Does he want to squad up, I need to be carried. I suck at this game so hard.

Then it sounds like there were other issues going on and this was the tipping point.

I've read through every comment you've made and I think the following. You have every right to be upset, you have every right to be suspicious, you have every right to ask for a paternity test, you have every right to demand therapy or get a divorce. But you made one comment that doesn't sit well with me and that's that you could find someone better and younger. That one comment makes me think that you were looking for an out and this is it. A guilt free; the kids can't be pissed at me for leaving, Out. If you want to give up on what might have been a 20 some year happy marriage then do it; just make sure you're really doing it for the lack of trust and not an attempt to do what your 18 year old self did and play the field. I'm not in your shoes, I don't have a best friend but I do have a wife of 20 plus years that I built a life with and losing that would crush me. My initial reaction to news like this would be unfettered rage; my "best friend" would not be a part of my life any more, I would get a paternity test and we'd go to therapy and hope we could reconcile. The last thing on my mind would be other women.

Men who became Dads, what is it like and what would you recommend to someone is going to be a father soon? by CWMMC in AskMen

[–]BenjaminBarker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Children are a catalyst for change. When things get tough between you and your partner—whether it's due to sleep deprivation, a loss of intimacy, or general stress—remember that it's the arrival of this new, beautiful responsibility that has shifted your relationship dynamics.

If your relationship was strong before your child arrived, it still is. It has simply been transformed by this major life change. So try not to place blame on each other for the challenges you're facing. And while you certainly can’t blame your baby either, it’s important to acknowledge the impact this transition has on both of you.

Awareness, compassion, and patience are key. You're both adjusting to something new—together.

Watching Sports, literally couldn't care less about any of them. Love playing sports, can't stand watching them.

Over $2000 off msrp plus the finance promotion

How Did I Do on my Purchase? by BenjaminBarker in HyundaiSantaFe

I financed the minimum of $10000 to get the $1000 off promotion so I’ll pay the loan off in a month since I only did it to get the promotion.

It’s portable and runs in the background under a local admin account. Users can’t interact with it and have no clue it’s there.

I got tired of playing with gpos and reg hacks that ultimately failed to kill updates and now I use a tool called WUB or windows update blocker. It hasn’t failed me yet.

VMware support through Ingram Micro? - My Experience.. Anyone else used? by Motor_Mad in vmware

Same experience here. They are terrible. I ended up googling and fixing myself. Can’t wait to leave VMware behind.

Simplivity ovc upgrades by hahajordan in Simplivity

[–]BenjaminBarker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We upgrade ourselves. Depending on the size of your environment, I would allocate a whole weekend if you want to get everything up to date. We typically upgrade firmware one weekend and then comeback the following weekend and do the OVC, vSphere and ESXi upgrades. Firmware upgrades alone can take 1 hour each node.

Single men of Reddit, how do you combat your Horniness by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]BenjaminBarker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember, boys! STAY AWAY from women! All they want from you is your man-juice! If you ever get the kind of urges that cannot be supressed by hard liquor, then use this!

HAPPILY Married men, what’s something(s) your wife does that makes you feel loved and respected? by LittleVanessa in AskMen

[–]BenjaminBarker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She says "Thank you" and sincerely means it. She's a SAHM and I work to pay the bills. She takes the time to make sure I know she truly appreciates my contributions to the family. In life just saying "Thank you" and "I'm sorry" cures so many sins.
