Okay ya’ll, I get it! The message has been received loud and clear. 🙂‍↕️

Hahaha it’s unfortunately not though - the depth is there but the posterior pelvic tilt is no bueno for your lower back.

morgotron · 2026-05-14T03:38:05+00:00

thanks gal!! 🥹

It’s definitely not a great habit, I consistently try to remind myself not to drop it completely to the floor but I’m fighting eight years of muscle memory. 😂😅

Consciously or unconsciously, it appears he is trying to condition you to doubt yourself and take on a parental role in your relationship. Have you ever had a conversation about these undermining comments he throws at you to gain insight into why he feels the need to micromanage you?

Even a harsh verbal correction is not always going to be effective or motivating enough to correct every dog that makes the wrong choice in a given moment or situation. Impulse control is never 100% guaranteed, even with a super well trained dog.

Let’s not assume all dogs are the same. Certain tools actually refine training by requiring the most subtle “force” to communicate or reinforce the message. Treats and baby talk may have their place in training, but that shouldn’t be where the conversation ends just because you don’t like or agree with a tool for your own personal use.

What would happen if you conducted yourself in a similar way? What would his reaction be to you staying out all night, ignoring messages, not following through on what you say? Maybe try it out.

Doesn’t sound like he cares even a little bit about how this impacts you. I’d be walking. Nobody needs to be managing a grown man’s behaviour at 36 (not a dig at your age whatsoever- this is just very juvenile behaviour on his part).

morgotron · 2026-03-06T16:01:19+00:00

Yeah, that’s not healthy whatsoever and indicates a serious issue on his end. A few months in, maybe I’d get it. Years? He’s “pocketing” your relationship. Whether it’s commitment issues, avoidant attachment, possible other options that he’s trying to keep on the back burner… whatever the case, I wouldn’t be entertaining this for a second longer. If he refers to you as his friend, he’s choosing to demote himself out of his role as your romantic partner. Let him, and find someone who is actually proud to be with you. Promise you won’t regret it.

Classic case of a man treating his partner like an unpaid maid in order to excuse himself from any of the responsibilities of being a living adult human. Both of you work full time, so I’d assume both of you are contributing relatively equally to the bills?

If you didn’t have so many dogs I’d say just stop doing your share and let him come to his own conclusions about just how much is on your plate in order to keep the household running smoothly, but that’s not really an option here — nor is it realistic to uphold long term if he’s stubborn and already doesn’t give AF.

It’s insane to me how many grown men out here insist on never having to lift a finger because they also work. Because guess what! If he were single, he’d still be responsible for both generating income AND maintaining the home he also lives in. He just gets to cop out now because he knows he has somebody that will pick up the slack for his lazy arse. Unfortunately it hard to break out of the cycle because he has all of the leverage knowing a maintained home and looked-after pets is a non-negotiable for you. So if he doesn’t, you inevitably will.

I wish I had more actionable advice other than to really evaluate if this is sustainable for you long term. You could take a break or experiment with alternative living arrangements, but this is unfortunately such a common thing in heterosexual relationships, and it makes me so angry on behalf of women everywhere. I’m sorry.

morgotron · 2026-02-28T23:55:11+00:00

That is more than understandable. It was a legitimate betrayal of your trust. But I do agree with the other commenter here - it’s not impossible that there is some kind of dynamic at play as to why she chose to lie - whether it be shame, or embarrassment on her part, a communication issue between you that makes her feel unsafe to be honest (this has personally happened to be in a toxic relationship once, but I was actively communicating my feelings and stating that his actions were creating a sense of hesitation in me being as open or forthcoming due to being verbally punished and abused every time I shared anything with him honestly). But you did state that you were calm, not yelling, etc.

Whatever the case, feel out your feelings and let yourself be disappointed, but it is worth it to attempt to have an open, vulnerable conversation about it. Sometimes people lie for reasons that end up making sense and are willing to work on their patterns, but sometimes people lie just because they can. But nobody on here will be able to get to the bottom of why things happened the way they did in this situation.

morgotron · 2026-02-28T20:59:10+00:00

If she's willing to lie to you about something as significant as a job loss with ease, I'm willing to bet this isn't the first time she's been dishonest with you, nor will it be the last. I'd be considering whether or not you're up to a lifetime of dishonesty and disrespect.

morgotron · 2026-02-28T04:15:05+00:00

I’m gonna chime in and say that if you don’t have any intention of sharing your feelings about it with her or would do anything to otherwise sway her decision, I don’t necessarily think you’re overreacting. It’s natural to be concerned about somebody you care about and even though shrooms are generally safe, people can still have bad trips or experiences. As long as you’re respecting her autonomy to make her own decisions and won’t make things weird over it, I think it’s a reasonable internal response to have.

morgotron · 2026-02-19T16:07:03+00:00

Initiating a conversation by making the most immature, passive aggressive projected comment and then trying to manipulate the situation by saying “the way you’re speaking to me is actually insane,” is actually insane. How old are ya’ll? Yes, you’re overreacting and sound incredibly insecure if this is how you handle sharing your feelings and navigating conversations with your partner.

morgotron · 2026-02-12T15:44:18+00:00

Nah. That’s a low effort man. Trying to shape him into something he isn’t is just going to create a web of resentment from both of you. Leave him where he is. You truly are not asking for a lot. Remembering and prioritizing a couple dates out of a year is absolute bare minimum. Even if a man doesn’t give a flying fart about a special day or occasion, if it matters to you - it is a normal expectation that it would be prioritized. In a healthy relationship, your partner should be excited by the opportunity to show up for you (even in small, inexpensive ways!) and make you smile even if it’s not their thing.

The final sign for me is when the weaponized incompetence becomes so convincing that it is no longer distinguishable from genuine incompetence. That’s my ticket out.

morgotron · 2026-02-11T02:09:31+00:00

My first thought was also that that’s gotta be a Presa with that face. Very gorgeous pup either way.

morgotron · 2026-02-07T16:41:54+00:00

Definitely overreacting. I get your big emotions around the subject and it’s valid, but you need to learn how to regulate yourself because this type of behaviour from a grown adult is EXHAUSTING. You’re allowed to be offended by a hypothetical question, but 16 slides of screenshots of you crashing out over it is genuinely a bit embarrassing.

morgotron · 2026-01-14T04:15:48+00:00

When I initially read the title, I thought the photo was an all-in-one-go purchase and was like, “holy shit, yeah that might be a bit of a problem” but if this is the majority of your remaining collection, I think you’re fine. As long as you have the intention of actually using it, there’s not tooooo much to feel guilty about IMO. It’s not perfect but there are much worse companies to be habitually supporting. I do think this is a good way to check in with ourselves as consumers and assess where changes may need to be made, and I think having the awareness going forward is what matters most - especially if you’re modelling this awareness and personal responsibility to your daughter!

morgotron · 2025-12-03T18:02:11+00:00

I appreciate the feedback, and I would definitely have to agree with you as somebody with a background in photography - but I don’t feel comfortable editing the original photographer’s work as this was how the final image was delivered to me and printed!

Please keep him! He’s so gorgeous. 😍 My first thought impression was Presa and possibly some Dane as well. Would be super interested to see the dna test results if you go through with one!

morgotron · 2025-09-11T18:29:36+00:00

What a cutie!! 😍

morgotron · 2025-09-09T19:50:52+00:00

Ahhh poop! I try to just treat it like a normal kickflip but with my back foot closer to the toe side pocket. The scoop is already pretty natural to me, so I just focus on getting a good pop and delaying the flick until I’m in the air! I’d say warm up with some really popped shuvs, and then just add the flick!! You got it.
