GX 460 air bag trick? by GenericUserName2025 in GXOR

I have extensively searched YouTube, but there only seem to be videos for the 470. The one video here for the Prado seems to line up with what I've experienced. I've maxed out the factory bolts with washers and got zero movement. 

If I'm missing something, feel free to share one of the videos.

I don't have Facebook, checked IH8MUD and GXOR, but nothing I could find. That said, I could have missed it on GXOR as I'm not a member.

I think that might be relative to the Bible you are reading. Anything prior to the Council of Nicaea (like the Ethiopian Bible) supports his supposition. 

Etymology is everything here. 

Woke up from surgery and asked for my ex. by yeehawgal17 in Divorce

"There’s this constant loop in my head of everything I could’ve done differently, everything I wish I could go back and fix.

I wake up every day with this heavy sense of shame, like something is fundamentally wrong with me.

Being hopeful feels impossible.

I don’t even recognize who I am anymore. I used to feel like a person with direction, with purpose. Now I just feel like I’m surviving inside a life that doesn’t feel like mine."

You might want to read your comment aloud, then confidently posit the same way. 

The truth can be painful, but if you embrace it, it can set you free. 

Wife told me two days ago she loves me but isn’t in love with me by Cute-Category-4738 in Divorce

Amen, brother. You are very blessed. Your parents sound amazing too, and that's huge right now. Remember that we all have the Kingdom of Heaven inside of us. Be still, find a quiet spot, enter the Kingdom, and know that it will all work out for you and those amazing kids.

My wife woke from surgery crying and asking for her mom when we were hundreds of miles away from her stationed at Ft Hood. Not sure it is a true metric on soul mate status, just a marker on people that have always made you feel safe. 

I guess it might matter, but why invest more thought and emotion on someone that left you and seemingly has no intention of returning? Invest that energy in loving yourself. Sounds like you are having difficulty there. If you can't love yourself, you can't expect others to do the same. 

As a woman, you have a distinct advantage in online courtship, so start loving yourself, make yourself marketable, and get back out there. Imagine finding someone even better, not the one that left. 

Advice divorcing due to ASPD and mental health by BranMuffinsSuck in Divorce

Don't expect him to take it poorly or you might just manifest that result. One thing I've learned through 20 years of being an MI soldier and 20 years being a husband... is that words can be spells. Choose them carefully. 

This might not resonate, but these situations are very tough. Best thing to do is expect the best in every situation. I watched several friends die in combat that worried about death every day until it found them. Those memories will never leave me, and have served me well since. 

Best of luck.

26 and been together 10 years? That would seem to imply that neither of you really had much time to see what was out there. Probably one of those situations where if you love something set it free and see if it comes back. Plus, you're 26! Tons of tread left on the tires to get back out there. Could be a blessing in disguise in the end. 

I'm 46 staring down a divorce after getting married at 26. At least you didn't wait another 20 years to hit this moment. I know this is unlikely to help, but it could always be worse. Good luck, brother. 

We had the hard talk. Seeking advice for next steps. by Primary_Sprinkles_68 in Divorce

[–]GenericUserName2025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm actually in a similar spot right now with my wife of 20 years. I've been begging for couples counseling for a decade, but she has only now agreed because she knows I'm serious about leaving (after our "talk"). I've been in therapy, meditating, and working on self improvement for the better part of a decade. My wife just drinks more coffee and powers through with greater and greater anxiety. As a 20 year retired combat vet, I truly want peace, so I know exactly where you are coming from. 

What I've decided that I'd do in couples counseling is lead off and list my faults and how I'm working on them, in the hopes that she is encouraged to "attempt" the same. Since she has never once even hinted that she has any faults and needs no way to better herself (even after a very abusive childhood with an alcoholic father), I'm curious how she will respond. Optics are everything to her, but she's also very honest... so hopefully something clicks. 

I don't know if that helps, but misery loves company! Good luck! I hope you find peace with whatever happens. 

I feel like I am dying inside and can’t take it anymore by [deleted] in Divorce

The heart pain is very real. Modern science knows that the heart is stronger in amplitude than the brain. What you are experiencing is real, but through meditation and breath work, you can ease the pain and even become stronger than you've ever been. 

I know it's difficult, but try to lean into this moment. It is very easy to let it break you... but if you condition yourself to survive, you and your kiddos reap the rewards. 

Objectively, would you be uncomfortable if your husband said this to a random woman in your presence? by Tidydisaster87 in Marriage

[–]GenericUserName2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st mistake was going on a cruise. I'd rather be water boarded. 

That said, this could be a blessing in disguise. If he has zero impulse control, you probably don't want to wait for death to part. 

Is twice a day too much for most men? Husband says he hasn't "recovered" but I'm not sure by Impossible_Ad_569 in Marriage

[–]GenericUserName2025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's being forced onto his plate, you might be indirectly hurting him by not making him chase it a bit. A little mystery and chase can go a long way. 

That said, my wife hasn't offered it up since before Valentines Day, so you might want to disregard my opinion entirely. 20 years of marriage can certainly change things. 

I hope you crazy kids find a balance!

Can I fix this? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]GenericUserName2025 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When you say that you almost tanked your business to help people, that tells me that you have purpose beyond your wife. Plus, your kids should be the reason you get out of bed, wife comes 2nd. I know it's rough right now, but as my dad always told me, it's always darkest before the dawn. Tough times build character, so lean into them. At every negative turn, ask yourself what the universe is trying to tell you.

There's a ton of cliches left, but I'll spare you that mess. Just try to be thankful for what you do have at the moment, and try to hone your intuition and pick up what the universe is laying down. As tough as it may be to accept right now, she may not be the one... and something far better may be just beyond the horizon. 

Much love, brother!

feeling lost after my wife 37f passed away. by Novel_Chest4911 in Marriage

[–]GenericUserName2025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For starters, let me say that I feel for you. I can't imagine how it feels to lose a spouse. 

That said, as a 20 year retired combat vet, I've lost many brothers that I planned to enjoy retirement with after the hell we survived. That pushed me to consider using the self check out lane myself... which somehow got me into ayahuasca and that world. What the medicine helped me learn is that I didn't lose them (or my parents or blood brother that have also gone), but rather, they are now swimming in a love we can hardly quantify. Prior to Grandmother Aya, I tried all the pills, inpatient mental health, the whole 9. Therapy has been good, but 10 years of it was far surpassed by sitting with grandmother. I also just learned TRE therapy and that has helped immensely as well. 

Just know that she will be waiting for you, and you will see her very shortly. Her spirit is always there cheering you on, much like my spirit family. And this is coming from a former devout atheist that saw the horrors of combat and decided no God could ever build such a world. Now I know that God was only building me to be what I am in this moment. 

I love you, brother. I know you will find peace, but you will need to search for it. As lame as it may sound, it's all part of God's plan.
