How bout now?

YES IT IS

Counterpoint: potatoes are never bad and go with everything

I offer up my doggie, Sam Aloysius Doodle to comfort. I know I’m getting a doodle hug from him as soon as I get home.

That’s because kids smoke the e cigarettes today, Roberto, and thus the lines “I’ve got one hand in my pocket, and the other one’s flicking a cigarette” do not properly resonate with them as they did with angsty 13 year old Mori.

Who would have thought? It figures.

Good thing you’re here .... to reMIIIIIND them...

If they’re looking for a restorer who will work cheap...

“I don’t like the concept of monogamy, but I DO like letting my wife believe I do so she’ll be home with a hot dinner waiting for me at night, keeping the house clean and parenting my children so I have plenty of time and mental space to obsess about what else I deserve out of life.”

This. You don’t “find yourself” being a piece of human garbage. It’s a conscious choice. He chose it. He’s not a victim of circumstance, and no external power kept him from doing the only moral thing: asking his wife for an open marriage and failing that, exiting his marriage.

“But when you’re trying to hook up with a married man, that guy already has enough on his plate without having to jump through the hoops of dating.”

‪I had an unexpected affair three years ago.

Yeah this whole thing stinks. I get that people get bored with their marriages, need to spice things up, etc, but if you’re that far along, just split up. In the long run it’s better for everyone.

so that I can seek out potential pussy options

I didn’t like any of this. As someone who has been cheated on multiple times, this made me queasy. I didn't like his answers or candor about it. No I will not "find myself in this situation someday", if I am with someone and want to be with someone else, I'll end my current relationship first cuz I'm not a fuckhead.

this girl is living my dream and is being so ungrateful about it

I think I’m older than most here (43) so here goes:

I am too old for:

Being around people who use rudeness or unkindness as an excuse of “being honest” or “that’s just how I am and you have to accept it.” Calmly taking aim with the bullshit-o-meter and shutting that shit DOWN, without raising my voice, my blood pressure, or much more than an eyebrow.
