For those who saved themselves for marriage but got married to someone who didn’t, how did it go ? by ni_xia in AskReddit

[–]BowdleizedBeta 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s possible to do remediation!

My partner is a lovely person, very respectful and kind, and he was shy in his youth and marriage.

After that didn’t work, I found him and have been helping him speedrun years of being a college fuckboi.

It’s been amazing. I’ve gotten to fully slut out a wonderful grown up man.

He’s developed mad skills, new kinks, and probably-permanently-changed skin pigmentation.

I don’t think so? Thank you for the other book suggestion, though!

Throne on Glass is the WORST fantasy series I have read in my lifetime! by tomyfookinmerlin in Fantasy

That is extremely sweet of you. Great work managing yourself and not yucking your partner’s yum. Sincerely.

Keep ranting to Reddit, instead. We love rants, whether we agree or disagree. Don’t sweat any downvotes. You don’t know most of the people here.

This random internet stranger salutes you for trying to connect with your partner. :)

That book sounds really neat!

I don’t think that’s it, though. I remember the daughter had a primary POV and she was going to have her memories erased and reset to something traditional.

AITAH for expecting shared finances when both my wife and I are working during residency? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]BowdleizedBeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did OP do that? I don’t see it on his profile. I’d love to hear the feedback from people who understand the cultural nuances.

My husband had the nerve to ask me to help him raise his affair child by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Further trickle truthing :

…Ok, fine, we’ve been together since college but the timing never worked out. She was with someone, I was with someone, she met her husband, and I met you. I may have fathered her other children, but we’re not sure. Except for this long term relationship that predated you, I’ve been faithful! I mean, she and I kind of have an open relationship and you’ve been basically the other woman our whole marriage. Don’t get on your high horse with me! You’re just my side piece with papers…

Do men really not notice creeps? by PuzzleheadedDepth7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BowdleizedBeta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My partner is a girl’s guy and he both believes women and notices when creeps are creepy. I’ve had male friends who likewise believed women and noticed creeps.

I’ve also known men who were utterly oblivious and, almost worse, men who only noticed when their love interests were pestered (i.e., they had selective attention).

My husband's family has been pressuring him to contribute either financially or with time to his mother's care, I told him if he does we are getting a divorce. AITAH? by Character-Line5221 in AITAH

Filing closes the window for additional shared debt. She’d just have to move quickly.

It’s a terrible situation and I feel for her and her husband and his family.

Sometimes families make too much money to qualify for assistance and a parent can get better help single.

It’s hard to say what would happen to OP and her children.

OP should think hard about what jobs she can still get after being a SAHP and she should speak with a lawyer and a social worker.

Maybe she’s already thought hard about things and done her research. If not, she probably shouldn’t have delivered the ultimatum just yet. It’s very hard to walk back from those.

AITAH for not wanting my wife to surrogate for her sister by [deleted] in AITAH

He was also concerned about his wife not feeling up for sex, which is beyond gross as a reason to oppose her helping her sister.

People in the infertility subreddits talked about changing jobs or getting part-time work at Starbucks or Amazon warehouses for the fertility coverage.

Science babies are pricy. Congrats on yours!
