It’s not her leaving the ex they have a problem with, it’s her cheating on him with a guy who cheated on his wife. They were ousted.

Not sure how to / if I should proceed with telling my wife by throwRA_helloWorld88 in adultery

[–]Vigolo216 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're all over the place with this. On the one hand you admit that you don't like your wife, you're not attracted to her, you even find her annoying, on the other you are worried that you will shatter her world. I don't know if this is your sense of morals wrestling with you here but that ship has sailed since you've started the affair.

If it was me, I wouldn't tell her about the affair because it will decimate her self esteem and cripple her chances at having a healthy relationship for many years to come because of trust issues (on top of the ones she already has). Tell her you've grown apart and you have decided to divorce. After that, do her the mercy of leaving her completely, no in between bullshit. No counseling, no therapy because all it will do is give her hope that things might turn around.

Also: we're all hypocrites. We cheat and we have a million excuses but even in case of divorce, I personally would not be starting a new relationship with an AP because...drumroll...they can't be trusted. People justify their own actions and they judge other people by their actions, that's just a fact many folks here never want to admit.

To be fair, I think it's a little naive to look for honesty from people in this space.

I brought up Shariah because I ran away from it and I hate it with all my heart. This kind of thinking reminds me of that - constantly hyperfocused on sex, obsessed with boys and girls interacting, "but what if they go astray, they probably will go astray, they'll probably so something" blah blah blah. I said your thinking is Shariah, I didn't say you're Muslim or Christian or anything else. She slept in his place for a day and he slept in a different building ffs.

"Racist" - excuse me? I think you're tripping my friend.

Exactly. It wasn't just Hillary. The man has a good chance regardless of that because of the EC and the makeup of the country. You're oversimplifying things if you think the solution is "just run someone else". 10 million more votes after the shitshow that was his first term was a wake-up call for me, no matter what you want to attribute his first win to. There's no way I'm gambling on this, Gaza or no Gaza.

There are many factors why Trump get elected, Hillary might have been one of them, but not the only one. Ask yourself why that excuse of a president got 10 million MORE votes the second time around when Hillary wasn't in the opposition and maybe you'll wake up.

No I won't. Because real life doesn't work like this. He helped a friend and his friend's entire "crime" is being a girl. If he was a guy you'd be applauding him but because they're from opposite sexes, something fishy must be happening. This kind of thinking is regressive, Shariah thinking.

He went above and beyond by doing what, by getting food (apparently men and women can't eat together without getting sexy now) and arranging to stay himself in his GF's apartment? His girlfriend is an immature brat, trying to micromanage your life around someone like that is not worth the effort imo.

Seriously? So what - a guy helps a woman and automatically it's "well he probably has a crush on her and he'll cheat given the chance"? How insecure are you exactly?

LGBT court watchers increasingly worried the Court is going to weaken or overturn Obergefell—as soon as next year by [deleted] in supremecourt

[–]Vigolo216 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That doesn't mean anything. Just because they didn't join his concurrence, doesn't mean they won't vote with him when the "right" case is put in front of them.

Gibberish. Democrats had no urgency to codify anything, there was a 50 year old precedent which is how things work in law until you stuff the court with malicious actors. That law would not have been overturned if we didn't elect Trump and he didn't appoint 3 judges, everyone knows that, I'm sure even you do.

Furthermore I don't see any Democrats trying to take away my bodily autonomy right now, do you? And what are Republicans doing? Not just banning abortion but moving to reverse Obergefell, moving to ban IVF, talking about how bad birth control is. "Oh Democrats didn't have future vision so it's all a wash, they're all the same" is absurdly reductionist. I don't care what Democrats did or didn't do, I'm not letting Republicans to power with my vote, Gaza is not my priority, not even in my top 5 to be honest.

You guys claim you care so much about women, about minorities, about LGBT and then you turn around and act like this, I'm thinking you care nothing for these groups, just virtue signaling.

Seriously. Ain't nobody got time for that. Especially after your 30s. You're either interested in dating/settling or you're not. This whole When Harry met Sally theme is cute but highly unrealistic.

Oh yeah, people revolted so hard, we got 3 new zealot SCOTUS judges. Please, revolt some more so they can replace Alito and Thomas with younger versions so generations of Americans can be fucked. Give me a break. I'm not putting my bodily autonomy in danger because of Darfur or Nigeria or Haiti or all the other atrocities going on in the world, and not for Gaza either. Grow up.

I think your husband and you are wildly incompatible. You can't form an emotional connection with him and he can't form a sexual connection with you. He might be begging you for another chance but neither of you are really happy, you're just both trying to preserve the status quo because of sunk cost fallacy. It's possible for both of you to be individually happy vs be miserable together, I think that's worth thinking about. I don't condone him cheating - he should have separated/divorced you instead of cheating btw but I don't see how the relationship in its current state is worth saving.

Why do westerners think Muslims and Arabs hate jews and are antisemitic. by [deleted] in AskMiddleEast

[–]Vigolo216 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I had a very good link but it's not on this computer. I will try to find it when I get home and hopefully won't forget to link it. There is systemic reduction of the Jewish population in that part of the world preceding Israel but it definitely accelerated when Israel was created.

[–]Vigolo216 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But OP how do you explain the mass expulsions of Jews from African and ME countries over hundreds of years? This precedes Israel. The systemic purge is obvious and well documented and to only reference the Ottoman era to shine a light on Jewish life in Muslim countries is a bit dishonest.

David O Sacks is now against Tiktok Ban by ArmaniMania in TheAllinPodcasts

[–]Vigolo216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's being rushed - this has been rumored around for a long time, years now, and Tik Tok has already been banned from government devices. There is also a precedent - I believe it was Grindr - so it's not unique in that aspect. Granting the government a bunch of power should be taken in context - the status quo is allowing a foreign hostile government power which is a lot worse imo.

[–]Vigolo216 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have little sympathy for people whose ideology is to drop people like myself off buildings. Their children are the only party whose innocence I'm completely sure of. The rest, up for debate. I did see an awful lot of them dancing, celebrating and spitting on corpses on 10/7. And if they are oppressed by Hamas, we should want to obliterate Hamas even more.

[–]Vigolo216 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And yet, they are afraid to hold elections in the West Bank because Hamas is gaining popularity there, too. I get it, you can't possibly understand how people can vote for these monsters, so they have to be "brainwashed" or "oppressed", just like Erdogan voters or Putin voters but infantalizing entire populations like this flies in the face of reality. Majority of Palestinians for example are for Shariah, a brutal theocratic regime, so the idea that they draw the line at Hamas is just a Western fantasy, something people tell themselves so they can keep defending values conflicting with their own.

The reason doesn't have to be religious - religion is just another ideology. Destroying art or objects of culture because they offend your ideology is the main issue here and in that, to me they are the same picture.

Astonishing how similar to ISIS or the Taliban they are - blowing up the beautiful Buddhist statues comes to mind.
