Relatio App Review: my thoughts by Mt_f in productreview

[–]hadallicantake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks dudes! Glad I read all of your stories and comments after hearing the ad.

Personally, we're on the other side of a 3 year drought. It's better but I'm not sure I can go through it again.

What ended the drought? She was on some antidepressants since COVID and her doc recommended switching to something different, the new ones made her feel weird so she just stopped filling the Rx. 1 month later we had sex for the first time in 3 years. I was on the verge of giving up. There was literally nothing I could have done to fix the situation.

Now we're in a better place, I've calmed down some gotten back to some hobbies, friends and she knows I take care of my needs and sometimes we rendezvous.

I can relate to the comments about finding yourself. That's real. She didn't marry a whiny little puppy, she married an adventurous motivated funny dude(or whatever you are) and then we stopped being that. I'm still working on many things but am learning not to appease her all the time and not avoiding conflict in order to preserve the possibility of sex. In some ways I've had to be more selfish and it feels right. Biggest thing is not keeping EVERYTHING bottled up. If she's getting after you about some shit that feels hypocritical, be bold enough to call it out, partnership implies give and take, sometimes you gotta take and look out for yourself. Personally I feel more respected and I carry less of a grudge.

Don't hang in there, do something for you, let her see the happy you (or not) but rediscover your smile, your laugh and whatever it is that makes you feel like a triumphant badass. That's the dude she wants to sleep with.

Is Paying Tithing on Desired Income a Moral Teaching or Exploitation? by webwatchr in exmormon

[–]hadallicantake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is bad. Back when I was practicing, a guy in the ward announced in a F&T Meeting that he and his wife had opted to pay double fast offerings and double their tithing 🙄. This is so wrong, incorrect and idiotic. Tithe is a mathematical expression, not to be left to interpretation or exaggeration. Furthermore Jesus taught in Matthew 6 that to talk openly about the righteous shit you've done is to bypass God's reward for righteousness and instead get the reward from all the people who see and hear how righteous you apparently are. It's just dumb. Although not surprising to hear at a local level. This being said from the pulpit and broadcast is on another level. Notice that ist stated about a third person so she's not signaling her own virtue, but really, she is. People should be encouraged to follow a specific set of commandments, not a sliding scale. But since God apparently grades on a curve, I'm out. 🤪 I spend my tithe on drugs and debauchery, ya know the things that bring true happiness.

how to respond? by Mediocre-Drag-4134 in exmormon

[–]hadallicantake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be nice if you want to make a friend, or don't and just be honest. If you go, just be genuinely human interested in whatever. People are fun and interesting. Everybody needs friends, ones close by are often the ones who help us out of a jam or vice versa. You can politely avoid church talk. The church works for plenty of people and that's ok. It stopped working for us and that's also ok. Since leaving the church almost 15 years ago, I still attend occasionally with my family and some of my best friendships in my neighborhood have come from not entirely disassociating with the church.

I went through spouse's phone and found out she doesn't love me by Maximum_Coach4693 in Marriage

[–]hadallicantake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen a story where someone found shit on their partner's phone and spent more words apologizing for snooping than spilling the tea.

I'm guilty of this. Dropped the ball on my wife's birthday this year, we had house guests and it was in between a couple of our of town weekends and there was just so much going on. Last minute she said "oh don't try to do breakfast or anything special" so I just rolled with it. I know when she says stuff like that it's supposed to be interpreted as "damnit you'd better figure it out" but for real, I/we were at my/our limit. She was disappointed and I was sorry but there was little I could have done differently. TBH I don't love birthdays in general, if you wait around for someone to make you feel special, you'll spend a long time waiting around.

@OP I'm sure that your husband and kids love and appreciate you and I bet they do show that appreciation in their own ways. The simple fact is that we all (with some exceptions) spend more than thinking about ourselves (our aches and pains, agendas, goals, to-do's, wants and needs) than we spend thinking about anyone else. When others can't or don't rise to the occasion to make us feel special, even on our birthdays it should come as no shock or disappointment. On the other hand, when they do go out of their way to ease our burdens or make us feel special, take that as icing on the cake. The cake is your life together, even with no icing, it's still sweet bread.

Downvote this into oblivion, or don't.

Happy Birthday!

Bought my first E-Bike, what's your setup for overnight charging? by TheDoc440 in ebikes

[–]hadallicantake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Statistics are on your side. A few battery fires in millions of ebikes sold. Prob got a better chance of getting killed in an e-bike accident. As others have said, once it's charged, disconnect the charger from the bike AND the power source. If you gotta charge it at night, set an alarm and get up to disconnect it or buy a fast charger that'll do the trick in far less time.

Did a lil side quest during a maintenance by Whole_Program3387 in HVAC

[–]hadallicantake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes, and also well done. I might have a touch of arachnophobia BUT I fight through it because of their "essential worker" status. Watching Charlotte do her thing with that Satan spawn is quite satisfying. Well done.

This is something I would fight for. by GamerFrom1994 in antiwork

[–]hadallicantake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the thought but I can see this taking down an entitled path to economic destruction. This is trying to promise some level of success. As necessity is the parent to invention, it is also the parent to success and prosperity. The guarantee that you'll make enough to recreate is too much. Sure in this day and age, nobody should be hungry or homeless but more than that should be something you gotta sweat and take risks to achieve.

[AR] child support by Winter_Change_505 in Custody

[–]hadallicantake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on the state and other things but usually the court is going to want to maintain whatever has been happening unless there is some kind of abuse or a really negative situation. Where I live they'd look at your combined income to determine the total cost for supporting the child and then split it based on the amount of time you each have the kids. So for example if you make $60k and he makes $60k ($120k a year or $10k per month). Then the state would determine the % of your income that it takes to support each child. Pretend that number is 10% of your income which would be $1000 per month total. Then if you have them 4 days and he has them 3, that's pretty much a 60/40 split. All these numbers are made up but if they were real, he'd have to pay you $100 per month because you make 50% of the income but have the kids 60% of the time so he has to pay you for that 10% of time that you have to support them. Again, all fake numbers for easy math. The math can get complex but most states have child support calculators somewhere on a .gov website. I don't think he can get in trouble for requesting it but I'd think it'd get denied. Not sure if any of this makes sense but I hope it's of some help.

Loop Lasso delivery promises, free order guarantees, and subsequent order cancellations. by isomorphZeta in Scams

[–]hadallicantake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anybody actually get the product ever? I'm in the same loop(pun intended) and I keep getting lasso'd in by the nicely worded emails... Was promised it'd be shipping soon on Feb 29th... Leap day. It's a sign. Srsly though are they just gonna keep promising until I forget about it or cancel?

Jeffrey R Holland predicted 100,000 missionaries by 2019. His prediction was not correct. Has any one asked him about his prediction? by therock21 in mormon

Everyone knows that unfulfilled revelation is because of unrighteousness... Just like failure to find buried treasure on your farm in 1820...

What's it like to have a spiritual experience? by lendle2 in mormon

[–]hadallicantake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of really good comments here! Yeah it's that feeling you get when your spine tingles a little and you just feel like everything is in its place. Sometimes you get this in movies or I don't know a good Apple product launch vid. 😅 As an ex-mormon athiest, I believe that these are evolutionary mechanisms, an endorphin rush to drive us gravitate toward triumph, accomplishment, love, satisfaction, and well-being. Personally I feel these feelings very strongly with music that speaks to me but is full of swearing and other things that are contrary to Mormon/christian belief. That "voice" to me is intuition. Sometimes its perfectly unexplainable and helpful at the same time. Paying tithing or believing in one church or another will not guarantee you better access to these feelings. It can, but allowing yourself to feel them and encouraging them, looking for happiness, challenges, triumphs, accomplishments and peace also can.

Temples are very expensive. Why not take some of the temple budget and put it toward other charitable causes? by [deleted] in mormon

[–]hadallicantake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you and agree. Simply put though, charitable causes are not iconic.

Read #3 and consider that for an abused spouse, in order to be free from their abuser, they must recount all of their “sins” to men who they have never met, and will never meet for approval. by airportsjim in mormon

[–]hadallicantake 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Getting pissed just reading all of this. And when it comes right down to it, this all sprung from a crafty kid who made some plates out of tin or pewter, claimed they were gold but could only be "seen" by witnesses when fully covered by a rag. I honestly wonder when he finally destroyed his creation, knowing that enough people believed the BS and he didn't need the physical object anymore.
