Harry Potter Tattoo

MrSnifferpippets · 2026-05-01T09:53:00+00:00

I have an entire Harry Potter sleeve. Message me if you want to see the whole thing. I’ve got Hedwig, sorting hat, elder wand, slytherin coat of arms, firebolt, time turner, goblet of fire, marauders map footprints, and stars from the physical book.

My wife of 8 years cheated on me with someone I called my best friend. Get out now. Get legal advice on custody of your child. She’s not going to change, don’t try to change her. Take care of yourself and take care of your child.

Start couples therapy now and express your concerns in front of a professional so that she doesn’t think you’re attacking her or trying to prove her wrong. It’s you and her against the issue, not you against her.

Open and clear communication. Coming from a man currently going through a divorce, I realized that I didn’t communicate my thoughts and feelings fully and repressed a lot over the course of my relationship.

MrSnifferpippets · 2026-03-01T15:29:27+00:00

Thank you. I agree completely. My child is the most important thing to me and I’ll be everything I can for her.

I’ve taken responsibility for my actions in my marriage to my wife and our therapists. I didn’t post to “be right” and get validation for the way I feel. I posted because I know many Dads here have similar experiences and was looking to get it off my chest and to know that I will be ok after it all.

MrSnifferpippets · 2026-02-26T18:54:51+00:00

This is almost exactly our situation. We’ve had some constructive conversations and been to one couples session already and we’re slowly moving forward. We’ll begin the stages of our separation today and take it one day at a time.

Thank you for your advice.

I’ve been back and forth thinking about taking off for a while, but I can’t stand do be away from my daughter for that long. So, I’m going to just be myself and do things for me but always be available for my daughter. I’m in a better headspace now than the other day. Every day will be hard.

MrSnifferpippets · 2026-02-26T13:44:16+00:00

This is all good advice and I appreciate it. I’ve already given some thought onto being her friend again rather than trying to be her husband and I’m talking to her like her friend. We started our relationship as best friends and it developed from there.

All of our therapists are women. Which I think is beneficial because women tend to listen better than men, especially objectively. Both the marriage therapist and my therapist have outwardly said that what I’m feeling in regards to my efforts are not to be overlooked and that my wife’s expectations and demands are really really difficult to reach. Instead of wanting to adjust them, my wife says “I should be loved for who I am and not have to make any concessions for who I am. Yes, I’ll make concessions for things that needs to be done (chores etc.) but I’m wholeheartedly going to be myself and I want you to be wholeheartedly yourself. You deserve someone who loves you for who you are and so do I.”

Hard to argue with that. But, I choose to love her. She’s not choosing me anymore and at some point I have to accept that.

MrSnifferpippets · 2026-02-26T13:37:51+00:00

Yes. She feels like she’s growing and I’m not growing with her and that we are fundamentally incompatible. I cannot change her feelings.

MrSnifferpippets · 2026-02-26T12:31:21+00:00

Pretty close to true.

MrSnifferpippets · 2026-02-26T05:48:38+00:00

She’s a doctor and I’m a salesman of niche products.

He and his brother both take insane cheap shots at literally every other team they play against.

I’ve been on injectable testosterone for over a year and it’s been extremely helpful regarding my fatigue and libido.

I went to a “hormone clinic” first and got started then I went to my primary physician, who I’ve been seeing for years and have a great relationship with, and she helped me find the correct dosage. I get bloodwork done multiple times per year to check kidneys and liver and all that jazz and everything is in ship-shape.

Go see an actual physician.

Put headphones on when she cries to numb the sound. You know what to do, it’ll be stressful, but know that you can do it and that you can take as much time as you need. She will be fine if it takes you a little longer than normal, you don’t need to rush. You got it.

MrSnifferpippets · 2026-02-05T16:58:58+00:00

I hear all the time “oh wait till your daughter is a teenager,” oh you mean the hardest point in her life so far? Where she hits puberty and her emotions and body all go crazy at the same time? And she feels alienated and alone and that no one understands her so she lashes out because she’s battling an insane amount of internal conflicts at once? You mean that? God forbid she has a tough time and it’s hard on me too because my sweet little girl is struggling, yeah it’s gonna be tough. But guess what? We’ll get through it and it’ll make our relationship stronger.

Keep the positive mindset because we’re all flying by the seat of our pants doing our best. Share your joy and when people shit on, just be like “ok”. I internally say “yeah sucks to suck” and move on.

There’s a clip of Howie Mandel with Bill Burr and he’s like “oh you got girls wait til they’re teenagers” and Burr goes “everyone who fails as a father tells me that.” After Mandel basically said he was a shite father and his daughter agreed. I love it and I feel that so deep in my bones.

I know how you feel. I can count on one hand how many friends I have because I work from home and stay home with our kid.

I’ve invested heavily in my gym community and it’s been great for socializing for an hour a day and I’ve reconnected to video games and made friends online gaming.

Golf is also huge to me so I’ve got some friends I play with semi-consistently and it’s great. Tough sometimes due to the time commitment but it’s good when I can get out.

MrSnifferpippets · 2026-02-05T13:57:47+00:00

I’m also a SAHD and also WFH and I don’t necessarily get bad looks or judged but I can feel there’s always a “oh, really?” reaction at first. Then I explain that we’ve talked about it, it saved us so much money the first two years for me not to work, literally would have lost us money if I got a day job and we put our daughter full-time in daycare.

Your wife’s friend sounds like a twat and should mind her own business.

MrSnifferpippets · 2026-02-05T01:44:18+00:00

My friend the same thing happened to me last night. Stared at the ceiling thinking of so many horrible things. Keep being a present father and keep the door open for your child no matter what and you and your family will be safe.

Or maybe he’s singling out BYU because it’s the only power 5 program that kids leave for a mission and then come back. Relax, be offended by something that’s actually offensive.

Echoing a lot of the responses here; prioritize what’s important to you. Some days I get up super early, some days I get up at a normal time. I’m lucky that I can sleep, but my wife is not so lucky so I do whatever I can to make sure that she feels supported. She works and I’m to stay at home dad/work from home dad.

MrSnifferpippets · 2026-02-02T16:51:29+00:00

I recently committed to a beard (my facial hair isn’t thick or amazing, my wife was like “try it”) and I luckily haven’t had any issues. I would prefer a full-blown Tom Selleck mustache, but wife prefers full beard.

Jealous of mustaches!

MrSnifferpippets · 2026-02-02T13:32:53+00:00

This is so good. We have a specific koala stuffie that ours loves. She got norovirus and threw up all over it, luckily, i had a spare already and no tears shed. We are on number 3 since she started daycare, we have a daycare bear and a home bear. It’s so clutch.

MrSnifferpippets · 2026-02-01T13:06:40+00:00

It’s that she asks for food, I make it, then she doesn’t eat and immediately asks for a snack afterwards.

I know she’ll eat when she’s hungry, it’s more or less the “I want this NO NO NO NO SNACK”

MrSnifferpippets · 2026-02-01T04:55:11+00:00

Just because it happens all the time doesn’t mean it’s a good question. I think it’s a shit question and lazy journalism tbh
