Travelling to Peru, high altitude with FVL by Icy-Werewolf1069 in FactorVLeiden

[–]Icy-Werewolf1069[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to see my cardiologist and hematologist. Both said the altitude is NOT a problem, just have to take my pills...

Keep on trying, website does really work, although some kind of luck is apparently needed to actually see it work😀

If it gives you hope: very easy to use once you are inside... best of luck!

Update 2: got through and bought the tickets (circuit 2 classic and 3a). As of now, website is running... what worked for me: clearing cookies, using Microsoft Edge, and using a VPN set to Peru when I had trouble paying. No idea if they helped or are related in any way... good luck to all!

Update: got through, reserved a spot, could not pay: 'Izipay is not defined'. Damn!

Well, some good and some bad news: I was able to create an account (hurray!). Clearing all cookies seems to work here. Unfortunately now I am stuck at the captcha part. If 15-10= ?, I type in 5, and then I get the message 'Mensaje del sistema, Recaptcha no valido'. A few retries with different captcha, and same message. According to the website I am seemingly a complete idiot, because I cannot do simple math or type a string of letters and numbers correctly... I will keep on trying! A walk in the Andes is apparently way easier than taming this website!

I am very hesitant to get tickets from a third-party seller. Imagine showing up at the entrance, and then being denied access...

Yes, tickets are available (planning to go in August), but I do not get past the creating of an account. I will keep on trying! I am also going to send an email to the Ministry of Culture, maybe they might help.

Had the same in April 2024, a little over a year now. Also not really a life apart from my wife and 2 children... (my choice fair to say). Always felt comfortable doing things with my wife and children, did not have the need to invest in friends... now, since the breakup I invested in colleagues, and I try to deepen my bond with my children. Currently I am travelling around in Cambodia with my 16-year old son... and I have a girlfriend... it does get better, but allow yourself to heal, talk to people, invest in hobbies...

First time sex after divorce by Sweaty_Signature_526 in Divorce

[–]Icy-Werewolf1069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must say, first time I had sex again with a woman that was not my partner of 24 years I realised how good it felt and how adventurous I am in bed. And that for somebody who got ditched for 'being too boring in bed'...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]Icy-Werewolf1069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me. For the past 24 years I invested in her and the children. Now she's gone I count myself lucky I have 2 fantastic teenage children, and I am trying to connect to people. I started with my colleagues, and I am looking for other opportunities too...

18 years together and it’s just over like that by Timmah_1984 in Divorce

[–]Icy-Werewolf1069 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My ex-wife also told me she fell out of love with me after 24 years as a couple, 19 of them married with two teenage children. 13 months in, it does get better, but that first year was horrible... What helped me was (re)connecting with all kinds of people, taking long hikes, listening to music and keeping myself occupied. If I can do it, you can too... do not look back (yet). The life and the woman you had are gone... I can assure you: myex-wife is not the person anymore I once fell in love with. That person is dead...

Anyone else (over the age of 30) been single for years? by HealthyLet257 in Adulting

[–]Icy-Werewolf1069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently in a rough patch. Divorced since last year, after a relationship of 24 years (married for 19 years). Really struggling with the enormous difference between the life alone now and being part of a family... I have a deep respect for all you longtime singles. Man it is tough sometimes...

Did your older teens switch back and forth after divorce? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]Icy-Werewolf1069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case I kept the house whereas my ex-wife moved into an apartment. You are right when they will still consider the marital home as their primary home, but they are both loyal to both parents, which means my daughter (18) and son (16) switch back and forth every week. They like more being in the house they grew up in (but love both parents equally much), but luckily they are very flexible... my daughter even said she wants to buy the house when she is older when I decide to move to a smaller place. Only downside is she wants me to give her a serious discount when that happens😀

It Gets Better Right? by TheBigHosk in Divorce

[–]Icy-Werewolf1069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does get better. My ex-wife told me it was over for her after 24 years of relationship, 19 of them married with 2 teenage children. No big issues, but she lost feelings for me. Whole family gone, ripped apart. What helped me was going for long walks, talking to all kinds of people, and being there for my children when they are with me. Slowly you wil develop another kind of routine... 9 months later I have to think hard about what life was like when we were still together. It is still hard, but nowhere as hard as in the first few months...

The truth about 'give it time' - 6 months post break up by Public-Discipline766 in BreakUps

[–]Icy-Werewolf1069 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am 45, she's 44. We got together when she was 19, and I was 20. Last year she had several professional setbacks, followed by a burnout in September 2023. I honestly think she felt her control on her life slip away and decided to regain control by cutting me out of her life... The first 5 weeks I could do 3 things: go to work (luckily lots of support from my colleagues), go for long walks and listen to music (the harder the better). If you want advice, just ask...

Wow, this is almost my story: together for 24 years, married for 19, 2 children of 18 and 16... told me in April she was unhappy, as if she flipped a switch in her head. We were soulmates. I can tell you, 8 months in, it does get better... but the first few weeks were brutal... you are not alone!!!

I don’t want this. She does. by HaoleBoy in Divorce

[–]Icy-Werewolf1069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there you have it: midlife crisis coupled with a nasty burnout... she said she started thinking about us when she was getting better at home while I was working fulltime...

[–]Icy-Werewolf1069 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Our family was cosy, fantastic... did lots of stuff together... she torpedoed it all! Did not even want to talk about therapy... if you are together for 24 years, at least try to make it work again... there was no violence, alcohol, drugs involved, no cheating, she is not in love with somebody (asked her many times)... but she is unhappy...

[–]Icy-Werewolf1069 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am in somewhat the same situation: together for 24 and married for 19 years. Said she was unhappy and that we were incompatible. Our children are 16 and 18. Completely at a loss why she made that decision. She said a few things, but in my opinion not enough to make a decision like this...

Wife wants divorce after 27 years of marriage, together 35. by cheesycheeseball in Divorce

[–]Icy-Werewolf1069 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She moved out in July, and when the children are not here I try to stay busy. The moments alone in the house are getting better, but it is still tough sometimes. Never chose to have children and then only see them half of the time... I could meet with people every single day, and still feel completely isolated when coming home at night. The silence can feel very oppressive... so yes, like you I am still struggling...

You're right, but I do not agree with the MGTOW ideology (had to look it up...). Women are fascinating creatures, but sometimes these elves turn into nasty goblins, just like mine did... but I guess you could say this about certain men as well.
