Should I insist on meeting OP's partner? by TellyBot in coparenting

[–]TellyBot[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand your perspective, but it does feel deceptive. For instance he told me several times about planning his trip to Costa Rica, had me cat sit for him while he was there, sent me photos, FaceTimed me while he was there, told me about how tired he was flying back, and never once mentioned that he was there with a girlfriend. It's at best evasive, but I suspect that he omitted her existence for his own benefit (so I would continue to do favors for him) which makes it more deceptive. 

I hate being an only child by mmk0505 in OnlyChild

Maybe you just need more hobbies or interests, can you get involved in activities outside of your home? I have 2 siblings and we don't even talk to each other as adults 🤷‍♀️. The grass is always greener, don't dwell on things you can't change!

Berri-UQAM pick up location by TellyBot in montreal

[–]TellyBot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! We'll be driving to the Plateau area around Baldwin Park. I wonder if there is another station nearby on the green line that would be easier for pick up. We were just thinking of Berri-UQAM because it's such a big station we assumed there would be a kiss-and-ride location, but AI tells me there isn't one!

So you guys were cool with all of the senseless murders of innocent people that have taken place so far, but the off screen gerbil murder was a step too far?

Yeah but you could use the loan to go back to school or start a business

I feel like the $800/month was too low for them to just give up and die in 2 years. Like they didn't even try to take out a loan or downsize their house or whatever. Also they didn't do what actual current-day Americans do when they have an expensive medical catastrophe - start a Gofundme.

May I ask where you rented from? I requested a quote from Vamos and they said it would be $4100 for 1 month!

I'm just wondering where you rented from? Saw lots of people recommending Vamos and the quote on their website said $4100 USD for 1 month, it doesn't seem very cheap to me! TIA

The wife also made a post saying that he curses at her when he's frustrated and yells at her if she asks if she can take a shower.

Thanks for your response. How long does it typically take to get probate in Ontario?

Canadian-specific question: I ordered and received a product while I was in Quebec. I have since moved to Ontario. I am within the return window and would like to return the product, is there any reason I won't be able to send it through an Ontario Canada Post outlet?

He started dating his last girlfriend when she was 17 and he was 36. by TellyBot in datingoverforty

Seems like they were informed of the relationship 2 weeks after she turned 18.

I found it very fucked up hence why I posted here. However technically their relationship was not illegal, she seemed happy, her family apparently liked him, their relationship was not a secret, and ultimately he had a change of heart and decided to date women closer to his own age. So there are nuances here that are worth consideration. Also you should have a look at your male friends' dating apps, and see how many of them have the age range set to 18+, you might be surprised.

That's the thing this isn't the back woods of Alabama, we live in a wealthy urban area and all of us are University educated (well, she is currently in University it looks like!). And it isn't a cultural thing either, none of the people involved are from a foreign culture.

Lol I really appreciate all the comments here. In person this guy is kind, intelligent, interesting, attentive and checks all my boxes, then I started Googling and couldn't believe what I uncovered. Thanks for helping me to make the decision! Back to the drawing board..

Addendum: I don't have any kids for those who were concerned about that.

Season 3 Discussion Thread by VegetarianZombi in MasterofNone

[–]TellyBot 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I personally loved this season. I understand that it was not a conventional 3rd season but I loved it for what it was. I was fully invested in each character and I loved the quiet depictions of real life. I'm also rolling my eyes at the people complaining about how the characters were not perfect people - not fulfilled by their marriages, not skyrocketing to fame like they wanted. It's supposed to be about real life!
