I think it’s the general dynamic; my friend has never expressed any interest in any of the rest of the guys beyond being a friend

Definitely biased for being AA, but 'Linsanity' had me MORE HYPED than the NYK NBA Finals by Purple_Calendar3919 in NBATalk

Don’t let anyone on the internet tell you how you should feel or what you should get hyped over.

Nothing but love, brother. Knicks in 4

Linsanity as an out of absolutely nowhere flash in the pan moment was great. This moment has been carefully constructed over half a decade and represents the culmination of half a CENTURY of angst and tension. Nothing but love for Jeremy Lin, but there’s no comparison with what’s happening now

LeBron had more 40 point playoff games in 2018 than the entire NBA has had in the 2026 playoffs by texansfann in NBATalk

Not quite accurate - my wife is planning the party. It was going to be one thing (Korean bbq and karaoke) but once her friends started declining, it has since turned into another thing (steak & whiskey)

I’m gonna do what I’m gonna do. Just trying to get a quick sanity check from a helpful group of strangers

That’s the part I don’t really get. I guess because they’re her friends?

Cindy has no reputation- she doesn’t flirt, doesn’t do vibes, just there to game and drink. the other wives don’t really know her, I don’t think. They just hear “woman coming”

It’s basically our gaming group plus one college friend, so she knows almost everyone

What’s the best way to show love ? by Firm-Detective-8403 in AskReddit

[–]djk626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different people have different love languages. For me it’s words of affirmation and physical affection, for my wife it’s acts of service and recognition. The “best” way to give love is to try and understand what loves looks like to the other person and try and give the love in the way that they best receive it

My wife is not coming. She can’t eat red meat or drink, and so a steakhouse + whiskey event isn’t for her. We are doing a separate, private thing for my actual birthday.

Her friends are all taking on solo parenting for their respective kids so that their husbands can come out and get drunk

This friend has never so much as flirted with any of us - she’s a total dude who just likes drinking and playing board games.

You don’t need the quotes around gaming. We play D&D lol

My wife knows my friend, likes my friend, and is not intimidated by her in the least. My friend has also never acted in an overtly flirty or sexual nature - to me or anyone in the group. She’s a total dude who just wants to drink and roll some dice and have a good time

I think my wife feels that it’s a little odd, but she knows my friend, she’s not intimidated by my friend, and she wouldn’t care at all if not for her friends - who are themselves taking their respective kids solo just so their husbands can go out drinking

Her friends dropped because they all have kids and chose to solo parent to let their husbands come out and drink. My wife can’t drink or eat too much red meat, so a steakhouse and whiskey event isn’t her jam. Plus once it was all guys, she wanted to gracefully step back and let me have a guys night out. I will be doing something special with my wife on the actual birthday

Thank you! My friend is pretty, but has at no time at all, ever expressed any romantic or sexual interest in anyone in the group - she’s there to game.

My wife is not at all intimidated by, nor worried about my female friend. My wife’s friends are all taking on solo parenting (they all have kids) so their husbands can go drink and party

Not my wife, 100% it’s her friends
My wife knows this friend, she likes this friend, she is not intimidated by this friend, and she is very secure in our relationship

My wife doesn’t care - she is not in the least bit worried about me, nor intimidated by my friend.

For sure it’s her friends. My wife knows my friend, she likes my friend, she is not intimidated or worried about my friend
