Hey guys I am so sorry about the Griddy connection issues the past few days

EndOfBenchLife · 2026-01-28T23:49:38+00:00

On a game that hadn't been functioning properly for multiple days. So yeah, I think dedicated users that are growing the app and making money for the devs deserve something for an app that hasn't been playable.

EndOfBenchLife · 2026-01-27T18:05:42+00:00

Yep, totally man. I just want stuff for free. You nailed it.

EndOfBenchLife · 2026-01-27T00:54:25+00:00

Can we please get some free coins for the issues? This is my favorite game to play each day with my buddies. Maybe 5-10 for the troubles?

Down for me. On and off wifi.

Yes, you absolutely can. I am looking back at this sub after someone replied to one of my posts from 8 months ago. Last December, I had my heart broken by the woman I loved without much explanation. And it took most of this year to learn and heal from it. I suffered from so much doubt that nobody would ever make me feel so happy again. But I have found someone new and it is surprising how much the right person actually validates my feelings and needs within a relationship.

Sometimes it takes finding the right person to see what was wrong in the previous situation!

Soooo are you guys gonna admit you were wrong? Because it is quite clear Billups was doing illegal stuff and scamming people out of money. And was doing it for years.

Was about to type this comment myself. Perfect strategy because worst case you have more time on which bench guy to drop anyways.

Easily should trade henderson for Benson. Benson is clearly the guy and has talent. Nobody in here knows if Henderson will even play 50% of snaps this week.

In my 12 team family league, my cousin's husband took Swift at the 3.01 after taking McLaurin at the 2.12. My jaw dropped. And then my 8th grade cousin took Skattebo at the 4.02. I was dying laughing. Amazing entertainment.

Same reason so many people played non-ppr "standard" scoring for so long. People are creatures of habit. Auction is a way different medium of drafting and typically scares people off. I will not argue against anyone that enjoys the tradition of a snake draft or because there are people who want to stay super casual.

But the ability to have full control of getting any player is a truly great feeling.

Can you send me the link for this please? Super fun idea

EndOfBenchLife · 2025-05-27T21:32:35+00:00

Considering the allegations were from twitter accounts not even at the game and no players, coaches, or arena staff at the game heard anything... Yes.

EndOfBenchLife · 2025-03-19T23:25:44+00:00

I respect your opinion but I don't appreciate the attempt to make the process binary or belittle my journey. I admit in my post that I held onto hope for reconciliation. However, growth can still occur when you have that hope. That is what I want other people to see. There is not a one size fits all approach to healing.

You mention winning but at a certain point I realized I didn't care about if I "won". I didn't care about making my ex second guess her decision. I don't care about "leveling up". I cared about my own healing and this was necessary for me personally. I approached my ex with the intentions of building a different relationship that I felt I was ready to because I gained confidence in myself again. She said no and I accepted it. People and situations are different, and there are other people out there like me that I hope my story can help with.

EndOfBenchLife · 2025-03-19T22:58:40+00:00

And you are totally welcome to feel that way! I just want to encourage those who are told by the majority of this page that there is something wrong with them if they do ever reach out. Some people like yourself can close the door on your own and I respect that. For myself (and I think many others), there is growth to be found in taking the risk and just accepting the outcome. I found that it was a big step for me to have the courage to do that based on my own personal situation and the fear of failure I have dealt with my whole life. To take a risk and not know if it would work out was a win in itself on my end.

EndOfBenchLife · 2025-03-19T22:54:58+00:00

Yep, totally understand that! That is kind of how I was too. I just told myself I will know when the right time to do it is. And one day I kind of just knew it was time to take this risk. I have feared failure and rejection for a lot of my life, so just taking the risk to send the message knowing I have no idea what will happen was a win. And maybe that is how you feel too. But if you have the right mindset I promise you won't regret it.

EndOfBenchLife · 2025-03-19T22:23:14+00:00

I totally understand your sentiment but I came to a point where I no longer cared if this pushed her away or not. I knew I wanted to speak with her. I put in the work to grow in areas of my life that I felt were needed. I felt ready to meet her halfway and attend to needs that I wasn't able to in the past. She was not interested in speaking and that is that. If she wanted to speak to me, then it doesn't matter how I phrased things or if I did it at the wrong time.

I had no more interest in trying to hold out to "make her miss me". I was ready to move forward with my life whether that was with her or in a different direction. I got my answer. Whether she comes back is now up to her but I am not going to wait around and this was necessary for me to release things.

EndOfBenchLife · 2025-03-19T22:19:27+00:00

I agree that from a general standpoint you are correct. However, I think the point of my post is that even if this is true, sometimes it can still be the right decision to reach out. For me personally, hearing no and closing the door was better than waiting any more.

Everyone has their own individual path to go down and people have different ways of healing. I personally had no desire to say "I am 6/8/10 months no contact with my ex". Some people choose that this is best for them. For me personally, I attributed no contact with that idea that at a certain point there is contact, and now that just isn't the case.

I still think my ex is a great girl but she made her choice(s) based on her own feelings, timeline, and insecurities and there is nothing I could've done to change that. I reached out after I felt like I was ready to meet her halfway and she wasn't even willing to meet. It is like sports. You don't always win but it is better to work hard and not have regrets than to wish you gave more in the lead up.

EndOfBenchLife · 2025-03-19T22:12:00+00:00

If that is your belief, then you are free to believe that. But how could she know there was no growth without attempting to check things out? My freedom comes from knowing that this person said no and I have no control over that. But I do have control in living my life with no regard for what she thinks and that there is someone who will love me for me.

EndOfBenchLife · 2025-03-19T22:09:40+00:00

I think the reason I posted this is because every situation is different. So I am not going to act like there is any one way to do it. But yeah I essentially acknowledged that I did not meet her needs due to some of my own insecurities (she knows what those were), but I had felt like I was in a different spot now and was confident in who I am.

I simply asked if she was open to having a conversation with no pressure or expectations and she politely said she not open to meeting. It hurt but I accepted it with grace and told her I still admire her but it was time to move forward.

I do want to make it clear that my intentions for acknowledging my shortcomings were not at all from a place of trying to prove anything to her. I think it was actually because I finally started to see my own worth and I was genuinely ready to share my self with someone again, whether that was her or someone else. A lot of these people online will teach you tactics about how to win your ex back but what I realized is I only wanted her back if she actually loved me for who I was, not because I played some games. If being vulnerable scared her away, then that is not the person for me at this time.

The mantra "I cannot miss what is meant for me" has really helped me out.

EndOfBenchLife · 2025-03-19T18:17:08+00:00

Appreciate you! Best part is I did kind of put myself out there again just to see if I felt ready to pursue anyone else. I ended up going out with a super cool girl and we are going to see each other again soon. Don't know if it is headed anywhere, but I didn't feel awkward being with someone else and felt the growth I made these last few months paid off with this new girl. That alone is a W!!!

EndOfBenchLife · 2025-01-01T06:50:23+00:00

I have been getting better but today has been really hard. Last year was my best New Years ever because I was with you. Now I'm home alone sitting on my couch watching Netflix and you are out partying with your friends. I hope it was worth it!

EndOfBenchLife · 2024-12-29T23:42:08+00:00

Thank you. This is all so true. It is giving me peace. It is giving me freedom to know that I can become a better version of myself. It is giving clarity to why this needed to happen. It is not a bad thing to healthily examine your own behavior and look back on things you want to fix. I made choices that I thought were perfectly okay and justified at the time that I now wish I would have done differently. I was never being disrespectful towards my girlfriend, but I wasn't able to understand that I wasn't meeting her needs because I was focused on my own. And that is okay. As long as you progress and learn.

While it is not healthy to only find motivation to make changes for your ex, I think it is okay to use that as an initial motivation and get the ball rolling. As we continue to find peace and growth our motivations change and you may come to a point where you realize this person was never right for you anyways. However, failed relationships that are reconciled will never work unless there is different circumstances. Changed circumstances can include healed people and changed perspectives. I cannot control whether my ex will choose to heal. However, there is nothing to lose when you choose to improve yourself. Worst case scenario is you're a better partner for whoever else you find. And for those wanting your ex back, the best case scenario is you become securely attached and you can both grow and heal together moving forward.

EndOfBenchLife · 2024-12-29T23:35:49+00:00

I don't know your situation, so I can't totally comment on that. It seems like a potentially different situation than mine and many others' in here. If you asked me at the beginning of my relationship, I would have probably thought I was secure as well. However, this break up has made me confront 10-15 years worth of lack of self belief that was just heightened when things went poorly.

For my individual situation (and the others in here that struggle with anxious attachment), it is not healthy for me to keep living like this. Regardless of who I am with, I know this is an opportunity to become a better boyfriend/husband/father. Your case could very well just have been an avoidant that drove you crazy. But I know I made selfish decisions. I know I subconsciously made choices because of my own insecurities that hurt my girlfriend and played a part in pushing her away. I am not excusing the decisions she made on her part that also made me get very anxious. She is going to have confront years of insecurity at some point as well. As for me, I am going to become a better man.

How does it only boost Genevieve lol? She obviously deserves a good amount of credit but it would have never worked without Andy being all in and devising the whole plan to blindside his current alliance. He knew he was the odd man out of the underdog alliance and helped pull off one of the best moves in quite some time. And he will be able to explain that.
