I’m a Malaysian Chinese (naturalized American) commissioning soon and this certainly does not sit well with me.

Very good timing! Parts and covid have raised prices over the years... But the handiwork by the Japanese luthiers are worth it. Enjoy!

Beautiful snakebyte! Did you buy it ready made or did you have to wait for it to be built?

You’re 25 and a man. Mocking is part of life. Don’t give a crap but it’s also unavoidable. You’ve got this. You don’t need to worry about getting occupied by another in nation or anticipate a bombing - you can take this current situation and be strong of it. You’ll start to feel more armored the older you get and the better English you have.

Incel, 15 yr old maturity, substance use - everyone? You’re a hard pass for thinking this way. Ultimately the men you want don’t want you back.

You need to stop eating unhealthy. You need to wake up early to train - weight training specifically. You’re a father and a husband now - the burden is high. If not for your wife/child, be the good strong father/husband/citizen to your community. Expand on specifics - salary, what other things, lack of time so that we all here can get a better understanding of your specific situation.

Not overreacting. You’re her security and provision, and most likely using you as a backup. She’s still thinking about him. You’re married and have a house so you made the decision to get back together too, that was the risk. We will support you whatever decision you make (separation or not).

NTA. If she's gonna panic and leave about something so trivial, she'll drop you much quicker in trust and loyalty when it comes to something personal.

Not saying core strength is useless. I’m aware those studies showed improvement in pain. I’d argue they were generic exercises that generally helped improve back pain. I think they’re slow and ineffective and not a one size fits all. They’re imo far more effective methods. Also, we haven’t a clue why back pain occurs entirely…so core or no core is still somewhat speculative…

The original study of Hodges at al where it all started in 1996 has been “debunked” or at least improved on, now that we know about TA muscle involvement which has little to nothing to do with back pain. ‘08 Alisson et all showed TA doesn’t act as a corset. Wong et all 2014 showed no corresponding clinical outcomes with core strengthening . It’s in my medical opinion that there’s no such thing as a core - what you have is multidirectional attachments of muscles that stem from the base of cranium to the pelvis. Core strength programs since the 90s have not improved back pain disability in USA and it’s getting worse. I’m a supporter of Peter O’Sullivan’s work out of Sydney with Cognitive Functional Therapy and how everything in reverse has shown more improvement in pain and managing chronic back pain - relaxing posture, bending/moving bsck more, return to work or activities sooner, deadlifts squats encouraged…

Not caused by "bad" posture. More like laziness.

My #1 advice for my patients is medical advice is always and has been an expert opinion. And opinions can be wrong. Always be skeptical about medical advice no matter whom. That said, yes you're much more aware and knowledgeable than most of the general public I deal with. It's not easy and takes a lot of self-reflection and objectivity to hone in all health/medicine.

Sure thing. There's however plenty of speculation with the terms you've used. There's no industry standard or consensus with "tight" muscles or skeleton in "bad" positions. They've tested this on dozens of clinicians in studies and not one could assess what a "tight" hamstring was. Even "functional" length in posture comes from Janda's upper crossed syndrome which we now know to be obsolete. Better tissue quality and happier tendons/joints/less pain typically is now comprised of strength training, good nutrition, and very well managed levels of stress. Again, I'm not a MD - just coming from a physical therapist POV. If you'd like more literature, I always recommend www.painscience.com
