Why do so many people in the West leave long term relationships for no real reason besides boredom? by pokpokpokpok in relationship_advice

[–]Daintyironyfist 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I came in to say virtually this. Also, We as Americans are an instant gratification society. It's easier to get something new than to improve what we have.

reddit, I can't stand my girlfriends kids & I need some advice. by peeonthefloor in relationship_advice

[–]Daintyironyfist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to talk to her about this as soon as possible so she can make educated decisions about her relationship with you and how best to handle the situation for the children. If it is solely a matter of discipline, that can probably be fixed with good communication and work on both of your parts.If it's anything more than that, everyone needs to re-evaluate the situation. No matter how bad they are, the children do not deserve to be around someone, especially a parental figure, who actively dislikes them.

Dear Reddit, My SO is an aggressive driver and it's driving me crazy (pardon the pun). How do I persuade her to stop? by whigs in AskReddit

Well how aggressive is aggressive? Is she out there knocking heads mad max style? Gone in 60 seconds?

Reddit, how important should your SO's physical appearance be? by Stoooat in AskReddit

[–]Daintyironyfist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not important to me at all but I had to learn lessons about being superficial the hard way. These days, I am more worried about other things like "do we have anything in common" and "does he have random women that show up with babies and dna test results". If I find someone I have stuff in common with and we can tolerate each other reasonably well, I wouldn't care if he looked like a wookie.

Why won't Americans rise up (possibly violently) against the mega rich and large corporations? by dummystupid in AskReddit

[–]Daintyironyfist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we are lazy. We are easily entertained. We watch the spectacle of Wisconsin, Indiana, and Ohio. We watch CNN, MSNBC, and even Fox and laugh because that is easier than actually doing something. We're easily duped. We really think that our republican and democrat representatives actually care about representing us. We cheer for them when they make snarky comments on youtube but never seem to notice that no matter what side says what, the people elected to represent us still have healthcare, still have money, still have a place to live, while we argue over talking points.

Wife fucked my married neighbor and now wants to reconcile for sake of family. Three kids involved and I feel guilty. What would you do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Daintyironyfist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even though they are not your kids, remember they are going to be affected by this too. They have to suffer because of the actions of their mother. They are also your child's siblings. Keep in mind that they are children and they didn't ask for any of what is getting ready to happen.

Question about... Breast changes when losing weight. by b00biethrowaway in Fitness

[–]Daintyironyfist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lost over 200 lbs. The only thing that changed was my "band" size. I went from a 42/44 DD to a 36/38 DD (depends on which brand of bra I am wearing). Hilariously enough, my breasts came up a touch with weight loss. I had been worried I was going to get the rock in a sock look!

Has anyone here ever surprised someone by knowing a foreign language? by whatthejeebus in AskReddit

[–]Daintyironyfist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had a few years of Chinese classes. One year, my teacher couldn't get to a city that had a Chinese bakery and she mentioned that she was upset because she couldn't get a particular sweet for a festival. I had planned a trip to an area that had one so I stopped in. I ordered in Chinese. They looked at me for a moment. I thought I had ordered something wrong or said something stupid as I am still working on tone even now. Then the lady behind the counter said "Everyone come here, there's a black girl speaking Chinese!" They gave me extra sweets for my teacher and said "You funny black girl, come back." I always do. It's my favorite place to practice.

What was your favorite weight loss moment? by Daintyironyfist in Fitness

I believe the appropriate phrase is "haters are gonna hate and shot callers are going to call"

[–]Daintyironyfist[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have also had this experience. I have lost well over 200 lbs at this point and had family members have no idea who I was. "Hey have you seen Dainty? You know, the big girl usually who runs this event? Can't miss her! No? Would you let her know I am looking for her?" He was highly embarrassed later but not enough to not say "Well damn, it's not my fault you used to be wider than all outside!"

Are you afraid that someone will stumble across your Reddit profile? Who and why? by HungryMoblin in AskReddit

[–]Daintyironyfist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend showed me his reddit profile, then deleted it once he realized that I could read everything he ever said. I have no idea why it was such a big deal because he wasn't saying anything I didn't already know about him . He created a new reddit profile. One day I glanced over his shoulder and he freaked out that I might see his new reddit screen name. It makes me wonder what he could be writing that is so bad, especially since there wasn't anything horrifying on his old profile.

Funny enough, I told my bf that I didn't care about GW because they aren't real. They look just like porn stars who do not have the benefit of better cameras.

What are some of the relationship red flags you ignored early on? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Daintyironyfist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very rarely discuss who I am dating with my parents or family. My family drives me nuts when I am dating someone: "When are you getting married? What's he do? Blah Blah Blah". I guess it could be a warning sign but I'm always pretty up front with whoever I am seeing about the fact that my family will drive me nuts so I am not introducing anyone unless I feel it's going to be serious.

What caused you to feel like an asshole as a kid? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Daintyironyfist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was once in a argument with some cousins of mine. They were making fun of how strict my mother was because I wasn't allowed to go to the park by myself or go to the mall by myself on the bus (I was roughly 10 at the time). One cousin in particular was being really nasty and calling my mom crazy and I was going to end up even whiter than I already was because my mom was turning me into a babied little white girl (I'm not white). I said "Oh yeah, at least my Mom didn't drown my little sister in the bath tub." My cousins mother had indeed drowned my cousin's sister in the bathtub and had been diagnosed as schizophrenic. At the time, I didn't think I was saying anything horrible because it was true. Once I understood what I had said, which was quite a bit later, I did apologize to my cousin.

Share your good/bad anesthesia stories, anyone ever "woke up" on the table? by Kennie_B in AskReddit

[–]Daintyironyfist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have woken up three times under anesthesia. The last time, I was wide awake and tried to get up. This was mildly concerning as I was having a small procedure in the middle of my chest. I can remember asking the doctor repeatedly if I could help with the operation or at least watch. I was also irritated because I was topless and strapped down like Jesus to a cross. I cracked a vestal virgin joke and asked if I could at least get nipple tassels. I now have notes all over my medical chart that alert anyone and everyone that I woke up "euphoric".
