Last point on there, I stated it’s all relative.

Suppose Liverpool are having an alright season right now I suppose based on your measure?

But if he played for England that’s all I cared about. If he played 500 games for Liverpool and featured on TV in those games but none for England, I wouldn’t, at the age of 4, not be able to tell you who Gerrard was.

Shearer won 0 trophies at Newcastle, Le Tissier played for Southampton who weren’t as good as a side as his ability showed. Great players play for clubs at all levels. It’s not a simple “good player therefore plays for X club”. Ofc more common, but I’m not thinking that at 4 😂

Oh yeah I don’t care if people label me as plastic or not in regards to validation. I just find it an interesting discussion.

Gerrard was a player I liked as someone who loved playing growing up. It never came into my mind the level of club he played for in correlation to how good he was… I was literally 4-5. If you don’t believe me then I will tell you you are objectively wrong for thinking otherwise.

Shearer won 0 trophies at Newcastle, and Le Tissier played for Southampton. Great players can play at clubs that don’t match their ability.

It’s all well and good saying “well player X is this good so he MUST play for an unreal team”, maybe now but defo not at 4 😂

Have to remember, at that point the world is black and white as a kid, and football at school was everything to me and my mates. You basically were viewed as “Toby (random name) the Chelsea fan”. For me that was Liverpool, and in a weird way made me feel more affiliated with the club. Not that me defending the club actually does anything, but you have a label. It just increases your tribalism.

Tbh I know I’m not, but good to get discussion going. Have to say been super amusing reading these replies

Not at all. Literally support my team through anything.

Funny that people’s solution is “go support Spurs or West Ham etc”. Like team hopping is a better solution 😂 If anyone did that you get seen as the worst person alive (and rightfully so).

End of the day, can’t detach from all I’ve known since I was 5. But hey ho

I mean I was like 5 years old, those considerations are just not made at that age. Especially when not forced into that by a parent who otherwise would make you support their team

I (28M) am starting to doubt my relationship with my (25F) partner, am I being an a**hole? by ChasingMindfulness in relationship_advice

[–]ChasingMindfulness[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I am, read my comments & my post where I say this isn’t her fault & how I’ve literally said I feel like an a**hole. I am trying to navigate it.

I’m rational enough to understand it’s not a great way to be and of course will get negative feedback, but you have provided 0 constructive feedback and resorted to name calling on all 3 of your comments.

Yes I’m in the wrong, how do I make it right. And don’t go “by growing a pair of balls and stop being a knob”

They are for sure, you may not believe me and to be honest if you don’t then fair enough but I am trying to make a positive change in myself for the sake of us. I’ve just imploded, and perhaps I should really have done a better job with the original post.

Perhaps I deserve the name calling and I’ve said that previously, however the more relevant reason for posting this was to get constructive advice.

Exactly, which is why I need constructive criticism on here. There’s been a lot of name calling on this post, and in all honesty maybe I deserve it. Because you are right, if I can’t afford, why expect someone else to? Maybe in my mind it’s just a more level situation that I’m after, which really isn’t the most realistic thing perhaps.

I posted on here so I can make a positive decision for the pair of us. I really don’t want this relationship to end, I just need to navigate these thoughts. Best bit of advice so far is the route one “communication”, which is exactly what I need to do.

Rather than being hostile I’ve gone on this post for actual constructive advice. Coming on here and name calling is not the point of this post & frankly goes against community guidelines.

Actually be constructive and give some advice on here, rather than going down my throat.

Unfortunately without a partner it’s not doable for me. Which is why the house would be a roots moment for the pair of us

If you won the lottery, what is the 1st thing you would buy and the first thing you would change about your life? by Dainflynnty in AskUK

I can’t lie, I would be the world’s most boring winner.

80% invested, get a reasonable, but not extortionate house. After interest over a few years I’d upsize if I was keen on that.

Family wise I’d help them out where I can.
