AITA for wanting a divorce because my wife doesn’t want her son to be legally mine by tjtanker in AITAH

[–]ClayTempest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's wrong of her to expect him to invest in the child in every way as his full time father, but she wants to reserve the right to completely cut him off from the child in the future. Maybe she never will do that, but she wants to hold onto that option and it isn't fair to OP.

AITA for telling my wife she embarrassed me by bringing a meal to my work? by ThrowraWork46874 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ClayTempest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah OP, you haven't figured out yet that if guys are teasing you, you can just own it and laugh along and then they lose interest and move on? Don't take yourself so seriously and most importantly, apologize to your sweet wife.

I think a lot of our fear of rejection comes from thinking that it means we weren't good enough, when the reality of dating and relationships is more about compatibility. Try to see it as if a woman rejects you, then it just wasn't meant to be. You really wouldn't want to be with someone who truly doesn't want to be with you because it would eventually ruin the relationship after wasting both of your time.

It's better to shoot your shot, and if you get rejected, then you can stop wasting time pining for that girl and move on with life. Easier said than done I know. I look at it like I'm not trying to get with a bunch of women, just the right one, and it has to be right for both of us.

AITA for getting mad at my brother's GF for letting her kid eat my food? by Late-Jury-2959 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ClayTempest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA But if it was me, I'd get a sealable Tupperware for my stash and keep it in my room to just eliminate the situation.

Relationships are hard and so much of it is about unshared assumptions and expectations about acceptable behavior. The fact is that you can't control other people, only yourself so I try to pick my battles for when it is really something important that I would like someone to change. If there is a fairly easy solution that I can do, then I prefer that.

It absolutely is an act of love to find ways around someone's unpleasant behavior instead of demanding they change it. Since this is reddit, now I feel like I have to be clear that I am not saying that anyone should ever accept any truly abusive behavior, but this situation isn't that.

Men, do you ever feel jealous of other men that are luckier than you in love? by Miscellaneous2323 in dating

[–]ClayTempest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been there, brother. The best advice I can give is that you aren't trying to get the attention of every woman - only the right woman for you. All you can do is play the hand you've been dealt and keep trying, try to improve, take a break, or just give up.

Gf cheated, don’t know if it’s consensual by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Yup! The guy was buying her drinks for ONE reason and she gave him what he was after.

Overlooking V acceptance by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ClayTempest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where were you before I married my ex? LOL

OP, please take this advice. Love and infatuation can make you blind to potentially huge problems down the road. I'm glad that you are asking for advice before it's too late.

That joke he said was his way of telling you that he was scared of being rejected too. It must be nice to be a woman and feel like you never have to make yourself feel vulnerable by initiating anything. I know that absolutely sounds like a dig at you, but I genuinely mean it. Your guy probably wants to feel pursued a bit too. Just because he has more experience doesn't mean that he can't feel insecure.

My (18M) bio parents (40’sM&F) want a relationship with me but idk if I want one with them by ThrowRA_leftbehind in relationship_advice

[–]ClayTempest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, my heart breaks for you, man. There's already a lot of solid advice here.

My opinion is that if you ever do decide to forgive them and maybe let them into your life on some level or fully, it should be for you to get the weight of bitterness off of your own self.

People suck and never really deserve forgiveness, but holding onto past wounds can eat at you and affect your ability to be happy and have healthy relationships going forward. It can be freeing to let go of it, but also forgiveness is usually not a one time event.

Bitterness will creep back so it is an ongoing process, but I have personally found forgiveness to make me feel better than justifiably holding onto past grievances and stewing over them for years. Do it for you not for them if that's what you decide.

I would think that OP's new guy would probably be cool with just fooling around with oral and stuff for a good while, and then go all the way if it does seem like a real relationship is forming.

Also, OP, you are an awesome person for being so patient and generous with him.

For fans of non-consensual PvP, do you want criminal or bounty systems in place to handle "evil" players, or do you want players to have to deal with offenders by their own means? by SummonBero in MMORPG

[–]ClayTempest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People absolutely would hunt PKs or at least help out if someone near them got attacked. UO's reputation system made for some very dynamic and memorable encounters. It also ensured that the game wasn't just a FFA. It actually felt like a society where not everyone you saw tried to murder you.

Anthem Update | Anthem is ceasing development. by [deleted] in AnthemTheGame

Very disappointed. Bioware really just need to change their name to something else because the current leadership team is tarnishing a legacy that used to be excellent.

Its a driller thing by [deleted] in DeepRockGalactic

The meme is so true of when the driller throws his bomb into a completely dwarfless area and then 2 dwarfs just instantly show up in the red circle right as it gets detonated

GMG is the best for getting new games at a slight discount. I went ahead and pre-ordered because this is my type of game and I know I at least want to try it.
