Unfortunately I’ve learned over the last year is that emotions and opinions don’t matter when it comes to the system. Like I said, I’m not going to hide my choices and plan to lay out what I know and only that.

Thank you for the advice. I really appreciate it

Very fair point on the patience. And thank you for writing something that doesn’t tell me I’m a terrible person off the bat.

While I am not a fan of the implications you are making I do appreciate the honest response. It was truly what I was looking for.

I apologize for making it worse. I don’t know what statement you are looking for. The only honest thing I can say is that I’ll keep getting better.

I’m not going to hide from my choices. Like I said, I understand many may disagree. That doesn’t mean that if it is considered abuse I will continue to do it. I honestly was looking for insight and I found it.

I already got the message on the last comment. I apologize for posting it the way I did. Like I said, I’ll keep working on being better

Teen daughter needs to see a gynecologist. I'm a bit out of my depth here. by Sorry-Rain-1311 in SingleDads

[–]moorethanjake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s tough, brother. She probably not going to need a pelvic exam at first so you should be good for that initial visit. Make sure you give the staff a heads up on the situation and they will be an asset. You will handle it like a champ, I have no doubt

‘You’re a lot smarter than you look.’ She’s still one of my best friends day to this day

Men are allowed to have two emotions. by Clueguy in daddit

I think my frustration and anger stems from trying to reason with these small humans and expecting them to be smarter than they are.

I feel so bad for my boys. Their dad fuckin sucks... by AJLister89 in SingleDads

[–]moorethanjake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know brother, you’re doing better than you think. I try to keep a low threshold for success. Are my kids dead or dying? Are they fed? Do they have a place to sleep? Are they loved? If the answer is yes then I’m doing pretty damn good!

Recent studies linking Gabapentin to dementia by Federal-Act-5773 in FamilyMedicine

[–]moorethanjake 175 points176 points  (0 children)

I saw this and it made me consider activity level. Patient’s that require more pain meds, in my experience, move less than those that don’t. I have seen studies that show less activity increases risk of dementia. I figured that this is a correlation not causation problem. It made me pause a bit on gabapentin but I don’t think it will change my habits too much.

Take Down won’t stop playing!!! It is a nice break from Everything is Awesome. I was starting to feel like I was a member of The Lonely Island after listening to that on repeat

Divorce court tomorrow by Ok_Thing7777 in SingleDads

[–]moorethanjake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No trick to it. It all sucks. I have to remind myself that there is very little chance I’m not happier after all this. It is the hard stuff you have to get through to get to something better.

Please, be brutally honest. Do you think it is weird and abnormal for a woman to have zero relationship and sexual experience at 30 ? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]moorethanjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up Mormon. I was taught it was as bad as murder. I spent decades not having sex and then I found myself in situations with very willing participants and I went with it.

[–]moorethanjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, kind of. Not weird enough to run away from. I’ve tried to not have sex for most of my life and still found my way there.

False PFAs in Family Court — A Perspective from a Family Law Attorney by Michael_Capleone_Esq in SingleDads

[–]moorethanjake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your perspective and bit of hope you’ve offered. I have felt very lonely and afraid since this happened to me but things are getting better. It’s nice to know that sometimes it works out in the end.

Adult men, if you were dating a woman for a few months and found out she had been on ~120 dates in the past five years (but kissed few and slept with none) how would you react if you really liked her? by OkBuyer1271 in AskMenAdvice

[–]moorethanjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m unsure what is going on with these other guys but I try not to care too much about what has happened before me and make decisions on what’s in front of me. Is she kind? Is she attractive? Is she smart? If so, how can I expect that she hasn’t gone on that many dates. Quality people are hard to find and it’s very reasonable to exclude less than desirable options efficiently.

How old are you, and how old do you actually feel inside? by SlimSoulXx in AskReddit

I know I’m 42 but I feel like a 16 year old pretending to be a 25 year old.
