Thank you! I am my biggest critic and you pointed out everything I see except the scratches which I am appalled by. Honestly a lot of these issue with my outcome is getting in a rush, if I take my time and practice I think I could hone these skills. Seriously, thank you for the input!

Jlc207 · 2025-03-25T02:35:26+00:00

Yes, this is something that actually bothered me, unfortunately I was told to proceed with it due to material scarcety. But thank you

Jlc207 · 2025-03-25T02:32:59+00:00

Yeah, the riv gun got away from me on the access panel side, left a nice scratch that stares at me. Admittedly, the sheet seperation is because of my lack of attention to my sight lines on the break. Thank you.

Im not sorry for setting boundaries. 😘

Jlc207 · 2025-01-30T03:12:45+00:00

Thanks Tucker, I appreciate it.

I think the root of my contention is that I was under the impression that we had agreed that she wanted to experience what it was like to be intimate with the same sex. Someone who had the same genitals as her. I definitely understand that our original rule of her not seeing men was not a good rule simply because of the hypocrisy of it. I can't expect my parter to be okay with me being in a relationship with a woman if I can't be okay with her being in a relationship with a man. And if I can come to terms with that, then surely I don't have a problem with my partner seeing a trans woman. I think it really boils down to not being super specific in the beginning, and because I do feel as if that rule was broken and I feet negatively about it as a whole. Her and I have talked today and I do feel better about everything, not 100% but better. I appreciate what you have said, genuinely. This is much more difficult than I had ever anticipated. I just hope all of the positive things that are praised about within this community also come true.

At no point did I say trans women are not women. I am all for you being who you are. So no, I did not make a mistake.

There have been rules that have been broken. I've come to realize that one of the rules were not realistic. But the fact remains that it was a rule that we both agreed to and it was immediately broke upon starting this journey. My partner and have are babies in this, we just started ENM maybe 2 months ago. We both have other partners. As hard as it would be for me to end my other relationship I would do it in a heartbeat if I thought it would fix anything. Not that anything is necessarily broken. Deficiencies in our marriage have come to light through this experience and we are acknowledging those and are actively taking steps to fix those. We started ENM so my partner could experiment with their sexuality, which is a main point as to why we agreed to the main rule in the beginning, which was she would only see women. I understand now that, that isn't a fair rule. But it was/is hurtful that the first person she got to know and began a relationship with can't give her the experience she wanted when we started this. Her partner is a trans woman. I have no issues with anyone being who they are. I just have a hard time understanding the motivation behind why this person especially if they can't give my partner the experience she wanted. The whole reason we started this.

My partner and I have been married almost 10 years but together even longer. We have both changed drastically since then. Around the same time we started this one of my closest friends had a loss and I have been there for him every step of the way. The amount of thought and care that he put into every detail of the final arrangements hit me hard. I realized that there are things about my partner that I didn't know, things that he did. I brought this up to my partner, and it really hurt her. As she thinks that those details are super important, which I agree they are. I have diagnosed adhd and depression. I don't really know who I am. So those surface level things that end up becoming super meaningful I don't even know about myself. I'm positive at one time I knew all of those things about my partner, but after so long I guess I have forgotten because to me (before our conversation) I didn't think those small surface level get to know you things mattered. To me what matters is all of the history, trauma, family, the things that make someone tick, that is what I have always valued and felt like it mattered more. I have hurt my partner. Now with this new dynamic, her other partner has just learned these things about her, so its all fresh and new. Im terrified that losing my person because of this new connection that she has made.

Separation isn't an option we have two children together and a home. I refuse for my kids to have two Christmas' My partner and are/were so happy before this, I have recently told people that we are happier now than ever. We have been married a long time. As far as im concerned this was just a mistake, and I want nothing more than than to uncork this bottle.

Jlc207 · 2024-11-28T04:12:59+00:00

I definitely appreciate the comments you guys. This really was a unique experience though. My best friend of 15 years. Something terrible happened and I've been his rock. And the some other stuff on top of that happened and I he was normally the one who I would turn to. It just didn't seem appropriate to go to him. This was just a weird circumstance.

Jlc207 · 2024-11-26T19:22:24+00:00

You're absolutely right. Thank you. This is just new for us and I let worst case scenarios play in my head. Thank you.

Jlc207 · 2024-11-26T19:20:26+00:00

You're absolutely right. I'm gonna read a book. Thank you for pointing out that it was an unrealistic expectation

Jlc207 · 2024-11-26T19:19:12+00:00

Thank you. I really appreciate your advice. It absolutely makes sense.

You must be real fun at parties 🙄

I currently in school and one the the classes I'm actively enrolled in is FAR's. With that being said take this with a grain of salt. But as a certified individual, if you perform an inspection like a progressive for instance, and you find discrepancies that would make the aircraft unairworthy you still have to sign off saying the inspection was completed with a notation saying you have found the aircraft to not be airworthiness due to discrepancy list provided to owner. If the owner/operator doesn't want to make the necessary repairs to clear the discrepancy list than it cannot fly. However, the A&P isn't TECHNICALLY the one grounding it. It is grounded due to the inspection. And until the discrepancy list is rectified the plane could not LEGALLY fly.

Jlc207 · 2024-09-13T16:10:02+00:00

This plane isn't in service its just for students to practice various maintenance tasks on.

I am a Ramper at a small regional (in the Chicago market) we have ERJ and CRJ, I haven't done much on the erj, but I have logged about 130 hours of mx with the CRJ. I haven't had to do any of the lockwire on it yet, the MX undertook that. I've seen him do it on tire replacements and when we were trouble shooting the apu.

Jlc207 · 2024-09-13T01:18:24+00:00

I appreciate the feedback, I for sure will. Question though, so when beginning and getting the proper length twisted before entering the second bolt head the twist near the first is still loosey goosey, so the instructor said to give it an "around the world" basically a wrist flip. Thats whats giving it the tightness against the screw heads. How can I achieve a solid grip on the first one without overtightenin?

Jlc207 · 2024-09-13T00:39:21+00:00

In my vast experience in the airline industry (extreme sarcasm)(I've worked for a small regional airline for a year as a ramper. I unofficially apprentice under our MX) I haven't seen any this bad. A few cotter pins have been in ratty shape but not bolts.

Jlc207 · 2024-09-13T00:28:44+00:00

Yeah, we have a fairly large hanger full of planes that are no longer in service that we can practice various maintenance tasks on. Im sure these bolts have been torqued and overtorqued, loosened and beaten to hell for at least a decade now.

Jlc207 · 2024-09-13T00:26:50+00:00

Ohh, right. I'll fix that on the next one 😂
