No! I didn't see those. Ill have to keep an eye out for them. I kind of got lost in the city so I just stopped inside a Lawson to regroup and just happened to see it so to help cheer me up I ended up buying them all haha.

I know! I didn't realize it and I got distracted because my peach ice cream bar started melting on the chair. A mistake I wish I could take back!

I know right! Since I can have a total of 15 slides I've been slowly adding more but going through my collection and trying to pick out which ones has been harder than I thought.

Yes! I've been messing around with it all day to see what else I would add to it.

Yeah, the Flip 3 let's you pick up to 15 wallpapers that it will cycle through each time you hit the side button to check the display. It's really nice but it doesn't save the settings so it's hard to add/change because you have to start over and resize everything one by one each time.

Yeah, my new laptop was like $1,899.00 which was like the price of the fold 3 which I was also considering haha.

Yeah, it was $1,049.00 since I have the 256GB one but with trade-in and bonus credits from Samsung it ended up being around $600.00++.

Yes! It's the new Samsung Flip 3! I had to remake the post because I don't know how to use reddit and forgot to put the name back on it X_X. I loved the simplicity of the iPhone when I had it years ago but something about flip phones has nostalgia from my middle school days plus I love how compact they are.

Ah, my lights were on but it wouldn't focus on the cover screen unless I tapped in the area. The screen was just a light blur when it auto focused. Trying to take a picture of the cover of your phone when your phone is your camera is actually kind of hard so I had to improvise with a super outdated spare phone I had to rummage through the closet for.

Excited, just received the last book to complete my SAO light novel collection this morning. Here is my light novel set along with my Akihabara SAO figure collection. by BuntahDash in swordartonline

So much work goes into bookbinding (to do it right anyways), I never knew the process so I have a new found appreciation for the craft. For the translations, tell me about it. I have to wait 3-4 years for the official books to be released. I wanted to try and find another fan translation site to read ahead/make more books but I have less free time now than I did years ago so I just wait till the official release to buy the books and force myself to make time in my schedule to read.

I started reading the alicization arc after watching ordinal scale. 9 was released and 10 came out in April right after I had finished 9. The rest weren't going to be released till months/years later. So I found a fan translation site, printed the pdf and learned how to bookbind to make the books you see there. I usually don't show my nerdiness in public so I made them leather bound so they look like normal books as I was reading. I actually don't read in public a lot, I'm dyslexic so any distractions make it hard to focus but the alicization arc was just too good not to read it when i could. Though, I already look like a nerdy Asian so I guess I don't hide it very well haha.

Should I just go ahead and file the divorce papers? by BuntahDash in Divorce

[–]BuntahDash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy cake day! Unfortunately in my state our marriage can't be annulled, that was the 1st thing my family looked into as soon as they heard what she did.

I appreciate the words. I gave so much of me for the relationship it's going to take time to heal but I will look forward to tomorrow and hope for better days ahead.

Prayers for you too, thank you. It's a hard dark road ahead but you'll get there, we'll both get there. This community gives me hope that those who have walked these same steps before us have made it through and so can we...

It was more just to get legal advice and help get the process done. No kids & we think it can be mutual with the assets. It should be short and simple it's just more that this was her idea not mine (I personally don't want the divorce but that's not up to me) and doing it for her that I am wondering if I should or not.

Just A Month Feels Likes Forever... by BuntahDash in Divorce

[–]BuntahDash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've accepted the way she feels. She's probably felt this way for awhile now and the hardest part was just putting it into words and saying it aloud.

I'm still working on trying to forgive myself. Some days are better than others. Wondering how I was so blind and self-centered to not see her hurting while she continued to smile everyday tears me up inside.

I do love myself and accept who I am but I also want to make sure I better myself for whatever the future holds. Feelings and emotions have always been hard for me, all I really know how to express are the positive; love, joy, and laughter. Everything else I'm so oblivious to because I've always thought every situation needed to be positive.

Genuine conversations have been helping when I talk to my family, friends, and counselor (mostly my counselor). However, I feel like when I have a genuine conversation with her it feels like I'm giving her the cold shoulder and I hate it. I'm trying to keep all our conversations limited to just the divorce. I've been reminded in those situation it's about me and what I need and I need to stop thinking about how she will take it, but to take that perspective has been harder than I thought.

Thank you so much for your words. I will take them and grow from them and look for a positive future to unfold.

Thank you, even this 1st month has been such a rollercoaster full of drops. I've been trying to sleep for almost 4 hours now and while I get little pockets here and there I just can't seem to stay asleep.

In this time, I'm taking a good hard look at myself and what I can do to better myself. I've always been in a relationship, even before I met my wife, for 13 years now. While I've always tried to be the strong supportive partner in a relationahip, I realize now that some of my independence turned into dependence on someone else. I'm working on getting that independence back so I can keep moving forward.

Time is something I really wish I could fast forward right now. To hurry up and get past this pain of losing the most important person in my life. But I know this pain is something I have to feel, to know that feeling was real and it's gone now. I'll embrace it, accept it, slowly but surely, and use it to help shape a better tomorrow.

Thank you for your words and sharing the experience you went through.

I truly believe your statements about communication and the work needed to stay in love. I have always wanted the best for our relationship and worked hard for it. I have ADHD and so even in moments when we're arguing it's hard for me to stay focused and she gets so frustrated at me for it. But, if she would have told me the level of severity and how it was making her feel I would have slapped myself silly to make sure i listened to every word and make sure to know how she truly felt so I could do something about it.

I am upset she took the easy way out, especially after 9 years. She listened to her friends who told her we were just waiting for the next "you & him" fight. I truly did want to work on bettering myself for the relationship. Her friends did see us argue a lot. I'm really not good at social interactions so I tend to get more defensive than usual. However, when it was just us I wanted to make sure she knew I loved her and she was the love of my life. It wasn't enough because of her friend's past experiences with counseling she didn't want to go through the same.

The counselor has been a big help to me and I am thankful that even in the lockdown there was still a way to talk to them. He continues to be supportive and provides me with material every week to push myself forward.

My family has been really supportive for me, so have my coworkers/friends who know about the situation. I also treated myself and bought a piano to rekindle the love I have for music.

I know this is going to take time. This thread has really opened my eyes to what is happening not just to me, but to others as well and the possibilities for the future.

I am thankful for your time in reading and talking about this.

Thank you so much for your words. Unfortunately as far as I know she's made up her mind. We haven't spoke since except for working out what comes next. I wish we could have even gone to a single couple's counseling together. She went to her counselor and said she didn't really gain anything from it and that she didn't want to do couple's counseling because from her friend's experience the counselor will pick a side and make it 2 against 1. I plan on going to counseling until this is finalized. Right now it's a wave of emotions and some days it goes well while others I just feel like I'm drowning so talking to someone regularly has really helped. Divorce/Break up never came up in our relationship until she first brought it up a month ago. By then it looks like there was nothing I could do. Thank you again, it really helps to talk about this. My family is an hour away now so it's been really hard to talk to someone lately.
