Oof.

It’s easy for me to say what I would do in your situation because I’m not living it.

Since she made this decision, though, she should have to carry the weight. Your job remains the same overall, which is to act as a safety net.

Those social plan she had? Out the window. You have a baby to support now, dear, how is you resume coming along?

Lol. That’s not even big compared to some of the ones around here. The thing has a moderate leveling kit to give it more ground clearance. Douche nozzles around here easily stick on 6 inch leveling kits. Heck, I’ve seen guys take F-650s or comparable, and turn them into pickups.

I don’t get it.

I have newer honda pilot, and that thing is a boat. I only like it because kids + hockey means I need a fair bit of storage space, and it’s great in snow. I drove a Mazda 3 before kids, and was plenty happy in that.

Rand starts gathering men who can channel (Asha’man), and builds the black tower. The first man he brings to his cause is Mazrim Taim. Taim is a very strong channeler, and close rival to Rand (much like Demandred was).

There is a lot of friction between Rand and Taim as Rand gives him license to train men, and essentially anoints him to the male equivalent of the Amyrlin.

Friction continues, Taim starts training his hand picked guys who are loyal to him showing them stuff he doesn’t show others.

Eventually Taim is shown as a dark friend.

The whole way RJ is hinting that Taim is Demandred but he changed course

It doesn’t kill it. The only thing that does are RJs comments during interviews, which I choose to ignore. It’s like Gay Dumbledore.

The other one that was a major missed boat was the Taim/Demanded arc. Everything lead to it and RJ chickened out.

I’m on my 4th reread lol. Been reading them for 20 years on and off

I’m a huge wheel of time nerd. While Mat’s memories are clearly other men’s memories that got trapped in the tower of Genji, I like to think that they were all HIS memories from different spinnings of the wheel. RJ says no, but it’s my fan theory I won’t let die

Lol, you’re describing married life.

With other commitments, kids, etc there is zero spontaneity. Often planned sex falls through because someone is tired or something comes up.

If anything you’re ahead of the curve lol.

just trust us bro, no spyware in here, bro.

I don’t know if it’s any better than the other options out there, but I like tidal.

Bruh was a deer in his past life

Found the Canadian

So that’s the reason as guys age we end up hairer on our bodies and end up walking around like bald gorillas.

Depends on how strongly you value your relationship with your brother. He may be a fuckwaffle, but he is your fuckwaffle. It’s big of you setting your differences aside. If you don’t go, and he means a lot to you outside of his political views, then you might regret not going. If you don’t really care for him and political ideology is more important then dont go. I think not going is kind of crossing the Rubicon, but I don’t know the situation part from your details

20 lbs of foot long nails.

Could go with a box full of spring loaded snakes.

Bunch of spring-loaded snakes

This whole comment right here.

I was thinking the romantic interest thing right out of the gate. I like your emotional need take, too. Either way it’s not work appropriate esp. if OP has communicated their disinterest before.

I also like your direct communication prompt.

While you’re right about how HR works/how to go about it, I find HR a hammer when a finesse tool might work. OP could ask their manager how to deal with it. Not only does this put it on the radar, but it’s a bit less official, and might yield the gray zone outcome OP is looking for

As a parent, I couldn’t give two shits if you don’t have kids. Not gonna convince you. It’s your story not mine.

You’re also not going to convince me I made a poor decision.

It doesn’t matter what other people think, full stop. The world is full of people who think they know better. ignore them.
