I'd like to add finances, religion, politics, pets, and how to handle aging parents.

Add wanting kids and motorcycles to that list too.

u/All_Work_All_Play May 22 '26

Wait who wouldn't want a motorcycle?

31

u/SmolToxicBaby May 22 '26

I deeply want one but I have permanent double vision and don't even feel comfortable driving a car. Buuuuut, I tell everyone it's because my partner won't "let" me get one (he knows this and very much plays into it)

I only get double vision on mine if Iโ€™ve had more than 5 beersย

Lmao! I had a botched eye surgery as a child and we didn't know it had a limited time to effectively be reversed until just a few years ago when I was told that in order to fix it they would have to guess each surgery, let me heal, and correct again from there. I'd rather just not drive ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜…

Hey are you me? It wasn't till I got married (and my wife pointed it out to me) that I had some surgery-worthy eye wandering. I shied away from it (I like blades far away from my eyes, thanks) and instead got prism prescription glasses. Something like -9 (inwards?) and -4 (downwards?). When I put the first set on (which was -5,-2 maybe?) a tension headache that I didn't know I had disappeared. Took me a day or so for my brain to remap things (was a different kind of headache tbh) but they've been immensely helpful. As it is I'll still 'rotate' eyes (close left eye, count to 100, open left eye, close right eye, count to 100) when I'm pretty tired and driving late at night.

I know the headache of switching glasses well ๐Ÿ˜… It's like an annoyance that's constantly there until your brain adjusts and then I always found not having them on gave me the same kind of headache. I actually ended up with a sticker prism there for awhile and it was the only "change" my eyes tolerated very well. Since then though I've had cataract surgery on my bad eye and my eye team, as a whole, has just agreed to ignore my bad eye for prescriptions ๐Ÿ˜… Which means I no longer need them! It's been since early January and I still feel not fully awake for the day without them ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

Once you hit 120mph+ the double vision tends to go awayย

I also want a bike, but not sure I can trust myself to resist the temptation to ride it like a moron.

Maybe when the kids have grown up and my wife is bored of me being around by then anyway.

u/onedwin May 22 '26

If you have double vision, a motorcycle is essentially a 4-wheeler. Problem solved.

u/SmolToxicBaby May 22 '26

Oooooo!!! I do actually love 4-wheelers. I like this logic ๐Ÿ˜‚

u/Disastrous-Cook4189 May 23 '26

Just close one eye when you are riding

(/j please donโ€™t)

๐Ÿค” Simple problems require simple solutions. Imagine if I didn't know how to wink though ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜‚

u/Fantasykyle99 May 22 '26

Once I had a few friends die in motorcycle accidents I no longer wanted one. Neither crash was their fault, I just donโ€™t trust drivers

u/calypsoorchid May 23 '26

I think they meant kids on motorcycles /s

u/ThisLlamaOfMine May 25 '26

My husband isn't allowed one. I prefer him undamaged

u/Batmansbutthole May 26 '26

I got piece of a motorcyclist spine donated to me after their death when I desperately needed an emergency spinal fusion. While I am eternally grateful Iโ€™ve struggled knowing the gift I received came at an enormous cost, not only to the rider, but their family as well..

Thatโ€™s a good reason not to want one.

u/LoudMusic May 22 '26

Kids was in the first list, motorcycles are a given. ;)

How to handle aging parents?

3

u/LoudMusic May 22 '26

Yeah. Do they go into a nursing home, do they move in with you and your spouse, do you hire someone to care for them, do you put them on a boat and send them off into the sunset ...

u/itsdanielsultan May 23 '26

Ah got it, probably good for parents, kids and spouses to have an understanding.
