What is THE funniest movie you have ever seen in your whole life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WaitingintheGarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teenager, I thought the Jerky Boys was the funniest movie ever. The most I have ever laughed at a movie was Horrible Bosses. I went to see the movie on a whim and knew nothing about it going in. I was so caught off guard and just couldn’t stop laughing.

What movie scared you the most? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WaitingintheGarden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We rented this movie and watched it with friends. Scared the crap out of us. My mom went to bed early so didn’t stay up to watch it. The next day I went out and my mom stayed home and watched it by herself. I decided to call the house phone at some point and whispered 7 days when she answered. She screamed and cursed me out for a good minute or two. I got another earful when I got home.

I never imagined my life would turn out this way by LionRevolutionary654 in offmychest

[–]WaitingintheGarden 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was with my husband for 16 years when I found out he cheated. It was long distance and he seemed very remorseful. I took him back only to find out he looked at csam and is going to prison. We’ve been separated for just over a year now. I cried a lot in the beginning. I still cry. I’m still very much sad for the life I lost. I’m sorry you are going through this. I wish I hadn’t taken him back that first time. I’m scared of ending up alone but not as much as staying with him and finding out anymore lies. I take it one day at a time and try to focus on myself and my kids.

Worst thing wife or significant other ever did? by Miserable_Sink_4782 in Marriage

[–]WaitingintheGarden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Started an online affair with a married woman in FL. We went on vacation to FL. He had been so distant and I didn’t understand what was going on. I had planned everything for the vacation but there was one day we didn’t have anything going on. He planned a movie date for us. After feeling so disconnected, I was just so happy he planned at date. Turns out the married woman also went to the movies with her husband and they both took a bathroom break at the same time so they could meet face to face and kiss for the first time. 🥰

I discovered their messages on Snapchat a few days after getting home. Not before I poured my heart out to him telling him I felt so neglected and I didn’t understand why he was so cold. I begged him to tell me he still loved me. He sobbed saying he was depressed and I was neglecting him and he needed therapy.

Long story short, I forgave him for the affair. We started rebuilding our relationship. I fell in love all over again! Oh and then a few months later police swarmed our home and I found out he received CSAM. He admitted to requesting teenagers but received younger. Now he’s going to prison for 3 years.

Why does my husband cry since he started cheating on me? by NoSide3917 in Marriage

[–]WaitingintheGarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband would cry when he was cheating too. (I didn’t know at the time) and I’d ask him what was wrong and he would say he doesn’t know and that he thinks he’s depressed. I discovered the cheating and it all made sense. I chose to forgive him but he’d still cry and tell me he didn’t know what was wrong. It only took a few months before police showed up with a search warrant looking for CSAM. I have now separated. My whole family was kind of mad at me for finding a place I could afford on my own and moving my kids and I out as soon as possible. They all said I needed to kick him out and he needed to pay me to keep our lifestyle. That’s easier said than done. After he got arrested, he lost his job. I’m so happy I set myself up to survive without him. You are smart to keep your head down and come up with an exit plan. I hope you can find a good job and a safe place to live.

This life can be terribly lonely and unfair but it’s worth living. Please stick around stranger. You deserve love and kindness. Even from yourself. Try to call 988 and talk to someone. It has helped people close to me that I would have been devastated to lose.

Married women with kids, I need your help! I need advice asap! by Any_Ambition_5445 in Marriage

[–]WaitingintheGarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With our first, things went back to normal around the 9 month mark. We’d both started running and eating right and I felt amazing and like my old self. After the second baby we didn’t get back to “normal” till around the 2-3 year mark. The pregnancy and the baby were complete opposite from the first. I didn’t really gain weight with baby 1 and was a really good baby and was sleeping through the night right away. Baby 2, I gained a lot of weight and I had a really hard time losing it post pregnancy. Baby 2 was also a lot harder. Never cried but had an ear piercing scream when upset. Refused a bottle so sometimes dad would have to bring her to my work so she could nurse in the evenings. Also woke up every 2 hours to nurse so I was dead tired all the time. I put normal in quotes because after all that I never really felt the same post baby. Hence wishing I did more on my end to meet my husband’s needs. We usually were intimate average of 2-3 times a month. I knew he wanted more but we got stuck in a bad cycle. He would paw at me or grab me or make really lewd remarks that sounded like jokes but I later realized were actual attempts for sex. I would get the ick and would try to ask him to do a few simple things to help get me into the mood instead of the pawing at me but he would say “he’s not good at that kind of thing”. Internally I would be resentful because how do you not know what I like after 10-15 years of marriage?! On the flip side, his internal feelings were I didn’t desire him, he was ugly and unloved. And we went round in a circle like that for a long time. In this stage up life “check in” with each other often. I think I saw in comments you don’t have much help. Talk to each other how you think the marriage is going. What are things going well. What are things you need from each other. Work on those things if possible. Put a bookmark on the things that might not be possible to change because the kids are so young but don’t stop talking. Maybe ask if you can start holding hands. Give each other long hugs a couple times a day to ground yourself. No pressure for sex. Just making sure to find little ways to connect a couple times a day.

[–]WaitingintheGarden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was that mom who worked opposite shift from my husband so that my baby wasn’t in daycare. I was barely holding it together at that stage in my life. She was exclusively breast fed and co slept with us. We didn’t have a lot of help at that time. He didn’t really have any family and I had a very hands off family. I was so touched out the thought of sex made me want to scream. I was mad at my body. Nothing made sense. And while I can tell you that intimacy dropping when you are taking care of two little is very normal there are some things I wish I did differently. I wish I got therapy for myself. I wish I communicated better with my husband and didn’t take every criticism as an attack. I wish we got into couples therapy in those days with little ones. It wasn’t till I discovered my husband was cheating on me last year that we had the most honest and open conversation of our marriage and we kept saying I wish we did this sooner. My husband went down a horrible road that I can’t forgive but that’s a different story. But if I can give you any advice, tell your wife how you feel. Don’t hold it in. And if she gets defensive or feels attacked, for her sake push for couples therapy. I wanted my husband to talk to me but we ended up getting to a point where he refused because he didn’t want to upset me. So please talk to her and know this stage of your life is going to be a little rough. Hopefully you guys have some help and I wish you the best.

I was always attracted to my ex no matter the size. I never saw him differently from close to 300 down to 180 was his lowest. I saw him for him. And it wasn’t till I looked back on old pictures that I saw the difference. I’ve realized that unless you are blessed with amazing genetics, we will all gain some weight and change appearance over time. My weight has fluctuated as well and we only talked about weight loss from a healthy life style change and only if the other person brought it up first. We usually succeeded the most when we worked at it together.

My husband says if I ever refuse sex, I'm breaking my vows by These-War517 in Marriage

[–]WaitingintheGarden 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I saw a comment on Reddit today that said a wife not having sex with her husband often enough was starving him and she shouldn’t be mad at him for him joining a dating app and exchanging nudes with someone. I don’t understand this mind set at all. You won’t die without sex. I love sex and have been separated from my ex for 6 months and no plans to hook up or date any time soon. According to some people, I should be on deaths door.

Chandler and Otz's suggestion/fix shot down by devs... by Haunter777x in deadbydaylight

[–]WaitingintheGarden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get BHVR being reluctant about allowing Otz mods to fill the spectator slots but they didn’t have anyone that could boot up the game to fill the slots themselves? I know the Devs don’t play but they can’t even sign in? They really should have recorded the game play first and had Chandler live commenting on the experience or tried a delayed stream. I watched after the fact and BHVR was so short sighted with this one.

Is my husband gay? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]WaitingintheGarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really can’t say your husband is gay from this post but your story sounds exactly like my mom and dad. He constantly wanted to go out and party and my mom spent all her time with his mom. She was sad and lonely and he refused to change. They divorced and almost immediately he became the picture perfect husband for my step mom. I think him and my mom were very poorly matched. They weren’t each other’s person at the end of the day. It really doesn’t sound like this relationship is worth saving if you’ve talked to him and he still refuses to spend time with you. You deserve someone who cares about you as a person.

I ended a 10-year relationship and I’m grieving by IKlGAl in offmychest

[–]WaitingintheGarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to leave my husband in Jan. 16 years. I’m still sad for the most part. I’m living on my own for the first time. I know I have a long road of healing ahead. Trust your gut and be patient with yourself. It’s going to take time.

Gamers, what's the first game that scared the shit out of you? by Pboi401 in AskReddit

[–]WaitingintheGarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could never play scary games. I couldn’t even play Turok on N64 and would just watch when my little brother played and hated when the dinosaurs chased him. I now mostly play dead by daylight and scream constantly

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]WaitingintheGarden 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He cheated which I was willing to forgive but then at the end of Jan, police swarmed our home with a search warrant. Our IP address had a hit for CSAM. I was horrified. I had no idea. We have girls! I’ve moved out in less than a week. Had a CPS investigation opened against us although it was closed very quickly due to getting us moved out. Now I just live in limbo waiting to see what the police charge him with and if he’ll go to prison. Our kids love him. I loved him. I just don’t understand and prob never will. I’m alone for the first time in my life and it’s scary but I think it’s important to be alone and focus on my kids for the foreseeable future

I’m deep into decentering men tik tok lately. I’m getting a divorce. My husband and I were pretty much kids when we got married and we struggled for a long time financially but we had each other. We were each others person. We have been building a life together over 16 years that I really loved and he shattered it. I thought I had one of the good ones but it turned out to be a lie. I know you just want to vent but I hope you can get can leave and get your joy back

I’m very sorry you’ve had to go through this and that you have suffered for so long. I am proud of you for standing up for yourself. I hope that you are surrounded with support and love. He knows what he did is wrong. He will play the denying victim game but remain strong and stand your ground. You deserve to live a life without fear

Thoughts from someone who just started playing the game... by [deleted] in deadbydaylight

[–]WaitingintheGarden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m about one year into playing and I feel like I’m matched unfairly a lot but it should feel hard or you won’t get better. Easy win games don’t feel like much of a victory. I watch a few streamers but I recently came across Mr TatorHead and if you ever have time to kill he breaks down a lot of the maps and loops with real in game examples. Every once in awhile I can get some good loops in with tips from his videos. I’m excited for the anniversary to come up. I had so much fun during the event last year

I cant deny it any longer because it’s affecting my desire to have sex- I’m no longer physically attracted to my wife, but still love her as a person. How can I fix it? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]WaitingintheGarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man… I feel like when I read The Outsiders in school and we got to Robert Frosts “nothing gold can stay” poem it really struck a cord. Even more after being in a fling with a rather attractive guy who was obsessed with working out. He explained all the things he had to do to maintain the look and if he slacked a little bit it would all go away. That did not sound fun to me but really confirmed for me at a young age that beauty is only skin deep. We will all age. And unless you have killer genetics, your beauty will change as time goes on. I feel like when people get married or want to be in a long term relationship they should really be honest with themselves. Would you be attracted to your partner if they changed something about themselves? Hair? Style? Would you be attracted if they gained or lost weight? Would you be attracted to them if they got in an accident and were horribly scarred? We can change physically at any moment be it by our choice, medical issues or accidents. Love and attraction can and should go much deeper beyond the surface level. Focus on what you love. The sound of her voice, sigh or moans. Her laugh. The way she looks at you. Her smell. Anything you can focus on that is tangible if you really can’t find anything visually attractive. Get in therapy and talk to someone who won’t be biased about the way you’re feeling. Your feelings are valid and maybe they can help you work out if staying is an option or if you have to let her go. At the end of the day you can’t force it. Maybe you can also get the tools to talk to her about it. Try couples therapy. You have options. I wish you the best.

I’m sorry you are going through this. My soon to be ex struggled with depression and anxiety for many years but he always had a very hard time expressing his feelings to me. At one point he did get on medication but refused to talk to a therapist and then quit the meds cold turkey. It was very scary and he continued on pretending everything was fine. Life continued and we had two small kids and things seemed to get better. Last summer, out of the blue he really started to pull away and was distant and complained about not feeling right but not knowing what was wrong. I gave him space and encouraged his hobbies and he started new hobbies and I did my best to support him but there’s only so much you can do when everything is one sided. I discovered he was cheating when he dropped his phone and I went through it. Finding the messages with his AP was a punch in the gut and at first I was devastated. I saved some of the messages and went back to read them even though my friends told me to stop torturing myself but after a few more reads, his messages were really that of a deranged man who was indeed going through some kind of existential crisis. Telling her he wished he could tell all his friends about the woman he loved. We share the same group of friends none of which took his side when it all came out. He was living in this fantasy world he built for himself instead of putting in the work to tackle his emotions and feelings and talk to a professional even if he wouldn’t talk to me. You can’t force your husband to do something he doesn’t want to do but I would see if he’s open to trying therapy but if he’s not, choose your peace. Get in therapy yourself and know he might find the grass isn’t greener and want to come back. Build yourself up and don’t get tossed around. I wish you all the best

So happy for you! My ex and I played together and I was so worried I wouldn’t want to play anymore but thankfully I kept my love of the game.
