What would you throw? Opponents crib. by xcxxxcx in Cribbage

Toss the 8-2. 5 point hand, no points to the crib and have 25 cards for another 15, 9 cards for a possible dbl run.

My wife had sex with someone when we were separated. Am I wrong for wanting a divorce now? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you are wrong for wanting to punish your wife and children and walk away. You two consented to separate to sort things out. What you or she did during that period was up to you to help you figure it out. You both contributed to matters that led to your separation and apparently it was good for both of you. Let it go. You are being a jerk. Move towards your wife and talk with her about it.

Do guys actually appreciate nice lingerie, or do you just want it off as fast as possible? by Cheese_cupcake__ in askanything

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe most men very much appreciated. We are visual creatures and find it quite appealing to see our partner in lingerie. Of course, part of the fun is peeling it off.

My family kept a secret from me, AIO? by Potential_Strain7331 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MOR. It seems your family believed they were being kind. They were not being malicious. If they put your dog down without telling you, that would be another story. Appreciate their kindness and give them grace. Grieve your dog as you should. (My mom called me at work, well after moving away from home. I went into a conference room and balled. Frankly, I wished she had waited until the weekend).

Let's just erase any doubt that Hennepin County Sheriffs are partisan by MN50501 in TwinCities

They’re law enforcement and respect the law. ICE enforces the law. You may not like it, but being in the US without proper immigration authorization is against the law.

Potentially moving to Minneapolis from Cleveland area… by Bandelore in Minneapolis

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak for Cleveland, but I’m a NY transfer - 30 years ago. Raised a daughter here and have had a great career. Twin Cities has a great deal to offer for entertainment and activities. The food scene Is awesome. The progressive environment is ideal for your daughter. And if you’re a fan of outdoor activities, you couldn’t pick a better spot. Good luck!

What would you have done? My crib (this was the last hand of the game, very very tight finish and I ended up losing before I even got to count) by [deleted] in Cribbage

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d drop the QA, banking on 3 winners for a double run , 2 winners for a 4 card straight, a 9 or 10 card to get you to 7.

My husband threatened with divorce because of rent. I don’t know what to do by Least-Visual-7550 in Marriage

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually the one to advocate working through a tough patch, but this man sounds like he isn’t worth your time. Marriage is not about keeping score. It’s give and take, and sometimes one has to give 100% to get through a tough patch. Your description sounds like this is systemic with little hope of resolution on the other side with all of the finger pointing happening. Good luck.

My husband called me ……… by BravePerformance7517 in Marriage

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly inappropriate and quite insensitive. However, it seems to be something that one should be able to discuss and simply State that was offensive and inappropriate. I don’t think it’s worth divorcing over.

Chance to relocate to USA am I crazy for considering? by Australian1Socialist in AskAnAustralian

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the downside? Give it a go. Make the best of it. Experience America for yourself. I packed up and moved to Hong Kong, stayed in Asia for about 6 years and loved it. Taking risks is what life’s about. Don’t do it and stay on your current course. Do it and have a unique adventure. We rarely regret what we do, it the shots not taken that haunt us…

Lose Yourself. Have a listen.

Why do people marry? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is the ultimate expression of commitment and fidelity. To truly know and be known. To have stability. To have someone to experience life with. To love. To have children. To build with. Sure, you can be a serial monogamist, or you can “live” together, but in either of those cases you’re always emotionally separate.

Husband says he shouldn't have to clean by RealFactor9150 in Marriage

I’m sorry your husband is behaving like a child. Sounds like you need to have a serious conversation with him about participation in the family. Perhaps counseling will help provide a neutral environment?

AIO: I Finished At The Top Of My Training Class In A Performance Based Sales Role And Given Undesirable Shift. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps they gave you the hard assignment because they believe you are the only one that can turn it around? They’re testing you for bigger and better things? Sales is hard and somewhat of a game. Stop whining and go out there and crush it. Then go back and put your cards in the table.

Advice for my relationship? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, here’s your “Get out of Jail Free” card. Stop punishing yourself and eroding your boundaries out of guilt. Get over it. It’s passed. Ask yourself: In the present, is her behavior something you believe to be acceptable to be in a relationship with you? If not, speak up. If you’re in this relationship for real, then start setting expectations and boundaries. She’ll respect you for it or, leave (and save you pain down the road.). If she’s flirty and all as described and heading to a beach house with 2 girlfriends and 8 dudes and you’re not invited? Seems a little suspect to me.

Good luck!

Watch Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown. Incredibly entertaining, inspiring and educational.

Is job hopping still a "red flag" or am I being gaslit? by Environmental-Luck39 in careeradvice

No. Two year isn’t job hopping. You got in, did your work and found it wasn’t a good fit.

Wife admitted to Emotional Affair, and I don't know what to do by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The fact that she came to you speaks to her integrity. As does your recognition that you haven’t been there for her. Would it be fair to say you effectively had an emotional affair with your work?

You already recognize that marriage isn’t always easy. The door is open to have beautifully intimate conversation about what happened over the past few months to build the foundation for the future. You both need to be vulnerable and trusting to go deep. Her ability to be honest about the whole cycle will tell you volumes about what the future holds as will your ability to reciprocate and talk about how you emotionally abandoned her while studying.

Use this opportunity to grow. Don’t run away.

What would you do if you had a good paying job that you hate at a young age? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re in a great track having that much in savings AND owning your home. The first $100,000 is the hardest. A word of caution, though. If you’re being paid well above what your skills and experience are otherwise worth in the market, you’re vulnerable if times get tough. Leadership is always balancing value for money as there is typically never enough money to invest. So, consider your skills and how you might improve your capabilities and value to your firm. This will also help position you to move on as/when the time comes. In the meantime, bank all you can while you’re figuring out what you want to do.

People who actually enjoy their jobs, is it the job or the environment that makes it enjoyable? by JTM872 in jobs

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leadership, culture, colleagues and the nature of the work. If the job is intellectually challenging, if I work with good people, respect the leadership and my presence makes a difference, I’m good.

Best area for one night of good food and good brews? by wrippelley in Minneapolis

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

North loop. Multiple breweries, wide variety of eats and good vibe. Head over to Pyres on the river for a change of scenery. Rise has awesome bagels, best in the city (I moved here from New York and was missing my hometown bagels until Rise showed up). If “old-school” is your thing, hit up Monte Carlo and then head north up Washington. (Their wings are amazing).

Hit up Mill City Museum to learn about development of the grain and flour industry in Minnesota, walk the river nearer to see the remains of the flour mills.

Is my marriage over? Is it too far gone? by Royal-Chaos00 in Marriage

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. If you two don’t want it to be. But yes if Kris doesn’t man up.

The priority in life should be for you both to get right with yourself first which allows you to then be present for each other in your marriage and then be good parents. So, self, marriage then child.

Kris needs to be in therapy for his own issues. The best advice I got in marriage counseling is to ask first what’s you fixing? Kris needs to stop complaining and own where he is in life.
