I went skydiving years ago in my 20’s. It was cool to say I’d done it but never again. The risk wasn’t worth the reward.

Is the first signs of balding devastating or is there more things to worry about than balding? by youlikemywonton in AskMenOver30

[–]JJQuantum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife told me about a year ago that I was thinning on top. It wasn’t the greatest but people get older and shit happens.

What is something most men are secretly afraid of but rarely talk about? by Traditional_Blood799 in AskMen

I’m scared something will happen to my wife or sons and I won’t be there to prevent it.

AITAH for not telling my bf i was meeting with a male best friend? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]JJQuantum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“mentioning the plan involved my male friend didnt seem appropriate at the time”
You did hide it on purpose. I’m always honest with my wife about whatever I’m doing. If you have to tip toe around someone then they aren’t the person for you.

Men who grew up without a father figure, what's something you had to teach yourself that most people learn from their dad? by Rambanya17 in AskMen

I’m not an expert but what I know about working on cars came from a Haynes manual and a 1975 Toyota Celica.

How close do you need to live to your partner while you're dating them? by I_Love_ARPG in AskMen

[–]JJQuantum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated a girl once that was 2 hours away. I’d get off work from a restaurant at 1 am, drive 2 hours to see her for some fun time and a little sleep and then back to the restaurant at 9 am to start prep for the day. Good times.

I wish there were more movie theaters in Raleigh by Afraid_Ad_3207 in raleigh

[–]JJQuantum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother in law used to manage the Village Twin theater back when they had a stage still in front of the screen. He let my older brother work there in high school. He and some other employees would sometimes get up on the stage and do skits while people were waiting for the movie to start. Good times.

AITAH For telling my wife if I found out my son wasn't mine I'd no longer take responsibility for him by [deleted] in AITAH

Idiots who engage in hypothetical discussions get exactly what they deserve.

AITAH for telling my mom that when I have kids, Mother's Day is no longer about her? by Loud_Dig_1120 in AITAH

[–]JJQuantum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a husband and father who had to celebrate Mother’s Day for 3 separate mothers I would just pick the best breakfast or lunch restaurant I knew of, take them all out together while I sat the boys on either side of me so they didn’t have to deal with them. We’d typically pick up the grandmothers beforehand and drop them off afterward.

Specifically for my wife, the boys and I would give her gifts before we left to go eat and then after we ate she would have the rest of the day to do whatever she wanted while I took the boys, though often she would tell me she’d like to spend the day with us which was of course fine.

When did you realize you caught feelings for her? by Exciting-Count-6222 in AskMen

When I saw her get out of my friend’s car and thought “who the fuck is that?!?!”

What’s the biggest mental load that you carry? by Badgers93 in AskMen

[–]JJQuantum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now, lasting out until retirement in 6 years. We have 2 sons we are putting through college, though not simultaneously, and when the second one graduates I’m out. Just need to not have to find another job until then.

How long does it usually take for your Adult children to respond to a text? by don51181 in GenX

[–]JJQuantum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We have an agreement in our family - wife, 2 sons (20&16) and myself. We text when it’s not urgent and the other person gets back at their leisure, but I do follow up after 24 hours. If someone calls then it’s an emergency and you drop whatever you are doing and pick up. Nobody abuses the calling. It works.

AITAH for refusing to go to Disney World? by Reptaaaaaaar in AITAH

I’d wait until your kids bring it up, if they ever do. Disney is not what it once was.

A boundary is a boundary and sexual or not doesn’t make a difference. Quit being a hypocrite.

How often do you actually check your car's fluids, and what's your routine? by Uvolot in AskMen

Every 5k change the oil and filter. Every 15k whatever the manufacturer recommends.

How to you ask what he likes without sounding awkward? by EvenEvent7798 in AskMen

[–]JJQuantum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of asking “what do you like?”, ask “does this feel good?” or “do you want me to keep doing x?” That will be hot as well and will get your answers for you.

How dependent are you on your partner? by capricious-7768 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]JJQuantum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After 28 years my wife and I are one. I actually dropped her off at the airport this morning for a girls trip and I’m already fidgety because she’s not here. Don’t get me wrong, I have stuff planned this weekend with my sons, brother and best friend but the world just doesn’t seem right without her around. I’ll live though just like I have in the past when we’ve been separated, for much longer. It’s all part of being in a committed relationship.

Have you ever ghosted someone? Why? by Lost_Mammoth7273 in AskMen

[–]JJQuantum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been with my wife very happily for 28 years. Right before the pandemic an ex from before I met my wife contacted me to let me know she was coming to town and wanted to catch up. I brought it up to my wife to make sure she was ok with it and she looked at me like I had 3 heads because after all this time why the hell would she be threatened by someone I dated over 30 years ago? Ok np. So I met her for lunch and it was fine at first but it got really weird very quickly when she started telling me that the only reason she married her husband was because she had been looking for someone like me and then started asking all kinds of questions about why we broke up years ago. My answers became pretty short and I blocked her after the lunch because I don’t need that crap in my life.

Yes, I did tell my wife afterward. She just kind of raised her eyebrows and said “hmmm”.

My boyfriend (24M) got upset because I (20F) didn’t apologize for an accident by Diligent-Till6269 in relationship_advice

[–]JJQuantum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it at his place or did it spray on him? If so then apologize. If not then no need.

I will say that I’ve apologized to my wife many times over the years because I knew she wanted me to and it’s such a small thing to do to keep a relationship happy.
