It's a bc shot

Thank you. You can tell that I am clearly new at this.

Even at 18 I was self aware enough to let him know that a great housewife & home maker was just not in my DNA. He loved me just as was, and to this day buys me power tools over flowers for my birthday.

My mom is brilliant & ambitious. My dad is traditional in a subconscious way, he didn't know how to be an active partner & parent. I don't think he thought it would bother him if my mom was the breadwinner, until it happened. He used to joke that if she made more than him that he would retire and be a house husband. Then she did make more and he resented the hell out of it. It was as though his self worth was attached to his paycheck. I still think it's weird.

I'm proud of my spouse who makes more than I do, and as a CPA I do pretty well.

You're a good apple. I think that's what people say when people are cool and kind.

 

[MindYaBitness]

Tonight mine are pineapple.
But don’t worry it’s not on pizza (even though I don't hate pineapple on pizza)

Cocaine Pineapple has entered the chat

I've also been called a badass superhero....

My wife decided to marry someone completely unlike her father, then tried to change me to be more like her father. It was a frustrating 29 years for the both of us.

"How on earth have they not banned me yet?"

Someone probably on vacation....

I tried so hard not to marry my father, than in many ways I've married my mother

I vote for the latter.

You also fall into this category.

Are you feeling better today?

I am, thx for asking.

 

[UnquietDreams]

I'm proud of my spouse who makes more than I do, and as a CPA I do pretty well.

I worked hard with my wife to get her through grad school. I joked I went from sleeping with a college student to the professor.


(Of course it was less funny since we were in the sexless part of the marriage...)

Regardless, I am proud of my ex for what she went through to be what she wanted.

Random thought: I'm at this awkward intersection of hungry and not hungry, ears itching, and wanting to put on socks. I also sometimes think that hell is other people, but also it's not bad to be around other people sometimes, and can make me feel better.

So are the socks for your ears?
Or your feet?
People are often idealized as places.... I get that completely....
Sometimes I can't stand when my skin touches me... And sometimes I'll throat punch you if you enter my bubble....
Others I'll gladly pick you up and carry you through the trenches... Depends on the day and the person....

Yes. I hate people getting in my bubble. Sometimes I want someone to, though. Sometimes I wish someone could gently peel away my layers. I promise there is something nice underneath it.

Also, the socks are for the cold feet!

I get that

Sorry. I was trying to pay attention... It was just... Ooh bother...

It was great. In fact, it was perfect.

Pour skittles in one bowl, m&m’s in another. Don’t look when reaching in and grabbing several. Eat. Enjoy. Don’t overthink it.

Hush now .. there's meds for that these days
No way would such a travesty occur in my world. But you do you ...

I feel like a fun game would be buying a color sides di and rolling to see what color you pick from each bowl....
Skittles, ms , smarties, now and laters...
Runts... Bottle capes...
Whatever your poison be ...

I have a Lego collection, my hobbies are carpentry & creatively setting fires, and while no one would ever accuse me of having a limited vocabulary, my favorite word happens to be fuck. Despite the great cleavage, in many ways I'm not particularly feminine, But I somehow still attracted a mate. It's about balance.

And I will say this, my spouse and I are high school sweethearts. What attracted me to him was, of course, his looks to begin with, but also that he was funny & very kind. He never fit the jock stereotype, never bullied, very inclusive, loves kids and went to college for elementary Ed, he begged for children (I initially didn't want any) and is an all around slap in the face to the alpha bullshit you hear these days. Liked that I felt both safe in his arms, and never feared that he's use that strength to hurt me, intentionally. I'm grateful that in many ways our son is just like him, and as a result does not want for female attention attention.

Just my perspective on the topic.

Exactly this
All of my exes have been so called betas in that they don’t feel the need to show how macho they are, and all would actually be alphas if what the stereotypes valued was intelligence, depth, compassion and humor

Sure would be nice to have someone to do a little making out with tonight.
