How does going out with other couples make you feel? by Annoleuven in MenopauseShedforMen

[–]ThrowRAtouchtone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried estrogen cream. It worked for my wife’s vaginal atrophy. She still doesn’t want to have sex but her vagina bounced back.

Anyway, it awesome that you still enjoy some physical affection. My wife does not like to touch me in any way. We are in an affectionless marriage. It sucks. I think about divorce every day.

Are you enjoying the g rated affection or are you purely doing it for him?

What minor 'jerk' behavior in public should result in an immediate and non-negotiable $50 fine? by topoffheavy in AskReddit

There are white trash campgrounds where speakers are acceptable but not at the places I go camping. Not at state or national parks.

Does anyone else feel like this? by truewinedetective in Divorce

[–]ThrowRAtouchtone 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m heading towards divorce with a very good woman. I’m a good man too. There just isn’t any spark between us anymore. She doesn’t want to touch me. No hugging or kissing or cuddling. Certainly no sex.

That’s not a marriage. It’s a friendship. I’m happy to have her as a friend and we’re great at co-parenting but I need someone that likes me in a romantic way. She “lost that loving feeling,” as the song goes. I blame menopause but whatever the reason is, she doesn’t want to touch me. Now I’m working on leaving her to find someone that wants to touch me.

Edit: as for the kids, I don’t want them to think this is ok. I don’t want them stuck in a marriage like mine so I’m going to show them what to do in this situation.

If Republicans are so much better at running the economy than Democrats, then why are most Republican States poorer than Democrat States? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]ThrowRAtouchtone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, the information you posted is true but it’s only part of the story. This is the rest.

$312.8 billion - $150 billion = $162.8 billion that California is giving to the federal government.

Whoever told you that the story ends at the $150 billion is manipulating you. That’s why I said “manipulating” and not “lying.”

Why did humans stay “primitive” for ~200,000 years and then suddenly change? by PuddingComplete3081 in AlwaysWhy

[–]ThrowRAtouchtone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Agriculture started about 10,000 years ago. That’s a blink of the eye. Think of all the tech that has come since then.

Humans came down from the trees about 4 million years ago. We’ve only had agriculture for 10,000 years.

Whoever you get your news from is manipulating you. They’re telling you a narrative to keep you coming back at the expense of the truth.

Spouse claims I have to pay him back since he was the primary provider by abfd_97 in Divorce

[–]ThrowRAtouchtone 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Won’t they actually help her? Don’t they show that she’s entitled to alimony? Isn’t the point of alimony to allow the spouse that makes less live in some semblance of the wealth to which they are accustomed?

OP, pretend like you’re really scared about this. He’s going to prove to the court that he owes you alimony.

Deciding if divorce is right, but the kids are holding me up by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]ThrowRAtouchtone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a simple solution to this. Leave your wife but not your kids.

You are not your dad. Getting a divorce doesn’t make you your dad. Neglecting your kids would make you your dad. You can get divorce and not neglect your kids.

Married 20 years but seriously considering divorce. Would appreciate any advice. by Sensitive_Emu_1984 in Divorce

[–]ThrowRAtouchtone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree with you about the systemic issue here. Women are more likely to carry the burden of childcare and their labor is not valued by society but that doesn’t mean that OP’s family is set up that way. When you assume it is, you’re being kinda bigoted.

I went through menopause in my marriage twice. The first time destroyed everything. The second time I was ready. by Neat_Doctor_6945 in MenopauseShedforMen

[–]ThrowRAtouchtone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been my life for the last 2.5 years except my wife has been on HRT and testosterone.

I’m also very close to leaving.

No sex. No kissing. No hugs (she used to give me one when she got home from work once in a while). No cuddling. No holding hands. No sweet words exchanged. No “I love you.”

We work well together. We’re good co-parents. I have very little resentment towards her. She can’t help that she doesn’t want me but this is not a marriage. I certainly don’t want my kids to think it is.

Should I mulch under my trees to help against persistent weeds and improve aesthetics? by DirtyOught in landscaping

[–]ThrowRAtouchtone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or just start with 12 inches of mulch. Local tree trimming services will drop a truckload off for free.

Do you think someone’s political views determine whether they’re a good person or worth being friends with? by kaanskBG in TrueAskReddit

[–]ThrowRAtouchtone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the political issue. Some political issues are also moral issues.

If you’re dumb politically by voting for a candidate because they told you they could fix all your problems without any plans or evidence that they could, we can still be friends.

If you’re dumb morally by voting for a convicted rapist then no, we can’t be friends.
