I'm ambivalent about the pub trivia, and don't give a poo poo about the charity race maybe i'm reading too much into how insufferable the OP is but it sounds like it was probably a good faith attempt by someone inexperienced at gaming. she was still engaging with the game's scoring mechanisms and just latched onto a suboptimal one. yes, if you're playing a really competitive tryhard game having a newbie stumbling around does throw things out of whack but you kind of dial your expectations in based on that when you invite a newbie to play and maybe pick a more casual game to enjoy with them, like... settlers of catan edit: also, he doesn't say that she was just building pointlessly long roads, he says that she "kept on trying to build the longest road" which suggests someone was competing with her. i choose to believe it was him and he's 100% mad that he let himself get drawn into a fruitless game of oneupsmanship and blames her for costing him points he feels he deserved instead of choosing to invest his resources elsewhere the holy poopacy fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Nov 9, 2021 |

hawowanlawow posted:loving around while playing board games or card games does pretty much ruin the game. I'm ambivalent about the pub trivia, and don't give a poo poo about the charity race The board/video game thing depends entirely on who you’re playing with. I play to compete, which means I’ll gently caress around if I’m way ahead or way behind, and the crowds I play with are cool with this. Dicking around from the word go if no one else is on board with that is an rear end move, and the solution there is indeed to discuss expectations and not sharing that hobby if it’s not gonna be fun for all parties. The bar trivia is the inverse, here the established group dynamic is to dick around rather than go for the prize, and insisting that no one else have fun is exactly as much of an rear end in a top hat move as the opposite. The charity bike thing is a “no one should care” scenario, which makes the OP the rear end in a top hat by default. OP is definitely the rear end in a top hat, girlfriend may have made a good faith attempt at sharing his hobbies and found they don’t work for her; I don’t think we can say for sure.

My (44 m) daughters (19 & 17 f) resent their mother and don’t want a relationship with her. My ex (42 f) thinks I should fix this.quote:My ex wife and I have been divorced for a year now. Our marriage ended because of her infidelity with male coworker of hers. Her excuse for the affair was that she had gotten bored and unhappy in our marriage. I had some serious health problems about three years ago that effected my ability to perform in the bedroom. I was also extremely depressed because I was unable to work, to have a sexual relationship with my wife and because there were times when I wasn’t even sure I was going to be able to see my daughters grow up.

I know it was wrong for my daughter to say what she said to her mom but I feel that her anger is justified. Explain to your kids that you think they should be open to having a relationship with their mom in the future, that you want that for them, and then wash your hands of it. But like, it's 100000% her own fault. Dunno why this dude is torturing himself over this when his daughters are, in fact, doing the right thing by excising someone who deeply hurt someone they love, even if that person is also someone they love. If your brother punched your other brother, or stole a large sum of money from him (unless you're theflyingexecutive), wouldn't you similarly cut them out? How is cheating different? It's a terrible abuse of a person you're in a relationship with and deserves to be dealt with accordingly. spouse fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Nov 9, 2021 |

Kind of wonder if the ex was one of those strict holier then thou people because both daughters completely cutting her off like that seems extreme even for a lovely infidelity divorce situation. There's nothing like the justified fury at someone who masquerades as a pillar of moral integrity getting caught out as a complete shitbag.

That's a whole extra level of trauma compared to a normal "Daddy left Mommy because Mommy was a cheater" situation. Those kids need some serious therapy.

There's nothing like the justified fury at someone who masquerades as a pillar of moral integrity getting caught out as a complete shitbag. Some friends of ours just got a divorce over the wife's cheating and their daughters both did the same thing. It's been 2 years and they HATE their mother still. She wasn't holier than thou about morals at all, but she is pretty mercenary (left the husband to find a "richer" husband).

IIRC the number involved was nearly a million dollars and they got it by pressuring the executor to violate her fiduciary duty. Then got all confused as to how the brother's longtime partner had a copy of the will. I hope the reason it's never been updated is that the whole family is now living under an overpass with no internet access
