Not intended as criticism, but: Oh wow, this is how you best realize there there are a lot of conservative people here :p I remember the same thread from "another forum" and the vast majority was singles, then some gf/bf level, and very few married. Maybe these people would be mentally healthier if they were married ;> I know I'd be .... maybe ....

Just my experience in knowing conservative and liberal people but many conservative people I've known were....

- Single

and/or

- Unemployed

It was usually the liberal people I knew who were in a relationship or married (and most were straight) and had full time jobs.

In fact, I've always been told liberals are lazy and want hand-outs but almost every liberal I've known were the exact opposite and we're very hard working and had strong work ethics. A lot of them don't like it when they see people lounging and not working.

I went ahead and moved the entire debate over to Thunderdome, so this thread can go back to its original purpose. Likewise, some of the replies were becoming a bit heated for a fun thread. I leave that to you guys to settle, with one bit of advice.

We're all in this together at the end of the day. Don't let a single thread create bitter lines. Ideally, people will get it out of their system, and get back to having fun with each other.

Edit: For historical documentation and lols, this thread went on a wild ride from this point forward. Continues here:

Community - Thunderdome — Prolonged Arguments and Derails go here

Look, it's kinda clear strange isn't capable of introspection or change, just treat him like the douchebag he is from now on and all will be well. If that's what it takes to satisfy you, go ahead.

I am married (third time appears to be the charm) with a 5 year old son. We dated/lived together for 9 years and got married when she got pregnant. I have two other kids from other marriages but they are grown.

My wife put more hours into Animal Crossing New Horizons than I could stand. I was so tired of looking at it. She also plays farming sims like Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons and Stardew Valley. Also the Lego games.

My son is coming along nicely and likes playing Mario Kart and the other day he beat Bowser in 3D World (the battle with Bowser in the car).

It's a shame that people think that gamers are lonely basement dwellers, the poll here shows that just isn't true.

Yup. Sometimes my brain wants to explode, when all three are talking to me literally at the same time, and they all expect an immediate answer.

Haha this so much.

I've told my wife that when all our 3 girls will go through puberty at the same time.... I'll search for a new job where I'll have to travel a lot. Like, A LOT. 😅

Joking of course, I don't want to miss one day if I don't have to.

I have been seeing a co worker for awhile now. Timeline is kinda weird because of COVID but its been long enough I gotta make the decision if I want to see where this goes long term.

I struggle with a lot in the relationship sphere after the past two relationships.

First one I was certain it was going the distance. Was the first time in my life I had zero doubts and started to somewhat believe in that "the one" bullshit. We talked about marriage and a future and all of that. Then over the course of 3 days it just fell apart. Still dont really know what happened and it haunts me a bit if I am honest.

I still dont believe in a lot of the "fairytale" type stuff but that was the only time in my life that I thought I guess it could exist.

Most recent relationship was a mistake from day 1. She ended up being a bi-polar and schizophrenic. Coming out of the previous relationship before that one put me in a place where I was not in the best state of mind and didnt have the greatest self esteem when it came to anything longer term. I was transitioning out of the journalism field and trying to find my next long term thing but couldn't land anything I felt comfortable with.

Combine that with her mental issues and she fucked me up pretty hard for awhile. Still recovering if I am honest. But I did the whole therapy thing and it helped me from making a huge mistake and agreeing to move and sell my home with her. She ended up moving for a job and asked me to go with her. Its really what I wanted from a relationship at that time but my gut told me she wasn't in the same mindset. It was convenient for her and I still to this day think she just didn't want to move her stuff and wanted someone else to do it.

But I learnt shortly after saying no she had asked her ex as well. Who also told her no. She was basically using be as a backup plan. Bullet dodged.

With the current relationship. Its going well but I am not feeling that "thing" yet. I might in time but I start to wonder if the "thing" that I don't really believe in but was almost persuaded myself into believing even exists. I have a lot of big questions like that going on in my head which are making it difficult to pin down exactly how I feel. The clock is ticking and I gotta figure it out sooner rather than later.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Trust me, you do. There is no more terrifying, vicious and downright unpleasant creature on earth than a teenage girl. Take that from an ex-teacher. A classroom full of them is basically hell on earth.

Haha I know. And I prepare for the worst. My oldest daughter with 4.5 years is already sharp as hell and vicious in her arguments. It's going to bequite the ride.

But I didn't get children to have it the easy way, I'm more than willing to endure these years of horror in order to be able to shape my daughters into decent human beings. Knowing that my influence during that time will be severely lessened of course. Which is fine, I'm going to be there for them to the best of my abilities. Fully expecting them to hate me :D

Good luck. I'm heading down that path in the next 12-18 months and yeah I hope I can shape decent human beings, though that may be hard given I'm a complete cunt. Still, a few years of teaching and perfecting the teacher voice ought to help a fair bit.

Single. I decided to not date again around age 36 or something like that. I remembered all the effort it took to date and how it was largely unproductive. Not that I'm unattractive. It is more that I get tired of jumping through hoops for people that don't appreciate it.

At 41, I've decided to open up to dating again. Been single a long while. The caveat is that I am only looking for marriage material. No jumping through hoops. Either you want me or don't. Can't be about my wallet or her insecurities.

Problem is that women my age are mostly in bad shape. Either have many kids, maybe with different fathers, tons of baggage and look 10+ years older than me. Some of them look like they've just given up. Some look fresh out of rehab. A few look in good shape but are pushing the limits of being able to have kids.

So do I date younger? I really don't like that option but it seems the only way to get a decent option. I've tried dating sites and its all the things I described above. The Christian dating sites are much better, but I get messages from what are essentially foreign mail order brides. Nope.
