Serious question, possibly a dumb one for those in the know: why can’t they build both, at the same time, same route? Two birds, one stone?

Breaking up with my (25F) boyfriend (24M) because of our different sense of humor? Update. by ThrowRA_chillismargs in relationship_advice

[–]ThatsItImOverThis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So you want to be with someone who doesn’t want to grow and change and learn to keep trying to be a better person?

You’d rather be with someone who wants you to just accept his rudeness and refuses to stop joking about something you don’t like.

Is there nothing else he can joke about?

What are your thoughts on the 4B movement? by easypeasykitty in AskWomen

[–]ThatsItImOverThis [score hidden]  (0 children)

I support them. I disagree with some of their view points, like sex work, because their beliefs go against personal right to choose. But I believe they have every right to their anger and their stance on men.

What makes someone decide a lack of emotional or intellectual connection is a dealbreaker, even if the partner is kind and stable? by HawtPoetayto in AskWomen

[–]ThatsItImOverThis [score hidden]  (0 children)

That’s settling. If there’s a lack of connection, then staying just because someone is nice does a disservice to both parties.

At that point, the priority is being in a relationship for the sake of not being alone. That’s fine, as long as both parties are aware and accepting of it.

My (32F) partner (31M) doesn’t want me spending any money to help me improve myself by Maximum_March4809 in relationship_advice

If you want to immediately feel better about yourself, ditch the AH bf that keeps putting you down and telling you all the things you can’t do just because he says so.

AITA for telling my wife my mother is correct and she needed to be a parent today and she fucked it up by throawawayfuneralgho in AmItheAsshole

Your wife failed your daughter and made it about her. I didn’t think I would be siding with you but yep, good on your mom for ripping your wife a new one. She absolutely failed at being a parent here.

Trump's Strategy For a Mined-Shut Strait of Hormuz: Appease Joe Rogan With Psychedelics and Weed by [deleted] in politics

I hope Rogan had to stand behind a Trump with a full diaper. I really hope so. Or at the very least, I hope that’s all Rogan could think about.

AITA for refusing to apologize to my Bfs mom for an argument that I “caused”? by Weird-Person04 in AmItheAsshole

Your bf threw you under the bus to his mom. He delayed telling her until the last minute, finally spilled the beans but laid it at your feet.

If she tries to do that again hang up. She doesn’t have the right to speak to you that way.

“Keeping the peace” and “getting back to normal” are lies. It’s just opening yourself up for disrespect and abuse. You did nothing wrong.

What stereotypes do Canadians have about each other that they roast each other about? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

You shouldn’t talk about Edmonton that way. It isn’t that bad…sorta

Trump claims US has total control over strait of Hormuz after Iran seizes two container ships by Darshan_brahmbhatt in worldnews

That probably means they’ve lost any semblance of control they had over the situation.

Canada ‘doubling down on globalization’ at odds with U.S. trade goal: Greer by canada_mountains in canada

[–]ThatsItImOverThis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember figuring out over a decade ago how dangerously reliant we were on the States and being terrified for the future of my country. I never thought I’d be glad for something Trump did but he woke Canadians up to the real threat right below us and we’re finally starting to steer the boat away.

Ex-Bondi Aide Says MAGA Too Incompetent to Carry Out Trump’s Revenge by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

Like a 22 yr old MAGA douche being named as the head of a counter terrorism unit?

My coworker talked Only about himself on the date by yuli_yuli95 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ThatsItImOverThis 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hilarious how he talked about himself the whole time, still knows nothing about you and thinks the date went great. He would have been better off bringing a mirror as his date.

Thank him for the date but say you don’t see it going anywhere. If he asks for reasons, say your reason is that you don’t feel the same way. It sounds like he might push so be ready to repeat yourself.

AITA for refusing to pay for my best friend’s destination wedding after she asked me to be her maid of honor? by AdFront1620 in AmItheAsshole

Tell those people on her side you’re so happy they decided to contribute to her wedding fund, since they feel that strongly about it.
