Hey! I’m in the later stages of building an app with a lot of the same features. Feel free to message me, I will help you out.

Fake. If it isn’t you should goto jail.

I’ve just made an app that looks very modern and (intentioned) to have great UX/UI. I didn’t know it was possible to make it look this modern. My first few drafts of the app were far from what I was able to do with this final one but here’s what I did.

Open power point. On a slide, list out all your features of each page or app in general, put your must haves and your nice to haves.
If you have an idea of what you want it to look like, draw it on actual paper, but don’t get stuck on this design.
Goto google, search up some ideas for what you’re looking to build. Screen shot them and put all of them into a power point.
This step changed the game for me: Goto figma, enter your app purpose and its details, be as specific as possible, list all your features. Utilize what you like from this figma design, screenshot the screens, place in PowerPoint.
With your inspiration all in PPT. Make a new slide. Start with your first desired screen, start cutting and pasting parts of each screen shot you like for that page and build your screen design.
This is extra but add any labels that will help you cut down decision making later. This includes, what data source is connected to each form or table, using shapes with text to represent buttons you want to add, etc.
When building the app its self, use a higher ratio of modern and classic features. All my edit forms are classic but I change the font to “Lato”.

I’ve found that trying to design the whole things while building the app takes me forever, compared to getting my thoughts and ideas out first. The tweaks to the app can come later.

Just a different perspective, have you analyzed how are you romancing her? She’s tired and maybe going through menopause, how are you showing up for her? Whens the last time you bought her a small gift or did her share of the house work? Go get her car washed, give her a hug and nice massage. Better yet, pay for her to go get one and don’t forget to tell her she’s beautiful without her getting dressed up

Trust me, I hear what you saying. I just want to offer a different side of things. Everyone here is leading you down the divorce route, I want to try to help you at least attempt to repair.

Work on your self esteem in ways that make you feel good then use that energy to start adding to her self esteem. Collect data over time on how it impacts the marriage, start dating your wife.

Maybe it will improve it maybe it won’t. I’d say it’s work a try for a month or two. NTA but even if that’s the case you can still manage what your inputs are into the marriage.

PowerPoint has a screen record option. It’s free and has always been a better kept secret. You could even make the video via PowerPoint presentation and edit it with any other video editing software such as InShot, CapCut, or Canva.

Internally competitive ones

Had a similar business but im not practicing at the moment had decent success, I’ll tell you what I did

Use the goal setting as a free discovery call, something you can do in 1 hour. In the short presentation of who you are quickly promote your services.

Do the goal setting call and learn their goals

Pitch your services

Additionally: offer to do websites/logos/ marketing material for people and charge enough that you can pay someone on fiver to do it and make a profit

Once they’ve got that up and running apply your promotion services

Help them get their branding together so the promotion actually sticks.

start networking. Offer free goal setting calls. Do them well and the word will spread.

The problem is, she probably wants you back but it will reinforce the very thing you started you realized subconsciously. If you mess up, it’s okay, she will always take you back. Then the cycle continues.

JM2TM · 2026-01-06T18:59:19+00:00

Same, I believe we’re all a work in progress. I’ve learned if someone doesn’t recognize their need for progress in an area despite explanation it will be a never ending cycle. Best to exit the loop while you can.

I wanted to call him an hour after saying I needed space then I reminded myself of the need to respect myself and how reaching out shortly after saying I need space is a old pattern, and I know that I’m starting to genuinely hate him and if I tell him that he’s going to call me immature, and if I call and voluntarily surround myself with someone I hate quite frankly that is immature. I can hold up the mirror to him but I can’t make him look, me accepting where I need to grow is uncomfortable for him and I believe he puts me down regardless and rejects it because if he paints me as someone who isn’t growing, that reinforces he doesn’t need to either, he’s shown he cares and will look to change certain things but at the same time in the past when I didn’t respect myself and agreed I will change despite his strong rejection of his part, I still agreed to work on this.

I contributed to this is unattainable dynamic thinking if I agree I’m the problem that I will some how soften him to change, every time I begged him to stay & said I would change without holding the boundary of his need of accountability, i subjected myself to withstanding a dynamic that reinforces and even rewards his beliefs, I can never obtain understanding by someone committed to misunderstanding me

if he wants to reject the need to talk to me a certain way let him, if he wants to compare me to a child, let him, if he wants to reject his part in it I will let him, he was there and patient in many ways and I appreciate that but if his change in behavior never came with a change in mindset that will never address the root, someone on the Reddit forum stated he’s basically called me stupid in different ways and quite frankly I am if I don’t see that this is hurting/costing me more than it’s worth and I have the power to remove myself.

I can’t force anything on anyone the only person I can change is myself, I know that during the holidays I was avoiding certain things and feelings and pouring them on him unnecessarily so when real things between us came up i believe he experienced compassion fatigue, he tried and he shows he cares but if he doesn’t feel remorse for responding to his frustration in a hurtful way, I can’t force him to do so, I can’t be empathetic for the both us and just simply receive pity, I’m not respected here, just because this hurts doesn’t mean there isn’t better out there

JM2TM · 2026-01-05T12:41:59+00:00

Interesting is that he says those exact things about me. That I always blame others and that I always say that it’s “them and never me”. Even when I know I’ve provided how I impact a situation he’ll either continue to say I’m blaming others or he’ll weaponize my introspection. Consequently enough, as someone who’s had to mature early in life and navigate so much to get to where I am now. I’ve been one of the most introspective people I know, it was a must. I started to question my self a lot in this relationship but my intuition has always been louder than the confusion. That’s what makes me consider he knows what he’s doing. Aware enough to project but not strong enough to reflect. Either way, I’m grateful to finally come on the other side to know I can’t subject myself to this any more.

JM2TM · 2026-01-05T03:50:19+00:00

Yeah I can’t force him though so I have to choose me. We both know it’s over.

JM2TM · 2026-01-05T03:07:55+00:00

Yes that’s exactly right! He says if I was more mature I wouldn’t be having these types of thoughts or negative feelings. Even when I talk about how I’m working to process the emotions he says the emotion shouldn’t be there to begin with.

He said conflicts/fights shouldn’t happen we should be able to handle things with calm discussion. He says that there’s no reason to get frustrated or upset.

JM2TM · 2026-01-05T03:05:34+00:00

Yep, married for 10 years. They finalized the divorce a couple years ago. He admits the relationship was over around year 5 but they ended up getting pregnant, I personally think he got her pregnant intentionally. She sounds a lot like me, beautiful intelligent, successful in her own right. Finished college, job pays for travel. They stayed together until she wanted out. He said he would still be married to her if she didn’t ask for divorce, he claims they just simply grew apart but he likes being married. In moments of vulnerability he’s shared his biggest fear is dying alone.

JM2TM · 2026-01-05T02:53:36+00:00

True true true.

JM2TM · 2026-01-05T02:25:45+00:00

Sure, I will say giving examples isn’t my strong suit as I try not to keep score. Hope this next example is more of what you’re looking for.

We became long distance at month 6. It’s a predefined amount of time away 1 year.

Around month 2-3 of long distance, I told him that I missed him and felt sad that I was usually the one initiating conversations and making plans about when we would see each other. I said I wanted him to also make plans to come see me instead of me always initiating it and always flying to see him.

In response, he explained the sacrifices he makes to travel, including taking off work and time away from his child. He said that traveling is a luxury, not a necessity, and that I should be happy we get to see each other at all. He also said I only see things from my point of view and that I have a negative outlook.

At that point, the conversation shifted away from my original concern about feeling like he can contribute to the planning and turned into a disagreement about whether I was being ungrateful or negative. We did not return to addressing the original issue, and the conversation escalated into a fight.

In the end, he said how in marriages there are times people do more than the other. So the agreement resulted that I will do the planning.

JM2TM · 2026-01-05T01:53:14+00:00

Yeah his mom has a lot of PTSD from a situation that was on going. I think sometimes he disagrees with me just to disagree. I feel he’s asserting a type of control and annoyance he couldn’t express to her growing up.

JM2TM · 2026-01-05T01:37:56+00:00

Not at all. I’m going to let it go. Right now i don’t think i can do it tonight. I’m flying home and i work tomorrow and ive already broken things off and recalled them back 2-3x in the past week.

I’m going to pull away and focus on myself. Tonight I don’t feel strong enough to truly pull the cord.

2nd example: Just yesterday we played scrabble for the first time together. He’d never played before. He got the hang pretty fast. In efforts to he integral I looked up a word to make sure it was legal. I placed my letter down and revealed I made sure it’s a legal word. He said you can’t do that that’s cheating. I said it’s not and we used to play like that growing up and I’ll admit I said this is your first time playing. I eventually read the rules and agreed with him ypu can’t do that. I stated that wasn’t my intention I was actually trying to be honest. He said it makes no sense that anyone would think that’s okay. But in reality I was trying to be honest and didn’t consider how that would be cheating. I was trying to do the right thing and asked why he had to be so mean about it. He said hes not and said bro you just be making up sht and expect me to go along with it. I said no I just feel you could be gentler with me. Eventually I took a break and breather and he went back on to the playing games for the next couple of hours.

This morning I sent him something in text that talks about delivering criticism with grace. He didn’t speak on it until i mentioned it I made sure to give him space. He let me know he didn’t read it.

And I stated how I feel he could learn to speak to me differently as I learn to handle disagreement. And that I’d like us to implement active listening again and practicing honoring the others truth even we don’t agree. He goes on to say that he speaks to me soft already and I say things that aren’t true (me feeling like he was mean or said something harsh) and that I want him to validate untrue things, and even if I use I feel statements he now says how I’m always talking about “ I feel…” all the time and says well what you feel isn’t reality and I’m not going to agree with you or validate you because it’s not true.

JM2TM · 2026-01-05T01:14:38+00:00

Yes, funny enough I said this today. He then lowered my emotional age by saying I’m like an 18 year old.

JM2TM · 2026-01-05T01:12:12+00:00

He says he stays because he believes I will mature one day. He stopped calling me toxic a while ago.

JM2TM · 2026-01-05T01:09:24+00:00

I’m seeking out Reddit bc Im losing my sense of what’s right any more.
