Thread 'My life with Knee Pain'

Thread 'My life with Knee Pain'

My knees have been a constant problem for as long as I can remember. They aren’t like most people’s knees. The kneecaps don’t have a natural resting point because the bone groove that should guide and hold them in place simply isn’t there.

Thread 'What is Andy's Man Club?'

Thread 'What is Andy's Man Club?'

I never thought I’d be in a group of men discussing my emotions. Honestly, the concept would have bothered me about three months ago. Like countless others, I was brought up with the belief that to be male was to be quiet, get on with things and handle the hardships of life on your own. But that silence was consuming me from the inside out. Two months back, I followed my heart and stepped into Andy's Man Club with no idea what lay ahead of me and not even knowing if I'd be able to say...

I agree with you, as love within a relationship would be a shared connection as well as being a type of process.
