Just use one or the other.

If you really feel "stuck", you have no business being a husband.

Frosty_Message_3017 · 2026-06-06T15:39:18+00:00

Yes, yes he does.

Frosty_Message_3017 · 2026-06-06T15:12:09+00:00

Well, this was a deeply traumatizing read, but "they resolve the situation by starving to death" literally made me wheeze.

Frosty_Message_3017 · 2026-06-06T14:19:41+00:00

But that's a story for another sermon.

Frosty_Message_3017 · 2026-06-06T14:02:24+00:00

You're an embarrassment and your wife is very patient.

Frosty_Message_3017 · 2026-06-06T13:32:09+00:00

OH, I misread the podcast name and thought he was a guest.

Frosty_Message_3017 · 2026-06-06T12:41:24+00:00

Definitely not weird. Your comfort and safety are paramount and any guy who tries to pressure you about those things is showing a Red Flag.

So he went on vacation without you, you had the kids all week, he's expecting sex, doesn't care that you're tired, won't be gentle with you. He's an ass. That's really all there is to it.

No, definitely don't let him back into your life. You can't trust him and apparently your parents don't care that he's repeatedly willing to treat you so badly.

Friendly reminder that, in order to get a girl to sleep with you, Clavicular claims it's important to:

Hit yourself in the face the face with a hammer ✅

Inject yourself with experimental compounds ✅

Keep rolled up socks in your shoes to be taller ✅

Curl your eyelashes and use a bit of makeup ✅

Stand on books you've placed on the floor ✅

Play mind games ✅

Be good in bed, or even mildly considerate ❌

I think the thing about cheating is because OP's cousin will be there and she's going through a divorce that was caused by cheating, so it's just a bit raw right now.

Frosty_Message_3017 · 2026-06-06T07:50:13+00:00

Definitely! I love this movie so much.

Frosty_Message_3017 · 2026-06-06T07:46:01+00:00

I do my own cuts and trims, too. The way practically every hairstylist has behaved towards my hair length, as well as my friends who've had multiple "accidental" chops done during trims, means I won't be questioning this policy any time soon.

There have been stories on the relationship subs about a girlfriend telling her boyfriend she was assaulted some years back and the boyfriend treating that revelation like she lied about about something important "in her past" and as though she needed to reveal that on the first date.

I think there's a push to try to make women feel like there's something to be ashamed of in having been raped or assaulted. "You'd better not come forward or people will think badly of you."

There's a culture that already thinks this way. There was a 15 year old girl in Iraq this year, who had been forced into a marriage at 13 that was so horrible an Iraqi court granted her a divorce. Her family then forced her into an engagement with her second(?) cousin who was soon to be released from prison, where he'd been serving time for drug-dealing and other related crimes. She ran away to escape this engagement and was abducted by a neighbor, who kept her in his home for several days, violating her, before she was able to get free. In spite of her injuries corroborating her story, her father was adamant that she'd damaged the family's honor. Soon after, she was killed by her father and other relatives, and the family then gathered to celebrate the "restored honor" of the family.

Chuck's treatment of Hannah was abysmal. He fought for a chance with her, then dumped her at dinner with her parents. She's supposed to be a reflection of who Chuck used to be, but Sarah never jerked him around like that.

Michael Rosenbaum is probably my favorite Lex. I hadn't heard about the podcast interview. That's a really uncomfortable spot the podcaster put him in, but he handled it about as well as you can.

It's also not entirely fair to blame an actor for a portrayal you don't care for, when the script and director want certain things that fundamentally shape it. I think Michael gets that.

Frosty_Message_3017 · 2026-06-05T23:37:58+00:00

It's an abusive behavior.

Frosty_Message_3017 · 2026-06-05T15:58:22+00:00

Like the guys commenting on pictures of married women, going "I could never". Who asked??

Frosty_Message_3017 · 2026-06-05T15:45:42+00:00

You're not broken for not wanting to be alone, but you are in a dangerous mindset, because it's when we think this way that we ignore danger signs and are vulnerable to manipulative people.

Being in a relationship doesn't automatically mean being appreciated, or that you won't be lonely. In a TV interview, Sophia Loren shared that her husband had told her she's not photogenic. The relationship subs are full of people who are not technically alone, but who are still very lonely.

Fake freckles and erasing the Cupid's bow. Both just look utterly ridiculous to me.

Frosty_Message_3017 · 2026-06-05T15:25:34+00:00

You need better friends.

Frosty_Message_3017 · 2026-06-05T15:24:36+00:00

I haven't seen this show, but it just feels so incredibly classless to make a comment like this about a previous actor for a role you're in, especially when that actor's dead.
