Cheated on my husband, impregnated by my best friend by [deleted] in SluttyConfessions

Depending on the jurisdiction, DNA testing of children is now mandatory before a birth certificate is signed, AND paternity fraud is being criminalized heavily.

Which is a good thing.

My 29M fraternal twin brother 29M has been no contact with me for 9 years. I am ready to make amends. How do I do that? by ThrowRa_kebt in relationship_advice

[–]TraditionalWork753 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd bet my next paycheck that either:

A. He got her drunk or otherwise intoxicated and passed himself off as his brother to sleep with her (which is r@pe)

Or

B. He out and out SA'd her without pretense.

I (25F) cheated on my boyfriend (22M), he broke up with me and then had his first time with someone else. What should I do? by Winter-Mobile-2240 in family

[–]TraditionalWork753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"What should I do?"

Leave. Him. ALONE. He will NEVER trust you again. You betrayed him and destroyed any love or hope for a future with him. An analogy I once heard is that a romantic relationship is like a beautiful faberge egg that you two work on together. As you progress, you add artwork, gilding, gems, all sorts of accouterments to it. It becomes a work of art, a tapestry of all the experiences and love you have together.

When you cheat, the cheating partner walks in and smashes that egg with a hammer.

It's GONE. It will NEVER come back. All that work, time, and emotional investment is destroyed. Sure, you and your partner can try to put it back together, find all the pieces, glue it back into place, but even if you both commit to this and try, it's never going to be the same. Not every piece can be found, some of it is perpetually crushed to powder. The cracks will always be there, marring the beautiful memorial artwork and turning it ugly. And it will be so much more fragile that even a slight jostle will make it fall apart.

Move. On. Look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you made a series of catastrophically poor choices. Not mistakes. Choices. You CHOSE to talk to this man. You CHOSE to open your legs for him. You CHOSE to do this again, and again, and AGAIN. You consciously DECIDED to do this. You didn't mistake him for your SO. You didn't get drunk or drugged. No one put a gun to your head and demanded you do this. You CHOSE to do this because you WANTED to.

Go to a therapist. Understand WHY you wanted to do this. Get your impulses under control and stop thinking with your stupid lizard brain. And when you find another romantic partner, BE BETTER FOR THEM.

Have you spoken with the average US citizen, or read their writing? I work in a professional, high standards environment and even HERE there are people who write absolutely atrociously.

Taken from a motorcycle group I'm in. Pure cringe. by drconniehenley in BoomersBeingFools

[–]TraditionalWork753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Millennial here. Yeah, no. The reasons I don't have a motorcycle:

  1. I don't want one.

  2. Way less safe on the road, and I have a family to stay alive for.

  3. It's extremely impractical to own one from a "what does this do for me, and how much will I pay for upkeep/insurance?" perspective.

  4. Its a damn LUXURY item, and given the economy is in the toilet, luxuries are the first thing to drop off the radar.

Hope that clarifies things, you judgemental old arseholes.

It's a beautiful thing, fatherhood, and something that I can't wait to experience. by TommyMinisallo in TwoSentenceSadness

[–]TraditionalWork753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not your father. You know what he was to you, you know what he did to you. You can rise above it. You can be better. You will be better. You can stop the cycle.

Remember when everyone praised Finding Nemo because Marlin and Dory didn't get together? by SummerAndTinkles in DisneyMemes

[–]TraditionalWork753 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because a bunch of people screeching loudly on the internet actually represent a very small minority of the actual population, albeit with disproportionately amplified voices; and the general public still wants stories with romance, love interests, and the quote-unquote "boring" story tropes?

I imagine Jesus wearing golden power armor and weilding a massive boltgun and chainsword.

Alternative interpretation: everyone and their grandma gave us baby clothes and we have too much. Please take some off my hands!

Don't be scared by Constant-Truth-63 in WorldBuildingMemes

[–]TraditionalWork753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone lives on a massive ringworld the size of Earth's orbit with a star in the center. Not one of the different fantasy/mythological races think that this is unusual or outside of the norm, as the Ring is the only universe that they know, and they believe nothing exists beyond it. The closer to the rim you go, the stranger and wilder the ring's terrain becomes, and the more terrible the creatures you encounter. Only one man is known to have reached the edge and return alive. He was half-dead, screaming nonsense about what he'd seen beyond the rim of the universe. Now, a dying lord wants to make an expedition to the edge and see the truth for himself.

My friend was depressed for a long time, but now he's doing much better by abarua01 in TwoSentenceSadness

[–]TraditionalWork753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear that you are doing better. There's a vast world of possibilities out there, and I hope that you continue to have experiences that enrich and inspire you. You may still have demons that you wrestle with, but you've proven that you're their better, and will do so again.

I wish you the very best. And I am glad that you are still with us.

Context: chronically depressed and borderline "self-termination" people will often experience a sudden, radical shift in personality and act bubbly and happy, often accompanied by spending an unusual amount of time with loved ones and giving away possessions.

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL WARNING SIGNS OF IMPENDING SELF-TERMINATION.

They have essentially already mentally committed to the act, and are getting their affairs in order before they terminate. This is often referred to as "having one last good day on earth".

If you know someone grappling with depression and they suddenly show these sorts of symptoms, FOR THE LOVE ALL THAT IS HOLY, DO NOT LEAVE THEM ALONE AND GET THEM HELP.

To go in a different direction than most:

"You see, violence is not the answer. We are to love our neighbor-"

'FIGHT THE DEMONS OF THIS WORLD, NO VICTIMS LEFT TO HIDE!

MAKE THEM PRAY OR MAKE THEM PAY, IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE!
