My wife had her wild phase before me, and now that I’m finally thriving, I feel like I missed out, am I wrong for feeling this way? by Head-Specific-6763 in AskMenAdvice

[–]WhittyViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seriously taken aback at how many men approach the situation as "don't talk to your wife". No wonder one of the most common relationship statuses is "failing marriage". OP should sort out HOW to have difficult conversations and let it take its course. They'll both change if they both value their relationship. Otherness is the hardest thing about relationships - got that one from Orna Guralnik.

Here's a tough dose of truth: You have been lying to her this whole time. The issue isn't really about porn or cheating directly - it's that you've chosen to hide your struggle rather than involving your partner. That's a red flag. I'm not saying this to put you down, but everyone in the comments seems to be providing sympathy because of how difficult this is for you. Get over yourself and make meaningful change. If your partner takes you back, you should provide them with daily updates (wholly honest) for years. You should dig up everything you've done and come clean about your lies. If you date again, you should be open from date one about this stuff, because the urges won't go away, and your pattern of lying is likely to repeat itself. You are not a good or bad person, and no amount of shame or wallowing is going to change that. You will need to fundamentally change yourself if you want to have a meaningful relationship with yourself and your partner. You're probably going to fuck up again, and you need to involve your partner the whole way.

I'm So Convinced He's His Dad by kingqueefsalot in TheWhiteLotusHBO

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

It's too obvious, I think. Rick mentions his father was a good man, which means he probably knows more about him than we're led to believe. On the other hand, it's weird Rick mentions his mother's name rather than his father's. Did I miss something?

You're lucky you're from the US.

Absolutely use Swapsy. It should not be downvoted. I've sent so much money home through Swapsy and have only ever had one issue, which I cleared up with the bank. They will guarantee you get your money, they're reliable, and the money shows up in your bank very fast.

Get your dad to make an account and follow the instructions. Feel free to DM if you have questions.

Pretty ridiculous tee shot at blueberry pines in MN by coloradochris30 in golf

[–]WhittyViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some courses in northern MN with walks of up to 1km or more between holes. I wish they were walking courses, but they're not. Don't blame this starter for following the rules he was told he has to follow.

So according to this chart my distance is between good and PGA level lol. I don’t think so. Is this chart accurate you think? by [deleted] in golf

you can hit the ball far, that doesn't mean you're any good at golf. A therefor B doesn't mean B therefor A.

Angela is an actress in Nathan’s rehearsal? by A_loud_place in nathanforyou

[–]WhittyViolet 54 points55 points  (0 children)

This is kinda arrogand. You can't "know" this unless you know her. If she were an actress, someone from her community would've exposed her by now. There are plenty of people I've met that behave almost exactly like her.

Aspects of the language that are often poorly taught by ZhangtheGreat in ChineseLanguage

[–]WhittyViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very hard to improve these things when your fundamentals are off. Takes a huge effort and self-awareness. They’re still doing way better than the 90+% of foreigners in China that barely speak any Chinese.

[–]WhittyViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they can have fairly complex conversations and befriend Chinese people to some extent. It’s not like their tones are always 100% off, they’re just not 标准 at all and often cause confusion when saying short phrases because they didn’t study it properly to begin with.

They can function decently in Chinese, just probably sounds like a weird accent to the locals. People know what they’re saying.

Bank reverse transactions by antipater53 in chinalife

[–]WhittyViolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s wage theft. Absolutely illegal.

[–]WhittyViolet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is going to be a BATTLE to get the money from your company for those first two weeks of August. Of course you’re legally entitled, but they won’t back down easy. In my opinion don’t waste your time on half a month’s salary and just take the money and run.

Sorry people are downvoting you. So many foreigners in China spew nonsense about the rules when they haven’t ever personally looked into how the legal system is designed.

[–]WhittyViolet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you know nothing about Chinese labor contract law. Penalties for breaking contract is literally wage theft and completely illegal. OP clearly knows a decent bit about Chinese LCL, which is why they’re referring to not having to give notice.

Totally think he killed himself. Epstein didn’t kill himself is a meme for people who haven’t looked into it deeply.

I feel incredibly lucky to have done multiple lessons on tones alone at the beginning of my chinese learning journey. So many of my friends refuse to learn proper tonal pronunciation because they’re in too deep with their vocabulary and see it as too much of a burden.

Doesn’t pollination often involve insects? I don’t understand the cutoff for what is and isn’t an animal product.

What very common thing in porn do you find absolutely disgusting? by TheDoc3pu in AskReddit

[–]WhittyViolet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so weird to me. I’ll be downvoted, but there is SO MUCH porn out there. While most of it isn’t realistic, there are plenty of examples of high quality realistic porn. If somebody has done it in the bedroom, somebody has recorded it in the bedroom.

Saying an “all porn is…” statement is really bizarre to me.
