No, I don’t know him personally.
Tbf I was also replying partly to some of the posts I had remembered reading before in this thread suggesting that he was somehow reckless and shouldn’t be mourned the same, which is bollocks. Like I said, if every footballer who went 120 kph on deserted roads in their sports cars died, we’d not have enough footballers to keep the sport going.
Yeah not trying to be bitchy I’m not offended or anything lol, if my tone is strong it’s probably just because coronavirus and no football to play (worse than not being able to watch tbf, I might actually get fat at this rate) and married life without being married or wanting to be married ever.

Hahahaha I know that feeling 
My girlfriend is the only person I’ve interacted with for the 16 days apart from a couple of cashiers and our neighbour.
You have the advantage of appearing to actually like yours though.

Yeah, it’s terrible but it’s terrible for everyone so no point complaining to much. Though seeing how this is such a great state of affairs for my gf—no longer has to be jealous, worry about my silenced WhatsApp chats, get mad about me going out and not inviting her, doesn’t even have minor annoyances like arriving late weekday nights after football—and knowing how many like her there are out there, I do wonder about this actually hitting everyone equally as hard.

Yeah I know mate, just fucking about. Being stuck in the house with nobody/just one other person is getting to all of us. I yearn to be in the office just to see some other faces lol

Yeah, I imagine it’s borderline hell. I invited someone to spend a few days at mine last week and it nearly drove me crazy after 2 days. I genuinely couldn’t imagine having to spend near enough 23 hours a day inside with the same person for a prolonged period of time.
I love my own space and I like being left alone so the thought of it… I feel sympathy for those who have to and are struggling.

Yeah I can’t decide which is worse this situation or being completely alone without social contact like many friends of mine. I try not to complain too much cause that other extreme is rough too.
How do you go about inviting someone over for a weekend? I’ve thought about hitting up someone on my bench to pull of a maneuver like that but I don’t even know how I would go about it, can’t exactly invite them out for a dinner or to a club or friends house can I, nor even a walk in the fucking park, basically if you haven’t been with them before the quarantine started there’s no way to advance from girl you’re chatting up —> someone you fuck, as far as I can tell. I guess you just have to be straight up about it but with the ones that are reqlly worth it not likely to work and the ones who arent well its prpbably not worth the risk nor do I think I want to lock myself up in any confined space with a person who I’m not totally sold on and only know from one night out.
I did try inviting this younger girl who I hooked up with drunkenly over with her friend to another friends house who has a big ass isolated basement—dunno, somehow feels appropriate—they were doing coke that night so I figured they were naughty and/or stupid enough to be worth a try, but almost two months later I didn’t get any response, guess the statute of limitations for an invite was up or even the naughty ones aren’t prepared to take any risks. 
This is probably the best time for it cause there’s no actual reason you’re allowed to leave the house so the only option is to come over. But in fairness I’d been speaking to this one via Instagram for a good week before she came down from Birmingham, but it’s pretty easy to get people to come through atm because they know there’s no alternative.
But yeah don’t do it. She drove me insane after one night I nearly lost my mind. Crunching food, watching shit TV shows, breathing too close to me. I was in hell. So it’s not worth it. In times like this if I had to choose I’d stay with someone I know very well rather than someone I don’t know at all.

Fucking start socially isolating! Stop being an irresponsible fucker (literally) by trying to shag your way around South East London. Not even just London, fucking Birmingham!

How long have been you together??
It literally took 4.5 years for my girlfriend to stop getting wound up about me going out without her, hanging with my friends without her, playing video games, work drinks etc.
Women have this weird thing where they think they have the right to change and shape you into whoever they want you to be but not vice versa.
Thankfully we’ve gotten to a better place now and our relationship has matured as we both have which means we’re both a lot happier but it was hard and it did take years.
The one last bug bear that frustrates me is bed time - she wants to be in bed by 10pm but sometimes I want to read, watch Justified/Ozarks/whatever or some PS4 but she just isn’t having it. It’s one of the only things we still regularly row about, and I don’t get it.
I admire your perseverance. Don’t think I’d make it much past a few months if me spending time with my friends and doing things I liked was a big issue haha.

Did you persevere for 5 years because you think all women are like this? They’re not FYI.

You’re talking like it’s some freakish accident though, when it isn’t. He was simply driving way too fast for the road and conditions and paid the ultimate price, taking his family and friend with him. It’s tragic in the same way Icarus is tragic.
Benzema is a dickhead, so he’s hardly someone to use as the barometer. But the Madrid highway will be better maintained than roads in Andalucia

Yeah if I couldn’t have footy day with the boys I’d happily be single.
Honestly, I came close very close to breaking up with her at times haha Very close
But she has a lot of positive traits that outweighed the negative stuff so it was worth it and now she’s finally going out for drinks with her friends, her own work drinks etc. so I think some of it was just her being jealous/having fomo.
@Phoebica - it’s definitely a trait I see in a lot of my friends girlfriend but as I said above I stuck with it because there were other things that were lovely and positive about my girlfriend that made it worth the hassle until we were able to work it out.
I did come close to breaking up with her though, several times.
