Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Uhhh, you might be marriage counsel or something.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, OP, you should definitely offer marriage counseling services. As a twice-divorced guy, I'd certainly sign up.

Depending on how bad it is, I'd definitely try to pull something like this. Its blunt and funny enough to be a way to start conversation again. It's not really about the money, it's a means to engage. Your character and delivery are key, so it's not a formal attempt, more of a playful attempt.

I hope it helped!

Next step. build her a fort in the living room. Tell her it's just for her, but she may also invite you in to her fort. Give her Fort space, and she may give you Fort company

Bonus points if there’s pie

I'm gonna have to say that this all depends on what you did to piss her off...

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

hasn’t talked to me since Monday.

I would normally interpret "we're not friends" to be joking, but not if it lasts more than a couple minutes. If real, it is the end of the 4th day for OP, going on into the 5th.

Whatever happened, it wasn't something good. Offering someone money to like you probably won't improve one's social standing. Not to say almost a week of the silent treatment bodes well for problem solving, either.

Without knowing the full story, @cRazi_man, maybe the two of you should at least think over seeing someone? A lot of couples see it as a last resort, so they end up waiting til there's basically nothing to save before trying to do something about it. This is...a concern.

I think it depends on the prior history.

This is a GOOD idea if he frequently told her "I'd give you my last dollar."

This is a BAD idea if his catch-phrase is "they're cheaper than a 10 dollar ho."

Yeah dude, are you working on the underlying reasons behind all this,

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

y i k e s my man.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We will be wanting updates on how that went.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wife here (not OP’s), the low effort effort is high effort in its own way and I approve Please tell us the infraction though!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Sure, OP, leave out the most important parts.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

What did you do?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

At this point she's just mad at you for reacting like you are.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

You could just apologize?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I hope this is a joke

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Welcome to the single life, my friend

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

What’s on page 2 OP? I see that PTO

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Just roll a joint and put it in the poem

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's adorable! I'll be your friend if she won't! Not in a wifely way, more along the lines of some random dude from the states that you can say is your friend!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey man, only you know your wife and friend. I'm sure you got this.
