My 32M wife 40F and her best friend 43F were all hanging out at the house with a few of her other friends. Her best friend kept trying to pull me off the couch to take a shot.
She grabbed both my legs and pulled me right off the couch we started like play wrestling . We were drunk and it was all out of fun. I’m 5’3 and about 130 pounds . She’s the same height as me but weighs more.
I tried grabbing her legs and tackling her but she just pushed me to the ground and had me pinned. I was trying as hard as I could to get up and started turning bright red and my wife and all her friends started laughing so hard. Her friend was barely trying and was able to just keep me pinned there.

How to Live Life on Your Own Terms
Alright everyone, let’s get real for a second. How much of your life do you spend worrying about what other people think? How often do you make decisions based on what society tells you you “should” do, rather than what you actually want to do?
If you’re like most people, the answer is probably “way too fucking much.”
But here’s the thing: Living your life based on other people’s expectations is a surefire recipe for misery. It’s like trying to hit a moving target while blindfolded and disoriented. You’ll never win.
So what’s the alternative? Simple. You need to master the art of not giving a fuck.
The Greatest Source of Our Suffering Are The Lies We Tell Ourselves
The stories you tell yourself have the power to make or break your life. I’m not talking about the little white lies we all tell to get out of an awkward conversation or spare someone’s feelings. No, I’m talking about the deep-seated narratives we cling to that keep us stuck, small, and hurting.

Relationship Matters: Marrying Someone with Large Debt
I have recently gotten engaged. Unfortunately, my partner has a large debt to the tune of over $175k. The majority of it is from student loans from a degree that was not finished. The loans are as follows:
Private loan of $119k, 7.8% interest. Another private loan of $5k with 5% interest, CC of $6600, and a government loan of $45k with var interest.
He is paying $1848 combined on all of these loans, which is as much as he makes in one paycheck… in addition to the rest of our living expenses. $1k of that goes toward the largest loan monthly. I have minimal debt (under 2K), and a credit score of 774.
Is there anything I can do? Have I screwed myself on ever being able to buy a house?
First off, congratulations on your engagement! That’s a big milestone and I’m sure you two are excited about building your life together. But you’re right to be concerned about your partner’s debt situation. $175k is no small amount, especially with those high interest rates.

Dating Matters: “I will be turning 42 in a month. Never had a girlfriend”
I’ve been single all my life. Never had a girlfriend. Never received romantic attention or love from a woman.
For anyone wondering, I am not disfigured or disabled in anyway. I take care of my looks and hygiene. I have a good job, a small but tightly knit group of friends. I have hobbies and interests. I exercise and am in decent shape for my age.
I was single throughout college and university and my 20’s. But I always maintained a positive attitude and an optimistic outlook on life, sincerely believing that things will get better in life and that I will find someone.

The Perfect Partner Does Not Exist
In our quest for love and connection, many of us have been sold a bill of goods. We’ve been told a story, a fairy tale, that somewhere out there is a Perfect Partner who will meet all our needs and erase all our troubles. But here’s the hard truth: the Perfect Partner doesn’t exist, and believing in this myth can do more harm than good.
