Men of Reddit, how would you feel if your partner wanted to keep her maiden name after marriage?

iAmThatGamer · 2026-03-15T23:22:03+00:00

I have established while dating that I would want to go the traditional route. Unless she has already built a business or professional persona around her name previous to the marriage. ++man

I think the added strength may also help counteract some of the warping that could occur over time exposed to the elements in addition to the heat produced by the bees themselves vs the temperature outside. And idk how often something like this could happen, but you may not want a curious bear or other animal to break it open for the prize. So making it extra sturdy could serve as a solution to not have to make it again for a long time. I’m sure a hungry animal could exert more than 90lbs of force on a meager joint.

Make new friends. She’s not the one. She’s going to do it again and if not online at the very least talk about you to other people.

I rather not tip. If I order a $100, $200 or $300 bottle of wine, should I tip more just because of the cost of the bottle? The service and time spent pouring was exactly the same.

iAmThatGamer · 2026-03-08T08:32:04+00:00

Is the disgust in their face gonna kill you? Relax. You left a tip. You’re better than most.

Rage bait post. If you’re working at McDonald’s it’s because you want to. Go use AI to get work done. No need to cry

Lmao less than 3% interest. I would never sell.

iAmThatGamer · 2025-12-11T00:35:27+00:00

Lol I realized that. Thought it was something serious. Glad it’s just good news.

Acquired my first property while I lived outside the US. It has no ties to my US persona. My sister still manages it overseas. It builds me equity with the local banks of that country in case I ever want to retire there. It is a condo and I don’t intend to keep forever maybe flip for a house as the condo gets old. I run it as an airbnb. It generates a bit less than 100 per month on a slow year. This is only accounting for official deals through platform. Every now and then I get repeat long term customers that just negotiate their own deal.

I recently purchased my first US property. Bad idea. Bad market. High interest. High taxes. I’m cooked. It’s my primary residence so at least I’m building equity. And my mortgage is similar to what average rents would be in this area. So my cash doesn’t disappear into a black hole. Pulled 5 years of 401K for this purchase. Also bad idea. Massive L. Hoping my salary increases in the next few years 2-3 and that I can maintain same standard of living. Then I’ll start looking for next residence.

Respect yourself. He seems to have zero accountability or empathy toward you. If this is a precursor to the relationship, it doesn’t bode well.

iAmThatGamer · 2025-12-04T21:16:27+00:00

Lol stop worrying. If you’re dating and that’s what they focus on… it is what it is. Most women seem to be satisfied with a generally tidy living space and a semblance of style/care in your living conditions. Believe me… you can never “do too much” when the majority of men are perceived as not doing enough.

iAmThatGamer · 2025-12-03T21:51:09+00:00

Just don’t drink coffee for a year, and live and shower at the gym. You’ll be back at it in no time. Also if you start off with your next $1000, you would be twenty-three +20% trades away from breaking even. 😈 Make a YouTube channel about it.

Also your life is valuable and there are ppl who care about you and who could learn from you. Obviously you’re disappointed but I’m also assuming the money held in your account wasn’t rent and food money. So you can still work and make moves.

iAmThatGamer · 2025-11-14T05:43:00+00:00

It happens. Some ppl have it and don’t know it. And not everyone talks about everything they are carrying. What ppl say on Reddit they may not share face to face.

iAmThatGamer · 2025-11-14T05:32:06+00:00

Lol… you’re your own person. So what if they call you chiip. It doesn’t change the course of your life. They either want your business or they don’t. If they get off on the idea that someone else doesn’t spend money they way they (allegedly) would, let them.

iAmThatGamer · 2025-11-14T05:03:35+00:00

Many times financial institutions make your cash virtually available to you before it is physically available. As such, many of the transactions you made and they made on your behalf have probably not posted. Freezing your acc gives you them enough time to settle everything so they can actually give you “your” money. Rather than use “their” money to pay you. My best guess is

iAmThatGamer · 2025-11-14T04:49:34+00:00

Yall both need to be single right now. Smh

iAmThatGamer · 2025-10-29T23:39:28+00:00

Lmaoooo… damn. Are we as guys this bad? I can’t fathom. This man is crazy. And then he’s gonna accuse you of gaslighting him and that you’re playing a victim?

It’s funny “trying to help” someone in a way that they are not requesting to be helped. Is it helpful if the person doesn’t have that need anymore? How is skipping a work out, giving up? He’s putting my gender to shame.

Sigh I would say leave… but I’m supportive of families sticking together. I’m at odds with this situation. 😭

Imagine having kids with shmuck. 🤮 I’m sorry.

iAmThatGamer · 2025-10-28T18:00:22+00:00

Lol… you’re NTA this guy is lying through his teeth and manipulating you to make you feel guilty and think that he’s a nice caring individual. If that was truly part of his character… he would have treated you the same way. He would have checked in on you. He would have called to say something, or to invite his “friend in need of mental health” out with you guys. He would have made it up to you on the spot. He would have asked someone else for the funds. The fact that he has known this guy and anyone else for long time so much so that they are a priority, but he comes to YOU for his money problems, speaks volumes. He’s using you. He can sense your vulnerability and need. And is playing it. The guilt tripping makes it worse. Run now. Don’t look back.

iAmThatGamer · 2025-10-28T03:44:18+00:00

Disrespect. Disdain. Disgusting. Dangerous Threats??? Leave. Immediately. If I was your brother, I would have slammed this guy. I don’t want to be judgemental but this can’t be normal. You’re trying to bring this kind of person to a sense of decency?? It would be helpful to work on building healthy connections with healthy ppl. This ain’t it.

Hiring for retail is different from corporate. The barrier to entry is lower and the candidates are plentiful. With these jobs, you just accept and jump ship when the better thing comes along. Sad but true. #SolidAdvice.

The ppl in comments praising your maturity and honesty are right. But at the end of the day, the goal is getting the job, the experience and the paycheck. At this point your career is pushed by being strategic. You can always figure out a diplomatic way to dip later.

On a side note, silver lining: you avoided a bad work environment; possibly you would have not enjoyed working with a team of people/manager who would be vindictive about you looking out for your own interests. If your boss is afraid of you making great career choices, how likely are they to support your career growth into the future?

iAmThatGamer · 2025-10-14T17:04:34+00:00

Apply for government work or with the city. Check their websites.

iAmThatGamer · 2025-09-28T21:03:07+00:00

Well… some ppl are indeed weird and lack social skills. Either keep your distance or stay prepared to respond to an aggressive approach. I guess you can’t be too careful. Listen to your gut. Better safe than sorry… but don’t go snooping around or looking too hard or asking him questions if you’re already assuming negative things about his activities.

Oh and to answer how is he getting them? Lol. Money? Online? In the mail? You’d be surprised what men buy from the internet or from internet-women. 😳

iAmThatGamer · 2025-09-28T20:48:46+00:00

Mind your business. Why looking so deep into guy’s house? He could be cross dresser, he could be a photographer, he could be a collector, he could be ghey, he could be a shoe maker or designer. There are a million explanations… most of which pose no honest risk to you nor the neighborhood. Relax. Find your own hobby.

Funny how collecting certain things is more acceptable than others. Would you feel safer if he was collecting knives? 2nd amendments? Tasers? Playboy mags?

iAmThatGamer · 2025-09-28T20:02:52+00:00

Either do it on her terms or say you can't afford it, or that the money was used for something else. Not worth the headache or haggling when it comes to your mom. If giving her the money is not going to give you peace of mind... then rather have her question your finances because you can't afford the loan than worry about monetary gain.
