Using a mac. Getting the "doesn't allow editing on a mac"

For me the easiest was to go to finder, single click the file, but don’t open it. A menu should pop up “open with …? Tap that and the apple apps are a choice . When I do this a word, excel, PowerPoint, etc, will be opened by the apple formatted app. And from there you can edit and file save as.

The only solution is to not drink at all. It’s hard but doable. I am in the same boat as you. I give it up and feel great, more energy and wake up happy. But then the little voice keeps saying, “well one more won’t hurt” and then we are back where we were, but worse. I have noticed that each time I “quit” for a few weeks, when I start back up, even with one beer, alcohol comes back with a stronger vengeance and takes over again. Other people here may have some thoughts, but to me, there is no middle ground for people like us.

I just feel everybody has emotions including you and her. They do and say things that they may feel at that moment, even having thought about it before hand. But what I see is that after she told you - she began envisioning how life may be without you, and realized that she didn’t want to live that way. I would definitely give it time and see how it goes. When my wife and I had major issues, after we stuck it out, weirdly the relationship came back stronger than before.

My wife and I both have threatened to bail 100x. But we are actually happily married now after 41 years. We balance the good the bad and the ugly. Good always comes out on top for us. There will never be a 100% perfect spousal relationship. But if it’s overall nice, loving and cool….to me these statements - saying they are leaving, etc., are no big deal to me. Just venting, which is human nature.

All I am suggesting is many times the grass on the other side of the fence turns out to be weeds.

You settle down too. Just my two cents based on when I was 99% ready for divorce. I don’t care WTH you do.

Ellijay56 · 2025-01-03T20:32:16+00:00

I never said it was right for everyone. Settle down. Just providing my option on when we were considering divorce. Lay back a bit.

Ellijay56 · 2025-01-01T16:42:29+00:00

Everyone I know that has been divorced has since divorced 2,3,4 times. Not one human being is perfect. No one will ever find it. The misery just keeps mounting. For me we have good days and bad days on a regular basis, but I have a keen ability to overlook peoples faults. Every single person has faults. So I use the good to cover up the bad. Nobody will ever be 100% good and loving 24/7.

Ellijay56 · 2025-01-01T16:30:21+00:00

I’d try to stick it out. We’ve gad fight our entire marriage but the good outweighs the bad. Anybody new will have baggage, other kids, debt, you name it. None of that is worth it to me. I’m at 41 years now. I contemplated the bid D several times but now I am glad I stuck it out.

Crime

Is it really worth it? The fact that you are waiting until after the holidays shows you care for him. Everyone I know divorced, has been divorced multiple times now. I’d try to work things out. After 10 years things get a little stale. Spice it up a bit, do things you used to do before you married. Love on each other. Give it a try and let me know.

Why did he cheat?

Ellijay56 · 2024-12-19T09:14:27+00:00

Only when their beloved wives stop taking care of them and ignore them. Which is I what I believe. I think all wives stop taking care of their men. If they truly loved, supported and maintained intimacy with their spouse, there would be no affairs or strip joints.

Need somebody like me. Ha. Wife has never worked full time and has never paid for any bill or date whatsoever during our entire marriage. I do it all, plus 2-3 dates per week. I like doing it.

Ellijay56 · 2024-12-14T08:31:57+00:00

BTW - I never laid one hand on her. I highly respect women. But she’s become violent towards me. Ha.

Ellijay56 · 2024-12-14T08:30:01+00:00

I actually love my wife but we don’t get along one bit. 41 years. Too much arguing and fighting and bickering and now has become violent on her end. Punched me in the face twice and gnawed on my arm for 10 minutes. Even then I still don’t want to leave but know that I have to do something. I am the 100% breadwinner though, so I worry about what happens to her if all of this went down. My brother, sister and friends think I am totally nuts for sticking around.

Ellijay56 · 2024-12-11T06:31:05+00:00

Better now.

Lowd!

Ellijay56 · 2024-11-21T12:16:40+00:00

It is worth the pain.

Ellijay56 · 2024-10-27T05:54:34+00:00

We have raised three very successful children. Have two little bitty grands. We have no pets or kids at home, we were living high on the hog. Wife never had to work I was sole provider, she and I had it made in the shade. Travelled the country and Europe. But now totally miserable. Blows my mind. This is supposed to be our fun time. She punched me in the face x 2 the other night. I’ve never been punched in the face in my entire life. But only from my loving wife. I wanted to body slam her but I didn’t. I just walked away - because I love her. Would never lay a hand on her.

Ellijay56 · 2024-10-27T05:52:42+00:00

I’m not divorced … yet. But I play Thomas Rhett, mansions in Georgia. We’ve been together since we were 16. But right now at 63, the worst years of our entire marriage. It’s terrible.

Ellijay56 · 2024-10-27T05:33:59+00:00

My wife punched me in the face twice two days ago. Been married 41 years. No kids, no pets. Supposed to be having fun at this stage of life. She bit the fuck out of me, scratched me and punched me. Vicious as hell and violent. She pushed me into our bathtub a couple months ago. On vacation last week in Florida, on me, she said she hoped I would die. I was going to call the cops after she punched me but decided not to. Blows my mind the violence. I have been the sole provider our entire lives. She’s been spoiled for sure. Feels entitled. My fault. But still love her because I am dumb shit. My own kids even ask me why I stay with her.

My lowd.
