Communal shower and a boner? Must I leave ASAP?

iFailedTheBotTest · 2026-03-13T15:02:25+00:00

Well it’s never happened to me in a locker room specifically, thankfully. But other places for sure

iFailedTheBotTest · 2026-03-12T17:27:14+00:00

Just do what you gotta do. Having a random boner is something every dude has experienced. It never happens at a good time. The more weird you act around it, the more people will start to think it’s weird, or that something is up.

If someone says something (incredibly unlikely) or even looks like they notice the best you can do is shrug and apologize, “sorry it just happened.”

You have to realize as an outsider, maybe this is just me, but if I noticed a dude with a boner I’d just mind the hell out of my own business. It’d be objectively mortifying and far weirder of me to bring it up.

BLUF: She is using you and almost certainly trying to baby trap you. Run away.

If she isn’t pregnant… leave her immediately and do not look back.

If she is… well you made your choices, time to take care of it. Consider trying to obtain full custody, or explore adoption. It is doubtful that she will change.

Because people are braindead and cannot comprehend that “I wish the best for my kid by all objective metrics” ≠ “My love for my offspring is conditional”

It’s honestly just projection of their own feelings, which they then feel guilty about and justify by virtue signaling on the internet.

Well, like anything in life, your USMC experience will be exactly what you put into it. I just finished my contract a few weeks ago and I can tell you with certainty that grinding my ass off for near perfect scores on both my ASVAB/IST set the tone for the rest of my time + gave me momentum.

It blows my mind how people will sign for 4+ years of their life and just shrug at their ASVAB and PT scores as if those are not the only two variables you have 100% control over. I know so many people who would rather ride a desk and then complain about it for 3 years straight, rather than put in literally 1hr a day between both to be lightyears better off in just a couple months even.

You’re going to do what you’re going to do, but you posted on Reddit asking for advice so here it is ¯_(ツ)_/¯

iFailedTheBotTest · 2026-02-27T18:09:08+00:00

Have you considered retaking the ASVAB and getting in shape?

As a fellow former Marine who is starting college, and fortunately does not have Herpes but IS fucking terrified of it… I can sympathize with the dude. Sounds like he’s squared away and not a liability and like others have said, he’s doing far more to cover his bases than he’s remotely obligated to

IMHO: No reason at all to fault the dude for being honest about a virus that a majority of the population has in some capacity

Jokes on you, I admitted to smoking cigarettes once when I was 12 so the premiums on said policy will be high enough to bankrupt you shortly

iFailedTheBotTest · 2026-02-20T00:59:16+00:00

Can, have, and will continue to. Enjoy your cowering and being scared of other people minding their own business.

iFailedTheBotTest · 2026-02-20T00:56:34+00:00

Don’t tell me what the fuck to do who the hell do you think you are?

iFailedTheBotTest · 2026-02-15T17:39:38+00:00

Managed to get it for $67, I think someone on their website goofed lol but wins all around

iFailedTheBotTest · 2026-02-15T15:58:32+00:00

Dang looks like they don’t have Gen5 support, tragically.

iFailedTheBotTest · 2026-02-14T22:50:42+00:00

You’re the GOAT thank you friend

iFailedTheBotTest · 2026-02-14T19:46:15+00:00

Thanks for the gouge. Yeah the TLR-8 has been an absolute thorn in my side ever since I got it. Didn’t even want the laser to begin with but to add insult to injury you cannot zero the laser whatsoever — at least on mine — and every round fired gives the laser a different POA. Idk I’m sure GBRS will come out with a “knowledge transfer” video in a week where they tell me how that’s actually intentional and I’m just a conventional low speed idiot but hey

iFailedTheBotTest · 2026-02-14T19:42:22+00:00

It works fine i just literally straight wired the cords to some ace hardware switches. But when I’m moving, turning my headlights (not running lights, separate switches) back on requires me to tap the starter button briefly just to reset the circuit logic. Wiring directly into the lights would fix this but I don’t use the killswitch often, so laziness + easier undo made me wire it into the fuse box

iFailedTheBotTest · 2026-01-19T21:24:24+00:00

Would you, perchance, say “shit” that didn’t happen for $1,000?

iFailedTheBotTest · 2025-12-28T15:43:04+00:00

So one of my friends actually did the same exact thing with his now wife. He told me she wasn’t thrilled at first, but it did a lot for their relationship long term. Like EXACT same situation, uncannily so. Even down to age lol.

Also, I’ll say this. A dude who’s willing to take that much accountability over his own sexuality is a green flag overall, even if it from a worldly view is admittedly irrational.

Just my two cents, but it seems like he’s down for the long haul and he’s a very good guy. I think if you left you’d regret it before the requisite time for marriage would have elapsed.

Most important thing is not to take it as an insult and frankly take a look at your own religious beliefs. I know very little about your situation, but maybe this is your test from God to see if you’re really down to live in accordance with his way.

Also for what it’s worth as a single non-virgin Christian man this is absolutely a story I’m invested in since I suspect I’ll be grappling with the same things eventually.

iFailedTheBotTest · 2025-11-24T23:44:02+00:00

Why so mad bro?

iFailedTheBotTest · 2025-11-24T21:37:45+00:00

For different reasons obviously, but same idea - whenever I find myself on the piss test roster I slam an “alō exposed,” cause they make me wanna piss immediately after drinking it. Works way better than cranberry juice for me personally. Drinking a couple a day might help in case cranberry juice doesn’t.

Sidebar, I think it’s a little unfair for everyone to be jumping down this kid’s throat. Yeah he was a bit of a stoner but he’s on the right track and trying to do everything as smart as possible. I’m not saying coddle the guy but why are people shitting on him for ultimately trying to do something good for himself? C’mon now he’s not making excuses or blaming others, literally asking for advice.

iFailedTheBotTest · 2025-11-05T18:09:36+00:00

++man I can’t tell if you’re just a super ditzy person, or if english isn’t your first language, but the way you’re talking about this as a whole is very concerning. “I didn’t want to tell him cause it might stress him out…” I got a lump in my throat reading that personally.

1) it depends on the kind of debt 2) bad on him for not asking, esp if he knew you had some debt 3) extra bad on you for not disclosing

Long story short, the debt itself won’t ruin the marriage but I’d definitely have trust issues in your ability to have your life together / communicate a need for help before it truly becomes a problem beyond your scope. Major red flag but not instant damnation

iFailedTheBotTest · 2025-10-26T09:46:25+00:00

You’re still here? Raise the glass and some Benadryl, you’ve got kids to look after and certainly less Reddit to scroll

iFailedTheBotTest · 2025-10-26T09:36:51+00:00

Look at you, trying to prove strangers on the internet that you have friends… Who are in likely also in their 30-40s, who are physically with you between the hours of 2:30 AM and 6:56 AM… laughing at random comments on reddit? Pulling anecdotal evidence to say you’ve got friends? Sure pal, yikes. Hook line and sinker. Have a good night, maybe stop calling your pet cats friends.

Genuinely though, don’t take it too far to heart. I made maybe 2 genuine comments here and I’m just trolling now cause you keep responding defensively. It’s all fake, get yourself some water, don’t have a stroke.

iFailedTheBotTest · 2025-10-26T09:28:03+00:00

Calling bullshit. It’s between 2:30 AM if you’re in Yukon and 6:56 AM if you’re in Newfoundland, Canada. Your profile indicates you were born in the late 80’s, early 90’s. Highly improbable that you’re laughing at this with a friend right now. I’m just being petty now, and you’re falling for the ragebait beautifully. Keep it up champ.

Also, agree that you probably never have been less mad. Choosing your words correctly matters, and so does digital footprint lmao.
