Man, power move pulling out the Diary. YOU WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT ME, NOW GO CUT THE GRASS

I mean, she helped him reach his potential, she put the work in. As long she stayed loyal, I'd say she's the best kind of gold digger.

That there is a gold investor

Gold gardener, buried it and watered it until it turned into a gold tree.

Oh neat, you saved me about 8 seconds of my life by pointing out that I could have used just two spaces. Damn shame I wasted them on this thank you.

My wife tracked me down eighteen years after we went to school together from second to fourth grade. She always liked me a lot (not really sure why). But yeah, she is the chillest most down to earth person and I'm glad she went through the effort.

Second to fourth grade you must have done something right to draw her back in EIGHTEEN YEARS later. holy cow I'm jealous of a second to fourth grader

Hey, I pulled off something similar. She let me read her diary so I know it wasn’t bullshit.

In the last couple years after a decade of sharing a life I caught her cheating multiple times and I gave up and rolled out.

I must not have been near as rad as she thought I was.

Don’t pity me though. Life is good now. Even if it all falls apart on me again with this one, it’s been a wonderful experience.

That’s the way it goes. If we all hit the lottery, money wouldn’t be worth shit. I take what I have when I have it with a smile on my face. I have a nervous breakdown when I lose it all and I start again. What else can you do?

I must not have been near as rad as she thought I was.

Nah, it's she who wasn't as rad, her cheating says everything about her and nothing about you.

Good perspective though, all we can do is try to roll with the punches so might as well try to enjoy it.

Some women look at a man and think:

...I can fix that...

Though they're more likely to think:

Oh please... I'm not a miracle worker

One of my wife's high school teachers said to marry a nerd. My wife didn't mention it to me until after we were married, so at first I was kind of offended. But then again, I still feel like my wife is out of my league, so I suppose I should go and thank that teacher.

News just in: Anon wrote the Electron app you despise.

She's a keeper. Not that you ever had a say, but still...

[–] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My story didn't end with me marrying her but she told me after she broke up with me a decade ago about how she's always attracted to people smarter than her in the given context of her life, but then she did also kiss me a couple times in between relationships (we were neighbours until recently), so I guess she did like me more than just that but it was damn hard for me because she was my first love and my second "love" didn't pan out at all.

Fingers crossed a third love works out, as much as currently my second "love" is still on my mind.
