Isn't work person just a way of saying someone who brings you a coffee when they get one?
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.
just shows how severed many people actually are between real life and work life.
golden retriever
cat boy
Hmm
Dog software running on furry hardware.
Golden retriever ENERGY
An important distinction.
Look man, no one said the meme was perfect.
I did. I said it.
I fucking meant it too. YOU CHERISH THAT WOMAN GODDAMNIT.
now if you'll excuse me I'll be in my BASEMENT. VIBING. until my WIFE GETS HOME.
The new Sleep Token album is pretty great for that.

Holy fucking cringe
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.

a bit cringe though
Let he who isn't cringe cast the first stone
There's a certain threshold at which it becomes too cringe. Balancing it is the key.
And the cow is balancing in the ocean.
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.

Kel, get off the Lemmy. You have work to do.
[EDIT: I do not know this person, I have no idea who they are. If their name IS Kel, it would be fucking hilarious]
why does someone try to shame your wife for something that you do, what kind of fucked up people does your wive interact with
The gossipy kind.
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)
Don't LEGOS themselves say the suggested age range is 9-99??
find a local hackerspace or maker faire. or sit on the side of the road with something partially disassembled.
That sucks. Meanwhile as a guy, I haven’t found that nerdy girl yet either. But those matches do happen. My coworker is a giant nerd. LEGO, movies, gaming, the works. She just moved in with an equally nerdy guy. She gave him the LEGO LOTR Barad-dur for his birthday laat month and they built it together. He gives her LEGO botanical sets.
Gotta love LEGO couples :D

So is your wife single?
Afraid not.
Can you ask her just to be sure?
She says go poach your own unicorn.
isn't weird how there isn't a word for unicorn rider? maybe its time.

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.

In no way does anyone that must be dragged out of the house have "golden retriever energy"
But I'm still happy for them
True. I saw this one meirl post about someone whose favorite thing to do is go run errands with someone and everyone was saying a golden retriever wrote it. So I guess I'm a golden retriever.
