Not true! Tink liked you!

Chihuahua's can be temperamental little a-holes, as we all know. And yet this dog knew immediately - as dogs do - that you were good people. That's not chance. That was a discerning little doggo.

Stop overthinking this, hug your wife, be thankful for your awesome family, and give a little toast to Tink tonight.

Bro what is your point?

The exact reason why it was able to do this was because it was incredibly good at reading people

That is why she trusts the dog you dope.

Dog didnt like him and it didnt work out

TIFU by confusing redditors about my children's age

And sometimes it’s a big fat dick.

I think it’s time to reevaluate your commitment to your job. If you work yourself to death they will have the ad out for your replacement before your body is even cold. That’s the level of commitment you owe them. You won’t have a girl or friendly relations with your family if you keep on like this.

thank you for this. I may have to print that list out and hang it on my wall

Ngl this is like the reverse of a fear I have, I use Reddit for self happy times. Sometimes later at night. I can sometimes doze off and accidentally hit buttons on my phone. I have several times seen the share prompt up on the screen when I come back to being awake. This usually prompts me to check my texts to make sure I didn’t send what I was looking at to a relative.

In bed with my partner who is sleeping as I write this. The line “it just spoke to me” made me laugh so hard I caused them to change positions.

I'm gay.. and you said or did nothing wrong.

Stop overthinking it.

Sorry for what you are going through. I wish you a merry Xmas. My gift to you is this article, if you take the time to read it, you might want to introduce some change to your lifestyle.

This article is a qualitative research from a nurse who asked people on their deathbed, what they regretted most in life. #2 was "I wish I didn’t work so hard. This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s"

Ok

That's actually a great story. I don't think you should be bummed. Your wife's dog had probably repeated proven to be a good judge of character. We've all heard the stories about dogs judging people and how they're frequently right.

My girl<space>friend has 2 dogs, Belle and Betsy. Belle is scrawny lab wiggle butt, all up in your face, always happy. Betsy is a rescue hound that was abused, very flighty and unlikely to allow you to pet her. I'm very much a dog person/dog whisperer and I kinda take it personal that I can't make that damn dog like me. I know it's just the dog, but still, dammit ...

One of them pointed it out and laughed, but I was a bit too embarrassed to look at anyone until the conversation moved on.

You don't mention their reaction to your statement. If they laughed or the conversation kept on in the same tone, I would assume no one was offended and they all took your joke in the manner it was intended. No harm no foul.

Ok.

Well some people may not want to be gay because of religion or their family is against it or from the lack of rights. I don’t want to seem like I’m completely ignoring that.

It’s all chance and kismet my dude

What Dinostra said. I’d like to add if it’s still bothering you, just tell your colleges you took 2 pills to calm your nerves and it was a bit too much. Ya’ll will have a good laugh about it.

Next time, just take one and have a small breakfast.

Congratulations!!!

I mean every time I am home and need to ask for wrapping paper I ask my mom even tho I grew up in the house.

It’s no longer my house and things change or I am unaware something was being saved for something special.

If it is not 100% yours always ask. Regardless of it being a coworker, friend, sibling, stranger, or parent.

It’s respectful.

What did you do that was wrong? I don't see anything.

Science doesnt back up your claims.

Google: "Kluger Hans" its a story about overestimating animals

It's wrapping paper in the home I grew up in, I didn't think it warranted a discussion to use it.

Oops, replied the wrong thing to the wrong comment.

I'm actually not. Animals are a good barometer for a variety of reasons, only some of which were mentioned in my original comment. They respond to kindness, respect, and consideration, which are traits I personally value, and therefore a domestic animal's response to a person is something I'm generally inclined to trust. Maybe you value different things.
