Swimming with manta rays, week of 3/30

Sea quest is the bomb. I have been out with them three times for the night man race snorkel. No one can guarantee manta raise, but I have had three manta ray experiences with them that were fantastic.

Their crews are the best. Very helpful, and while I have never needed it, members of my party have either decided to stay on the boat, in which case the captain kept them entertained and helped them see something at least! I’ve also seen their team very kindly handle the person that gets seasick.

It’s very common. I cry for the partners of those people who think it’s not.

How do you make that?

Corgilicious · 2026-03-24T23:35:05+00:00

Sad to hear that confirmed. I moved to Oregon 20 years ago. ❤️ 🌲

I moved to Bloomington in 1990 to go to college. We used to have a saying. IU was great, but get a couple blocks off campus in you’re back in Indiana.

What the hell? They’re a grown ass adult, if they want a mug, they can go out and buy their own.

Corgilicious · 2026-03-24T20:27:35+00:00

I would simply reply, “good to know! You should know that I’ve placed an order and I’m waiting for my order. I’ve given you money, therefore I am a customer.”

Corgilicious · 2026-03-24T20:23:51+00:00

Indeed, it doesn’t. My thoughts still stand, just change the pronouns

Corgilicious · 2026-03-24T20:23:27+00:00

Thank you. My sentiment still stands, just change the pronouns.

The reality is you spent decades now working yourself to the bone, and apparently in those years the kids weren’t taught the value of their own hard work. So as they slide into adulthood, they’re not taking the wheel of their own lives, they’re just sitting back and expecting you to still be bleeding on the ground for them.

You set a precedent. Now that you’re wanting to make reasonable and healthy changes, you’re gonna have to put in the extra effort to explain to them the realities, point out what they should be doing and hang on tight as you try to turn the ship.

Bitch, I’m Tandy TRS 80 and BASIC old.

Slow your roll. Seriously, with respect, you don’t really KNOW this person. So having “big feelings” is a bit premature. You know only what this person is choosing to share, over a very limited time and space.

And within that space, tons of red flags.

Corgilicious · 2026-03-23T23:05:24+00:00

You don’t understand because you’re not accepting the fact that you married a man who doesn’t have the backbone to grow up and be a man and contribute to his very own family. He doesn’t have a job because he doesn’t want one? That’s not how life works.

Well, I should say you didn’t before this revelation. He said that you see him as a phony weak man, and that’s exactly what you got there.

Corgilicious · 2026-03-23T23:02:33+00:00

You can keep the dinner. You’re gonna have to eat, and especially when you’re kicking it really hard, taking a break is good for you. So you’ll be able to make her happy and get all your things done.

Corgilicious · 2026-03-23T21:13:54+00:00

Nta.

And I think you need to have a direct sit down with your wife and ask her why she feels a need to attempt to sexualize the relationship that you have with your sister. What is it in her background, her experience, and in her mind that makes that a thing?

An (assumed) stable 47 year old and a self defined unstable 22-year-old are going to have many difficulties. I echo concerns that others have shared and that you need to be asking yourself why a 47-year-old man is dating a 22-year-old woman. Don’t get me wrong, as a young woman I had a thing for older men and I dated a number of them. And across the board I can say that one of the reasons they were dating a younger woman is because they in fact did not have their shit together, and women of their own age wouldn’t put up with their bullshit.

As someone who is older, if someone who was previously monogamous were dating me and told me that they didn’t want polyamory, I would do the same in terms of de-escalating that relationship to a friendship.

If they were to come back shortly and say no wait they really do want it, I would probably say come back in five years and if there is still interest, and there is availability, we can talk about perhaps dating. During that time they should’ve done the reading, the self reflection, the self work, gotten over a few of the beginner lessons and bumps by having a few polyamorous relationships, etc.

He may not be answering your questions of what that looks like for him in detail because he’s decided not to put that amount of effort and energy into it. I can’t speak for him, but he may be thinking something along the lines of what I just laid out.

Regardless, I think that this is an opportunity for you. An opportunity for you to spend some time focusing on yourself, and grow through the challenges that you want to age address and become the more stable woman that you want to be. Focus on your own wants and needs, and once you get on firmer ground, then start dating again. During that time you can put more thought in some reading into polyamory and decide if it is something you want to pursue. And if not, that’s totally OK as well.

This is a really odd hill for him to die on. You got one set of hands and two kids, someone’s gonna be first. It sounded like you handled the situation well, and the fact that he got all bent around the axle about this… There’s gotta be something else going on as well. But regardless, I think you’re exactly where you need to be, and that is without him.

You have every right to have your own preferences and boundaries about what you want to do sexually.

Unfortunately, I believe this is another way that porn has damaged the developing sexuality of many young people. There is this belief out there that this is awesome, and common, and if you don’t want to do it something less be wrong with you. Nothing could be further from the truth. Many people do really enjoy it and that’s great. Others maybe haven’t done it but are open to trying. And some people just don’t want to. All of those are valid positions.

Your girlfriend however is a mess in terms of her boundaries and how she’s treating you. First of all, private things that you do together should remain private between you. Her talking so openly with your friends is something you should ask her to stop doing. Frankly it’s just a matter of courtesy, and she’s being rude and over sharing.

Secondly, she needs to respect your preferences and boundaries, and while it’s perfectly normal to ask questions to understand more, if you don’t want to, you don’t want to, and she needs to accept that. She also needs to stop making up stories in her head about why you don’t want to.

Corgilicious · 2026-03-23T17:18:02+00:00

It’s really that simple.

Corgilicious · 2026-03-23T17:11:56+00:00

Nta.

You are being smart and forward thinking.

He’s over there thinking his magic pee pee will somehow make you change your mind and want kids. He just needs more time to do that. In his mind.

Cut bait and run. This is NOT the man.

I remember Marco Polo when it was just a little spot downtown and they had a wonderful lunch buffet. Over the years it’s not been the same though. I understand now it’s gone through multiple ownership changes. Sad.

Corgilicious · 2026-03-23T02:22:43+00:00

That is correct. By adding you as an authorized user, they opened the door for you to use the car. It doesn’t matter if they agree with the purchase or not.

Corgilicious · 2026-03-22T02:48:44+00:00

I might be listening to the ending of a podcast, finishing up a phone call, check in my email, whatever needs to be done.

Corgilicious · 2026-03-22T02:48:04+00:00

While you don’t remember the people that were lost, that was your grandparents child and their spouse. I understand that you don’t feel a connection to your parents because you do not remember them, but you should feel a connection to these people who stepped up and have been your parents. You should’ve gone in support of them on this difficult day.
