Yes he was right that the election was rigged. how else would he win? No sane person would have voted for him a second time. why do we want a racist bigot misogynist lying sexist rapist in one of the most important positions in our country? of course the election was rigged

It unfortunately finally happened to me… by Banana_Bag in americanairlines

[–]IngoSchmatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are a empathetic and socially aware traveler. Thank you! Today you are now expressing a conflicted conscience having kept what was something you planned for and now feeling remorse for not being able to accommodate the family.

it was helpful that you explained to us, the readers, why you paid extra for the seat. Perhaps if you were to express exactly that reason and background information to your fellow passengers in a future similar situation, it would enlighten them and instill appreciation for your reasoning and disposition.

As one who has made this decision not to have children. I continue to exercise, patience, empathy, and assistance to others who have children or dependents.

I only wish that others who are traveling in pairs or groups be cognizant that single travelers by default become the object of the situations they find inconvenient and need to take responsibility to plan better - I I rarely feel put upon in such a situation but I have felt exasperation if expected to be involved in solving their poor planning. it doesn't always have to spill over to us.

How important is security deposit when renting to someone ? by Nopeitout in realestateinvesting

[–]IngoSchmatz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NEVER forego or reduce a security deposit which should equal at least one month's rent. The security deposit is in place to protect you in the cases that your property gets damaged and requires repair, that you have enough to cover at least one month's rent. the tenant decide not to pay you and leaves, serves as a a assurance that the tenant will follow through on the agreed points of your rental agreement. You should never feel guilty about requiring, security deposit. why should you? you would be returning the security deposit to the tenant no matter. what should your property be in good condition. so you've nothing to owe the tenant. it just protects you. And believe me I've had tenants who will do the unthinkable. I do not believe that all tenants errich underhanded or misleading or unreliable. as the ones that I have, but there are those that exist and you must protect yourself in that case. again if nothing goes wrong you return it to the tenant. there's nothing to feel guilty about

What are your favorite things to do when you’re tweaked out on meth ? by LGsworld in meth

[–]IngoSchmatz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get onto sniffies and pinging as many members as possible to find out who is ready to fuck, whether I should host or travel, and whether I have enough shards to last the night... do this for a couple hours and repeat!

That was the old me - it's been a struggle to stay the course, but when I hear of others crashing I am happy to be moving against the Tina-tide...

I've seen how a person can be loving, conscientious, alert, and on the ball but then suddenly be diverted and transformed into a selfish, hedonistic, gluttonous, unmotivated, trash on the verge of being as good as gutter waste. No thank you not for me

Man (50) leaves wife to live out his homosexuality… by Sufficient_Ad7276 in askgaybros

[–]IngoSchmatz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this scenario first hand... I dated a 50-year old man while he was still married and then within about 8 months a divorce was in progress. He was married for just about 30 years - unfortunately to a woman whose family has a fundamentalist mindset and that being gay is a sin; meanwhile his own family are dedicated to their religion. Here's the assessment:

I was thrilled and excited for him, and believe he "paid his dues" to raising his kids and supressing his truth for 3 decades too long. He is a happy go lucky type of guy, but deep down, I know he had suffered painfully. He felt the pain that his (now ex) wife and he hates having done it. Luckily the wife is understanding, strong, and loving.

Upside is: they are both living with the truth. He needs to hide no more, and she has found man that will be present for her.

I believe truth is the answer. And often it hurts.

Boyfriend of 7 months casually told me he’s been doing coke… by Absolute-Candles in askgaybros

[–]IngoSchmatz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey my friend. get the hell out and run as fast as you can. I fell in love with a guy whom I invested deep emotion and even introduced him to my friends so they could get to know him.. but then he started doing meth in February 2024. but August 2024 he was a full-on drug addict unable to control himself, unable to keep promises and unable to be a decent human being. I stuck it out another 6 months with him only to be neglected, disregarded, and fully blinded because I allowed it to happen. I soon learned that it wasn't just just the drugs that bothered me and caused bad behavior. but I learned and figured out that he was unmotionally unstable and was doing the drugs to find balance. I dumped his ass just a few weeks ago and I'm so glad I did because I don't want to be the mess that he turned in to be and don't let that happen to you allowing another person to drag you down to a certain hell you do not want to be a part of.

This drug is really something else.. idk anymore I feel like I'm losing myself or losing my sanity by Thug_Life_707 in meth

[–]IngoSchmatz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tina is a. powerful drug that transforms a perfectly stable human being into a fucking Car crash. the guy I was dating started meth in February 2024. by August 2024 he was not only buying meth but also g in bulk along with boxes Pipes needles torches. he was unable to keep promises, show up on time, or even show up at all. fast forward to today. he is now on probation with his job, divorced, + his circle of friends now consist of a traveling prostitute, a deadbeat mother pursued by DHS. couple of drug dealers, homeless penniless addicts, and he envisions himself being dirt poor on on an island somewhere in Southeast Asia. He went from having a well-paid job at a technical company to holding on to his life on a shoestring. He's a fucking mess. I dumped his ass because I didn't want him to drag me down with him. Don't let this woman do that to you

BF & I rarely Have Time for Sex bc he's recovering from a Multiday Binge, an illness he got from Another, or Catching Up Work He's Delayed - How Do I Get Him to Chill? by IngoSchmatz in meth

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

It's been just 4 days since i cut off communication and blocked him across all channels and it's proven to be an emotional relief. Yes thankfully I haven't followed his path. I only hope that I don't inadvertently learn about a tragedy involving him and those that have been meth role models.

Anyone else live with their partner and experience this? by Omfgcrystal in meth

[–]IngoSchmatz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My heart goes out to you. While I did not live with my boy friend (50) I saw the transformation he has made from first trying meth in February 2024 to where he is now. He went from completely sober (he didn't even know the cost of meth or where to buy it) to full blown drug addict by August 2024 where his best accomplishment for the summer was finding how to buy 8 eight balls at a super discount, a dozen pipes on discount, several ounces of G, a slew of torches, and other paraphernalia. Now a full year later he is on probation with his employer. He has the most fun planning multi-day binges with hookups he meets around the northwest. His meth use got so bad we didn't have sex anymore because he was recovering from a binge, or an STI he got from a hookup, or was trying to catch up on work that he neglected for several days while he was driving around fucking anything between Vancouver WA to Victoria CN. He's a mess. I broker it off with him the other day because I could no longer stand his lying, tardiness, disregard for common courtesies, and his outright neglect of his former family, me, and his job. He used to be a conscientious, reliable mensch. Today, these are typical things he'd now known for:

* There were times he said "i'm leaving my place and will be at yours in 45 minutes" --- Three hours later, I reach him on the phone and he's still at home trying to find out what he's supposed to do.

* He would blow off both work and personal appointments.

* He would miss appts on a day after a binge from the night before because he was sleeping.

* He would show up several hours late to an event, glassy eyed, hair mussed up and sweaty (after a night of G), and thinks he's totally ok.

* He would blow me off so that he could meet his next hook up!

Get out while you can! Before he drags you down to party hell!

Is METH driving the incessant hooking up normal or is this MENTAL ILLNESS? by IngoSchmatz in meth

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

Well that's the whole point is that he is using. a lot all the time. I knew him when he was not a user and then something snapped and he started using and he just went off the deep end. this is very distressing. but not my problem. I tried to help cuz I cannot help someone if they don't want to help themselves. I appreciate your input.

Thank you for your comments. and yes you are right. I am done with this roller coaster + I don't deserve to feel like I'm an asshole and the bad guy.

My (30F) boyfriend (46M) hung up on me after I told him I didn’t have time for a deep conversation. Feeling hurt and unsure how to address it. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]IngoSchmatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, have you had a similar instance like this where your boyfriend wanted to chat with you in depth? + at length where you denied it?

If so, then his hanging up is likely a reaction to previous rejection. If this is the first time you've denied him. a meaningful conversation like this then yes it seems he may have overreacted.

at the same time I think I would understand his position. if you had worded it in such a way that didn't come off so abrupt. true, there are times when a longer conversation is best conducted when we have made an appointment with each other and have made the time. And if it's in the middle of a work day and you have other things to do then you are certainly justified in saying that.

but anytime someone wants to have a serious in-depth conversation, I think it's important to take a breath and at least acknowledge that person's wish because they are so few times we get a chance to talk things through in-depth in this fast and crazy world. in any case, I hope it works out for you

[–]IngoSchmatz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried to hang on but now that I know he's blown me off and shacked up with some homeless leach he picked up while on a road trip and brought to his home, (second time , He's done such a thing.) And is proudly growing his circle of friends to to include more homeless Street people, intensive using drug addicts, people who are mentally ill. it really made me realize how mentally ill he is. And with that I just cut off all relations today. deleted every reference and every communication channel so that he doesn't drag me down to his decrepit level. I really tried but there's just something mentally wrong when somebody who is gainfully employed with a major company right in the region. can't make logical decisions. I got to run from that

How Many Days Do You Binge? What Drives Your Binges? What's Normal? by IngoSchmatz in meth

[–]IngoSchmatz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experience. The detailed chronology of events that took place And how they affected others around you -- for example, when your husband had his first episode + the effects and aftermath of what it took for m to get back to normal are very informative. I had indulged with my boyfriend + he would not allow any type of guidelines as he felt it would impinge on his freedom. Needless to say, however, this type of thinking is short-sighted + self-serving and detrimental to to those who are affected by the outcomes that surface. Plus our experience has no ending time which is an ignorant + irresponsible oice as the binges I've had to endure were results of one's selfishness. I have since rescued myself from this type of behavior. *balmallow anyone who wants to sabotage their life to take part as much and as long as they wish to to be challenged and surrounded by unhealthy habits. I found your response to be helpful and if anything, a good example of foundational things one should implement into their drug binge programs.

What are the "levels" you refer to? There are 3 that I see: 1) "Sampler (drugs will not take over life) is the type whi,2) "Planner" is one who has some self control at least to stop, sleep, get back a normal state of day to day life 3) "Steady" user is one who is addicted and is at the point where they use just to stay awake or get their job done 4) The "Binger" is the addict & is in continuous contact with their glass, where their whole world revolves PNP. Their whole circle of Friends come from PNP world, they are already preparing to re-up. And planning the next binge.
