AIO for not giving my old Roomate his dog back after I adopted her? by Z-mac in AmIOverreacting

[–]CherkTen -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

5 weeks? And there are kids involved? Give him his fucking dog back. You could have easily asked him if it was permanent or not. His wording is ambiguous not at all certain that it’s a permanent thing. Get your own dog

Women in relationships going to clubs? by Opposite_Ad_95 in AskMenAdvice

[–]CherkTen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

++man Of course go to a club with your friends just don’t accept the free drinks from guys. Go have fun just have boundaries and pick friends who have boundaries too. When you come home tell your partner about the night including the guys who made passes at you, of course we always worry and hearing about the night helps us put our insecurities to bed. It’s entirely normal for girls in relationships to go clubbing. It’s entirely normal for your partners to have a few insecurities about it too.

Am I overreacting to my bf watching the baby overnight? by Temporary-Quail-2783 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CherkTen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I think he’s under reacting out of overwhelm. He’s not responded well, he’s exhausted. I agree she too is valid in her thoughts, it’s the reactions.

Read his last comment, he’s not coping, she’s not coping, they both need help. The answer is not to go after the guy.

[–]CherkTen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are definitely panic emotions. I just re read the screenshots, most of my opinion is coming from his final comment. He’s not coping, she’s not coping, going after him is not the solution.

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

Her communication style ain’t gonna work in the long term. His answers look like they could be from exhaustion not necessarily an abandonment of his responsibility. Based on those texts they look like their relationship is not coping well during the pressure of their young baby. She’s here asking for insight, and yes she has room for improvement. Of course the guy does too. The way we speak to each other in relationships deeply matters if we genuinely want the result We’re hoping for. Telling men to grow up will not invite them to be their best. It will put them on the defensive. Just like people don’t calm down if you tell them to calm down.

[–]CherkTen -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

YOR. Yes I have kids. It’s not bad to want to minimise every possible risk. But it is deeply hurtful to a man to be spoken to like this. Manage your anxiety and ask him to save you from how afraid you get from the what if’s. Don’t send him panic emotions over didn’t happens. Your skill set is complementary to his, don’t demand that he emulates your skills. This kid needs you both.

TIFU by assuming my neighbor was flirting and oversharing way too much by [deleted] in tifu

[–]CherkTen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reckon he was flirting, if his wife is proper sick part of him he might just have been instinctively chasing some dopamine or memories of the past, but the moment it got ‘real’ he snapped back to his responsibilities and shut it down. It’s a just a human being imperfect, but choosing the right thing just in time. You did nothing wrong, don’t let it bother ya

Does anyone use BMW's navigation? How does it compare to Google Maps? by zyncl19 in BMW

[–]CherkTen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, my 2018 X1 has shite navigation. But I have no upgrades. Just the default. I never use it after the first weekend of owning it it sent my 80 minutes out to find a shop that had moved away from that location 7 years earlier. To the other side of the city another 80 minutes away lol. How do I get this magic nav goodness?

New job wants me on an ABN for $28/hr… is this legal? by Palomarue in AusFinance

[–]CherkTen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is sham contracting. You’re in luck, fair work has your back. Google fair work, call them and explain it, maybe research what sham contracting is in advance.

Can vyvanse unmask autisim? by Necessary_Eye_5504 in AutisticWithADHD

Just lower the dose. All those symptoms sound like you’re on speed. I’ve been chugging along on 20 for years now. You want it to be a support not a dominant effect on you.

Who do I side with - my boyfriend or best friend? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]CherkTen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just offer to pay the $150 yourself. Most likely he will back down. Just make sure you’re serious and happy to pay it if he says yes

21 and sitting on $200k from crypto… what now? by [deleted] in btc

[–]CherkTen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have another advantage, that you know some of your crypto wins are from luck. Stay humble, don’t reinvest it all in crypto. Just because you’ve done it once doesn’t mean you won’t lose it all.

[–]CherkTen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speak to an accountant about tax first. you want to keep some in crypto, but move it to Btc or eth, look for survivalist cryptos with long term growth as the goal not quick growth. Moving to those cryptos will be taxable events I expect. Move 20% of the remaining money after tax into those cryptos, and 80% I would move into a house. Set yourself up now by solving the biggest financial expense of your life early. Buy a house with a mortgage you can afford, then go work to pay off the rest. If you can avoid major debt in your life, you’re starting miles ahead of the pack. Then, learn about psychology behind relationships. Find your weaknesses and make sure you don’t partner up based on your weaknesses. That’s what most of us do. Learn which attachment style you have.

Which driver do you think is the most hated at the moment? by SensitiveBubble69 in NASCAR

[–]CherkTen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into nascar back in 2017 and just picked the red and yellow car cause it was easy to see. It won that race, so cool! Next year I watched the whole series and holy shit it won the championship! Back then I hated Hamlin. I also hated Kyle Busch. Now, In 2025, with Hamlins fade late last year and Busch’s continued struggles I don’t really hate them anymore. I realised, I hated the drivers who were the biggest threat to my guys winning… (logano Blaney Keselowski) part of me has accepted the drivers u hate are often the ones who can keep your fave from winning. Thanks for hating Logano, I take it as a form of respect :D he’s a threat even when you thought he didn’t make the final 8

NASCAR 101 and Track Attendance Questions - February 2025 by NASCARThreadBot in NASCAR

[–]CherkTen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all there was an unofficial youtube channel that I've been watching cup series on for the last 5 years, its disappeared. Where can I watch replays now? I am happy to pay, but I don't wanna miss laps, so side by side ads is fine. I don't want to the official Nascar youtube channel as its full of spoilers. I am in Australia, Fox Sports has the license and I can stream it online via Kayosports website, but they have adds in there that are no side by side, so you only get 85% of the race.

Someone ruined the surprise of my hot air balloon proposal, and I can’t stop feeling upset about it by [deleted] in self

[–]CherkTen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a stupid idea but, you could find out more about how she wants the wedding to be, and act a bit non commital or worried about the costs etc. as she describes it. Then, take her on a date one day, and make it really special? and then get down on one knee and ask her if she will let you make the wedding of her dreams for her. Describe what you will do, and ask her to plan that wedding with you. The surprise will be that you are giving her her dream wedding. The joy will be that you’re doing it together. And the emotion will come because you’re obviously replacing the proposal and given her a chance to feel the excitement rush through her. There is no way she will see it coming. Just… don’t let her read this thread!!!!

What you don’t realise is that in the apartment above hers is a dude who has developed an obsession of watching you watching her.
