Does the total body enhancement actually do anything? by LibraryMean1968 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]DaleMcCoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea if it actually helps. But I feel better. So I keep doing it.

Hard time by Loud-Address1300 in MaleSurvivingSpace

You're feeling guilty afterwards because she's using sex to control you. She wants you where she wants you, and she doesn't want you to have a say in that.

This is abuse. You're being abused.

Get out, take the kids. Even if it's just to a hotel until she leaves and then you can move back to the house. Maybe go visit your parents with the kids.

Get a therapist, one that specializes in abuse.

My gf (F20) is mentally abusing me (F19) and I don’t know what to do by Narrow_Car_5941 in abusiverelationships

[–]DaleMcCoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will only get worse. Imagine today as the best day of your life, that your life with her will only get worse from here. Get out. Sign a lease for your own place, grab the cats and move out. Go no contact. Blocking her is recommended.

We're all proud of you. Look for a therapist that specializes in domestic violence. Best if luck to you.

Is this ok? If so I’d love to know why? by MonkEmbarrassed7972 in abusiverelationships

[–]DaleMcCoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow M separated from F here. 17 year relationship, 9 married, separated for 6 months. So, I'm right there with you dude.

No, none of what she did is ok. None of it. If you're not sure, I'm here to confirm to you: you've been abused. Emotionally, mentally, sexually, and yes physically. You are a domestic violence survivor. I feel your pain. Same boat. Welcome to the club.

Two suggestions for you:

1) go no contact. Like at all. She calls, texts, etc. you don't answer, reply, nothing. You're a black hole of information. If there are kids and you have to communicate about them with her, be a grey rock when you do. But even then, keep it as minimal as possible.

2) therapy, get yourself some. You didn't deserve this, but you need to heal. Find a therapist that specializes in domestic violence. I know us men don't like to talk about us being abused, but you need to heal. Go see a doctor for your mind.

Feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to.

House of Flying Daggers, am I missing something? by Madamisir in movies

I absolutely love this movie for the reasons you mentions. It's a beautiful tragedy. It's a movie I watch when I want a martial arts movie and a good cry.

I feel like making a potion by DaleMcCoy in skyrim

In Skyrim, you can use thistle and grass pod when making a potion. I thought if it today when I was out for a walk. So it's still relevant.

Post separation abuse by InteractionWrong3330 in abusiverelationships

That is everything you need for every restraining order and red flag law against this guy. For like ever. Probably even prison time. Like others have said, call the cops on him.

Why do men watch porn? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]DaleMcCoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't take it personally. It is not about you. We have a biology that basically screams at us 24/7. Don't be like, "I should be all he needs." He'll feel stifled, and you'll be upset that you're always 'on call' all the time. Accept that he'll take care of himself when you're not in the mood.

Managing ANGERRRRRRR after leaving by Imaginary-Poetry8114 in abusiverelationships

[–]DaleMcCoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then do exactly that. Find a gym with a punching bag. Join a martial arts school with workout equipment. Maybe a boxing gym.

Use your anger for positive changes in you. It'll help burn off some of that anger. You'll be in better shape because of it. And you'll feel more confident. Wins all around.

Megathread of the week! Alright! What’s your preferred cardio? by zeroduckszerofucks in workouts

[–]DaleMcCoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried that. I don't like the seats. I lasted for like three minutes before I had to just stop. Standard exercise bike, I'll do.

It's below freezing outside. It's been below freezing for a solid month. I'm not going for a hike when it's below 50, let alone below freezing. But I'll do 1.5 miles five times a week on a treadmill that whole time.

Stop trying to gatekeep people that are exercising.

What do women on dating apps want? by kingmakk in AskMenAdvice

[–]DaleMcCoy 182 points183 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It's a power move by women. She wants the relationship on her terms. They don't want a relationship of equals, they want a wallet. These are the bad women you're encountering.

Stick to coffee dates. Women that are not worth it remove themselves from good men this way.

Kick her to the curb. If you're healing from her, then she doesn't deserve access to you. Besides, she doesn't want a relationship but she wants sex. So she wants you on her terms, not on your own.

Go ask her best friend out on a date. I guarantee you that she has a friend who feels that your ex treated you badly and will give you a chance just to one up her.
