EDIT: This was a reply to TJT I think you're being a little hard on yourself while thoughtfully wondering about what could have been, in hindsight. You're where you are because that's who you are. I have those same thoughts. You liked skydiving and had a relationship with a woman that suited...

Hey look at that FoH. A success story about sticking it out. Your wife stopped going to school and wanted to just stay at home. And I guess you wouldn't let her. You just made an enemy of half of this thread.

You realize you just bro hugged the dude who was screaming about his deadbeat wife for years... in this thread... because he had to pay off all her medical school loans just for her to give up and stop caring. And then actually yelled at her, while she was nagging him, because he hates her so...

Everyone talking about this already knows that they are the ones who are right. That's the problem with social sciences and all the fools who buy into whatever study that was recently done that supports their opinion. And it doesn't matter which side of the fence you fall on... you'll find...

Well if the kids aren't in school yet it's kind of hard to actually get any work done without them having some, other form of childcare (either daycare or an au pair or whatever). The world is definitely changing and at a rapid pace. COVID really changed the landscape of the workforce, forever...

This conversation is pretty much always the same, but its also always interesting reading the varying opinions. I wonder what the statistics are for people in this country who stayed in their hometowns and have extended family that are both willing and able to provide free childcare at the...

Well, I guess "disqualifying" people from having kids on that type of criteria would alleviate overpopulation issues....

I'm not really sure what your point is here. Are you suggesting most people have the luxury of saying "Hey boss, need to change my work schedule. Gotta be out by 2:30 so I can get the kid off the bus by 3"

The school day typically ends well before a work day does.

Your sister's experience is probably the exception, not the rule. Based on your info she started having kids later in life and she was already established in a career and had valuable experience, in a field that doesn't change much over time (for instance, try doing this in any technology driven...

The pancake gag in the Annie Murphy episode had me rolling.

Tax man doesn't just automatically take 35-45% off the top. If he's taking that much from a couple that's married filing jointly they are in the top ~5-10% household income earners for the entire country. It's actually very clear cut if it's just a mathematical problem for you on which course of...

Out of that trailer 2 things stuck out to me. 1) Enola Holmes 2. The first one was surprisingly good 2) The Adam Project. I don't know exactly why. But I got a sort of Flight of the Navigator vibe from the few scenes they showed, without the extra terrestrials.

Netflix movies are still mostly bad but they've gotten better. So maybe 5 or 6 of them will be good.

So I actually had a conversation with friends today who just hired an au pair. $250/week plus food. So probably 18k/yr? In CT.

That wasn't me. Unless you're calling me a bush stalker. But that's not me either. I'm more of a bush hunter. If you know what I mean.

I'm not interested in having that conversation yet again here. I'm happy to talk about relationships in general, and then giving some personal experience as examples of what shapes my opinions on that topic.

Well it was really just more of an example of the ball of wax that dating can become. People are dishonest with themselves, and then dishonest with the people they are in a relationship with, even as they get older and should be more mature. Even when it comes to major, life altering decisions...

I doubt I'd ever get married without a pre-nup which can and often does cause all kinds of other emotional turmoil in a relationship. But what still gives me pause, even with pre-nups, is from what I've read the "unforeseen circumstances" provisions can be interpreted in wide degrees. And major...

I think for most people it's probably just a series of compounding problems. It's easy to get stuck in an unbreakable loop of confirmation bias and logical fallacies in regards to dating. Instead of using past experiences as building blocks you latch on to mannerisms you may have seen in a...

Wait, Shakespeare... one of those most renowned literary figures of all time... just stole a name directly from another story and merely moved the H from the end of the name to the beginning and that's it?

I feel like dating is a bell curve of misery. In your 20s you're young and excited. The future is bright. You haven't been jaded or damaged by bad/failed relationships. In your 30s you start to become disenchanted with dating and discouraged that things aren't working out the way you thought...

"What are you doing Step Hoss?"

This was pretty good. It's got plot holes you can drive a semi through but a lot of good performances and interesting characters

Well you're really missing out. Every thread here is worth visiting

Isnt that every thread though?

Ahh, wealthysinglemommy.com bud, that article is really fucking weird. Did you even read it? Case in point. EDIT: I mean shit, she's talking about kids as if you introduce people to them with adult stipulations they'll just fucking understand. Holy fuck dude... that article. Fucking wow.

I don't understand how that shouldn't be the first thought. Why on earth would anyone just bring a young child into a new dating scenario like that? Relationships are hard enough for adults. Why put a kid through it with you?

I'm sorry Jackie but her bringing her child to meet you, especially under those circumstances, is not a good sign. And her continuing to do so before she even really knows you is really not a good sign. This has nothing to do with you, and I'm not saying you're some kind of weirdo who shouldn't...

I hope that's not a joke. You have kids right? Introducing your child to people your dating has a profound effect on a young kid. Any parent that does that before they know its serious and the person they are dating is serious about taking that challenge on is damaging the child. Attachment is...

I hope she didn't already introduce you to the kid. Most of the people here just say shit for the sake of it but if she actually introduced you to her kid before she slept with you just fucking run because it's definitely a trap. And that's not even a joke.

I post these guys from time to time but just can't get enough of them. It's spoof music done well. There are a ton of 80s sounds now from synthwave to whatever else but these guys are from Australia and as such harness much more from INXS and the like. It's not serious but it's seriously catchy.

A true cautionary tale. Thank you for being so brave and coming forward. There you have it Jackie. Do you really want to be shacked up with some broad with that many problems for the next 10 years minimum?

I would have broken up with her too.

Has Wendy ever actually managed to claw her way out of a situation? It's always Marty saving her after she severely overreaches.

I'd be surprised if his yearly expenses topped $20k

G Suite is atrocious. Just fucking awful

Well that's anti-climactic. I thought you guys were talking about moving in together.

Teams is actually a very good product because of the integration. It's also got very good multi device support.

What happened to the rich 24 year old who wanted to buy you a house or some shit?
