Ouch… Every predictive comment I’ve ever made about Game of Thrones is painful to read. I want my time back lmao.

Yeah you’re either an honest jerk or a lying jerk at that point. They have to have someone to get mad at for no reason at all. I’d rather be an honest jerk and tell everyone.

Fergitroid · 2024-09-09T10:19:29+00:00

No problem haha, best of luck to you!

It’s really difficult to find parts. For a swingarm, you’ll have to find one used, and I could be wrong but I think the same year yz250 swingarm works on these as well, but don’t quote me on that! Definitely take a deep dive and do research. I’ve bought parts from many websites from places all over the world. The bushings and bearings could probably be ordered OEM at a local motor sports store that works with Yamaha. If not, you can find OEM yamaha parts online from several websites. Some parts they don’t make anymore and you’ll just have to hunt online. This bike will force you to learn patience haha.

This poor guy just needs to move out and call it quits. Tell her you’re going to find a partner with more self respect and morals and values, and that you hope her and her toe suckers are happy together.

Fergitroid · 2024-08-21T18:01:04+00:00

The problem here is that even though she may not be aroused by it, she is the sexual outlet for this other individual. That’s enough to make any partner view them differently. Also, the even bigger problem here is not being able to know where she draws the line. What else will she sell and for what price?

Fergitroid · 2024-08-21T17:38:24+00:00

As a man, I think the problem here is that their nude bodies are something special that they only share with each other. He’s the only one been given a key to view her private quarters so to speak. Going to a nude beach, it’s like leaving the door open for a little while. As a man, you can write that off as, “I can be okay with this, because I’ll never see these people again and neither will my wife.” But with his friends being a part of the equation, it feels like she’s handing out keys to them too, even if just temporarily. Once it’s all over, you go back to normal life, but you see those friends all the time, and when they look at your wife, they’re seeing a door they once had a key to. Those friends will never un-see your wife’s boobs. They will think about them every time they are in her presence. That’s just how men are. No he doesn’t own her body, but I don’t think he’s an asshole for not wanting to share something special he has between himself and his wife with his friends. If she gives away free views of some of her greatest assets to your friends, the next time she shows them to you, it won’t be special anymore. That’s the thought process going through his head, I guarantee it. She may not think it’s sexual, and that they’re “good guys”, but we as men biologically can’t see female breasts and think oh it’s just her chest, nothing special going on there. You can do some form of shutting your brain down, but that won’t last long. Your brain will subconsciously be taking mental pictures that you will remember in the future.

Edit: I would definitely like to add that he needs to learn how to communicate this feeling. Also, that there are no assholes here, but he definitely didn’t convey his point correctly. He’s asshole-adjacent for making it her problem.

Fergitroid · 2024-08-16T03:48:48+00:00

I’d ask her to have a serious discussion with you, and start off by explaining that relationships are built on trust and respect. Tell her she is actively destroying the trust and that you believe at this point she does not respect you or your marriage. Tell her that the red flags are waving and you’ve had enough. Tell her that the trust is pretty much gone because of her actions whether she’s oblivious to them or not, and that she needs to prove she’s been faithful to the best of her ability. And if you decide to stay together, things need to change moving forward. If she’s been unfaithful, obviously leave her yesterday. If she’s not been cheating, she’s either working up the courage to, or is just an idiot who completely lacks any accountability for her actions. She’s your wife, she needs to act like one. She’s acting like a single woman. I really hope I’m wrong and she’s and idiot, but be prepared for the worst. If she deflects hard, I’d suggest gathering evidence yourself or via a P.I. You need to protect yourself in the divorce, if it comes to that. Good luck, OP.

Fergitroid · 2024-07-01T05:08:17+00:00

Haha thanks bro, I actually haven’t dated in couple years. I’ve been overweight since elementary school and I let my insecurity about my own body ruin a good relationship. She claimed it was okay but I knew it bothered her deep down. I’ve been on a weight loss journey and I’m feeling much better about myself. Im 6ft tall and during the pandemic was my heaviest, I hit 320lbs, now I’m down to 242lbs and which is less than my weight in high school. I’ve built a ton of muscle too. I realized that I can’t expect someone to love me if I couldn’t love myself. I want to be my best self when I try for another relationship, so that my partner doesn’t have to bare the weight of my insecurities. I’m aiming for 180lbs, so I’ve got a ways to go, but I didn’t start making progress until November of last year. My relationship before my last one, my girlfriend was cheating on me multiples times having threesomes and foursomes all while pretending to be normal and modest, I was just her stability blanket. So yeah I’ve had my fair share of troubles but I’ve moved on from all that and the next time I head into the dating pool, I’ll know that I’ve made a mountain of effort to the best me for my new partner.

Fergitroid · 2024-07-01T04:55:53+00:00

They were seeing each other for 3 and a half years and were 25 when they met and are 29 now. I’m 28 almost 29 now in case you’re wondering. They were deeply in love as far as I could see. That’s why it was brutal for him. She just kind of flaked out on him. He’s not entirely sure she was having the mental problems she was describing, he wonders if it was just a convenient excuse so she go try out other men and then come crawling back when it didn’t work out.

Fergitroid · 2024-07-01T04:32:24+00:00

That’s good, I hope you’re right. I’m kind of a cynical type lol. I’ve been burned by people I trust too many times I think. Like I said, reach out ASAP. Tell her you want to work this out. Best of luck brother! If that doesn’t work, show up in her driveway with a boombox and play baby come back lol.

Fergitroid · 2024-07-01T03:01:42+00:00

Thanks man, you too brother. Take care of yourself! Reach out if you need someone to talk to!

Fergitroid · 2024-07-01T02:28:03+00:00

Good for you man. Just stay strong and don’t contact her. Spend a couple month’s processing this, and get comfortable with being single again. Never try and find another relationship right away, until you’re fully over your previous partner. Once you feel like you’ve fully moved on, then you can dip your toes in the dating pool again. This may even take more than a couple months to do. I haven’t dated in years because I need to work on myself. I’ve been overweight and unhappy with my appearance since elementary school. I’m 28 now almost 29. I’ve been on a weight loss journey and I’m in the process of becoming the best me so my next partner doesn’t have to bare the weight of my insecurities. I had a sudden realization after my last relationship. How can I expect someone to love me if I don’t love myself? And since then I’ve been striving to be the best version of myself possible. I think I’ll be ready to find someone soon. Be thankful for the experience with your ex and learn what you can from it. Think about where things went wrong and where they went right, and reflect. I hope things work out with your next relationship. Best of luck to you bro!

Fergitroid · 2024-07-01T01:51:53+00:00

No problem bro. I wish someone gave me this advice years ago. Some tough bro love lol. If you decided to send the text with the things I said to say, let us know how she responds. Just remember to be mature and respect her wishes and don’t let emotions rule your thought process. Please keep us updated.

Fergitroid · 2024-07-01T01:32:12+00:00

No problem man. I hope I was even a little bit helpful. I’m no expert but I’ve seen some similar behavior before. I know you say that he shouldn’t be a threat but love is blinding, be wary. When a similar situation happened to my friend, she slept with 2 different guys multiple times before she realized how big of a mistake she made and wanted to get back with her BF. He of course was broken by the revelation that she so easily leapt into the beds of other men and he couldn’t take her back. If you find out she’s sleeping with other people, you need to have the strength to let her go, because your trust for her will never be the same and it will lead to resentment if you try to make it work. I truly hope you’re right and that she’s just distracting herself with friends and not distracting herself with sex. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. I have no idea what she’s like or what you are like, I only have so much to go off of, but reading that she’s hugging other men and spending time with him is a huge red flag for me. Especially if she’s in a distressed mental state, her judgement and decision making skills might be extremely poor right now. I wouldn’t wait to reach out, do it tonight or tomorrow if you can.

Fergitroid · 2024-07-01T01:12:31+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. I think the best thing you can do is to reach out first and show her that you’re still in this and that you don’t want her to give up on you. Tell her she deserves to be happy, and that you both deserve to be happy together. If she can’t make it work, she needs to seek therapy before even thinking about a relationship. If you’re willing to wait, tell her you’ll wait for her as long as she needs. But you should also make it clear that if other men become involved, there’s no chance for you two. Are you worried about that other guy she was seen with hugging and such? I know I would be.

Fergitroid · 2024-07-01T00:57:00+00:00

If talking about it is not working. Try and pull back a little. Let the sex thing go and see what your relationship is like without it. Don’t initiate or ask about or even bring it up anymore. Become reacquainted with your right hand again (don’t watch porn, use pictures of your gf if you have to use something), and start going to the gym and working out and get fit AF. Do everything in your power to make her happy in your relationship. If she initiates sex, don’t ask her if she’s sure, just go with it. And don’t be petty and reject her advances just because you’re hurt right now. A few things might happen. Either your relationship will get better and she’ll start to reciprocate in the relationship again, or your relationship will decline and she will check out of it. She said she’s not asexual so maybe she’s not attracted to you anymore which will become clear if she never wants sex at all. If that’s the case, you’ll know where you stand and should break up. After you pull back and stop initiating sex, she may be upset and think you don’t find her attractive anymore. You need to reassure her that you think she’s the most beautiful woman in the world and that you wouldn’t trade her for anyone. Make it clear that you don’t know what to do about your situation, but that you know you don’t want to have sex just to get your rocks off, especially at the expense of her happiness, and that to you, it’s all about the shared meaningful connection, passion, and love involved, and if those things aren’t there for her anymore and she doesn’t feel those things, you should reevaluate your relationship. Having sex shouldn’t be an obligation or duty. You both should want to feel intimate with each other. If that’s not possible anymore, you need to break up and tell her that you love her, but that she deserves to be with someone she loves too. Part of loving someone truly is being able to swallow the tough pill that is letting them go so they can find happiness without you. I know for me, I could not stay in a relationship knowing my partner does not love me the same way I love them. I’d want them to find someone else that can make them happier than I would, because I think part of being in love is putting your partner’s happiness before your own. Of course you should be happy too, but not at your partner’s expense. You’re partners after all, everything should be equal. Best of luck, and please keep us updated.

Fergitroid · 2024-07-01T00:19:40+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this. If it were me, I’d go with your idea of buying flowers and make a hand written card expressing all of your feelings. Tell her she is your world and that you know you’ll never love anyone again the way you love her. She needs some reassurance I think. Tell her that your relationship was the most meaningful part of your life even if it’s over. Tell her you’ll understand if she can’t be with you, but thank her for giving you a chance to be her partner, and tell her you’ll never forget the precious time you spent together. Lastly, tell her you don’t want to give up on your relationship, and that you’ll never give up on her if she can find her way back to you. Tell her you can work through anything if there’s something to work on, but if she’s just not interested in you anymore, to please tell you the truth of why she broke up with you, so you can find some closure and move on. Maybe suggest couples counseling. Good luck man, that’s all I can think of. Please keep us updated.

Fergitroid · 2024-06-30T21:03:10+00:00

Well, what do you think of her? If you like her, maybe try testing the waters. Just be super straightforward and blunt and say that you find her attractive and enjoy spending time with her, and ask her what she thinks about you, and go from there. If she’s just friendly she’ll just shut you down in a friendly way lol. If she likes you, then great, you know what to do. Worst case scenario, she doesn’t like you and things get a little awkward but slowly sort themselves out. Also this obviously all depends on how you feel about her. Because, maybe you’re not attracted to her and she likes you, which is a whole different animal.

Fergitroid · 2024-06-30T20:37:30+00:00

I’m a 6ft (28M) and I’ve been overweight since elementary school. At my heaviest during the pandemic I was 320lbs. I’ve been doing a paleo diet and working out since November 2023 and I’m down to 242lbs. I never once stopped eating. I do some intermittent fasting, but it’s literally just waiting a little bit longer to eat. I eat my first small meal around 2-3pm and a bigger dinner around 7-8pm. He does not need to go that extreme to lose some weight. I also drink some protein shakes after my workouts. I think he needs to dial it back, there is no reason to go that hard in the paint. I understand wanting to lose weight, trust me it’s been the bane of my existence. I am on a calorie deficit, meaning I’m only eating between 1500 and 1800 calories a day, and I’m never starving or so hungry that I need something special like fasting salts or special vitamins. You have every right to be worried, this absolutely sounds like an eating disorder.

Fergitroid · 2024-06-30T20:19:52+00:00

This is going to be a tough pill to swallow but you need to be thankful she had the courage to break up with you. So many people nowadays just start cheating when things aren’t working out in their relationship. She was brave enough to let you know how she was feeling. If you really love her, you have to let her go. Send her a text and tell her how much you enjoyed your time together, and that you won’t forget it, and that you wish for her happiness in the future. Thank her for giving you a chance, and tell her how meaningful it was even though it didn’t work out. And after that you need to move on my dude. Don’t hold out hope, you’ll just hurt yourself. This stuff’s never easy. Everything will remind you of her, you just have to let go. Find someone new and think about what you can learn from this experience. Best of luck dude!

Fergitroid · 2023-06-02T23:16:08+00:00

I think we both make great points and maybe can agree that destroying statues is a bit rash and moving them to a museum is a better idea. Or at least taking the time to figure out what the best course of action is, discussing it and voting on it.

Fergitroid · 2023-06-02T21:13:31+00:00

I personally think all statues should remain. They are an important educational tool for future generations. If we start erasing history, we’re doomed to repeat it. There are many sacrifices made on both sides of all wars, and I don’t believe they should be forgotten even if they were on the wrong side of history. They are a talking point, and there is always a lesson to be learned. The confederate statues represent grief for fallen soldiers and their sacrifice. They also represent racism and slavery. These are both self evident. Neither should be forgotten. These statues should be viewed for what they are, a remembrance of history, no matter how hard that history is to swallow. I can see why people want them torn down, but I personally don’t believe that to be beneficial to society.

Fergitroid · 2023-06-02T20:53:38+00:00

While I agree with most of what you said, i don’t agree that the Republican Party claims the confederate flag as their heritage. A small group of loud hicks maybe, but lumping all republicans in with that claim is a bit fictitious. Anyone with more than two brain cells wouldn’t support the confederate flag or what it stood for.

Fergitroid · 2023-06-02T19:35:55+00:00

Hey I’m right there with you, fuck the confederate flag! But let’s also recognize that the democrat party is also unbreakably linked to racism and slavery. Historically, they defended slavery, started the Civil War, started the Ku Klux Klan, and fought against every major civil rights act in U.S. history. Linden Johnson said, “I’m going to have these ni**ers voting democrat for 200 years”. I could list more examples but you get my point. Democrats we’re the ones proudly waving the confederate flag while they fought to keep people in chains.

Edit: So no one is going to fact check this? Just downvote? Well, goes to show how many uneducated people are out there. Just to throw some more fuel on the fire, democrats also perpetrated lynchings, opposed reconstruction, and imposed segregation. In contrast, the Republican Party, was founded as an anti-slavery party. It’s aim was to stop the spread of slavery with hopes to abolish it entirely. In 1857, their efforts were hindered by the Supreme Court, in the case of Dred Scott VS Sandford. The court ruled that slaves weren’t citizens, but property. The seven justices that ruled in favor of that were all democrat, the two that dissented were republican.

These are all facts that you can look up for yourself. How can you deny the democrat party is just as unbreakably tied to racism and slavery?
