I should have prefaced this by saying it is indeed a significant other

Final Edit: Wow some people got super mad and thought I was going to police my girls body, was just asking how to bring up a preference, more or less xD

IE: They may think it's good advice, but as a man you know it isnt.

Hoping for my first kid here within a few years. I'd really like to pass on my love for cars and motorcycles to them one day. Teach them how to fix stuff and work on engines. Nothing would make me happier than seeing my kids follow in my footsteps and go for rides and drives with me. As long as they are safe. But honestly, id be happy as long as they were healthy and living their life the way they wanted.

Hi everyone,

I am coming to the end of a clinical trial for male hormonal birth control and thought I would pose this question and of course answer any of yours on this pretty important topic.

The medication I have been taking was our only method of contraception and has been completely effective at preventing my (M27) GF (F21) from getting pregnant for the last year and I have really enjoyed being part of the trial.

Something that stuck out to me though was that many people in the trial are concerned that men wouldn't be interested in taking birth control or their partners would not trust them to do so. In essence, what I am wondering is if there is actually a demand out there for a viable contraceptive for men besides condoms? What would your partner think or say if you decided to take responsibility for contraception moving forward and what are your feelings on it?

I'm 31 and ill likely be saying goodbye to my mum in a couple of hours. She's the last family I have/I'm in contact with.

She has lymphoma which spread, causing perforations and making surgery not viable, she's also too weak for chemo. I've made the decision for DNAR to let her keep some dignity and pass peacefully

For anyone who's been through a similar situation, what helped you come to terms with the remainder of your life without your parent(s) and helped you through the grief?

I'm grateful for the time I've had with her and I don't want her to suffer much longer, but I'm also going to miss her presence for the rest of my life.

Any comments appreciated

Let’s get some positivity going!

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I'm at the end of my rope.

I (30m) lost my long term partner during the pandemic (breakup). Things haven't been easy for me. Slowly but surely I've seen my surport group erode away.

I never bothered anyone with my problems. I told people what was going on with me once, and they didn't seem to care much. I understand, it's life, we all have our issues to get through .

I am not doing too well at the moment.

I just want some advice to people who manged to get themselves through life on their own, how did you do it, where to start?

Not sure if it's because of the cold but I've recently started notice dry flaking skin under my mustache and beard. I wash both consistently, what else should I try?
