Use this place to say your stuff out loud you worry others might not understand or appreciate. And take it easy on yourself. Best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it’s worth I feel like I would also try and adopt a pragmatic state of mind for the first few weeks - whether that proves to be the case I don’t know. How I’d be after that initial time I have no particular idea. As has been said, there’s no correct way, just however you have to be to suit you. All the best at this sad time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didnt ask for their consent as such if we got chatting to a woman and you felt time was dight you would go for the kill. If the women didnt want to kiss you she was pull back. I appreciate this is obviously a complete different situation from pulling a woman on a night out. im just saying you dont "ask a woman for a kiss" you just go for it when you feel that chemistry. This guys obviously got too excited and acted unprofessionally. If she is deeply upset about it then he has to go as its setting a bad example. Did you ever go on the pull with this guy? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was no one really asks for "consent" when going for a kiss unless you want to come across awkward and cringe. This guys obviously got excited acted unprofessionally and instead of Spain celebrating the womens victory you have this shit dominating the headlines. I feel sorry for the women as they should be celebrating not having to deal with this negative shit over shadowing their victory. Guys ruined it for them.

Should they stop to ask your consent first or just assume you'd lean away if you didnt want it? If they hadn't grabbed your head to hold you still first of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems odd he would try and be a creep in front of a crowd of 1000's. My mate used to lick girls necks in nightclubs. He had surprising success with this method. Today’s world would judge him for more harshly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 This story is going and going. Now player is being labelled a liar and their FA is threatening legal action. Quote The Spanish football federation says it will take legal action over Jenni Hermoso's comments about its president Luis Rubiales. Rubiales has refused to resign after kissing forward Hermoso on the lips following Spain's Women's World Cup final win over England in Sydney. Hermoso said on Friday she did not consent, but the federation has questioned her version of events. "The evidence is conclusive," it said. "Mr President has not lied." In a statement by players' union Futpro, which is representing 33-year-old Hermoso, she is quoted as saying "in no case did I seek to raise (lift) the president" while they embraced on the podium. The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) said: "The RFEF and Mr President will demonstrate each of the lies that are spread either by someone on behalf of the player or, if applicable, by the player herself. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost my old mum two years ago and I was amazed at how my brother and sister and I all grieved in such very different ways. All of them were legitimate though. Take your time, talk if you want to talk. Get therapy if you think it’ll help (it’s the only thing that got me through it). Mostly, be kind to yourself. So sorry for your loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
