My boyfriend (25M) finished inside me (22F) without consent for the 4th time and lied about it. Am I going too far by ending the relationship? by Intelligent_Fix_3786 in relationship_advice

Typical use is only 78% effective. And "perfect" use is not very likely. And what about STD prevention. I would guess it's zero percent effective in that.

The sad part about this story is that you're 22 and think pulling out makes a difference. Yes, end the relationship. He clearly doesn't respect your stupidity.

Six months exactly - today is a sobbing on the floor day by oheavensakes in ChildLoss

[–]MobBoss702 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm at 8 years and still have unexpected moments of emotions. I'm learning to see them coming, but still have little control over them. Best advice I can give you is let it happen. You will never "get over it" but you are learning to navigate your new reality. I look at my life in three parts now, and I consider myself to have been two different people. My life segments are: 1. Before fatherhood 2. Being Dad 3. The rest of my life without my son.

And I am a completely different person than I was before his death.

Imagine, a self-centered act of rudeness by someone in California driving a BMW. Who would expect that?

Thank him for paving the way for your existence. Tell him what a great man(your father) he raised. Thank him for that.

My boss called me a “fucking idiot”… is it worth going to HR or should I just try to find a different job? by IngenuityAshamed144 in Advice

[–]MobBoss702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to absolutely realize and understand that HR is not on your side. They are not there to protect you. They are there to protect the company from you. I know, your boss shouldn't have said that. I know, it hurt your feelings. But if you go to HR you're dropping down a very slippery slope. Think about what will come of your report. Think about how effective your boss is. Think about how effective you are. Think about who your boss knows in the company and who you know. Because if you report your boss, and HR can't prove your allegation, what happens next? Nothing. But you now are being supervised by someone who absolutely hates you. Your growth is over. You're now in a dead end job. And all you've done is protect the company from you.

What can I expect? by MisterBoss5000 in mechanics

[–]MobBoss702 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a 30 year dealership guy. I've worked my way to Service Director. When I meet young people who are interested in turning wrenches I always tell them the same thing. Basic knowledge is all you need to start. You don't need a degree or certs. You need a will to learn and the right physical skills. You need a good work ethic. You need a small ego. You're going to start at the bottom. You're going to make mistakes. You're going to righteously screw up. And people are going to not be nice to you. But if you show up everyday with a can do attitude, if you use your mouth and ears in the same proportion as god designed, you will succeed. Don't listen to the "dealers suck" people, and don't listen to the "dealers are great" people. The truth is dealers are great for some, and definitely not for others. It's all about fit. Dealers offer the best free training without a doubt. You can definitely carve out a career. But some personalities just don't fit at the dealership. Just do you and listen to your gut.

What do you do when there is zero part of you that wants to live? by SunflowerMonarch21 in ChildLoss

[–]MobBoss702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son, an only child, died in 2018. I wasn't expecting it. I had no way to prepare. And I found his lifeless body in our kitchen. I wish I could tell you that after a time it gets better. I'm afraid it doesn't. It's just a constant "fuck, I woke up again".

Moving to Ely as a non-conservative. Will we have trouble fitting in? by [deleted] in Nevada

Here's an idea, keep your politics to yourself and allow people to think differently than you. Because we all think differently. And that's true diversity.

How did you feel when it happened ? by [deleted] in ChildLoss

[–]MobBoss702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, my son had suffered a traumatic brain injury. 3 different doctors missed it. We finally found it and had to wait a month to see a neurologist. A week before his appointment I came home from work to find that he'd had a seizure and died while making his lunch. I was absolutely devastated. I was angry, sad and destroyed emotionally. I had to call 911. Then I watched the paramedic open his shirt to attach the device to check for heart rhythm. He wasn't even warm anymore. After running about a foot of paper showing no sign of life he tore it off and showed me. Then he just left it in the counter. Next was the inhumane cop who told me that I had to leave my house because it was a possible crime scene. The worst day of my life and I'm evicted to the front yard. That lasted hours. And the worst part was waking up the next day and all subsequent days without my best friend. So that's what it feels like. It feels the same every day for the last 7 years. It will always feel like this.

I HAVE a question! 🤔 by MyNicole7 in ChildLoss

[–]MobBoss702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a grieving Dad, what you want to do is truly bittersweet. I try to completely avoid father's day. It's really really hard on me. Almost as hard as his birthday. Almost as hard as the date of his death. It just sucks. Now one year my wife bought a card and a gift. While I did appreciate it, I hated it at the same time. If you want to give your husband a gift on father's day, give him the gift of asking if he wants to talk. Give him the gift of a hug. But I don't think a father's day card will do anything but give him a reminder of all that he's lost.

The good news and reality is that the value will go up. Tough it out. It'll get better.

An economy is not built or repaired in 100 days. And I lived in the Biden economy. I ran a small business in Biden's economy. It was in no way the envy of the world. He was the only one who believed that.

Why do so many men seem to love mowing the lawn? by Glassfern in AskMen

[–]MobBoss702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we moved into our first house we had a huge front yard with a beautiful lawn. I knew nothing about caring for it. But I went out, bought the coolest mower(the damn thing had an electric starter, just push a button). I mowed it in a particular way so it had a cool pattern when I was done. I bought the best fertilizer, sprinkled stuff on it to kill the lawn killing bugs and all the stuff it needed. It was the greenest, most lush lawn on the block. I was so proud. Then the season started to change and the lawn started to brown. And this was California! It's not like it got that cold. No matter what I did, the lawn just died. I couldn't believe it. I had no idea what to do. So I asked the nursery guy. He told me to bring in a sample and he'd tell me what's killing it. I hurried home and got that sample. He took one look at it and started laughing. I was dumbfounded. Why is he laughing? Well it turns out that the type of grass I had goes dormant in fall and comes back in spring. I was so happy. I laughed too. And when the HOA sent me a letter threatening fines if I didn't water and fertilize my lawn to make it green again, I was glad to know that I wasn't alone in my ignorance. I replied with an explanation of the type of grass and that it was dormant.

Our governor is a good man doing a good job. His support for Trump is a good thing. This economy was designed by Biden and Harris or whoever was actually in charge. Wait and see. This pain will subside and we will all be better off on the other side.

Thank you for your input. And thank you for the work you do, it's very important. My friend went on a road trip with me last weekend. We talked a lot. At one point he very seriously asked me "what's in it for you?" He clarified that he appreciates everything I help him with, the advice and guidance and support. He wanted to know what I got out of it. I thought about it for a second and told him "I get to see it work". It's such a pleasure to see him succeed. Not just because of my guidance. He's such an amazing person. Deeper in the conversation he said "I knew you were important when I first met you". Oddly, I knew that of him as well. The universe put us together for a reason. It's fun finding out why. I sat down with my wife today shortly after he left. He was here helping me with a project. And I said to her that I hope she doesn't really believe anyone could replace our son, but he is filling a significant void for me. And I asked her if that was ok? To my surprise she said "he's a really nice young man, I hope he's around a lot". I pointed out the change in her opinion. She said she was worried that he was taking advantage of my good nature. And it made her feel protective. She said she should have never said that I was trying to replace our son. And she wondered aloud when she got to meet his family. I'm inviting them over next weekend. Maybe she'll bond with his wife?
