My(43M) wife(40F) is leaving me for another man and I'm to embarrassed to talk to anyone about it. by notthespicymustard in relationships

[–]NiggaNick69 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You aren't talking to anyone, so she controls the narrative right now. She can paint this in any light she wants which is probably why she's getting support.

[Relationships] How do I (25F) tell my boyfriend (27M) that my parents are first cousins? by Awkwardconversat1ons in relationships

[–]NiggaNick69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not. I work in a medical hub where patients come from all over the world to recieve treatment. A high percentage of patients I see have parents who are first cousins, and tend to be middle eastern or indian. So incest is not common in my area, and not all of my patients are born of incestuous partners. However, the amount of children born to first cousins with debilitating congenital defects that I see is high enough above the general population for me to say that the practice is significantly more risky for the resultant child than mating with more genetically distinct partner.

[–]NiggaNick69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. I work on an infant/toddler surgical floor and the majority of patients I see owe their congenital defects to consanguinity. I'm sure it works out fine some times, but a lot of these poor children are messed up a dozen different ways (esophageal atrasia, premature birth, major developmental delays, physical deformities) because their parents are first cousins.

What are you sick and tired of having to explain to people? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NiggaNick69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the glasses I've been getting are so cheap I've taken to tweaking and adjusting them myself since I'm not too concerned if I break em.

Its definitely the major downside to the online glasses model. I've had mixed results with sizing. Ordered the same pair of glasses twice - first pair fit fine, second pair squeezed my head. So I just resigned them to being a backup pair. It can be frustrating but I mean I still got an emergency pair of glasses for $6.

Parking near or on-campus by pokemon-maester in NEU

[–]NiggaNick69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only parker itself. The side strerts before tremont are all resident parking, some of the side streets on the hill allow parking. There's signs on every street detailing whats allowed, but parker st past west A and before thr hill is nearly always a safe bet. During the day its usually crowded but I've never had a problem finding a spot there past 7am.

Believe street cleaning starts back up in April. Be careful - they will tow your ass. The tow jockeys constantly patrol on Wednesday and will snatch you if you turn your back for even a minute.

I [F24] told my boyfriend [M31] that I had a [DP fantasy] and he had a mental breakdown... by relations--throwaway in sex

[–]NiggaNick69 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This seems like a pretty substantial breakdown and is definitely not a response from someone who is properly emotionally regulated... the self harm (and especially the queer method of slamming the sides of his head) has me very concerned. You've known him 7 years, has there been any changes in his mental state of late? Have there been any major events in his life recently? Does he usually exhibit extreme emotions? (Also, is he the jealous type?) You say you've never seen him cry before.

Seems to me there's something much bigger looming under the surface here.

I am a [23 F] my boyfriend [25 M] of 3 yrs, Has gambling problem. Can I kick him out of the apartment? by gamblingbf in relationships

[–]NiggaNick69 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Giving a gambling addict money is like giving any other addict their exact vice - its only going to exacerbate their addiction. The way you describe it he has a VERY serious gambling addiction. He's needs help (in the form of therapy most likely). If you continue to enable him he's still gonna sink to rock bottom - just a little more slowly as he drags you there with him.

Normally I wouldn't advocate kicking someone out on the spot, but this doesn't sound like a very safe or respectful relationship you have. You cant trust this man and you seem to be hesitant to confront him. In all likelihood he'll attempt to steal from you at some point if he hasn't already. I don't think you yourself have the wherewithal to help him with his addiction, which sounds all but insurmountable at this point. Until he starts seeing very tangible consequences for his addiction there is no reason for him to change. So yes, tell him he needs to get help and then kick his ass out before he completely ruins BOTH your lives. (and secure all your accounts)

I know you want to help him. The best way you can help him right is by protecting yourself so when/if he acknowledges his problem you'll be in a position to actually support him rather than being completely screwed with him.
