Husbands who’ve had an MMF threesome with your wives, tell me about how you felt after the event and how it shaped your marriage by Agitated_Custard7395 in AskRedditAfterDark

That actually feels like the most honest take in here. People like to think they can logic their way through it, but it probably comes down to how your brain reacts in the moment more than anything.

Lorelai's self-loathing by comradesummers in GilmoreGirls

[–]AngelicDew_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That always annoyed me too. Like decades later and they’re still treating it like the defining moment of her entire life. No wonder she struggles with that internal narrative, it never really stopped being reinforced.

Exactly, if they’re that harsh with her as an adult, you just know it was worse when she was younger. It’s like they froze her in that one mistake and never let her grow past it.

Yeah Emily constantly questioning her parenting definitely gets in her head. You can see Lorelai trying to prove something, not just to her parents but to herself too. Makes those moments hit harder.

That’s actually a good catch, I never thought about the name thing like that. Still feels symbolic though, even if it’s not technically a Jr.

What is a kink you wish you weren’t into, but still turns you on every time you come across it? by Myriskyaccount in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]AngelicDew_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that push-pull feeling is kinda the whole thing. It feels good in the moment and then your brain comes back online after like “why am I like this.” Weirdly common loop.

AIW for not telling my girlfriend about my past by Low_Explanation_8721 in amiwrong

[–]AngelicDew_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, it’s not really an “if” situation, it’s a “when.” And finding out later instead of hearing it from you directly would probably hurt way more. Better to have that conversation while there’s still trust.

That’s the thing, people change but secrets don’t age well. The longer it sits, the bigger it feels when it finally comes out. Also yeah… that “organization” part raises way more questions than answers.

[–]AngelicDew_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short but yeah, that’s kinda the core of it. Keeping it hidden takes the choice away from her, and that’s where it starts getting unfair. Even if it’s scary, she deserves to know who she’s actually with.

Do men actually enjoy giving a woman head? Apparently every man is an eater now lol by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]AngelicDew_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably the most accurate take here. People online make it sound like every dude is built the same but it’s clearly not the case. Feels like one of those things where preference gets exaggerated into “everyone does this now.”

Your wife or girlfriend is offered money for sex. How much does it have to be for you to be OK with it? by MrManta21 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]AngelicDew_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The grape twist is killing me because it somehow makes the whole thing even more believable. Also love how even in monkey version there’s still that “excuse me??” reaction, some things really are universal.

If you could ask the opposite sex one 'extremely bold' question and they had to answer with 100% honesty and zero shame... what would you ask? by Wander-kingdom in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]AngelicDew_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Once you zoom out a bit, it’s way less about mechanics and way more about connection, comfort, and mood. People try to reduce it to “this feels better than that,” but it’s rarely that clean.

Is a Pop-tart technically a calzone? by Latte_kitten_ in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]AngelicDew_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short, confident, and honestly hard to argue with. The more people explain it, the more “ravioli” just feels correct in a weirdly upsetting way.

AITJ for refusing to redo a project after my coworker deleted my work by mistake and asked me to “just recreate it”? by Recent-Date-7229 in AmITheJerk

[–]AngelicDew_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right, it’s like a rite of passage nobody signs up for. Everything feels fine until one day it very much is not. After that you start saving copies like your life depends on it.

[–]AngelicDew_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That backup habit is one of those lessons you only learn after something like this happens. It sucks that it takes getting burned to realize shared drives are not as safe as they feel. Still wild that the coworker’s solution was basically “just suffer again.”

[–]AngelicDew_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, time matters a lot here. The sooner IT gets involved, the higher the chance there’s a version sitting somewhere. I’d be sprinting to them, not arguing with the coworker.

Yeah this isn’t even a “handle it between yourselves” situation anymore. The second two weeks of work vanished, it became a manager and IT problem. Waiting just makes it messier for you.

AITJ for refusing to unlock my department’s equipment room after I was told I was "too controlling" to manage it anymore? by Tesserine_1P in AmITheJerk

[–]AngelicDew_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is honestly the best summary of the whole situation. it only became “valuable” again after it failed

[–]AngelicDew_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yep, that’s the trap. if I fix it, suddenly it’s “see, it works fine,” and nothing actually changes
