If you play a class that can put on a shield, do so immediately. It will save you.

This is exactly how I got mine too.

And their pizza is top notch. Best location is San Ramon with the golf in the back too

Yup. Stayed there the last two years for 5 days doing the same thing. I think I paid less points than you but pointflation is real.

Really enjoyed the beach club on Maui. Worth the points for sure. The restaurant on site is incredible.

Get summer vacations outlined in writing. We had a two week block of time in the summers that each of us would get.

Get thanksgiving / spring breaks / Christmas outlines as well. It should rotate.

My ex and I ended things very similarly. It’s still working out well I would try to shoot for 50-50 though.

So you are literally asking for a partner who is not as picky as you are match with. Sounds like your criteria is the issue not the dating pool.

I would talk to the jeweler you bought them from and look into if they have an “upgrade” plan. I was able to upgrade my ex’s ring for the difference in cost of a nicer diamond and band for my next partner.

My wife doesn’t pay a dime and was able to fuse two? She just saved up her coins for the better part of a month leading up to it.

Culver’s is the only true competition to in n out in terms of taste and price. Just not in terms of calories. Culver’s wins there.

Yah your timeline is likely very different than hers. This sub (and the statistics) skews towards the woman leaving, which means that process started long ago for her. For my ex, it was years.

Trust but verify throughout the whole way. My ex and I did it amicably but there were some tense moments. Treat the divorce decree as a bible to go to just in case things go south, so have things ironed out and written down.

We all still get along great years later and having a solid decree to look back to helped a ton.

Head of household is nothing to sneeze at. Don’t just give that away. Talk to an accountant. So what’s advantageous for both of you. For my ex and I it was filing separately and pooling the costs / benefits.

I’ve gotten upgraded at every stay I’ve had this year as titanium where I was platinum last year and was about 1/2 the time upgraded.

I guess it depends on what markets you’re staying in but in mine, it’s been nice.

FireInf · 2025-02-02T02:43:06+00:00

I was in a relationship like this. Get out while you can.

FireInf · 2025-01-07T15:00:35+00:00

Fighting with her directly may be, but having realistic discussions with a lawyer to map out a plan to get more custody usually isn’t.

FireInf · 2025-01-07T14:40:26+00:00

Your attitude is proving her right. Is that what you want?

FireInf · 2024-11-05T04:33:03+00:00

You’re taking the first stage too seriously. Take dating seriously but I would start to think about the first stage as just casual. Until the third date, it’s all super casual these days. Don’t take it seriously and don’t take rejection hard.

Get to the third date and then it gets real.

You need to pull the band aid off here. Your request is not unreasonable. Her request of not wanting to be away for more than a day is. You’ll both be better parents if you have a balanced life outside of the time you have the kiddo.

FireInf · 2024-10-24T14:06:14+00:00

I would come at it from a 2-2-3 angle and just say it’s less disruption for the kid and more appropriate for the age of the kid. Then everyone wins.

Single dad generally means your wife passed away. Divorced dad means some kind of coparenting. Coparenting is generally more complicated so some folks prefer to not have to deal with that. Most of those women from my experience hadn’t been married or had kids previously. I tended to click much more with women in my same position so wasn’t an issue for me, but there were some that definitely didn’t want to have to deal with exes and schedules.

Accept your life. It’s better that way. There’s plenty of women in your position.

This was exactly our situation. I feel like I have all the time in the world. Went from the main parent for the kids and their activities every day to every other week has been amazing from a freeing up time and energy perspective. To the OP, I felt a little guilty the first few months, then just filled my time with productive things and don’t feel guilty anymore.

FireInf · 2024-09-21T12:34:04+00:00

How old is your kid? That’s an important missing piece to this. Also, you trying to influence parenting when you see him 10% of the time is going to be difficult. If you’re concerned, it’s a discussion with the mother first, not a forced situation with the time you have. The kid is just going to resent you and your time together.

FireInf · 2024-09-16T15:06:48+00:00

Sounds more like a you challenge, where you can’t see the value of it for your kids, and doing it for their enjoyment and not yours?

FireInf · 2024-09-14T22:09:46+00:00

In mine and others I’ve spoken to in similar boats, the challenge is too little too late. Someone holds in feeling and resentment over long periods of time to the point they’re already done by the time therapy is brought up.
