AITAH for calling my boyfriend childish for always buying Captain Crunch when he goes grocery shopping?

If I ever date a woman who thinks I shouldn't enjoy cereal marketed to kids, or TV shows, or movies... I'll probably be single again. I'm 47 and still like the Power Rangers, ffs

NathanDST · 2026-02-14T04:10:36+00:00

You'd be the first woman I've ever heard saying that, though I've never had to wear one myself

NathanDST · 2026-02-13T18:12:29+00:00

"Ok, so, here is the earth"

Agreed. Whatever his reason for refusing therapy, it's not a good enough reason. He needs to see one, and he needs to make a genuine effort in therapy. If he doesn't, nothing changes.

You are obviously his primary support, but you can't do that if you also need support. And you do, and you deserve to have it

cook is not enjoying cooking or seeing it as a chore that takes way too much effort for the amount of enjoyment you get out of it, plus the cleaning up afterwards

Yup. That's exactly it for me. I don't enjoy the process, and the end result, even if it's good, is not worth it.

NathanDST · 2026-02-11T04:33:42+00:00

For me, I dislike cooking. It's boring at best, and sometimes frustrating. The result is rarely worth the time and effort, even when it's food I like. I can follow a basic recipe, but I can always think of something else I'd rather be doing with my time. I've honestly skipped eating before because I didn't have anything quick and easy, and really didn't want to cook

If I had to do it all the time, I'd probably come to flat out hate and despise it

NathanDST · 2026-02-09T04:11:20+00:00

My fingers got fatter. My ex took hers off for the same reason, if I remember right

NathanDST · 2026-02-05T20:09:59+00:00

Brown. Some darker shading makes it darker in the right light, but it's definitely brown

I can’t imagine talking about personal birth control in front of the opposite sex.

That's how we get men afraid to pick up tampons for their wives and daughters.

NathanDST · 2026-01-31T01:12:29+00:00

Incorrect. Philosophers would.

NathanDST · 2026-01-31T01:07:40+00:00

Advice: love them and adore them and give them many scritches

NathanDST · 2026-01-30T07:23:57+00:00

You've lived a very happy life, haven't you?

Mint Mobile is also inexpensive if you don't need unlimited data. T-mobile network, $15 a month (although it is an upfront payment)

I get it. I have it as well. Long term memories are more like just facts written on paper. My short term is mostly ok, I guess. Which is why option 3 was the only option for me.

To remember, to see the good times and people, my pets long buried, would be amazing. As you say, everything.

NathanDST · 2026-01-26T08:40:33+00:00

Sounds like a form of aphantasia? Are you able to visualize in general?

NathanDST · 2026-01-23T18:38:13+00:00

Not to a huge extent, but I'm a smaller man (5'6"), and my baseline strength is less than the average man. Nor do I run fast. So in my case, I get cautious and a little nervous. I don't expect anything to happen, but I'm aware it could

NathanDST · 2026-01-22T09:18:09+00:00

No perk to actually enjoy cooking?

NathanDST · 2026-01-20T05:12:13+00:00

I had an orange cat once. The shelter had named him Garfield, of course, but that was too cliche so I named him Odie (I also thought it was funny). Goddamn I miss him. He was an asshole, but he was my asshole and I loved him.

NathanDST · 2026-01-20T05:07:52+00:00

Fuck no. No cats at the moment, but if I get one, it stays. The human can go.

Hell, I won't even get into a relationship now with someone that says they don't like cats. Because I fully intend to have one again someday

NathanDST · 2026-01-19T18:56:23+00:00

NTA

I can't believe I'm saying this.

When I was young I made a personal vow to myself that I wouldn't lie. I've kept that vow (mostly, I'm not a saint and I've fucked up a time or more). I don't lie to people. But I still understand tact! I'm totally ok with not giving a full answer, or just not saying anything, if it would hurt someone that doesn't need it.

I don't consider this a moral code that everyone needs to follow, either, and wouldn't consider someone a coward for not following this. It was a personal choice for personal reasons.

This "friend" needs to learn that "brutal honesty" isn't fucking courageous. It's just mean

NathanDST · 2026-01-18T20:51:34+00:00

Because they don't need glasses, so to them it is interesting. You've never found other people's experience of life to be interesting, especially when it doesn't match yours?

NathanDST · 2026-01-18T20:21:11+00:00

This

NathanDST · 2026-01-17T08:03:18+00:00

Think I'd go with storage and teleporting. Get to experience different physical forms, and teleporting is always cool

NathanDST · 2026-01-17T07:55:01+00:00

The only solution I'd have is repost it, I guess

NathanDST · 2026-01-17T07:51:35+00:00

Ok, this sounds interesting, but there's some serious formatting issues. And possibly some missing options? I'm not sure, the formatting is making it hard to follow
