You want something that goes over the cable in such a way that the place where it's fraying is at the middle of it - this will prevent strain at the place where it usually breaks, and it helps prolong cable life.
Depending on how your cable looks, there's also stuff like this - https://a.co/d/03evZaAQ . They're called "connector boots" . The top ones here look like they'd be perfect for your round cable, maybe? https://www.mcmaster.com/products/cable-strain-relief/strain-relief-connector-boots-2~/

Minithra LinkIt looks like the fraying is at the connectors, why not try a strain relief? I'm guessing you need it relatively flexible, since it did strain there, so something like a heat shrink wrap? Edit:...It looks like the fraying is at the connectors, why not try a strain relief?

Edit: that would allow you to keep using the brand and model you're used to

This time I even managed to lock in and I finished the main quest! Now just a ton of other content and DLC stuff to do! Also Sim Settlements 2, I'm barely into chapter 2 of it... it's very fun

Admittedly my experience in dating is limited and by the time it got to hands under clothes it was an expected progression of an extended makeout session (and usually not initiated by me), but it doesn't seem weird? It got heated, she said no and it was immediately accepted?

Most years I'm at the pc, enjoying a game or reading. A few years ago family visited, it was nice but I was also relieved when I had another week on my own after they left before work started again.

Salt got added after in the bowl, and it popped most of them - some user skill required in knowing when to take it off the stove.
These days I just microwave it because I'm lazy and as I prefer just plain salt, I don't really notice a difference :D
Something I really want to see in person one day is those pressure vessel popcorn makers, they look awesome

I guess the very first question is: do you want to repair the relationship? And what does that mean for you and your partner? Does your partner want to repair the relationship? Are they also of the opinion that it's not going so well? From what you mentioned that might be a very difficult conversation to start :(

It came out later that he was abusive towards her and their child... I never really found out if anyone else in the family knew and didn't or couldn't help. I do remember that there was a long drawn out process and the child lived with us for a couple of years, and my sister moved in with us as well after.
I was too young at the time to do much more than offer homework help, but I'm happy our parents had the ability to offer that.
I really hope the situation isn't that bad in your case, OP, and that you can resolve things with your partner in a less traumatic way.

The photos not reflecting the actual time really throws me. Obviously it's not easy to get photos for each hour, but having a sunny day when it was 3 AM got me to 9/10 >.>
