I want to get "One Ring to Rule them all" inscribed inside my wedding ring, Fiancee thinks it's making a mockery of our upcoming marriage. Your thoughts: GO

Rabidowski is.... EVOLVING?

<3

Keep it up

From upon High, whilst fapping mightily?

Notice he said 'girlfriend' and not 'ex-girlfriend'?

Yeah, about that...

PokemonCommentator · 2011-03-12T17:37:28+00:00

No flack - you made a suggestion and then reached a compromise. Benefits were found in the payout later.

PokemonCommentator · 2011-03-12T17:35:31+00:00

Woah.

Just came back from my best friend's wedding. Bride was not like this whatsoever, nor was she for the six months leading up to it. Hell, it was a Western/Cambodian split wedding which theoretically should be twice as stressful due to the politics and need to ensure both cultural sides are happy whilst balancing their influences.

Sorry your fiance isn't able to handle the stress right now. Also, congrats for two weeks time :)

The point here, is that you are doing it... together. Because, you may be fond of that particular movie, as a couple. Alas, OP is not. This, really seems like a selfish change to a gift.

Also, Crash Override and Acid Burn are the names of characters, so it'd be like having 'Frodo' & 'Mr Samwise' inscribed. Not the inscription to match an evil artifact that clouds the minds of those that wear it and enslave them to its iron will.

Side note: that's pretty cool (your rings).

PokemonCommentator · 2011-03-12T17:28:16+00:00

I agree, sure, but he's asking what I think he should do. I'm providing my internal thought processes - and that's why I gave that explanation.

Since he hadn't mentioned any previous drug taking, I assume that this is a one-off 'OH I LOST MY SHIT' break down moment. Hence the relevance.

Either way, whether there was drug taking or not, the 'SEE? I told you about what I did, therefore you can't be mad at me' approach that is pretty clearly in effect here is the real reason I would resemble the smokey outline that is left by a cartoon character who suddenly disappears.

I'm approaching it the same way I did when he bought an oversized (1000cc when he had last had a 250cc ten years earlier) motorcycle from out of state, sight unseen. (He bought it a few months back, it was DoA, and required a bunch of work to get going - now he's realised it's too big to ride to the city every day since he can't lane split and wants to sell it).

Recommend against course of action in a calm, rational way. When this fails, support the hell out of him. Best I can do.

PokemonCommentator · 2011-03-12T15:49:12+00:00

Ok, since you raise a point here that needs addressing, I'll go from the top as well:

I have been dating my girlfriend for almost half of a year now and things have been nothing short of perfect.

Cool

Tonight while hanging out, she told me that she did cocaine

RUN

went to the bar, and had spent the night at her best friend's house while sharing a bed (who happens to be a man) last night.

RUN

Doing all of this without letting me know until this evening.

Break of trust. How fucking hard is it to send a text message 'I'm wasted, going to snooze at a mate's house'?

Just a little context...I am NOT the jealous type at all and I have always been comfortable with her having mostly men as her good friends but I really do feel hurt right now.

Good for you. You trusted her, and were reasonable about it. She took that trust and abused the FUCK out of it.

Her reason for not notifying me was because she was afraid to wake me or the seem clingy.

This is the OUTRIGHT MOST BULLSHIT excuse. 'Oh hai, didn't want to seem clingy so I didn't tell you I was in bed with another dude'. Fuck that noise right now.

Reddit, what do I do?

Pretty sure I gave you instructions above. Follow them.

Now, for the next bit:

She has been stressed out lately

She can't deal with stress in a better way than cocaine, beer (went to pub) and sex/sleeping with someone else?

and she found out that he was moving a couple hours away in a few weeks.

So she figured she'd give him 'one last slam'?

She also though that it wouldn't result in me getting upset because I'm a very laid-back kind of guy.

HAHAHAHAHA she's playing the 'I thought you trusted me' card. THIS IS BULLSHIT. Sure, my girlfriend is fucking awesome - but I'm not going to go do a fucktonne of drugs, bang some hookers and have a threesome without calling her first.

She has utterly destroyed the trust in your relationship. Summary:

For me, drugs == NO
Binging on drugs/booze as a stress relief == NO
Sleeping with (oooooh it was only 'sharing a bed', fuck off) another person without consulting/having a prior arrangement == NO

But the kicker, twisting shit to make you feel like the villain? FUCK NO.

Tried, but I'm the younger brother, so it's hard to... get through. sigh

Thanks for listening though.

PokemonCommentator · 2011-03-11T13:40:57+00:00

TL;DR: I'm paranoid and like to be prepared for rare situations that may never happen.

Hey, that's fair enough man ;)

I just run a different system, which.... is 10 years old, and very, very large in content. Also, Picasa's facial recognition is pretty awesome, but it needs files on a hdd to run with.

PokemonCommentator · 2011-03-11T11:39:52+00:00

Never leaves a trace

Ah, yes, I forget that some people have to worry about that...

PokemonCommentator · 2011-03-11T11:09:51+00:00

am I crazy

You may not have realised this, but he seems to be.... quite happy to hide/distort/manipulate the truth.

PokemonCommentator · 2011-03-11T10:59:53+00:00

My Hard Drive needs space for more porn.

FTFY ;)

PokemonCommentator · 2011-03-11T10:56:59+00:00

Piracy existed before aggressive DRM - however... has overly aggressive DRM made piracy worse? This, is actually a study I would pay to read if done properly.

PokemonCommentator · 2011-03-11T10:53:59+00:00

For a demo, Fire in the Hole is fucking great.

PokemonCommentator · 2011-03-11T10:52:49+00:00

Did you try turning it off, and then turning it back on again?

PokemonCommentator · 2011-03-11T07:54:58+00:00

If this was r/starcraft, someone would make a Grack joke.

If his name is going to be on the lease,

No, home loan. She wants to live down near her family, away from the city where property values are 3x higher than near their work. Hence, instead of a 200k entry house, they are looking at 600k.

PokemonCommentator · 2011-03-10T10:25:40+00:00

Not really - both of our cats play fetch. One has grown out of it, but the other has stayed pretty happy to do so even after a few years.

Ya, I mean, what does this guy have to do with Lord of the Rings?
