If you had to marry your SO where you first met, where would your wedding be?

It’d be in a car in my driveway because we went on a car date. 🤍 I think it’s sweet when people do marry where they first met.

A church is giving a free piano but asks for a donation. They say the piano is never used and works great. How much should I give?

Note that I am using my credit card to do the donation because money is tight. Am just embarassed to give too little.

We haven’t been intimate since I was pregnant, we are both shattered, if I sprung sex on my other half I know he would reciprocate but honestly I’d rather take a solid nights sleep.

Do you feel like you’re settling with your current partner?

In any way…a deep way, like you’re deeply incompatible but you’re just staying for whatever reason. Or in a more shallow way, like they don’t make enough money/not attracted to them anymore & you could do better.

I want attention from other men besides my bf.

My boyfriend checks out other women, he’s done it when I’m there before not so much now but probably still does. Not to mention he was looking at porn and sports illustrated and I look nothing like that kind of body. He always wants to have sex and says he finds me attractive but now I’m completely turned off and do...
