Dante’s Opinion: Should My Husband Support My Friend’s Affair?

Did you read that question? I mean, what? I don’t even get it. Here’s the story:

My best friend and I are very close and like sisters. In a few weeks she’s coming for a visit for the weekend for a big event we are attending, and wants my husband and I to go on a double date with her for the event. The problem is, her date is a married man, who is still with his wife and kids, but is sneaking away with her for the weekend. My husband has said he doesn’t agree with the relationship and does not want to go out with them, under any circumstance…he told me if I want to go, I can go alone. I don’t agree with her relationship either and have told her, but ultimately it’s her choice. I don’t want to go with them, but I don’t want to ruin my friendship with my best friend either. I also definitely don’t want to go alone…. I’m already uncomfortable and this will make it worse. I think my husband should suck it up and go in support of me, but he is refusing. What should I do? I respect his right to refuse, but think he should not leave me to go alone with them. I have met him, but I have never been anywhere with them because we live in different cities and he’s usually unable to come when we are visiting one another. They will be in a hotel nearby for the whole weekend, and want us to all spend a lot of time together. Help!

Alright……this is a lot to process. I…

Okay, so we have a few points that jump out at me:

  • If your friendship is ruined because you refuse to participate in low moral standard activities, you might have a problem with your relationship in general.
  • Your only option is to tell your friend that you indeed cannot play a part of this. (more on that later)
  • You say you don’t want to go, but you also expect your husband to play along too. Huh?

Dante’s Opinion: What’s the Best Way to Show Someone You Love Them?

Cute question:

What’s the Best Way to Show Someone You Love Them?

The best way?

Usually, I show people I love them by two main things: Acts of service and fierce loyalty. I do things for people when they ask for it or just because. I am also a very loyal person. I will fight with and for you no matter what. I’m an excellent teammate; a true point gaurd who will toss out assist after assist.

People who take advantage of that are banished forever. I don’t play that.

That’s how I show love for people.

I don’t think there is a best way because people receive love differently. People express love differently. So many ways to feel and show love means that not everybody will respond the same. You sort of have to figure out how that person reacts to things and then you can figure out how to show them love based on their…”preference”.

Dante’s Opinion: Is It Rude to Call Someone A Hoe?

As you might expect from this title, things are about to get real.

Yesterday, my classmates and I were discussing the topic of virginity and all of them have lost their virginity except for me. Since I am 22, most of my friends thought it was weird I haven’t lost it yet and this one girl was making fun of me for being a prude. I responded by telling her that I can at least take comfort in the fact I am not a herpes infested hoe like you. This girl I responded to does have genital herpes. Was I being rude to this girl?

Ooooooooooooooh! I hate it when people attack your virginity. I mean, your response was out of control and I guess we can say “rude”. But, if you’re like me, you were probably frustrated as this isn’t the first time you’ve been mocked for being a virgin.

Yeah, you did a low blow there. Aye, it was nice, but not appropriate. Here’s the thing though:

  • Someone with herpes didn’t necessarily get it from being a hoe. All it takes is one partner one time and you’re done.
  • There could have been an issue with non sexual contact too. Odds are, she slept with somebody, but it’s not 100% way of getting the virus.

You should probably apologize for that remark. I say probably because…oh fine. You should apologize. I personally would likely not because that’s what kind of guy I am: A big a-hole. But yeah, the right thing to do is apologize.

Dante’s Opinion: Is My Friend Right In Telling Me to Kill Myself?

Oh Jesus have mercy.

My friend told me to jump in front of a car and end it all this is the third time he’s said this. He said it’s for everyone’s benefit I’m starting to think he’s right.

No, you don’t want to kill yourself. Why would he say this? It’s-

Wait…

Hold up…

“My friend”. That’s your friend? YOUR FRIEND? That’s not a friend. That is evil. I don’t care what his logic is; that’s sick. No, you need to cut this guy loose real quick.

Don’t talk to him again. Don’t let those thoughts sink in. Don’t believe what he is telling you.

Dante’s Opinion: How Do I Handle My Hatred for My Girlfriend’s Cat?

This is a really dark question. Take a look at this:

I have an extreme hatred for my girlfriends cat and I feel like I can’t control it much longer. It’s hard to explain, but here goes. I absolutely ******* despise cats. I think they are the single most annoying things on earth. And my girlfriend just brought one home a few months ago. And I can’t take it anymore. I hate this thing so deeply, I feel sick about it. I look at it and. I sometimes feel like I’m losing control with it. I feel like my sight starts to fade and I’m approaching a blackout and I just want to attack it.

It’s this intense feeling of hatred and anger and I feel like I just need to make it feel some kind of extreme pain. I want it to hurt. This thing is nothing but a little ***** that walks around my house knocking **** off the tables, scratching the paint off my walls and walking under my feet. I want to burn it while it’s still alive. Every time it looks at me, I get angry. I just want it to die. I don’t even want to give it to someone… I just want to kill it. I don’t want it to have a life. I want this ******* thing to suffer. Has ANYONE ever felt this strongly about anything or anyone? I’m losing my ******* mind. Like I said, I hate it. I don’t want it. I don’t want to give it to anyone either. I just want to kill it. And this is the only animal I have ever felt this way about. Oh my god, i cant ******* handle it.

Um…….

I have been close about feeling like that with someone but this is intense.

I needed some time to process what I’m going to say here. I think I got a few things.

For one, based off of what you said, there is something seriously wrong with you. I’m not attacking you; feeling this way about this animal is not normal. Blacking out into a rage at the sight of it is not a good sign.

You’ll need to consider some professional help. You’ll also need to let your girlfriend know you’re not comfortable (I guess to put it lightly) with the cat at the crib. See if you can get some help. If that’s not working for you, it’s time for the cat to go. Now, either your girlfriend leaves with the cat or not. It’s up to her. It’s only been a few months; maybe she’s not to attached to it.

Don’t kill the cat, man. Don’t do it. They have too many lives; it’ll come back and with a vengeance. Seriously, don’t kill the cat.

Dante’s Opinion: What Should My Kids Eat for Dinner?

I’m…here’s the question:

What should my kids have for dinner tonight?

1) McDonalds
2) Sonic
3) Pizza Hut
4) Taco Bell
5) Wendy’s

Those are my choices as I’m watching TV tonight and will not be cooking. Which one?

Let’s see…

Here’s what I think about McDonalds.

So that leaves us with four options.

Okay, actually, no Taco Bell for me. Love the food but my love affair with my toilet needs to end.

Down to three. I mean, if you don’t want to go anywhere, Pizza Hut is the only option. But, the best food out of the last three…I’d go with Sonic. Yeah, go with Sonic.
