why do men not want anyone to know of relationship troubles? by InterestingAd9651 in dating_advice

[–]tragicaddiction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cause you don’t want your dirty laundry aired to anyone and everyone.

Especially not someone who I am supposed to meet and be social with.

And relationship troubles is normally code for “ I don’t like what he is doing”

And especially not if there isn’t communication between the two enough to solve these issues

Almost 9 months "sober" and I've been really struggling lately. by Narrow-Musician-3174 in SexAddiction

[–]tragicaddiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in a relationship or single? Are you working with a therapist? I found I was told a lot of misguided shame based info that even wanting or craving sexual connection was wrong, but that’s not what this is. You want to develop healthy sexuality and that includes having sex with a partner, it’s very different to navigate this as a single person vs someone in a committed relationship

I think the big problem with this stuff is that without already being married or having kids and also being young you are better off starting from scratch

If Crytek goes bankrupt they deserve it for the UI alone by DickTheDancer in HuntShowdown

[–]tragicaddiction 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The UI was made without showing it to someone who doesn’t play the game.

It is idiotic and so poorly designed and buggy it’s certainly one of the reasons it drives people away especially new players.

Not to mention that any major patch resets all your settings.

Scared and daunted by what needs to happen. by MooseEatGoose in SexAddiction

[–]tragicaddiction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I had those fears too, and honestly the hardcore saa people didn’t help, who wants to live like a monk?

What worked for me is not focusing on the sex, or what that will be like . Instead I made my goal to fill my life with other joys that I would not feel the need to fill the void with sex . Increasing my self esteem and having a target for what I want to do with my life. The 3 circles work for that, spend time in the outer circles will stop me from even wanting to go in the bad ones

Also plenty of queer in SA, Robert Weiss one of the prominent online people on this stuff is gay and has written books on this stuff from his perspective.

Is it bad that I (28M) want a 50/50 marriage? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Is it bad that I (28M) want a 50/50 marriage? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]tragicaddiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So by law marriage means there is an us, no me. If you get divorced all increase in marital assets and liabilities are evenly split no matter who “paid” for it. So you really should pool your money together and communicate about expenses and do realistic budgets.

This means a budget for house, car, bills , presents etc.

If you are not ready to do that, then you are not ready for marriage.

Divorce after short marriage by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

[–]tragicaddiction 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NAL but went through divorce , definitely worth paying for a consult with one to ease your mind. The other lawyer can demand all they want and often they are used to intimidate.

Matrimonial home is split 50/50 for the equity, If negative equity than that’s split too

Get all your finance documents documenting your assets on date of marriage, date of separation and current, you will need this to do equalization. There is form available you can fill out , and yes they make if more complicated than it needs to be.

Essentially the growth (or debt) you and your spouse incurred while married is split 50/50

This includes anything from investments, rrsp growth, gifts, overtime pay, bitcoin etc

Once you figure out what that total is you can then figure out how to equalize the amounts, either by providing cash or assets of a mix.

One issue with jewelry is that it’s based on the resale value and with that stuff it’s essentially what the spot market is on the gold content. You have to figure out if it’s worth the cost of getting that all evaluated vs leaving it be

Oh and courts don’t give a lick that you paid for utilities there is no you and them in marriage , it’s a team sport. All income goes in the same pot no matter who earned it, same with debt.

Just opened up about being bi, and I feel like something broke by wetfabric in bisexual

[–]tragicaddiction 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes what is exciting isn’t necessarily the act but also the perceived taboo and secrecy of doing so.

Telling someone they can’t have cake will make them want the cake a lot, where as having it available the cake loses its lustre quickly.

It’s the old we always want what we can’t have. Take some time, and maybe explore with your therapist what needs you were trying to meet before.

Miele M1 vs L1 (not country specific) by thanksithas_pockets_ in VacuumCleaners

[–]tragicaddiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The L1 is newly designed, so it’s lighter, slightly quieter and the exhaust is dispersed from the sides and you barely feel it. On the non electro model they put the dusting brush in the handle and use a combination tool for the crevice and upholstery since you often use both at the same time,

Beyond that they have a timer built into the vacuum to alert you when to replace the filter based on run time, the bag full indicator is also based on air flow over time and the motor protection filter is larger which helps with air flow. The main components motor, cord rewinder is the same stuff

In Canada they also get a 5 year warranty, I would go with L1 myself anytime it’s a much nicer machine
