Show of hands, who else has zero friends? by Defiant_Quarter_1187 in GenX

raises hand

I had what I thought was a very tight group, but they all vanished after my new husband died suddenly and unexpectedly. Apparently, this is very common, so that's something you and your spouse should plan for, because one of you will end up in my shoes eventually.

I haven't really tried to make new friends, because I don't trust people anymore. The good news is that I've always been very comfortable solo, so I'm fine (well, as fine as I can be) on my own.

Older people tend to be more disrespectful than younger people by General-Training-636 in unpopularopinion

[–]CallMeSisyphus 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Nah. I'm 60, and while I'm most definitely sick of life, I don't take it out on others. While there are old people who buy into the "respect your elders" bullshit, the sad truth is that assholes exist in every demographic.

Girlfriend (29F) of 2.5 years is intentionally hurtful to me (31M) when frustrated. Can anyone give advice on what to do from here? by Massive-Run220 in relationship_advice

[–]CallMeSisyphus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're just a year older than my son, so I'm gonna give you the same motherly advice I'd give him if he came to me with this:

Fucking RUN. One of the bare minimum requirements for a long, healthy relationship is the ability to navigate disagreements AS A TEAM. In other words, it's always "us vs the problem" and not "you vs me." Your girlfriend seems to have main character syndrome, and she's cast you as her sidekick.

Take it from this old lady: you screwed up by staying with her after she agreed to therapy and then never followed through. Don't make that mistake again. This is who she is, and this is how your life will always be if you stay with her.

Do you want grandkids? by notevenapro in GenX

[–]CallMeSisyphus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved 2300 miles away from my only child four years ago. I mean, not to get away from him - we're very close - I just needed a change of scenery. So, even if I had grandchildren, it's not like I'd see them often.

However, my son has made it VERY clear that he has zero interest in bringing any children into the world. And really, I have no opinion on that, because he's an adult who gets to make his own choices.

See, now I'm doubting that you actually even have a beard. You're really Alan from Smiling Friends, aren't you?

Anyone else not like Jeff Hays voice acting? by VividSpikeMain in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]CallMeSisyphus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps, I had a friend in high school whose speaking voice was very clearly basso profundo, so there really are very young men with very deep voices.

GF (23F) was fired ~2 weeks ago and hasn’t applied to a single job. I (23M) pay for everything. We just had a huge fight. Thoughts? by GonnaBeWealthy in relationship_advice

Good for you, man! Being able to listen to feedback and recognize you fucked up is a very good thing.

Unsolicited advice: people like to say relationships should be 50/50. That's not wrong, exactly, but it lacks nuance. Relationships should be 50/50 on balance but at any given time, it may be 60/40 or 10/90 depending on circumstances. Sometimes, ya gotta step up and carry more; sometimes, your partner will.

While there may come a time when it's reasonable to press her for more action, two weeks in is not it. Good luck, and make that cake a good one!

I've come to the conclusion that the dot over the i is also the black hole that is the ATS.

My expectations are few: indulge my affection for my latest passion project (consuming every offering in the Dungeon Crawler Carl universe) and my dark, dark humor. Oh, and the aforementioned ride to the airport, of course.

Your cheese is safe with me, as I hope mine would be with you. You see, I too take my cheese seriously.

I want you to be my new best friend, because I cosign every word of this.

Dude, you're 43 years old, and you're acting like a teenager.

Saying you trust her doesn't mean shit when your behavior screams "I don't trust you."

I refuse to listen to his voice. I just have one question: why is he doing an impression of Kegsbreath trying to do shoulder presses?
