’t really know what to say other than to say that there are absolutely guys that do this, because they see it as less stigmatised than therapy.

Shoe0nHead. She is a blast from the past after getting harassed by her followers one too many times. Hopefully she is less of a shithead now she isn’t with Armoured Skeptic and isn’t as online.

Seriously though, don’t go using sex workers as therapists that you screw. Its fucking weird having a guy as old as your dad tell you about how hard his life is with his hand on your leg as it is.

I’m opposed to violence, however I define it differently to how the state does. One example of violence that wouldn’t be considered by the state to be violence is calling the cops.

Violence is a hierarchy and as soon as you understand that, the more you understand it as a meaningless term.

I think I’m just gonna tag you as a misogynist with my Lemmy client and move on with my day. Maybe less demanding women debate you in the marketplace of ideas might be good for you. This is weird and beggy.

I mean, like, the concept of “submissive and breedable” is just rooted in a shitty origin really. It it dehumanising and minimises people to their ability to get pregnant. Spreading it outside of the context of the meme means spreading the misogyny of the term itself.

Are you actually trying to say you are not a misogynist while simultaneously calling a woman hysterical? Did you know that the Greek word for womb is “hystera”?

You’d be surprised that I had someone in my replies the other day saying they never came across misogyny on here. The replies are yikes.

Christ - some of these replies are exactly what a lot of women talk about when we say that Lemmy has a misogyny problem.

Blokes really don’t recognize how much harder shit actually is for women, overall. It would be lovely to just sit on a bench for 5 mins without a stranger coming to chat me up, or if people would stop crediting men for my work when they don’t even ask for it.

I know someone who does business IT where the ISP were trying to charge a huge amount to connect fibre to one of their sites. Thankfully, they had another site a few miles away that was already connected. They found it was cheaper to stick a pole on each building with an omnidirectional WiFi antenna. Apparently the speeds weren’t too bad even though ping often left a little to be desired.

If you want a detailed response to this, reading Michel Foucault would probably be better than anything I could really say. He is a bit of a weirdo (putting it likely) like plenty of philosophers though.

Only ever had one of these, but I wasn’t popular in school, and the vibe of person I have hung out since then are too anticapitalist for the most part.

Most of it tends to be where a woman will mention experiencing something disproportionately, as a woman, and there will always be a man in the replies saying that men experience it to.

There is a recurring thing on poor consent towards women’s bodies too, particularly whenever SWers are mentioned. That’s more of a carry over from Reddit though.
