Yeah they can scratch, but unlike metal, they can petina and then you can't even see the damage. I typically stay away from wooden bands though because the links rub together and are fragile.

They're also lighter and more comfortable to me, plus more eye catching. Definitely not for people that prefer watches they can beat up though. What kind of watches do you prefer?

 

So I do have my own watch collection of swatches and various brands, but I noticed no one really posts anything about wooden watches. I've been pretty big on them the past couple of years and have 5, but I usually see more classic/staple watch posts on Reddit and now Lemmy (Reddit is dead to me).

What's your opinion; are you for or against wood Timepieces and why?

Well yeah, being abused sucks lol. Doesn't mean all relationships are bad. I'm married now to my best friend and I'm happier than I ever was when I was single. Best I can say is to always stay true to yourself; learn to be happy by yourself first, then find someone to compliment your happiness. Also, COMMUNICATION IS KEY

I haven't found a history of upvotes and I think it's a great feature to add. Yes you can save posts, but I like to bookmark specific posts to share with my partner while still being able to upvote what I like+revisit them later.

It starts off with small, benign things that are too small to make a big deal out of. Maybe I am an idiot for forgetting to do the dishes? Then they don't like your friends, your family is too judgemental and you need to respect whatever they say because your partner takes priority, how dare you not be completely committed to your partner?

I didn't really know what gaslighting truly was until I was already in too deep, but it involves eroding a person's self esteem, debasing their values and constantly putting someone down so they're constantly trying to think of anything they can do to keep their partner happy because that's what a good partner does. I think the tipping point when I started to question my relationship was when she punched me in my face on my birthday, kicked me out of the car and had to walk home 2 miles at 1am; I think I stayed in the relationship probably another 1-2 years after that because that's how effective it can be.

Oh and FYI they'll never actually take their mask off. Once I finally caught them red handed cheating on me, her mask "slipped" and she smiled for just a quick second. Then she doubled down and tried to say she can't live without me, its not what it looks like, and trying to seduce me, anything to sell the lie and never ever admitted the truth.
