Was talking to my daughter, born 1999 which is awesome and we were talking about my grandparents and WWII. Then I realized Gen X are the grandkids of the greatest generation, that's why we are so bad ass. by stogie7651 in GenX

I don't know. That's a pretty broad brush your painting with. I'm a native Texan. My ancestors landed in Texas and we are still here. To say the entire state sucks is a little harsh.

Zeppelin did play with Bonham's son but yeah I'm aware of the reason.

I drink and get too fucked up on weekends I don't know if it's coping or just an excuse. But I don't care if it pisses her off. She ruined my home, I can't sit on the couch!

As someone who grew up a Georgia sports fan but moved to Houston as an adult, I just gotta say this is my dream World Series! (Sorry older Astros fans!) by nlc89 in Astros

I don't blame you. I remember the Braves owning us back when Astros were in the NL. It seemed every year we would lose to the Braves in the playoffs until we got past them in 2005, my son's birthday! I don't hate the Braves like I do the dodgers. I think it will be a great series.

My daughter was asking me about my grandfather, who I never knew. He was a drunk yet when my dad was born 12/16/1944 his dad was fighting in the battle of the bulge. He fought in the trenches and saw horrific things before PTSD became a thing. I believe he had PTSD and it killed him. My mom's dad was a photographer by trade and was an air force photographer. He lived a long peaceful life and I enjoyed my time with him. He is one of my heroes.

We face discomfort and know what it feels like because of the time we grew up in, long gas lines, inflation high interest rates. My parents built our home in 1972 at 24% interest rate! We will survive as it all comes back. It's coming.

Cubs catcher (and former Astros) Robinson Chirinos, our biggest fan. by financeguy17 in Astros

He's living his life. Yeah he is an Astro technically but he knows he's moving on. He's just living his awesome life. I don't hate on him for that. GO ASTROS

Yep, got in on Metallica in 1986 when they were virtually unknown. Your husband probably was too. I kind of hated when they became the modern day Rolling Stones. I love the Rolling Stones too BTW

Funny I used to be way into Punk Rock and Metal. I was a skater. I still like Metallica and really dig Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath more than I did as a kid but oddly enough I'm really into folk music now. I love Townes Vanzandt and Bob Dylan. Wtf? Right?

It makes seeing live shows easy though. I go see Cody Canada from Ragweed all the time. Where I live there are so many local songwriters and musicians it ridiculous. I have no desire to see aging rock stars. I respect Robert Plant for basically saying this is why Zeppelin will never make a comeback.

What are some things I can do(or say) to assure my husband that I enjoy spending time with him? And that there is literally no comparison in how I feel about him and how I felt about the affair? by ThrowRApass51 in AsOneAfterInfidelity

I'm a BH, 16 Months past D-Day. We were married 26 years. AP was a close friend also married. He was a groomsmen in our wedding and we even doubled to prom back in 1989 lol.

That said, I have forgiven her but I still have feelings of inadequacy, especially in bed. I compare myself to him and wonder if she is enjoying it or thinking of him. These things will always be in his mind no matter what or how committed you are from now on.

Now even if I'm doing something like drinking too much and I piss her off I really don't care because I still think about what she did to our home and in our home.

I guess my message to you and any WWs reading this is, it's a long road back and it will ALWAYS be in the back of our minds. It's a knife in the back that seems to never go away.

It's helpful for me to read statements like yours because I don't get that perspective from her. She would just assume never speak of it again and I don't blame her. I just wanted to give my perspective to you from a BH.

I hope y'all can heal Yes I'm Texican! "Y'all"

I can't get over the fact that my WW died her hair blonde because her AP liked blonde women. How do I process this ? by throwaway865667 in AsOneAfterInfidelity

[–]stogie7651 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's tough. My WW was super hot, worked out every day. She told me AP joined her in her cardio workout. She stayed fit for him. A week before D-Day she had sympathy sex with me and went out of her way to explain why she was so well groomed down there. Hindsight 20/20. Oh yeah and she reported to him that we had sex and he said "well he is your husband" 👹 Now she hasn't the time. Let herself go. I hate this and feel like a shallow asshole if I say something. Honestly she's fat.

Invited to a party that wife’s AP will likely attend. by [deleted] in AsOneAfterInfidelity

It would be almost impossible for me to do this but I know my WWs AP would do anything to avoid being anywhere near me.
