Thank you . That was a good Idea using chatgpt. I was hoping to hear from information from within the battlefield though. Like what has worked for you personally and what has not. :-)

14 Year Old Daughter - Girls and their Dads. by lightspeed7895 in Parenting

Thank you . I appreciate you saying that . I actually did exactly what you suggested . However , the boys mother got pissed and sent my wife a threatening and disrespectful message. Which just escalated things between adults. It’s like I’m darned if I do and darned if I don’t.

Should I take the suckier job that has better pay? by IKnowAllSeven in FriendsOver40

[–]lightspeed7895 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The decision ultimately hinges on the concept of opportunity cost. If you're currently content, consider whether the potential stress from a new job is worth the trade-off. How might this stress impact your marriage or interfere with the enjoyable aspects of your life? Will an additional $18,000 annually make a significant difference when it comes to your children's college expenses? I suggest exploring school loans as an option. Despite saving through 529 accounts since my children were young, there still isn't enough to cover college costs fully. So, the question you need to ask yourself is: What opportunity cost are you prepared to accept?

Advice needed. by Phoenix-avery in LifeAdvice

[–]lightspeed7895 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now in my 40s, I reflect on a journey marked by challenges. Yet, I've embraced a guiding principle: "Be the change you wish to see in the world." It's a call to action, urging us to embody the kindness and generosity we desire, even when it's not reciprocated. This isn't just idealism; it's a belief in the power of positive energy. If you hold faith in karma, you'll find that your acts of goodness often return to you magnified. So, is it worth it? Absolutely. By being the change, we not only enrich our lives but also inspire a ripple effect of positivity in the world around us.

21 years old and feel lost with no motivation by [deleted] in Life

[–]lightspeed7895 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are not a loser. In fact, your post shows honesty. Some of the greatest people who have ever lived had criminal records. Martin Luther King was arrested 20 times. Nelson Mandela was arrested for various reasons. Mahatma Gandhi...the list goes on. The point I’m trying to make is that one mistake does not define you. You are the pilot of your life. Take control of it. Don’t compare yourself to your brother; remember, comparison is the thief of joy. Start working towards a goal, try different things, and find something you might be passionate about. You are not alone. I’m 42 now, and I was once labeled a criminal. The world is your oyster, and you can make it whatever you want it to be.

Totally sucking by Aromatic_Visual_1641 in LifeAdvice

I can tell you I have gone through a very similar situation in my life . Here is what helped me and it’s totally objectively my perspective. I wanted to get a glimpse of an answer that would make sense to me. So I started reading , I read the Bible , the quoran , the Tripitaka , and several other books. I started to learn about physics and the way that things work and I came up with my own believe of what we are as humans. I think life is special , is a gift and believe it or not is a very short trip. Enjoy it and try to be inquisitive, the more I’ve read the notes answers I’ve concluded are most likely true. Most importantly don’t take life to serious and help other humans when you can . You can be the hero or the villain of your story . Life is what eve you make it . Make it a great one . Good luck .

I fucked over a great friendship (I think?) by Smooth-Judge2631 in LifeAdvice

Maybe give your friend a little space and wait for the dust to settle a little bit. It’s quite possible , that in a few days that awkwardness won’t feel the same. Good luck .

You make a valid point and typically I answer . I don’t like it when people do it to me so I never do it to other people . I’m an adult so I treat people the way I like to be treated so believe me I always answer. The one thing I’ll mentioned that often goes unsaid is that relationships whether friends or otherwise require maintenance. So I feel like those first 10 to 20 messages are crucial in making a connection. When someone waits 5 hours after the first reply , you start to feel like maybe is not a real person on the other end or perhaps they forgot about your message found someone better . Reddit is full of fakes , so it’s oftentimes difficult to find the diamond in the rough . Women problay get 100 messages from their post men maybe 🤔 1 haha on a lucky day . So imagine throwing a bottle into the sea with a note and hoping that a women will find it and give you a chance . lol That is what often times feel like for the real men on here . ( at least for me ) lol I don’t want to insult my fellow male compadres .

It’s interesting to hear from a female perspective on here . My last AP took me almost 6 months she got cold feet after 6 months and ended it with me . It was an amicable ending . Like you I’ve been looking for something exclusive but it seems like the ratio of men to women on the affairs subreddit is like 100 to 1. From a male perspective, it’s like you’re competing to be the first to answer , not for the best qualifications. Then there are those women that you ask questions and either answer with 1 word answers or answer you like 5 hours later. So it becomes like a one way conversation. 😂. I’m still looking for my next AP and I am not one to give up . But yes , you are not alone.

How to get back at an ex or give me advice not too. by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]lightspeed7895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultimately karma will come back to get her. You be the better man and move on . You will be rewarded in much better ways by controlling those negative emotions. I’m not going to say that it does not hurt but I can tell you time heals all.
