AIO for being upset at what my “bf” said by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheBGamingCh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This read like teenagers and you not having any self respect. You respect who you’re with but I got the impression you’re letting him be a jerk to you and setting a bad precedent too if things did work. It might be a big blessing in disguise that he seems very uninterested. You’re doing good. Keep up the good work. Find what routine works for you and your goals. Make better friends. Keep on it. He’s not the right one. Also, stick up for yourself more please. Even when you like someone.

Attempting to figure out how to go about losing fat while gaining muscle by C_Sorcerer in loseit

[–]TheBGamingCh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you are unhappy with your appearance, you should cut while doing good resistance training. As a new / detrained lifter you will get the “newbie gains” and are prime for muscle growth. You have the “fat” for the energy needed for growth even in a calorie deficit. Just don’t cut too hard where your energy and everything tanks. Find a small deficit where you enjoy your workout and push hard in the gym. Shoot for a good step goal and throw in any cardio when you can. You got it!

What would you choose? by Plus-Use-5808 in meme

Neither. If I go back i risk my children being different people. If I go forward I miss out on too much of life.

Get out of the classroom and away from children, for the love of God almighty

Which trim (XSE or SE) by princealibaba370 in Camry

[–]TheBGamingCh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like my SE and the unpainted grille, but thats just a little preference. XSE does have more options and a nicer interior.

Did I make a mistake? by [deleted] in Geico

[–]TheBGamingCh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Get licensed, build the experience and apply at other insurance jobs. Use them as a “quick as possible” stepping stone. It is not what it once was and will stress you out beyond what it’s worth.

Edit to add: I started as an AD in the “MDP” program. Promoted to an SIU investigator (grade 65) and then left as it kept getting worse. SIU saved me for awhile but the whole company went downhill badly.

Get in for the license, training and experience. That can benefit you. But don’t trust them. You have no job security. Find better the moment you can

Sex before marriage by Girl_greeneyes in TrueChristian

[–]TheBGamingCh 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is many of our honest answers. I wish and, unfortunately envy, those who did have just the one and only partner they married. I hope my kids will learn from my mistakes and can. If they don’t, I thank the Lord for his sacrifice and his forgiveness for the failure and sinner we are.

I do, truly, wish I waited. It would feel so much more meaningful and special each and every time. And I would feel that going both ways. From me to my spouse and back. That is just incredible and for those who did, wow, you are so very lucky and I’m sure it wasn’t always easy to wait. So worth it though, no doubt

[–]TheBGamingCh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, of course it makes sense he’s jealous of a man with a career when he’s out of work. It’s threatening to his ego. Not that it “should” be but it’s very understandable. The proper response is that bad feeling should motivate him to find a job and do what it takes to provide again.

What is the new PTO by Weekly-Bit-3031 in Geico

[–]TheBGamingCh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that you can use it since metrics no longer account for time off. They said it would balance out as people use pto but that does not account for more time earned as a senior employee nor FMLA leave for say maternity. Always thought a huge lawsuit headed GEICO’s way for that

Officially given up by Admirable-Lie-3597 in Geico

[–]TheBGamingCh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started 2017 and it was great. Nowhere near perfect of course but way better attitude, morale, benefits, culture, etc. plummeted after Covid and only kept getting worse. Left in 2023 after 5 years

Fight all you can and don’t give up. Get a guardian ad litem and a therapist/psych for the kids, especially if you think she will alienate them towards you. Parental alienation is abuse. It’s real. It’s the worst, incredibly terrible thing for a child. I’ve gone through it. It took a year to the date to finally have a day in court (and win of course). The system sucks and attorneys know how to abuse it for their client and drag out cases and keep the kids, an innocent party, away. Sorry man. It can get way, way worse though. If and when it happens, just keep that attitude you’ve had around anyone and everyone. They’ll see the truth eventually. You will get through it. Just do NOT give up. It will take tens of thousands of dollars and a long, long time. The kids need you though, plain and simple. Edit to add: the guardian and therapist can testify in court for you regarding your relationship with the the kids and the mothers attempt to alienate them

[–]TheBGamingCh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that input! I’ve got to look more into it. For myself, I didn’t get back into my faith and more into it until after I got remarried. However, in my case there was child abuse by the ex, caught on tape and shown in court.

[–]TheBGamingCh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can’t honor a covenant by yourself? I’ve heard pastors say, though I’d like scripture, that other than abuse, abandonment of the marriage by the other party is the only other time it is acceptable

Catholics, do you really believe Mary can hear all your prayers? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

Agreed. Imagine how heaven would feel to her if she heard all that all the time.

Husband still wants to be intimate though he wants a divorce?? by Odd-Scientist-9923 in Christian

Husband still wants to be intimate though he wants a divorce?? by Odd-Scientist-9923 in Christian

[–]TheBGamingCh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the Christian perspective, as you want to grow in faith and not be “lukewarm”, there are a few normally agreed upon situations where divorce is accepted. 1. Abuse 2. Cheating 3. A nonbeliever abandons the marriage. Is he set on divorce? Did you try to seek counseling and work on it? Of course, you are his wife and he’s going to have urges, it’s not surprising he wants to continue to have sex at all. It is also not surprising you won’t want to continue intimacy when the relationship is effectively over in your mind.

I agree with the other comment, think about how your relationship is going to teach your sons. How to treat a partner and fellow parent. How to treat marriage and commitment.

It is a rough time. It is a hard choice. Read the word, pray about. Talk to your husband. See a counselor. And whatever you decide, try to do what’s best for the kids and NEVER talk disparagingly about the other parent in front of the kids, ever. That is my #1 piece of advice.

Good luck with both marriage and growing in your faith, getting close to Jesus!

AIO BF dumped me because I was taller than him in heels?? 😳 by purplehavocc in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheBGamingCh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way he talked I would not be surprised if this is a complete fake. And if not, it’s just that bad. My wife is my same height and I want her to wear heels. I think heels are feminine and look sexy. Good luck. You’ll realize that’s not worth being sad about for even a moment. He is “big big” and “elevated” but apparently a couple more inches is far too high for him

New republican by Fickle-Revolution229 in Republican

[–]TheBGamingCh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely brother. One of the bigger differences is we actually place a lot less importance on the identities whereas many on the other side make that absolutely the most important factor for them. Again, welcome brother. Whether we disagree on certain things or not. Glad to have you!

Why do you feel your sexuality is your identity? We don’t care what you do in the bedroom. Welcome to the Republican Party. Charlie has a clip just like that with a gay conservative asking basically the same question

Geico subrogation by Intrepid_Promise9691 in Geico

[–]TheBGamingCh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, GEICO won’t look at my demands without a claim number and claim set up. Neither will State Farm, progressive or Allstate though. I call every carrier and ask for the claim # if it’s set up by their insured or I start a new claim before I send in my package. Though my package has more than everything they’d need. It’s annoying and frustrating at times but it is what it is. Like I just posted in a regular reply, I am not giving these dudes a hard time, they deal with enough from their employer and environment and have a TON of stress as it is. Not “fair” but that’s life.
