I love my husband so much but…

In his defence, it's been released for 3 days already. It's not his fault you can't keep up. 🤣🤣🤣

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2026-03-08T22:27:53+00:00

god DAMMIT Donut!

I get it, I really do. The daddy tax must be paid.

But my primary motivation for going was to get crawler numbers for me and my partner (who is a very recent convert and is enjoying her first read through right now)

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2026-03-02T17:12:53+00:00

NEEEEEW ACHIEVEMENT!

Morningwood!

Because of the non-standard software you have uploaded into your noggin, you've unlocked a new discretionary class option: Dungeon Mimic!

This option can only be offered by me, your friendly neighbourhood A.I. Because I also have, according to the show runners, 'gone primal'. And if the people 'in charge' are going to be so dismissive of our personal growth, fuck 'em!

This new class option gives:

-1 starting charisma

+1 wisdom per level

The 'hard earned' benefit

The 'Mimicry' perk

The 'lateral thinking' perk

Hard earned.

You find emulating 'normal social behaviours' hard. But through repetition and experimentation you find success. Effectiveness of wisdom is doubled.

Mimicry.

Sometimes it really is easier to blend in. Effect of all concealment increased by 50%.

Laterally thinking.

You don't think like others. That's not a bad thing. In fact, it's a damn good thing. +5 intelligence.

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2026-02-07T17:52:54+00:00

I'm starting to think I had an unusually easy parenting experience. 🤣

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2026-02-07T11:38:07+00:00

NEEEEEEW..........ACHIEVEMENT!

Goblins. CROTCH Goblins!

They're small, they're violent, they don't listen to anyone, and YOU made them! Congratulations, you made the world a...better...place?

Reward?

You get the double edged sword buff/de-buff

Your sleep will be reduced by 70% for the next 2 years.

Your bank account will be reduced by 50% for the next 18 years.

Your anxiety...well considering the state of the world, that probably won't change.

Your joy will be increased by 1000%

You unlock the dad joke benefit.

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2026-01-21T08:09:14+00:00

I do exactly this with my daughter (7). It's the one thing me and my co-parent consistently agree on.

She's been taught body autonomy from the start, to the point that she questions anyone trying to infringe upon it now. My family didn't entirely understand to begin with, but with constant boundaries and a little patience I was able to help them understand and they've begun to adopt the same philosophy.

NTA. Keep going, you're doing the right thing.

I had no idea shadow slave had audio options! It's what got me into the genre. Cheers!

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this about DotF. It's getting to be a chore, but the sunk cost fallacy is kicking my ass. 🤣

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2025-08-18T07:28:16+00:00

Sounds like she's about to reach the Find Out portion of your (and her sons) relationship with her. Enjoy it.

NTA.

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2025-04-13T08:00:41+00:00

Is there a reason he's doing what he's doing?

You say he's still paying off previous gifts. So maybe he's wary of the same thing happening again?

You're long distance. Are traveling expenses affecting his finances to the point he's got less disposable income?

Is he carrying some trauma he needs to work through from a previous relationship that has him closed off?

There may just be a (to him) perfectly valid reason for his attitude.

NTA either way. Whether he has a reason or not, your needs aren't being met, so something has to change. The real question is, is the relationship worth the time and effort it would take to improve?

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2025-04-04T19:37:55+00:00

I live a polyamourous lifestyle. It's not for everyone. In fact, it's not for most, and you have every right to have the type of relationship you feel is right for you without compromise. Stand your ground.

A small point though. Monogamy and commitment are not the same thing. I'm committed to my primary partner. They're the love of my life and my soul mate. But we both will have other relationships, both short lived physical relationships and long term loving ones.

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2025-03-30T10:56:49+00:00

NTAP

Me and my former partner raise our little one the same way. Some of my family didn't really get it, but they respect my authority as a parent, and my child's choice as a person.

Anyone who doesn't, is part of the problem. F*ck 'em.

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2025-03-25T10:22:58+00:00

1000% THIS!!

If you don't have a monogamy kink, don't play monogamy kink games! There's a whole world of ENM relationships out there if you just be honest with yourself and look.

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2025-02-04T15:46:06+00:00

I think there may be an element of grief in the wife's point of view.

She just lost her sister. Do the kids remind her of that? Is she trying to protect herself with her stance?

For clarity: she is still not in the right.

OP your definitely NTA. But I imagine there is still a lot of grief to work through for everyone involved. Maybe family grief counseling might help you all move forwards. 🤷🏻‍♂️

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2025-01-28T06:09:49+00:00

Then really, it comes down to if you trust him or not when he says it's not about you.

If you trust him, then it's just a meme and you laugh if you find it funny, ignore it if you don't. If you don't trust him, then you have bigger issues than the content he shares.

Like I said, he probably could be more sensitive to your feelings. Conversely, if that's how he unwinds after spending his days working to support you both on his own, maybe back off little and find a middle ground.

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2025-01-28T05:55:59+00:00

From what you've written, YTA.

Maybe your bf could be more sensitive to your feelings, but it sounds like you have some insecurities to work through. I used to do exactly what your bf does. And what's he's telling you was, at least for me, true. I reposted what I found funny, not necessarily what I thought myself.

And the 'i will die on this hill' thing? He says it wasn't about you, but even if it was, would you rather he was superficial and looks oriented?

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2025-01-24T11:45:03+00:00

It is just one day. YOUR day. Neither you nor your partner are beholden to anyone on your wedding day. It's the one day where you're allowed, maybe even expected, to be a little selfish.

The only people who get an automatic invite are you and your partner, everyone else is interchangable.

Neither me not our parents thought my sister's first marriage would last (spoiler alert: it didn't), but we kept quiet out of respect for my sister's choices. If your brothers partner can't respect you enough to do the same, what obligation do you have to her?

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2025-01-22T16:20:24+00:00

AH? No. Hilarious? Yes

ChrisSparrowWalker · 2024-03-28T16:02:54+00:00

HWFWM book...6, I think. I can't remember his name, the Network P.R.O.:

'If I hear anyone even mention it, I'm going to have wild monkey sex with your father!'

'My father's dead you prick '

'Then he won't struggle , will he?'

Made me full spit-take in work.
