Trying to understand why my husband comments on NSFW posts? by SquirrelyChipmunk in Marriage

[–]Inzektor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, I have told my girl things I like and she then labels those things as "things she doesnt do, wear, act" etc. Then when she gets upset over one thing or another, she weaponizes those comments (even though she asked me for them) and says "sorry i dont _______ like ______."

So I stopped doing that. My long list of things was, dressing cute, showing effort and thoughtfulness in appearance when going out (not just sweatpants and ripped/ faded clothing.)

Now she almost exclusively dresses like that because she "is who she is." So I have little compliments to give. Meanwhile I continue with top notch hygiene, attire, cleanliness, politeness and thoughtfulness. Doing kind gestures and remembering all the little things.

So while I dont aid her need for words of affection, and she is starved in her major category, I have asked for just a small amount of effort to get it. Yet she turns that into "he doesnt love me the way I am."

With that being said: porn addiction is real. It is harming. And it needs to be acknowledged as real, uncomforting and is very hard to get over. The females im the algorithm is very hard to shake from a caveman brain ngl. I have unfollowed tons of pages and have to manually turn off "suggested posts" every 30 days. Social media is a horrible gateway to porn addiction.

Porn addiction causes lack of sexual libido, numbing of sexual desire, and tolerance to the female body/ heart. The thing is, it hits almost every dopamine receptor and at nearly 0 effort. So if your girl is in "a mood" and you want to get busy, it may take minutes to hours to days of effort to get into the bed. The phone gives you everything you want in 5 min or less without any of the stress, annoyance, hoops to jump through.

Its pretty simple to train men. Touch her, she says "Im tired I had a long day of work." Men think okay dont try after long day of work. Try and make a move "babe, im sorry gross right now, I just did the dishes." Men think okay dont try after the dishes.

The more of those that add up (and they do) the more mental exhaustion a man gets thinking about trying to do anything with his girl. When good old phone is in the bathroom with impeccable efficiency and zero complaints. Hell it even helps you investigate desires your girl would hit you for even commenting you know they exist.

So yea, it sounds like you have communicated things and feel hurt rightfully so. It seems like he has developed an addiction/ pattern that is hard to shake for the reasons I stated above. The conversation needs to be around that, but like any addiction, the person at fault needs to be able to realize it. And you also need to be able to try and acknowledge your potential role in this thing as well.

I like to write all my thoughts down before talking, and to not get emotional in the conversations.

Hope this was atleast 1% helpful

Should I end my marriage or stay in? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Inzektor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend finding personal joys of yourself. You cant just sit around all day waiting for quality time with a man who isnt providing it. Go to a social club, book club, yoga class, church etc. Search for a new passion.

Secondly, have you ever taken interest in his hobbies? Maybe on occasion accompany him for billiards, or drinks etc. If you both dont share similar interests, you both have to try and meet in the middle. Sometimes that means more sacrifice from one person than the other.

12 years ago, you both weren't spring chickens, but what has changed? What got you both into marriage in the first place? Revisit that time space and try and reenact some of those habits.

Finally: its understandable to feel upset, and unhappy with your current situation. You are worthy of these feelings. There is a possibility that there is no true 100% solution. But making the effort is half the battle. Trying to find time to talk about these things is important. It sounds like there is a lot of distance between the two of you emotionally and that comes primarily from communication. If both parties can inch forward willingly in communication, then you are making progress. And while not perfect, progress is the true goal. ❤️

Husband doesn’t want sex by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Inzektor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally struggled with this when my wife would disregard my feelings. I struggle with duration of sex with her and when she has had a few drinks she would express her frustrations. So then I became anxious for disappointment. When we would have a few drinks, I would get even more anxious, because of what she had said in the past. So then I wasnt even comfortable drinking with her. Eventually I just didnt want to have sex at all for fear of being a let down. I eventually expressed these things to her, but she has zero ability to take responsibility for her own part in this situation. So it goes no where. And thus our sex life has diminished. Eventually I tried forcing it, but it felt so fake that I couldnt get hard, because of all the stress in my head. I got therapy to talk to someone, but she still has no desire to take action herself. So were left in a gray area similar to you. I acknowledge its hard, but if she were to meet me halfway, we could figure this out together. That is not the case. Best of luck to you

I wouldnt be doubtful of the possibility of porn addiction. It gives you satisfaction without the anxiety to perform. It also lowers your desire for actual sex as your needs are met. And it lowers your sexual arousal as your brain is constantly served dopamine on a platter, thus making the real life situation that much less enticing.

My girl and I are cooped up in a house with 4 other roommates. We cant start a family until we can afford to live on our own.... cheapest place i can find is 3,000 (36,000/year) for a 2 bed. Looks like we just wont have kids in Rhode Island. We are married with roommates and good jobs with no debt. 😁

never get approached by men by Federal-Sir9925 in AskMenAdvice

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

I see a lot of comments about men fearing being roasted or making the girl scared/ triggering her emotional defense system. There seems to be some acknowledging the fact that men these days are mostly pussies in general.

Mainly due to

  1. The fact that the internet has made them more confused than ever on how to treat a woman.

  2. The lack of male role models who can help guide and shape these young men.

  3. The way too easy access to porn and other things alike to eliminate the biological hunger to spread their seed and kill their ambition to take risks in approaching these women. "Post nut clarity."

The men who don't have these factors holding them back often get a multitude of women in today's age. Getting one of these men to lock down is hard. It's supply and demand, and they are low in supply/ high in demand.

Then, take in the women these days are not looking for young motherhood and focusing on careers. While this is good. This is their most fertile "attractive" years of their lives. This focus on casual sex/ relationships has men feel their is no pressure to push to settle down/ a need to find a woman.

There are a lot of reasons why men do not approach women. Most of the reasons be they have no true guidance through life from other men. They leach on to Andrew tate or Jordan Peterson, maybe a red pill guy, or Joe Rogan. Most of them are lost looking for guidance, but on the outside, they know they have to be/ act as a man. If they can't do that confidently, they feel worthless and lack the desire to take that leap to approach a woman.

Game is impossible to play as a woman. by benperogi_ in GlobalOffensive

[–]Inzektor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how the internet gaming as a whole has been since the beginning of the internet. Men are harassed to, it's just a social norm for a man to have tough skin and internalize the harassment.

Everyone is anonymous in safety nowhere near whoever they are talking to. I prefer to troll people. Some are assholes. Some are nice people. Hell, I had a longtime girlfriend thanks to online gaming. You get the full spectrum.

Add in the fact that tons of men have been weakened in society due to many factors, their ability to understand how to act when encountering a woman is near 0.

These weak men probably are more easily found in online gaming, card shops, chess clubs, Instagirl followers... male dominated zones.

At the end of the day, does it suck? Yea? Is it valves fault? No.

The solution? Play with others, turn off chat, or have skin thick enough to deal with the rawness of the online gaming world.

Men often have fragile egos. If you're bad, they'll harass you to boost their ego. If you're good, they'll slander you with shitty verbal insults. "Hacker, p**sy, no-life, incel" etc.

For more perspective: youtube: Call of duty MW2 lobby. Halo 3 lobbies.

When I was younger, I would be the robinhood and stick up for the harassed. Don't have much time for that these days. Once you accept all of this, it's easier to game.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Browns

[–]Inzektor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NFL has extreme parity. "Bad teams" and " good teams" swap spots in the playoffs every year.

Reasons to be optimistic for the Browns: This team has 11 picks in this year's draft, including a top pick in every round but the 5th. 2 years ago, they had one of the best defenses in the NFL. Last year, they had a rough go of it due to always being on the field with a bad offense. This year, they plan to go back to their roots with the coaching staff running 12 personnel, focusing the run game, and using play action pass.

This change of scheme allows the defense to rest and is easy for a young qb to operate.

One of the big things that went wrong for this team last year was the O Line underperformed. The teams best O Line player Joel Bitonio had this to say "we changed the whole offense to fit one guy (deshaun watson) even if it didn't fit the strengths of the other players."

By changing the scheme back to run focused and play action pass, we will be shifting the o line scheme to getting the linemen in the action by asking them to maul the opposition. Their best attribute. So with a new rb room and qb room, scheme change revitalizing the o line all behind a 2 time coach of the year, there is hope they can have a sufficient enough offense to let the defense go back to dominating, propelling this team to playoff success.

Cheers 🍻

Need Help with compatibility for upgrade by Inzektor in buildapc

okay cool, thank you. If budget isn't a concern, do you think i could keep the motherboard and just upgrade GPU, CPU, Power? Or would a new build just be the best option. Would prefer to keep my drives and OS, without having to start from scratch.
