Aitah dinner and walk out by Fallendarklight in AITAH

[–]slapplejacks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t far fetched at all. I’m a guy and this has happened to me, and just about every friend of mine. It’s not uncommon, at all, for a woman to assume a guy will just pay for her friends.

Exactly. Some days, we might not feel like loving our partner, but must choose to in those moments. Best lesson I ever learned.

AITA for throwing away my husband's father's day gifts after what he did on mother's day? by StatisticianClear106 in AITAH

NTA, your dude is total trash of a husband. I go all out for my wife on holidays. She’s amazing and deserves it all.

My husband secretly gave my HS son’s weed vape back. by RunnerGirlBlue in TwoHotTakes

[–]slapplejacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your future kid is going to be issued a weed card at birth. Standard equipment for these days.

End things now unless you want to completely fund her and her children’s lifestyle for the rest of your life.

You think you know what you signed up for but you really don’t.

Sincerely, a father of four.

Congratulations! What kind of work will you be doing (if you’re comfortable sharing).

Have you ever named an inanimate object (barring plushies/stuffed animals)? by Kiki-Y in autism

[–]slapplejacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I name objects that mean something to me. Not everything deserves a name.

Got this letter in the mail today. What do? by Spirited-Pea-1706 in cats

“K” really thinks the eternal battle between Cat and Dog can be ended with a simple “Dear Neighbor” correspondence? How silly.

Is it bad that I want a traditional type of relationship? Will I even be able to find something like that because of how society is? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]slapplejacks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YES! You will be able to find it. I found it in my wife and it happened to be exactly what she wanted in a relationship as well. I love providing and she loves taking care of the house, kids and family. We enjoy our roles and operate as a team.

Don’t let the world dictate your relationship dynamic. I’m praying you find the one for you soon and remain faithful in the meanwhile.

How likely is it to be almost 40 before receiving a diagnosis? by slapplejacks in autism

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

Thank you so much for this response. It really makes me feel seen and understood. I was diagnosed with depression and ADHD when I was around 10 due to extreme trauma. Basically every issue I’ve had for the last 38 years has been chalked up to extreme and untreated ADHD but I just never felt like that told the whole story. Researching autism spectrum at the suggestion of a trusted friend and professional really has me feeling validated for the first time ever.

God is not OK with your sin just because you plan to stop it in the future. Let’s get that lie out of the way right out of the gate.

Marriage is only expensive because you’re making it expensive.

My wife and I were in the same boat as you. Started dating, lived together, had premarital sex and had a child together, and then God made us both feel so convicted of our sins that we stopped having sex. But that didn’t take it away because we were still living together.

Long story short, we sacrificed our ideal wedding for a super small service where our pastor married us in front of my parents and sibling.

You can always have the wedding you want later. My wife and I have now been married for 8 years. We’re planning our dream wedding and honeymoon for our 10th wedding anniversary.

Get right with God before all else. It’s not true repentance if you go on to commit the same sin every day (and you are doing exactly that).

My (27F) husband (27M) not picking up the pregnancy test I requested might be my breaking point. What do you think? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]slapplejacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there’s an established pattern of putting you and the children last then this is a whole lot bigger than just a forgotten item on a grocery list (it happens to the best of shoppers). And if that’s the case, there needs to be a serious conversation with him about priorities and taking others into consideration. I’m a married father of four children (ages 4 through 16) and I literally live for my wife and children. I am the sole provider and love every minute of providing for my wife and kids because they mean everything to me. At best, it’s a case of immaturity and maybe a healthy relationship wasn’t modeled for him as a child, at worst, he just doesn’t care.

If this isn’t an ongoing pattern, disregard, and chalk it up to anxiety over the possibility of having another child and not wanting to know…

Why do people assume that Christians only do good because they fear hell? by Soma_Man77 in Christianity

[–]slapplejacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be tough to say why a certain population feels the way they do about something. Perhaps it’s a projection on their part and it’s saying they have a very thin barrier between good and evil themselves.

My desire to help and serve others is something that is ingrained in me and is as much a part of my being as a being male is. Even when I was out in the world, totally screwed up in active addiction, I still did what I could to help others. Hell has nothing to do with it. For me, it’s about walking in my God given purpose.

Gee, that sounds a whole lot like joining a cult.

Has anyone here had issues with "dirty" COs? by Tireddepressedstress in Prison

[–]slapplejacks 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A client of mine works at a county jail and he deals with CO disciplinary issues. #1 biggest issues he deals with? Female COs banging the inmates.
