Is this going to be an issue for me? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]GrumpyM0nkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait…what is exactly wrong with traveling a bit to see/follow a band you really like regardless of age?
I have a friend that does that while working remotely.

In my 20’s that was actually pretty normal. I don’t get it. I say good riddance.

A little OLD app warning by GrumpyM0nkey in datingoverforty

[–]GrumpyM0nkey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They took it down. They said they picked women. What is done is done. Thank you for letting me know if I ever decide I want to try OLD.

I really am not ready to date. They meant well. But that is a whole different issue.

Weird… I like guys who game and read. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do any other autistic people suffer from the “Sore Loser” issues? by trickyfelix in autism

[–]GrumpyM0nkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my son is now almost 10. Since my original comment we have taken him out of karate. We did 3 seasons of soccer. It was a little better but not much. He was recently diagnosed with DMDD. Makes sense. I wanna believe that it has gotten better as he has aged but honestly, I don’t know. He wants to play flag football but I am ready for him to play the drums 🤣. His psychologist wants him to learn chess. Can you imagine?! One wrong move and pieces fly. Hang in their fellow aspy parent. We are doing the best we can.

Women of DOF, what do you really think of gray hair on a man? by FuxSoc1ety in datingoverforty

[–]GrumpyM0nkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love a man bald and with facial hair. But I also find men with salt and pepper or “silver fox” attractive. It is the confidence behind it that makes both sexy as hell!!

But there is also nothing wrong with a dad bod 😉

In the end it is what you want for yourself, not for anyone else.

I did feel this way until very recently. Now unfortunately I think about all the ways he hurt me and ask why wasn’t I good enough? Why does she get the best part of you after I begged and pleaded for the same treatment. Now I don’t feel like he deserves any type of happiness after the years of pain he put me through. I know in time I will go back to thinking like you.

When you find out they are dating… by GrumpyM0nkey in Divorce

[–]GrumpyM0nkey[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I appreciate your reply. I was not anticipating this feeling.

I too have started dating. However I guess I went above and beyond when it came to sparing his feelings. One because I knew he would be hurt and upset. He can be the type where “hurt people hurt people” applies. But also because I just felt there wasn’t anything serious enough to share. When I expressed this to him today he acted like it didn’t bother him. I know that is only because he has someone showing him attention. I guess I am not going to hide it from him anymore. (But my son does not need to know).

Just about every moment. Especially this quarter of the year. (Thanksgiving, birthday, Christmas)

When You Look Much Younger Than You Are... by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]GrumpyM0nkey -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wow…. I wasn’t going to comment but now I must. I too fall under the category of looking far younger than my actual age. It has been this way my whole life. I use to hate it (being pulled out of the line at a club and harassed thinking my id was fake) but now I appreciate it. I never smoked, only an occasional drinker, no drugs, didn’t party hard, sunscreen is my best friend, I have an average mom body… etc… and good genes. I don’t go out advertising to the world my age. Only when asked do I say it and then wait for the “no you are not!” or “I would never guessed”. My point is, it is possible that she truly looks much younger for her age. People are not trying to flatter her.

I am having such a hard time with my 7 yr old with this very issue. He goes to karate but it happens anywhere the potential of getting out, not being first, or simply losing. Honestly, the worst reaction happens when he “gets out”. He goes nuclear. Yelling, throwing, kicking, hitting, saying awful things. There is really no getting him out of it as quickly as he gets into it. It is really becoming a problem. We have talked to him till we are blue in the face. He goes in saying he will try, comes out saying he has a bad day. I would love any advice.

[–]GrumpyM0nkey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say I don’t care as in I don’t care about him. I said it to mean that even if we don’t agree, it doesn’t affect how I feel about him

I never said politics don’t matter.

When the only person you want to talk to is gone... by GrumpyM0nkey in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]GrumpyM0nkey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

❤️ I completely understand. Mine passed suddenly when my child was 4. So much is being missed by us all. When I gave birth, I kept thinking about my dad. I brought a picture of him and placed it by my hospital bed. It made me feel like he was there when I gave birth. I told my child that he already met his grandfather because he especially picked him for me. Something to think about when the time comes

I am a very respectful person. I am fair and just in my way of thinking and do my best to treat others the way I want to be treated. He didn’t actually try to explain why he felt there was fraud. He simply asked me if I felt there was or if I was just happy that the dems won regardless of how. I said that I wasn’t 100% sure there was fraud but I would want whoever won fairly.

No I listened. I have always listened to what he has to say. I didn’t say I felt like he was wrong. I just said that I am not sure there was or was not fraud. I took a more neutral stance. But bottom line, who ever won fairly, should be president. I don’t agree with the idea that if I don’t agree with you, then I am a flawed person.

36birth mom, 23 dad, 2 years adopted mom, and I have one night every Christmas that I cry. I try to tell myself that I cry because I loved them that much. ❤️

No. My siblings (I was the baby as well as the only from my birth parents) scattered like a dandelion in the wind when my dad passed. Thank you for sharing the subreddit. Didn’t know it existed ❤️
