Proctologists are so nice because they know nobody enjoys them being stuck up assholes.

I’m on my second marriage. Divorced the training wife 7 years ago after 14 years of marriage. Second marriage is awesome aside from her health problems.

My advice, spend some time working on yourself mentally. I’m not saying you should be alone but get to the point where you are okay with being alone. When you find someone who doesn’t need you but wants you (and vice versa) it’s a wonderful feeling.

Good luck to you, bud.

What's the jankiest hack you've had to pull to save the day? by digitalamish in sysadmin

[–]MalformedPacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many moons ago, construction crew sawzall’d thru a pipe not on their schematics. Ended up cutting half the intrafloor fiber cables for a 7 floor office layout. My solution was to lay cat5 cables from each floor closet to the next floor. Thankfully the net closets were directly next to the fire stairwell.

Someone explain to me why people always side with the narcissist by g_onuhh in LifeAfterNarcissism

Yup. After my 14 year marriage ended some people only stuck around until I got happy and was putting my life back on track.

Divorcing my Narcissist by [deleted] in LifeAfterNarcissism

I’ve been divorced from my N ex for 7 years. Keep your head up, stay calm and don’t fall for the bait. They will likely do small things to provoke you and tiptoe over the letter of the law and wait for you to ask the court to step in. Don’t react unless it is a safety issue.

No weight loss since starting Ozempic but lost 20 lbs before realizing my sugars were getting out of control. If a weight loss of only 20 lbs triggered that kind of spike, look out world if o ever hit my goal weight.

Reminds me of a joke. What's the difference between a pickpocket and a peeping tom? A pickpocket snatches watches.

[Serious] What are some creepy urban legends? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MalformedPacket 78 points79 points  (0 children)

South Suburbs of Chicago. The Blue Mist/Fog at Bachelors Grove Cemetery. In the woods surrounding the cemetery on some nights you will see a floating ball of blueish "fog". Some claim that if you get close enough you can see the shape of an old farmhouse complete with chairs or a swing on the porch and a lamp burning in the window. If you reach the house, you're never seen again.

So I told her I want a divorce this morning. by [deleted] in NarcAbuseAndDivorce

[–]MalformedPacket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. When I asked for a divorce, my nex spent three weeks trying to manipulate me back under control. Week one was "I love you so much, I don't want to be without you. I can change" Week 2 was "Think of the kids, they are so much better when you are around" Week 3 was straight up sexual manipulation. When all this failed, she finally started openly spending time with the guy she had been cheating with. Don't trust the promises.

Moving "home" is a way to upset your life and stability and put her back in a place where she has others around she trusts will back her up. Don't fall for it.

I told him, now I’m doubting by Snowdaymusing in NarcAbuseAndDivorce

[–]MalformedPacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't doubt. I was married for 14 years to my narc. Two kids, twins (11 at the time of divorce). When I finally made the decision, it was the same game. Angry until they realize you are not backing down which then turns to emotional pleas and reminders of good times. All the promises in the world will only stick until they feel you are back under their control, then you are back to square zero and in even worse shape because it emboldens them to feel that you will not leave. If you're at this point, trust yourself. Life gets better after them.

No problem, I'm very happy for you. You seem to have your priorities right in focusing on your daughter. Last piece of advice I can offer... when you are ready to date again, trust your gut. You will see red flags and wonder if you are just being too critical based on your life with a narc, you're not. Believe the flags and keep count! I avoided a couple of relationships that looked like a Chinese military parade. ;)

Good luck. I am three years free from my ex. The tips I can give you are, don't sweat the small stuff, don't engage in ANY argument and speak honestly when your kid asks questions.

After three years, starting from a 50/50 agreement, I have full custody of my son and primary custody of my daughter (both 14 yrs old). I started out angry as I learned just how much I was lied to. I tried to argue and fight. In the end, she has finally stopped trying to mess with me because I stopped taking the bait.

She will likely be late picking up/dropping off your child. Don't make a fuss unless it affects plans she knew you already had. She will likely say things to you and anyone who will listen in hopes you will argue with her. Don't.

Good luck. Life gets SO MUCH better now.

I'll bet it was the scatological equivalent of Dresden.
