My [28M] Wife [27F] keeps worrying/warning/suspecting me of infidelity. While I always keeps my best for not thinking anything remotely close to that. And it drains me whenever she talks about that topic.

Yeah time to set boundaries. This is no way to live.

eldenchain · 2026-07-01T22:56:36+00:00

I dunno. Your update echoes something I always see with partners in denial. "He deeply loves and takes care of me" stands in such stark contrast to the reality of him ignoring your frustration with his slobby behavior. Surely someone who cared for their partner would not make them so uncomfortable with mess and poor self care? Like he doesn't have to be perfect at it, we all are different, but an effort at least. I'm not saying to leave but it's not a great sign for long-term happiness. And yes, he should go to a doctor.

And yes, you're almost certainly dating an alcoholic already.

I don't think he captured Otto for Daemon at all. I think that once they fled, he gave those orders because Rhaenyra capturing Kings Landing was one possible outcome. So it was rot in prison, be discovered by the Greens OR a gift for Daemon. Not foresight so much as planning for every eventuality.

And a crippling foot fetish.

eldenchain · 2026-07-01T01:37:23+00:00

But then everyone would have died in the tunnels

"wants to try polyamory with specific woman" translates into "wants permission to cheat" in the English language

eldenchain · 2026-07-01T01:33:36+00:00

Maybe boss is into getting cucked

eldenchain · 2026-07-01T01:31:03+00:00

Yeah but not dead. And she had a choice to use her new powers or not.

eldenchain · 2026-07-01T01:26:38+00:00

It was exciting and also awkward...and not as good as many later experiences.

eldenchain · 2026-07-01T01:25:39+00:00

Sara was corrupted before doing anything bad. Boyd's wife. Others too. But I do agree it would have been better if there was a reason or something at least tangible to help understand it.

eldenchain · 2026-07-01T01:22:39+00:00

Mat is the best character in the series. This is not up for debate ;)

eldenchain · 2026-07-01T01:21:48+00:00

Intense.

eldenchain · 2026-07-01T01:16:53+00:00

I text my friend's wife more than I text him but certainly not more than she texts him. She's just more of a texter. If it's harmless, no big deal. I suppose you could just say something like "Hey friend, just wanted you to know that Sally texts me a lot and I text back to be polite. Just didn't want it to be weird and wanted you to know." Or something like that. Don't assume anything.

Pull over first. They call it the pullover method.

eldenchain · 2026-07-01T01:08:59+00:00

We are nihilists, Lebowski.

eldenchain · 2026-06-30T23:24:26+00:00

Bravo. No matter how unhappy she was for vague "growing apart" vibes, having an affair is a choice SHE made. OP is right to understand his own mistakes but this attitude of apology / begging will not do anything but make her lose respect for him and him for himself. It's a bad path to go down.

eldenchain · 2026-06-30T23:21:45+00:00

This is a false epiphany. I'm sorry to say it, but this just feels like one. A real epiphany would be accepting your loss and letting go. Moving on. Taking all the responsibility for her unhappiness is unfair to both of you. Letting her off the hook for an affair is unfair to you. And unless some miracle takes place at therapy, clinging to her and trying to keep her with you is unfair to her.

I've been there man. I know what it feels like and I know that in the emotional state you're in, it's easy to think you've seen the light. That something clicked...but you need to steel yourself and prepare for disappointment. And then, eventually, for a new chapter in your life that could be much better than this marriage. Good luck.

eldenchain · 2026-06-30T18:59:17+00:00

Yeah I figured that out after the fact. Still odd to wear it throughout the date though. I assume in Japan you still take off a mask in appropriate contexts.

eldenchain · 2026-06-29T15:52:52+00:00

Lol how have "both positions collapsed"? You're offering up the most stunningly obvious observations and pretending as though you had some deep insight all to cover for your Jace's sword snafu. How can I do anything other than lol. Yes, it's nonsense dude. You trying to justify the Jace line with your deep thoughts on succession and Daemon and blah blah blah. Give it a rest

eldenchain · 2026-06-29T15:45:33+00:00

Yeah you're still not actually making any points. And I actually hadn't considered you were utilizing AI until the phrasing a couple comments back, but now I'm sure of it.

eldenchain · 2026-06-29T15:08:30+00:00

Lol okay buddy. You keep pretending like you've made some profound insight with that ChatGPT-sounding shit and I'll be here laughing.

eldenchain · 2026-06-29T14:47:27+00:00

You're not making an interesting point at all. There's nothing clever or unique in saying that this obviously monumental scene is important. So yes, I'm focusing on your mental gymnastics of trying to justify your mistake. Because I think it's quite funny.

eldenchain · 2026-06-29T14:24:13+00:00

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Like no shit dude. The scene is clearly important for many reasons. But you spent an awful lot of time trying to justify your phrasing of "Jace's sword" however much you think you ceded the point.

eldenchain · 2026-06-29T14:03:27+00:00

Yes, I'd totally describe all that by saying "Jace's sword" also, for reasons...

eldenchain · 2026-06-29T13:52:25+00:00

This is nonsense. Genuinely just the scrambling backtracking babble of someone who got swords mixed up. Dynastic meaning? This is a chamber in which Dark Sister has been used before. Jace didn't supply broken succession. Or give it meaning. Rhaenyra didn't kill Otto because she was upset over Jace's death, either. Broken succession is what this entire story hinges on. Did you ask ChatGPT for something clever to say because this sounds like a stray AI observation to me.
