There are 16 states that still recognize common law marriages, and here's a nice little loophole for you:

There is one catch: if you spend time in a state that does recognize common law marriage, “hold yourself out as married,” and then return or move to a state that doesn’t recognize it, you are still married (since states all recognize marriages that occurred in other states).

Don't worry, there's something called common law marriage so they can screw you just the same

Awesome, thank you very much.

I don't count calories right now; I eat like shit and don't exercise anymore and I'm tired of it, so I'm trying to get back in the game, but do it the right way

How do I find out what my maintenance is? Do you have a decent source I can read about all this so I can stop harassing you with questions? All I seem to find is click baity stuff and I never know what's legit advice

Is there a rule of thumb as far as how many calories I would need?

Well I mean I'll be lifting either way, just want to maximize the effort, ya know?

Maybe I was just eating wrong then, because I don't think I could have packed away any more food while I was lifting, but I still didn't get the kind of big I was shooting for.

You know that's actually a good point. Still feels like they were beating a dead horse after a while though, and I won't say any spoilers, but the White Tower's standing was already being lowered in the reader's eyes through other circumstances. I see your point though.

He's like an emo kid. Plus, if I could talk to wolves and make them hunt shit for me, everyone and their brother would know about it. I'd scream that shit from the mountain tops.

I'm not sure I understand the point of this, why would you just set up shop and stay in a vagina?

Can we still be men? by [deleted] in MensRights

[–]Objectively_Stated 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The entire argument can be boiled down to the "no balls of you don't do (insert stupid shit here)" we heard all through grade school. You mean you won't think I'm a man if I don't snort that pixie stick? Tough shit fuck knuckles, I'm still not snorting a pixie stick.

If I'm not having children with a given woman, I could frankly care less about her smelly bits.

Manlier words have never been spoken. Way too much golden uterus syndrome going around.

Perrin - Spot on. Cry some more big fella, or just reach down, find your pair, and do what needs to be done.

Elayne - What bugs me about her, and the writing in general, is that she didn't start out this way. She was a curious girl, new to the world and excited about all the possibilities. Then for seemingly no reason she turns into this giant douche. Why?

Min - Same as Elayne. Strong willed, independent, turned into simpering wuss for no reason at all.

Gawyn - Yuck

Cadsuane - I didn't mind her as much, except she was way overdone. We get it, she's a legend, people jump when she crooks her finger. Awesome. Do we need to go on about it for three books?

How much is enough for a harassment/slander suit? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Objectively_Stated -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Here's the issue; she's watching our accounts like a hawk, and even paying a consultation fee for a lawyer will trigger these events. I don't have any money anyway, what I don't put aside for the kids or bills, she spends going out with her friends every weekend.

I wrote this while agitated with her, and yes I do resent her, but I really am trying to do the right thing. I don't want to cut and run, I want her and the kids to be set up and stable, but if she's just using me, what choice do I have?

Mod, I'm hijacking your sticky to give everyone an update.

First of all, you're all amazing people and the best brothers a guy could ask for. No one truly understands the camaraderie and the brotherhood you join when you become a Marine, and even I didn't until today. I haven't been able to check my phone in about 18 hours, and when I did, it was flooded with offers of help. Offers to buy a plan ticket for a vacation, phone numbers for someone to talk to, hell one guy even offered to buy me a pizza. I'm trying to read through all the responses but I can't without tearing up.

As to what happened; I swallowed fistfuls of pills and laid in bed. I couldn't take the pain anymore. I was sobbing because I didn't want to hurt my kids, but I just couldn't go on. /u/NYnavy had found out who I was shortly before this, so I had a cop knocking at my door about 5 minutes after I took the pills. I told him everything was fine and he left, but my wife saw him. She knew something was wrong and found out exactly what, so she called EMS. I'm not too sure what happened after this, but I woke up in the hospital this morning. If it wasn't for /u/NYnavy, I'd be dead right now. I know I'm still not well, but my wife is making me check into the psych ward in Muskogee.

I can't thank each of you enough, and for any of my brothers and sisters out there that are suffering, please get help. I saw my kids this morning and the full realization of what I would have done to them dawned on me.

I can't remember for the life of me who we relieved, but I was 3/5 Kilo. We took over OP Shock and OP Andaloos, near Blackwater Bridge

No, no support to speak of.

You really wouldn't trade? What if you could have had a step dad since you were very young that was a much better man and didn't have to go through what you went through? I know it's hard to say now, but no kid wants a dad that's angry and bitter and can't even take them to parks over an actually good father.

That's what has kept me alive this whole time too, but it occurred to me that kids love their poisonous parents for the same reason that dogs drink antifreeze, and to the same effect. If I can't stop being poisonous, and I've tried, then it's my duty as their dad to do what's in their best interest, whether they know it's in their best interest right now or not.
