Everyone has something they are insecure about, it's just a natural part of being human I think it's much more socially acceptable to talk about them now than it was say, 20 years ago. However it is still viewed as a sign of weakness and others in your life may not want to deal with that. Many people are depressed, have…

What is so wrong about what she said? I grew up in a single parent household and I'm sure @CaptainFantastic01 would agree with me, it sucks. Marriage is fluid to some degree over time but it's core remains the same, a lifelong commitment between 2 people. Common Law marriage started as a way for government to stick their…

Yes, yes I do I'm sorry if you took it that way, wasn't accusing you of being so. Prenups are toilet paper and regularly get thrown out of court... unless you're somebody famous than flip a coin if it's honored or not.

If a book is telling you margarine is cleaner than butter then you need to throw that book out. I love to use Kerrygold butter but I only really use it for cooking sometimes and on popcorn.

Whenever I see that one I just laugh. Go through basic then airborne jump training and after that you can tell me you did the military diet.

I'm 44 and I'm still young, don't start that middle age crap with me.

I always weigh in the morning after exercise and shower but before breakfast. I can fluctuate as much as 5lbs between morning and before bed.

Sounds like alot of fun, let me ask you... Do you drive those mud bogging trucks on normal roads and rev your engine just to scare those of us who drive Sentras? Just let me be clear, it's not what you own but how you use it. If you're intimidating other people, being a d and a bully well, stud chipmunk. All the stuff you…

Unless you're in Saudi Arabia, most divorce courts rule heavily in favor of women these days. I had a friend of mine and his wife cheated on him, when he found out she had him Baker Acted and after he came back she was gone. During the divorce she lied about abuse, etc and he got taken to the cleaners financially. 2 Days…

The more I listen to you, the more I'm convinced you're just trying to rationalize and affirm why you're not married. If you don't want to get married, then own it man, run with it, only you can determine your own happiness but for those of us who are happily married, don't pee on our legs and tell us it's rain. I'm happy…

Men Going Their Own Way, basically unplugging from marriage and sometimes women altogether. At it's best, it's a realization you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of someone else. At it's worse it's anti feminisim and a hatred of all women. For me I got tired of the lies, deceit and greed I was finding…

I don't know what age you are but it sounds like you're pretty young still. I thought like you do when I was in my 20s and pretty much went MGTOW before it was a thing because all I had seen around me were a string of failed marriages. I was 32 when I met my wife and I just knew she was the one, and yes there is a deeper…

The only betting I remember is my mother's side of the family betting I would be divorced within a year.

Because my wife and I are Catholics and wanted to spend the rest of our lives together without extramarital sin. Also I wanted to give her the opportunity to move to the US and become a citizen.

Funny enough the name of that stuff is "Go Lightly". There's nothing light about it. You feel like you're being sucked inside out through your *kitten*.

They don't put the same sugar substitute into them these days so the laxative effect isn't as bad.

Well I never eat back my exercise calories because I don't trust mfp's calorie burns. Maybe it's time to get a fitbit that i can synch to mfp

I live in Jacksonville, Fl and as soon as my wife left for Alaska on June 3rd I turned off the aircon and haven't turned it on since. It's quite comfortable for me and after a week or so your body adjusts quite well. Temps are in the 80s maybe 90 the past week with afternoon storms most days.

I remember in the 80's it was the rage for a short while to wrap yourself in cling wrap under your clothes then go on a run... sheesh

[quote="_Deadman_Walking_;c-42275712" In my house I do all the laundry, all of the cleaning, all the outdoor duties, and all of the household stuff like painting or repairs. I get up with the baby as often as my wife, we share the cooking and dishes chores, and she handles the bills and groceries.... Does this make me a…

I had anxiety/PTSD after spending a year as as a civ contractor driving water trucks in Iraq. When I met my wife and inlaws I finally had the support and understanding to transcend the panic attacks. I still don't like loud noises or large groups of people though. Finding people willing to offer support and understanding…

That is so cool! You are the best mom!

Depends on the context. Simple things, I like affection, a simple hug and a thanks makes us feel great. *Note, hugs are only appropriate if in a committed relationship. My wife is the same way, stubborn and never wrong. It forces me to concede and play diplomat in our relationship, tactics I learned after years of abuse at…

Guys like that are easy to spot, they have a normal truck and drive like normal people. If you have a jacked truck with tires taller than my car and drive like an *kitten* then you may be hung like a stud chipmunk.

I know I was joking. Point1 yes, agree totally. Point 2, yes, you just need self confidence. Some women are chameleons and you don't see their true colors until they move in. You need confidence to do what needs to be done in that situation.

Back before Google Maps and Waze I never had a problem asking for directions.

Angry much? Part of it is because many men are just big kids who need affirmation from mommy. The other part is there are plenty of women who take advantage of a self starter man to sit on their can and contribute nothing to the household.

Big truck and mean to girls? That describes over half the men in my town.

Since I am the one who does all the cooking, cleaning, dishes and laundry then my wife doesn't get to complain. If she tries I just give her "the look" and walk away.
