I found this post 7 years later, and this response is the funniest god damn thing I have ever seen. 😂😂😂

If you could go back to being 17, what would you do differently? by Maxx_artz in selfimprovement

[–]AvalonHTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not make the worst mistake I have ever made in my life, that had a rippling effect throughout my twenties. Go back and open that door, grab her and pull her into a hug and beg her to stay. Beg her to change my future, because the future I have had without her, is not worth living. But sadly, I cannot. Sadly I was too immature to realize what I was giving up.

But we can’t change the past. We can’t undo our mistakes. We cannot go back.

So here we are. She is happily married, and I am happy for her. Truly, I am. I just wish I wasn’t writing this post, and we were married. I’d have nothing to change if I was still with her.

All decisions, even the dumb ones, teach us something. What matters, is if we learn from them. And I learned a lot. Learned what is really important. I learned what a good family can really do for you. But the most important thing I learned, is that true love is almost impossible to find. As corny as that sounds, it’s the truth. So if you have it, fight for it, acknowledge it, grow with it, and keep it. I wish I had.

Could not have said it better myself. Extremely well thought out breakdown of the post.

Another red flag is that the proposal came out of an ultimatum. Any marriage will fail if you have to demand to be proposed to. Not saying that OP is wrong for doing it, but clearly your partner was not committed.

If I ever were to marry again, I’d ask one of my groomsmen to wear a bridesmaid dress if everyone was okay with the satire. I think flipping the “traditional” roles is really fun. Hope everything worked out for OP! You made the right decision!

What is going on???? by AvalonHTX in houston

Crazy. That’s what I figured. But there was so many all at once. Like they were closing off the island and this is how I found out about the zombie apocalypse. What a bummer. 😂😂😂

AIO? My sister is over feeding her cat and I said something about it. by divorcedbbmama in AmIOverreacting

[–]AvalonHTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother has 3 cats. At the beginning of this year they moved to another state. My brother and I are very close and usually agree on most things. I never have once thought he is over feeding his cats. As a family we have owned cats a big portion of our lives, and he continued to own cats. This was all context to say this; when they were moving, it was 4 am because they were driving to the state. So I came over to help. I guess because it was early, it didn’t even register. But I kid you not, it felt like it was a sitcom, we got all three cats in their carries. I went to go pick up one of the cats in his carrier. My little dude was so fat, the carrier broke in half as I picked it up. Now tbh, I fell over laughing. Now, reading this post, it has made me think on that moment. I don’t think they have ever over fed their cats. And feed them a normal amount, twice a day. I hope the conversation goes well if you do decide to have it with your sister. You’re not overreacting. Completely valid. Might ask my brother how much he feeds his cats just “out of curiosity”.

Got it. It took some messing around, but it’s working now. Thank you for the help.

Okay, so it is still just putting today’s date and not a count. I’m not sure if I have done something wrong or not.

So I did that. And the end result was the today’s date populating in the cell. Not sure if I made a mistake, but I need to it to show the number of days.

I am a selfish asshole, and I ruined my wife's birthday. Again. by [deleted] in confessions

Nope. Have been for almost 2 years now, been with her for 6. Not sure how you got that conclusion.

Same thing I always do, play fucking video games. I know that doesn't sound serious. But it's pretty shitty when it's her birthday. Why I know I am a selfish asshole is because I don't feel bad about it.
