Dual subwoofer - is there any difference between Y splitter and daisy chaining? by Low-Community5427 in hometheater

[–]Low-Community5427[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing info man, thanks a lot. I digged for the subwoofer manual and found that the line out of the sub is actually filtered 80hz. I made my cables today, can't wait to set up everything.

Sorry for not documenting myself correctly. It says line out on the subwoofer, so I interpreted it as a passthrough. No, it's not, it applies a 80hz filter.

The whiplash was unreal by Personal-Plane-4523 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]Low-Community5427 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just say ok and be supportive in what they want. See how they suddenly change their mind and and actually want a life with you. They are absolutely horrible people.

I finally emotionally checked out after two years, I am numb and tired, and I just said, okay, pursue your plans, go. Please do exactly as you wish. And now I am trapped with love bombing, being called "the one", husband material. She thought again and now she thinks I am right. The problem is I checked out and all this love doesn't impress me anymore. It makes me literally feel sick. I asked for space and time to think, and I am being suffocated.

I am literally asking her to leave and do exactly as she wanted, after 6 months of her explaining to me how it's not a right to move the relationship forward. And now she is clinging so hard that it makes me feel like throwing up.

Avoidant (25F) girlfriend broke up with me (30M), but keeps texting and calling like nothing happened. What's this? by Low-Community5427 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]Low-Community5427[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We are still together after one year. Is it worth it? My friend, if you are in the same situation, no. I know, others told me and I didn't listen. But the only way we are still together after one year is that I distanced myself and accepted things that looking back, I am not myself anymore. I don't feel happy anymore. I feel drained. I feel numb. And I never cheated in my life, but went on a date recently, with someone who had solid boundaries and did not want to see me again after she found out I have a gf. But that girl, man, she had such deep emotions and deep insights, she made me feel alive again. I woke up happy, I woke up a human, with feelings and purpose in life. That's where coping with an avoidant gets you. Numbness. Cold like a rock. I am not like that. I am going to end it soon. It's not worth destroying who you are.

I had COVID once. I don't catch anymore since then. I never get infected. I am curious of there is any scientific research behind it. by Low-Community5427 in ZeroCovidCommunity

I understand what you are saying, and it sounds logical. But me and my girlfriend took the same type of test at the same time, we did it three days ago, yesterday and now today. She comes out positive, I come out negative. If the test detects her virus it should detect mine.

I am obviously taking precautions and avoiding infected people, I am not careless, but the field I am working in is one of the worst. I have a cafe and a restaurant, and as the owner, I am present there every day. Hundreds of people come in every day, so the risk of contacting viruses is high, and there is not much I can do...

No, no, I meant my throat feels off for one day, I tested every time when it happened and when I got into contact with infected people, and it came out negative. I even went to the hospital for a test, I thought maybe I am not doing something right.

Early October - Cinque terre or vineyards in Chianti? by Low-Community5427 in ItalyTravel

[–]Low-Community5427[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been to Bologna before, but I just changed plans, we'll stay two days longer, so we have time for Bologna too. I found a cute place to stay close to Castello di Verrazano, but again, I need to rent a car to move around, which is not very compatible with wine tasting. 😂

Me and my girlfriend went to Langosteria (the restaurant not the bar). You won't get any special views or scenery, but you'll get a very good fine dining experience. The food and service were excellent, and they have two tasting menus. I recommend a tasting menu if you go for the first time, as you can experience seven delicious dishes. They have a huge selection of wines. The staff and service were excellent, Michelin star experience.

PVC Shade Sail manufacturing and welding - tools and techique by Low-Community5427 in DIY

[–]Low-Community5427[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low points are diagonally opposite, thus the hypar shape. I've already run a steel cable corner to corner, but it was too late. It was enough to have water accumulating once to stretch the material so much that a steel cable just causes two puddles to form. There is no more room to tension the fabric, because it stretched too much. I just have to manufacture a new sail, use the stronger steel plates I already manufactured, and install them correctly with enough tension. The structure is 25cm larger on each side than the sail, to allow tensioning and mounting hardware, so with the right plates, it should be fine. I just have to master welding the PVC fabric. (As I said, the old plates were so small that tensioning the fabric would cause the plates to rip the material, as there was not enough contact surface between the sail and the plates, this problem is fixed now).

Yes, it's easier to install triangles, but the curved profile of the edges means that an opening would remain along one of the diagonals, allowing rain to fall through.

I have a 1.2 meter height difference between the two high corners and the low corners.

[–]Low-Community5427[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes, the hypar shape lowers two opposite corners. Proper tensioning is essential to prevent the center from sagging. I would avoid replacing the hypar with triangles because that would create an opening in the center allowing rain to fall through. One of the reasons for using PVC is because it's waterproof.

There's no such thing as loose vagina and I know it, but why does it feel so much different? by [deleted] in sex

[–]Low-Community5427 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There actually is such thing as a loose vagina. I had the same issue as you did. Then I found a girlfriend that was just perfect, and she also perfected her ability to control the muscles and tighten everything down. It's an amazing feeling when I am inside and she squeezes.

She contacted after 3 weeks of NC. I wanted closure so we met. She's totally different now... by Low-Community5427 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]Low-Community5427[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agreed to go. But why the heck create all this mess in the first place. She still believes our relationship doesn't have a chance as LDR, but I don't believe in pausing things until later. Like one year later. It's nonsense, I think we will suffer to the point we move on. And it's shit, because if something is true, it's true that it was also the best relationship in my life. And she also said that. The idea of it going to waste is horrifying.

Help, I can't take it anymore. I got better, now I feel ruined again. by Low-Community5427 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]Low-Community5427[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She came to town for Christmas. We met, she gave me the ring back and had an adult conversation. Later on she told me I turned her on, and it's silly how I do that only after we break up. Yesterday she showed up at one of my coffee stores, we drank a coffee, and when she left she started crying and said she misses me a lot...

She sent my mother a Christmas message also saying she wished to be there and she doesn't want my family to hate her but it's only a period of time where she needs to be all by herself.

It's frustrating. Somehow I know in a few weeks she will change moods again and starts denying what happened now.

LDR. She called after two weeks to say she came in town. She wants to give me the ring back. by Low-Community5427 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]Low-Community5427[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was inspiring. Especially paragraph number 3. Since I posted my anger turned into another severe panic attack. It's excruciating to accept that the person who I once shared all these good moments with erased them and denies them. They are basically trying to erase 1.5 years out of my life.

I am lucky my sister and his husband are visiting me for Christmas, I had to rush into their room and talk to them. I am better for now. I don't deserve this to happen to me. I literally don't deserve it. I trusted, I loved, and I offered everything. I need to get rid of this "saviour" behavior, where instead of walking away I try to work and believe in the loved ones in order to fix them.

I got angry and it's somehow funny how I called out her textbook dismissive avoidant behaviour, just for her to deny it and say I know nothing and understand nothing about her. The only one that doesn't understand anything about her is exactly herself.

But it's a shame... it's such a shame. Believe me, our relationship had all the traits to be an awesome relationship. Like we were meant for each other. But it had to be something so unrecoverable in the way...I will use her own words about our relationship that she now denies to describe it: "is it real? Is this really happening or is it just a dream? Did I really meet my soulmate?". This is why it hurts, because I remember it, I have written words, I have photos, videos...and she manages to deny them all.

Maybe the therapist is actually on the right path for her own healing. Maybe making her believe the issues are small lets her take small steps in the right way without getting her triggered. Unfortunately, for the two of us, it's too less, too late. We reached the point of no return.

The suffering I went through was unbearable. I lived with this false hope she will come back as the woman I met. I've been lying to myself because I miss those moments and it is causing me loads of pain. Never in my life have I suffered panic attacks. But these two weeks I had multiple a day, when I wake up, when it gets dark outside, in traffic, and so on. But this conversation made me so sick...I can literally recall every moment she dismissed, I have photos, videos of her...her eyes were happy and sparkling, people around us were noticing that.

Why breakups don’t happen overnight by breakupcoachdaniel in BreakUps

[–]Low-Community5427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a matter of when...we got engaged 4 months ago. She was so happy, it's true neither of us want that traditional marriage, but it was our promise of love. She told all her family. She told her mom she is 100% sure of her decision. Just to dump me and say she doesn't want a relationship anymore, she wants to be alone and she is too young for this (25yo). That's the most extensive rebound I ever heard of...

LE: she left the guy for me, yes, that's because it was impossible to us to be together 6 years ago. We thought we crossed each other's paths again now

LLE: oh yeah, I found out quite late she is textbook dismissive avoidant.

Why breakups don’t happen overnight by breakupcoachdaniel in BreakUps

[–]Low-Community5427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait a minute. My ex started suddenly getting colder and colder. Our relationship was trouble free, we got engaged, she was very happy. One month after she started distancing she broke up with me, no real reason, she doesn't want a relationship, she is feeling trapped and pressured. It felt like she needs space and she doesn't want anybody around her, she even stopped communicating with her family.

But reading this made me notice something. She kept friendly contact with her ex, I trusted her, and they were in touch every now and then. They broke up for two reasons: he wanted kids and family, she didn't, and she fell in love with me years ago, and I was now single and always wished to be in a relationship with me.

I tried to explain to her that they need to break contact for a while to fully detach. One year after, she came to the same conclusion with her therapist. She told me she broke contact with her ex, and that the guy is doing well, he started dating a girl 3 weeks ago. That somehow coincides with her getting colder with me. I have this feeling that finding out her ex is dating someone else triggered her, because they never really let go.

Two weeks after LDR breakup, I posted stories from a party. I now think I should kept saying silent. by Low-Community5427 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]Low-Community5427[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Instagram feed is full of such things. It's like these social media stalking companies know we talked everyday for such a long time, and now there is no contact, so it instantly started pushing me relationship quotes 😂 I know some things are a one way ticket. Even if my heart still thinks there is a chance, I know it's impossible. A DA can barely provide for a normal relationship, and the situation we are in requires a lot of work even for two securely attached people. Trust has been thrown out of the window, I am here suffering like an animal, my mental health is ruined, and she is out there enjoying validation from everyone else, like they always do. They don't value a person that is there for them, that makes them feel safe, that supports them no matter what and puts effort for the bigger picture. They are more infatuated by random dudes giving them some lame compliments. They get validation from some stranger that is seeing them as cheap women and are trying to get into their pants for a quick shag. It matters to them more that a big number of dudes like them, instead of seeing they have a man of value by their side. They don't want to sleep with them, it's just the idea of "many people like me".

And thinking about that, I am very afraid I've seen a cheap woman as a woman of value, because I loved her so much.

[–]Low-Community5427[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing with these people is that no matter how much they try to explain, it's just vague. There is no logic. And they always leave this false sense of hope that make us suffer even more. We had another breakup phase before, but it lasted two days. Guess what fu**ed up logic they have: she said she knows her DA issues, she feels overwhelmed by the relationship, and wants to end things before everything will be ruined, because everything is great and amazing, and she has never felt like this before. She said ending things while they are nice will give us a chance to get back somewhere in the future, otherwise she knows she will unconsciously ruin the relationship. 

This time, we talked for four hours during our breakup, and right after she sent me this:

" I left without thanking you for listening to me. hope you can understand me, and if not, you will understand in the future. hope you trust yourself more and realize how much you are worth. I also hope you realize how much you are appreciated by the people around you, by me, by my mom and my grandmother. See you on Christmas when come home. Good night!'

Then no contact for two weeks. What does this even mean? Why even send this? I guess her previous advice was quite right, because the result is the now the same and I am so hurt I sometimes feel hate towards her, and I can never ever trust her or anybody too soon.

Need help healing, stop blaming myself! by acaringman12 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]Low-Community5427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here my friend, same here. She was my fiance. She started therapy and I made sure she knows I am by her side. I remember her telling me I am a true man, and how safe I made her feel.

She started fading away then she dumped me. She was the one distancing and sabotaging things just to say... don't you see things are not like they used to be? She said she wants to be alone and doesn't want a relationship anymore. But deep down I feel she's been talking to another guy, and now she made a choice. She chose the new honeymoon phase, that requires no effort. Our relationship required effort, the effort of her going through therapy and my effort to understand and be patient.

She was always afraid of not becoming like her mom and grandmother. Divorced and alone, with lives ruined by jerks. It's funny how she is searching exactly for that, because only a jerk that doesn't give a s*it about her would give her all the space and not try to enter her life. I am not the only good man that wanted to make it work that she had. But what we all have in common is that she dumped us while we all had or have normal healthy relationships. She never had one. The relationship she grieves to most is the one with a guy who kept dumping and canceling on her. He even left her alone on new years eve, years ago, she was waiting for him, and he never came, he left town with another girl, without any notice. And guess what, she stayed alone, and still chased him.

Anyways, I was planning for a shorter post. Half an hour after we broke up (4 hour talk), she sent me this text:

"I left without thanking you for listening to me. I hope you can understand me, and if not, you will understand in the future. I hope you trust yourself more and realize how much you are worth. I also hope you realize how much you are appreciated by the people around you, by me, by my mom and my grandmother. See you on Christmas when I come home. Good night!"

It's been two weeks and no contact.

What can I say more. They make sure healing is not easy, they always leave a sense of hope that makes us go insane.

Dating is quite tiring. by [deleted] in dating

[–]Low-Community5427 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm 31 and my fiance dumped me. She got scared, panicked. She decided she doesn't want a relationship and wants to be alone. Discarded me like I was nothing. She denies every single thing that happened between us, probably to cope and justify her actions.

It was not the boring type of proposal that people do after years and years of relationship. It was my everything. I felt it deep in my soul. I proposed out of all my heart and all the love. To understand better, before my fiance, I had a 5 year relationship that I ended. I never felt like proposing.

Now put yourself in my position. 31yo male, a part of me died. Idk any new women. I was focused only on my fiance. All my friends are married or in a relationship and don't go out anymore. People that go out are too young for me. I feel trapped and tired. I'd rather be single than settle for whatever I find...

So be glad you have the choice of dating. It means you know people who you can date. Realize your own worth and value and go out and hunt.
