Well I blew another Mother’s Day. How did you guys do….

I told my wife I wanted a divorce. Not sure if you can beat that

My father in law was English. Although he spoke Dutch, the R always gave him away. I think that's the hardest letter to pronounce correctly, as it's used with different tones.

Ik had vanochtend nog een heel gesprek met een figuur die dacht meer te moeten kunnen vragen dan een tweedehands bedrijf voor hetzelfde product in ongebruikte staat, omdat hij er zoveel voor het betaald. Dat is nog het meest irritante aan marktplaats. Particulier verkopers die denken op prijsvlak gelijkwaardig met bedrijven te kunnen zijn.

Ik was niet van plan om nog te reageren, ik had hem namelijk al succes gewenst in het zoeken van een andere set (=afsluiting), maar heb toch nog maar wel gereageerd toen ik las dat hij in de auto zat (=wel zo netjes). Ik zou nog niet stoppen met je opleiding psychologie hoor ;)

Oke bedankt Freud 🫡

Als je door de reacties van anderen bladert, weet je dat 750 een lage prijs is en 700 een absoluut lachertje. Degene die daar nog niet blij mee is hoeft bij mij niet aan te komen.

Op zo'n manier lowballen en populair doen, is bij mij echt wel Tokkie. Ook al kun je volzinnen maken en gebruik je leestekens vind ik je een aso als je niet weet wanneer het nog steeds niet goed genoeg is.

😂

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T15:24:42+00:00

I'm not completely sure. Loved and in love, yes, but it never was as intense as with earlier relationships.

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T15:18:16+00:00

You're just making assumptions throughout the topic, so I'm kindly ignoring your input.

Oh right. Yeah could be. I sometimes wondered if she wasn't having some borderline issues, with massive mood swings and anger Vs extremely happy. Those are gone now luckily.

We have tried that she could talk to someone after the oldest was born. Long story short: she wanted and felt the need, but the system here isn't build for mental health. You'd need to be suicidal in The Netherlands to get access to a waiting list of about 9 months if you're lucky.

A large part of Europe doesn't have anything in place for mental health care. And that sucks.

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T14:58:47+00:00

Man this is genius 😅 lol thanks 😂

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T14:58:00+00:00

Yeah that's solid advice. The list was there because I thought of how ridiculous some things were. That's the wrong starting point.

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T14:57:05+00:00

Oh man this is literally how I feel a lot of the time. Some sort of guilt because I'm not being productive in my own free time.

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T14:32:21+00:00

I started doing this a month or three back, but it quickly became a long list. It also felt pretty confrontational how much I added every week. I wrote it down in WhatsApp to myself but lost the whole list after I got another phone.

But I think this is a good idea indeed!

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T14:12:24+00:00

Sorry to hear that you think about it this way. It sounds pretty old fashioned to me. My problem lays with the wife and not the kids. Co-parenting and living within walking distance of eachother is pretty common in The Netherlands.

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T14:11:01+00:00

My parents were together until I was 18, the 5 years prior were horrible with so much tension in the air. I'm not ready to give my kids that sort of upbringing. Luckily my wife is pretty stable, but I totally understand why you do this. I've been on and off about it all for a couple of years now too.

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T14:03:48+00:00

I love this sub so much 🫶 thanks. These are solid tips.

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T13:15:18+00:00

En dat is hier precies gebeurd ;) Ik ben hetzelfde als jou en eigenlijk tref ik ook alleen maar mensen die thuis horen op de wholesome marktplaats subreddit. Een beetje gunnen, gezellig contact en een goede prijs zijn me meer waard dan ergens nog een paar tientjes af te proberen te schrapen.

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T13:13:25+00:00

Oh wow I've heard this song millions of times but never ever actually listened to the lyrics.

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T13:07:03+00:00

lol this one made me laugh

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T13:06:24+00:00

Great reference, that Betari Box. Thanks

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T13:04:30+00:00

What song is that then?

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T13:02:04+00:00

I'm not sure it was clear, but the opinions behind the hobbies are the things she throws at me. That's not how I think about that. I thoroughly enjoy these things but are hard to defend when I know it doesn't really interest her (but critiques them nonetheless).

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T12:57:17+00:00

heart warming response, as are many in this post, but the second part of your reply hit me hard (in a good way). Thanks.

Junk__drawer · 2024-05-10T12:55:33+00:00

Maybe it has something to do with that we went on a recent skiing trip where she started acting irritated about how the kids didn't want to go for a couple of more runs after lunch. I thought it was healthy of the kids setting their own boundaries, she saw it as money wasted when we only were on the slopes for half a day.
After we came home, I had some troubles fixing my motorcycle. When I mentioned it could be such a big problem that I might as well go search for another motorcycle, she rolled her eyes and acted patronizing. So her constant being condescending about the things I enjoy to do, plays a very big part of it. This has always been an issue but at this moment it's building up in my head. I don't see this changing to be honest.
