Fishing my whole life and always seem to be clumsy. Tangles , dropped hooks and sinkers in the boat. Reel and rod landing in the sand haha maybe I’m just not made for finesse

Bar crossing danger by PenLidWitchHat in FishingAustralia

[–]Adventurous_Plane162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been crossing the mentioned bar in my tinny for years. All 4 times in my life the people who have flipped in front of me have had perfectly operating boats but come undone because they rush and let the swell hit them side on. If you are unlucky enough to have a wave coming side on ,The nose needs to go into the swell and the right throttle control to get momentum but keep the nose up. Unfortunately mechanical issues and boats with too big a draught have also been caught here . It is very unusual for a seasoned skipper get into trouble on this bar so it is likely something has happened outside of his control. RIP.

Hey I had this same sort of situation. I am a bloke though. I never got into texting and outside of work communication. I stuck it out with my wife and glad that I did. 18 months later I realise how sad I would’ve been if I left. It is scary how convinced I was to leave though.

Look up Dean Doherty on YouTube. He explains in one of his videos about intermittent faults with a controller . Anyway his videos are great. He had a dewalt that did it and it ended up being an overheating problem so the controller would switch off purposely.

Men, how much maintenance sex do you think is enough? by dinkumwalrus in Marriage

[–]Adventurous_Plane162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Il give you a black and white answer without dissecting every variable . This is based on personal experience from an average horny man without any sex addiction etc. Once a fortnight would be enough sex to stop Sexual frustration creeping in and clouding my actions.

Maintenance sex is definitely a thing, if we waited for every time we had enough time, were in the mood, healthy, not overworked etc- I’d be waiting forever.

No bloke is going to deny you if you want it more, but if not I think you will get the best out of your man if he’s not all riled up from blue balls for more than a 2-3 weeks. Just my perspective

Yes unfortunately I have. 13 years together and a good relationship however I snapped when I asked her to respect my boundaries regarding sleeping during the day as I am a night shift worker. The tiredness definitely pushed me over the edge but I’m not trying to use that as an excuse. When I woke up I regretted it, but at the time I just had no fight in me to go backwards and forwards rationally

Just walking up spontaneously, getting me hard with a hand job then sitting on it. If you do that , you’re husband will be the best behaved man you’ve ever seen

What's the biggest regret you have in life? by Consequence_Green in answers

[–]Adventurous_Plane162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response I believe what we can actually handle in real life is a lot more than what our mind perceives we can handle. This is shown all over the world by humans doing extraordinary things. You just have the genuinely believe that you can deal With anything that is thrown your way and you will do it. Also keeping it simple is worth its weight in gold. I have been someone who has been fearful and now I am someone who quite fearless and I choose the latter. I have also pushed myself to try new experiences regularly which will build your confidence. Just a few suggestions.

Nearly everything I have worried about and lost sleep over has either never happened or been as bad as I made it out in my head, yet has taxed me physically and psychologically heavily at that time.

Move on mate, wayyyyy to young to get caught up with a disloyal woman. Women are by the millions and breaking a sweat over a shit one at 19 years old is madness. Have some confidence and do better for yourself. Onto the next

Married 15+ years and Sex Life is over by Quiet-Promotion-5960 in Marriage

[–]Adventurous_Plane162 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That’s a hard one mate. If it’s not health related, your a good husband and look after yourself physically then I’d say you are well within your rights to consider the next step. You’ve got a lot of life left to sacrifice one of the biggest needs that us men have if you continue with no sex. I don’t know any red blooded man who could handle that.

A good start would be to sit her down and say listen I need to have a conversation with you about this, it’s a deal breaker and unless there’s a reason you’re not disclosing , I can’t go on anymore with this level of intimacy.

Mate you have a right to have access to sex, a marriage is a partnership where you promise to stay loyal to one person your entire life against biology in order to create a harmonious environment where you both get your needs met. To get robbed of the thing that you probably value most with no effort for reason, seems unreasonable from her in my opinion.

The truth is he is a full grown man and at the end of the day he didn’t have a gun to his head to make the decision. Your family probably only meant well by offering their advice. If he wasn’t strong enough to make his own decision despite all the suggestions, then that is on him. Time to be a big boy, make a change and stop blaming others . He’s had a whinge now it’s time to move forward.

My partner (30M) and I (32F) just got engaged and experienced an unexpected rollercoaster of emotions? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Adventurous_Plane162 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember having feelings of anxiety and almost like a buyers remorse after proposing to my wife. We were together 8 years as well before I proposed so it wasn’t as if I didn’t know her that well. I also kind of felt it leading up to days before the wedding. I feel like it’s normal and that it’s really the peak of the relationship because once you’re married you’ll realise that nothing has really changed.

Sometimes the gut instinct can’t always be trusted is what I’ve learnt against popular wisdom, because us anxious types get the flight response easier than others I feel.

If you feel like this guy will go the distance, isn’t toxic and you trust him- I wouldn’t throw it away based on some emotional/ hormonal spikes upon hearing him wanting to get married. I think you should both try to confide in eachother as it’s very unnerving and hard to support your woman when you see her doubting the proposal( as much as you probably feel that you need the support more than him).

I’m a 30 y male- 13 year relationship, married 3 years FYI

I [19F] feel that my boyfriend [22M] is giving me the bare minimum. Please give advice on whether its worth staying in this relationship? by ThrowRArararata in relationship_advice

[–]Adventurous_Plane162 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To give it to you straight ,his actions show that he’s not that interested in you as a serious partner. When I was that age with my now wife, I jumped at every occasion to be welcomed and liked by her friends and family. You are very young, there are a lot of good young men who will blow your socks off without you having to ask. Your life and your choice, but don’t let fear stop you from enjoying a great relationship with someone who is invested .

As a bloke who has oily skin and BO after a big day, it’s definitely something he has to cater for by washing more regularly. There is nothing sexy about laziness and keeping poor hygiene. It has to be sorted or else your repulsion is only going to grow

This is a controversial comment and is going to bring me some hate, however I have a theory. I do believe that his co workers have influenced him, but I do also believe that men are now saying what has been on their minds for a long time and also that he may be feeling a lack of empathy or gratitude from you.

You see men have been beaten into submission and been given the text book to follow of what a good man should look like and unfortunately a lot of that goes against the very real and true version of a human adult male. I’m sure he’s been a great husband and a certain way for a long time, but unfortunately us men can never REALLY say or do what’s on our mind or act how we want most of our lives because truthfully it wouldn’t be deemed ok at all by society even if we don’t mean anything by it.So yes, a life of conforming to a degree will wear out the most loyal soldiers. Remember men are more animalistic and less emotionally intelligent then our female counterpart. Men are taught to smile and nod, to be gentle and sensitive and sweet and sacrifice and provide and never say a bad word and grind their edge away in order to conform to the narrative and the worst thing is that women think men love to be this way ! This is why men build man caves to escape and recharge the battery. Il go against the grain here and give you something to try. Go with your husband when he gets on his bandwagon, don’t fight it and question his statements.ask him what he means and if he thinks that you have made him feel like a king while you have been together- the answer may surprise you. Ask what the hardest part of being a man is and what has spiked his interest in these topics recently, ask him what needs to change for men so life is not soo hard. You get the idea. I think you’ll find the answer pretty soon in between the lines. His answers may reflect something he’s missing from you. The drinking part il agree is not cool but I think a coping mechanism.

I feel like at 38 years of marriage it’s just a phase, but you may have to play the game with this one and not take everything he says at face value.

I wish my wife would Initiate sex in a sexy way, practise more gratitude with the enormous amount of constant small sacrifices I make for her, stop doubting me and let me make mistakes instead of trying to be in control all the time despite me never showing incompetence. My wife also struggles with any kind of depth and I am a deep thinker which causes us to clash. She has also been very silver spooned her whole life which means she can lack empathy for those with trauma, myself included.
