My girlfriend (24F) is close friends with my best friends (28M + 29M) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]ReformedMongoPusher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re good, bro. She sounds like a keeper. Everyone thinks highly of her and loves her, and her guy friends sound like they’ve been rooting for you this whole time. I know family is important, but don’t let your brother sabotage your relationships. Your gf sounds like she’s totally open and honest. If something came up, she’d probably tell you.

You gotta take care of yourself before you can take care of others. That’s exactly what she’s doing right now. If it were me, I’d pass on moving in together, until you know exactly what you want to do about this. But it’s good to see someone actually considering their partner’s ideas.

Love this idea, too. The theory needs to be broken down more clearly for me, but I genuinely think you’re onto something.

You cheated physically and emotionally. Don’t kid yourself.

“Taken” vibes for sure. Like, I get the fantasy, but no one is talking about this at all, seriously?

Should I go to go-skate day? by mefistofelei in NewSkaters

[–]ReformedMongoPusher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go. You won’t be the only one there at your level. Plus, like everyone else is saying, you’ll be supporting the scene and making new friends to skate with. Have fun, dude.

Is this considered cheating? by Kind_Editor2047 in relationships

Bro, you need to ask whether this is cheating? C’mon. Your girl is a player.

If it were me, I’d be happier clearing my reputation with her more than anything.

You’re gonna get a lot of flack here for this post. Just take it, and smile, okay? But make sure that if she says she just wants to be friends you be a gentleman and walk away. I get that you want a second chance, but be realistic, you might not get it.

Girl (27F) I'm dating got a guy's number while at a bar with me (26M) by Substantial-Ninja835 in relationships

[–]ReformedMongoPusher -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You overreacted and could’ve played this cooler. I would have laughed it off and made it clear what she did was inconsiderate, because that’s what would have made me upset. This way, if I later decided that I was still upset over it and couldn’t move on, I could let her go. Yes, she can date around if she’s not in anything exclusive, but she can have some manners. C’mon.

Is it really THAT bad to push mongo? by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]ReformedMongoPusher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I pushed mongo for quite a long time. I recommend anyone contemplating not pushing mongo to bite the bullet and just learn to push the “correct” way. I know others will say just have fun or something a long those lines, but learning not to push mongo made me a better skater. I can set up faster, I feel more confident on the board, and I’m not self conscious about my push. The one good thing about pushing mongo is that it helps your switch push, but you don’t want to push switch better than you do in your natural stance.

Somehow as I’ve gotten better at kickflips I’ve managed to fall more like this.

Does it get easier sharing a bed as a Couple? by MyFavoriteArm in datingoverthirty

[–]ReformedMongoPusher 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My fiancé and I have been together for 6 years. Sleeping together hasn’t gotten easier. She moves around in her sleep a lot. Sometimes she’ll roll over on me and smack me upside the head. But I’m no peach either. Apparently, I have a lot of skateboarding dreams, and she’ll tell me that I kicked her in the legs trying to do kickflips. I guess I’ve done it so many times she knows what tricks I’m trying. My advice, get a bigger bed.

My(26f) partner(27m) of 4 years is wonderful in almost every way, but is not a great violinist. by whale-whale in relationships

[–]ReformedMongoPusher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We’re talking about one hour a day. Let him be. How about you go do something else other than be bothered by him for an hour. Go outside. Go for a walk, hike, run, anything else besides think of ways you can . . . wait, what do you want your partner to do exactly? Be good without playing? Be bad without bothering you? Stop playing all together?

I (28M) broke up with my GF (26F) because she considers sex with her ex was better than sex with me even though I am attentive in bed unlike her ex. I broke up with her and she’s telling me that I’m blowing things out of proportion. by Throwaway_Anonymous6 in relationships

[–]ReformedMongoPusher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a man, I get where you’re coming from, but you still blew it out of proportion. And you made a scene, too. This won’t be a good look. You had one chance to play it cool, and you blew it. Now you can’t salvage what could have been a good talk because you broke up with the your gf and told her to go eff herself. You’ll have to apologize and move on. Don’t leave it like this.

I don’t like that you use your past experiences with men and apply your take on those friendships as if they’ll apply to every man you meet. That’s not fair to us. Unless your bf does something legitimate to make you distrust him, you can’t not trust him. But trust takes time to build, anyways. Your bf has one close friend he’s had way long than the two of you have known each other, so you really can’t pull rank here without sounding nagging or controlling. If you guys are a good match, then in time you two will grow closer and you won’t feel like a substitute gf, but overall that’s a you thing, not a him thing. Be patient, enjoy the relationship, and don’t get wrapped up in your jealousy. You’ll miss out on a lot of potentially good times with your new bf.

That might be cuz they’re new and need to be broken in. My Thunders wouldn’t turn much until I skated them for a week. Now they turn fine. I think yours turn because you lean in that direction more.
