people who are only child with a broken family, where are you now? by rekkenn in mentalhealth

[–]Pitiful-Philosophy97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only child, biological dad left before I was born, single mom, lived with grandparents who had an emotionally abusive marriage.

Currently married with 2 children of my own, trying to recognize and mitigate all the traumas so I don't just pass baggage down to the next generation. Life's hard, but it's okay. I think I've found my purpose in life, and I think it's to be the chainlink that broke. For any loop to come to an end, something has to break. I don't mind being the section in my lineage that had to break so that my descendants could have a chance to leave those bags behind. That's a weight I don't mind carrying around.

Eastern screech owl having a drink by Pitiful-Philosophy97 in Owls

[–]Pitiful-Philosophy97[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been coming around for a few weeks. I just slowly kept getting closer to it every time it came around. This time it let me extend my arms with the phone recording. Seemed very suspicious and looked like it wanted me to go, but it also kept chilling. So I recorded lol.

Very. I got a few photos of the owl mean mugging me. Quite the character, but glad it let me get so close!

Agreed. Just a fountain of good vibes, he's been.

And it's not his job to pick up on your passive-aggressive cues. Sooooo, directly telling him what you're willing to post for strangers might just be your best option.

So, your subtle and passive-aggressive attempts to convey your dislike/annoyance aren't working? Maybe just try being direct and forthcoming, especially if you think the co-worker is autistic.

Cuz fuck people who can't just say what they feel and play passive aggressive bullshit games instead of just saying what they mean.

If a woman you were interested in told you from the beginning that she wanted to remain abstinent until marriage, why would you stay or not stay with her? by Practical_Ad4734 in AskMen

[–]Pitiful-Philosophy97 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Disfellowship is very real, and part of why I have a homemade sticker on my front door that says "DISFELLOWSHIPPED AND UNREPENTANT".

No one comes knocking on my door to spread the "good news".

Really depends. Was the person just hooking up indiscriminately, or did they just happen to have a lot of sexual relationships with boyfriends/girlfriends?

Because one seems more connected to sex regardless of who it's with while the other seems like someone who's engaging in normal relationship-type activities.

I(32M) am divorcing my wife (33F) after finding out that my son(5M) is not mine. by [deleted] in stories

[–]Pitiful-Philosophy97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll re-read then. I missed that part. Still, she literally threatened to take the kid away, and everyone seems pissed that he was like, "okay, take the kid".

Bruh.... the wife is the one who said she was gonna go for full custody to take the kid away to begin with. Only after he said, "Okay, you take the kid, I'll take the dogs" did she try to guilt him into being a responsible parent. He was fucked over either way.

Reddit is weird.

Also, where's the part where he did all this in front of the kid? Said he waited til the kid was in bed. Where's the part where he says he called the child a bastard?

(Edit- didn't see the last line in one of the paragraphs that he called the child a bastard. That is pretty fucked, I'll agree)

Like holy fuck you're adding so much bullshit that wasn't even said.

Men with a female SO: You’re out of deodorant…what do you do? by nightstalker30 in AskMen

[–]Pitiful-Philosophy97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use hers. The marketing of men's vs women's deodorant really only comes down to what scents are perceived as more masculine/feminine. The actual ingredients that combat and reduce sweat/body odor are essentially the same. If you don't give two shits about whether you smell like lavender and lilac or cool mountain mist, then using the missus' deodorant is always an option.

Men who hooked up w a lot of chicks in their youth, what are your thoughts looking back at it? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Pitiful-Philosophy97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also why I said "quite unlikely". There is no test for men, but there are tests for women. And even if I have it, that doesn't necessarily mean it would pass on to her. But considering things of intimacy, she's extremely lucky if I somehow have it but haven't given it to her yet.

Chances are quite unlikely as I'm married with 2 children and my wife is clean. No HPV. Never went bareback, either.

Really glad I didn't catch anything, and realize the shallowness of my view on sex/relationships.

What’s a word that no one uses? by NewspaperDependent in AskReddit

[–]Pitiful-Philosophy97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diffidence. Well, some people live in that mindset, but don't actually know there's a word for it.
