She's younger and cooler than him and not """""""girly"""""" enough. It's only a three year difference but in your 20s that's some big developmental time. socially speaking. I'm under 30 but at the point where it's getting weird to see people still obsessed with party culture but he's definitely being a ninny

It's the only definition he used for functioning well as an adult. If he said she isn't able to hold down a job due to her lifestyle, I could see that being a problem.

TLDR: It's the closest I've got to "functioning as an adult".

I mean maybe it's a rare experience but I graduated with a lucrative masters and was still a bit immature when I came out of college, I earn more than my gf who has a phd and is a prof at a local uni but I don't consider that a barganing chip in our relationship. Believe you me I've done a shitton of drugs and am mostly criticizing the girl in this story based on my own experiences. I'm not gauging her against my ex'es mistakes or w/e, I'm doing it against my own.

Yeah but she's 24. When you're 24 you're still supposed to be a dumbass, and wishing she were a Stepford wife is a dark vision of what he thinks growing up is for a woman

I agree with you, I don't see it as a bargaining chip either. I did phrase it badly. I was just looking for any indication he thinks she's not functioning as an adult, but he doesn't think it's worth mentioning beyond she earns more. So I'm assuming she's fine.

I didn't like the not ladylike thing.

"help my 24 year old wife acts like a 24 year old and I'm a stuffy uncool elmer and it constantly reminds me of that fact and makes me insecure that she might leave me for someone way cooler" is how that post reads, if I'm being honest.

Nothing concrete he said gives any indication of her being immature or obsessed with staying a college kid but he definitely comes off as one of those immature people obsessed with a kid's version of Being An Adult, which mainly revolves around wearing clothes from the 50s and sneering at anyone around him who attempts anything more fun than stamp collecting.

She smokes weed even, I used to love it but now I don't, so she should stop having a medical condition that has it prescribed because it's immature.

where the gently caress does that kid version of adulthood even come from? do people really grow up thinking that life is anything but extreme freeform ad libbing? and that there's a wrong way to go about that other than "don't give others too much grief"? i refuse to believe that, just like i refuse to believe kids think adults esp. their parents are infallible. no, i dont think you were actually that big of a moron.

i will say somewhere in the 75% range of medical marijuana prescriptions are loving horsehockey and the guy's description of the girl opens the plausibility that she's not in that slim 25%.

that being said, there are worse habits for a 24 year old to have other than to rip a bowl every now and then.

Yes, many many many people have ideas like "You must own a home, have a job, and have a family" to be considered a "real" adult. Society's expectations are a hell of a drug.

This is a minor thing from a few pages ago; but a lot of prey species like Guinea Pigs etc will not show outward signs of illness or discomfort to avoid being targets. So while your dog might limp or mope about, the guinea pig will soldier on until it's about to die. Meaning the owner needs to be very attentive. Also as already said it's mostly just that who the gently caress impulse buys pets in under 24hrs ugh.

I don't think we have any information on the "validity" of her medical marijuana prescription. The description didn't seem to contain any information about that, it's a bunch of things her partner wishes were different about her. Seems like that has the same likelihood as when I had no information at all about her.

also i dont really care but it's sometimes a viable option for an anti-anxiety med, and it's objectively better for your body to be hosed up on thc than benzos so if we're approaching this from a public health perspective, there's that.

as i see it you gain 4% adulthood per year, and lose 4% childness, so by 12 and a half you are half child and half adult, and as you approach your mid 20's you are aware of and trying to preserve every last drop of childhood within you as the raw sun blasted desert of being an adult beckons you into its fearsome welcome. at which point you become an adult, but you have been a full adult for basically no years, so you still suck really bad at it
