Hello everyone,

Me (m27) currently questioning the worldview that eternal love and loyalty with a partner is possible. My background: my ex-girlfriend w24 split up with me after a three-year relationship (we also lived together and talked about marriage). She then got together with her work colleagues after a week. In retrospect, I know that she cheated on me during the relationship. The new boyfriend, on the other hand, was already married and found out after the wedding that his wife had cheated on him. And even though he himself had been through a similar experience, he's doing the same to me?? Okay, but that's a different topic...

That experience pretty much destroyed my worldview at the time and made me question whether eternal love and loyalty with one person really exists. Or whether the whole thing is more of a pipe dream than reality. I'm now happy in a new relationship and have regained my faith in eternal love and loyalty.

But now I'm really hearing from all corners, whether it's friends or acquaintances or reddit posts (lol), how everyone seems to be cheating on each other. I don't want to let that influence me, but it's making my worldview waver a little.

What do you think about it? Have you ever been cheated on or do you have positive experiences that a real relationship with loyalty and love can work? Thank you in advance for the exchange.

1a. There are 2 groups: one Han dynasty (old—possibly ancient—Chinese) and one Roman. Both are of the late 2nd century.

​

2b. Each group is teleported 200 to 220 km from the capital of the other's empire: Rome in the case of the Chinese group, Xuchang in the case of the Roman group.

​

3c. The first group to achieve its goal wins.

​

4d. The winning group gets:

1 jīn and 2 librae of gold (>99.9% pure) per soldier and auxiliary,

10 jīn and 20 librae of salt (>97.5% sodium chloride) per soldier and auxiliary,

and whatever loot they could carry for over 10 km in less than 10 hours,

and are teleported back home: home being safely within 250 to 300 km of the capitals of their respective empires all together.

The losing group isn't teleported home.

​

5e.

There are 3 ways to win.

1a. kill the other empire's emperor. However, the group has to stay 3 complete lunar months (i.e. the next 3 new moons and 2 full moons); after which they can teleport back home.

2b. The group has over 1000 of its people spend over 100 000 person-hours in the other emperor's imperial palace or 1 km from it, for one calendar month (i.e. the next 2 new moons); after which they can teleport.

3c. The group holds the opposing emperor prisoner and then releases him unharmed after 8 calendar days; after which they can teleport.

​

6f.

The Roman group consists of 10 legions (42 000 or about), including 3000 horsemen. They are joined by 1000 neighbors of the Han Chinese who have fought the Han Chinese who, in addition to other motives, probably seek revenge, their share of gold, and loot. If the Roman group wins, they are teleported back to their homelands or with the Romans: their choices.

The Chinese group consists of

15 000 who have collectively served 200 000 years (97.5% of the men serving less than 20 years each) in the Chinese army.

75 000 conscripts who have collectively served 110 000 to 120 000 years in the Chinese army.

3000 similar horsemen

They are joined by 1000 neighbors of the Romans who have fought the Romans who, in addition to other motives, probably seek revenge, their share of gold, and loot. If the Chinese group wins, they are teleported back to their homelands or with the Chinese: their choices.

​

7g. The top 100 leaders of each group know about the other group and the rules. Also, each imperial palace has a 6 meter x 2 meter portal to the other palace for the next 6 new moons and 5 full moons.

​

8h. Let's say there is no real shock and awe of military groups magically appearing and disappearing.

​

​

Again, who do you think would win?

My girlfriend wants to name our newest member to our family (a dog) Gordo.

I think the meaning is significantly different from her culture to my own.

While nothing could be less important than what a dogs name is assuming we’re not talking along the lines of dipshirt, dumbaxe or something even more ignorant that has some kind of racist innuendos.

So forgive me for being bored and just wanting to see where opinions comically lie here with the name Gordo. Sorta work shop think tank it so to speak.

So the question here is;

1. What’s the very first thing that comes to mind when you hear the name GORDO?

But one more thing is needed in your response. Our conversation veered slightly to a debate. Which centered with a belief that region will influence a much different response respectively from one another.

Whether or not that’s fundamentally important to the question of naming our dog GORDO I assure you is an absolute no. Just a side bet if you will that there will be a step curve in correlation with respect to different regions but who knows. Our dogs has zero travel plans so this is 100% theoretical and still 100% pointless other than to satisfy our new found need to know.

So if you could please also answer our final question.

2. Area you hail from or what regional area you would most attribute your first thought that came to mind when you heard the name Gordo?

Just to be clear being born in France but spending that last 35 years in Texas largely means chicken fried streak long ago replaced crepes as any kind of staple food for you. Feel free to say born in France all you want. To us your an “everything is bigger in” kinda person :)

No that’s not a slight towards either. Just region to region it doesn’t take Texas but a year at max to slay and replace everything but Texas from a man.

You get it. Thank you again for your answers . Seriously! If you’ve made it thus far and still respond. We really appreciate it.
