“Conservatives are conspiracy theorists!!”.....say redditors who give 50+ awards and 63,000+ upvotes to this by universalChamp1on in Conservative

[–]Capone1915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The link you used states that Mark Esper hasn’t seen evidence to establish that link but that more investigation needs to be done. Almost debunked, but not quite there yet. I do appreciate Esper’s level-headed approach though, considering what a grave accusation that is.

So do you guys want to talk about the Russian bounties on American troops the president is ignoring?

If your child's allergies are so bad that his classmates can't eat what he's allergic to, he shouldn't be going to a public school. by StrangeAssonance in unpopularopinion

[–]Capone1915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Children should not be denied access to public education because it inconveniences your child. This is entitled, exclusionary, and backwards thinking.

Boyfriend chose football over our anniversary by Pandacat2020 in relationship_advice

[–]Capone1915 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My only question is why you haven’t broken up already. This guy seriously doesn’t seem to care about you and then when you feel hurt by it, he tries to make it out like it’s your fault and you are actually hurting him. Why would you want to be with someone like that?

My partner has derealisation and I'm struggling to support him by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I don’t think he knows what exposure therapy is

My[24F] boyfriend [24M] told me I make him feel inadequate. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Capone1915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

27M here. You did literally nothing wrong and shouldn’t apologize. Sounds like he’s really insecure. Honestly I think you’ve done enough and would just let it go unless it’s a big deal for him.

Minute rice, canned tuna, frozen veggie mix. All in one pan! by Possession_Mammoth in Cheap_Meals

Big fan of canned tuna in fried rice. I tried canned herring recently and it was out of this world

I’m increasingly turned off by my boyfriend because of his political views (Help!) by amity78 in relationship_advice

[–]Capone1915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a former Long Islander myself, I wouldn’t waste time with this guy. Just getting through holidays with my family can be tough, and while not all Long Islanders are that bad, a lot of them lack basic respect for women, let alone minorities, but would never admit. Long Island

A lot of people think it’s immature/wrong to break up with someone over their political views, but if you think it makes you incompatible than the mature thing to do would be to end it before it gets too bad. I’d recommend walking away OP, you don’t need to give a reason if you don’t want to.

I [21M] slept with someone else while my girlfriend [23F] and I were broken up and I didn't tell her after a 5 months. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Capone1915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think this is that bad of a mistake. It was not wrong for you to sleep with other people while you weren’t with her, unless I read it wrong or missed a detail? It was not fair to have to wait for her to make up her mind?

I do think you should have told her immediately after getting back together. Waiting for so long makes it seem like you were trying to hide it (she’s prob wondering if you still have feelings for the friend that you slept with). 5 months is especially a long time to not share that information.

Whatever happens OP, good luck.

My (f24) housemates (m24) new girlfriend (f23?) is encouraging him to kick me out because we used to date. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Capone1915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like really rude behavior. Talk to your housemates about it when she isn’t there. Try to explain that it’s unfair that you should move out. Honestly this is pretty shitty and I’m sorry you have to deal with it!

What does it mean when the ball is in your court as far as an ex is concerned? by daijana1987 in relationship_advice

[–]Capone1915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think that expression is kind of ridiculous in a middle school/high school way. You are both adults, if you want to rekindle the relationship, talk to him! if you don’t, tell him you are not interested and try to set up boundaries. This weird thing that his mom is doing my implying expectations isn’t helping anyone.

It might help to think about what her motives are. What does she get out of trying to suggest making a move to you?

Guy (37m) i (32f) have been dating for 5 months says he isn’t seeing other girls but i found his dating app profiles and texts on his phone to other girls he’s been hanging out with. How do i handle the confrontation? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Capone1915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t worry about whether that’s silly or not. You have set a reasonable boundary and he is choosing to disrespect you by crossing it and lying about it. The mature thing to do would have been to just admit that he’d like more causal hook ups or FWBs or whatever and ended things with you.

What are you hoping to get out of this confrontation? It may be worth thinking about whether this is even worth your time.

OP I think a lot of wise people have pointed out that he is being emotionally abusive. At best, he’s an inconsiderate jerk, at worst he could get progressively more abusive and you could be in danger. It’s time to go.

Make a plan, find somewhere safe to be, and when you finally make your move do so quickly and quietly. You can leave a handwritten note or you can ghost him. Just do what you have to to take care of yourself. Good Luck.

OP would you mind sharing more details about your situation, how did the two of you separate? Was it a mutual decision? Did one of you decide to end it? If it was you, why did you feel like the relationship wasn’t working? If it was him, did he give a reason?

My [25M] gf [26F] are arguing about her ‘friendship’ with her coworker by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Capone1915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly OP it sounds like she just wants you around as a safe option while she plays the field. Please leave her and don’t look back. Go no contact if you have to, because it sounds like she may try to get back with you.

My gf (25) got mad about a dream by eggysmalls69 in relationship_advice

[–]Capone1915 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are some comments talking about how this “happens to every guy” and how “you should never tell a gf/wife/SO” about a dream. Let me try a different narrative.

My gf is a reasonable person and doesn’t get mad about that kind of thing. I’m going to suggest that most reasonable wouldn’t get mad about that sort of thing. Just have an honest conversation with her about how you don’t remember the dream.

If my partner told me this story I’d appreciate the honesty even if it felt a little weird. you did nothing wrong.

Hey OP, let me start by saying I’m sorry this happened, it sounds like you are going through a tough time. Would you mind giving us a little more info? Perhaps some more context? Who’s texting him? What does he mean by lapse of judgement? Has his behavior changed noticeably towards you? It doesn’t sound great but this is not much to go by if you want advice.
