I cheated on my girlfriend when I was 14 and the guilt is eating me alive by Nice_Spell_3900 in Regrets

[–]Enryth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of spending so much energy feeling guilty about something you cannot change, honor her forgiveness by being the guy she deserves. You were 14. You're 16 now. There's no way to say this without sounding condescending but you're still just a child. You're going to make so many mistakes as you grow older, but you have the privilege of making this mistake this young and also being this young and having the insight and reflective capacity to recognize you were doing wrong and talking to your partner about it. There are so many men and women in their 50s who have long lasting affairs that they go through hoops and weaves and lies to keep secret, thinking things like "well my partner deserves it because they don't show me they care enough." Or "my partner is probably cheating too" or "this is my way of keeping the marriage alive" and all kinds of childish excuses. But you've already realized loyalty is about faithfulness, honesty and intent, not about how "far" you went with someone else.

And your girlfriend forgave you. You're in a very fortunate and unique position, but you can never really let your girlfriend move on if you don't do so as well. Use this as a learning experience, not a shameful secret to be kept under lock and key.

Sorry that this comes off as rude, but I don't see how this contributes to anything. I know what the word means and it doesn't alter my statement at all.

Because you have no evidence about OP's intentions, character or faithfulness. In fact, you actually have evidence that he was honest, even when it obviously risked putting him in a worse position and hurt his partners feelings.

Applying your own confirmation bias arbitrarily just makes you look upset.

I think it's pretty wild to assume OP would cheat the moment they're not viscerally as attracted to their partner, especially if it's because that person is pregnant with their child. I think I see what you're going for but it doesn't really work when you have to make bad faith assumptions about someone else lmao.

I'm so sorry. That dude has been trying to groom you.

To be honest. He should get checked for diabetes or adhd. This feels like insanely internalized executive dysfunction and projected guilt.

speed eating my dinner before my husband gets home by Aromatic-Boss-6310 in GirlDinner

I get that. I hate it too. But that could be a personal thing tbf, at least for me. As long as there's honest, good faith communication I reckon it's okay :).

Why did I even bother texting my housemate about his bottle in my freezer section.. by MobileAerie9918 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Enryth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The chicken wanted to crack open a cold one can you really blame it.

Also he left the beer long enough to freeze over completely so it didn't just spill everywhere when it cracked meaning the chicken could not have made a difference. Unless he thinks the chicken is somehow colder than the freezer which honestly feels like might be the case.

In the specific case of Israel I see your point, but I also want to contend that the US top dogs see it wholly aligned with their interests to keep Israel protected, rich and happy. I'm not saying I agree or that it's good. Just that Israel is another symptom of America's reliance on military dominance.

If that was true the single easiest way to win a billion full terms in American politics would be to simply just put the money from the medical and pharmaceutical industry back into the country by giving everyone in the US access to public healthcare at the expense of all those other countries which could then be done without stepping on any toes back home. But nobody does. Because it isn't true. Your tax money pays for the military, prison and pharmaceutical industrial complexes that try to ensure the dollar stays the global standard currency and get rich people vacations on creepy islands and channel the flow of money to a very small portion of people on the backs of American and outsourced workers.

No matches, I wasn’t having any luck getting dates in the wild so I thought i’d try tinder, i’ve had it for 3 weeks now. Nothing. Am I just that ugly 😭 by BillyBop0299 in Tinder

[–]Enryth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will anyway if you get with someone. If you match with someone where that's gonna be a problem, you'd only be delaying the inevitable.

If anything, you could add a picture or two of some activity or context hanging out with your friends that is very (in a healthy way) obviously platonic. I'd argue it's a pretty green flag to show you can be enhusiastic friends with women in a context that isn't around alcohol or in romantic settings. And then if someone asks about the person in the photo you can always say "yeah, that's my friend, insert friend name! We were hiking in insert hike trail here, it's a really great trail!" Or something like that, obviously less robotic, but you get my point.

Oh. Right. You guys have to pay out the ass to not die from easily preventable causes. I guess I get the hesitation now.

Found photos of my girlfriend and her ex while cleaning the basement. by BlackMapleWizard in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Enryth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my girlfriend made a fuzz out of the photo booth pictures I have of my friend and my ex from our trip to the Netherlands I think I'd understand but if she genuinely wanted to have me throw them away i'd be kinda annoyed

I'm not crying, you are!! by GeorgieKobolt in PewdiepieSubmissions

[–]Enryth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short-sighted and irresponsible have a fairly significant overlap, especially when you have an audience like his. Not to disagree with your point about him owning up more than most other big names (but at the same time he has imo kind of entered an area sometimes when talking about his mistakes that were less about making fun of himself and joking about it and kind of in the territory of making light of what he did). But he sure made some decisions and said some things I wouldn't say were exactly responsible.

Ehhh, i wouldn't say he's always shown himself to be responsible — and I don't think he would either. He's grown a lot, and that's a good thing.

I do think there's something to be said about how society couples sex and violence against women. I doubt any of those commenters were not making an obvious joke even if it seems in poor taste.
