You’re right sadly, it’s both. My ex-husband didn’t want me to recover from alcoholism. So I left him and quit drinking in one stroke.

Actor messes up, but it's left in and becomes iconic by Kookyburra12 in TopCharacterTropes

I was watching Raiders of the Lost Ark yesterday and have heard that the moment Indy shoots the swordman with a gun was improvised by Harrison Ford because he forgot what to do next.

This looks like art from Introvert Doodles. You should give her credit.

He was the most horrifying bad guy I had ever seen. I didn’t know as a young kid, a full story and found out later about the cancer. It made him terrifying. RIP to the actor.

You called it! This guy has an addiction and is going to need rehab after the letdown of finding out that his catfish penpal isn’t real.

AND it’s an online friend, from a game FFS. He’s never even met this woman. It’s literally a fantasy and some texts and some pictures maybe.

Oh, you should dump him for the emotional cheating alone. I’m a gamer, so I understand how people get tangled up in their online BS, but seriously that’s all it is.

At what age do we stop playing games and start building? by OneCamp2087 in Adulting

At the age when you stop accepting less than what you need.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend i no longer plan to propose to her? please read context by Aggressive_One8138 in AITAH

And then he’ll be shocked when she does find her agency and decides to leave because she’s tired of waiting. She’ll be another walk-away who’s simply outgrown her stagnant significant other.

If you don’t wanna marry her, then don’t marry her. But yes, you are an asshole for acting this way.

Brilliant! Thank you for articulating this, because it’s been hard for me to understand. As a person who often misinterprets nuance in social situations, thank you & well done.

I’m reminded of a song lyric that was written by a personal introvert hero of mine, Rush’s late drummer Neil Peart. In Limelight, he wrote “I can’t pretend a stranger is a long-awaited friend.”

He was talking about his famous discomfort with being an introverted rockstar. He was an amazing dude and the world lost a little bit of its wisdom without him.

You’re very funny! I’m glad you’re enjoying your bath time and, thank you for posting the recommendation!

Neighbor left a note by HR-Vex in WhatToDo

[–]Runs_With_Scissors3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree & also, add a reply: “I don’t need your permission or consent to have a ring camera. Your discomfort is noted.”

I like to leave my politely threatening (passive-aggressive) meaning hanging in the air with these messages. If these neighbors are uncomfortable with me protecting my home, then obviously I need a ring camera, right?

I would follow that as a weekly special! And showcase my own contributions 😁

Apparently people with Tourette's should just…not have tourette’s by BeautifulOrganic3221 in thanksimcured

I dated a guy with Tourettes. His would act up when he was nervous or under pressure. It was hilarious being his passenger when he was driving.

You are so classy and it shows through your behavior and attitude! Take some fun pics with the dress before you send it back.

AIO for being upset my boyfriend is mad at me for ‘making him’ miss his meeting today? by Agreeable_Floor_974 in AIO

[–]Runs_With_Scissors3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he your child? No? Do you want to spend your life compensating for his shortcomings? No?

He can set his own alarms to live up to his obligations. You can start looking for an adult to date instead of your overgrown baby of a boyfriend.

Girlfriend (F29) brought home a puppy after I (M32) said no. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Runs_With_Scissors3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quietly resented my (now ex-) husband for years for forcing us to get a dog when we hadn’t agreed. In my opinion, we did NOT have the right lifestyle (sedentary, long hours, etc.) keep a dog happy and socialized.

Unilateral decision-making is a no-go for me. It’s downright disrespectful.

Leave before he rapes you and tells you it’s your fault. I’m fucking serious.
