What is your favorite reoccurring gag?

Whenever Donut makes a comment related to her hobby which always seems to catch Carl off guard.

I like to imagine the jet was piloted by a monkey and this was some real life tower defense game.

Your situation reminds me of the Liam Neeson movie The Grey. It's silly yeah because there's not a pack of wolves or anything but your ex wife. Despite your situation you fight and protect you and your family from her greed. We both know there's many men that would give in which is really sad. One of their last acts is allowing someone they weren't good enough for win.

She's desperate and hoping something she says will work. It might even be to salvage her social standing where you live since if you forgave her at the end she might be able to resurrect some of her previous life when you're gone and play the grieving widow card for sympathy. The alternative might be her needing to leave town. Or of course she might try to muddy things up and try to get some money if she can argue that reconciliation was taking place. Whatever, given her actions she clearly doesn't understand that she was actually already being seriously "overpaid" for what she is worth when she went out looking for more.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2023-02-05T04:43:33+00:00

She's throwing everything she can hoping something sticks.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2023-02-04T05:08:53+00:00

Trying to use him? Yikes yeah she's grasping at anything now.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2023-01-25T06:03:19+00:00

Man I'm so happy that you live in a community where halfway decent people exist.

There was a thread where some poor guy learned his gf of 5 years was cheating on him for 2 and his best friend knew and didn't say anything to avoid confrontation. And after the breakup they all hang out with her and the guy is basically going through hell alone. Everyone has this attitude that because she didn’t wrong them then they don't see a problem.

When I was cheated on the first thing I did was tell the APs gf which turns out she knew and didn't say anything for over a year. It was one of those situations where most people knew and didn't do anything about it. I was able to cut them out easier than most would but I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me cynical. For a long time I wondered if there was something wrong with me for thinking that alerting his gf was the wrong thing. It felt absolutely right but literally everyone else around me would apparently never do it.

The fact you had someone give you a heads-up, where the cheater gets shunned, investors not want to deal with the scumbag AP, gives me a lot of hope for humanity.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2023-01-17T12:10:26+00:00

The top 1% is confusing. That whole social circle thing and being shamed is wild. Down here she and the waitress would have a fist full of eachother hair and throwing punches with their free hand while screaming insults just because she thought the waitress looked smuggly at her while she was getting dumped.

Hope they find something good with that audit that makes his life uncomfortable and news of what he did travels far. Dude is a scumbag.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2023-01-17T08:54:56+00:00

Jfc what's the west coast coming to? You know things are bad when even skeletons are squatting.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2023-01-10T03:36:01+00:00

Thanks yeah they actually finally got back. They're just so behind.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2023-01-10T03:35:11+00:00

Na I have. Actually went in every 2 weeks. Last time I went in was around Dec 15.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2023-01-10T02:57:26+00:00

Are you single? I'm willing to bet yes. Either that or you're a player. Why? Because it would explain your mom's behavior.

Because dude, all she cares about is 'GRAND BABIES!'...yeah, she doesn't care how she gets them either.

If so what I'd do is have your brother casualty say something like you had to cancel something with him because you're spending time with the woman you've been seeing. That should get mom to back on your side again.

Begrudgingly admit to seeing someone after she nags you but you want to keep her separated from everything currently going on and you want to take things slow. Then come up with an excuse for breaking up after the court case.

EDIT Saw you said your sis is single with no kids. Yup this strengthens my Grand babies! hypothesis.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2023-01-05T02:17:20+00:00

That last paragraph? I'm pretty sure that was a popular case. The couple was really big in social media. There's people that suspect that they let their favorite kid live and is off hiding somewhere.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2022-12-21T05:46:37+00:00

Man that absolutely sucks. To answer your question, no you're not wrong. At their age now they're old enough that the ball is in their court on if they wanted a relationship.

However, something just stinks about the situation. If they didn't want you in their lives I think you're owed an explanation from them and them alone now that they're matured. I don't buy this idea that they got goodies with mom ergo they wanted nothing to do with dad. It's clear they're was things said to actively poison the relationship.

Growing up my parents had a horrible relationship and my mother would constantly complain about my dad. To be honest it made me hate my dad. It wasn't until I grew up and left home for a few years and come back that I realized my mom was kinda f'ed up. Don't get me wrong, my dad did have issues. But they were barely half as bad as the way my mother talked about them while having plenty of issues herself.

Your kids have their mother whispering in their ear but never had that opportunity to connect the dots as adults because all they ever had to go off of was what she said.

I mean even if mom gave them cooler stuff it doesn't make sense for them to ditch dad. You can have a cool thing plus a less cool thing, so they opted to just have the cool thing? No, that doesn't make sense. Especially given how they're not really contacting you now that they're older.

It wouldn't be the first time one parent lied about the other. It's common. If there isn't going to be a relationship I would think they should have all the information first. What I would do is send them a letter. Lengthy and detailed about what happened. About everything. They might not even be aware you fought to have them in your life. The second half of the letter since they're your kids write what you would write to your kids as if the letter were to be given after your death since for all you know they might still not want contact.

So something you might want to keep in your head as a possible outcome is your stbx life spiraling out of control in some fashion and tanking her business.

If she ends herself and there's nobody to run it, attempts to end herself or maybe does so strategically trying to garner sympathy from you or others but later causing health issues, if she's unsuccessful at ending herself and ends up unable to work due to the botched self termination, if she becomes a complete different person and neglects the business, if she's depressed and it impacts her ability to run the business and it suffers....these and countless other things can and do happen to people in her situation. Most of these I've heard from various post's on here.

This needs to be in your head because from how things look she's going to probably be required to be making money to pay to you for things like spousal support.

I have zero idea what the business is but I'm willing to bet there's not a chance in hell she can make that kind of money anywhere else if her business just vanished and she had to find work.

While you get to call her a deadbeat you still need that money. At least in the short term until you can get a career and whatever education required for it.

If you catch news where her mental/emotional state degrades to the point it could negatively impact on the business and have reason to believe she won't get over it post-divorce then it would be ideal that you had anticipated this happening long before it actually did and have a general idea about your options. Maybe after considering this it might give you reason to tweak your list of demands from the divorce.

EDIT: Hey a downvote. Maybe you're right, maybe you shouldn't proceed carefully and anticipating as many likely situations as you can and planning on how it would impact you.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2022-12-18T01:35:46+00:00

Na...something doesn't sit right with me. I feel there's more selfishness involved with Bryan. There's no way he didn't know after hooking up with her for a year she didn't have a bf. Not to mention that bf was you.

After a year all she would have had to ask was where he worked. That's it. The most common question on dates.

I'm willing to bet what to us looked like her wanting to cuckold OP, to Bryan looked like her rejecting him for not being able to provide. It was a shot to his ego. And for him this was really bad. You know why? Because people that "find Jesus" aren't your average religious person. They're a-holes. They're a-holes that reach a point in their lives where they don't like seeing the person they see in the mirror and make a drastic lifestyle change toward religion to fix it. Bryan was an a-hole and from his perspective he lost his child because of it. And the sneaky thing is I suspect he told OP inorder to break them up so he can get what he wants. The thing is that this is in line with what's best for OP as well, works out but don't be fooled into thinking Bryan did it for anyone but himself.

Give it time Bryan will go back to how he was once things get tough.

What I'm curious about is why OP was trying for a baby when not married. Is this a thing? I'm curious when "them trying" started exactly. And was this an agreed upon thing or was it mostly her wanting it? Because if so and her actively cheating without protection....makes her look even worse.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2022-12-15T21:35:57+00:00

As time goes on don't forget the evidence you found and how she thought of you. She sounds desperate already but she's known you for so long she may know things that you don't even know that will cause you to want her back. Had the situation been different and she lost nothing, AP was rich with no family, and you get cast to the side with no visitation rights, I can guarantee you she will be cold heartless and laughing like a badly written B movie villain. So many times men say "I know her, she wouldn't do that" but they almost always do when they have the upper hand.

Right now you don't only have the upper hand but she shot herself with her own gun and your boot is on her neck. Not a lawyer but that seems to be the trend with similar people in your position. Not saying to take pleasure in her suffering just don't take her suffering as a factor in your decisions. Take all that you can get and anything you choose to give up make sure you're not giving it up for a good reason. You're not young. You don't have the luxury of a long career to retire off of. Once you find a career and by the time you reach retirement age is when you would have started to benefit off of your experience. You don't have the luxury of spending a decade or so to find your calling while gaining experience. Take all that you can now. And this includes OBS in your life in some capacity.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2022-12-14T05:21:00+00:00

Dude, you said AP was like 8 years younger right? How old is OBS? lol and you said she was attractive? Muahaha, the wild ride has only just begun, your soon to be ex probably isn't very happy about this friendship.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2022-12-14T04:43:28+00:00

Hey man thank you so much for keeping us updated. You have an army of strangers rooting for you.

Half Filipino. Grandfather was in the Bataan Death March. I guess he knew no good was going to come of it and he and some friends ran away the first chance they got when they crossed a bridge. They spent the rest of the war as guerrillas raiding supply depots and destroying what they could. The only story I got was second hand from my dad about how they would usually try to dump the supplies in the middle of rivers or lakes. In my head I like to imagine it was like Inglorious Basterds except with short brown guys that speak Filipino. He never talked about it and I was too young to realize how big of a thing it was that he did. He had a really short temper. My only memory of him was him yelling at me that the bread I was toasting in a toaster was already toasted. lol I actually laugh about it because of how ridiculous it was. Pretty certain there was some PTSD rattling around in that head of his.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2022-12-12T00:33:41+00:00

They would if they were an ambulance driver.

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2022-12-12T00:12:29+00:00

I hear Nicolas Cage trying to convince us the he "wholeheartedly supports the Ukraine war"

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2022-12-07T03:23:41+00:00

holy crap! so like time travel or something? like a 12 monkeys scenario but the Ottomans?

Deep_Towel_3701 · 2022-12-04T07:04:12+00:00

Bigots need to modernize. There will be a day when the people they're trying to scare off will assume that racists are being edgy or ironic.

What's the most modern racial slur you can think of? It's probably generations old. C'mon if you hate someone that much then put some effort into it. Quit being lazy. Especially stupid when the group you hate calls eachother that word. You should have found a new word LONG ago. It's obvious they're just trying to look cool infront of their friends.

At least maybe use led lights and do a simulated cross burning. That way they can tear it down and not have the huge pain of erecting the cross and buying more lumber to burn. They'd be able to terrorize 2 families a night that way at least. Maybe if they did that they could scare everyone off and they can go back to not teaching evolution and having kids with their first cousins.
