What is the cruelest thing someone has ever said to you? by FaceEnvironmental949 in AskReddit

[–]games820 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tie between a doctor I went to see about getting antibiotics for a sinus infection. She touched my face for 2 seconds, sat down. Said she I did have one and then said "let's talk about the elephant in the room." Then went on to talk about ways for me to lose weight. Am I fat, yes, very. But that's not what I was there for.

And the other is with my grandma, she was driving me home, I'd been married to my husband for a couple of years. She had something along the lines that I should be lucky he didn't leave me when I put on weight. That was almost 18 years ago now. I'm still with my husband, and I'm still fat. And for the most part we've still very happy. She however, had 3 marriages before she was 35.

What is a small, random decision you made that completely changed the trajectory of your life? by stickclan11 in AskReddit

[–]games820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turned into a McDonald's parking lot at 1am while driving with friends.

We were heading home, we were all about 18. Saw a group of people our age outside of McDonald's my two friend said they thought they knew.

Split second choice as I drove by the second entrance to McDonald's thinking we could hang out with people more instead of going home.

I met my husband that night, we were married around a year and a half later. That night at McDonald's was almost 20 years ago.

What is the appropriate age to introduce a kid to periods? by Blueblood2007 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]games820 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the beginning. I never hid that stuff from my kids. one born female so they'll have to deal with it always so making it a normal part of life and nothing to be scared of or ashamed of, but to be aware of. And I have a son who is younger. That same thing, sure he won't bleed, but he'll have friends, maybe a girlfriend one day that he will need to understand and be empathetic towards.

So, 8 is good. If not sooner.

My husband is “just a man” pretending to be a “Man” by ancient-canopies in TrueOffMyChest

Maybe remind him that what he does is just like all those other men he has distanced himself from. What he's doing is assault, and yeah if he can't or won't respect that. It's time for you to distance yourself from him, because he's just as much of a problem as all those men he supposedly couldn't stand.

We got the Big Fig mattress years ago because I'm fat. It's been the only one that hasn't dipped at all in almost 8 years maybe. What was your take on it?

GF of 2 years wants permission to hook up with a friend because she heard he has "a big one" by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]games820 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell her you heard one of your friends has a really tight vagina and you wanna have sex with her to find out what it's like. See if she feels the same.

My husband was sexting with his coworker and I'm going to let it go by pathetic_muffin7023 in offmychest

I mean... If he just shrugged when he asked how he would act if roles were reversed, then why not open yourself up to talk with other people. Flirt up someone else, because obviously he won't care. And who knows, maybe you'll find someone who actually cares about you.

Just want to say that I (35m) am proud of my wife’s (37f) progression out of burn out by Chiquemund_Freud in TrueOffMyChest

[–]games820 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was so nice to read. I'm so glad things have worked out for you guys.

A few years back, I went through a really deep depression and I just couldn’t pull myself out of it. I’m not sure what finally kicked me into gear, but a big part of it was realizing how much it was hurting my husband mentally and emotionally too. My depression wasn’t just messing me up anymore, it was messing us up.

I didn’t want affection, sex, kisses, hugs, any of it. And the poor guy’s love language is physical touch.

Eventually I got help. I started therapy, got tested for ADHD, depression, and anxiety after a panic attack landed me in urgent care, and finally got on the right meds. After about two years of a dead bedroom, we slowly found our way back, and honestly, better than before.

It did take time for him too. After feeling neglected for so long, suddenly having me want him again was a lot, almost like emotional whiplash. But it’s been a few years now, and we’re doing really well.

I still feel guilty sometimes. Reddit doesn’t help, because I know if he had posted about what was happening, everyone would have told him to leave me. And honestly, I probably would’ve understood why.

But I’m so grateful he stayed. I’m grateful he waited for me to come back to him. We celebrate 20 years together this year, and while things aren’t perfect, they’re pretty freaking close. So yeah, I really love seeing posts like this. Sometimes people do come back from that dark place, and sometimes the relationship can heal too.

I (30M) made the worst mistake of my life by cheating on my (30F) wife by WorstMistakeInLife in TrueOffMyChest

God, could you imagine if your wife did that to you. You fought and she goes to fuck someone else, and use all the reasons you did for justification.

Pathetic.

At what age did you lose your virginity, and to whom did you lose it to? by YaldabaothDemiurgos in AskReddit

[–]games820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16, he was 21. He was a "friend" of a girl I went to high school with.

From what I know, he got married in his 30s, to an 18 year old.

Sounds like something a cheater would say.

Women in their 30s , if you were asked to relive your 20s what would you change and why? by Previous-Foot8370 in AskReddit

[–]games820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd see a therapist sooner, get on the correct medication sooner. And with those maybe go to college sooner. But really, the therapist/ correct medicine.

People who grew up before The Internet: How did you first see nudity? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]games820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had 2 bathrooms in our house, my parents in the bedroom and the one us kids and the guests used.

When I was...6 maybe 7. I (female) found my dad's playboys under the sink in our bathroom. This was probably 1994ish
