I’m currently sat in a bar in a Disney world resort hotel and couldn’t help but notice this bar advertisement looks ridiculously AI generated. I’m am not a graphic designer or ever been involved in design in any context but can’t help but think this is fake AI generated material, but at Disney, one of the biggest brands on the planet? Would they do that?
I’ve in the process of tapering form mirtazipine to fluoxetine and just noticed drivingto work my left eye seems to be straining and what seems to be double vision. Has anyone any experience with this? Very concerning. I can’t keep swapping these horrendous meds and having to deal with this! 😢
Grew some B+ a few months back and have had these in a sealed container in a drawer. They look to have gone a bit ‘blue’. Are they still ok to take? Did a bit of psychedelic therapy last year for mental health reasons and feel like I’m dipping again so want another trip. Want to know these should still be ok. Any advice appreciated
Bike for sale on eBay. What kind of pointless waste of time effort and words is this conversation?
I’m in the (hopeful) process of having my account unrestricted and my funds £2k+ released. Been selling my record collection and some audio gear over last few years 100% feedback, no issues apart from one.
If/when my account gets reinstated am I likely to have absolutely no exposure and zero views, unless I pay to promote everything? Anyone any experience with accounts bans being lifted and how sales were afterwards? Not sure if I should start another account.
I have been taking mirtazipine 30mg for 5 months. I hate it and am in the process of tapering off. Can I do ayahuasca in the next couple of months?
I bought the wife a Shark LED facemask for her birthday but I’m just thinking it might be good for me and my balding head. I have a full head of hair it’s just thinning at the crown and temples. Has anyone (or their husband) used the face mask on their head and had notable improvements hair density/thickness?
I have been investing sensibly over the last few years and have a good chunk of money in an ISA working well. Thinking of diversifying my investments I want to put some into metals. As a compete novice and not wanting to get scammed am I best to go direct to the royal mint for gold and silver?
Any advice appreciated.
Edited to say I’m in the UK
On my second attempt at mirtazipine, upped to 30mg a couple of months back and it’s making me feel even more ‘numb’ than without them. Been emotionless for many years and collapsed in a heap 18 months ago. Tried mirtazipine and sertraline but really didn’t want to accept defeat. I stopped about 12 months ago and went down a holistic/plant approach which I had notable positives from but keeping up with it was not sustainable. Reverted back to mirtazipine and now I just feel numb 😢 I used to have a sense of humour and was quite funny. I always enjoyed a laugh and now I can’t even bring myself to enjoy anything now.
What can I do? I’m really struggling 😢
Selling a DJ mixer on eBay. There are 12 photos of it from every angle possible and description states fully working with no issues with the working of it. Got this message. I just know no mater what I do that if I send it, an Item
Not As Described will arrive in the first ten minutes of them receiving it 🤣
Ok I know I’m going to get both opinions on this but I really need some sort of head wobble, whichever way it goes… I don’t want ‘just leave her bro’ from the guys but some honest experiences or opinions from married women…
M/40, married 15 years F/41, 2 children 11,9 years old.
Wife, 40 at the time had an ‘emotional affair’ with a guy she met on her 40th birthday girly weekend abroad. The first and only real girls weekend trip she’s ever been on. (I didn’t even know what an emotional affair was until this point!)
I have never had any reason to doubt her and didn’t doubt her going with the girls - our house sale was going through, I’d just bought us a caravan for UK breaks, offer on a much larger home accepted and taking on a huge renovation project together. A big step and commitment to the future, in my eyes…
I knew she was acting weird in the weeks after her girls’ trip but put it down to ‘mid-life crisis’ as she had told me that’s what it was a few times. Turning 40 was a big deal to her and she has a lot of life trauma around family illness and her mum died young. I never pushed her on that and accepted the reason. Something was up, I could feel it for weeks but thought to myself let’s get in the house, get working on it and things will begin to get better. I never checked her phone and when the thoughts did arise, I told myself I was stupid for thinking that – we are moving house, looking at furniture, bathrooms, Pinterest boards etc… We were excited. We’ve been in and out of good/bad bits of our marriage before, but I thought we were doing alright at that point.
4 months on from the girls’ trip and 2 weeks after moving in (we’d also been abroad on holiday as a family during this time) I was using her phone to hotspot Netflix as we’d stripped the house bare at the start of the renovation project, no services WiFi/phone etc. I noticed a very very romantic ‘meme’ received on the Telegram app along with some other lovey dovey words from a female named contact. I didn’t even know she had that app at this point. Telegram is used by people who don’t want other people to know what they’re up to. I obviously showed her this message like WTF? She sighed and said sit down. Bear in mind this is 2 weeks after we’d just moved in to our ‘happily ever after’ home and had ripped it to bits and were renovating.
Long story short it was a man she met on the girls’ holiday, saved as girls name (the classic cheaters way!), and had been in contact with ever since. She claimed it was ‘just conversation’ over and over. So that’s why she was acting up. She has a spiritual nature and believes in manifestation and is interested in the universe and its workings, and it seems he did to. I went through her phone (yes, I invaded her privacy, but cheaters have no right to privacy when caught) and there were regular half hour video chats going on a couple times a week (my wife video chats with no-one, not even audio, it’s all text and voice notes) lots of romantic ‘memes’ being shared and searched out/saved, generally romantic search history, although none of it ever received by me. I did not see a single message or conversation between them other than the last one I found.
Looking through her phone I saw her Insta feed was riddled with things relating to the universe and souls, love vs lust, angel numbers, forbidden love, twin flames, the divine male/female connection type stuff. You know, whatever you interact with the algorithm feeds you more of. Google history filled with searches for ‘101 romantic messages to send to him’, ‘romantic memes’ the universe doesn’t make mistakes, love at first sight, you’ll always be my 11:11 wish etc. Obviously insta feeds you more and more of what you interact with doesn’t it.
I rang him immediately several times with no answer of course. I told him to ring me back and threatened him with everything I had. He did ring me back eventually the next morning. He shit himself and went into hiding for months. Deleted all sign of any digital profile and blocked me from all his profiles. He also went onto his wife’s phone and blocked me from all her profiles and phone number - I later found out after contacting her. Got around that and told his wife. Had a good hour chat. She divorced him. Don’t know if he has previous for this type of stuff. I did find out more about him and told my wife a few negative lies about him to try and make sure she wouldn’t want to go back to contacting him again. Naughty I know but necessary.
She says they never met up after the holiday weekend but has admitted there was ‘almost’ a kiss on the holiday. She says they had a ‘connection’ and there were ‘feelings’ but she feels stupid and cringes when she thinks about it now. She said it felt comfortable and like they knew each other in a previous life. She said she brainwashed herself. What I read honestly looked like they were in love – but we’d literally just moved into our perfect home on the perfect street and started renovating.
I have read/seen/heard nothing of what she ever said to him. All deleted. The only facts I have are she saved some photos of him and one of him blowing her a kiss, and what looked like screenshots from video chats. These were in a ‘deleted’ folder when it all came out. She said she had saved them after a previous attempt to cut it off prior to me finding out, which obviously failed, because she wanted to remember him at that point.
She immediately cut him off when I found out – I think. There are no reasons for me to think otherwise. She has changed her number. Deleted Telegram. Still has FB and IG but nobody can send her messages unless they are friends. Profiles private and locked down.
I have been on my arse with depression for a eile up and down, for years, (part of the reason for the affair I know) and am struggling again now. I can’t help but be reminded every day, near 11:11, romantic songs or lyrics on the radio, TV shows or stories. I couldn’t even pick a ‘soul mate’ or ‘true love’ Valentine’s card up. I stop myself sending good morning gorgeous texts. I’m putting a block between us I know I am, but yet I don’t want that block to be there. She’s working her arse off on the marriage I know she is.
Half of me thinks I’ll never get over the fact my wife ‘fell in love’ with someone else and I’m ruining my own self for the sake of saving the family unit and everything I’ve worked for, for all of us. I’m absolutely battering my own head with thoughts of how she feels about this person and I’m an idiot for forgiving her and being what my wife settled for/second best to her soul mate, twin flame etc.
The other half of me thinks just forget it and crack on with the rebirth of the marriage. She didn’t leave, she’s here with me and is obviously sorry for her mistake. Be the best man and husband you can be to her and forgive that shit.
When I think back about the conversations we’ve had about it she never broke down crying unapologetically she was just kind of angry/pissed off and even now when I bring it up to try and ‘heal’ her immediate response is to get angry.
Just need some opinions from women on what this means, based on this version of events. Is the mid-life crisis/perimenopause really the cause of this? Was it all bullshit or real? Does hitting 40 really mess you up that bad? Or am I fool for staying in the marriage and believing it wasn’t anything ‘serious’?
Ok I know I’m going to get both opinions on this but I really need some sort of head wobble, whichever way it goes… I don’t want ‘just leave her bro’ from the guys but some honest experiences or opinions from people who have been betrayed in a similar way… I also appreciate this may be in no way comparable to some of the things others have been through.

I can’t move past the fact that I’ll never know everything. It’s like the purity of the marriage is gone and it can’t be repaired.
