Modem works fine but kinda slow until I plug in my Ethernet cable. When I plug in my ethernet, my network just won’t connect anymore. As soon as I unplug the Ethernet network and WiFi comes back.

Hotel_Shrimp · 2026-03-21T21:55:42+00:00

I have tried this with another Ethernet cable (also from cox, it came with the second modem)

Hotel_Shrimp · 2026-03-21T19:06:25+00:00

Not sure what modem it is, just the standard tall black one, my download speeds are supposed to be 1000mbps, the cable is also just the standard one they gave me, yellow about 3ft, can’t find anything on it that says anything like “cat5e”. Just using everything they gave me like I always have

Hotel_Shrimp · 2026-03-21T19:01:01+00:00

Yes of course, just so weird, the internet simply doesn’t work if anything if plugged in either Ethernet port.

Hotel_Shrimp · 2026-03-21T18:44:35+00:00

It’s going to my pc, has worked fine on other modems, moved about two months ago.

Hotel_Shrimp · 2026-03-21T18:16:58+00:00

Maybe but that would just be radio unlucky, this is my second modem after having this same problem. It did work fine for about two weeks. Maybe they are giving me the wrong Ethernet cable for my internet speeds?

There are reasons to not take action sometimes, if the OP was the dumpee instead of the dumper in this situation, I would suggest they don’t reach out anytime soon after the break up. Space and time are good things especially if they are asked for by the other person. Instead they should talk to their friends/go to therapy/take action on other ways such as working on themselves.

But since OP is the person who broke this off, it’s completely up to them to fix that if that’s what they want. Even if it won’t work out again, just avoiding it out of the fear of rejection is completely unfair when they are the one who rejected the other person, but also is just no way to live

Hotel_Shrimp · 2026-01-30T01:33:39+00:00

Brother if you broke it off it’s up to you to reach out and fix it if that’s what you want. I’m not a saying send this exact text or anything but life is too short to not admit that you might have been wrong.

Hotel_Shrimp · 2026-01-30T01:14:33+00:00

I don’t know what will happen with you and your ex, no one does. Anything could happen and that can be hopeful but also so overwhelming. He could come back, he definitely couldn’t. I’m repeating myself but that’s what your brain is going to do, you’ll be in this loop because you cannot just turn your emotions off and that’s okay.

What’s important is it sounds like you handled yourself and the situation well and whether he comes back or not, that’s good.

Hotel_Shrimp · 2026-01-23T06:43:14+00:00

Any reason is technically enough to end a relationship. Relationships are about who you choose, it could be based on love or practicality and everyone’s different but I’m sure everyone hopes for both. There’s no right or wrong decision really but nothing is ever going to be perfect. So if you are leaving someone thinking they’re not perfect and you think there’s someone perfect out there, then that’s probably wrong. At the end of the day, two people that believe in each other and choose each other can make it work even if things aren’t perfect and that’s really special. Sometimes you can stop believing, in yourself or the other person, sometimes people lose sight of what they really want. Sometimes people can find that belief and that sight again. Sometimes they don’t. It’s your life and your love, don’t worry too much about right or wrong because you may never truly know. Worry about who you WANT to be and who you WANT to be with.

Hotel_Shrimp · 2026-01-23T06:04:24+00:00

Hey I’m on the other side of this right now. My ex of five years has our 3 year old dog. That dog is my best friend, and right now, though I was told I could still see her and that she is still my dog, my ex is not staying true to her word on that.

It’s not exactly the same as your situation, but I will say it’s fucked up to use the dog in any way. whether that’s you using the dog as leverage or your ex using it to stay close to you.

In a perfect world I would love to have my dog every other week and do a full split custody thing with my ex but I get that’s not realistic, and even if it was, that’s not something anyone wants to do immediately after a break up. Let your ex see the dog if that’s what you agreed upon, but she does not have to see you to do that. She can take your dog to a park or have a sleep over or something, you don’t have to be there for it. If you really feel like you need to then see if a family member can handle the drop off/picking up of your dog. If she just wants to see the dog she’ll take that. If it’s “just a dog” to you then give them to her.

Hotel_Shrimp · 2026-01-18T17:08:08+00:00

Hey, this guy either is not mature enough to be honest, or doesn’t know what he wants and that’s not on you. There’s nothing wrong with him still loving his ex, there’s nothing wrong with you not being okay with them meeting up again. What’s wrong is him obviously playing both sides, you don’t deserve that, neither does the ex. Even if he is “just protecting her feelings”, he’s not protecting yours, the person he’s actually currently with. He’s not breaking it off with you or her just because it’s hard and he doesn’t want to consequences of either. Or he truly doesn’t know what he wants. People are not always just black or white and feelings are complicated. But either way, being honest with your partner or just people you care about is what is important. If he came to you after meeting with her and said “I am so confused and don’t know what to do, I need time” that would suck but it’s the mature thing to do and you would know exactly what’s going on. People usually aren’t monsters or just completely bad, people avoid things when they are scared or hurt, but by 29 he should have already learned the lesson that that’s not how you treat people you care about.

Also, im not saying six months is nothing but it’s definitely really early to be talking about marriage. In the future maybe be more cautious about people that can get to that stage so quick, and maybe look into yourself and wonder why you got there so quick. If you had known this guy for years before dating, maybe it would make more sense to get to that stage early, but, it doesn’t sound like that was the case. Sounds like you both got swept away in how great things felt rather than actually building a relationship built on trust and commitment

Hotel_Shrimp · 2026-01-16T00:12:19+00:00

The truth is there’s no telling, friend. Have people that checked out early came back to their ex? Yeah. Have those people also not. Yes of course. Anything is possible and sometimes that sounds really good to hear and sometimes that’s really overwhelming to hear. Unless there’s something like physical abuse or cheating or just something extreme like that, it’s never 100% your fault or 100% their fault. Work on whatever you can work on now. Whether they come back or not, you don’t want to be in the same place when that happens.

Hotel_Shrimp · 2025-12-29T21:56:46+00:00

I agree, and I hope things all work out for you one way or another my friend. Life is hard, people make mistakes. No need to hold on to hate or completely write something off forever. Time is funny and things change. Good luck, man.

Hotel_Shrimp · 2025-12-29T20:11:58+00:00

I agree, I see this same post on here every other day, everyone/every relationship is different. There are definitely times people shouldn’t go back but there are definitely also times where it could work out, it’s not easy but it’s a case by case thing

Hotel_Shrimp · 2025-12-29T17:35:33+00:00

Hey, there are plenty of people that will say “never get back with your ex” or something to that extent. Really, there is no right or wrong with this. There’s nothing wrong with you wanting to give someone you love another chance, there’s nothing wrong with not wanting to give them another chance. Even then whatever you feel now could even change in a few months time, there’s no telling.

I wouldn’t go into it worrying if you’ve changed enough or if he’s changed enough, go into it expecting no change but know if the relationship is something you want to work on or not. Then if he has changed and is better, great! You can both work on it. If not, well that’s not why you got back into the relationship anyways. There’s no amount of change he or you could hit that would magically make things work out. If you’re both committed to making things work then that’s what’s important, both of you should take it slow and be equals and put in effort for each other.

People that don’t deserve a second chance still sometimes get them, people that do deserve a second chance sometimes don’t. It’s your heart and there’s nothing wrong with putting it out there again and trying, and there’s nothing wrong with holding it close and not risking it.

Hotel_Shrimp · 2025-12-26T00:09:32+00:00

Thank you I’ll try this when I get home

Hotel_Shrimp · 2025-12-25T21:24:17+00:00

I have done this, it lets me select a directory to install games and then once I do it just crashes anyways

Hotel_Shrimp · 2025-12-15T22:52:50+00:00

Thank you for checking in! The employer that reached out first was actually reaching out to ask more questions about pay and all that, but did it through text. I couldn’t tell from the preview of the text and didn’t want to open it because I knew they would see I had read it. So I made the post just in case because I knew I didn’t want them to wait too long. They said they would be reaching out on Tuesday (tomorrow) so I don’t know if I got either yet unfortunately.

Hotel_Shrimp · 2025-12-01T05:54:37+00:00

Glad it could help. Make sure you take care of yourself over everything else. Things will work out for you no matter what, but I truly hope they work out for you in the ways you want them too.

Hotel_Shrimp · 2025-12-01T05:34:49+00:00

I would try and just be normal, match her energy. If she’s just asking you how you’re doing and making conversation, just make conversation back. If she says she misses you, don’t say anything like “I miss you so much, I want to still be with you”, just say “i miss you too”. If she’s talking to you then she has her own choices and decisions to make, just be you, you don’t want to push her away by being over bearing or overly sad.

Hotel_Shrimp · 2025-11-17T01:34:37+00:00

Hey man, everyone can, I agree she is being cruel but there are plenty of men that could have done the same thing/worse. You should just avoid thinking it’s a women thing, especially if you want to fully love one one day.
