The Marriage Of Figaro Puns

Does anybody know any? Thank you

Did he want to write THE prequel to Figaro? Was Il barbiere marketed as such? Was Figaro even performed in Italy at the time?

And what about Paisiello's Barbiere?

I already asked this question once, but I figure since it's music week I'll give it another try.

Man: Can’t say that I do.

Therapist: Exactly. That’s the main one.

#Mini Should I Farm That - Figaro Castle Exploration (FFVI MK week 2), Scorn of the Octopus and Teacher, Madam's Mansion Level 3, and Summer 2019 units AKA No New Events Edition.

So last year Gumi released the summer units on the very last day of summer. This year they are doing it much earlier and released it... at the end of spring. The banner doesn't even overlap with summer at all. I'm sure some of you will point out that the astronomical definition of summer doesn't perfectly align with cultural ones but let's not forget this is a global game. With so many cultural variations for the definition of summer, we need to rely on an internationally recognized standard. So summer starts on June 21. Or December 21 if you are in the southern hemisphere, but clearly Gumi cares even less about you than the rest of us.

So for the sake of true global inclusiveness and ensuring consistency for all three "summer" banners we've had, I hereby rename this banner as:

>"The banner that overlaps with the period within 3 months of the solstice in closest temporal proximity to Earth's aphelion. It should also be noted that the although the aphelion occurs close to the solstice associated with the northern hemisphere's summer, it is only a temporary association as precession causes the sidereal year to be about 20 minutes longer than the synodic one. Thus this definition is only valid for about 7000 years and plans should be made accordingly."

I'm sure we can all agree that the new event name will be far less confusing for everyone.

Time to SIFT through this week's loot!

##FFVI week 2 exploration

Soul Sabre (FFVI)
[sword]: 109 ATK, 2H (1.3-1.7x dmg var, +50% acc), Bewitching Demon Blade => +10% physical evade

This is the second and by far superior 2H sword in GL. The only other non-STMR is Angel Slayer which is the exact opposite of Fixed Dice: really high ATK (180) but super shitty variance (0.01-1.1x) making your damage shit. This will likely be BiS on A Fryevia and Kurasame if you don't have their STMRs. Other TDH units that prefer other weapons might still want this depending on your other gear (specifically having better materias with sword conditions than their preferred weapon).

Looking at JP the only other 2H sword we are expecting is CG Firion's TMR (135 ATK, HP heal with 25% of damage from physical attacks

My title is pretty much what this whole situation boils down too. However, I need give the context for this whole thing.

​

Back over 13 years ago my older brother married his wife. The two of them were high school sweethearts and got married after he graduated college. They immediately wanted kids. But after almost 2 years of trying they realized something. After that it was revealed that my brother suffered from a extremely rare genetic defect that left him almost entirely infertile. According to the doctors there was less than a .1% chance of him ever fathering offspring.

I come a very tight knit family. Even today almost all of my extended family live in the same town and see each other on a monthly basis. Because of this we all heard this news almost immediately. All of my sibling who had married at this point already had kids and a big part of my families religious views were based on children so the pressure was already pretty heavy on them when the news hit.

​

My brother and his wife did not take this news well. Over the next year the two of them tried their hardest to have that .1% baby. They sunk over 50k into "fertility treatments" and over medical shams that never resulted in anything. Their marriage was falling apart by the day and it soon became clear that the both of them only ever did this to have kids.

​

This is where i come in. It was almost a year after he had received the news that I caught my sister-in-law crying alone at a family event. I sat and talked with her for over an hour about this whole nightmare. At the time I was just getting over my fiance cheating on me so we both had a lot to say about marriage. From this we started talking to each other a lot. And one thing led to another and we started having sex. I was a young stupid college kid at the time and she was desperate for anything so neither of us used protection, and she got pregnant.

​

My sister in law decided to tell him about her pregnancy while eliminating the fact of me and her, And he was ecstatic. It was if overnight their marriage repaired itself and the two of them were as happy as ever. And 9 months later they were "blessed" with not one but two sons. My whole family called them miracle children and that my brother and his wife were blessed. Me and my sister in law made an agreement to never tell a soul and take this with us to our graves. My brother was the happiest he had been in years and they both finally were happy. They had finally had the childr

So I (20yo M) proposed to my (19yo F) partner in December and she said yes. Most people would have waiting until the age of like 25 to propose and then wait an extra 1 or 2 years to get married. What are some reasons for waiting to get married after the proposal?

Hi! I just wanna thank you guys for sharing your moments with your SO:) It made my day and others as well. Hope you guys do well and wish you happiness for the years to come :)

Edit: Also thank you for my first silver and gold awards!

There is no way in which being gay affects anyone else. The argument about them having a higher percent of HIV diagnoses is not a good one as the actual cause of this is the lack of anti viral protections within the anus

I reddit often but needed to make an account different from my main. My marriage is seriously on the rocks and although I've browsed here before I never thought I'd have to post one day, but here we are.

I'm 36M and my wife is 28F. Been married for 4 years, together for 6, and have a one year old daughter who is the light of my life. My wife is an amazing mother and partner. My own mother on the other hand is absolutely ridiculous and my wife has made me realize over time that my relationship with her is not healthy. My mom tries to control everything, including our wedding (which I convinced my wife to suck it up and go with my mom's ideas--she is still resentful of me for it). Passive aggressive behavior on my mother's part basically since we started dating has made my wife absolutely hate her. I'll admit I haven't been as firm with my mom as I should have been in the past.

This brings us to yesterday. Our wedding anniversary was last night. We're a little tight on money right now, being new parents and our jobs are not fantastic. So I suggested that a family friend watch our daughter, I buy us a nice bottle of wine, and we cook dinner and just relax. I could tell my wife was disappointed that we couldn't do anything bigger or better but she agreed this was the best choice, and we settled to both be home from work at 6 PM. I was headed home from work when I got a call from my mother asking me to come over because it was an "emergency". I asked her what type of emergency it was and she just started crying frantically and begging me to come over. It was already 5:30 PM but I live in a low volume traffic area so I figured I would stop by and calm my mom down before I met my wife. When I got to my mother's house she was literally sitting on the couch having a glass of wine and watching TV. I was livid. She was so calm too, not the frantic monster I was speaking to on the phone. I started pressing about what the emergency was and reminded her that this was the night of my wedding anniversary and she said she had some house tasks for me to do that, in my opinion, she was 100% capable of doing herself. Things like washing the dishes, watering her houseplants, cleaning the gutters, etc. So definitely not emergency material. But she guilted me into doing them (she was literally screaming to me at one point that I was a bad son) and I texted my wife letting her know that I was going to be late because I was at my mom's house. She didn't respond to my text.

Befo

No wonder my self esteem is shit.

Salam alaikum brothers and sisters,

I am still in disbelief as I write this. My 3 year marriage with my husband is now beyond repair. I would like to provide some background to the story. My husband and I both met while undergrads through our universities Muslim student organization. We had similar life goals, deen, and clicked very well. I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him and shortly after graduation he approached his parents and arranged a meeting with mines. My parents were very impressed with him, he came from a respectable family, and our families found lots of common ground. Eventually we got engaged. I was so in love, and everything was going well for me alhumdulilah.

We had our nikah and a relatively small wedding after he found a job a couple of states away, and I would be moving together with him. I decided not to pursue a career and wanted to focus on having a family. We lived our lives very well, alhumdulilah no issues with any in laws, and just the normal disagreements couples have. But now this is where the problems begin. A few months ago my husband stopped being intimate with me (he used to initiate very often) he said it is because he was stressed from work. Another small thing I noticed was that he put a password on his phone and laptop. He works in IT and takes his laptop to the office often and claimed it was for security, but he never shared anything with me. I admit what I did next was wrong, and think is something I will probably never forget :( but last night while he was asleep I unlocked his phone using his fingerprint, and looking at his phone I discovered he had a homosexual dating app installed on his phone, I clicked on it and saw he arranged meetings with several men already, and who knows how long he was using that app because I exited the app, closed his phone and went to the bathroom and cried for half an hour, I went back to bed and honestly couldn't comprehend what happened. I stayed up prayed fajr, went to sleep, and upon waking up I called a Muslim friend from town and asked if I could come visit today. I am at her home writing this as she prepares dinner. I already had to excuse myself and cry in her bathroom and am not in a good state as things are starting to finally hit me. My friend has noticed something might be wrong, but I haven't told her anything. I know my marriage is going to end, but I'm really afraid. I'm afraid of what will happen to me, or how my families reputation will be destroy

Hey Reddit. I've done this a few times in the past, and thought Valentine's day would be a great opportunity to come back and answer your relationship questions again!

I've traveled the country interviewing the most madly-in-love couples in the United States, I've interviewed (and been trained by) some of the top marriage experts in the world. (Here's the interview I did with Drs. John and Julie Gottman a few months ago.)

If you want 5 free dates sent to your inbox over the next 5 weeks, you can get those here. Each date includes activities, links to cool products, conversation-starters, and treats you can order so you can plan an awesome date night with your lover.

The second iteration of my new project is called the Epic Wives Experiment. I've noticed an upsettingly high number of wives who feel regularly stressed out, overwhelmed, or on the verge of burn-out. Many of them are even feeling lonely and growing resentful of their marriage.

That's not what anyone signs up for when they get married! So my friend (and Certified Gottman Therapist) Laura Heck and I put our heads together and designed 30-day series of experiments to help wives get more connection, support, fun, and security in their relationship.

If you want more deets, check it out here. (The next round starts on Monday!)

Hit me up with any questions you have about marriage/relationships, pick my brain on ideas for Valentines day. I'm ready for you! Proof: Hiiiii
