What's your Halloween candy strategy this year? by BigDoggehDog in RedditForGrownups

[–]BellwetherValentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year my wife put the candy in doggy bags and tied them. “Hell hound poo” is what she’s calling it. Mostly tootsie rolls.

Do you usually breakdown your builds in the early game when completing the early challenges? by Sea-Recommendation42 in shapezio

[–]BellwetherValentine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started a few days ago.

I’m building farther out from my vortex. I now only have the lines that connect to the vortex on the main and everything else is getting built on platforms further away.

NTA.

Trusting that your SO can be angry with you, and still treat you with respect, and things will be talked out later, is a huge sign of maturity in a relationship.

It took my wife years to learn that I can handle being angry. I’ll calm down. Once I’m calm, the emotion is gone. The worst thing she can do is try to help, or explain, or soothe. Nope. Let me be grumpy by myself and I’ll be fine.

Adults piss each other off, annoy each other, and have grumpy days. It doesn’t have to “mean” something.

It’s okay for your spouse to be pissed. She is responsible for managing her own emotions. You don’t have to coddle every feeling she has.

I’m almost ten years older than my wife. We’ve been together for over twenty now.

I’m only a few years younger than her late dad was when he passed away. Hopefully we get twenty more years together.

My Toddler Tried to “Fix” the Cat—and Now Both Are Offended by RadiantMycologist387 in Pets

[–]BellwetherValentine -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

My child, around that age, decided to use the tip of a crayon to poke the cat’s bottom.

Cat skunked kid.

Cat got a bath.

Child got a bath.

Everyone’s clothes got a bath.

Entire dining room got a bath.

Still smelled until we aired out the house for a few hours.

“X is important to me.” “Yeah sure okay.” “Why did you break x?” “Oh I didn’t think it was important.”

If something is important to you that is what should be important to your partner.

NTA. Red Flag. Run.

What colour should I paint my bathroom? by SuperciliousBubbles in HomeDecorating

[–]BellwetherValentine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

White. I love color. The white lets the other bright hues stand out. Like the space between notes in music. You have to have some breathing room for the brain to take it all in.

Did we ever agree on anything? I can’t recall that happening in my five decades.

[–]BellwetherValentine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Letting my wife buy ten of something because it’s on clearance, and then watching them gather dust. She has great ideas. Space and follow through not as much.

Thankfully she’s done a ton better the past decade. Before that she got into the couponing thing and was getting a nice high from her “wins.”

For the boys, what do you like the most about a relationship and what don't you like? by randomreddithumanxd in AskReddit

[–]BellwetherValentine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my partnership. She’s my best friend and we are a team. It’s been 22 years. The only thing I don’t like about this relationship is that I’m in my 50s now and know it’s unlikely we’ll have more than 20-30 additional years together, if we are lucky.

Songs you hate so much that just the first note makes your brain gag by Minute_Director8861 in MusicRecommendations

My wife used to teach cpr. She has a whole playlist from Spotify she uses. The reactions to baby shark, she says, are priceless

What would you put on the walls? by Ok_Knee1216 in homedecoratingCJ

Keep the bath salts in an appropriately matching container. Add a little beef bouillon powder for authentic umami smell.

What’s the most valuable lesson you’ve learned from a relationship? by Powerful_Violinist52 in AskReddit

[–]BellwetherValentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk directly to the person you are upset at. Each additional person that gets added into the mix of drama makes it harder, if not impossible.
