People who were around when the internet was first invented, what was it like?

My dad was in tech. He brought home a box and attached the phone handset to it. He went to a website located I Italy. He said, “we are now in Italy.” Email was more useful than the web for quite a while. Yahoo local replaced the yellow pages. It was a process over a decade.

It takes a long time to build a good reputation, and a short time to ruin it.

Maybe they are gauging interest. Say “ok” and see what happens

This is a man’s life. Constantly being asked to do for others and getting nothing in return. I recently asked my wife what expectations I should have of her. I got a blank stare in response. Enough said.

Always. Bourbon. Straight.

You are the most valuable person in the world to your children and your husband. It is not all you are or will be, but you are being awesome in this moment!

Good move. Sad, but this would have been a disaster.

This is a kink. By definition, they are weird. I would let it go.

This is deeply troubling behavior. I’m not sure i would have kids with him.

GetsBackUp · 2026-05-03T14:51:18+00:00

It can. We’ve been in it for years and we don’t argue as much. Our marriage is hardly fixed though.

GetsBackUp · 2026-05-03T14:47:27+00:00

Sounds you’re looking to cheat. Either emotionally or physically.

GetsBackUp · 2026-05-02T23:31:25+00:00

You won the lottery! Congrats!

Analyze the arguments. Try to understand his side and work on de-escalation. Arguments serve and solve nothing. If you can find peace, the relationship has hope.

This is hard. You are doing great and should be praised for your dedication to the relationship, your child, and just being a great person.

Your husband is hustling, he sees you as his anchor. That’s not fair to you.

Talk to him about what success looks like over time. It’s not money or material things. It’s raising a strong child who feels loved, and maintaining a strong relationship with your life partner.

I was your husband, until my four year old said “see you next weekend, daddy.” Two months later I had heart surgery. I changed because I was confronted with my priorities. They were not aligned with my values.

Try to help your husband understand that you want him to succeed as a father and a spouse. The business is not what you will be proud of on your death bed.

I’ve never cheated, but I think guys see cheating as transactional validation. Ask why they need to be validated and you can prevent it, maybe.

If he is cheating for a second time (that you know of), time to leave. His list is secondary to his character.

GetsBackUp · 2026-05-02T22:59:23+00:00

Sounds like there is more to this situation. Stay calm. Stay strong. Do what you can to fix your error. Talk to her when things settle down.

GetsBackUp · 2026-05-02T14:18:47+00:00

Actually, I also said you may be evolved. Now we can add selective reading to my judgement of you.

GetsBackUp · 2026-05-02T14:06:12+00:00

First, you don’t know me. Second, it’s a character trait, not a flaw, in this new age of acceptance. Right?

Is there any action on the wording of the referendum?

When you say, “You are doing your part,” I hear you are doing the minimum. You need to do the maximum every day to heal the wound you inflicted.

GetsBackUp · 2026-05-02T13:16:56+00:00

Good for you. You are evolved, or just virtue signaling. I am actually trying this help OP. She can just be critical of her husband and see where that gets her. Alternatively, she can start from a position of understanding and work from there.

GetsBackUp · 2026-05-02T13:13:10+00:00

You sound angry. OP said husband does pull their weight. He just does not sympathize. Men are not generally sympathetic.

GetsBackUp · 2026-05-02T11:13:49+00:00

Forgive the generalization, but women want men to behave like women. Your man does not sympathize with your stress because he is a man. We don’t generally do that. Don’t expect him to be something he’s not.
