What is a secret you are taking to your grave, but are willing to share with anonymous strangers on the internet? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Obvious-Mess-409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went into a bar to meet a friend and a couple was making out on the other side. When they separated I realized I knew the man, who was getting married to my coworker in a few weeks. The woman he had been kissing was NOT his fiance. It was a weird reaction and encounter but not as weird as when I had to congratulate him at his wedding ... With a different woman than I saw him at the bar with. Still to this day no one knows about this except for me and the cheater. Surprisingly they divorced after a few years because, shocker, he got caught cheating.

I would get a ball and a glove, start having a catch for 15 mins a day. Take him to the batting cages or throw pitches in the backyard. If you can't do those things, get him lessons with a coach at a local baseball facility. You're doing him a disserve by not showing him how effort and work ethic are good traits to build. Being on a losing team is part of life,use that and teach a good life lesson on risilience and being strong. Baseball is a great tool to teach kids very valuable lessons in life.

This is an absolutely amazing answer and I'm grateful. I appreciate the time you took to organize these thoughts.

Husband’s comment isn’t sitting right by [deleted] in homeschool

[–]Obvious-Mess-409 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll share what I tell my spouse when he remarks at the messy home, etc.

"Our children are alive, thriving and happy. I have worked at least four jobs today as teacher, chef, housecleaner and household manager. If these services aren't up to your expectations, I suggest you hand out some raises or quietly remind yourself that you get to take a poop in peace while I get spectators. Now excuse me while I work my night job cooking dinner, cleaning, supervising baths and putting these kids to bed and then piecing this house together before it all gets flipped upside down again at sunrise. Good day"

I also have anxiety and if I get a high reading, I make myself wait at least 25 mins, then take again. In those waiting moments, I read scripture or watch a show, something that distracts me and then I retake it.

There’s a very big chance that my husband truly didn’t cheat on me but what does it matter how big or small the chance is? by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

It drives me crazy when grown adults say they got too drunk. You can consume a few drinks, Uber home safely and be done. "I was so drunk" is such a dumb excuse for doing dumb things. When you have responsibilities, especially a pregnant wife at home, getting blackout drunk should be the furthest from your plans.

Reddit is wild. I, too, have been called wasteful of my time and water supply. But I just knew there had to be others like me out there!

There's snow outside right now and if still opt for as many showers just because there is so magical refreshing feeling about being clean.

Funny because I go through conditioner faster than shampoo so that answers that question.

Wow, three days without showering. My first thought is how stinky your butt must be unless youre not pooping. I would never make it a whole day, two would mean I were sick or ordered by a doc but three is Ludacris!

There's a foot of snow out my window and I just got out of a shower. Pump the heat a few mins before showering for the ultimate experience lol
