What do C, T, and F mean for phone numbers?
Main Post:
For example: First Last | C. XXX-XXXX T. XXX.XXXX F. XXX.XXXX
I assume it's something like cell, telephone and fax. Not sure though.
Top Comment: Yes. Cell, telephone, and fax are exactly right.
No contact with ex-girlfriend [25 F] for three months. Should I [26 M] wish her a happy birthday?
Main Post:
I feel a bit silly asking advice on this but somehow it has been hunting me for the last few days.
About 4 months ago my girlfriend of 6 years broke up with me. This happen out of the blue, for no apparent reason and she argued she needed to be alone and our relationship wasn't working. I've tried to change her mind for a while but then I realized that there's no point in forcing a relationship where one of the parts isn't 100% happy.
She wanted us to carry on being friends but I decided that no contact was the best approach as I was (still am) suffering a lot so I haven't spoken to her since she moved out of our flat 3 months ago. Even though she made me suffer and played with my emotions a bit, I still love her and miss her.
Now her birthday is coming up on the next few days and being a date that used to important for both of us I wonder whether I should text her and wish her a happy birthday and maybe take the opportunity to let her know that I still miss her a lot - who knows if she still feel the same...
So, on one hand it feels weird if I don't at least text her as she's been the most important person of my life for the last 6 years but on the other hand I want to let it go and move one and I know that contacting her wouldn't be the best way to let that happen.
tl;dr: She broke up with me after a 6 year relationship. Now I'm trying to avoid contact but I feel like I should wish her a happy birthday and let her know I still have a lot of feelings for her.
Many thanks for reading, ATMP

F*ck contact damage
Main Post:
Im so done with it, countless times I died on The Hollow Knight or many other bosses because of it. Hollow Knight literally falls on his knees and it fucking kills me, where is the logic in that?
Top Comment: Contact damage is needed cause you can't just walk through a boss lmao
M/36 F/29 - lack of physical contact is wearing me down. Advice?
Main Post:
I [m/36] am HL. Wife [f/29] is LL. No kids yet. So I'll keep it brief. My wife feels that I'm constantly trying to have physical contact. I am. She's LL and I'm HL. We realize there is a mismatch here but are doing our best. I'm trying to be better about not touching constantly. But it seems like she's not trying.
Sex has dropped to maybe once every two-foir weeks. Even then half the time it feels like maintenance sex, which really isn't fun for me. I'm always the one initiating. I try to do sweet things for her and help her feel less stress but it seems that it's all one sided.
I feel like our love life has taken a back seat to everything else (work, etc). Can't remember last time she initiated. Can't think of last time she tried to be romantic. Can't think of the last time she made me feel desired. Each time I try I get shot down.
As I said, I try to do lots of nice things to help her out like chores and cooking, but it really feels like none of this helps.
I know no cheating is happening but I feel this isn't sustainable either.
tl;dr - getting resentful that wife isn't receptive or physical. Feeling undesirable.

ok first of all, unless she's a full-time homemaker, that stuff is not "helping her" that's just the shit you're supposed to do when you have a house and a partner.
(24/f) He (21/m) never initiates contact or dates but always replies.
Main Post:
First time poster. We met three weeks ago online, and have been texting each other fairly constantly since then. We've gone on three dates and have a fourth planned.
When we are out on dates, we never run out of things to talk about and have lots of fun. We hold hands. When we're playing a game or something, I can almost feel him struggling to contain himself lol.
I can't help but worry about some things though. Number one-- he never texts me first even when I know he has something to talk about, like a poker game he's in or something like that. I waited for like six hours while I was out with friends wondering if he'd text me, and he just didn't until I messaged him about it. Number two-- he doesn't plan dates. I said that the next date was up to him, and waited for several days, then finally asked him about his schedule and asked him out again. And the major concern--he used to be a big flirt but then abruptly stopped after we had sex. The most I see now is an occasional compliment.
I'm wondering how I can tell if he's seriously interested for the long run, or is just having fun while another woman is also giving him attention.
I like that it's going slow, but I feel like it isn't moving at all sometimes.

Some guys don't recognize how often they're expected to text or reply because the expectation was never set. Some guys don't have the realization that they always react, but never act. Some guys are simply busy. And some guys don't care enough or are too lazy to initiate.
How well do you know this guy to put him into one of those categories? If that level of communication is something you need, then communicate it to him. If you have already given him signs that he needs to step up, and he isn't doing so, then he needs to realize that he's not being a communicative partner.
Three weeks isn't a very long time for you two. Given that he is this blasé this early, he's either not really serious or losing interest.
