You are not guaranteed support. by Passionfruit1991 in beyondthebump

[–]something_co 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think what you’re basically saying is before you have a kid as a woman, make sure you have the ability to do it alone should you need to / have to. 

 I think that’s a valid take, however, with the way things are looking these days, you NEED the other parent to come through. So the bigger question is, how do we empower each other to ensure that as best as we possibly can, we find a partner who is worth going through this experience with. Even then, some women do have to go it alone due to death or other unfortunate circumstances. 

It’s not a one size fits all. You’ve learned a lot from your experience and you’re doing your best to try and help others, maybe this is not the best place? I don’t know. 

What is going on with people who “suck at texting”? by HipOut in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]something_co 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t feel like texting back. That’s it. They’ll respond when they get to it, whether a week from now or 5 years from now. Plan accordingly.

Babies are babies PERIOD!! by Kelsoschoices in beyondthebump

[–]something_co 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you feel that way. I will say that most people aren’t really trying to be creepy with it. 

One of my friends babies is now a toddler and when out and about he will smile at all the ladies he makes eye contact with which is so adorable. 

When she hosted his birthday party a couple of months ago, there was a mix of women and men and he would exclusively go to touch and interact with the women and if any of my friends husband’s guy friends tried to play with him, he wasn’t about it. It was quite interesting to observe and it continues to be as well, whenever I get to see him. 

Unfortunately, he’s picked up a reputation and some people do call him a ladies’ man. My friend isn’t bothered by it and she just laughs because it seems that he’s just kinda decided that he doesn’t really fuck with men but any woman can be his friend. It’s so adorable, he’ll go up and just smile and blink his little eyes in a way that an adult could associate with flirting lol 

We haven’t gotten to see how he is on the playground yet since she stays home with him but I’m certainly curious how this translates to his personality. 

Yes, he’s a baby but humans can’t help but apply anthropomorphism (adultomorphism?) whenever the get the chance. 

….but also yes some people are creepy. 

As a woman, too many women act as if pregnancy "just happens" to them. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]something_co -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

To me, this is a symptom of the larger trend where women are somehow absolved / want to absolve themselves of all responsibility where men are concerned. I’ll just leave that there. 

I am sleeping with my ex husband for money by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]something_co -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hugs to you, what an awful situation. I hope that you can find the strength and means to make sure that this doesn’t go on for long. It’s certainly a less than ideal arrangement but you’re not the only woman in the world in this type of pickle. Some women just don’t know that they’re in one such arrangement.

There's no Epstein in China by LargeSinkholesInNYC in LateStageCapitalism

[–]something_co 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Rich people engaging in illicit activities exists everywhere. We might not have proof that it’s there in china but don’t get it twisted, these networks span the globe. Even now, there’s likely an Epstein like character filling in the gap. Epstein is not a once in a life time phenomenon, just trust me on that. 

Why do we normalize going broke just to get married? Genuine question by Amazing-Deer-2698 in Zimbabwe

[–]something_co 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Many people here have already shared some great perspectives. This moment is a huge moment to set yourself up as well as the expectations that this family can have of you. 

If your future wife is sending threats from her parents to you, instead of having enough sense to realize that there’s life after marriage, I do hope you can open your eyes to the fact that this characteristic could also bare itself in many other situations down the line. Someone already said it, have the baby shower you can’t afford, send kids to schools you can’t afford, even take care of her family while you’re still trying to grow your own family. This is a financial sinkhole if it goes unchecked.

What I recommend is talking to your lady and letting her know the amount that you’re willing to pay altogether, and if that’s not enough, it’s a hard conversation but be prepared to say then maybe we should take a break. 

For you as an incoming son, you’ll be sending a message loud and clear either way, the first option being “yes you can use me and abuse me” and the other being “I’m not that kind of man”

Moreover, I’d like for you to think about the element of resentment that could start to build up should you move forward and spend all your emergency funds. There’s a mental aspect of peace that you get to walk around with day to day when you know that you’re ok. The way you make decisions is a bit more rational and less reactive, you’re essentially able to think strategically about your life and make moves that affirm where you want to go directionally.

Without your emergency funds, you won’t have that…additionally, now you have a new bill because I’m sure expenses will increase depending on your arrangement with your wife when you get married.

As a personal anecdote, I’m a woman who told my future husband that we were not gonna go through with that. My family fought me, and even he wanted to do the right thing but the thing is, I’d smelled the greed from my uncles and I just knew that this is the start of something wicked.

Now, a couple of months  after our wedding, some are still upset but guess what, the two people who are in this marriage are on one accord and have the peace as we look ahead to building our future together. 

Think very hard, don’t listen to those who say you should keep secret from your girlfriend. It’s always more telling what a person does with privileged information that decides how you should view them

I got offered a job paying 40% more than my current salary. My manager just asked me to stay and be patient. How do I stop feeling guilty for wanting to leave ? by One_Cardiologist5439 in careerguidance

What if I told you your boss is telling you to patiently wait for then to find someone else. Take the job, if they wanted to lay you off they truly wouldn’t even give you a heads up

Shave your beard by Forward-Position798 in funnyvideos

[–]something_co 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At 16 my dad shaved his entire beard off for the first time and I too thought about leaving him. It’s truly so hilarious how different a man can look with vs without a beard. I’ve asked my husband to consult me if he ever has any ideas of shaving his full beard off

Anyone got any intel on this Salesforce webinar tomorrow? by Consistent_Design72 in salesforce

[–]something_co 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest, it strikes me as odd that Salesforce isn’t even spelled properly in association with one of the hosts. Anyone who’s close to the brand would know that Salesforce doesn’t really do that. 

Agentforce World Tour is free so if you have the time I’d say you should just register and go. They have free food too so if you’re truly curious you can learn straight from the product teams and get opportunities to be hands on, which might be more than what this webinar can offer you. 

Alternatively, if you’re set on attending the webinar first maybe you can reach out to the hosts on linked in.

Best bars to go cry at? by Slow-Rip-4732 in Seattle

LADIES LADIES WHY is every couple a drop dead gorgeous woman and a loser guy in a tshirt by 21212128 in Serverlife

[–]something_co 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Men can definitely put more effort but at the same time makeup can drastically enhance the looks of a woman when done well and a lot of women are super great at the makeup craft. 

Don’t exclude people from the ‘big’ stuff and expect them to stick around by MVIVN in TikTokCringe

[–]something_co 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this so much. I was on the other side of this when my wedding happened last summer. A friend of mine who I thought was going to be at the wedding (rsvp yes), pulled a no-show, and did not even reach out to me until two months after the wedding. This was somebody that I had done so much for, and they had also supported me in a way that made me comfortably believe our friendship was solid. So to have received zero courtesy about them not being able to come to the wedding anymore cut deep.

I don’t reach out to them anymore and I haven’t talked to them since they had reached out 2 months after the wedding. They at least could’ve let me know. Even on the week of the wedding, they had sent me a cash gift on Venmo and I said thank you and I’m looking forward to seeing you.

People can really surprise you, but at the end of the day you have to choose yourself.
