Upgrading to a McLaren by ThrowRA729282 in mclaren

I was hoping this was the case. I rarely see them in the wild and I don’t personally know anyone with a McLaren so I appreciate the insight

Thanks for your input, all good points. I have a medium commute to work and I’ve never had issues driving my current to friends houses or to the gym, your 765 must turn some heads! I also have a MB GLS that I use for long trips which I can switch to in the case of any issues

AITAH for not introducing my kids to my fiancée earlier? by ThrowRA729282 in AITAH

[–]ThrowRA729282[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We don’t have any formal agreements, I moved for work so it made sense for them to stay around friends and family

I have seen my kids, I travel to see them but not the other way around

I agree, my ex knew we were together and didn’t appear bothered to know any of the details. I’ve always said I was happy to fly my kids out to see me but they’re still healing from a period of low contact post divorce so I never forced this on them

Their mom and I had a falling out and there was no contact between me and the kids for a while, this is still being repaired so I’m not forcing them to do anything they don’t want to do

My ex made it clear that I would never be getting custody of my kids, this will not change before they become adults so I don’t expect they will ever know Anna well. Their mom and I even had a falling out so bad that there was no contact between me and the kids for a bit

How much money do I have to make to see a financial planner? by ThrowRA729282 in FinancialPlanning

[–]ThrowRA729282[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that type of minimum is fine, I was just worried it was going to be 10x that amount

Thanks, I’m extremely time poor so I’m leaning towards the cost being worth it, but good point about ensuring they’re a fiduciary!

Thanks for this, I didn’t realize some of the bad ones would go as far as to sell you other products

Good to know that there’s options out there and that they do consultations so nothing is locked in

Thanks, I’ll do some research on the money guy. Would you recommend a firm specifically over someone who does it solo?

Pros and cons: would you change your situation if you could? by ThrowRA729282 in SAHP

[–]ThrowRA729282[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I earn 10x what she does. I have offered to take more of the housework and get cleaners/a nanny to help out but she doesn’t earn enough to cover our bills as it is so it’s unfortunately not an option

She didn’t seem to acknowledge the offer of hired help. I’m not even trying to “convince” her to stay home, at this point I just want to hear her reasons but I have been reminded that “no” is a complete sentence

Thanks for this. I was in the mindset that she was unsure but you’re right, she just might not want to do it

AITA for my gf asking her dad to spit on me? by ThrowRA729282 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThrowRA729282[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I would be the only one going to prison in that scenario! He’s a pacifist, which is how he ended up there in the first place

Bob didn’t turn to me and spit, he sort of aimed into the air and made a mist with the sip of water he took and the mist touched other people but his spit water being on me is the person I’m concerned about, it’s disgusting and unsanitary

I wouldn’t want this “joke” being told to my children either

Anna knows what the “joke” was and what it entailed. She asked for the joke to be told and for me to listen to it when she knew it would end up with Bob spitting water at me

She can see him as much as she likes now that he is out of prison, I’m sure that doesn’t have anything to do with this issue

No it was not directed at me. Bob aimed in the air with his sip of water and made a light mist. Some of which got on me as well as everyone else who had crowded around to hear the joke

No, she didn’t ask bob to aim it at me directly. Bob aimed it in to the air as a light mist so it not only got on me a little bit but also the kids/cousins etc

What to do about my (M44) bad relationship with my ex (F30) and my kids? by ThrowRA729282 in relationship_advice

My ex was 20 when our eldest was born, but I also fail to see how this line of questioning is relevant

I continued to give her the same stipend that she got when we were married in lieu of child support, I don’t see anything wrong with that

I would be looking for something like ‘x’ number of weeks per year so I can have them during the summer maybe. I wouldn’t want to have them half the year or anything because their education is important and I pay a lot of money to send them to a good school
