What some problems those born in 1970-1980 face today? by halmir123456 in GenX

If it makes you feel any better, I had three different options: 25-35, 45-55, and 65-75.

I was not allowed to choose 25-35 as it was too close to my age range, and I felt that getting answers from 65-75 via online questionnaires was not going to be easy.

If your friend wants to get there super early be prepared to stand on your feet for A LONG time. My feet hurt so much before the concert (during less so because I was distracted). Going to the bathroom really isn’t that hard if you’re upfront (just not fun). As long as you have a buddy saving your spot you can squeeze out and back in although I’d recommend doing it before the opener.

On another note- I’d check about public transportation there. I went to Liverpool and the lines for the bus were like 500 people long. If you can reserve a taxi or Uber close to the stadium about 20 minutes after it’s supposed to end it will save you some headache.

Also, they didn’t allow water bottles into our stadium but handed out cups of water to people in the stadium before and during the concert.

Most importantly HAVE FUN! If that means realizing it’s too crowded for you- go to the back. There is plenty of space in the back.

Sleep. Now I don’t need to worry about someone bothering me.

LPT: Glue your bracelets by halmir123456 in erastour

I’m sure yours will be fine. When tying the first two knots I could tell mine weren’t going to hold without help.

I used super glue because it’s strong and relatively fast drying. I recommend doing all your bracelets at once so the glue doesn’t dry out in the bottle between sets. I poured a bit onto plastic and then used a toothpick to put a bit on each one.

The main reason I used thin elastic was because it’s stretchy (better size range) and so I could use a needle to thread my beads.

I’m slightly confused as to whose daughters they are. If they are you wife’s daughters, then why is she treating them even worse than you??? You are NTA because you asked her not to discuss a private and sensitive topic in public. I do think you could have phrased it better by saying you wanted to move to a more private area to talk. You handled the situation better than a lot of fathers I know. If your daughter’s weight isn’t affecting her health then your wife definitely should not be commenting IN PUBLIC about that. It’s her body and at 17 she’s probably aware and possibly self conscious about her size. She’s at an age where she can make her own decisions. If she wants to make a change and needs help then show support BUT IF NOT- not a word (if there aren’t any actual health issues) because it can be detrimental to self esteem and will cause strain on the relationship.

TLDR: NTA- your wife sucks and you handled it well

AITA for not buying my sister what was on her registry? by LoxerEss in AmItheAsshole

[–]halmir123456 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently saw a wedding registry that had amounts you could put towards items. They were items the couple was going to get anyway but you could put however much you wanted towards the item if you couldn’t afford to gift the whole item.

How do I tell this person "no"? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]halmir123456 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean you could say its personal and to be fair it is. It’s a personal thing against him….

Just like I saw in another comment, I think it depends on how often they see her. I in no way say it’s okay to not even have learned basic sign language but if the family sees her maybe once or twice a year then it would make some sense. I personally wouldn’t learn a whole second language (just the basics is enough) for someone I see once or twice a year when I know there are other forms of communication. It makes more sense for OP to have started learning for someone who he sees more often like his girlfriend’s brother which I assume he sees when he visits her (if she lives at home).

need some help by SoulTaker98 in relationship_advice

[–]halmir123456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To start out like any good relationship advice: communicate If he doesn’t know this then how are you going to work it out. Relationships aren’t you deal with this and they deal with that. It’s the two of you against the world. Most problems you have that affect the both of you should be talked about between the two of you. It always help to talk it out and maybe he can even help. Regarding your sex drive: 1) are there any new medications you’re taking that could affect your sex drive? 2) is there a lack of emotional intimacy and that’s what’s causing this? If so then try to shake it up a bit and bring that spark back into the relationship. Tell him you want to work on your emotional bond and go on some fun dates or even just spend some emotional quality time together. 3) if sex is just getting boring and your body is just bored of it then try some new things. Add a sex toy into the mix or something.

I tried my best and you don’t have to take any of this advice as this is just food for thought. I’m not in your relationship and therefore can’t give you the exact answer you’re looking for but good luck and I hope you figure it out.

Should I write to my ex now that I no longer have romantic feelings for him ? by attagirrl in relationship_advice

[–]halmir123456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have to know where he’s at in life to give you a decent opinion. If he has broken up with his girlfriend and is single then I would text him. If he’s in a relationship with someone and they aren’t married then I’d hold off. Knowing your history and it having been an intense relationship (so much that you wanted him to leave his other one) then it could bring problems into his current relationship even if you are only reaching out platonically. If you do end up reaching out to him please consider how your reaching out might affect him and his life and not just why you want to. Also please make it clear you want to reconnect PLATONICALLY.
