What are the EXACT STEPS needed to dispose of a husband? I tried down, down, up, up, right, left, right, left, A, B and home but nothing happened.



Blow into the cartridge first, it makes wonders.

When I was 13 I met boy named Sam and really liked him. He gave me his phone number. I spent an entire weekend reading through the phone book directory which was about 4" thick, going line by line to find the number so I'd know his last name and address. I can't remember why I wanted to know. I wouldn't have sent him a gift or shown up at his door. I just fell down the rabbit hole and couldn't stop until I found him. I actually did, and he was fairly close to the beginning of the alphabet so it didn't take as long as it could have.

This is always something you could try.

That must be the problem. I don't buy cartridges anymore.

I'm feeling triggered right now. :lol:

Damn Nintendo cartridges! "Please work this time! Please work this time!"

That is SO sweet.

I had a long conversation once with someone who was calling random people in the phone book when he was mildly high. I don't really recommend doing that. I was 15 at the time.

I think the focus shouldn't be on finding a husband but on meeting new people. Having the idea of finding a husband at the forefront puts a lot of pressure on friendships/budding relationships and can lead to a lot of awkwardness. I'm speaking from personal experience here. Back when I was religious, the whole point of dating was to find a "marriage mate." Dating for fun was not deemed acceptable. Anyway, the obsession with marriage made most of my encounters with the opposite sex incredibly awkward. Taking the pressure off and looking for opportunities to meet and get to know new people might be a good idea.

Yes, unfortunately, members of all sexes can be jerks, even if the process of falling in love is like 90% work. Some won't even do that much.

Personally, I hated dating and I think most men worth having don't care much for it either. It's a lot of work and rejection.

I wouldn’t say that most of my fundie experiences with dating involved jerks. There were a few jerks but a whole lot of awkward moments. JFC. :lol:

I think it would’ve been easier if friendships between men and women were encouraged instead of frowned upon, there wasn’t an emphasis on purity, and marriage was less fetishized.
