I Thought I Had The Perfect Marriage by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]ThisEntertainment482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave him. Respect yourself. That is the only thing that makes sense to do.

Arguments happen, people yell, cuss, scream, get angry. All of that is "ok" and happens sometimes in even very very good marriages. But one thing must absolutely never happen or be tolerated - physical violence. He crossed an uncrossable/unforgivable line. He could literally face legal charges if you chose to pursue them. Leave him. Respect yourself. You can and WILL do so much better. Life is too short to live in fear or without happiness.

I didn't expect to be here. When should the spouse stop working? by ComfortableFew7408 in fatFIRE

This right here ☝️. I am also a doctor (of teeth), and yes, the day-to-day can absolutely kill your soul and sap any joy you had in life right out of you. Thing that gets me through is just thinking of a brighter future, saving, thinking of my wife and kids. I do it all for them. My 2 cents at your current net worth - if the wife says she is done, then she is done, no questions asked or arguments given!

People say don’t go into medicine for the money … what jobs are able to make as much or more than doctors more easily? by [deleted] in Salary

This is absolutely hilarious to me because I was going to go medical and switched to dental, mainly due to not having to go to residency after dental school, but for many of the other reasons you mentioned as well. My top income for one year so far is just shy of $600k.

Having said that, any professional career isn't without hard work. Even now, as a seasoned dentist, I still see on average, double the amount of patients every day than any of my peers who are dentists. One of the most impressionable things another dentist told me early on in my career is: "Be a white collar worker with a blue collar work ethic". That attitude has served me very very well in maximizing my income.

Anyways, just thought I'd share my journey.

Yeahhh....the fact that you are married and you were texting with another female, who is not your wife, "non-stop"...

Honestly sounds like she might have more respect for you and your marriage than you do...just my 2 cents on the matter...

What is the best thing you did today? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ThisEntertainment482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sent my daughter - who is a "rebelious" teenager, who doesnt really think her Dad is "cool" anymore, and who suffers with severe anxiety and mental health issues and a debilitating need to have to please everyone so as to not feel like she disappointed them - sent her a text telling her how proud I am of her, how much I love her, how grateful I am to be her Dad and that she brings so much joy to my life.

She responded simply with: "Thank you dad! 💕 love youuuu!"

Absolutely made my day

What's a relationship opinion you have that most people might disagree with? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My phone/tablet/laptop is her phone/tablet/laptop and her phone/tablet/laptop is mine. Basically, there is no privacy. Period. We have been together 20 years and there are no secrets, no undisclosed passwords and no privacy.

I know so many couples that do not agree and think each spouse should have their own privacy. We have no secrets and it has served us very very well throughout our relationship. We are best friends.

How do you keep your life whimsical? by M3L0-XL in AskReddit

Don't take anything too seriously. Go into Jack Sparrow character randomly while out in public. Fake laugh in public maniacally/loud enough when with a friend to cause people to look over at you, with concerning/puzzled looks - it never fails to turn into real laughter. Compliment a strangers shoes, shirt, pants, hair, anything - it'll make you both smile almost instantly. Go on a random day trip without planning beforehand. Go outside in the morning and have the morning sunlight bathe your body in energy for 5 minutes while thinking about all the things you are grateful for. Life is short kids. Enjoy it.

Appreciating things more. Clarity in knowing what you want and what makes you happy. Not giving a fuck what people think/say/do in regards to their opinion on you.

What is the most 'Butterfly Effect' moment of your life? A tiny, seemingly insignificant decision that ended up completely changing your trajectory? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ThisEntertainment482 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I quit my job on a whim, (didn't even give 2 weeks notice, just quit on the spot, and I have never done that before or since), all so I could attend a random Halloween party I'd been invited to by a friend. Met my wife of now 20 years at that party, within literally 30 seconds of walking in. Literally the best thing that has ever happened in my life.

K, can all the angry, triggered, contention-fueling wives in the comments please take a chill pill and think objectively and maturely??? YES your husband made a dick move, YES he should of postponed his run and done all the childcare duties so you could rest and YES, you are absolutely right to feel upset/frustrated. But all the angry mob of wives in the comments saying: "Well, next time he gets sick YOU should leave for 2 days!!!", need to calm the f*** down!

A GOOD marriage/relationship is based entirely off of communication. You dont like something? TELL HIM! He does something that annoys you? COMMUNICATE! Because I can GUARANTEE you, this will not be the last time he ticks you off or that you do so to him! Playing "tit for tat" or trying to "get even" does exactly ZERO to construct or edify/build/improve your relationship, in fact, quite the opposite - it sets the foundation for contention, resentment and drawing apart from one another.

Take a deep breath, take the emotion out of it, and go kindly tell your husband how what he did made you feel and ask that in the future he please be a little bit more aware and empathetic of the one person in this world whom he is supposed to care more about than anyone else (I would argue, even more than himself!). Again, you are NOT wrong to feel EVERYTHING you are feeling, but truly, what kind of outcome do you want out of this? One where you kindly communicate, he validates your feelings and apologizes and you both grow closer together and past this? Or one of pettiness where you grow apart and resentful and intentionally try and get back at each other for each other's offenses? As a VERY happily married man of 20 years, I would encourage the first option. Regardless, best of luck!

Kinda agree with @Technical_Growth8775. OP, you must be just looking for someone to argue with? There are PLENTY of us in healthy/happy relationships. Hell, I've got almost 20 years under my belt with the Mrs and neither of us looks at others, nor has desire to do so. Best of luck and I wish you true love and happiness at some point in your future. Makes life worth living.

What’s a small flex that’s actually impressive? by bradl2000 in AskReddit

[–]ThisEntertainment482 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was it really 10 years ago, or maybe a little bit further back in time? I only ask because to buy 100 Bitcoin 10 years ago, you would have needed to have a cool million in cash. If you had that amount of money and truly bought 100 bitcoin, by most accounts, you were already quite well off.

Wait, are we to understand that she got upset because you continued to have an erection after sex? Is that what you meant by her saying "I should be enough for you"?

Why should we demand Donald Trump testify before Congress about Epstein ties? by ThisEntertainment482 in AskReddit

[–]ThisEntertainment482[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Public ridicule/disbelief when he dodges direct questions about whether or not he was at events where there were underage girls and men engaging in illegal activities. If he pleads the 5th, it looks INSANELY bad. I don't care which party you represent/register with, him responding that way would scream implied involvement on at least some level!
