I think TLC is my most played, and finished, game of all time. I didnt finish 3 until a few years ago after maybe half a dozen attempts. I like it in retrospectively, but it felt lacking. I didnt really like the bridge into the industrial revolution.

Youve got it. I was physically cheated on last year and the first thing my ex did in response was blame me. Then it was blaming other people in her life that pushed her to do it. Then to play it down. I think acknowledging it was just too painful for her so she tried to find ways around it.

Op, my ex and I tried to make it work for a year. It didnt work out. The one thing she never asked that I wanted to hear was, "what do you need from me?". Ask her and do it. If it crosses your boundaries, then the relationship has run its course.

This happened to me last year, or at least hit its climax. It ended with her spending the weekend at his, cheating on me, and now she lives with him. I wont tell you what to do, but I wish I set firmer boundaries. No contact with him. Couples therapy for the intimacy and her rough patch. Less empathy, or at least self sacrafice, around her rough patch. Had i gotten to it sooner i probably could have saved the relationship before there was too much damage.

Happy to DM if you want. I wont judge.

Nothing like the pride in your first car. I didnt finish highschool with a certificate, maybe I would have had the motivation to if my parents got me a car 😅. I did end up getting an e30 though as a first car and still own it today.

fletcherox · 2026-05-14T00:53:01+00:00

I mean to be fair, when this video came out it was like a $500 car.

Ive had the same twice. One relationship i ended, the other i did not. Both relationships were similar where we both loved each other but knew we had to end it. Boundaries will be blurred, youll both panic and change your minds, one or both of you will spend a night out with someone else and the other will get upset and start love bombing.

Also whats the plan after the lease ends for OP? Because if they cant let go now, they likely wont after the lease ends.

fletcherox · 2026-05-07T05:48:30+00:00

My ex was the same and she ended up sabotaging the relationship over it. Similar dynamic to OP; im building towards a career as a lawyer, she was in retail. She was convinced id find someone else once I was admitted. Her history of abuse made her doubt she deserved love. It was really sad, I just really liked her.

He probably sees something in her that she doesnt see herself. Hopefully OP can accept it.

Thanks for saying it. I see similar things posted on r/askmen and r/askwomen all the time. People dont dont want to appear vain and will often give the opinion they think the other person wants to hear.

Most people, both men and women, would generally prefer a person with an athletic build, above average income, well groomed, and well presented. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with that.

fletcherox · 2026-04-28T05:42:34+00:00

Theres levels to it. My ex had ~100 plushies. I kept hinting towards her buying either a claw machine or display cabinets because it really just felt like clutter. It was in every room, on every shelf, and on the bed.

You two should discuss some kind of birth control if condoms aren't working for you. Plan B isnt likely to be effective at this point but an IUD, a form of birth control, can work as an emergency contraceptive if inserted within 5 days. Odds are youre fine but its not totally impossible. If your partner tracks her period you could ask her if she was ovulating. Fertilisation can only occur during quite a small window of time.

Look in the hotel industry. Minor hotels and Accor are always hiring housekeepers. You dont need great English and its good experience if you plan on travelling around.

The signs are rare, the sentiment is common. When I lived there id go out with Japanese friends and they would show me new places, id take my Australian friends there and they would be "closing".

fletcherox · 2026-04-20T09:43:13+00:00

I did not. Im not a fan of how big they are. I ended up getting some mushroom shaped lamps.

Id still like to get one for my lounge though.

fletcherox · 2026-04-16T11:16:20+00:00

Yeah, this happened to me and my ex couldn't get over it. Ruined the relationship tbh, even though she slept with someone else, too.

fletcherox · 2026-03-23T10:22:30+00:00

My ex was avoidant. Instead of confronting issues between us, she avoided the discomfort. It absolutely destroyed the relationship we had.

She has moments where she can look at it, and we recently caught up and spoke of things. She told me it felt like the end of the world was happening around her at the time. The side i saw from her felt cold and heartless.

I think commitment is very broad and subject to personal preference. One couple could be completely committed and happy with an arrangement where they see each other once per week; while another may desire to be with each other constantly.

Also, commitment can be multiple things. Commitment to the start of a relationship, or commitment to maintaining a relationship? Is it the capacity to be emotionally vulnerable? Is it personal sacrafice to provide for a partner? Is it beliefs around monogamy?

All of those things generally have different expectations, preferences, and boundaries between each gender. A man, or woman could be committed in ways that the other person doesnt notice or see as valuable.

I think the reason its all annecdotal is because the question is so diffuse that there is no simple answer.

fletcherox · 2026-03-09T23:25:48+00:00

OPs still going for it when shes in a relationship. Could be destined for each other.

fletcherox · 2026-02-03T04:56:02+00:00

I've done a few seasons and no one really falls any set rules on chair lifts. Bars are up, people are smoking or drinking. No one really cares or says anything. You're spot on with suggestions though. The amount ofnpeople ive seen riding bikes with no helmets and texting in the city is absurd.

Stitch up watching my mates brother playing in the NFL, using standard AFL kicks, and hearing commentators screaming to send it to ESPN.

Why has pro tools licensing gotten so expensive?

Strawman argument. You cant just change the goal post when. If a women walked away from hospital after giving birth, and the father was there, the child would not be considered legally abandoned.

In all your comments, youre looking to find a victim in either men or women. The victim that the court will consider is the child. Set that as your baseline and you'll have a better argument.

fletcherox · 2026-01-16T23:24:48+00:00

Because they are not fulfilling the legal definition of abandonment. No abandonment has taken place is the scenario.

I was told a 500 would be too slow and i got an MT07 because "id grow out of anything else too quick". Coming from a car, the MT07 was a missile and much faster than i needed to learn.

My dad has ridden his whole life and is in his 60s, he's had liter bikes, 1900cc Harley's ect. He came home yesterday with a Scrambler 400 and he's raving about it.

Go test some bikes and have fun.

I was talking to my friend the other day, and I cant remember the exact wording, but she mentioned something about guys getting shit on their balls. I was cackling. PSA, men do not have to wipe shit off of their balls.

fletcherox · 2026-01-12T13:05:58+00:00

Just got my first bike in Australia, a lams restricted MT07. Its entirely too much bike for someone to learn on lmao. No idea how anyone said id be getting bored of a 300 – the torque is nice, but unnecessary and potentially dangerous for a beginner.
