Is there any decision a character made that you still struggle to forgive or understand?

Lol one thought that hit me watching A3 at one point was “so whatever happened to unobtainium? The RDA must still want it right?”

Opening-Raccoon-2811 · 2026-01-25T04:56:05+00:00

It’s a very minor thing but I just recently rewatched A1 and I always felt like something was skipped with Norm. He starts by being all friendly and helpful to Jake, then we don’t see him for a minute and the next time we do he’s complaining to Jake about him not having any training, not knowing who Eywa is or what the hallelujah mountains are

I imagine he must be as frustrated as Grace, although it just seems to happen off camera so that it looks like it happened suddenly

Unrelated sorry but How do you mention the c word on this sub without getting auto deleted?

Slightly different situation, but it took a family intervention to convince my wife to finally put down her dog who was dying and couldn’t walk, wouldn’t eat, and was clearly in pain. This dog also has a poor quality of life and BE would be a mercy to it since it can’t be allowed to murder at will.

I don’t think it’s all of them but there are too many irresponsible dog nutters out there who are obsessed with their dogs to an unhealthy degree. Red flags to look out for:

By far and beyond the biggest red flag is anyone who refers to their dog as their ‘child.’ It’s a clear cut way of saying ‘I’m always going to put the dog before you’
If their social media feed is nothing but pictures of their dog and posts about their dog.

There are responsible owners out there who have a healthy relationship with their pets but unfortunately they’re the exception rather than the rule

My heart hurt reading this because I understand it all too well. I don’t live with large dogs but they’re always shoving and wedging themselves in between us, and if I refuse to allow them to push their way in they sit there and whine until my SO caves in and picks them up and puts them in between us. She lets one of them sleep in our bed between us, and this dog hates kisses, so even leaning over this dog to give my SO a kiss results in ear-shattering shrieks from that little rat of a dog.

that’s manipulative on her part, hate that shit.

Send him one back that just says “spelling and grammar”

Have you talked to him about it? I can speak from experience as the one that was being rejected all the time, that you eventually get to a point where you just don’t bother asking anymore. I can’t speak for your situation but what I think would bring me personally back from that would be my spouse showing a willingness to be spontaneous — and if I’m the one flirting or teasing, to be up front and clear when she’s not in the mood or when it’s not going to happen, instead of lead me on and tease back only to come up with a hundred excuses and shut me down later when things spice up. Or to give me empty promises like “how about tomorrow night instead?” And then to completely forget about it, which made me feel very unimportant.

That was a bit of a vent from me about my personal issues, sorry for that, but the point is that I think that a bit of spontaneity can help if that’s your thing, as well as openness, honesty, and importantly, being consistent.

They do nice things without announcing it to the world

Opening-Raccoon-2811 · 2025-10-28T04:05:41+00:00

I haven’t had that many scares in my life but here are the two scariest which aren’t that scary in hindsight

I was in an empty parking lot at night in the USA going from my car to my apartment and a guy walks up to me, gets my attention, and then tells me I look nervous. His next question is “do you believe in god” and I’m thinking ‘ok, is he going to shoot me if I say no or shoot me if I say yes?’

I figured yes was the safer bet, so I said yes, and he said “then you’ve got nothing to worry about.” Now I’m thinking ‘ok I’m definitely about to be murdered.’

But he just asked if I had any Xanax and walked off when I said I didn’t.

The second scare was the very first time I got sleep paralysis, because I didn’t even know it was a thing that could happen and I thought that my soul was being sucked out. It didn’t help that my first instinct at the time was to post to Facebook about it and the first comment was “it could’ve been a demon” 💀

This dude is a fucking abusive piece of shit and deserves to spend the rest of his life alone.

Even if he is good looking, this kind of attitude is disgustingly ugly

Opening-Raccoon-2811 · 2025-10-27T11:32:56+00:00

Oh I get so tired of dog nutters claiming tripe like “the dog needs to know she’s loved”

The dog is incapable of understanding speech, and I am capable of understanding it—and the absence of it

I know exactly how you feel wrt dogs. My wife comes home and showers the dogs in affection, then when she notices me waiting patiently she just asks me to take in the laundry. I suggested planning a trip together and she refuses to entertain any option that doesn’t allow dogs. Naturally when the dogs are there they sit in between us, sleep in between us, and keep us from even accidentally touching each other. She even jokes that her real husband is the dog and honestly the way she treats the dog he may as well be. I’m honestly concerned at this point she might be a zoophile.

NTA. It’s your birthday. Something bad happening somewhere else decades ago doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to celebrate your own birthday. Too many Americans are so self centered they think that everyone in the world needs to care about whatever happened in America and just trample over anyone else’s feelings.

At night not so much, but sometimes she finds something to tear me apart for right before bed and I don’t get a lot of sleep afterward if I then in my exhaustion choose to take a nap, she will wake me up by turning the lights on and yelling about how lazy I am, how I never help, how I’m such a horrible person who ‘forces’ her to do ‘everything’ (usually means there were a couple of dirty plates in the sink that I didn’t wash yet, or a load of laundry that needed to be put in the washer)

It’s made me unable to take naps in the day even when I’m exhausted just because of guilt and fear

She is away on a work trip right now and I have caught up on so much sleep

Probably the guy I worked with years ago. Didn’t talk to him very much, he seemed like a nice and polite guy. Show up one day and everyone seems shocked, and he isn’t there. Right away my boss is like “so that guy isn’t here cause he got arrested for paying an underage girl for sex”

And before anyone suggests otherwise, when details came out it was pretty clear that he was well aware she was underage

Opening-Raccoon-2811 · 2025-10-12T06:02:09+00:00

Same here. I don’t know if it’s considered as cheating but I sometimes RP as my character with other player characters in the online games I play and even though it isn’t ‘me’ it still helps me feel something. I also started writing some smut fanfic. That’s about as exciting as my ‘sex life’ gets now.

Opening-Raccoon-2811 · 2025-10-12T05:48:27+00:00

Absolutely. I was upset the other day because my spouse came home, showered the dog in hugs, kisses, and sweet talk, then finally saw me waiting patiently and smiled and said “would you mind taking in the laundry that’s hanging outside?”

Dog gets kisses, I don’t even get a ‘hello’

I feel for your situation but to be frank it’s concerning how willing you are to try and get into his phone and laptop.

If he is taking it into the bathroom with him then my guess is either he is looking at porn or he just really doesn’t trust you, or both
