Well, for those reasons I would be inclined to agree with the 'Men Going Their Own Way' if their philosophies didn't so frequently overlap with MRA and woman-hating beliefs and attitudes. I had a very bad model of marriage from my parents and would personally never want to get my finances mixed...

I for one don't seek to ruin men materially or financially, just emotionally. ;)

Have you ever heard of a prenup?

The immediate sense that I was talking to a misogynistic sociopath. Now that I know that you're a self-righteous MGTOW who spends his life on the tinnitus support forum? Never.

Thanks John!! : )

Oh my god this explains everything.

It mostly ranged between 80-92 max but wasn't consistent, and my earplugs were -33db, which is why I assumed I'd be ok.

teeheehee.

Also, thank you for having some kind words! :)

Perfect.

Aw! Haha, yes, the middle ground is what I'm striving to find! Used to perform consistently, had a band, had the time of my life, then got depressed and self-defeating and I'm trying to get out of that funk! I've been doing stand up comedy open mics since they tend to be a little quieter than...

You're so right, that's my takeaway too. In fact I think I avoid socializing altogether now because I have such a hard time setting boundaries and saying no or just walking out of a room - and my ears pay the price in these situations. I was trying to be more social and quickly remembered how...

"I confess that if, after being told about the risk, you continue taking the risk and then live to regret it, that outcome will make me almost as happy as the outcome of me preventing another person from developing debilitating tinnitus." So.... you're evil? Keep in mind, I am, again, talking...

It seems like you enjoy using this forum as a way to bully/scare people who are already feeling vulnerable. Not sure what kind of a person gets off on that but sounds to me like much larger problems than just tinnitus.

Well thanks for the comforting shoulder to cry on. I hardly think going to an open mic for an hour on a Sunday and bringing earplugs with me constitutes being 'reckless' and luckily it's only a slight increase in hissing in the left ear that I will have to 'live with for the rest of my life.'...

I'm so annoyed. Last night I went to meet up with someone for a date at an open mic and on the way it re-occurred to me why I don't date/socialize/go out hardly at all any more --- because there's always the chance of a tinnitus spike. I used to play music myself and don't any more for this...

I'm so sick of this society where everything is cranked up unnecessarily loudly. I've basically turned into a complete homebody both because I'm an introvert and because of my tinnitus -- and what with the only places I go being home, stores, and the gym, I rarely think about the chance of a...
