Thank you both for what you do, and how you treat people. I’ve sadly had to call for help when my boyfriend attempted suicide- twice. And both times some truly callous EMTs showed up. It made a terrifying situation so much worse. :( I’m so glad to know there are kind folks out there too.

He has done both, but it never seems to stick.

Cargo sweat pants!?

Like others have said, don’t beat yourself up too much. But I’d try to steer things back towards a professional /platonic relationship while you still can. Having been in a similar (but different) situation I can tell you that the odds are very good that everyone will end hurt. Look out for yourself and your…

I feel terrible complaining about this... my SO suffers from depression and self mediates in the worst way. I love him, but the past few weeks have been really tough. My heart hurts for both of us right now, and I’m just not sure what to do anymore. :’(

I’m so, so sorry for your loss. I don’t have any great advice to give, but as someone currently in a relationship with an addict I understand how you feel. Know that sometimes there just isn’t anything you can do, and looking out for your own health (mental and physical) is always ok. Hugs to you and your husband.

Not weird at all. This weekend has been so miserable for me at home, that I actually said out loud this morning “I’d rather be at work”.

I don’t have quite the level of weirdness as you in my home (no mannequin art, fingers or otherwise) but definitely have some quirky things. I find it much more interesting than just some standard prints hanging around. Not everyone’s style of course, but to each their own. :)

This is both terrifying and fascinating! Not sure I could handle it in my bedroom, but it sure would be neat to look at.

Congratulations on your sobriety! What a wonderful accomplishment!! Kudos to you! :)

I’m so so sorry. I know how this feels and it’s guy wrenching. So many hugs to you.

So was twitter also outraged over Michael Phelps laughing during the national anthem? Seems that would be more offensive than not putting your hand over your heart...

I’m so, so sorry. Cancer is such an asshole. :( I lost my dear old lady last year, and she was spoiled rotten towards the end. It didn’t make the inevitable hurt any less, but at least it made my heart a little happier to give her whatever she wanted for a little while. Hugs to you and your sweet puppers. <3

I’m so sorry. I know how much it hurts to lose a beloved pet. I hope all the good memories will bring you comfort someday soon.

so, so sorry. Hugs to you and your puppy.

Guinea pigs are a good pet for a little one. They’re usually pretty docile and easy to handle. Plus they make the best noises!! :)

I’m so, so sorry about you kitty. It’s the hardest part about loving them so much... they leave us way too soon.

One of my favourite memories was the last time my dear old dog was able to go hiking with me. She was 15 at the time, and watching her merrily trot along at her old lady pace was so sweet... she was just as happy as could be. Like me, she loved being in the mountains more than anything- and although she lived to the…

No, it doesn’t sound terrible. I know just how you feel. The weight of knowing that you guys are really the only advocate for your dog, and that even doing everything you can, you still may have to make a heart breaking decision for him, is a heavy load to carry. It’s so hard having dogs like this, because they do…
