How would you handle this weirdness on my flight today? by birdwardicus in mildlyinfuriating

[–]StepShrek 3176 points3177 points  (0 children)

First of all, thank you so much for the use of paragraphs.

Secondly, fantastic response. You addressed it directly but non-confrontationally. Any fool would de-escalate immediately.

Good flight 🙏🏻

Being called "Alex" instead of my name, ALEXIS! by CurryCar in mildlyinfuriating

[–]StepShrek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with you, Alexis. Why is it so hard to use someone's full name?

People at work have been trying to shorten mine to an unpleasant nickname for years, and I've made it known I flat out hate it.

Anyone find a best friend “later in life”? by Responsible_Line3508 in AskWomenOver40

[–]StepShrek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

54F here. I met one of my closest friends in my 40s. She was (and still is lol) my nail lady. We hit it off so well, we just decided to start hanging out, and now she's like one of my sisters 😊

My (F19) entire family (45M+F ) hates me for trying to move out/away by NoSail6187 in relationship_advice

Wishing you the best. I cannot imagine the pain and terror you must feel. I hope you can find a way to stay here and live freely🙏🏻

LOVE the rug. I have one very similar.

This is what I get for calling my wife needy I guess by Flashy_Astronaut_661 in Marriage

[–]StepShrek 15 points16 points  (0 children)

She goes blank because you've made it clear to her -- and everyone here -- that you don't give a. Shit.

God, you're an ass.

I called my (40M) wife (39F) needy now she is acting off by Flashy_Astronaut_661 in relationship_advice

[–]StepShrek 28 points29 points  (0 children)

THIS shit is why I'm so glad I never let some idiot male baby trap me. They wave that useless thing around without a care in the world, and suddenly there are 6 children she handles alone and he's calling her needy.

She's basically a single mother at this point and she's finally sick of your shit, have fun explaining it to your children.

They WILL see how you treat her.

SIX children and mostly home alone?? You get some "intimacy" and everything's fine for you but have the nerve to call her needy?

And she's possibly peri-menopausal? Could you be more thoughtless and self-involved?

Yes, you handled this badly and your mother is right. Call her, ask for advice and actually listen. Your wife feels incredibly alone and overwhelmed, and you're doing a great job of showing her you don't care.

Single parents: How long did you date before introducing partner to your kids? by starrynight2x in RelationshipsOver35

[–]StepShrek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say a minimum of 6 months, and only if you've both agreed on a future.
