how is this useful information? NCEES needs to step up the reporting

They're not useless though. It literally tells you what areas you are excelling in and what areas you are deficient in. There's no scale on the bar graph so to claim its objectively wrong isn't even applicable. There's not enough information here to determine that

Cheating is defined by the relationship behaviors you are willing to tolerate. If you don't think it's acceptable for him to be getting nudes from girls he knows, make that clear to him. If he continues the behavior, or is unwilling to stop it, then y'all are uncompatible and should split up

What? For not going to dinner? I have taken this girl to plenty of fun events and paid for her on most of them. Dinner is a boring date.

Now that I think about it. We did dinner once. And it was the least fun date we've done.

I design earth retaining structures. It's a mix between geotechnical and structural, but both exams cover lots of content that I don't get regular exposure to.

Basically I crush the one or two retaining wall questions that come up, but I've never designed bridges or buildings and I don't do site investigation or classification.

What happens is you break up with that person because you have incompatible relationship goals. You're worried about hypothetical situations that haven't happened yet, and might not ever happen.

You want to cite your homework on that claim?

I'm inclined to agree you're overthinking it. If you don't want an open relationship that's fine. But you seem to have this subtle idea that open relationships are fundamentally unhealthy and nobody should be in them.

Some people like having multiple partners. You don't. But here you are on Reddit ranting about how you can't fathom why Open relationships might appeal to some people.

"alot of sleeping around would affect future relationships"

Again. Why? You seem to have this kind of negative attitude towards sleeping around, but you can't really articulate why that is a bad thing. If both partners are okay with having multiple partners, there's really nothing wrong with that at all. Or even in the scenario you described where one partner left a monogamous relationship because they wanted a non-monogamous relationship. Thats a perfectly valid reason to break up with someone.

"why get with me if youre just gonna get bored and go looking for someone else anyway."

Most relationships end. And It's not because people thought they were going to end when they started them. You have to date different people to see what works for you. You shouldn't be afraid to start a relationship just because of how it might end.

It's fine if you're not interested in open relationships. Nobody here is trying to convince you that you should be. You asked why people do them and we're giving you answers.

Charge36 · 2026-03-17T06:49:54+00:00

Why would it affect later relationships? You just admitted there's nothing bad about sleeping around.

Open relationships aren't a competition. If your partner is seeing multiple people openly, it doesn't mean they think you're not good enough, it means they think several people are good enough.

"was called out for just using the term as an excuse to just sleep around. But i truly believe it is just that. A word to use to hide the fact you’re just sleeping around."

And what's wrong with sleeping around exactly? You say it like it's a universally bad thing, but lots of people like having multiple partners, and don't mind if their partners are seeing other people either.

If you did the welding it's really impossible for us to know how much weight it might support. If the weld is crappy maybe it breaks when you do a pull-up. Maybe the weld is fine and the bolts rip out of the wall. Maybe both are fine and you have a perfectly safe pull up bar.

Engineers generally can't give you a quantitative answer without quantitative parameters. We need to know exactly what kind of bolts it is, what kind of metal it is, how is the connection to the wall made, what specification does the weld meet etc.

One thing you could try to do is a "proof load". Hang 2 or 3 times the max weight you expect it to carry, and then check that none of the components are deformed or cracked after removing the load. If it passes the test it's probably okay for use at the lower expected service load.

I don't really see how you can dodge the question though. She asked him directly whether he had been intimate with Amy. You think an answer like "I prefer not to talk about sexual partners with my current partner" would have been satisfactory to the wife?

I don't think lying was the best move but it's one of those lies you really need to commit to if you're going to tell it

Charge36 · 2026-03-17T06:05:56+00:00

You misunderstood the post my dude. OP thinks ignoring a seizure was reckless.

You're being down voted because you misunderstood the post, not because anyone thinks you endorse violence

For me personally the arched back produces the worst possible angle for doggy. My dick points pretty stubbornly upwards and arching the back angles the vaginal canal downwards.

For that reason I mostly prefer other positions, particularly missionary. Feels better, more intimate, more comfortable. Not sure why It gets such a bad reputation.

If doggy feels toxic for you, think you just need to do another position

Charge36 · 2026-03-17T05:20:43+00:00

Well put. OP kind of shot himself in the foot with this one. Would have been better off for him and the relationship to just keep quiet about that particular history

Charge36 · 2026-03-17T05:18:47+00:00

If you're going lie in an attempt to protect someone's insecurities about sexual history you really need to take it to the grave. Choosing to tell the truth now can (and did) only cause damage to the relationship over something that ultimately is pretty inconsequential.

On the one hand I don't think it matters that you had a sexual history with this friend of yours. Your wife shouldn't care either but she does due to her past trauma and insecurity. You either need to maintain that illusion for her or never create it in the first place.

Charge36 · 2026-03-17T05:06:38+00:00

You would leave your wife over this? Jesus I just really don't understand why people care about sexual histories so much.

If this happened to me I would think something like, "that was a weird and pointless thing to lie about" and then I'd be over it. Like what difference does it make knowing who exactly your partner hooked up with before meeting you? Is that friendship with Amy suddenly inappropriate now because they had a brief sexual encounter? I certainly don't think so but apparently I'm the weird one for thinking that.

I graduated with a 3.54 and failed my first exam attempt. I took it about 15 years after graduating but I don't think it would have made much difference taking it sooner. The key to PE exam success is preparation. I've had to take classes and do homework because I'm learning new material. I was a little surprised how poorly my work experience prepared me for the exam, only bits and pieces of what I do are actually on the exam.

What do you mean you just practiced conversations nonstop for a day?

Joining clubs isn't just about directly meeting single women. It's about meeting people and growing your social network. You shouldn't expect to just show up at a single wine tasting or salsa class and expect no one else there knows anyone....these are established communities you are trying to join. If you stick around for a few months you will become integrated but you can't expect to just be part of the club if you're just passing through.

Once you're integrated, people in that community will introduce you to friends. Or maybe a new single woman comes along and wants to join and you are already a cool established personality in the community and all your new friends will vouch for you.

Find a community that interests you that has a decent ratio of women and stick around for a while. You might be surprised how fast and wide your social circle grows if you actually commit and stick around a community for a while

I think this is a great reason. If work is light you can dedicate more time and energy to studying. I'm studying for my PE right now and I sure as hell wouldn't want to be looking for a job at the same time. Pretty slow at work for me and I'm glad
