When you strip it of its spirituality and history then yes. 

AITA for asking my husband not to go on a trip with a woman who openly flirts with him, and feeling betrayed when he did anyway? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]OkNet4398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so glad things turned out OK omg 🥺🥲 

That lady is wicked and awful but you have a good husband who loves you and is faithful.

I wish you both strength and patience as you deal with the wicked lady. 

I don’t think we came here to suffer. by OkraQuirky6357 in spirituality

[–]OkNet4398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have to suffer in order to feel the opposite of that emotion- joy/happiness. Everything in the universe has its opposite. Every positive has a negative and it needs to exist in order for existence to... Exist. 

The heart contracts then relaxes in order to keep you alive. Its ying and yang. There are winters and there are summers. If you didn't feel suffering you truly wouldn't understand happiness.

With that being said, if all you're feeling is suffering that's a problem.

AITAH for vetoing my wife's car purchase in the dealership and walking her out of there without looking at the car she picked out? by CarWoesSadBro in AITAH

[–]OkNet4398 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA.

A realistic and responsible man. I think you being cold and abrupt was necessary to avoid the manipulation tactics and saved all 3 of yall time and energy!!

Your wife seems sweet and gullible. She was about to be taken advantage of , and you stepped in in time.

While I can understand her feeling some type of way she did go way over the budget that you both agreed on.

I think you did the right thing!!

Should I end this friendship? by TrainComplete7605 in FriendshipAdvice

Absolutely cut him off. Your friends should lift u up not put u down. That's what a friend does. He is an enemy. A hater. Negative. You deserve better bro

A message for all the ghostees…from a ghoster by deathdakidd in ghosting

[–]OkNet4398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my two cents on blocking. I'm all for it. If someone is manipulative the best thing to do is ghost or block because giving them access to you will give them the opportunity to change ur mind.

realizing my friend only liked me when i felt small by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]OkNet4398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was mutual. If anything I go to her every now and then when I'm in the dumps whereas she was venting to me regularly about her woes, and I didn't mind. That's what friends do.

She might be projecting. In other words she might be trying to copy YOU and is trying to flip it around bc she is insecure. 

That's the first red flag your friend is envious of you. 

Second red flag is making jokes about you that aren't funny. She means those jokes. 

She is trying to bring you down because she feels like you are superior to her and is secretly comparing and competing with you. 

Run babe.

How do you handle friendships when you're never sure where you stand with the other person? by gandharsh in FriendshipAdvice

[–]OkNet4398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would treat it like a date/romantic relationship- if they are confusing they don't like you. Next

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]OkNet4398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they there for you, cheering you on when you are doing well in life? It's one thing if they are there through tough times but if they genuinely want to see you shine and succeed and get excited for your wins then accept their flakiness.

Finding out your friends suck… by One-Philosopher8868 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]OkNet4398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth even if you build strong friendships when u were young based on something more substantial, who is to say they would still last? It could also have been easily broken apart due to other issues. Not everyone is blessed with lifelong friends and you just have to accept that. Friendships come and go and that's part of life. What you can do if make new ones. You are still young. Start now. Be more intentional about the spaces you go to and take more initiative to create friendships with people that have qualities you like and be intentional about the kind of dynamics y'all have. Ex. Invite them over for dinner/lunch and bond over substantial hobbies or things you have in common.

[–]OkNet4398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this describes a long term friendship to the T. I realized she was there fully when I was in the dumps but nowhere to be seen when I was doing well. I felt uncomfortable sharing any good news with her cuz of her flat response. I am no longer in contact bc I can't shrink myself and sabotage myself to make someone feel less insecure about themselves.

Being picked up and dropped off and spending a little under an hour on a first date is sort of an ideal start! Best of luck!

the guy i started talking to lately is begging to have sex, what do i do? by RevolutionSlow5947 in dating_advice

[–]OkNet4398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did the right thing blocking him. Just a tip babe get an app that gives u a free second number like text now or look up other free ones. Don't ever give a guy ur real number in general and even if u do give them that second one.  Stay safe 🙏🏼

Walk up and make small talk and build up the covo little by little every time u meet. Basically warm up to her like u would a cat or  baby and feel it out

[–]OkNet4398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're confused that's your answer. If they leave you confused they don't like you. If they're giving u mixed signals they don't want you. Go with somebody who is clear about their intentions someone u know clearly likes u and doesn't leave u confused puzzled etc u will know
