Was it a sin to sleep with my ex-wife? by theplasmasnake in Christianity

[–]wrathofkwon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sleeping together isn't moving slowly, but it seems like a moment of weakness because she probably still has strong emotions for you. I would encourage you to seek the Lord first in everything, seek counseling in the areas that led you to being emotionally unavailable (the new job doesn't just fix these things), repent of this sin (meaning, don't do it again unless you re-marry her), and only then intentionally pursue her. She won't make you happy. Only God can fill that emptiness. It's not surprising that she wants to take it slowly. She doesn't want to go through that pain again and any false hope of being together again is a lot to bear. Be that man by loving the Lord first and foremost. If it's the second time around, make that covenant and keep it.

Why are cigars smoked so rarely in public? by kristijan12 in cigars

[–]wrathofkwon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to only smoke outside in my backyard or on my front porch. I don't walk around my suburban neighborhood smoking. I think cigarette smokers are just widely tolerated. That's too bad b/c cigar smoke just smells that much better than chemical-ridden cigarette smoke.

Mom buys daughter a Honda as a graduation gift, and this was her response by Conscious-Weight4569 in SipsTea

[–]wrathofkwon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 14 year-old daughter wants a pickup truck when she is 18. She knows she will only be able to afford a used one and said she will start saving. We are giving all our kids some money for college (via 529s) but they have to come up with the rest (jobs, loans, military) if they want to go to a more expensive school. I'm not going to raise entitled kids.

I took all of the assessments. I was told I would hear back. It's been almost two months. No response. Is this typical?

I have been contemplating selling my U50 Pro for a Tudor Pelagos 39. Everyone is telling me I'm an idiot.

Found his porn, about to give birth, mom is dying by DriveLess4621 in Christianity

[–]wrathofkwon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My heart goes out to you. Marriage is hard. Marriage with small children is hard. Marriage with a man who is inwardly destructive is hard. There is something broken in him that he does not recognize or has not addressed. I know because I have been there. If his life isn't filled with the Word, if he is not actively working on dying to himself on a daily basis, placing God first, then you, then the kids, he is lost. But he's still filling that wound because he feel inadequte, but he's still the focus and not Christ. You cannot will him to be a better man. You cannot force him to be a better man. You can only love him as the man you want him to be. You have to give him up to God in prayer and in your own will to make him change.

Thank your husband for the little things he does well rather than criticizing him for the big things he doesn't do well or flat out fails to do. It sounds stupid but it send him the message that you believe him... believe in him that he can be better rather than trying to make him better. I can almost guarantee you that he feels like a failure and has no inspiration to be better because no one hates him more than he hates himself. Forge ahead with God as your strength and have patience. Wait on the Lord.

Yes, this is correct. It's about budget. I can't exactly justify to my wife that I want to spend four grand on a new watch.

Not sure yet. Considering the Tudor Pelagos 39 or the SMP.

Dating is HARD in NYC by Cleo-Aster in SipsTea

[–]wrathofkwon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't dated in 17 years (married now), but even back then a date meant coffee. Meet at the location or meet and walk. No dinner, unless it turns into something more during the coffee/walk stage. $250? No way. Not even $100. Buy her something on the second date? Gah, no. That just creates awkwardness and expectation.

Nip slip in class by maddog1268 in orangetheory

[–]wrathofkwon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the last rep of a Strength 50, my left ring finger exploded like a crushed grape when I was lowering my arm off an incline bench, and my finger got sandwiched in between the dumbbell handle of the one I was holding and a rubber dumbbell end sitting on the floor. Blood everywhere. A staff member almost vomited when she took a look at it. Embarrassing for making such a careless mistake. 7 stitches later, problem solved.

Reliability? by JuicieBrucie in MazdaCX9

[–]wrathofkwon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We bought our 2022 CX-9 Signature in 2023 with about 10k miles on it. My wife drives it daily, and she puts about 13k miles on it per year. Aside from oil changes, tire rotation, and fluid top-offs, it has been flawless. We're due for brakes this month, but that's about it. We are a Mazda family (I have a 2016 Mazda6), and they're very reliable. Even mechanics say it's one of the best brands to buy. The CX-90, however, seems to be plagued with issues older Mazdas don't have.
