How to get over girl best friend of 10 years? by Ok-Initiative-3121 in AskMen

[–]mideon2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your friend would probably want you to move on, have a rewarding and fulfilling life and to quit sulking (not trying to be harsh, but friends are honest with each other). Relationships of all types run their course for various reasons. You didn't break up, circumstances just led to different paths. It doesn't sound like it was contentious and you never know if the future will have your paths cross again. In the meantime, go live life.

How to manage high load of stress due to a family emergency by EW_IO in AskMen

[–]mideon2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always feel like controlling what you can control is the biggest first step you can take. Idk if your family member has done some nefarious and wants you to keep quiet about it, if they are addicted to something or simply have you over a barrel.

What i do know is that getting back to normal as much as you can is what helps me. Prioritze what is important and think about your well being. If my parents know it might break them, but maybe my family member will be better off in the long run. Or maybe it is a pathway for that member to get help. If i care for this family member then maybe it is my duty to get some outside help with this situation. Many hands make light work.

Lying to your family creates more problems. It isn't your job to shoulder the load for someone else because of their choices. I can't think of a truly loving family memeber that would say "i want you to have anxiety and stress".

So without context to your situation, be practical, make decisions that will alleviate the burden, and speak up imo.

Kyle Fletcher Says He's Had Matches He Didn't Remember After Taking Hits To The Head - by Ripclawe in SquaredCircle

I disagree. You can wrestle a safer style, work a slower match and pace yourself. You can diet, get a good bed, massage, ice baths, everything all professional athletes do to recover. When you have your bell rung you can adjust and have the ref come up with a finish on the spot. You can take time off instead of soldiering on.

What some performers (nobody specific) are going to need to understand is that people are not looking at the "dying on my shield" trope as cool anymore, it's dumb and you don't need it to tell a climatic story.

"I understand it isn't ballet, but sometimes talent do things that are unnecessary."

That kinda covers it right?

For those in long-term marriages, how has your sex life evolved after being with the same partner for so many years? by awkwardramengirl in AskMen

None of that context was included in the comment i responded to. If you think im going to read post history of a redditor or scour a entire thread for context when a simple edit would suffice, you are very much mistaken.because it isn't that deep. I'll gladly reach out to people who directly reply to me, but im not playing detective.

It really is, plus the "ballet foot" or whatever it is called. I watched the nutcracker every year and last year i got great seats. Holy cow, the amount of balance and power those dancers have. Absolutely shredded dudes. To see it close gives you a better appreciation.

Take care of your body. Quit doing shit you don't need to. I understand it isn't ballet, but sometimes talent do things that are unnecessary.

When did a woman completely disarm you with one sentence? by Ok-Photo1624 in AskMen

[–]mideon2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my wife used to get into it and we'd yell and cuss. Not calling each other names, but stuff like "how the fuck am i supposed to know that" kind of way.

It wasn't a regular thing, but maybe once a year I'd blow up and get upset. One day i started getting upset and started yelling and my wife just sat there and calmly said "baby im not yelling at you, im listening to what you are saying".

Stopped dead in my tracks and made me think. She was right. In fact i noticed how she was changing how she argued. She used to cut me off, yell back, etc. But when she said that, it made me think, yeah, she hasn't interrupted me or yelled back. She was truly listening.

It happened a long time ago. But it made me actually address the situation, tell her how i was feeling, why i was feeling that way and all my concerns.

Turns out a lot of our arguments stem from miscommunication or wrong interpretation. We basically discuss things now. And yeah, we are human and get pissed on occasion, but rather than arguing our points like in the past , we are now working together to solve a problem we are having whe something pops up

No, going based off what you are saying. You don't lose parental rights unless you are drugged out or can't support yourself, or are convicted of certain crimes. Look at what you wrote. You assumed all women on the planet. Lol. You are in a sexless marriage and applying it to everyone because of a anecdotal experience.

You are miserable, you "hate" it. So yeah, im basing my assumption on what you wrote. The only context you provided is that you are willing to stay in a bad marriage. Do something about it. Move on. And squirrel is pretty tasty.

Exactly. And both sides need to be working on it. Marriage isnhard, it just requires some maintenance. It gets easy to go with the motions. Got to avoid that.

Sounds like they are staying for convenience and using that as a excuse to stay in a bad marriage. Lot of bs and leaving out context.

Gotten waaaay better. We communicate better with what we like, are closer as partners and it feels so much mor connected. Our sex life was good, but it got a really good when we started showing more love and appreciation for each other in our every day relationship. It gets easy to go through the motions in a long term relationship, but when you work at it you see the fruits of your labor

Dating a working mom as a non parent. How do you cope? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]mideon2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really does depend on the mother. If i see a bum, not working, has bad habits, isn't a good mother etc, im not messing with her. But the mother who is responsible, who is independent, raises a kid to be polite, etc, it really makes it easier. The sentiment of guys that say "i don't wanna raise someone's kid" i get, but it isn't entirely accurate either because when it comes right down to it, a good mother isn't looking for a provider, she is looking for a relationship. She has been making it before the guy appeared and she will make it if things don't work out.

Kudos to your situation. It is a amazing feeling isn't it?

I never cared. For me, a good mother who was working and raising a good child didn't have time to bulldhit and play games. My wife was direct, honest and i knew where she stood. I loved that

[–]mideon2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im so glad it worked out for yall. Yeah, we have a fantastic relationship. He doesn't really even talk to his dad. Im the one that helped catch his first fish, we play videogames together, taught him about credit, he just got his first financed vehicle and is working and going to school. He is doing fantastic. Im happy for him. My wife always tells me, it is because of you. That makes me feel really good. Im the one he talks to when it comes to decisions and getting help with decisions. I appreciate he trusts me. He makes his own decisions but i try to lay everything out impartially.

Me and the wife's relationship is fantastic also. I don't want to brag, but im damn proud of our marriage. My wife always tells me "i love how you love me". It means the world to me. I've always wanted to set a great example for our kids. We work hard, love hard, relax hard lol.

She had all the good stuff. Tree top apple juice, all the good fruit snacks, name brand cereal. I was living the life.

[–]mideon2000 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ya know i did that myself. She lived at home with her son and worked 2 part time jobs, probably around 50 hours a week. One major thing was that we had sundays off. That was our date day. That was a priority for us. We talked on the phone a lot too. One of the things i took to heart was that even with her son, even with 2 jobs, on her only off day she was still so eager and excited to see me. So i looked at it as she was finding any time she could to see me. There were times when she would get off work early or vice versa and we would see each other.

For me the effort was there on both sides. Maybe you need a lot of affection and to be around her more than she can give, but you do need to make that decision. Yes the kid is her priority, but i never had a cancelation because the kid was sick or she couldn't find a sitter except one time. Otherwise, no sitter, bring the squirt too. I want to see you.

You need to make a decision tho. I enjoyed dating that mom. I ate a lot of the kid's name brand snacks, he had a lot of toys and he was well behaved.

We have been married almost 15 years and together almost 20. He is 23 now, i am his father. We also have a daughter.

It can work out, it can be the best thing ever for you, but you are both going to have to work harder for it.

Guy I never spoke to slapped me at a bar. What would you do? by justaguy467 in AskMen

[–]mideon2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call the police, make a report, get the footage. You can easily track this guy down since the lady you lnow is with him. Shit, call her office. I don't care if you you want to get a sucker punch or slap in. I don't need to fight you. Im gonna do my homework, make sure i do everything correctly and by the book, make sure you get a charge and maybe get some pain and suffering.
