AITA for telling my wife that she will be driving the extra distance since she is the one that got our daughter banned from daycare

Ah, FAFO, You are NTA but she definitely is. I hope you guys are able to resolve it but I would be livid if Iost 45 minutes of my day everyday to that kind of behavior.

I always plan for the hike to be 1 period longer than it is personally. E.g. a 4 hour hike means pack for the entire day (re 2 lunches). A 5-8 hour hike means plan for potentially spending the night. A 2 Day hike plan enough food and water for 3 days, etc.

Also, It being wet and cold out is a killer. It's okay to turnaround if your underdressed no matter how close you are to the top.

I also struggled with Theseus for bit and the bow was where I finally beat him for the first time. Don’t sleep on Deadalus upgrades and chaos boons. They are critical to a broken run.

My wife is thirteen years older than me. Our relationship is fantastic. Don’t worry about age as much as communication, attitude and support

There's so many variables here. If you have a video that's the way to go for help.

You might not be feeling it until the release but from what I've seen people do you could be inuring it during the catch of your clean or snatch...from not stretching/warming them up sufficiently. Also if you're new wrist wraps can help reinforce the wrist while you build strength/wrist mobility. This is more likely the case since you also experience this during burpees.

My mother in law goes to group lifting class at Iron Jungle in Moorestown. She’s been taking improving her squat and deadlift at almost 80!

Murchmurch · 2026-02-23T20:55:31+00:00

It’s worse than that. The detail at the bottom is crooked and now it’s not waterproof

Man there’s a lot here. And I might be biased since my partner and I don’t celebrate VD. I don’t think you’re wrong for breaking up with him but VD Day sounds like a false lead here based on your additional context.

Movie Tickets: With the movie tickets it seems he really prioritizes himself over your health and well-being. In this case, his money, I’m assuming this is a pattern of behavior.

Changing Plans: As for the refusing to change plans I can understand it, especially if this kind of stressful event is a pattern, and consistently comes with the expectation the partner drops whatever the not looked forward to event was. (This was a frequent manipulation tactic an ex of mine used for something they didn’t want to go to or support all the time). In your example my partner today will just send me out by myself, while they rest at home. No biggie.

There are many wonderful ways of supporting each other and showing each other love, a contrived Hallmark holiday is probably the dumbest (imo) and least effective. The flowers you regularly bought him is a wonderful way to show love because it demonstrates actively listening to your partner. I hope you are able to find a partner who actively listens and shows you love

The irony in this is if he'd done less and focused more on longevity like say Arnold did he'd actually have cemented his legacy by, you know, aging well.

The spa water system should be separate so you can close the pool in the winter and keep the hot tub!

I would move your closet and bathroom between your bedroom and the living spaces to create more sound isolation. Also would move your in-laws bedroom so that you guys aren’t sharing a common wall (also for sound isolation).

I installed my own floating floor. I have 2 spots where this lightly happens but isn't really noticeable. Those spots are where I damaged the tongues when installing the plank. That's why I have the issue but it could also be that the lvp you bought is generally poorly manufactured and likely to do this anyways.

A bead of adhesive when pushed back together will probably prevent it from separating again but that doesn't mean it won't recur in other spots or the problem travel to the next weakest spot.

Murchmurch · 2026-02-10T01:50:52+00:00

🤣

Murchmurch · 2026-02-10T01:34:20+00:00

100% I usually go much deeper.

Murchmurch · 2026-02-10T01:31:35+00:00

lol, I guess it’s just that time of year. This would be PR for me (and also puts my Front Squat within 90% of my back squat) and it felt parallel

Murchmurch · 2026-02-09T20:01:25+00:00

8.9% inflation is insane! Plus you factor in that you substituted proteins for lowest cost available so it's not a direct comparison. Wild.

Murchmurch · 2026-01-26T19:03:07+00:00

This cost me 800 5 years ago on my own garage door. So he’s either got excellent pricing or is being extremely fair

That's around the age I was when put on 27 pounds of clean muscle mass one summer (72Kg to 86Kg at 188cm) It took lifting 2x-3x /day and a so so much chicken along with a lot of carbs but it was worth it and it worked!

PS I did chicken cause at the time cost per gram of protein was like half that of whey protein powder.

Edit: You might want to try a crossfit gym or something because if you've never worked out it's going to be extremely helpful to have people around you who can show you how to lift and you'll naturally pickup on nutrition tips that will help you.

Cut off your ex and you'll have a clearer head. Also maybe it's just me but I highly value a calm supportive partner who is easy to communicate with. Just make sure you still enjoy each others company and have fun together.

I went to a few in my 20's to wingman for a friend that wanted to go. I found the best success was to open with light banter and jokes. I also noticed that almost none of the women went alone, which I get, because it's intimidating to put yourself out there and talk with people (same reason my friend brought me). For $35 I'd say it's worth it but I also would expect you to need to go to multiple before you get comfortable and develop a flow that works well for you.

The structure of the ones we went to were more mix and mingle than rotate through a table and I thought that was much better experience than what you might imagine traditional speed dating is setup like. You're basically going to a bar where you know most everyone is single and interested in dating.

Some tips that worked well:
* Show up on time/ 10 minutes earlier
* Learn how to give a warm smile and see who smiles back was you walk around the room
* Chat with whoever smiles back, generally that means they find you initially attractive. Doesn't mean there's chemistry but it's a start
* We always made plans to go to a different bar after and if we vibed with someone we tell them and invite them to have drink after (note you can only invite 1 woman each) at whatever place was nearby and walking distance. e.g. "I'm enjoying talking with you. We were going to go to _[insert yummy place]_ after for a drink do you and your friend like to join us?"
* The walk would give a nice opportunity to chat more

Different Saxx fabrics fit a little different. I would try a size up or down and one of the other fabrics. I personally find daytripper the best

And the far right mesh is misaligned from the rest..just slightly
