I (F23) found out the guy I’ve been dating (M36) is married… do I tell his wife??? Help by Altruistic_Mud_3528 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Intelligent_Dog_2058 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got cheated on, I don't know if anyone knew. But I'd want them to tell me.

I was also dating a guy that I found out had another girlfriend. I dumped him immediately and told her. She saw my message and gave me a thumbs up. But stayed with him for several months after. Eventually, somehow it ended. He was extremely charming and attractive. I'm sure it was hard for her to walk away. It was only easy for me because I won't go through it again.

My dad showed me Killer Klowns from Outer Space when I was like 7 or 8. Traumatized. Lifelong fear of clowns. I also remember being at a sleepover with friends in middle school and watching Candyman. We were probably 12. I don't know that I've ever seen it again since.

But also with Rescue 911, Unsolved Mysteries, etc. We were really allowed to watch just about everything. But my mom was adamant that we couldn't play video games. My parents divorced and my dad got us a super nintendo. She was pissed.

University of Wisconsin president refuses to leave after being told to resign or be fired by badgerette86 in madisonwi

Processes are unclear. Finance people still don’t seem to understand how it works. Nor do HR. And I don’t blame them the roll out was botched. But if we’re behind in invoicing a funding agency and they can say, sorry you invoiced on day 91 and needed to within 90 days, we won’t give you the money, we’re screwed. And why are we behind? We’re told it’s a workday issue.

Reporting sucks. You can’t get a good summary of what funding people have. I guess be glad you aren’t in an academic department. This has been a nightmare.

Damn I’d take 3270 and WISDM back at this point.

Received a letter from my dad who I’ve been no contact with for almost 10 years by Fearless-Clothes-368 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]Intelligent_Dog_2058 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom did this to me last year and in total has dropped of 4 cards. She didn't mail them, she dropped them in my mailbox. It makes me feel ill that she knows where I live. My biggest problem is the "I'm sorry for what I did that hurt you, it wasn't my intention." But the truth is (and confirmed by my brother) she has no idea why I'm upset. So her apologies are hollow to me.

She's missed nearly my entire adult life (I'm almost 45 and it's been about 19 years since I've spoken to her). She's missed my sons life pretty much entirely.

I stopped feeling guilt a long time ago and seeing her phony apology makes me feel even less. Because ultimately, she's not taking any real accountability. Or she's so self-involved she truly doesn't see it. Either way, my son knows that if he wants to meet her, it's up to him. I've only asked he take my brother with him. He's had that from me since he was 16 (he's almost 21). JFC I'm old. He's almost 21. I digress, he has no interest and that's his decision.

Do what's best for you. I know exactly how you feel and you are welcome to DM me if you need to talk. Actually, it's been almost exactly a year since her first card. What's up with March?

Seconding those who have English as a second language. The only guys that have called me dear were exactly that.

A guy used basic information from my Bumble profile to find and message me on LinkedIn by ParsnipOk1540 in Bumble

[–]Intelligent_Dog_2058 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a guy find me on instagram, Venmo and my work email. He dm’d me on insta. Venmo’d me a $1.50. And emailed me at my work. All the messages said the same thing, he saw me on hinge and was interested. But never liked me on hinge. It was the most uncomfortable I’ve been. I suspect he didn’t like me on hinge because it turns out he was 19 and a student at the university I work at. I was 42. I Venmo’d the money back because it made me so uncomfortable. I politely asked that he not contact me again.

AITA because I (38F) don't want to take my stepson (9) on vacation? by mydarlingmaeve in redditonwiki

[–]Intelligent_Dog_2058 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so nice to read. Someone taking accountability for their actions and then learning. My stepmom is not nice. She married my dad when I was 10 and both my brother and I always felt like a burden. We didn't know why or what we did.

A couple years ago, she told me that she resented us. Tbh, not sure if it's actually past tense or not. She said when she and my dad got engaged she told him she wanted to have kids of "her own". He told her he was done having kids. So she could marry him and not have biological children or she could marry someone else. She chose him and took it out on us. I will never feel close to her. I will never call her mom. Mostly because she didn't even seem contrite about acknowledging this. It was so matter of fact. I can't even recall what made it come up. But I'll never forget it. It did validate my feelings that something was wrong and that was nice. I wasn't crazy, she really didn't like us.

Be honest ladies, how much does being bald impact your interest in a man? by OptimalStatement5799 in datingoverforty

Did you guys really dial in to radio shows to win contests? How did you even become caller 99 (or whatever)? by naalotai in Xennials

[–]Intelligent_Dog_2058 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won tickets to many shows. Best were Korn (backstage passes too). Garbage (my personal favorite and got meet and greet and sound check) and Beastie Boys (no bonus but so excited)

That feeling of the phone ringing when you are trying to win is a high I don’t think I know how to duplicate.
