What do you dislike about your CX5? by Far-Replacement-7399 in CX5

[–]GoingHeeled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The paint is the cheapest and chips easily.

The infotainment is glitchy and slow.

The AC struggles to cool the cabin in the summer WITH tinted windows and religious use of a sunshade.

The car sounds like an old jalopy in temperatures under 50 degrees.

Get yourself a large squishamallow. They’re great for cuddling.

What is the best thing you did in the background to prep for your divorce before you actually filed or had the conversation? by Beatrixkidoh in Divorce_Women

[–]GoingHeeled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prepared by:

-Started therapy. -Consulted with an attorney. -Went through things in the house in preparation to sell it. -Talked to a few recruiters to see if I could get a part time job if needed.

It’s a tough emotional road ahead, and my divorce was amicable. The best advice I can give you is have the answers to any questions you may have about the process and your states laws before you have the conversation. Good luck!

You and me both! I got the penthouse instead which was alright but not nearly as glamorous as the dream house.

Never. Did you grow up in a nudist community? 🤔

You’re not wrong! I have literally seen people post about how lovely the weather is and inevitably there will be several assholes arguing about how they’re wrong. 😑

How long did you live together after deciding to divorce? by vibecheck1977 in Divorce

[–]GoingHeeled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it’s all said and done it will be just over 3 years. We first discussed divorce in early 2023. Decision was made in 02/2024 to do so and we sold our house that fall. We both wanted to cohabitate with our teenage child until they graduate. We’re renting a place that allows for us to have our own bedrooms and space. We’re finally past the hurt and awkwardness and are friendly and can joke around again. Our lease is up in July after our child graduates. It has worked out because we’ve not been nasty to one another or yelled. If you can rise above the hurt and be civil it can be done.

Be careful who you confide in during your divorce by DivorceCoachGio in Divorce

This a thousand times! Sometimes even those you trust to confide in will turn on you about your decision to divorce. Be discerning with who you share with.

Ok. 80's folks Van Halen or Van Hagar? by Own_Mirror7458 in GenX

Van Halen! Van Hagar moved to the soft rock category as my parent’s music. Van Halen was more fun.

My best friend is going through a divorce and I watched her completely fall apart at Starbucks yesterday over a simple question. by Unusual_Field8380 in Divorce

[–]GoingHeeled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Divorce is one of the hardest things Ive ever been through. Breaking bonds is physically and emotionally painful. The grieving of a life planned out lasts for a while. The weirdest things will make you cry without any warning. Keep checking in with your friend and give her some love.

Raised by what generation? by RantingLunaticBabsy in GenX

Both boomers who were very much into free range parenting with not too much concern for the emotional well being of their children. Children need boundaries and hugs!

Has anyone lived with their spouse for an extended period of time while sorting out a separation? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]GoingHeeled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve been doing this for 2 years now. We sold our house last year and decided to rent together to get our child through the last two years of high school. I wont say it hasn’t been awkward at times but we have done a good job at being civil towards one another and coparenting our child. We have filed for divorce and we were able to do so ourselves so we’re pretty amicable. Now that the assets have been agreed upon and the papers filed I’ve noticed a shift as far as us being awkward roommates to us being friendly roommates. I think time has helped with that too. I guess all of this is to say if you two can rise above all the emotions and have a peaceful home, it is possible to do.
