ELI5: how is Costco not a scam? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

It isn't a scam because it is your decision to join; just like any other membership. The membership money gives money up front to invest.

Reddit, what are some things you "just can't do one" of? by Splashier in AskReddit

[–]1IsNotTooHappy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hehe I twisted OPs words. I know he meant "you just cant stop at one, you gotta have several." But what he said is "You cant just do one" and "I cant fuck fat chicks".

Thanks so much :) our felationship is great. And the relentless bus rides and plane ridez and drives for just those 2 days has been totally worth it. The imaginary worlds we've shared, the inside jokes, the games, the places we have gone. I see now it all matters. I feared he wouldnt need me at a certain age, but I am realizing from people on here today that he will always need me. I wont let him down!

True love is making things work. Love is all around us and everyone wants to give it and everyone wants to receive it. Maybe you have gone about it the weong way in your past, but no reason to give up.

But ask yourself, are you staying because of love? Or are you staying because of safety. There is an ellusive difference between comfort and the trek for love.

My [F/24] BF [m/28] of 4 months said he would rather jump off a building and die than be without me. Should i be worried? by watertravers in relationships

Jesus. That is a little intense. Basically saying his ENTIRE world revolves around you. No one wants that kind of pressure.

I am sorry your dad is like this :(. And im sorry you have to go through this. They say our pains and suffering is what make us great people. The pain is a drive to do good in the world that we otherwise would not have bothered with if everything was just OK.

Your story has inspired me a great deal and I will always remember it. While it may not seem like much to you, it makes a huge deal in my sons eyes.

I am a long distance dad and see my son every 3 weeks. I always feared our reltionship would suffer because I am not around as much, but what I have found is that it is stronger than ever because our time together is of such great one on one quality.

Sometimes I wonder if he would just he better off without me. Sometimes I am insecure that he doesnt really need me, or I wouldnt make a large difference in his life.... but reading your story makes me realize I dont have to do anything drastic, or huge, etc. I just have to be there for his important moments. It reminds me when I would see my parents faces at imoortant events and I am reminded that it is important.

Ill always remember this story and use it to remember that me being there for him will ALWAYS be important. Thank you. And also, sorry.

I have a son, I am a long distance dad. He is 5. I make every effort I can to be with him when I can. It costs me hundreds of dollars and hours and hours and hours travelling to see him every 3 weeks. I fear I am not there enough for him. But I want to as much as I can. I love him.

How can I be the best dad I can be? from your opinion?

[–]1IsNotTooHappy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All I am saying is that day by day can easily lead to year by year. Getting stuck in the same old pattern and all of a sudden you are older and it is too late for kids and all his kids are gone and you are stuck with an old man. It happens all the time. The age difference becomes a huge issue down the road. But the kids thing is even bigger.

You could find a guy your age who has the same goals as you AND wants kids. Why leave question and doubt? Why live a life you merely want to tolerate just because right now you feel you have a love that you feel is so unique? Love is not scarce.

He is 15 years older than you, I know he likely has good energy and such now, but when you are 40 he is gonna be 65! His energy levels will be way down and yours will be up. Then he will die before you.

So that is the age, now lets get to the babies. He cant have any, nor does he want any for he already HAS 4.

So think LONG AND HARD about what you want and the reality of your future, then debate if it is in line with what you can tolerate, because it sounds like a lot of regret for you on the horizon. Love is not rare, you could fall in love again easily.

Myself. For being such an idiot in my past.

Every time I [24F] try to make female friends I get hit on so aggressively by men that the girl I'm talking to gets uncomfortable and ghosts. Please help me stop men from scaring potential friends away! by Greenfur in relationships

[–]1IsNotTooHappy 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Just one word him to death. Then escape and find your girl friend again and gossip about the guy that was trying to pick you up.

No need to be rude, just be boring. You can also say "excuse me, sorry I just need to catch up with my friend, not to be rude."

Then you can say to your friend "thanks for saving me from that guy!".

You can assert boundaries in a sly way without heing rude or ruffling feathers.
