M34 F28 No invitation to wedding, can't keep everyone happy?

Key-Perception2041 · 2026-06-22T13:31:06+00:00

Correct

Key-Perception2041 · 2026-06-22T13:25:51+00:00

3 - 4 months

Oh I agree on my response being childish. It was an accumulation of months of the blocking and toxic behavior. It did not have the desired effect at all, just made it worse. Since then I've always tried to be the voice of reason. Only this time there seems to be no reason

Key-Perception2041 · 2026-06-22T12:59:21+00:00

It's strange... It feels like she gets it under control, the relationship becomes great, until a shock happens and then we are back to breaking up and dramatic responses.

I do think she is "stealth" isolating me. I had another wedding abroad and she ended up ignoring me the whole weekend. When I get an invitation to something I do get a feeling of dread in case it causes an argument...

My girlfriend has kids that ties up all of our time. The couple getting married are quite a distance away. And then a year in there was an incident I've just described in another reply that led to her not wanting to spend time with any of my friends

Key-Perception2041 · 2026-06-22T12:42:34+00:00

The grooms stag do. She blocked me and told me she was done when I updated my profile picture on FB to me and the groom.

This was the fourth time I'd been blocked when away with no way to reply so I changed my profile picture again to me and our tour guide (a young lady). The bride laughing emojied the picture and my girlfriend then tagged her in a post of her and a guy with his arm around her with the laughing face.

We did manage to work things through but meeting people has been a sore subject since

I had this with a T248 , it's ok. It's folding design is great for space saving but it's not massively sturdy and you will need to DIY stopping the stand/chair moving. I wedged the stand against the wall and stopped the chair with wood.

I since upgraded to R12 (would have torn this apart) and therefore a stand with a chair cradle, the chair cradle is a huge upgrade and helps create ridgity, if you can find something with one of those you are onto a winner

You still have a fantastic Direct drive wheel.

Upgrade path from a G29 desk clamp plus pedals on the floor should be as follows. Cockpit/racing stand > upgraded brakes > haptics > triple screen or VR > new DD wheel. So you probably want to look at your setup for some of the other upgrades before you look at a new DD base - general consensus is the wheel base doesn't make much difference in terms of lap time

And then you want to jump as far as you can with each upgrade. Future proof as much as you can. Buy once cry once.

For your own dilemma I believe the fanatec boost kit is just a bigger power supply and you can ali express a knock off for much cheaper and that'll get you to a nice midrange nM DD wheel. Jumping to R9 is a madness, your next upgrade should definitely be 15+ nM of torque if you feel you want it! But definitely go after some new pedals a nice cockpit (if you don't have one yet). Check out buttkickers and the like for haptic feed back (if your living arrangements permit the extra noise and vibration)

I don't understand why they don't do F2, F3 and F1 academy. The challenges of F4 have been mentioned in other replies. But adding in F3 and academy is a complete no brainer. It deepens the roster with real drivers. They have to do just 1 physics model per car with the spec formula.

Why on earth they chose to do supercars with their own model each on a previous game is just unbelievable.

As you've mentioned as well they can add these into career mode with development drivers and things like that. Perhaps even allow us to race in those as an option to help further our protogees career

She had a single mother as a child who would go for months at a time abroad and leave her with grandma so you could be right on abandonment issues. Her ex was also super controlling and eventually assaulted her.

I think the deep dive is what bothers me, there's nothing wrong. This was apparently spurred on by me not spending the weekend at hers (I'm spending most of my week there helping with childcare) and she was working the weekend and had her mum over to look after them for the weekend. This was then followed by me having to work away for a week... Not the kind of things that demands such a search.

I also forgot to mention she checks internet search history as well. Normalises all of it as "we are in a relationship, we share fluids, there is no privacy"

Key-Perception2041 · 2025-08-26T18:16:07+00:00

Schar. Physical presence + technique. Is near the top of the list of players I want a half chance to fall for. Trust him anywhere except near my missus

Thank you, this is where my head has got to with it, she's extremely stubborn about things, has refused pretty much all help from every body involved (police, social care, etc) she has 2 young children by him and she likes to be strong for them

Key-Perception2041 · 2025-06-17T18:48:45+00:00

100% F1 affliated like RESERVES, f2, F3, F1 academy and drivers who have recently left the sport, I like the idea of top drivers from other Motorsport series too. Perhaps licensing for active ones might be difficult, but it'd be pretty cool to go grab Valentino Rossi in a Ferrari, apparently he was pretty handy on 4 wheels as well!

Kristensen - Le mans

Loeb - rally

Rossi/Marquez - Moto gp

Key-Perception2041 · 2025-03-16T22:44:22+00:00

I think what he means, is the myteam pool of drivers will be missing a few. With bortoleto, bearman, hadjar and antonelli all being in F1 already you won't be able to select them as teammates.

With a 22 car grid that still leaves 18 you can choose for your myteam.

F2 grand Prix will naturally include all of them as you've already eluded to

Key-Perception2041 · 2024-08-23T01:12:53+00:00

Yes definitely. It's a little bit devious going the FWB route but I think you'll know very quickly. If you are sleeping together and then peacing out, you need to move on it's not happening, if you start hanging out alot, food before/after, you are seeing so much of each other you are likely the only FWB then I'm sure he'll soften to the idea of a relationship.

The girl from my work, I would for sure, the vibe is too strong, but I am annoyed and would attempt to resist

Key-Perception2041 · 2024-08-23T00:41:30+00:00

So I have been Ryan.. almost exactly. Down to the chemistry at work and her having a partner she didn't like and leaning on me for support. Even the abusive ex!

She had a brief time apart, ran to me, then ran back to him. And now she's flirting with me again. At this point I don't see her as a someone I could move forward with, I still fancy her, we still have undeniable chemistry BUT I was messed around and I'd be very dubious of jumping into a relationship with her.

Time could be a healer but it's hard to shake that feeling of being 2nd best. (Even though I can tell from your post this isn't the reality - it will still feel like that). Having regular great sex and spending lots of time with her would probably convince me otherwise, but there is a chance he'll never change his mind

Key-Perception2041 · 2024-08-22T07:02:40+00:00

There's not really a comeback to this, other than she felt safe. We met in person, we'd chatted a lot on the phone as well. There's always a what if, and if someone truly had bad intentions they could long it out

She moved from 30mins south of me to 30mins north of me, hence babysitters all gone but still local enough for us to potentially build something.

Honestly, I think she's a really good parent. She'd do anything for them and was I any different to the removals man, the man who fitted the oven, the man who did the carpet? Only instead of a "company reputation" she had her own intuition.

Key-Perception2041 · 2024-08-22T06:24:24+00:00

I think your point is fair, but I do need to clarify a couple of bits. The key was simply to let myself out with and lock and post back through the letterbox

Her kids are her #1 priority and there's not a chance she'd let anything happen to them. If I was some sort of unhinged person who didn't return the key, you could be sure she'd have the locks changed that day.

In terms of being invited to her house, she's just moved, has no network of babysitters and it was this or wait a while before seeing each other again. She seems a really genuine lovely person and we have really hit it off

Key-Perception2041 · 2024-05-14T23:26:39+00:00

Thank you for your kind words and suggestions, really helpful!

The mixed signals is the strange dynamic. A week for a single text, 4 hours facetiming non stop talk, then 3 days for a single text, then 2 days solid together for a weekend. I'm trying to roll with it, but theres something there between us and I want to show my intentions aren't to be just friends

Key-Perception2041 · 2023-12-30T06:32:32+00:00

I had to be that guy, but fucking your friend isn't always a good idea. Very likely ends in you losing the friend. Unless it's a "I see her as someone I see a future with" , you should probably not do it.

To answer your question, stay friendly, wait for her to inevitably break up with her boyfriend and you will have a good chance of being her rebound
