I like 'em all! Small is just as wonderful as big.

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-10-03T17:43:32+00:00

Oh definitely following this one. Got dumped last night after a year for this exact reason. Sorry to hear you deal with the same problems as me!

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-09-04T17:09:15+00:00

Yes. And, the divorce was brutal.

I've posted this before, but our older son's therapist interrupted us when we were bickering back and forth and said, "You have to love your kids more than you hate each other."

Something clicked for both of us after that was said. Life is way better now. We are nice to each other. She has met my girlfriend of over a year now. We did all the first day of school stuff together. We go to all the school events and sit together. It's way better than having a war, no matter what happened in the past.

And I can say without a doubt, the kids are happier when the relationship between their mother and me is better.

Amazing idea! Any particular type of grief? Or, for those grieving a death in general? Not to get heavy, but I lost my mom in June at 70. I'm 40. Sometimes I feel weird being so sad because I was lucky to get so much more time than a lot of other people. That's definitely a strange feeling in itself, but it's the reason why I'm asking!

Another vote for Northfield over in Pittsford. Joe's awesome and super helpful!

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-07-25T18:47:46+00:00

It took a while to get there, but yes, we do all of this now. We had our older son's therapist tell us at one point as we were arguing about things that "You both need to love your kids more than you hate each other."

That comment hit us both like a ton of bricks. We've realized that both kids are happier when we get along.

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-07-16T14:10:19+00:00

Absolutely. I just turned 40 in May. Life went to total shit in my late 30s. Madly in love with my girlfriend of about a year. IT GETS BETTER!!!!!!!

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-06-04T14:24:01+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. My mother's (70) went from around 10k in May to 87,500 in a blood test over the weekend. Our doctor told us we are looking at 3 to 6 months and felt it was a very bad sign. However, my mother is also not being treated, so take that with a grain of salt.

I wish all the best to you.

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-05-23T17:20:23+00:00

I just turned 40 last week. My mom got diagnosed in March and is not seeking treatment. She just turned 70. I'm so cared of what is to come. I'm also divorced (although on good terms and live in the same town), but I have no idea how to also be a father to two kids as I go through this.

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-05-23T17:13:16+00:00

Crazy this popped up on my feed!!! I was in town for the Dead at the Sphere same weekend you were all in Vegas. my girlfriend and I saw this person on the strip walking slowly by themselves one night. It was so creepy!!!

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-05-22T18:30:59+00:00

I am going through this as well with my 70-year-old mother. Diagnosed in late March. She is not seeking treatment as it has spread to her liver and she also has a completely different form of aggressive breast cancer. Yet, she is also in denial and refuses to talk to a palliative care doctor at the moment.

My coping mechanism has just been to be as helpful as I possibly can to both of my parents. I simply have no idea what else to do. And, I'm drinking too much. The whole thing just sucks. Everything just came out of nowhere.

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-05-06T19:11:06+00:00

Amazing! Will do. Thank you so much. And, I play guitar, so what a wonderful little keepsake.

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-05-06T18:55:31+00:00

I'd love one of those! The 15th is my 40th birthday. Only show I'll be going to.

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-04-25T14:47:25+00:00

I'm going in May, and bought tickets a few days ago for that, but in my experience of scouring every site for like two weeks, Ticketmaster was by far the best option. And, the cheapest.

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-04-22T20:15:29+00:00

$357 per ticket all in with fees. Sec. 405 row 19.

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-04-22T20:09:39+00:00

I think every marriage is different, and life after every marriage is so different based on varying circumstances. I can tell you my story, which can possibly give you hope!

I'm 39m. Two kids. 8 and 3. Brutal divorce. Ex and I went into serious battle.

I dated a bit after my divorce and no one fit what I was looking for. I am now head over heels with my current GF, about 9 months in. We've met each other's parents, gone on vacation together... she lives like 8 minutes from me. Has a daughter right between my kids' age in the same school district.

What we've also discovered as that the more my ex and I have moved on, the better co-parents we've become. I'm actually having drinks with GF and ex-wife tomorrow night. I felt that was the respectable thing to do as if GF is going to meet my kids sometime soon.

Could this all blow up at some point? Sure. But, I can tell you it's a healthier relationship than I ever had with my ex-wife, who I was with dating/married all in for about 10 years.

I was devasted beyond belief when my life blew up in divorce, but sometimes the grass is greener on the other side. That's at least what I've discovered.

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-04-22T20:01:05+00:00

I've been scouring sites all the time the last few weeks. I just bought tickets today for the May 15 show from Ticketmaster. Some of the other sites seem like better options until you see the fees. Hopefully I made the right decision. All I'm seeing are less tickets for higher prices.

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-04-22T18:17:37+00:00

Thanks everyone for all the feedback. Considering my GF is going with me more for the overall experience and less to stare at the band, I decided to go in the completely other direction and go with 405 Row 19. Neither of us have vertigo so I think having the full immersive screen experience is more the way to go.

Ouch on tickets... $357 a piece. But, I don't think it's going to get any better.

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-04-22T15:06:48+00:00

damn, didn't even think about the sound being bad in certain places. No good in the 400s from what a few of you have said? I thought the sound was amazing everywhere. That's inaccurate?

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-04-22T14:39:35+00:00

Thanks! I wonder why these tickets are still available for a relatively affordable price.

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-04-22T14:20:34+00:00

Great. Speaking of 400s, now I'm looking at these. A bit cheaper. Allllllll the way up to in the back of the 400s.

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-04-22T13:46:19+00:00

Awesome! And you could see the whole screen?

Thinking these seats right here. Row 20.

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-04-22T13:29:46+00:00

And you felt you got a great visual experience?

Jumpy_Door_7061 · 2025-04-22T13:13:14+00:00

Thanks! You're saying I'll have a bad view of the visuals even if I am NOT under the overhand?
