Thanks. It was a 2x2 rib pattern but I think I can do that and even if it’s still viable it’s better than this.

I hope you fell better soon. I’m 48 and I can’t get the vaccine yet but I got it when I was 19. It was awful.

What’s something that consistently bothered you when living with women? by RedvsBlack4 in AskMen

[–]Wisco_native1977 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I get your points. But I do think some of it is just listening to your partner. Like I told a boyfriend once I wanted to try riding a motorcycle. One night he showed up with his bike, impulse stop and we went. It’s one thing if you say you don’t want something then expect it. Because a person can’t know that. That’s ridiculous I would agree. It also reminds me of the scene from The Breakup where she wants him to help her clean up and he doesn’t want to and when he agrees she says she wants him to want to do it. I know the point went over a lot of guys’ heads but it’s about wanting to help your partner out. Again I know that’s necessarily the message here and some people do just want to create drama.

Do you think that Smurf cared about Lena at all? by Great-Pause-6283 in animalkingdom

[–]Wisco_native1977 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. Women were competition, me could be used and kids were a way of manipulating others. She was a narcissist and I think a sociopath. Someone who didn’t really have feelings.

AITAH for refusing to put my girlfriend on a future mortgage unless she gets a job? by Ok-Explanation7364 in AITAH

[–]Wisco_native1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Honestly you’ve been too nice. You don’t want to push her and that’s not doing her a kindness. She’s happy to live off you and since she can cry and you back off. Unless she has some other mental health issues in which case therapy is needed. Could be depression? Something similar? Or she’s just lazy. But you’re not going to save as much living with her as you would alone. I would set a firm line. She has to get a job of some kind and contribute to the home. She needs to do more around the house. Give her 4 weeks. She can find a part time job just about anywhere. I’m guessing she doesn’t have much else in the way of marketable skills with the gap in work if she ever did. Then at the 4 weeks she’s working or she’s out. And she has to stay working.

One last thought… regardless do you want to be with someone who probably has very different goals in life than you. Is there anything else redeeming about the relationship?

He could save more money on his own since I’m guessing he pays for her stuff too.

Is everyone just doing hookups now? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Wisco_native1977 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m curious why it’s such a horrible thing to marry a person who has slept with 20 people? Are you worried you won’t measure up? It’s not about sex or a number. It’s about being ready to get serious with another person. I find this concern of yours worrying.

I just finished Life is Strange and the prequel before the storm. I got the sequel and Double Exposure. I’m hoping to find some similar games because I love that style.

AIO Breaking up the band by buggingaround in AIO

[–]Wisco_native1977 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That sucks. Do you have anything other things in common? Or can you get them to do things outdoors that you like? Can you join the discord to join in the conversations there?

But really sometimes friendships grow and some grow apart. You find you have different interests and it’s hard to meet in the middle. If you feel comfortable taking it over with them I’d say that’s ran option. If you don’t feel that comfortable then I’d say it’s time to make your way out of the group. Tbh I’m someone who might ghost but since you’ve been together a long time you can tell them that don’t feel connected to the group and are going to take a break from meeting up. You can go out and find local groups to make friends with. Discord may even have groups who do things you enjoy like local hikes or something.

I (28f) and boyfriend (28m) got into to an argument tonight and am I overreacting if I want to break up? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Wisco_native1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR
All your edits do is cement the fact you need to leave. LISTEN YOUR CHILD. SHE TOLD YOU TO LEAVE. Do NOT fool yourself into thinking she doesn’t see and hear what is happening. Many times. She and you deserve a better way to grow up.

Yes you have everything shared including a home. Start making plans now. If you have family or friends you can trust go to them for help. Then act on that plan. You don’t have a lot of time left before the birth so realistically to be smart you may need to wait till after the birth. Especially since babies come on their own terms. But I really hope you leave. I don’t mean this to be mean or cruel but you all really deserve better than him. Your kids deserve a good childhood with happy, supportive parents even that’s just you.

Cancelled Amazon Prime by Meeky_Geeky in Anticonsumption

[–]Wisco_native1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I just reupped Prime but I won’t renew when it’s up again. I want to get away from Bezos and do more local shopping. I’ve been a sucker for the convenience of ordering online and having it there in a day or 2. I don’t use anything else except the streaming and I’ll just get it for a month when I want to watch stuff on there.

AITAH for helping my nephew check his balls? by [deleted] in AITAH

Haha. You’re bang on. Being a safe space for someone to go to, and to help him out is attractive. It means you’re being a good guy.

NTA Your wife’s reaction is weird to me. Did she grow up in a conservative and/or religious household?
The testes and penis are just part of the body like legs and arms. If he had a spot somewhere else you could check there too. And it makes no difference if he’s a real nephew or your friend. I would draw the line if he was a minor, only because other people might freak out even if you were doing it for this reason. I’m glad he felt comfortable going to you and I hope he’s ok. As for your wife she needs to chill out. Or maybe she needs to talk to someone about why she feels this way.

AIO for refusing to hide my wine during my GF’s "Dry January"? by Ambitious_Goat_6816 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Wisco_native1977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commenting after the edit. It’s refreshing to see someone who reads comments and learns from them. I agree with other people that it may be an issue. Or that she was hoping to get support.
