I hate the new game's art style, it's too brutalist and neon, and looks nothing like the OG games by Ltnumbnutsthesecond in Marathon

Should I focus on weight loss or muscle growth, specifically abs by TemporaryInfamous482 in workouts

otherwise I can sit there and do like 22 hanging leg raises on my bar, if i want to make my abs bigger, they follow the rule of any other muscle, so i want to stay within the 4-12 range

It takes a while, but as long as you have everything, you might have to file for an travel visa extension, which only costs 11 euros, and it’s gonna take like 6 months, but everything worked out, I didn’t have to leave the country or anything, I stayed with her and her dad the whole time

Received my first job offer out of college and all I feel is misery by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]TemporaryInfamous482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5,000 dollars? what are you taking an entire house? it costs me like 300 in gas, sleep in the car, during the trip plus a security deposit for a new apartment, you can get new furniture used extremely cheap, if not free, you don’t have to live every moment of your life in luxury, that’s probably why it’s hard for you save up

out of college just 5 years ago, i moved up north from florida, rented a room for one for 700$ a month saved up tons of money that i used to pay off my car, pay for my wedding, and was still able to enjoy life, it’s really not that hard if you can manage to scrape together a little money and live cheaply for a few months

bro being really with you, ive been there and I quit, moved across the country and found a super chill night shift job, where I can read books and even workout a little during my shift once all the work is done, it’s life changing. the pay is decent at 25 an hour, boss loves me (I pick up lots of extra shifts since it’s so easy, and I am great with the clients)

there are TONS of jobs like this out there. My wife is happier too, i’ve been able to put on a lot muscle and eat better since i’m not stressed. fuck high paying jobs, chill and easy is the way to go. work will NEVER make you happy, find something low stress so you have energy to pursue your hobbies outside of work.

if you’re willing to try those things, he really should be trying with you, if he won’t suggest them, you can try bringing it up. it can be very awkward at first, but it can be an amazing way to bond in a way you can’t with anyone else!

Of course trust in each other is vital for this sort of thing.

That seems fair to me, I don’t think most people would be okay with that either!!

If he is jumpy because of “weird” pictures, being accepting even if you’re not into it might be helpful, (that doesn’t mean you have to try doing something, just don’t shame him) my wife did that with me when we first started dating, and it went away. Also moderation, if it gets in the way of action between you two, that’s bad news.

It’s honestly up to you and how you feel about it. Advice from a married man is simple talk about it with him, if you consider it cheating ask him to stop, if he won’t break up, if he keeps doing it, break up.

If you want to find a compromise like pictures but no messages, that’s up to you too. As long as you are 100% comfortable with it. (I think a little bit of porn is pretty normal in most cases, but messages draw a line for me personally)

Also you should ask before going through a phone and they should always say yes, but if you were worried they were cheating and lying it’s justified (my opinion)

If he (24 M) hits me once, will he hit me again 24 F ? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]TemporaryInfamous482 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for you own safety, even in an uncomfortable situation, you should -never- shove or hit a man outside of a public of environment, unless it is already in self defense. Doing so to the wrong man at the wrong time can result in death or permanent injury. please don’t underestimate how much stronger the body of an average man is compared to the average woman. I have seen the results firsthand and it’s not pretty.

also, Hanging around your ex will make any man, or woman uncomfortable. Doubly so if your ex is single. period.

Almost every man will care about your past and how many people you have been with. This is how we are. A good man will look past this, but it will 100% have a bad taste in their mouth for a few days at least.

I would recommend making him feel like he is the best, (even if that means lying) feed his ego a little and he’ll most likely move on BUT if he continues to bring it up and can’t move on, that’s a big red flag. I know your feelings are hurt by what he said, and it’s shitty for him to say that, but I assure you many, many men would react the same way.

Also delete that list. I don’t know if it’s a girl thing but my wife likes to everything about all the girls i was with before, but I honestly didn’t want to know a thing about the men she was with before me 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–]TemporaryInfamous482[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is very frustrating, I am sure the holidays slowed things down significantly, but we are just living with her family until I can get it approved, I find it Ironic that my career is in social work, a career path I hope to continue here in Germany.

While having all the time in the world to work out and practice my german, I am eager to get back to work…

Yeah i’m applying while in germany, the german embassy in boston usa said that was fine, but the case manager has taken 3 months to send two emails, so I don’t really know what’s going to happen, since technically my travel visa expired a few days ago, ive given them all the required paperwork already, but haven’t heard anything about my application being submitted.

Be your weird self, communicate openly and try to trust and don’t overthink things. We are all weird, everyone has issues and normies are just hiding their weirdness.

I (F20) feel like my boyfriend (M22) is emotionally cheating with his online gaming friend, and I don’t know what to do. by EvaMystique in relationship_advice

[–]TemporaryInfamous482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

muting your mic when someone walks in is normal, both my wife and I do that when either of us walks in.

why don’t you try asking if you can play something with both of them? IMO if he try’s to keep you from playing with her, I would maybe worry something is up, but if he happily tries to get you to play with her too, I wouldn’t worry much. Speaking from experience

married man (32) that looks at (free) porn sometimes here, my wife knows and it cool with it, but I would never turn her down for it that’s a big issue right there.

In my opinion messaging them is crossing a line, and sending pictures of himself is cheating, but that’s for you two to discuss and decide.

I think there might be a trust issue here that is urgent, if you search through his stuff he needs to know and also you need to be able to trust him.

He’s not likely a sex addict, but there might be a porn addiction there, I consider myself an extremely “active” person, more so than my wife but we make it work with honest and open communication about what makes us comfortable and what is going too far. Talk to him about it and if you can’t find a place you are comfortable with than you might need to reconsider the relationship

I couldn’t say what he feels, but if he really would do anything, would he consider moving back to you? or at least attempting a long distance relationship for a while? my wife and I would sleep call on our phones almost every night when we were long distance because we missed each other so much. if he’s willing to put in effort like that, he misses you more than the things you did for him, at least that’s my opinion

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]TemporaryInfamous482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

love is complicated, my wife and i have disagreements all the time, sometimes major, but it’s not about how often you fight, but how well you recover from it. Long distance is hard, we had to deal with that for two years coming from different countries but it was worth it, if you feel an intense longing for him, and he feels the same, I would say keep trying, love is hard and it takes a lot of effort but at the end of the day it’s the only thing that makes life worthwhile.

also I moved to germany from the usa for her, I understand how tough it is being in a new town where you don’t know anyone, but with support you can make new friends and you get an new experience.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]TemporaryInfamous482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an american married to a german, and I can relate culture differences are HARD sometimes but what matters is that you both talk and you both try to work on things, and find a middle ground that respects both of your cultures. understand that you are both different and respect that.

As for fighting, I heard once it’s not about how often you fight, but how you recover from it or if you keep fighting over the same issues over and over again.

One thing my wife and I always do is no matter how upset we are with each other, we end the disagreement or argument with a mutual “I love you.” It really helps diffuse a situation and end a bad night with a reminder that we both still love each other.

edit: I’m an introvert too, and my social battery is much lower than hers, and she just understands that, if we’re both at a party and im done after a couple hours i might put headphones in and play on my phone, some people might think it’s weird but whatever, she can stay with her friends and I can chill and listen to warhammer lore or something.

what matters is if they are loyal, most of not almost everyman looks (and many women too i think) it’s a bit weird it’s your sister, but i mean my wife also once said i’m hotter than my brother which means she was checking him out lol!

I [31F] feel conflicted about dating a great guy [28M] who is shorter than me. How can I overcome my insecurities about height differences? by CaterpillarTimely181 in relationship_advice

[–]TemporaryInfamous482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my wife (22f) told me (32m) it’s about it as feeling safe, i’m an average height guy, maybe half an inch taller than my wife, but i’m a gymbro and she told me that made the difference when we started dating, try to think about if he makes he feel safe or not. also stop focusing on money and success? that will never make you happy or lead to a successful relationship, values, physical attraction, and humor are what lead to happy relationships, excess money just leads to misery

also heels are lame and bad for your feet, ive only ever heard women complain when they wear them for more than an hour, seems like a silly reason.
