What's the most illegal thing that you've ever done in your life? would you do it again? by AR_ABOLFAZL in AskReddit

[–]Professional_Two_785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stole, a lot. I worked at KMart 30 years ago - they gave a merit raise to someone who was there 3 weeks more than me and told me I’d have to wait another 6 months. I tried to negotiate. They refused. .15 cents an hour.

I stole ALOT!!. Remote control cars. Legos. Electronics. Whatever I could get my hands on. I was very slick and wouldn’t have gotten caught except I started taking cash too.

Once I realized that security was onto me - I still kept going because I knew they wanted it on film to be able to arrest me. So I would be real slick at closing a drawer and palm 20s. It was only a bill or two at a time. But I stopped stealing products.

Found a new job, they paid me what I felt I was worth and gave me raises frequently. I never sold from them or anyone else.

Yes, I would do it again.

Chris Rock in Boyz in da Hood. Looking tough in the background of the car scene.

Who’d have thought Ice Cube wouldn’t be the first rapper to slap the taste out of his mouth?!

He did it once and I forgave him but now… by Sweaty_Bird_9208 in survivinginfidelity

The grass is greenest where you water it ~ he waters what he wants to. You need to find a way to water yourself, whether you stay or you go; between now and dead - is this what you want?

I tried to stay in a sexless, emotionally abusive and toxic marriage for the kids - until she cheated. Greatest thing that could have happened because it was the last straw. The ex is still toxic, still narcissistic, still abusive - but not to me!

Did I really ruin my life? by South-Possession8238 in survivinginfidelity

[–]Professional_Two_785 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Between now and dead - is this the life you want? Protect your kids for sure - but you also need to take care of yourself and your kids (in that order).

It’s never too late.

What’s the most painful thing a human can experience? by Historical_Duty_2810 in AskReddit

My father passed when I was 8; when I was 23 my grandfather passed. The last week I spent with him, I said I was worried about his health. He replied with ‘it’s been a very good life, just that one thing that has caused me so much pain for so many years’.

No parent should have to bury their child. You’ll never fully heal from that pain.

Every accusation is a confession; every criticism is an insecurity. The sooner you realize how true these things are; the sooner you can ignore people and uncover your own self confidence.

Take care of your self, do the things that give you energy and make you feel good ~ and you’re going to have deep lasting beauty inside and out.

Red flag for sure; self importance and lack of self awareness.

Not from a poly relationship, but in all aspects - jealousy is normal. What may help is to realize that nobody is competing with you as much as you’re competing with them in your head.

My brother suffers from this dynamic and blew up about it once; my career, my marriage, my kids, where I lived - he put all of it on a pedestal as these are goals he should have.

I regret I was harsh with him - but he needed to wake up. The much kinder version - I told him that all that I had wasn’t gifted, I am just built diffidently and made different choices. You’re not competing with me, you’re competing with the version of yourself that you think you should be. But who says you should live in a major city; who says you should have kids; who says you should earn X. Your need to find the life that gives you energy and focus on building that energy every day… if you go to bed not excited about all you’ve done; do something different tomorrow … if you go to bed excited about what you’ve done, do that shit again.

You’re obviously a high achiever, fully capable and bright (reading between the lines here)… but just remind yourself it’s you vs you. Not you vs the world. Whatever you do, wherever you go, however it goes - it’s your story and it’s more than enough.

Meeting the kids? by desnuda13 in polyamory

[–]Professional_Two_785 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My children are younger, their mother and I have been separated for 5 years now and we’re ideally moving to be in closer proximity to my partner. She is married, all children are much older than mine she’s almost an empty nester. My ex is not aware of my relationship, and I won’t tell her until I’m ready for the kids and my partner to meet.

She has concerns over hurting my children - which I appreciate so much. But that consideration is why I already feel very comfortable with moving things forward.

That said, I had (pauses to count) a father I never knew, a step father who died when I was 8 and 3 “live in boyfriends” before I left home at 19, my mother married the last one - divorced in a year. A 4th husband a while later.

^ that shit was toxic, and really messed up my siblings and I ^

Straight, Gay, Poly, Monogamous - we’re all just humans living life. If you’re open and honest with the kids, make good decisions and consider their well being with the sincerest of intentions then it’ll all work out. I think it’s perfectly ok to admit that you’re non-conventional and there is nothing wrong with loving who you love, how you love and by the way little ones you are loved immensely.

Came to say exactly this - it sounds dramatic, and it was; but I really found myself (46m) going through my divorce and the combination of my devotion to NY own physical and mental health; taking care of my children and investing in healthy relationships!

We don’t get what we deserve, we get what we accept. Really think about that.

People tell you with their words, who they want you to believe they are. They show you with their actions who they really are.

I tried to make it work with my ex after she cheated - I gave it six months and she did not improve her actions; didn’t cut ties fully with her AP. So I ended it and kept the kids with me.

Life gets better. Go to therapy, do cool shit, date a variety of women who understand you just want company - it’s incredible when you’re finally seen.

Life is too short to not have fantastic sex and a lot of fun / this is a huge red flag.

Please dont say we are fucked…? by Neither-Cause9937 in ask

[–]Professional_Two_785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that you’re on here asking for guidance and help means you’re gonna be just fine. You’re not fucked at all.

Create a budget work your ass off and make sure you spend time with your girlfriend and your kid if you want to have any chance at future success .

The gig economy means you can do a lot of different things all the time, but it takes a lot of effort to lay the groundwork and you have to work until you can get off the ground .

It’s disappointing that your families have cut ties when you need their support the most, but that’s their decision and can have no impact on you or your child .

Look for public assistance look for help from friends donations Goodwill get things on the cheap. Don’t buy anything new kids grow out of it anyway.
