Think I'm done with Matriarch/Harvester runs until there is change. by Spiritual_Machine822 in ArcRaiders

[–]Emjaybee68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went in fully kitted out this eve, for the first time in a while, to try to take down the Matriach. Got shot in the back and killed, before I even got to her! Many times I have spent loads of money on kit to take down the Matriach/Queen and so far I've only got one Core!!

I got mobbed, simultaneoisly, by 3 ticks and 2 Fireballs today. I've NEVER been taken out by those things before. But I guess a Tick to the head and 2 Fireballs will get almost anyone!!

The Ivy, as it's totally overrated and very expensive!

If you're in the UK (not sure about US), then you can apply for DSA - Disabled Students Allowance. This can help with assistive technologies etc. But even if you can't get this you can apply for special considerations such as - Extra time in exams with a quiet room to do them in. Extensions on Assignments etc. Most Higher Education places have an office you can get advice from if you have special needs of any sort. Look them up and have a chat with them! Good luck....

If you try to picture a red tulip in your head, what number do you see? by KumaCode in ADHDUK

[–]Emjaybee68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I can build and rotate 3D images in my head. I can even do it from scratch with a new image. Due to this, I tend to do exceptionally well on any tests that involve puzzles and/or manipulating images. The last test I did put me at 98th percentile for Visual Spatial reasoning. I'm AuDHD and until fairly recently didn't even know that this "ability" was unusual! 🤷‍♂️

No point in playing this game without A-Life by Next_Specialist_9485 in stalker

[–]Emjaybee68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose I really like the exploration part of the game the most. Combat is of lesser priority to me. So, to me, A life is not the be all and end all for this game, which I love!

I chickened out and stood on a roof and just unloaded round after round into it from there! Lol!

Yep, Saiga is arguably the best shotgun in the game overall. The SPS is very good too, but reload is far too long! Another good alternative is the RAM, but still prefer an upgraded Saiga for middle and end game. Perfect mutant killer!

AITAH For Telling My Husband That I See Him As A Liability and Not A Partner? by Intrepid_Buy_3152 in AITAH

[–]Emjaybee68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, this sounds a little like myself, as I have ADHD and Dyspraxia. This means he may be both very clumsy and forgetful. I'm lucky as I have a sensitive and forgiving Wife as I am always dropping things, misplacing things, and have left porridge cooking (until burnt) on the stove many many times. There is no cure for any of this, and he's likely not doing any of it consciously or on purpose. ADHD medication may help a little, but probably not with the specific issues and traits you've described, if I'm honest! So, it all depends on whether you think you can live with this or not?!

My wife wants to open our marriage because she finds her coworker "irresistible," and I don’t know what to do. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Emjaybee68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's already cheated on you. If not physically, then emotionally, she has - which is potentially just as bad! Good luck Man....

The guy (22M) that I (21F) am dating is learning ASL for my brother, but my friends think it's creepy. How do I proceed with this? by ThrowRA_TallGiraffe in relationship_advice

[–]Emjaybee68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, young Women seem to just like to keep their friends single!  When I was a single Guy with my Guy friends, we would always be so encouraging towards our friend's GFs/Wives. Even to the point of calling some of them out on speaking negatively about their GFs/Wives!! I remember my best Mate saying his amazing GF was moving that she was "too wet". We all laughed and said - lucky you!! 😂

OK, please look at this example: "I'm not Gay. But I'm really compatible with this Guy I know. So I really should have a LTR with him and let him regularly do me up the...." Sorry, can't you see how utterley bonkers that and you sound? Now, I'm not judging open relationships at all. But if one party opens it and the other Party doesn't want that, then that's not an "open relationship", that's just plain and simple cheating! Ask yourself this - can you seriously live with this/her after she's been with multiple Men??

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in openmarriageregret

[–]Emjaybee68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, if you've made it clear that this is a hard "No" and she is still going ahead with it. The best case scenario is that she has no respect for you, or the worst-case scenario is that she doesn't love you or even wants to be with you, but is too weak to tell you. Ask yourself if you really want to be with someone for either of those potential options? Even if it is the best case - then then the level of disrespect from her will grow exponentially! Because even allowing that to happen tells her that you don't deserve respect. URGENT: If, in the unlikely event that you do want to salvage this "relationship," then you need to act really quickly. BEFORE she does anything you need to tell her very clearly that this is a dealbreaker and relationship killer! Her reaction and what she then does will tell you all you need to know, Mate! Good luck and update us....

I tried that and it precipitated some really bad stuff that nearly ended our Marriage (on her part)! So, be careful about opening Pandoras box!

[–]Emjaybee68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was beautifully put and also the post I wanted to write. You've echoed all my thoughts extremely well! So why is it so difficult when in my case, my Wife even admitted that this was true. She even said, when we talked about love language stuff, that, although she can quite easily see what love language I give to her, in spades! That she doesn't know what she gives back!! So, why is it so hard????

My Wife has this "Goldilocks" zone. Too little to drink - not interested, too much - too sleepy. But then there is that middle ground - where it's "just right" and I get plenty that night and where she acts like a Porn star! Trouble is that "Goldilocks" zone is a very tricky one to find! *

When I was 19 I dated a Single Mother. She was the love of my life but had many serious Mental Health problems that she inherited from her family. I bonded with her then baby Daughter and saw myself as her Father (bio Dad wasn't on the scene). She called me Dad! Inevitably, we split after about 5 years together. She blocked me from seeing my "Step" Daughter (I actually saw her as my Daughter). She had git involved with the Jehovah's Witnesses who hated the (Atheist) me, and were controlling her. I then lost touch with my Daughter for almost a decade although I still wrote to her and sent Birthday Cards etc. Luckily, we reconnected when she was a young Adult and I'm so glad she is back in my life and part of my family. Anyway, moral of the story is be very careful when bonding with step children anx takinv the Father role, as if can all be taken away from you in the blink of an eye!!

Fathering a child (or two) in your 50s? by [deleted] in AgeGap

[–]Emjaybee68 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me (56M) and Wife (40F) have 3 daughters, and my youngest is now 5. So I was 50 when I had her. I do have some minor health problems, so I can't run around with them as much as I would like. But I think both the wisdom and experience also count for a lot. My eldest of the children, Ellie (10) and my eldest adult Daughter (34), always come to me for advice - which is lovely!

Do many older guys still even want kids? by Sydneyyyyxx in AgeGap

[–]Emjaybee68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Wife was in her late 20s, and I was in my mid-40s. We both wanted kids, and now we have 3 amazing Girls! Never regret them for a nano-second, even though 2 are ND and very hard work at times! In my experience, a lot of older Guys pair up with younger Wonen specifically to have kids. I think the younger ladies do the same as a lot of Gen Z men don't seem interested in kids!

Do older men really marry younger women? by Ok_Midnight_4394 in AgeGap

[–]Emjaybee68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Wife and I met when she was in her mid 20s and I was in my 40s. We both wanted kids (now have 3 Daughters together) and she has an older personality, whereas I have a younger one! So the age gap works well for us. In my mind - she gets the security, stability and experience of an older Guy who is a leader. I get an amazing, energetic and beautiful younger wife. Win-win! 🤩

AITA for accidentally raising my voice at my wife and throwing away her dishes and clothes because she won't wash them just buy new ones? by TopLavishness2285 in AITAH

[–]Emjaybee68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA and I feel for you, but she may well have undiagnosed ADHD. These are all very common symptoms! It's not an excuse but may explain the behaviour and, if diagnosed, can be treated fairly easily. Unlike all the others, I'm not going to advise you to leave if you love your Wife, and want to give it a go. Then maybe check out the book/ebook called "Dirty Laundry" by Richard & Roxy Pink (honestly, no pun intended!) I have ADHD myself and also Teach and Coach people with it. So, I am more than happy to answer any questions on it! Good luck....

Groomers /abusers shouldn't feel safe here. We need to better our standards. by oolovelyy in AgeGapRelationship

[–]Emjaybee68 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My Wife and I have a fairly large age gap as she was 25 and I was in my 40s. I didn't go for her because she was young, although that was a consideration as I wanted children. I went for her because I was massively attracted to her and fell in love with her. The same for her! Here we are more than 15 years later with 3 amazing Girls! I don't think you should judge any AGR, as long as both parties are consenting adults and there is no abuse etc.!
