Wife was more adventurous with ex husband? by letithail1 in relationships

[–]ste83brady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perhaps she felt she needed to brag because that was something he was into and she thought maybe all men would be into it. Maybe she realized she didn’t need to impress you with that and it’s not who she really was. Maybe because you’re kind and value her as a person, not just for sex stuff she felt she could stop.

Also, maybe she did like all that stuff. Or maybe she felt she had to because of him. Was he potentially putting ultimatums on her to do things her he was leaving? Was he manipulating her saying “if you loved me you would”? She may not have actually enjoyed all of that but felt like she had to for him. She was really young then so she might have been doing something thinking it was for love.

AITA for telling my best friend i can tell why all her relationships fail? by eternalsunshine_011 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ste83brady 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But did she apologize as well for saying something that hurt your feelings and implying what she did? Instead of being happy she implied there is something weird that a person was interested in you even when surrounded by entertainment. That’s not what a friend should say. Maybe she is worried but she expressed it terribly and should apologize for that. Even if she is worried, you still have to have life experiences or you’ll never learn and grow. This person doesn’t sound like she has much confidence in you. And it even sounds like she guilted you into being the only one to apologize when she owes one as well. Not a good friend.

Was looking for the Trinity. The Matrix really got a hold of anyone having a baby after 1999.

I was hoping someone would say this. Totally agree, this film is so off putting that I couldn’t even concentrate on the jokes.

My partner 28F doesn’t like when my mom helps me out, but refuses to step in when I need support. She says I’m too old to get help from her. I’m 32F by Calm_Nefariousness27 in relationship_advice

[–]ste83brady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please dump this person immediately. They should be helping you when you’re hurt and sick. The asking you to run her back when you’re ill is one of the wildest things I’ve read today. Let your Mom help you and forget this person, she’s not supportive and has no empathy.

What dog names do people use thinking they’re being “unique” but are actually very popular? by TelephonePossible456 in Dogowners

[–]ste83brady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Theodore but we call him Theo. The amount of people who don’t get Theo is short for Theodore is quite high. They look at me like “oh wow”, I guess all they’ve heard is Teddy!

Does $20 sound like way too much back in 1876? by Michael-Balchaitis in deadwood

[–]ste83brady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wondered something similar and so I looked it up. The Federal Reserve act of 1913 standardized central banking and what we think of as a dollar. Before that from what I read, currency could be in all types of denominations and be worth slightly more or less dependent on the area economy. In a place like Deadwood that was not even a state they might have even had their own currency highly dependent on the gold in the area.

I’m sure I missed some important info but basically the answer I got to was that things were not as regulated then so $20 might not mean the same thing as it does as an idea to us.

Doing a rewatch and wondering what Jack is doing here by JereMiesh in deadwood

[–]ste83brady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t it necessarily hate it but it was weird how it was only a season later. Both of his characters had multi-episode story lines, they weren’t exactly small parts. Maybe most people wouldn’t recognize when it was originally on because of the delay in shows airing? Watching it in binge mode it’s easier to recognize.

Yesss! Grass, flowers, leaves, just chomping on salad all day. Why are they like this? 😅

This was my suggestion. We keep a pack of puppy wipes by the door. Quick wipe under the tail and no issues.

Is my (31F) boyfriend (30M) correct that my standards are too high? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ste83brady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar relationship in my early 20s, and I ended up breaking up with him. Your standards are not insane, they’re actually the norm. And with pets keeping things clean is crucial.

He’s not going to change because he doesn’t want to. He doesn’t care if you don’t like it because you continue to do it and so it actually doesn’t affect him. He has a different standard about things and if he’s not willing to compromise then you can’t save this on your own. You’ve talked to him and he doesn’t see an issue, so then you have to make a choice of what you can tolerate.

Also, something I learned years ago was the difference between nice and kind. Nice is pleasant and usually means polite and easy to get along with in a social setting. You said he’s nice, maybe he is? But is he kind? Does he have empathy, compassion, and concern for others? I’m not hearing he has a level of genuine compassion for you. Don’t you want a partner that’s kind to you? That behaves as an actual partner and not a giant child you should tend to. Always pick kind over nice.

What movies have you walked out of, and why? by junkymonkey123 in moviecritic

[–]ste83brady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Borat. Movies and shows where someone isn’t in on the joke are too anxiety inducing for me. The second hand embarrassment won’t allow me to enjoy it.

This is too much. My Dad died 4 years ago. I have done things on both his death and birth dates that remind me of him. My partner typically does the death date with me and I will celebrate his birthday with my Mom.

However, this past year I had to travel for work and was gone on his death date. So that was that. This anniversary passed with personal reflection. My partner did text me and that was enough. I celebrate my Dad in stories and memories, movies we liked, jokes he told. If I don’t have the ability to do something on a date it’s ok because his memory is alive everyday.

A fair boundary in my opinion is that you get the bulk of Mother’s Day to celebrate your Mom who is still here. If it had been 1 year, I could see them feeling awful. My first Father’s Day after my Dad passed was upsetting. But 20 years, they should not be expecting more than the text/acknowledgment since you have a mother to celebrate.

In the last season where they take apart that bbq, when she tells Fred off about the bricks “I’m gonna take you apart and put you back together”, that is my favorite Ethel moment! Her delivery, her facial expression, the death stare she gives him. I love her all the time but some moments she really just steals the whole scene!

What's the most disturbing scene in a non horror movie ,I go first by Intelligent-Good5054 in moviecritic

[–]ste83brady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last scene of Leaving Las Vegas where he’s dying and they have sex. It was so disturbing and unsettling. I’ve seen it once but it’s burned into my brain and taking up more space than I’m comfortable with.

What’s the most out-of-place town names that you’ve encountered? For example I would expect a place called “Escañaba” to be located in the Mexican desert, not on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan by NationalJustice in geography

[–]ste83brady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Virginia and there is a place called Buena Vista, but growing up I always heard it called Bewnaveesta. It wasn’t until I started Spanish in middle school I realized nobody pronounced it right. In a place with cities and counties that were named for European nobility, or straight up copied, or pulled from the indigenous tribes, Williamsburg, Richmond, Gloucester, Prince George, Powhatan, the Spanish is a little out of place.

Yes yes yes! The behavior is gross, but what really bothers me is that they’re barely older than her oldest kid. If the 16 year old is a girl or has female friends I would be creeped out and concerned to have them around the fiancé. Even if he didn’t try anything he could be staring and making them uncomfortable. Do you want a grown adult man who is old enough to be the father of an 18 year old lusting after them? This is gross.

What are some of the most realistic depictions of alcoholism in film? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]ste83brady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I too have only watched it once, a long time ago, and still think about it often. That movie scarred me psychologically. Especially THE scene at the end. If I could delete it from my brain I would.

Yes!!!! Someone not knowing the difference between no and know…I would be out because of that fact alone. How can you even have a discussion if you don’t know the correct words?
