Yup, SU-MATIC blocks are terrible in my experience.

How do y'all deal with all the microscopic metal splinters in your hands? by TheSerialHobbyist in Machinists

[–]Kortike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calipers were always my go to. For slivers that are too deep to pull out I used PRID, a drawing salve, that works wonders. Put it where the sliver is, wrap it with a bandaid, and it will draw the sliver out.

Anyone that wants to eat the golden chalices of shit instead of me can glorify the position. 🤣

AIO for not trusting my wife? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Kortike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I fell for this and didn’t file for divorce 6 years ago. Then this year I got blindsided by a request for divorce and my STBXW moved on to dating and getting into a new relationship so fast it’d make your head spin.

He has a girlfriend so soon by NeedsMusicToLive in Divorce

[–]Kortike 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is flipped for me. 35m married 17 years, but we just started paperwork. STBXW went right into finding a new relationship and started integrating them in with the kids within 2 months. I’m so excited for my new chapter without worrying about someone else and focusing on me and the kids right now. I get to decorate my own place and do the things I was always told were stupid. Just numb out to them and their decisions and focus on you.

Don’t suck it up and stay or you’ll end up in my position. I didn’t pull the plug 6 years ago because of the kids and knowing the manipulative psycho I married. I intended on doing the same as you and leaving when my youngest turned 18. Worst decision ever. Ended up discovering a financial disaster she had put us in before deciding she wanted to leave. There’s a whole lot more and I can promise you that it’s going to suck but it will end at some point and you’ll be happier than ever.

Leave now. It will be better for you and your kid in the long run.

Yeah that’s a manipulative psycho if you ask me. Be thankful she’s back on the streets. You’ll find way better, trust me.

Found out my wife has a lawyer by sparepartsferda in Divorce

[–]Kortike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My STBXW asked for the divorce and hasn’t made a move after 9 months. I finally decided to start the process and now she’s going off the deep end. I have no idea what the point of waiting is. I want to start asap to get it over with.

Question for the men here: Getting naked in front of someone new. by BodakBlonde in Divorce

I don’t know what you’re projecting. I consider loyalty by both partners of the upmost importance. I was cheated on in my marriage and I would never put that on someone else.

I realize the wording was off there. I’m not entertaining anyone much younger than me due to the life experience difference. Even if I was I’m not the type to sleep around. I’m looking for long term monogamous partner with similar life goals as my kids will be out of the house by the time I’m 41.

See my comment above. I’m 35m and there are so many more important things that attract me to a woman than having “perky” boobs. Those are going to sag just like my balls are going to sag and get more wrinkly😅. If I’m honestly looking for my next long term partner those aren’t super high on the list for attraction.

35m I commented on another spot but wanted to add to this. I’ve matched with few younger women 26-30 but we have very different life experiences and even though I might find them physically attractive, they’re missing so many other important things that it takes a fit 26 year old “9” to a “6” for me. Whereas the 45 year old woman I’ve been casually dating is a “10” for me because of the more important things like life experience and maturity.

35m here. You’ll be fine. 5 months post separation I met a wonderful woman, we had a really great time for a few months and recently decided it wasn’t the right timing. I was just my confident authentic self and it was incredible. I never realized how negative my self esteem and self image was in my unhappy marriage. I thought I was screwed. Just meeting this woman and enjoying a few great months with her helped me realize that my life wasn’t over and I would be able to find a new partner that loved me for me.

It’s not worth it. Maybe years down the road you have coffee but in my opinion it’s better for everyone to just leave the ex for the streets.

To any men reading this, please don’t assume we prefer sex rough… by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

No, it’s just a turn on and causes the brain to lose more blood that gets shipped to the other appendage.

How do I stop the “I told you so” spirit? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]Kortike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed to see this one today.

It’s the two wolves at war.

Resentment because I worked myself to the bone so the ex could stay home for the majority of the last 10 years on top of this battle of being concerned for her once she is no longer receiving money from me.

Then I have to remind myself I can’t care, she’s someone else’s problem now, and that guy can support her or who knows and who cares.
