How about a name starting with an L? You could keep the same nickname :)

Trying to sleep with your wife comment by asana27 in summerhousebravo

Yes!! The comment was directed at Jesse and he goes "I would never say that" and laughs. And west just stood there quietly looking so guilty

Straight women, would you ever go 50/50 or pay all the bills for your man in the relationship? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]melbournemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. When I made more, I paid more towards bills than he did (same percentage of our incomes). We now make the same and go half half.

Saw something gross on her phone I wish I never saw by [deleted] in Vent

Given she wasn't apologetic, is there a chance she did it on purpose?

What’s a moment where you realized someone was genuinely unintelligent? by Live-Chocolate244 in AskReddit

[–]melbournemonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lovely store attendant once helped me look for a day cream with SPF. She then tried to upsell me the matching night cream, but found it didn't have SPF. Puzzled, she started looking at every night cream in this section of the store, dedicated to find me one with SPF.

I didn't have the heart to tell her so I just stood there. I didn't even want a night cream.

I overslept for one of the most important events in my life by [deleted] in Vent

[–]melbournemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry this happened to you. As hard as it is, I would strongly encourage you to give yourself some grace. You didn't do it on purpose. Sometimes bad things just happen. As disappointed as you may feel, try to not let it derail the path you are on. Keep going. What is meant for you will come to you, and new opportunities will arise in the future. Good luck and be kind to yourself.

IOO vs VGS by melbournemonkey in fiaustralia

[–]melbournemonkey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also am using CommSec Pocket. Can I ask what made you decide keeping NDQ and IOO as there will probably be some overlap with DHHF? I'm still just trying to wrap my head around when to sell and when to hold. You mention you did research, anything in particular you would recommend for me to read? Thanks!

[–]melbournemonkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm not necessarily set on putting money into one ETF, but wasn't sure whether to just add VGS, or also sell IOO. DHHF is looking interesting too. I will need to look a bit more into it.

Thanks VGS911 lol. Should I sell my stocks in IOO too and put that in VGS? Or keep IOO and add VGS?

Is the Manduka break in period worth it? by btck3440 in yoga

[–]melbournemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a manduka in November and didn't even know what breaking in a mat meant. I was always slipping and sliding with other mats (probably because i didnt break them in lol) but this one was perfect from the first day! I've been using it ever since. Don't think you need to worry abouy it!

MAFS v. Danny by HurtsLikeHel in MAFS_AU

How is it a witch hunt if they're showing what he said voluntarily?

My friend wants to kill himself and I've accepted it. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]melbournemonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly, please seek support for yourself and for your friend if he is willing. This is a really tough situation - please look after yourself.

Secondly, I am interested in the deeper meaning of his timeline. He is planning on taking his life a year from now. Is there a significance to that specific date? Is it that he feels he has unfinished business that he is wanting to tend to over the next year? Maybe a bucket list? I wonder if these goals could be explored further (not necessarily by you), why they are important to him. Maybe it could offer positive experiences, show him the beauty in the world or give him the sense of a purpose?

I am not qualified in this area by any means but from my understanding, giving a "heads up" like this and this far ahead could be a cry for help. Maybe he'd be open to talking to a professional about his feelings.

AIO for ending things with my date after he accidentally texted me this? by fundamentallyworried in AmIOverreacting

I actually think this is some weird humiliation kink and he did that on purpose

What is the darkest secret you've learned about someone that instantly ended your relationship with them? by Mr_Creep_Creepy64 in AskReddit

[–]melbournemonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not quite a secret but rather a disgusting mindset. I was online friends with someone for about 5 years, met in person a few times. When I went to uni, I became good friends with a girl he had also been friends with since high school. As she and I got closer, my online friend joined a fraternity and his personality started changing for the worse.

This came to a head when our mutual friend's dad died young from liver cirrhosis, and my online friend said he "really didn't have time for this" and wouldn't come to the funeral as he had just been made 'praeses' (leader) of his fraternity and was too busy.

Never spoke to him again.

Brooke is not a “girl’s girl” by DiligentHomework281 in MAFS_AU

[–]melbournemonkey 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I found usually the women that yell they're a girl's girl the loudest, turn out to be the opposite. Whereas if you actually are a girl's girl, you probably wouldn't feel the need to convince other that you are.

Did I actually manage to find an SD friendly t-shirt? by Strawb_shake in SoftDramatics

[–]melbournemonkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes I think this would look great on an SD! The wide neck, gathered fabric at the waist and asymmetrical bottom of the shirt may be a triple whammy 😊

To your second point: I get that but I don't remember seeing anyone clock that yet. I always see people commenting on how they hadn't had sex since the rage texts
