I thought that myself until a friend had his wedding on NYE two years ago. Was fantastic as everyone I could have wanted to be with on NYE was together ready to party.
Agreed. Our honeymoon kicked ass and we enjoyed every minute of it. Whether it was relaxing by the pool/ocean or doing some activity, it was amazing. We didn’t do anything grande or extravagant, just a nice resort on the beach in the Caribbean.
3 – I have no comment on when spending holiday’s together should happen, that all depends on the relationship. When it comes to splitting them time is the real nightmare and can cause a lot of tension/drama. My wife is a nurse so we cannot even commit to having a certain holiday off, mix that with my family in Minnesota and hers in Houston (we live in Dallas), it can get rocky. The only way we can effectively do it is rotate holidays as best and evenly as possible. Parents/siblings will be hurt, but it’s the only way to fairly do it. Best of luck!
Totally agree on it messing your Sunday night up… if it’s not planned. I take my Sunday nap after the gym around 11:30 every Sunday. A little 30 minute siesta done by noon sets the rest of my day up great.
Gonna shoot some rifles on Saturday followed up by watching the A&M game and drinking some beers with the wife. Sunday will be training some jiu jitsu and doing errands. Low key this weekend, and I love it.
I work in a construction trailer with plumbers/pipefitters and sheet metal workers, and if they can do a courtesy flush, keep the toilet clean and unclogged, so can everyone else.
Going to the Stars vs. Wild game tonight with the boys, pretty psyched up about that (go Wild). Rest of the weekend involves staying at home with the wife and dog and finishing up a coffee table i’m building.
If you are the self-confident person now that grew from high school, just keep doing that. Don’t worry about getting validation from your old High School classmates. Go if you legitimately want to see some old friends and hang out, but going to peacock won’t pan out. Who cares if they have a false image? That’s their false image, not your real image.
#3 Girl – If those guys were intimidated by you making more money, good riddance to them. Be proud of how hard you’ve worked and the money you get for it. A self-confident guy will come around and it won’t bother him at all. This is why I petitioned for my wife to get her masters, phase one of her transitioning to sugar mamma status.
#5 Girl – I have the same predicament looming this year. I am not going because it requires flying home and I typically see the people I care about when I do visit home. The idea of your classmates seeing how much you’ve changed and blossomed since High School seems great, but in reality they won’t care. This was my thought process as I too was the quiet low key guy in high school.
I agree with MayDay here. You have to address it, but don’t throw the first punch if it comes to that. If you don’t address it you just laid over and let someone else handle it or worse it never gets handled at all.
If my wife did not kick him in the nuts or publicly destroy him, I would like to think reasonable me would address this mongo with poise and let him know that touching a lady doesn’t fly and let the crowd tear him apart.Realistically when I found this out I would probably see red and dog cuss him and if I get hit, well that sucks but I can sleep at night at.
All that said, you need to stand up for your lady and call out BS when it happens. Even if it was an accident, I am sure he would apologize or communicate it was an accident and then let it go. In my opinion it needs to be addressed, regardless of the persons size.
Going to the Taylor Swift concert tonight with my wife cause I am an excellent husband. Playing the long game on this, I think it will pay off. Other than that, spend some time at the gym and relax at home with the wife and pup. Maybe enjoy one, two or ten adult beverages.
Gym dude: Remember, the gym is meant for one purpose – creating a better version of yourself in one way or another,both mentally and physically. Everyone there is focused on that alone and are not focused on the guy/girl three machines away. The guys repping two plates are strong, but they have probably been lifting for quite a while. Don’t sweat it at all. Focus on yourself and your anxiety will go down. As for failing a lift, we’ve all done it, including the big guys (at least your pushing yourself!). The longer you stick with it the more your confidence and comfort will increase.
P.S. – Learn good form on squats and deadlifts and do those, nobody fucks with people that do squats and deadlifts, no matter the weight.

I’m sure that’s six more days than they can take being around you.
Yep, diesel and bud heavy, been drinking that shit for years. Love it.

The guy in that last story is a real POS…

Update: I jinxed myself. Sheet metal foreman clogged the toilet first thing this morning.
My two superintendents run a tight ship. I lucked out for sure.
Courtesy flush is used to prevent a clog by said big one. Other than that, spot on.

It’s raining all weekend and the wife works as well. So, beers while watching football and working on a coffee table in the garage all weekend.
