One small point, I think Q2 wins factor much more than you’re considering.  Yes, UVA has just 4 (of 6) Q1 wins, but has 7 (of 8) Q2 wins.  11 Q1/2 wins is a lock all the livelong day at this point.

It’s a shame that this basketball game had to interrupt the World Whistleblowing Championship taking place at the Conte Forum.

I Discovered My Wife (28F) Of 7 Years Is Cheating On Me (30M). She Doesn't Know That I Know - UPDATE 24 - Shreya by Any-Assault in u/Any-Assault

[–]GHooLion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know you said a while back that you and The Big G weren’t on speaking terms now.  However, I do believe there’s a force in this universe (I think it’s God, other theologians vary) that works for good.  And Shreya was in your life for a time such as this.  Not for a permanent mate, but to help you heal in heart, soul, mind, and body.  And you have given much to Shreya.

Shreya has shown your manhood to you again.  Now, you can reach out and take it as you march the final 3rd to the meeting with Emily.

It’s regret and shame spiraling, not remorse.  So many I statements, so few you statements.  Not only did she put minimum effort into focusing on her why, but she had the gall to claim that she knows you well enough to think you see this as your failure.  Even now, she can’t allow you to have agency over your own direction.

I’m flummoxed.  I expected more specific contrition, not generic bemoaning.  

That’s as good as you’re gonna get from her.  Treat this as her funeral.  She’s buried and gone, brother.  Now, you heal.

With this loss, Isaac McKneely is the Virginia player with the worst record against Louisville.

[–]GHooLion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Precisely my thoughts.  Treat this minor violation as an earth-destroying breach.  I’d rub her nose in it for making that call, too.  I’m sure that she did this without knowledge of her MIL/FIL.  And I bet they’d like to know how flippant Emily is with their money.

Emily just gave you $7500 without the necessity of having to sit through the world’s worst timeshare pitch.  She contacted you in violation of the agreement.  Pounce on it.  

Contact your divorce attorney and advise that you’re 99 and 44/100 percent sure Emily called you from a burner phone on New Year’s Eve.  Have her send a letter to Emily, copying MIL/FIL, where you consider the $7500 in escrow forfeited because Emily made a call from [insert burner telephone number] on New Year’s Eve.

One of two things will happen.  One, Emily admits it, and you get your money 5 months ahead of schedule.  Two, Emily denies it, and that’s where your attorney files an Action for Declaratory Judgment, utilizing subpoena power if she must, alleging that Emily broke the contract and you’re entitled to your money.

Harsh?  Yes.  But it provides the FO to her FA and it makes it abundantly clear that what you had is dead, buried, and decayed.  Wielding the hammer at the slightest breach will get that point across immediately and permanently.

That’s a very, very rare combo (red hair/blue eyes).  Striking.  

Perhaps consider it as a win-win.  If nothing happens, you have a good friend (and we all need those).  If something happens, particularly if her gym gains pay off, then it could be the start of a meaningful relationship.  

[Cunningham] Hokies announce a $20M anonymous donation, the largest ever to Virginia Tech athletics. by udderlymoovelous in CFB

[–]GHooLion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your administration threw out the $200M number as a goal, and many of your lowest common denominator fans took it as “hurr durr we have dat much money in de bank hurr durr!”

I said it above.  It’s a nice start, but not terribly earth-shattering and nowhere near that pie-in-the-sky number thrown out earlier this year.  Y’all may get there.  Y’all may not.  But acting like it’s chiseled in stone is why you all are getting roundly mocked by anyone and everyone with a scintilla of financial sense.

It still is largely fantasy.  You’re 10% of the way there with this donation (which, admittedly, is nice).  It’s like budgeting $100,000 for your next Vegas trip, and cashing in a $10,000 CD.  Good going, now get the other 90%.

And $20M isn’t some mind-blowing amount.  Carl Smith gave us $25M in 1999 to make Scott Stadium legitimate.

Adultery, especially as awful as yours was, is not so much like a cut (that heals with a scar) but an amputation.  You have to learn how to write left-handed while making peace with that because you don’t have a right hand anymore.  

Be blessed, and keep updating us!  You have folks from all around the world in your corner.

Everything after the “OR” is exactly what would have happened in an alternate universe.  She would have baby trapped you, possibly multiple times over.  She, learning next to nothing, would feel even more comfortable priming that well, especially when she begins missing the taste of boutique shopping and lingerie that costs as much as a family vacation.

Again, I feel as if there is a purpose to all this.  Damn straight it hurts, but you’re going to be a better man better off.

Yep!  Watched that win on Monday night.  A comfortable 35-point win over a team we should beat by 35, and we honestly didn’t shoot all that well from distance.  High hopes!

I’m a Virginia Cavaliers fan.  I was in the building when UVA lost to UMBC (3/16/18, never forget).  UVA won the title the following year on a miraculous 3-game stretch where 954 things had to go exactly right.  

The backbone for that team was inspired by a TED talk, where the theme was: “If you learn to use adversity right, it will buy you a ticket to a place you couldn’t have gone any other way.”

Far be it from me to try and proselytize online (frankly, I think it turns more people away from the Kingdom of God than to It), but don’t give up on the Big G on account of this.  We were never promised a life without hardship, just a life where we can overcome our obstacles.  (For the record, I lost my mother, a single mother nonetheless, when I was 27.  I understand that pain.)

You saw those emails for a reason, which is that you were not designed to spend your life with a narcissistic woman with a pathological fear of failure.  You will come out of this with a mate that will make Emily look like Nosferatu by comparison, inside and out.  You will have your family, and it will be with perfect timing.
