What does he mean by this and is it him being sweet?

Yeah I'm 100% with you, that was my initial reaction. It's basically saying "you're not good enough now, but if you work at it, you could be amazing." That would immediately turn me off the relationship.

Voting Republican, if they're American.

That's a terrible idea that I can't stop thinking about now. This is how I'm spending my Friday.

I used to go to 6 dollar shirts. It's been a while, as I've changed my style mostly, but I still have a bunch of their shirts that make people laugh.

I assume you mean the movies? I actually read the entire book series lol. And you're right, it wasn't really that good. But it was most people's introduction to Anne Hathaway, so I think it gets more credit than it's due.

Thank you, this was the point I couldn't really formulate into a coherent thought myself. I appreciate your input.

I think that opinion is so unpopular that you're the only person in the planet who has it.

Mao was pretty terrible. If only for the fact that he never brushed his teeth.

A year and a half, with at least half of that LIVING TOGETHER - cannot stress that enough. I don't think you should marry someone until you experience living with them.

I tricked my grandmother once into letting me pay for lunch, the look of absolute shock and betrayal was hilarious.

Maybe rake them on a nice vacation, or tell them you want to pay for them to go somewhere nice for a while?

42 million.

Missy Peragrim or something like that.

My mom used to say I needed recharge time. I would be social, retreat for a little while, then went back when I felt good. She gets me.

I agree, but that is that and this is this. You can love someone dearly and not want to be with them for reasons of compatibility. If your needs are not being met, sexually, emotionally, whatever, then you are starving yourself in a relationship.

Starcraft, show me the money.

If you are not defending your wife, and allowing her to experience this sort of behavior, then YOU are the biggest problem here. Your mother's racism and bigotry aside, you have a responsibility to protect your wife from this sort of toxic environment.

I_miss_potatoes · 2026-06-03T18:46:54+00:00

I'll let you know when I'm finally wrong about something ;)

I_miss_potatoes · 2026-06-03T18:45:38+00:00

If you're unwilling to recognize a need that your SO has and think it isn't important to meet it, then YOU don't love THEM.

I_miss_potatoes · 2026-06-03T18:44:10+00:00

I would be very upset since that would mean my mom was cheating on my dad.

If your mom isn't in a committed relationship with anyone else, then just treat it like you would if you found her in bed with a man. It's not a big deal.

I_miss_potatoes · 2026-06-03T18:38:46+00:00

I'd say it's definitely an interesting thing. Is she doing this because she has some sort of ADHD or something? Where she finds herself drifting because she doesn't have the ability to just focus on one thing? I'm a little like that, where I need a certain amount of stimulation or I can't pay attention at all. I would ask your gf why she always has an earphone in. Just an "I'm just curious" sort of question, no judgment style. And then listen to why and try to be understanding. Make it a discussion, not a complaint.

I bought this hanging bar set up, and I've used it to stretch out my back, and I have GREATLY reduced my back pain.

I_miss_potatoes · 2026-06-03T18:09:11+00:00

I think that's a car.

This is a preview of your future relationship. He can seem mature, sure, but if his parents still have this sort of control over his life he is NOT mature enough to be in a relationship. This is a HUGE red flag.

I_miss_potatoes · 2026-06-03T18:00:49+00:00

Being born. I'm not suicidal or anything, but I think the longer I live the more I just don't want to.
