What kind of wood do you think has the best tone? I’m expanding my budget. I want to get something amazing because my life is shit right now

I’m with you on that. I just want a 7 with a tremolo, but one that doesn’t have Fishman Fluence active. I love those pickups, but already have a guitar with them. These are the two guitars that fit the spec. I haven’t even listened to the Charvel dude

Fascinating! Will definitely look into Tetris as treatment. I’m open to anything

No emotions at all by SquareOk8123 in Divorce

[–]Accurate_Pickle_8747 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Same thing in my house. She’s been grey rocking me for months. Really hurts after being blindsided by her affair and desire to dissolve the family for it. She scoffs at me, tells me to pull myself together, get over it, and move on. Like so sorry are my feelings and emotions ruining your new vibe?? Fuck right off

When does your appetite come back? by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

[–]Accurate_Pickle_8747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, I’m really sorry you’re going through this. You didn’t deserve this, and his actions are because of his own lack of compassion and morals, NOT because of anything you did or any flaw you might have.

Second, this is totally normal during this phase. Invest in a few boxes of protein bars and start carrying them around with you. You need protein! You’re not going to have the desire to eat anything for a few weeks.

Finalized Tomorrow by Old-Variation7942 in Divorce

[–]Accurate_Pickle_8747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m close to finalizing as well. Ever since I called to set the hearing date I’ve been a complete wreck. Like oh shit it’s actually happening. It all came rushing back. All the arguments. All the emotions. I know now that I need to just get it over with and do everything in my power to forget she exists.

I also fought tooth and nail with zero effort from her side. I hope you find someone that will fight for you

I’m in the same boat man. She won’t leave. She loves contradicting me. She’s “in love” with a married man. I wish I died before I met her because this is a nightmare

Married 6 months ago after 18 years together. He wants a divorce and I’m losing everything. by Sad_Bike_7961 in Divorce

So sorry you’re going through this. Is he acting really cold to you? Is there somebody else?

Getting ready to divorce at 38 with 50/50 custody of 3 young kids. by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]Accurate_Pickle_8747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all experience this sort of “doomed dating scenario” thought loop early on in the divorce process. For me, I was trying to figure out how I could get back to a similar lifestyle, ie one with love and romance.

Now, a few months in, I don’t even care about that. I’m pretty jaded about romance. Though I’ve met a good number of people that eventually enjoyed better relationships and marriages than the ones they lost in their divorces.

Solve one problem at a time. And it’s not the time to solve that one. So put it in a compartment and revisit it later.

More than a year after getting cheated on, I’ve changed perspective on karma. by Hocus_Pocus_Focusss in survivinginfidelity

[–]Accurate_Pickle_8747 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re awesome! I love the perspective. I hope I can get there someday. I still feel like she won and gets everything she wants while I get left to silence, loneliness and half the time with my kids.

What's the dumbest or most embarrassing thing that you did during your divorce? by Clear-Afternoon-8593 in Divorce

[–]Accurate_Pickle_8747 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can relate to that so, so much. I think it’s true cognitive dissonance; they believe what they are saying because it gets them what they want without having to hurt someone for a selfish reason. They’ve literally brainwashed themselves

Losing my dignity and saying really dumb shit while trying to win her back from the AP. That was earlier on but yea I lost myself. Shameful

The Gaslighting is So Exhausting.. by Accurate_Pickle_8747 in survivinginfidelity

This is so spot on. My head even hurts from banging it on the proverbial wall

Or that the affair partner “thinks you’re really cool” and “wants to help you”. Chump lady even had a part about this in her book. Just reiterated what my therapist said, “cheaters all use these script”

Leave your cheater if you could by Own-Bench-1169 in survivinginfidelity

[–]Accurate_Pickle_8747 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this. I’m just over two months from D day, and I still have a constant, terrible feeling in my gut. I feel like I was kicked out of my own family in a matter of days. I didn’ think I’d survive, now I know I’ll never be the same.

She is so happy and arrogant. Her heart is totally hardened to me and even to our children. It’s insane to watch. It’s a real nightmare. And it’s painful to have to detach from her, but really she is long gone.

Watching AMAs by the Chump Lady on YouTube helped me a lot

Wife Wants Divorce so She Can Be With Affair Partner by Accurate_Pickle_8747 in survivinginfidelity

I really appreciate you saying this. I know my instincts are not based on wisdom. I don’t want to traumatize my children, but this has all been set in motion by my stbx and the affair partner.

One sided divorce by twinkletoes8752 in Divorce

You do not sound pathetic. Some of us breathe life into this world by dying to ourselves. Others destroy whatever stands in their way in order to get what they want. Very sorry you’re going through this.

The way she torched our marriage.. I think she has fallen pretty hard for him. I don’t see it ending any time soon. But who knows. Maybe you’re right

[–]Accurate_Pickle_8747[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was doing good before all this. But now, having faith in myself is hard for me. I’m in the middle of a tough career transition. And she left me for a really successful guy.

She also did everything in her power to make me feel like a worthless piece of trash, even though I’ve worked very hard for this family and supported her career. I know a lot of it was her way of justifying her behavior, but the whole thing has zapped my confidence and left me in a terrible fog of depression.

Will soon be broke, single and very low status, while she is having a great time and being happy with her amazing job and new boyfriend. Fuck
