The 1900s!? 😂 That is simultaneously the funniest and most painful thing I have read today.

My partner did this for me early in our relationship, they actually fed me and all of my overnight coworkers with a homemade meal. We have been married for more than a decade and I still tear up thinking about this memory.

This video pops up every once in a while...I'm pretty sure it was claimed to be fake, but as I remember there wasn't much detail other than the video itself.

A couple people at work use the white/black emojis instead of the yellow. I don't know why, but it always seems weird to me that you took the extra time to select your race.

There is actually a "show NSFW content" toggle on your user settings. Just click the pancake stack in the top corner of the page, expand the arrow next to your username, then click the settings gear.

Also your username is spot on for your comment!

Among all the depressing shit going on, thanks for having a great name that actually made me laugh during my soom scrolling!

I don't know anything about your life or situation so please take this with a massive grain of salt.

Your grandpa may be a victim of a time when men were absolutely not allowed to have mental health struggles.

Seriously, I know some of us can't even fathom that, but it simply wasn't allowed.

There was no understanding, there was no conversation, and if you attempted to discuss the subject you would be met with very abrasive and inaccurate advice that is the equivalent of "suck it up" or "anxiety and depression are made up" as I am sure you have seen a lot of this still exists today.

I know this isn't advice on how to repair or improve the relationship, but it might give you some small insight as to why he may be reacting this way. We may not be able to fix the older generations (not that we should give up), but if we keep normalizing talking about our struggles maybe the next generation will be healthier than us. It's a small move, but in my life so far I feel like I have seen changes I never would have thought possible in adult men mental health.
