I’m going on my first trail ride of 2026. My instructor’s fiancee won’t be around that day, so she’s taking me, her friend, and one of her younger students on a trail ride.

We intend to be out for 2 hours, but may make the ride longer if we collectively want to lol. I’ll be riding the horse named Ginger and I’m stoked. She’s so fun to ride and is so pretty.

    Bed athletics while the kids are downstairs, watching morning cartoons. Then, full day for me, driving the kids to their sports clubs while the Mrs is working on her upskilling certs. Then early bedtime because Sunday is my long run day.

    My wife managed to get an appointment for an MRI on Saturday morning, so we’ll be driving into the city for that on Valentine’s Day.

    She’ll be in there, and I’ll be sitting in the car with the service-dog-in-training, Leo. Someday I would expect him to go in with her, but he’s not ready yet.

    Then we’ll come home and she’ll fall asleep while I watch movies.

    I confessed to my situationship of almost 2 years that I had feelings the other day, she didn’t feel the same way. So probably not doing anything fun, all my close friends are in relationships and have plans for V-Day.

    Probably journaling and watching YouTube all day unfortunately. It’s been a rough week.

    However, I hope you enjoy your trail ride! What got you into horse riding?

      The fact you confessed is a lot more than other guys in your position. Be proud you made yourself vulnerable and bring that confidence to the next person you are attracted to. You’ve got this king! 👑

        Thank you for the kind words!

        Despite how empty I feel, I am still proud of myself for finally getting that off my chest. I was wanting to ask for months, but held off because I was scared it wouldn’t work out. As soon as I asked her, I felt like a pallet of bricks was lifted off my shoulders.

      I’m sorry to hear you’re having a rough time and I hope things improve for you!

      Thank you! I grew up with horses, so I’ve always been into it. I had a ten year break starting when I was 16 before getting back into the whole equestrian thing as an adult. Been back at it for almost two years now and I actually just got official ownership the mare I’ve been rehabbing for like a year and a half. Hoping she’ll be saddle ready in the spring lol

    Avoiding anything valentiney. I’m happily married, she just has bad memories of the day and we both hate crowds and are cheap asses. We’d rather celebrate our relationship a month later on the anniversary of our first date
