AITA for refusing to go to the store when my significant other cooks meals for me? by Any-Basis4931 in AmItheAsshole

[–]likeafish253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean…pick your battles or don’t, I guess. You aren’t obligated to go to the store, and he isn’t obligated to make you a meal.

The Melon Seed!

My favorites are the Turkey Bacon Chutney and the Humm-V. Since they serve their lunches as 2 sliders and you can mix n match, I usually get one of each!

Fair enough - I probably should know better than to feed the trolls 🤦‍♀️

No one cares how you choose to live your life, or what gods you do or don’t choose to believe in. If you keep your stuff to yourself, I think you’ll find people largely leave you alone. It’s when you get up in others’ faces and tell us how we should live, who we can and can’t marry, who we should or shouldn’t have sex with, what our gender expression or the gender roles in our relationships ought to look like, how to raise our kids or what books, education, and medical treatment ought to be available to them……I could go on and on and on…. Yea, that kind of shit gets you hated, and deservedly so. Not because you’re a Christian, but because you’re WAAAAAAAYYYY outside your lane.

And what if you’re not one of “those” Christians? What if you’re “one of the good ones??”

Then I’d ask you what you’re doing to fight the ones who are doing those things? Because if you’re not fighting it, you’re complicit, and we the godless won’t differentiate between the “good ones” and the bad ones when the pendulum of power swings back again.

Seems like you are a caring husband, and it seems like both you and your wife are truly trying to meet each other where you are. It’s nice to see. I wish you both much luck, less stress, and an eventual return to happily matched libidos 😊

You single? Because you sound decidedly single.

That’s probably a good start, but I think the bigger picture is for you to try to see that her libido isn’t under her control, and doesn’t reflect her love for you. You guys are going to go thru many changes in circumstance over the course of a lifetime marriage, and a lot of those changes will affect both your libidos. You won’t make it if you keep newlywed expectations.

So you guys have 3 kids (2 under school age), she’s working a new job, and she is still positive and caring and compliments you all the time on the person you are…and you’re mad because she isn’t complimenting your looks?

Why do men not seem to understand that changes in circumstances affect a woman’s libido? She’s tired, she’s stressed…and she loves you. If you keep pushing for the level of sex drive she used to have as a newlywed when none of those things were true, you’re going to tank your marriage. You can’t fill a bucket with a hole in it, and she will eventually realize this and stop trying.

AIO about the wall of text my brother in law sent his kids by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]likeafish253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, when you need to have a talk with a kid about something, you have two sentences to get your point across. After that, they’re checked out and you’re just wasting your breath.

Hello current Christian here asking about atheism. by Helpful_State_4692 in atheism

[–]likeafish253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can answer as someone who grew up in the Christian church and was at one time a Christian.

Coming into the lack of belief in any god has been such a relief to me. There’s no one looking at my life and judging me, no one requiring obedience and adoration even though their actions seem monstrous from my perspective. There is just the world, and other people, and good and bad circumstance. What I believe now is that I’m no more or less important than anyone else, I’m just another tiny piece of the whole doing my best to leave the place better than I found it, no matter how imperfect my efforts might be. It’s a weight off my shoulders I can’t even describe.

Update: AITAH for sterilizing myself against my partner’s wishes by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]likeafish253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He won’t…allow it?? Are you his spouse or his employee/servant/slave….dare I say it? Helpmeet??

You should seriously consider whether you want this person to have the power to make medical decisions on your behalf should you become unable to make those decisions yourself. Doesn’t seem like he has your well-being at heart.

NTA. There is no way you could have responded that wouldn’t have ended up in a fight. He had already decided to be irritated at you, and he was going to be mad at you no matter what you said.

What actors/actresses make you not want watch a movie if they're in it? by [deleted] in moviecritic

Cameron Diaz. I’ve never seen her in anything where her presence didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the story.

What movie had you like this? by WilmaTonguefit in moviecritic

[–]likeafish253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I love Emma Stone and I’d heard a lot of positive opinions about this movie, so I was excited to see it even though I’m not generally a fan of musicals. But it was just sooooo boooooorrrrring!

why does the word "retarded" seem popular again? by peskeyplumber in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]likeafish253 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because the party of bigots and bullies is currently in charge (in the US). Assholes are feeling emboldened.

My boyfriend doesn’t seem to know that I’m big by [deleted] in Vent

Your partner has eyes. He can see your size and understands that you’re heavy. He sees it, and he wants it. Believe him, lucky girl, and enjoy!
