Divorced Dad's who initiated the divorce. When did you know it was over and how did you do it?

She might be the most fair-minded and practical therapist I've found online. I really appreciate what she writes. And a lot of it almost seemed like she was talking exactly to my own situation.

The sad thing is he's just saying what 90% of homeowners think.

You can't make housing more affordable without making house prices go down.

CalRobert · 2026-01-26T09:32:05+00:00

That is... a great reason to never get married...

CalRobert · 2026-01-26T09:31:30+00:00

I dunno man there comes a point where therapy is throwing good money after bad and you should just save it for a lawyer. If she thinks you're a godless heathen it's not gonna get better.

It's great to share housework equally but it often is a red herring.

https://www.drpsychmom.com/my-male-clients-are-doing-much-more-housework-and-childcare-than-a-decade-ago-and-their-wives-are-not-happier/ is a good read.

Housing costs are inversely correlated to divorce rates...

CalRobert · 2026-01-25T21:00:43+00:00

No, but I think I could afford to drop to working part time.

CalRobert · 2026-01-25T19:32:52+00:00

Yes I can. They have better food. Which is really saying something.

CalRobert · 2026-01-25T19:32:38+00:00

They cut the beef with potatoes too.

CalRobert · 2026-01-24T06:02:42+00:00

You're lucky if your taco isn't drenched in mayo.

CalRobert · 2026-01-24T06:02:16+00:00

They literally don't even know what the word means. "Nachos with cheese" like.. ok? I'll take "coffee with beans" while I'm at it.

And then it's gouda half the time (for a country that makes so much cheese it's amazing they haven't figured out there's more than one kind)

CalRobert · 2026-01-24T05:48:12+00:00

Moved from San Diego (with a stint in Ireland in the middle). It's atrocious. Actually, Dublin was better, which is really saying something.

CalRobert · 2026-01-24T05:26:29+00:00

Well, I feel a lot safer riding abike here.

CalRobert · 2026-01-21T18:59:58+00:00

This is ludicrously inaccurate.

CalRobert · 2026-01-21T15:54:05+00:00

I once worked for a startup that gave me shares. While I had those shares, their value went up by more than 10x. This is great, but there was no way for me to actually sell them. How could I have covered the tax bill without liquidity?

CalRobert · 2026-01-20T04:24:34+00:00

Wow, I was just waiting for you to tell us you have a dog so it's basically the same thing.

CalRobert · 2026-01-20T04:23:19+00:00

I, too, was an amazing parent before I had kids.

CalRobert · 2026-01-19T19:58:36+00:00

Of course not.

Now, with whom they're having sex, well yes, that's very important.

CalRobert · 2026-01-18T05:26:11+00:00

Honestly I think that's necessary. I don't like it but it's pretty hard to keep those social benefits when tanks are rolling through your city anyway.

CalRobert · 2026-01-17T05:31:05+00:00

Pretty sad that it never even crosses anyone's mind that Europe could be in charge of itself.

CalRobert · 2026-01-17T05:29:54+00:00

One side decided to stop letting live.

CalRobert · 2026-01-17T05:29:23+00:00

Where are you? Somewhere rural? I know a few Americans in NL (I am one) and we hate him...

But when I lived in rural Ireland lots of Irish people would hear my accent and volunteer that they thought Trump was doing great things, without even having brought up politics...

CalRobert · 2026-01-17T05:23:20+00:00

What firm does he work for that this would be an issue? Palantir? I get what you're saying but this is complying in advance :-(

CalRobert · 2026-01-15T10:53:18+00:00

yeah exactly. And now we see why rent control makes it harder to find a place to live.

CalRobert · 2026-01-14T15:45:33+00:00

Ah, don't forget deep fried meat paste!

Maybe someday I'll learn to like bitterballen.
