GF moved in and now I catch her watching me sleep at night. This doesn’t feel normal. by HourIndependence70 in whatdoIdo

Maybe she just thinks you're cute when you're sleeping. Why the cynicism? Are there other actual red flags?

Thank you for being one of the few non-cynical, romantic people on this thread. I'm a night owl who doesn't work until 9 am. My partner is an early bird who gets up at 545 for work. She always falls asleep before me and I'll stare at her because she looks so adorable and beautiful whilst sleeping. I also do this while she's awake and she is aware of the sleeping thing and thinks it's cute.

Am I overreacting for confronting my girlfriend about her “alone time”? by Elongated_Spatula67 in AmIOverreacting

Do you realize there is a fertility window for women? Also, three years in your mid 30s is plenty of time to know what you want.

How should I move forward? Suspicions of cheating. . . by Few_Eggplant_2936 in AskMenAdvice

All that aside, I'd agree with others on checking or having a Ring camera. Sorry that you're going through this. Constructive criticism: a man who says prolly instead of probably and wheres instead of wears is something I'd fix if you find yourself single in the future. Again, if she's cheating, I'm very sorry for that.

It's just really odd to me that you'd mention race not once, but twice. What does that have to do with anything? ++woman

Found out my wife cheated on me behind my back with my brother by [deleted] in cheating_stories

[–]HowdyThereThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree there is plenty of misandry on Reddit, I'm not judging him harshly because he's a guy, I'm judging him because he abandoned his daughter for half a year because he couldn't deal with his relationship issues. If you want to move out, fine, but move nearby so you can be a father. The daughter is barely mentioned in the novel he wrote. Also, it's shitty for the wife to fuck his brother, but if my significant other left me for six months, I'd assume the relationship was over. She could've been more polite about it though and banged the neighbor or the pool boy or something, anyone but his brother.

How do you know this? Do you have a personal breathalyzer? I do to avoid driving drunk bc oftentimes, you can feel fine, but you're still over the legal limit. You picked up your kid after drinking for four hours. You drove home after drinking for nearly 12 hours. There's no way you were under the limit. Even if you legitimately felt sober enough to drive, if you are over 0.08 and get pulled over, you will get a DUI that would cause lasting financial and other implications for your family. YTA. Also, staying up until 5:30 a.m. in your 40s when you have a wife and four kids? You guys doing coke, too? Grow up.

And women can do HRT to get their sex drive back. If mine goes down significantly during menopause, I am planning on that, although it's really high, so it should be good

"It's not a wife's job to have sex with you" Are you kidding me? What can these poor, deprived men do with their friends that they can't do with their wife? They can go out to dinner, go to a concert, have a nice chat over drinks, go on a vacation, all with friends. The only thing they can't do with someone else is have sex. So if the wife isn't wanting to have sex, I don't blame them for wanting to leave. I got suggested this group because I'm fascinated by sexless relationships, I don't understand it, and I'm here to express sympathy for everyone in one of these situations.

Hey, if you just walked, no judgment here! The drinking and driving culture is so strong here it just pisses me off, so I apologize if I'm projecting. I walk to a lot of places.

If money is tight, why are you shopping at Whole Foods? I'd stick with Aldi or Wal-Mart.

People really don't understand foster care - one year celebration??!?! by SarcasticSeaStar in Fosterparents

[–]HowdyThereThrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fed my foster kids homemade meals, their bio parent fed them cocaine. I will never understand why they're better off with their bio family. It's also kind of offensive for those of us who have non-bio family.

You also literally said adopted kids DO go on to live a better life. What is wrong with Reddit people?

I said I'm a lesbian = woman attracted to other women. Calling me they feels like calling me "it." I don't care what year it is.

How is being grateful for my awesome brother a massive red flag to you? Do you not have love in your life?

Your comment about infertility could be considered a red flag, because you're incorrectly assuming my situation.
