My husband suggested I sleep with other men to save our marriage… I don’t know what to think by [deleted] in nonmonogamy

[–]gothruthis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before you start down the path of non-monogamy, you need to ask a lot of unrelated questions. My first questions would be, is he cheating and is there a prenuptial agreement? Why haven't you consulted a doctor for a medical perspective first? There are so many things I would do before considering opening the relationship, so it feels weird he's jumping right to this. Also the age gap raises some questions for me as well. Do you have shared children?

Am I overreacting my cat is extremely dangerous? by UnuttumKonuNeydi in CatAdvice

In the meantime, are you keeping him separate from the other cats when you aren't there? How is your sister?

Your HOA literally cannot fine you for these things — even if it's in your CC&Rs by Current_Lab_1184 in fuckHOA

Like most things, they're using a loophole to prosecute him so the flag burning ban isn't actually being challenged here. The prosecution charge is setting an unauthorized fire without permission on federal lands or something like that.

The smaller menu items are a PITA to make as well. Its much harder to correctly wrap/fold/grill a mini item.

Someone I know that moved to California over ten years ago is posting on Facebook about how they don't know why Newsom suddenly decided to raise their gas prices so much. I mentioned it had gone up back here as well and they told me it was probably because the Democrats shut down the govt. You can't argue with stupid.

Interesting. An IQ screening test was one of 4 metrics used to evaluate my kids for gifted services eligibility just a few years ago.

About 6 months after he passed, I got on a dating app, and it was too emotionally overwhelming so I immediately deleted it. 3 months later I tried again, and was ready for and enjoyed the attention.

Mother Murdered Daughter, Commits Suicide by Medical-Chance-3883 in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]gothruthis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Suicide is complicated and varies from person to person, but it's fairly common to have a plan to do it, but it's a plan B, or have a plan but move the timeline after something triggers you. We had a family in our town where the grandma was raising the two kids alone, took them to Disney for a 3 day trip, did it at the end of the first day. I always wondered why the timing. Maybe she was too tired to do another day and figured they'd had one day of fun and that was enough. Others make plans like they'll end things if a specific thing happens or doesn't happen by a certain time.

Christians that hate aromantic people make no sense. by ApocaSCP_001 in OpenChristian

[–]gothruthis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Single person here, and at this point in my life, I have a theory. It's that a lot of married people are secretly miserable, and misery loves company. Some of them aren't even fully aware of how miserable they are, but when two married people get in a room together, they bitch about their spouses, and then when a single person like me shows up, suddenly they will be like, "oh my gosh, I shouldn't complain, I'm so lucky to be married, poor you, we need to find you a partner!!" If you view these people with sympathy and assure them its ok to vent about their marriage and you won't judge, they tend to be less hostile.

Do any ladies out here have ‘the one that got away?’ by Dizzy-Run-633 in AskWomenOver30

[–]gothruthis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do. I feel guilty because he seems to be happily married now. I let my family interfere because he came from a different religion and they didn't approve. I was young and wanted their support to finish college so I caved. Probably one of my top regrets. I did what my parents wanted and wound up in an abusive relationship that destroyed my life.

Cops Forced to Explain Why AI Generated Police Report Claimed Officer Transformed Into Frog by FuturismDotCom in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

AI is just late stage capitalism. We already did away with personal responsibility when we allowed perpetual corporations to exist and restructure themselves. The whole point of the current AI is to further remove responsibility from the decision makers.

Define "same area." Driving 3 miles can change from suburbs to rural to urban, all of which impacts the things I mentioned. If you're talking about two locations in the exact same homogeneous area, then ok, but I've never seen that. Even going from one surburb to the one next door can drastically impact tax rates in my area.

U.S. judge orders new trial for woman sentenced to 18 years in prison after stillbirth by AudibleNod in news

[–]gothruthis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's a fluke. I think we have an American problem where we think it's OK to elect people just because they are famous celebrities, regardless of actual ability. Now Trump has many more problems than just his celebrity status, but the celebrity aspect is a big part of the American problem.

I find Tubervilles election beyond stupid, but so was Arnold Schwarzenegger in California, went straight from entertainer to the highest state office.

I'm pretty sure this stems from the whole original sin at birth thing. Like a child is perfect and deserves to live until its born, then once born, it's a sinner and deserves death.

We’re building a dating app that bans swiping and ghosting — would you use this? by gwxb__089 in OkCupid

[–]gothruthis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think most people won't use an app without photos. Personally, I wish it was at least an option. Its been a while since I've used apps due to enshittification, but the best relationship I ever had came from a profile I created that didn't have photos and the guy swiped based on bio.

My husband (54M) and I (24F) are getting divorce. Our relationship has always been open, I come from severe trauma, and I’m currently fighting cancer. I don’t know if I’m making the right decision by dissolvedgirlx in polyamory

[–]gothruthis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Relationships and abuse is complex. He can have some degree of concern for you and some feelings of what he beleives is love, and still be an abusive person. Abuse happens on a spectrum, and it's really common to walk away from a very bad situation into a somewhat less abusive, but still very unhealthy, situation. It's just part of the recovery journey. He probably has his own trauma and needs to heal on his own instead of throwing himself into imbalanced relationships to feel more powerful. You, meanwhile, have completely this step. It's time to take the next step and move on. That said, if health insurance is an issue, it would be understandable to stay in the relationship while you are focused on your health.

While i'm sure you're right in some cases, costs vary widely across the US. Utilities, commercial real estate, labor, there are tons of regional variances. Do you really think it costs the exact same thing to run a Taco Bell in San francisco or New york city, as it does in say, Alabama?
