    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    In addition to all of that, thanks to all of you, for helping to strengthen my resolve. I love her, but yes, she's a pretty shitty person. The love part and the archtypical male in me say "it's okay if you fuck up, I'll take care of you." Obviously there need to be limits to that. I won't...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It does sound like that! Unforunately Love and Like can be 2 completely seperate concepts and are not required to overlap. This is basically it. She has so far been very conciliatory on wanting to make sure everything is fair and equal. I just let her know that me losing the house would...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Exactly! I'm doing the right thing! I'm gonna walk out of this with joint custody of my kids, a 2500 sq foot house that's basically empty (and I've already got some leads on renting out some space to help with the house payment), almost an acre on a pond, and I get to continue living my life...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Well, I'm as reasonably certain as I can be about it. I often came home early at irregular times. If she has been cheating for years, she got really goddamned lucky with me coming home at random times between midnight and 3 a couple of random days a week. I don't buy it, nobody gets that...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It sure appears that way, doesn't it? Take it from me, a guy who thought the rules didn't apply to his wife - she's not yours, it's just your turn. They're all the fucking same.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I worked overnights for 20 years. My wife stated years ago that if she had known what it was like being with a guy who worked overnights, she never would have married me. That weighed heavily on me for many years. She doesn't remember this. As soon as my kids were all finally old enough to go...

    18.5 years. I get the house, she takes the debt. Joint custody of the kids. Why am I still sad about this arrangement?

    Retail Apocalypse aka The E-Commerce Thread

    It's also because every fucking retailer you go to now has a rewards program and every single fucking person out there feels they need to sign up for every one of them, but can't remember which phone number they used to sign up for it, so every transaction ends up taking 3 minutes longer while...

    I know that's a joke, but I highly doubt it's 15%. 2-3% maybe, but considering the size of sperm cells, the contribution from the testicles is absolutely dwarfed by the contribution from the seminal vesicle. Varies day by day, but there's essentially no difference before and after.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    You're saying all of this from the perspective of a guy who gets what he needs though. Remove your steady piece from the equation and you may find things changing fairly quickly once you come to the realization that it's your hand or nothing in your scenario. In that case, the random encounter...

    Blood Bowl 2

    Well, dice ARE dice. The game RNG is better than dice. Dice are biased towards certain sides much more than the game is. Maybe your problem is literally the dice? I dunno. It's also possible you're not doing anything wrong except playing Norse, where the low armor can create real streaks that...

    Doesn't sound like me. I still have my teams, don't think I played DE in either season, although I don't remember what I played after the orcs. I can check when I get home.

    Smartphones

    G5 plus is a great phone. No notification light is dumb, but it supposedly flashes the screen every so often to let you know you have something. It also responds well to you picking it up and taking it out of your pocket or something, where it will briefly illuminate the screen to let you...

    Oh, I get that, but I have a 5x, not a 6p. And my wife has a 5x, and my buddy with a 5x, we have all had ours replaced (mine twice) with another 5x. And I've moved on from Fi anyway to shittier service, but hey, at least my phone doesn't bootloop on me every time I go to the amusement park or...

    I had a 5x, but between my wife and I, we needed 3 replacements in 4 months. Moved on until Google gets their fucking shit together. I am also not interested in the slightest in paying $800 for a phone.

    My wife didn't want to be center of attention. Wedding consisted of me and her, my roommate, her mom and her sister. Total cost for us was under $100 since we just bought silver bands since she can't wear jewelry due to allergies and I can't for work. 18 years.

    My kid started a new account last week. Between that one and my alt we pulled 10 times yesterday. Fucking garbage, every single roll. When the best thing you get is a pair of Sherias, there's no point in rolling anymore. 30kmp I guess though.

    All of mine have been replaced free of charge from Google with Refurbs. I have Fi, though. They will sit on my desk as backups. They're not worth carrying around anymore.

    It's significantly easier. There weren't any real challenge type encounters in there..nothing where you need X trick or you're gonna fail. No heavy binds, only one real board change. If you burst on Sevenzard and bring a delay for the last floor, you're probably fine. I've already finished it...

    Doesn't surprise me at all, as it's something you would learn from your parents behavior. My dad was the only one working until we kids were in high school, my mom never worked a day. My mom handled the finances, and they paid off their house in 18 years, with no real particular hardship along...

    You're not wrong, and I won't disagree with you. But, money isn't everything. We'll make more. It's always a more complicated issue when you're in it. It's easy to look at everyone's life from the outside and see what the correct answer is. It is unfortunately far less easy to do when you're...

    Lessons learned many years too late! Also, it's pretty easy to hide that shit early on in a relationship. I mean, I suppose I could pull a Tolan and wait until they post their credit score.

    No, they buy designer clothes, purses, and shoes that are all exorbitantly priced for what they are. Not to mention in my experience the entire Starbucks chain is 95% supported by women buying $9 cups of whip cream daily. I dated a woman who could go to the mall and spend $4 to 5000 easily...

    In most of the country. I had to reign in my wife with an ultimatum. We had tried joint accts, separate accts, everything. Nothing worked. She simply does not consider how much money she/we make vs how much she spends. Everything is a necessity to her. It took many, many years of hammering home...

    Women control/cause/whatever 70-85% of household spending. Women just flat out require more money to live - more makeup/skin/hair care products, more clothes, more shoes, more accessories. They are the ultimate consumer. They fall victim to peer pressure more frequently and need to keep up...

    On the contrary - it's probably a defect in yours. On the whole, women are FAR more interested in spending money and the lifestyle it provides. It's rare to find one who isn't.
