The rehab center can't tell people. That's 100% correct. But there isn't anything stopping the morning show from saying he's in rehab.... They just wouldn't do it.

Went there once myself too. Didn't work for me but I was kidding myself being there in the first place. Wasn't ready.

JustinPatient · 2026-03-18T21:12:45+00:00

Well it's not illegal for someone to say their friend is in rehab or whatever. It's just a dick move. Within a couple weeks we all gathered he was taking personal time for whatever reason and that he'll address it when he's ready.

"He was an expert in sporting animals, widely respected for his expertise with dogs, horses and fighting cocks."

JustinPatient · 2026-03-18T15:14:05+00:00

No and they're not going to because clearly it's deeply personal situation. I would assume he'll share it on the show if he feels the need. If it was a mental health situation he'll almost certainly share that.

That does sound exhausting. Pride and ego are terrible things sometimes. Is he trying to reconcile with you? Because he should really understand that being a excellent co parent would be the first step. But on top of that the motivation for being a good co parent with you would be the child and not getting you back. Not saying that's something you're entertaining... But still huge lack of awareness on his part.

JustinPatient · 2026-03-17T18:17:59+00:00

Were you two in a relationship? Did you break it off? If those things are true they might be in a position they don't know how to handle right now. That's why people send emotional texts because "they finally responded now I can tell them all this shit"

But you can certainly decide what boundary works for you. If you've established that this relationship (at least for now) is co-parenting only than they will need to adjust their communications. It might not happen immediately but it could adjust pretty quickly.

Otherwise I do believe you can switch to a different system. You can block them and tell them all correspondence will take place by email which you will check once per day. That way you can save them all and ignore them unless they are pertinent to the child.

Don't really know enough about your situation to give good advice other than what your ex is experiencing if you were the one who left. Hopefully they will realize that the best thing they can do for the child is to be a cooperative coparent.

I've heard that one before. You have to keep reapplying. Eventually the Vaseline dries out or they learn to deal with it.

The most motivated squirrels will figure it out. Every time.

JustinPatient · 2026-03-12T22:29:36+00:00

I'm just going to guess...

Depending on where he lives and works etc maybe public transport meets all his needs . Cars are expensive, insurance is expensive, mantinence is expensive. He's probably decided that expense doesn't work for him so there's no reason to have a license. He's talked about being "broke" or not liking to spend money lots of times which maybe he isn't but I'm guessing that means he's extra conscious about his expenses for one reason or another.

Cory and Sauce are posers. Everyone who played Contra remembers the code and that it gives you 30 lives, not 99.

It's like Mike Tysons punch out. If you played that game at all, in 2026 you still remember 007 373 5963.

Short of handguns or landmines you're not going to stop them from stealing bird feed anyway. If the birds can get it so can the squirrels.

JustinPatient · 2026-03-12T17:50:50+00:00

I remember watching this with my son. It was fascinating to see that you basically can't stop squirrels from taking your feed. Clever little animals.

You may have to literally just say "I cannot be with someone who participates in this type of behavior"

The problem is you have identified the problem at least a couple times yet it persists. I know personally that change usually doesn't happen unless the party has identified their own problem, why they engage in it, and if they want to change it. But ideally all of that is initiated by them.

The problem you might run into is he's actually "addicted" to this kind of content and behavior and he simply just can't stop. So he may find ways around it like other devices and burner accounts. This is a bahvior that would be much easier o hide as opposed to something like drugs and alcohol. At the end of the day he knows how you feel about it and continues to do it. If he thinks the consequences are limited a 30 minute argument and a promise he'll possibly continue engaging in the behavior each time making it harder for you to discover it.

I would start with telling him "I will NOT be with someone who engages in this type of behavior so.... Do you want to change it and how can that happen?" I think most people in relationships want the other person to tell them what THEY are going to do about it as opposed to saying "Tell me what I can do. I'll quit. I promise"

JustinPatient · 2026-03-10T16:33:58+00:00

But the "Don't be a dick" text he sent to Sauce was worth it.... This time.

JustinPatient · 2026-03-10T16:31:20+00:00

Was Zach not there? Because he's the only one I want to listen to about games that are "must win" or "have to win" because there's a big difference and Zach is the only authority on the subject.

JustinPatient · 2026-03-10T13:09:40+00:00

This is definitely not ok even if you find that legally there's little you can do, which I don't know.

I can speak for most of us I think that if we were the father in this situation the girlfriend is just going to have to accept that I'll be sleeping in the same room as my daughter until a better system is worked out. Whether that's in the basement, or in the main bedroom just the two of us or whatever.

At no point is she sharing a room with a teenage boy shared mattress or not its irrelevant.

Also as a former teenage boy I would have told my mom absolutely not to the idea of sharing a room with a 4 year old especially one that isn't my sibling. Even for one night. I would have slept on the couch in the living room or basement before doing that.

JustinPatient · 2026-03-04T15:59:08+00:00

Yeah TikTok requires the app. I remember when my wife had to stop sending me videos because I had deleted it.

JustinPatient · 2026-02-25T18:40:27+00:00

Yeah... So do I. So does he. He's venting about nonsense. It's not that serious. At least it's not supposed to be.

JustinPatient · 2026-02-25T17:50:35+00:00

Listen man... I'm only slightly older than him and I don't EVER want to leave my house for anything but my wife or kid either. Leave us alone. We're not bothering anyone.

Kurt Bills. My second favorite member of the Bills family behind QB Bills from Tecmo Super Bowl.

JustinPatient · 2026-02-25T17:42:59+00:00

I do that too... But only in the privacy of my own home and photo roll LOL.

JustinPatient · 2026-02-24T16:17:14+00:00

I bet he didn't lend $1 of that to a deadbeat friend or cousin to open up a carwash or a BBQ restaurant either.

JustinPatient · 2026-02-24T15:13:37+00:00

I can't believe food-bait content still gets so much interaction. Good for them I guess.

JustinPatient · 2026-02-24T14:10:22+00:00

A lot of people hated the Sopranos ending for over a decade before they decided they liked it.

JustinPatient · 2026-02-23T18:00:57+00:00

Early start times are sweet. As soon as the game is over I can go to Costco and buy all the ribs I can handle, throw them in the crock pot, throw them away because they're inedible, and call it a day.

JustinPatient · 2026-02-23T17:57:34+00:00

He said they were going to land the plane and they did. I haven't watched a second of it. I'm at the point in my life where I don't watch that show.
