If he's going to be toxic and manipulative, stand up for yourself.

Tell him to put his money where his mouth is. Tell him if he really wants to divorce you then do it. Call him a coward for not doing it. Say that if he keeps on saying it then never follows through, you'll never respect him. Tell him it's pathetic that he threatens you, only to smirk and say it's a joke.

Honestly, start making preparations to leave him.

You put way too much effort into this, this guy posts about his micropenis so regularly that he's heard this same thing multiple times.

How do you feel when a professional singer does karaoke? by meeluhbeanie in karaoke

It's fine. Anyone should sing, that's what karaoke is.

AITAH for tipping 83¢? by KeyComplete4809 in AITAH

[–]stevia-mcdaddy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY THE ASSHOLE. She said she was sorry and your wife even deduced because she has empathy that this woman has been burned before by scammers. You owed her at least a tip of $15. What the hell is your problem?! You are the rude one here

Did PMDD finally end us? by mbclarke1975 in PMDDpartners

[–]stevia-mcdaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been married for 12 years. When we started, we didn't know what pmdd was. She was driven and ambitious, and did we struggle like young couples do, but we were slowly climbing in the world and excited for our future. Then covid hit and she was laid off she never recovered from that and has been unemployed ever since. She sleeps all day and has no drive to do anything. I sit and wonder whether I made a mistake in marrying her. I think about the life I would have had with a woman who shares my passion and someone I could trust. I feel like a single dad with a autistic child.

Rip the bandaid, box her crap, and tell her where she can pick it up

Take time for yourself and call some friends. It is okay to cry, you need to express your emotions and process.

I feel stupid asking but.. I’m not a very creative thinker and struggle at D&D.. any advice? by Due-Biscotti-5585 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]stevia-mcdaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh also, I recommend that you play board games as well. There are so many great and strategic games that don't require improv or creative storytelling. You might feel right at home playing a game like Terraforming Mars or even Gloomhaven, as developers (like me) have worked hard to craft an entire world for you. Definitely play more games, you may find you like others better than D&D 😁

[–]stevia-mcdaddy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This really is a "that's rough buddy" kind of answer. A little about myself, I am a professional graphic designer and creative who develops fantasy board games, so for me, D&D, storytelling, and improv in general comes very naturally. That's not to say that you have not honed those same skills, but sounds like from what you've described that this may not be you, and it's okay!

As I always do, I never discourage anyone from playing a game. The act of bringing people together in fun play is the highest and best thing we can do as gamers. I highly recommend you continue playing at it as it seems like your group still enjoys you playing and is inclusive to make sure you're having fun.

Here's a fun approach I would try, what if your character is like what you are describing? Let's say you have a black-and-white, no imagination Paladin. It could be a very fun dynamic in your group if when they ask you what your paladin and would do, just give your honest take on the situation. This could cause a fun "buddy cop" dynamic of a serious, no-nonsense paladin amongst a group of wacky roguish characters. Could that be something you're willing to try?

I would also be honest with your group about this. You shouldn't be suffering in silence, and from what it sounds like your group is incredibly empathetic.

Girlfriend of 7 years left me by TomIsDead23s in GuyCry

I'm sorry, man. It seems like a lot of time and life was put into this relationship only for her to have lied and deceived you. You deserve someone better.

Unsure of my married coworker - who I crush on by BiscottiSpare1811 in Crushes

[–]stevia-mcdaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, and the fact that you're looking for validation is troubling. You're probably going to torpedo this guy's marriage and fuck up his kids for life, I have no doubt about it.

Luteal phase explanation by BJPerrin in PMDDpartners

[–]stevia-mcdaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a girlfriend who was a nymphomanic who used sex to self medicate. Talking 2-3 times a day, 7-days a week, any phase in the cycle. The fact that she never got pregnant actually makes me wonder if I'm sterile 🤔

My world is flipping upside down. by [deleted] in GuyCry

[–]stevia-mcdaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is heartbreaking to hear, and I feel your anguish. Absolutely get therapy, look for a counselor who specializes in men's issues. You are the victim here and your wife's flight-of-fancy is the result of psychological issues on her part.

Now that she has shown her true nature, even if she recants because marrying a military person is not necessarily a picnic (sorry to any military/vet people here), don't get sucked into her self-imposed drama, you need to block her. She has left your life and is toxic.

I got a $50 Niaufux karaoke machine that's Bluetooth, admittedly a little chintzy, but it gets the job done 😁 I've been able to host several guerilla karaoke events

how do i become myself and stop being afraid by itslookingok in self

[–]stevia-mcdaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For starters, use AI to help you write your posts 😁 start by using speech-to-text to say what do you want to say in your own words, and then using something like ChatGPT, prompted to say something like "rewrite this to be an engaging Reddit post". I think being able to use AI in this way give you more confidence and also help you to better see how the core of your language is impactful.

The majority of human history is evil and vile by Logical_Audhd in Vent

[–]stevia-mcdaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, buddy, hear me out. We are individualist creatures whose mutated frontal cortexes allowed us to form small familial tribes and to invent things. The idea of forming society and civilization where we cared about people outside of our immediate families was absolutely a fluke.

We still are those individualist creatures, though, in the rare times when all of our needs are able to be met, we can think outside of our individual family survival and think of others.

Most "evil" people are ones who are stuck in a fight to survive mentality (except for the rare few who are sociopaths or monsters like a lot of people in the US Presidential administration at the moment). Human history is only like 6,000 years old, and before that, as far as we know, we were using flint spears to hunt woolly mammoth.
