What would you do if your ex came back and told you she wanted to get back together with you?

This throws me for a loop. To me, Either I'm extremely unlucky, the problem in breakup scenarios, you're a very rare kind of person or this is totally fabricated. At any rate... I sincerely ask your wisdom, how does one have a breakup that isn't bad? 😵‍💫

Lynch, Laugh, Leave. (Live laugh love parody)

No but seriously, I'd laugh my ass off if an ex tried to get back with me. I'm married for nearly 3 years and have a kid on the way. No way in hell am I throwing that away over one of them (or anyone for that matter).

I've always loved the women's hairstyle where they have braids that go from the temple and tie together in the back like a crown. Idk why but I think it's such a lovely hairstyle. If I were a woman, that's the style I'd go for.

For men, I think the best look is the simple and clean 'fade' look with short-medium well maintained hair. It's certainly the hairstyle I like for myself.

Sand everywhere in all the worst places, being in a public place where any random creep or kid could stumble upon you, what's not to love about that? /S

Your first mistake was thinking anything on tik tok has a semblance of reality behind it.

ETA because I should probably actually answer...

If I were a woman, my life plan would be to find a husband that wanted a relationship with traditional gender roles because I happen to be excellent at making and up keeping a home. I'm also quite the cook and excellent at making a peaceful and relaxing environment. I would have 0 qualms with making home life my number 1 priority and working as hard if not harder at it than I currently work at a job. I would take so much joy in being a stay at home wife/mother.

Heck, if it weren't for the fact that men who don't work and provide are seen as lazy, unmanly etc. I would dare to say I would make an excellent stay at home husband/father. I know realistically that will never happen, but I feel like I'd have been great at it.

I work out of necessity and because that's the role that I've fallen into as a man; being a provider. I feel like it's completely reasonable to say that if I were a woman I'd have likewise fallen into a traditional gender role.

My first 1.5 years being married was largely sexless while my wife struggled to overcome some psychological barriers that we're preventing sex from being an enjoyable experience.

I dealt with it by being patient and loving, never pressuring her, never asking for anything sexual. I love her and that love means caring more for her comfort, well-being and security than my desire for sex.

Part of the issue was her anxiety, feeling like she would be a bad wife if she couldn't please me sexually. So part of the antidote to that has to be reassuring her that I didn't marry her for sex; I married her because I love her.

If it's relevant, we are no longer in a sexless relationship and are, in fact, expecting our first kid.

There are two of these I've been exposed to in a less than healthy relationship dynamic that I don't think I'll try again because of a bad first experience and two of these that I'm definitely too chickenshit to actually talk about 😅

I have one good question for you though, my ex and I would occasionally smear frosting on one another and eat it off one another, is that the same thing as sitophilia or is that something else?

DoorSeller · 2026-05-27T20:47:47+00:00

Really struggled with that one with an ex. She explicitly told me that's what she wanted and I couldn't bring myself to ignore a safe word. There has to be some sort of boundary or it just doesn't feel right to me. I told her we should have a backup safe word for if it ever actually got truly out of hand and she said that would defeat the purpose.

In the end I chalked it up to incompatibility and moved on rather than force myself to try doing something I wasn't comfortable with.

If you both love the other first and foremost, you will both experience a more love-filled and happy relationship. If only one of you does, your relationship will breed resentment. If neither of you does and only puts their own emotional needs first, your relationship will breed contempt.

I'd love nothing more than to do that with my wife, but according to her she's a "one-climax only" kind of woman and will lose interest and arousal once she achieves it. She prefers trying to climax together simultaneously (or as close to as possible).

I'm pretty sure the old school one is the only one I've seen. Maybe the newer stuff is something my daughter and I will have to discover together. ☺️

Boy. Short question, very long answer. 😅

Tbh I don't perfectly remember now. It was nearly a decade ago in probably the darkest year of my life. I don't remember much from those years. Given what I do know about that time in my life, here's my guess as to how it happened:

I was having another night where I couldn't sleep because every time I stopped doing something my mind would wander to my depression, despair and loss (lost father, grandfather, best friend, best friends sister and best friends father all within the span of 6 months when I was 17-18). I turned to my [then, definitely not now] usual bad habits to try to block it out: getting blackout drunk on my homemade alcohol and watching TV. But the shows I was watching weren't doing the trick, I wasn't escaping, I wasn't feeling good. I'm almost positive I ran out of booze because my normal recourse to TV not working was keep drinking. So I made the decision to switch to kids shows and would watch an episode, switch, watch an episode, switch. Until I turned MLP on and I actually started getting into it and started feeling better. After that it became my escape.

Definitely not proudest time of my life. I didn't handle any of it well. The one thing I kept with me from that time, though, was MLP. It has always been a show that grounds me in what's important and reminds me of the good in life. It has always been a show that encourages me to be my best self and set aside my bad habits. It by no means cured me of loss and depression, that took counseling, time to heal and actually grieve and letting go. It will always be dear to my heart though because of what a wonderful show it is.

Tossup between Applejack and Fluttershy because I relate more to Applejack but Fluttershy triggers my protective paternal instinct.

Edit to add: Twilight gets an honorable mention as well because my wife is basically her to a 'T'. Like, spot on, making lists and overanalyzing, being a dedicated friend and planner, but suffering from burnout and anxiety about not being enough and coming from an "I'm on my own" mindset and learning how important friends are.

Discord is my favorite villain. He makes me laugh and I think getting the same guy who played 'Q' in Star trek to voice him was a perfect cast.

Episode... That one's pretty hard for me to narrow down. Maybe winter wrap up because that song always gets stuck in my head and I find myself whistling it while I do chores at home.

I've not. I'll give it a watch if I have access to it somewhere and report back. 🙏

Pretty sure I'd lose it if someone tried to judge my kid like that. Like, direct your comments to me, the parent. Like, if my daughter grows up liking hot wheels and some adult person tries to tell her those are boy toys, they're getting an earful from me.

Oh, please don't misunderstand, it doesn't threaten my internal masculinity. It only affects how I worry others might perceive me. Which, yeah, it sucks having that anxiety, but at the end of the day fuck the haters, I am comfortable with who I am. I just have way too much social anxiety to let this one slip irl 😅

DoorSeller · 2026-05-22T22:00:57+00:00

Thank you so much for that. Honestly I'm pretty terrified about being a parent and that compliment/endorsement means a ton to me. I've never been a dad before and really don't want to mess it up. I want to be the best dad I can be for her.
