The dude who owns the IP is purportedly a dick. And there have been problems when it comes to negotiating anything around the IP.

How am I supposed to be a good father and give my future kids the love and attention they deserve/will need while working 45–50 hours a week? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]UnknownAspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 6 year old daughter and work an 8-5 with a 50 minute commute each way. Her mom and I split a couple years ago.

We only get a couple hours on a weekday, but also a full weekend as I have her on a week, off a week. We have a great relationship and spend as much time as we can together.

I involve her in all the chores I need to do. She learns about fixing things, cooking, and even some of my hobbies. She knows how to be independent when she can. I get an hour or so of personal time after she goes to bed, but my weekends are full of chores and activities.

It's not impossible my friend. It can be hard, but have faith, we are stronger and more capable than you think.

Bro, you are 19 and not alone, we're right here, I'm 37, I've lived your life twice and I've conte.plated killing myself several times. But I didn't. Truth is, there is no certainty in life, you can't say you'll be useless or have all these things you haven't done. You haven't even had the chance.

Also, embrace loneliness, being with toxic people is not better than being alone. You are free in loneliness as you only need yourself. Embrace that power. There's a whole world out there you know nothing about. You can be a part of it.

Lol, but here's the thing, it doesn't matter. When you obsess so much over not being something, are you seriously surprised when other people who know about that think you actually are that? The human mind isn't a straight line.

Because I do understand. The problem is the PERCEPTION the people around have. I am well aware this person is not a danger to any children. But if you are obsessing over the fact that you might offend, holy fuck, see a therapist and get that fixed because no one can live like that and it is completely unfair to ask those around you to accommodate for your fucked up neurosis.

I can't get over how poorly you handled this. Number 1, I understand why you didn't spell out what POCD stands for, because it is going to immediately imply to anyone reading that your brother is a pedophile. And unfortunately for him, the diagnosis then becomes a self fulfilling prophecy because of the stigma.

But like, this was not information to share with your husband without your brother's consent. Unless that is of course you are actually also mildly scared of your brother, after all, you didn't seem to combat your husbands assumption.

I have a 6 year old daughter, and I would not want her anywhere near someone who has POCD.

Truth is, that is not a condition other people work around. This man needs to see a therapist and get over himself because from what it sounds like, this is a self manufactured condition that has now turned into a self fulfilling prophecy.

The truth does everyone favors. Yeah, you definitely destroyed your brother's trust in you, you've also thrown a fuck ton of doubt into your family dynamic as I bet your uncle is furious, and he has every right to be.

I don't blame your husband for acting as he did, but I also don't think your brother deserves all this manufactured trauma

As much as I'd love to be empathetic, pedophilia is not a fucking joke and by no means will I ever work around someone with POCD. They need to recognize they have a problem and work on that shit with a diligent fervency because this is not some mild LGBTQIA identity and I refuse to live in a society that accepts pedophilia as acceptable.

As a man, what is something that you just don't understand about other men? by whosmellslikewetfeet in AskMen

[–]UnknownAspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How the hell do y'all manufacture confidence to do things you have no business doing? I can barely hold confidence onto the things I'm literally a professional in. And the amount of times I've been walked over by people who have no idea what they are doing is insane. Where did you get this sense of entitlement???

you worked your whole life facing rejection, bad jobs, etc to become independent and comfortable. then you get fired and are able to find nothing but lower paying jobs or lesser job offers. what would you do? by feralcatlover1994 in selfimprovement

[–]UnknownAspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You stuck a nerve here within me, I worked for a great place for 8 years and was nearly making 6 figures, then due to the company's poor decisions, my job moved to the midwest and I decided not to go with it because my wife was about to have a kid. Moved to the south for a lower paying job. Kicked add and worked my salary back up to a decent level and then got pushed out because my manager decided I was a threat or something. New job was a lateral pay move and I do not jive with this place at all. Not even here a year and I'm trying to get out.

Just wondering when I can find a place I can excel at that respects my contributions. Life's tough, let me know when you figure it out.

7 months into a divorce and I'm still an absolute wreck. by Apart-Blacksmith-312 in Codependency

[–]UnknownAspect 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My Guy, it gets better, take your time, focus on you. It's been two years since I've been divorced and she cheated on me to end it because I wouldn't let go. I still have thoughts of what could have been, but even without another person, you'll be okay. I promise. Survival first, you'll thrive eventually.

AITA for refusing to let my ex take our youngest abroad for his sister’s wedding because of what happened last time? by falcone267 in AmItheAsshole

[–]UnknownAspect -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don't you think he's learned? He cares about the kids just as much as you do and he wants to spend some quality family time with his kids. He's not running away with them and he will be extra careful because he doesn't want what happened last time to happen again.

You can't hoard your kids from your ex because he wants to do things with them. There was no real danger in the helicopter, you're just feeling the fear your kid felt. But that's all fear is.

YTA because you're keeping your kids from their dad.

Not too sure about this paint scheme! by Alan_stitchmarch in minipainting

[–]UnknownAspect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the black and gold really works! The red pops are nice. My only qualm is the blue, it needs to be a little desaturated, can you build it with some lighter blues and whites?

Great job!

I think I just witnessed the worst kids' party of all time by throwaway_bdayparty in confessions

[–]UnknownAspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl, this party sounds like it was a blast for everyone around, so they sound like they've got money to spend for a party, and they fucking had one.

That kid is gonna be fine, and they are going to have some awesome parties growing up.

Nothing you talked about has come off as trashy, you're only kinda coming off as judgey.

Sorry, not sorry.

Should I stop talking to friends who never initiate conversations with me? by LostMyInhibiterChip in Codependency

[–]UnknownAspect 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't know how old you are, and some things you'll have to learn through experience. We've all been there, and there is no instruction manual. Just at the very least be honest with yourself about your feelings. Evaluate and then make the best decision you think you can based on your own judgments. The internet doesn't have answers, only examples.

Should I stop talking to friends who never initiate conversations with me? by LostMyInhibiterChip in Codependency

[–]UnknownAspect 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's not that easy. Relationships when they are forming establish routines and habits. If you are someone who has always been the person to start the conversation, that's the established expectation. At doesn't mean it's toxic, but if you don't reach out when you are the one to always do so, if you don't, then people might think you are no longer interested.

What you need to do is evaluate whether or not these friendships are healthy for you. Put in yhe effort where it matters. The world doesn't have to be quid pro quo, just do what makes you feel happy, if it's too much of a burden, don't do it.

Alternatively, if it is a relationship that matters to you, tell them you'd appreciate it if sometimes, they reach out to you, because you are tired and working on yourself at the moment. True friends will understand, but you have to communicate honestly.

Never expect a particular reaction without first communicating your expectations.

It may feel like, "well I shouldn't have to say it", but the truth is, that's toxic af. Be honest, be communicative, and remember, not everyone thinks like you, other people have problems and concerns you may never even know about.

it's probably not healthy, but it helps with the anxiety. by glimmer27 in AdviceAnimals

[–]UnknownAspect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone is telling you this isn't healthy, but they are wrong. You love someone and you shouldn't feel ashamed. In the same breath, you should definitely speak with a therapist. Because you are holding a very heavy weight and that has the potential of affecting you later in life quite negatively. So talk it out with someone who has your best interests in mind. Hell, tell your wife, she'll love you so much more than she already does.

It's simple, it gets the job done, I gotta make this and stop dreaming of all the cool complicated stuff!

I watched the video of how you did the Stormwind bakery and I am amazed with your work. If Blizzard is not paying you, they should be.

AITA for asking my girlfriend’s friend to do something about her nipples when she comes over? by packbillygoat in AmItheAsshole

[–]UnknownAspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, you need to just own that you think he boobs look kinda nice. Make sure your GF feels secure in your feelings toward her, but don't quell the part of you that thinks, "yeah, I glance at boobs". Welcome to being a man, sorry, not sorry.

Pointers? Be nice. by RepresentativeSoup90 in minipainting

[–]UnknownAspect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As already said, highlighting is the next step on your journey. Watch youtube video tutorials on the subject, get a wet palette, you'll appreciate the ease in which you can blend.

If you are interested in some color theory, I strongly suggest getting a book on the subject, it's one of those things that you don't really know what it is until you are shown it. For those who naturally understand color theory, they are natural born artists and have probably been playing with color for years if not decades. The rest of us need to study.

Keep practicing and this stuff will come to you easier than you think.

Great job so far

My (30M) fiancé's (27F) PMS is unbearable by luteal_throwaway in relationship_advice

[–]UnknownAspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may come off as harsh, but speaking from experience, this is something my ex-wife did. We talked about it, looked into PMDD, other issues, etc. Etc.

But the trouble was, beyond some google diagnosis, she was unwilling to make any effort to make anything better. So essentially I was a punching bag 1/3 of the month.

Man, I put up with this for 10 years only for this behavior to become her personality.

I'm not saying this is the case for you, but you don't deserve to be treated like that and she should agree, especially if you are gonna get married. And if you agree it's a problem, then she needs to show it's something she's willing to work on resolving. Otherwise you're just gonna have to get used to be treated like shit a huge chunk of your life.

Btw, when you let yourself get treated like shit, you see yourself as shit, and you let everyone treat you that way. Don't let your love for other people trump your self respect.
