She sends it to me every time she has that conversation. It’s how I know new girls have started working with her.

      I’m not a fan of judging/shaming others for their hobbies/interests, so it always makes me a bit sad when the defense mechanism is to try to flip the aggression on the other side, trying to shame the “normie” interests.

        Nah, it’s the aggressive tone and the GIANT anime picture “edgy” that cringes me a bit, + the “Karen” + the “your man cheats on you”, as if us nerds don’t cheat (which to be fair, might be a bit true, but there are a lot of exceptions)

          Yeah, I’m not disagreeing with you. I am focused on the aggression in particular: trying to flip things around to where the defense is a counterattack. Which could be OK in some instances, but the post itself equates having other interests (like, uh, socializing in person) as cheating.

          Elsewhere in this thread OP is condescending towards “sportsball” and “clubbing,” which reinforces my point that he’s not talking about defending his own hobbies and interests, or even attacking judgy people who should mind their own business, but more interested in attacking others for having hobbies and interests inferior to his own.

          In my eyes this is all cringe for those reasons.

    Asked a guy I was on a date with if he liked Lego, and he straight-up laughed in my face and said “No, I’m not 7.

    There are no single openly nerdy dudes in my area. Makes me sad.

    (well, it actually makes me happy that cool people have successfully escaped this hellhole of a town and are probably living much happier & more fulfilling life)

    One can’t judge a relationship on an image alone but… there’s a few redflags on this one. I hope for you they’re false alarms.

      It’s literally a way to test the cheater waters. If someone calls you their work wife/hubby, their dtf and probing you. They just know they shouldn’t be because you’re fucking married.

    What adult cares what another adults spouse does in their own free time? Why is someone’s wife having so many conversations about this? So often they have to make a cringe “meme” to respond to these supposedly frequent conversations? Why is this persons wife straight up attacking other women and saying their spouse is unfaithful as if that is somehow the obvious outcome of thinking Lego is nerdy or whatever the point was

    This is made up

    Lol I love being poly. I love watching people freak out when I tell them my love has a date. “OMG what if they leave you???”

    I mean… I’m getting laid plenty myself and if that’s what they need then I want it for them. That said, I love her so much, I’m pretty comfortable sharing and everyone wins.

    You can hear the gears grind 😌

      This is one of those “a fish trying to understand a horse” situations, but as long as there’s consent all around and everyone’s happy; GLHF.

    I’m glad you guys are happy, but I’d want the foundation for trust to be my dedication to my partner, rather than my lack of ambition to socialize irl. -Ideally, and obviously things are rarely ideal.

      Oh for sure. And we do. I believe her agreement with the meme stems from the fact that my hobbies and interests don’t lend themselves to creating cheating opportunities. I mean I’m sure there are Lego Hoes out there, but they aren’t looking for my face/lack of funds.

        I’ve told my wife that I’m going to strip clubs, because it’s one of those bachelor party things that happen (been a while fortunately), and she doesn’t bat an eye. I can go to a rave, I can go out to a bar, I can hang out with a group of guys and girls late, and nothing, because she knows I’m coming home. I’d be a little concerned my activities were (or had been, I’m getting oooold) gauged by “cheating opportunities.” My wife trusts me implicitly, and it’s because I communicate with her.

      Nah. My wife also tries to remember the games I play and sometimes almost succeeds like this. This is close enough from a non-gamer wife
