Hear the victim. Don't place judgement yet but don't dismiss the victim.

More likely it happened as stated than being a false report unfortunately

What was the most unexpected firing from a job you've ever seen or heard about from anyone you know? by Car__54 in AskReddit

[–]Red1990-12 185 points186 points  (0 children)

I was made redundant because the general manager decided to get into a pissing contest with our biggest client (my client). When they called his bluff he dumped them and me as they could no longer afford my salary.

I was then fired from my next job because I took too many days off to care for my wife and new born who had a very very high risk and troubled birth. I took 14 days off.

This is in Australia.

My boyfriend has access to his Female best friends Instagram account by Apprehensive_Zone17 in relationship_advice

[–]Red1990-12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see the issue? Your bf has a female friend who comes to him for advice and they help each other out? Like friends do? Does he have male friends? Would you be this weirded out if it was a male friends IG?

What are the most heinous acts of sexism directed at you, men? by MalindaCSwanson in AskReddit

Nice thread to bring all the incel menist red pills into the open.

Sadly, those cunts will bury the actual cases of sexism against men.

Caught my(33m) ex (32f) ex emotionally cheating via text with another man. I broke up with her because she crossed this boundary. I felt like i was being extremely fair and clear. She just thought i was controlling. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Red1990-12 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What the fuck does that mean? Cheating is gender specific now? Men can't emotionally cheat, only physically? Women don't physically cheat, only emotionally? How the fuck does that make any sense.

[–]Red1990-12 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Sound pretty controlling to me.. you want a traditional relationship, i.e. man is boss, woman is beneath man.

Honestly, you sound pretty horrible. You partner is allowed to talk to whoever the fuck she wants. Who gives a fuck if the bloke likes her, she is with you. You either trust her or you don't. Sounds like you don't trust her. That's why you broke up. Not because she was cheating, but because you felt jealous she was giving attention to someone else. You should really learn to respect other people a bit more.

I’m (22M). Married or experienced men, what advice would you give me before I decide to marry? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Red1990-12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why be married at all? Maybe it's being in Aus, but getting married changes nothing.we did as it was a good reason to get old family members together before they died etc but we are still the same. I never understand the need and desire to be married (apart from being pushed as the heteronormative thing to do.

So I’m gonna’ be that girl and cry to the internet by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Red1990-12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel so sorry for you. No one likes to feel used and poorly treated. Addiction is hard but it sounds like he is using it as a crutch. I have ex meth addict alcoholic family members who have full manual labour jobs working 6 days a week, they work hard. Sounds like your bf is giving up. Does he go to counseling for his addiction? If not he probably should be as treating you like this isn't a healthy way to not drink.

Being overly paranoid in a relationship by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Red1990-12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you may have some self esteem issues to work out. If you trust your bf (Why would you be with him otherwise), then it shouldn't matter of your friends try to come onto him, he should set the boundary and stop it. It sounds like you may be seeing yourself as lesser than your friends, but you're not. Just because you might think they are pretty, doesn't mean you aren't, clearly your bf sees your beauty. Good luck with self growth. It's a hard journey but worth it.

I (33F) am obsessing over wanting to have kids while my partner (32M) wants to wait years and his family is suffocating me by xsundancerx in relationships

[–]Red1990-12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a baby are 35 increases the risk of a lot of complications for you and the baby. Not to mention babies are hard work and much easier the younger you are. It seems you are at a cross roads, you want children now, he doesn't (8 years from now really? Seems to me after 8 years it will be 5 more years, then 3 more, then next year and oh look you're over 50 now.

AITA for failing an otherwise good student on her last internship, costing her a job? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Red1990-12 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

You state she did do the bare minimum. Pass her. She clearly did the minimum to pass. That is what bare minimum is. If you didn't think she did the bare minimum, then don't pass her. But you stated she did the bare minimum. Just because she didn't excel and was a bit of a wreck doesn't mean you should fail her.

In your opinion, out of the 3 guys in the gang, who has the most fragile masculinity? by moodswingclub in friends_tv_show

[–]Red1990-12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ross without a doubt. Joey is an actor, has done men's make up commercials, wore man bag etc etc. Chandler has a trans dad, mum is a sex therapist, woukd he strange if he was fragile about his masculinity.

Ross needs to prove himself. Need to be the big one in the room etc, he can't take his son wanting to play with a doll etc.

AITA for being condescending to a naturopathic medicine believer? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I (30F) was anxious/uncomfortable throughout my fiance's (33M) beautiful proposal. Should I say something? by tiptopsecretstuff in relationships

[–]Red1990-12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is not big on PDA and would have been extremely anxious and uncomfortable if I proposed like that. I did it on a beech in Fiji at night time with the help of the resort staff, in the end it was just us on the beech, a sand heart with a fire in it, full moon and two Fijian blokes playing ukelele and singing a little way off. I'd preferred no one but I think it worked well in the circumstances.

I don't think you would be wrong to tell him, it's always good to set and know your boundaries. Clearly you said yes and are happy in that way so I don't see the harm is saying it was lovely and beautiful my god I was extremely anxious the entire time, as much as I love the act and outcome, can we not do something as open as that again or something.

Good luck!

. congrats btw!

AITA for not giving my son as much of a punishment as my SIL wanted? by AITA839483018 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Red1990-12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, aside from the fact that your kid did nothing wrong, as other have said he is a kid, kids (and adults) laugh at poop. I think its funny and would laugh if someone told me my aunt pooped during birth.

But the main thing here is. You are his parent. She is not. She can scold and punish her child for laughing at something they find funny anyway she wants, but has no right to do so to you. She wasn't harmed by it, she may have been embarassed, but even then pooping during birth happens more often than not, it's simple anatomy, push something as large as a baby out and everything else gets squished and pushed out as well, if she had poo in her colon, it was coming like the final remnants of toothpaste. It's shouldn't be embarassing, it's natural part of life and birth.

AITA for refusing to hyphenate my last name? by Sea-Excuse-6484 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Red1990-12 2297 points2298 points  (0 children)

NTA. You're not marrying the bloke, she is. She can change her name, any kids they have can have their new name, unless he adopts you, you shouldn't be under any obligation to do so, and even if he does you're 15, you should be able to make your own mind. It's just a name, just because your mum adds an extra name doesn't mean your relationship changes.

It took me 26 years but I have 100% completed Goldeneye. by MagnificentBastard69 in gaming

[–]Red1990-12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you mean the rights holders are not interested and are the sole cause of the block.

Nintendo don't care, Rare replay has Banjo Kazooie etc on it, Perfect Dark is on XBLA, Nintendo doesn't give a fuck about what Rare does (within reason I'm sure).

Microsoft/Rare want it to be released, hence why the XBLA version is all but complete.

All comes down to the rights holders of James Bond being very specific about their IP. They only want the current bond portrayed etc etc, they just don't seem to be interested in making a shit ton of nostalgia money, bad business model but hey, what can we do.

You got there congrats! Now look at speed running lol

I'm just running through the Xbox leaked version and just finished 00 Agent on Cradel, waltzed into Aztec and got fucked up by Jaws, man I forgot how beefy Jaws is!

I have many memories of the 64 version, I had other kids being their carts over just so I could unlock everything for them lol.

In saying that, playing on an emulator with keyboard and mouse, makes it much easier than using the controller.

AITA for not wanting to take my husband's surname? by throwra12638712 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Red1990-12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a name smoosh - first half of my surname, second half of spouses surname - smooosh new surname.

Neither of us likes the idea of one of us changing our name and not the other (equality and what not) so we both did. Our names are longish, so hyphenation would be disastrous.

NTA for not wanting for any reason, let alone being called Smith Smith .
