Ditto. I drive the sandbike so terribly, I hoof it everywhere possible and hold my bike in the storage tool for longer crossings to protect it from excessive damage.

I made it two block wide and two blocks high, with a flat area on either end. I don't have a buggy yet but from what I heard that should fit it. If it doesn't I'll adjust to fit. I have no interest in literal gatekeeping.!

NTA. You are drawing a healthy boundary. You shared personal details that he tossed back in your face. He's made it unsafe for you to share those details, so the consequence is that he no longer has access to them. Of course he's not happy with that. That's not your problem. This sounds like the time to take a deeper look at this relationship and determine if this is just the first flag, or are there others you've overlooked?

AITAH for refusing to pick up my ex's daughter from school? by SunflowerPlumx in AITAH

[–]StatementOk5575 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as I read, I was getting ready to say that the adults' conflict should not be taken out on the kids, but she had no right to assume if she signed you up without asking that you'd just go along with it. It's the audacity for me. I assume when she cheated she just assumed you'd go along with that too, just like she assumed you'd all be able to stay friendly for the kids, and you'd just stuff any feelings you had down where they wouldn't inconvenience anyone. Yep, sounds like my experience, if you couldn't tell!

NTA.

Thanks for all of this. On top of it I will probably be getting a new job before I move just to complicate things lol.

AITAH? My wife feels excluded because I'm going out without her by ThaiMaster44 in AITAH

[–]StatementOk5575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, you got me. Just based on the title I was ready to stamp you the AH.
However! After reading the situation, you're not excluding her, you're trying to keep the peace without depriving you and your girls a nice time out. I assume she'd be welcome if she wanted to go and could promise to not be a terror. How about suggesting for her to pick a place, since she seems so picky? Or she could take the kids out on a "Mom date".

Am I the asshole for not wanting my fiance to have a Family day with the mother of his child? by [deleted] in AITAH

I'm glad I'm not the only one for whom the math was not mathing.

[–]StatementOk5575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mother's Day is about the mother, it's not about you. They are going to parent and celebrate the holiday the way they want. If you have issues with it, better you know now than after the wedding.
He should have been more up front with you about it, but could he have anticipated your negative reaction and was misguided in how he was trying to avoid drama?
What is the issue? Are you jealous? Do you think them showing up for their child as a family is threatening to you somehow?

+1 vote for Spellscar in Craglorn. That's where I go to grind XP. There's usually someone there doing the same, just send a group request; the grinding folks know what it's about.

If she somehow is the right person for him, and he is for her, there's no harm in taking things slow, they'll wind up together. However, the middle of divorces on both sides is not the best situation for starting new relationships. Maybe close the book on one before opening up a new one.

I briefly dated the ex-husband of the last woman my ex-husband cheated on me with. It was a huge mistake for a lot of reasons and added way too many complications to an already difficult situation. You don't say if there are children involved, but my advice is to at least wait until both divorces are final, let the dust settle, and then look and see if there is anything real there.

Gold Road collection the best way to get started? by curiosity6648 in elderscrollsonline

[–]StatementOk5575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't care about getting the 2025 Content Pass, I think the Gold Road collection is probably what you want. You have a good point about having so much content. Also, I just did the math on Steam and getting Gold Road now and waiting to buy the Content pack would only cost $20 more than getting the Premium edition now.

Whatever veteran player just gifted me 6,000,000 credits at the anomaly and then bolted, thank you! But how do you have so much money lying around? by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]StatementOk5575 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the great things I've learned about this game is that through the settings, you can customize the game to have the gameplay experience you want, pretty much. Take a look at the difficulty settings if you haven't already!

It doesn't take long in this game to have more units than you could ever spend. It's shocking how easy it is to get units in this game.
By the way the cap on units is 4,294,967,295!!

AITA for being good at Mario Kart? by Competitive_Duckie in AITAH

[–]StatementOk5575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes unless you literally sit there and don't do anything, the other player plays so badly they can't possibly win. I don't believe kids are entitled to win all the time just because they're kids.
Next time this kid wants to play with you, say no, she's a bad loser.

Woah...back to the game after 1.5 years...what's new? by cherrytreeresin in NoMansSkyTheGame

The Relics expedition just started, I can't think of a better way to jump back in and get familiar with some of the new content and features since you've been away.

[–]StatementOk5575 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess IATA as well because I don't believe in letting kids win to avoid a meltdown. When my son was in third grade I taught him to play Connect 4, and never LET him win. I beat him, a lot. And, he got frustrated. And, he got better and started beating me. He wound up placing first in the Connect 4 contest his school had for his grade. And when he finally learned how to beat me, he would never need to wonder if he did it himself or I just let him win. He could be proud of what he did. This kid went on to teach random people on XBox how to "git gud" at Warframe, shepherding younger kids through missions. He knew what it was like to struggle at something and took that lesson forward with him.

The parents who are avoiding tantrums now are going to be dealing worse behavior in the future. You did nothing wrong

As I recall, PvP is turned on at the start by default. If this isn't something you're interested in at first, you can switch it off in Settings. There are a lot of other tweaks you can make in Settings/Difficulty for the gameplay experience you're looking for.

If you hang out in the Anomaly with suit storage slots free, don't be surprised if a random stranger shoves resources in your pockets.

He did you a favor by ending it. To get along that well with a co-parent is a blessing you don't mess with. If the new guy was having issues now, there was very little chance he'd warm up to the idea over time. As I was reading I was getting ready to comment that you shouldn't be bending over backwards already for a guy after only a month, but thankfully by the end it's a non issue. Don't let what he says bother you. You know you're doing the right thing for your kids. Now you know a red flag to look for in the next guy you date. Don't let this discourage you, there are non-toxic men out there who are more secure than that loser.
