between this and removing the 20% off pre-orders, there’s no reason for me to stick with prime. this just reeks of a big corporation that just wants profit and not to foster a community

It’s not free if you’re paying for the service.

Good! Between Twitch, YouTube and now Steam making their streaming service more legit, the competition in the market should help keep the companies too dickish!

At very least, the extra attention has brought to her some prospects, and she realized she *liked* some of those prospects.

This is the part where he’s definitely treating her like a crazy woman.

Naw. Nobody wants to hear about reality. It’s too painful.

True.

I wonder why? Couldn’t be because what they said is true, could it?

Seriously. Marriages end. People grow apart. Sometimes they go on far longer than they should. 15 years means dick if they were unhappy for 10 of them. This is a dumb fuckin take.

Congratulations. I just feel like I should prepare you for this in advance: your kid will probably think your video games suck. My kid does. He wants to play the games the other kids his age (12) are playing.

Maybe not, but don’t get too excited about getting him or her into Minecraft, for instance. You may just be…

I also know people who had kids before they were financially prepared and are broke, unhappy and struggling. It’s wise to wait until you’re ready. She sounds like she’s ready to jump into having kids without really understanding how ungodly expensive it is ... and he seems to be frantically trying to pump the brakes.

Something a coworker going through a divorce once said to me seems appropriate to #1's situation, and agrees with the Doc’s point.
My coworker basically said that she spent the last 5 years of her life working on herself. She started working out, she reconciled with her Mother (and was back in her life), and went back…

Surprised the Doctor didn’t go into this - that level of control would actually scare me.

#1 is a case where I wish we had more details. Possibly no one was at fault, but it seems like a bad sign when someone in a long-term relationship is surprised by the breakup.

Man, I’ve heard so many theories about parenting and when to have a kid and I’m seeing a lot of it repeated here. There are tons of advice that may or may not really be good advice. I honestly hate being told there is no good time to have a kid. First of all that doesn’t mean there isn’t a bad time to have a kid.…

He’s formerly married to a fox with zero body warmth, not sure what part is confusing you.

Congratulations on your tiny nerdchild :)

I think a lot of young men grow up with the healthy notion that there are no such thing as leagues, and that people simply match up differently and this includes different tastes in physical appearance. But then one Sunday afternoon, they’re skipping channels on the TV and happen upon A League of Their Own. Unable to…

I think the theory part of kids is realer than real - like, it’s such a big life change that Im pretty sure no amount of headthinking can actually sess out whether you ACTUALLY want it or not, but can only find out once you start getting to the (ahem) action.

First letter writer. I have a co-worker whose marriage and relationship had the EXACT same trajectory as yours. Follow Harris’s advice, mourn and move on.

Do not do what he did which is don’t let it go. Then willingly pay most of her bills and car payment in a misplaced hope she’ll come back while in the meantime…
