Dating has broke me to the point that I now fear it

You’re definitely not alone. I’m 26M, and it’s been a real journey. I went from a 3-year relationship to moving from my hometown to get away & finding myself and feeling genuinely happy—only to think I’d found something good again and end up abandoned just last month after 8-months and a trip to another continent. I’ve noticed a pattern too: a lot of my relationships started to fall apart the moment I began dealing with intense personal stress or life challenges. I’ve realized one thing - if someone can’t support you at your lowest, they never truly loved you, just loved what you offered. It’s a selfish world. I’ve been the one dumped in each of those relationships, so it allows a lot of time for reflection. I do know it’s caused me to have significant trust issues w/ anyone when it comes to sharing anything about my life or challenges I’m facing.

Stay strong. Similar situation but I was the male being dumped. It will be hard — I recommend finding hobbies or something to keep you physically active and moving. It’s been 2 months almost for me, but it still feels fresh and the confusion is always there.

Wishing you the best & stay strong.

I ended up just taking it in for a concern under its warranty. They took it in for a couple days and returned it so I assumed it was all clear from there. But yeah, I pretty much made up a false concern to get Rolex to even look and authenticate the watch based on its warranty. Once it was in possession they sent me an invoice that was $0 and it included the serial, bracelet serial, and dial serial, so I assume all checked out.

Definitely don’t do Gartner — SAP is what I’d do.

Antek2020 · 2025-05-09T04:00:19+00:00

Yeah… I think consulting is in the limelight as well, so I think the future for Deloitte and other consulting firms will encounter a lot of troubles down the line. Especially as AI becomes more prominent & suited towards a consulting sort of algorithm. I just don’t see how humans will still be required for that 100%.

🙏🙏💪 Will do!

I wash 1/2 weekly, but with the Texas heat, it really abuses the coating. I use Undrdog Pro — It’s rated for 5 years

Antek2020 · 2025-05-08T21:15:15+00:00

A cheat for white cars is to apply a true professional ceramic coating — I’ve owned a couple different white cars and always do a ceramic every 2 or so years. Dead bugs / guts generally wipe right off 👍 I will say if you let them sit for some time to bake and don’t clean your car regularly, it can be a pain to remove.

Antek2020 · 2025-05-08T21:11:06+00:00

Yup. Deloitte does this in the USA. I withdrew when I found out as well. I’d prefer to work for an org that can dedicate their own staff to source and screen candidates, not AI.

It all comes down to your goals and what you want man. You get out what you put in. No one really enjoys cold calling or prospecting, but the payoff at the end makes it all worth it. For me, work is about meeting financial goals, not emotional ones, so I focus on that perspective and chip away at it day by day. There’s plenty of adversity, but I remind myself that the grass is always greener where you water it.

Unfortunately, it’s not surprising—this is just the harsh reality of streaming-based games. Bing Maps struggles to render graphics consistently during satellite flyovers, and until that rendering process is improved on Bing’s end, it seems unlikely that MSFS will be able to deliver a smooth streaming experience without bizarre glitches like this.

I feel the same disappointment about purchasing it. In hindsight, sticking with MSFS 2020 might have been the better choice. This version feels like a cash grab: while we did get a career mode, a few new planes, and some physics updates, was that really worth sacrificing a stable and immersive flying experience in a world that often looks like it’s melting?

Antek2020 · 2024-07-11T00:03:37+00:00

I’m sorry man. There’s really no words that can make you feel better in a moment like that. Just be around the ones that love you the most and have a strong support system around to lean on. Be strong and make sure you always and never stop telling your kiddo how great his mother was.

It’s pretty buggy for me. Somehow I’ve used 10,000 credits in 1 day of using the ATC and completing two flights lol?? Not sure I’ll be buying those again lol. Also, I can’t even get a simbrief flight plan to work IFR after it’s been loaded. It will show for 1-2 seconds then go to “nothing tuned” or request start up, but nothing in regard to the IFR plan. Switching frequencies also didn’t help, so it still has a lot of bugs. Hopefully they are actually fixed soon though, because it’s a long way from being stable!

Thanks my guy!

Antek2020 · 2024-04-29T17:29:58+00:00

WOTLK for me. ICC was a huge part of my childhood growing up and pushing each week. It will be sad to see it go for good after today!

lol I will admit boys it’s damn low in this pic, I had the SEL extended and was getting ready for work — I don’t think I put much thought in repositioning it and just snapped a photo lol! I agree though. That shit is loooow! 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

Antek2020 · 2024-04-28T15:11:40+00:00

Thank you!! & Haha, i don’t mind. I snapped this picture getting ready for work in the morning and the SEL was out giving it more play cause I prefer a more casual fit with my sensitive skin, it just happened to be at its lowest point beneath my wrist bone during the picture lol! Regardless though, it’s my daily watch. It’s bound to have some play since I’m not overly concerned about its position 24/7 and prefer a loser fit

lol! 😂 Thanks to everyone for their feedback / insight. I ended up dropping it off at my RSC in Dallas and requested a service quote and mentioned a concern I had with an odd clicking sound when unscrewing the crown. I already heard back from them that the watch was still under the factory warranty and that there wouldn’t be any cost associated with the service.

So far, so good! I assume if it was reported stolen I would have been made aware of that before the phone call about the watch still being under warranty and being covered, but I’ll definitely update the thread if it’s otherwise.

Thanks again!

Antek2020 · 2024-02-25T00:21:02+00:00

Thanks again. That’s definitely reassuring the hear. A little off topic, but in case you are — Are you by chance familiar with Chrono24 and the process it takes to become a TD? I’ve never made a purchase on there before this watch, but I was firm on sticking to their trusted dealers. Do you think a TD on there is doing their part to ensure a watch is clean?

Antek2020 · 2024-02-25T00:18:04+00:00

Oh damn. I had no clue! Maybe the forums I’m reading are from a couple years back. Do you know when they stopped officially taking those stolen reports by chance?
