Continue being gay, straight or whatever you feel is right for you, just everyone please sneeze into your sleeve this Christmas season like Obama taught us.

That being said, how about we make single photo posts constitute a “low effort” post unless the post is about a specific question that only requires that one photo. I think it would cut down on low effort meme posts and like “here’s my bed” and there’s no real discussion.

Just a thought, tell me what you think. Not married to it but not divorced either.

Finally got all the little things the space was missing. Still debating on art over the bed — can’t settle on something for such a large space. But I kinda dig the look without.

My kid feels bad that her room is full and mine isn't, but I really don't see a problem with it. I've got what I need, plus a few little extras I've picked up along the way. Planning to add a home gym on the mat, probably a bowflex or something when my bonus pays out. Any suggestions for pretty crap to waste my money on, or am I good to go?

What's going on fellas. Never really talked about this before outside of therapy and a couple friends so why not do it here on Reddit

Five years ago, I moved out to California with a girl I was planning to start a family with. Right around the time Covid hit, Everything went south & my trust was really damaged in that relationship. I tried again a few months after and long story short I found out this girl was a whole prostitute, hid it from me for four months. Trust has been annihilated ever since

I've moved probably close to 10 times in the past four years alone, pursuing music and a dream life, it's exhausting. I decided to make a massive leap and move to the completely opposite side of the country to be closer to my family for the first time in 14 years.

Now that I'm here, I just feel like a stranger in the place I grew up at. I've been sober for two years from alcohol and since then I don't really know how to go out and meet women. It was always bars or parties for me.

I honestly just wake up go to the gym work on music or education all day, cook dinner, sleep, and repeat. It's a good life, but fuck it's super lonely, just wanted to share this because I know I'm not the only guy in this situation

If any men that have been in my position before can offer me advice on opening up and potentially learning how to trust again, I'd really appreciate it

Thanks y'all

26M: Help me make my house less boring

Thumbnail

194 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I bought my house two years ago, and honestly, I’ve done the bare minimum to make it feel like home. It’s functional, but it’s definitely missing some personality, especially on the walls. I have no idea where to even start when it comes to decor, so I thought I’d turn to you all for some ideas.

A little about me: I live alone, so it’s just me here, but I have friends over all the time—movie nights, gaming, or just hanging out. I also work from home part of the week, so my space has to do double duty as a chill zone and an office. I’m into gaming, tech, and sports, but I’d love to add something that makes the space feel a little more put together, maybe even a bit impressive. Like, “this guy has his life together” vibes without going overboard, you know? Bonus points if it’s something classy enough to pass the parents’ approval but still gets a nod from my friends (and maybe the occasional date).

I’m sharing pics of my living room, kitchen, entry, and bedroom. Would love any suggestions for wall decor or just general ideas to make the place feel a bit more like home. Thanks!
