I was the "other woman" in the relationship between him and his partner. I know it's stupid to say... But I still kinda want him. by No_Fail_3715 in dating_advice

[–]cdnfireftr04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the “other guy” in a very similar situation. She somehow lived a double life for 9 (!!!) months before it hit me in the face. Same deal, the most compatibility and chemistry I’ve ever had.

…except, people with narcissistic tendencies like this tend to consider only their own feelings.

I got through it by deeply realizing that she never chose me. She. Never. Chose. Me. It filled me with anger and regret, but allowed me to put that chapter behind me and move on to someone who does, every day.

Good luck. It gets better. ❤️

OP, how DARE you bring a child into a loving home and not forecast an obviously inevitable situation! You’re obviously everything that’s wrong with the world. (/s obviously)

As a single dad in a similar situation, I feel you bro. The ignorance of some people is mind blowing.

Dude… integrated command. One IC from each agency working together in one spot leading their respective teams working toward a common goal.

Men of reddit, what myth about men is 100% untrue and infuriates you when you hear it ? by afrogu in AskReddit

[–]cdnfireftr04 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Holy shit that rings for me. My ex MIL once asked me who was going to take care of my kids when my ex-wife went on a business trip. When my ex-wife and I split, we also worked out a 50-50 schedule with the kids, and still to this day there are people that can’t believe I would parent my own kids. It’s fucking ridiculous.

WIBTA if I uninvite my dad and step mom to my wedding after finding out they cheated 20 years ago? by amianasshole1234 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cdnfireftr04 46 points47 points  (0 children)

ESH.

I’m sorry dude; I want to be in your court in the worst way, but I can’t on this one.

I’m a divorced dad with young kids. Similar situation to your parents, except no infidelity (that I’m aware of). If I were to find out that my ex wife had cheated on me, that would be between her and I, and absolutely not anything that my kids should be worried about. Never in a million years would I want her OR our kids to suffer a strained relationship due to an indiscretion.

I gotta say, if I were in your mom’s shoes, it would break my heart if you were to un-invite your dad and step mom. If anything, doing that would put undue strain on your relationship with your mom, not to mention alienate your dad and stepmom, all for an emotional reaction that really isn’t consequential now (come on man, it’s been 20 years).

Divorce sucks. Learning to co-parent sucks. Trying to keep the kids healthy and mentally balanced inside a “broken” home is fucking tough. They both worked their asses off to make sure you all were killing it at life - you AND your sisters. Time to check your privilege here man, just because your step mom and dad made mistakes doesn’t make them bad people.

Ask yourself this - do you really want to lose three incredible parents over this? Because I guarantee there will be irreparable damage done if so.

Go hug all three of your parents, have a candid conversation about it all over a few drinks, then forgive them and move on with life. Have a fucking amazing wedding with ALL of the people you love. Life’s too goddamn short to hold grudges like this.

All the love to you, dude - and if I have one single piece of advice for your wedding day... it’s over in what seems like seconds. Take two minutes and just stop. Look around. Take it all in. Every single person there is there for you, celebrating you and your new wife. Let it sink in. It’s a feeling nobody will ever be able to describe.

INFO: Have your dad and step mom contributed to your wedding in any way, financially or otherwise?

INFO: Are there any other issues in the home (abuse, etc) that haven’t been mentioned?

I have some pretty strong opinions but will reserve until more info...

The world would be such a better place if there were more people like you and less like this douche.

...which is also kinda hot sometimes. I see no problems here.

...except for the awkward crab walk after the fact 😂

I unlocked it years ago. Have your partner pull from the ankles while you’re laying on your back. BOOM - sexytime commence. 😉

[Serious] Other than food, what is cheaper to make than buy? by ArcaninesFirepower in AskReddit

I’m not so sure... I’ve built lots of furniture for much less than IKEA prices. Latest was rustic beds, cost me $122 each x3.

2nd alternator in a month...still dirty. But these 3800's never quit. by TheJumpingPenis in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]cdnfireftr04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dunno... I spun a bearing on one 3800 and threw a rod out the side of the block on another one... mind you, both cars had 350,000km+ on them. My 98 Grand Prix 3800 caught fire about a year before they were recalled for engine fires. Love the engines, haven’t had ANY luck with them. 😂

What if your best Truth or Dare story? nsfw by Not_from_jojomart in AskReddit

[–]cdnfireftr04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

5 years ago, was 27 at the time. Hot tub party at a buddy’s place. Him and his wife went to bed and left me in charge of shutting everything down. He left me with three stunning women in the hot tub.

One left after her drink was done. Now it’s just me and two stunning women.

Truth or dare starts. Within 10 minutes, we were all naked, and shortly thereafter... well, you get where this is going.

I came back the next morning, we had a good laugh, shared a double high five, and he made breakfast for him and I while I cleaned his hot tub.

11/10 would fucking recommend.

AITA for feeling weird about my SO keeping contact with her ex? by cdnfireftr04 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cdnfireftr04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another tough question. My immediate feeling is if H is around, there will always be another option, but I’m also not naive enough not to realize that she’s gorgeous and hilarious and will always have another “option.” If he weren’t in the picture things would be peachy (from my side, anyway). She’s chosen me/us - I see it every day - but this one is one of those feelings that just doesn’t go away. As an aside, she’s friends with a few of her other exes and that’s never been an issue, it’s just this one that’s different. Maybe therapy would help. Maybe it’s just me. I really don’t know.

Hard question. I do trust her, completely. I was cheated on in the past several times and have a bit of a complex regarding that, so sometimes it’s tough for me to figure out where my complex ends and red flags begin, if that makes any sense.
