Moridin920 posted:my friend got a job at Northropp right outta college with a decent but not amazing GPA. 40 hours a week except every other Friday off. Full benefits. $75k+ when he started (it is more now that he has been there a couple years). Nothing super sexy, nothing super flashy, but he also isn't killing himself. I'm surprised Northropp offered so much right out of college. A buddy of mine got started at Lockheed (with a decent GPA too) and was offered something on the lower end of average. I also had someone from Raytheon come speak to us for our Computer Engineering senior project course that said not to expect to be paid well if you work for a defense contractor. That being said, most of my friends and I work in tech for various companies, and none of us work over forty hours a week. I don't know how these people get suckered into that.

So fiancee sounds pretty dumb.

We have a family friend that went by a pretty silly nickname his entire adult life, then he got married and his wife made it veeeeerrry clear he wasn't to be called that anymore. I found that so weird

Well of course the Raytheon guy would say that haha. Yeah idk, he's got a pretty good head on his shoulders though.

Quite. Don't work for companies that think excess hours are productive, let alone those that make it effectively mandatory.

Nah, her reaction tells me her fiance is probably a controlling douche and has overstepped boundaries before this. Sucks but her options are counseling or cutting ties because that poo poo ain't healthy.

That dude sounds like a total fucknut but tbh I'm baffled as to how she ended up about to marry him. Like people just really do think somehow marriage will magically fix all their problems it's amazing.

quote:He finally meanders his rear end home, and she immediately loses her poo poo at him. He keeps telling her to "stop being irrational" and "think logically," to which she basically responded with "what the gently caress are you talking about, there was nothing rational or logical about what you did." He starts talking about how weddings "aren't just about the bride" (which is like -- what?! No! D is not the type of person to think that her wedding is only going to be about her!), it's about bringing family and friends together, and he can't have "people like your friends" in front of all of his friends and family. What about his professional reputation (he's some highfalutin lawyer), what will his parents think when they see her friend "with all the piercings" (she has ONE nose piercing!) and me calling her some ridiculous "black name" during my wedding speech (Look, I never use this phrase, but this is the phrase I can think of: WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN. "Black" name?! "BLACK" NAME?!) Christ, what a douche. I always knew people who don't like The Wire are terrible.

Resentment over hygiene and cleanliness is killing my attraction to my (M33) wife (F31).quote:Let me start by saying that my wife is loyal, caring, and loving to both me and our 2 year old daughter. She is a good mom and our sex life is decent (1/wk limited more by me than her). To illustrate some of our differences, she is also a super-environmentalist and whereas I’m more middle-of the spectrum in this regard. There are several things I struggle with, and all of these are things we’ve talked about. However, the talking doesn’t seem to go anywhere and I could use others' input. Here are some of the issues: this marraige... is ogre

That dude seems unhinged and I have no clue why they are together but she also sounds kind of exhaustingly quirky, maybe it's just the friend's writing style.

HOLY poo poo. I thin D must stand for "dodged a ducking bullet." If it had just been the friend with the nickname, I bet she would have married a controlling jerk and been miserable for a few years.

I don't know how to diplomatically tell him no Awn man, I was hoping op and D would finally admit their feelings for each other and use all the deposits and reservations to get extra fancy gay married, with the pierced maid of honor officiating. Also spergy lawyer ex would get caught outside in the rain and then lose a shoe and get chased by a stray dog while robotically beep booping about irrationality.

Somehow I don't think clean freaks and people who leave their urine and mentrual blood to stew all day are good together. Sounds like he should just have a serious talk with her though, but this thread might not exist if people did that.

if you need to explain to a 31-year-old why leaving little toenail troves everywhere is gross as hell you should evaluate which poor choices in life lead to your having to do that

One person I know very closely has worked two different jobs, one as a programmer at a startup, and the other as a technical writer at an established engineering firm. The pay is almost exactly the same, only at the former he worked 60-70 hour weeks (including sleeping under his desk at night), and at the latter he works 40 hours a week at a place with a good work/life balance. Somehow the established engineering firm has managed to thrive despite employing people who don't sleep under their desks. Maybe, and this is just a guess, people do better work when they don't have to sleep under their desks.

Sounds like D had a big network, so the rest of her family and friends probably wouldn't have let her marry him anyway. I wonder what fiancee was doing through all this, reading his side of the story on Reddit would probably be funny.

Holy poo poo, basically the only way this shouldn't end in a complete sever is if the moron fiancé realizes what an rear end in a top hat he's been and does a complete 180 on literally everything he did in the last week (probably longer). But that of course will not happen and she needs to drop his rear end...maybe get with the OP, she seems pretty cool. I will never understand people that will so brazenly go after their SO's friends/family like that. That guy literally poo poo on every single person she held dear all at once and somehow thought she'd be good with it?

A person makes the "It's me or--" proposition (directly or indirectly) and the answer is the thing that wasn't the "me". So often it's pets. "It's me or the cat!!" "ok. goodbye."
