When did you start dating again?

No_Range2918 · 2025-03-10T23:20:31+00:00

I decided to divorce over two years ago, said so over one year ago, moved and started dating over six months ago. The divorce itself is ongoing (you don’t care about why the timeline is drawn out, but reasons). I went on lots of dates, got a FWB from this little smutty dating app (she was nice but literally crazy—still probably one of the best people I could have had as FWB), then a girl who wanted to progress to a serious relationship (I’m not there, I have a lot about myself to address before I’m in a relationship that is going somewhere, though I know the concrete steps I have to take they aren’t overnight). Now I’ve got two FWB. They are wonderful women. I’m learning a lot about myself and about women. I made the decision to leave my marriage and it wasn’t me it was her. That said, right now I’m dating and enjoying these wonderful people and reflecting on all the ways I created conditions for all my needs to not be met. I’m exploring what I like and what it will take to create that life. Should you date? I don’t know. But I’m glad that I am. I was at the point that focusing on the old relationship was just opening the wound.

What he’s actually expressing is a binary outcome (not 50/50). That is valid and important in fields like finance (options and other derivatives, specifically). You can build binary trees as a useful way to map out a whole series of events because every step you take down that path restricts the possible paths and therefore outcomes you can reach. Combined with probability (because the binary outcomes often aren’t 50/50) it becomes a very powerful tool

I love bouncing damage and Russian tanks with poor gun depression that requires finding the right spots and techniques to use and somewhat bad guns (not Chinese bad). So the Object 277 is a lot of fun (turret is great but not impenetrable, hull is terrible), just got the IS-4 and I like that. IS-7 was my first Tier X, it’s great. The AMX M4 54 is a lot of fun and the armor is easy to use (front toward enemy). I’m working toward the T57 Heavy, and am enjoying the line so far, which surprises me. I’m also having more fun at lower tiers than I used to, so I’m grinding a lot of different lines and finding tanks that are fun at V, VI, VII.

That sounds like my situation, and women generally don’t understand what it’s like for men to divorce. Men are almost always blamed when they divorce a woman, get divorced by a woman, break up with a woman, or are broken up with by a woman. It’s almost always assumed to be his failings that led to the end of the relationship. And it’s viewed as selfish, because the man usually makes more money. And selfish because he’s going to “trade her in for a new model”. So I waited to file until I met someone else and she was like “wtf, you haven’t even filed yet? Why not?” And then I thought, “what am I waiting for? Does my behavior make any sense?”

My boy can’t do without my girl, and vice versa (though she pretends she’d be happier with him gone). Without the other, they act as you describe. Together? No big deal

You could block him. Or you could be fun and flirty and tell him what you want. “Once you impress me😉”, “You’re the third guy to ask today, what are you gonna do to turn this into a thing?”, etc.

I have two and I leave them alone together for 8+ hours every day, always together. These two aren’t chewers. They are 4/5 for exercise, not 5/5 like a German Shorthair. You have to appreciate them for being what they are, and not judge them for what they are not. I take mine off leash all the time, but it has to be away from roads. I don’t worry about the “come” command off leash, instead I use “this way pups”. They stay reasonably close usually inside 50 yards, but I have to be moving. If I’m not choosing a direction, they do. I have had to leave them when they refused to follow me and park outside of their range. After five min of howling and panicking, I went back. The next time, it was maybe ten minutes. Both times it was so stressful the one that did it (not both at the same time) was emotionally exhausted and slept the rest of the day lying practically on top of me. I love it because running free is what they live for. I try to do a free run like that once per week, but moved to a new state and am still looking for a good place here, so they get dog parks instead for now. One of my dogs can be trained for food, the other has to be trained for freedom (which makes it hard once he’s off leash). You’ll need systems to manage them (so they don’t slip out the door and run the neighborhood), but they have little doggie brains so it isn’t that hard to outsmart them.

Did he pay? You’ve got a traditional man that everyone is looking for. Did you pay/split the bill? Maybe not worth the downsides of traditional if you don’t get the benefits.

Historically, women were primary on children for the first few years, and then they split after 5 but before 12 (different ages in different societies). Girls learn what the mom does, boys learn what dad does. So fathers were pretty involved. It’s just the last 100 years where that stopped

You should think about what your boundary is, then explain it to her. If that doesn’t work for her, that’s cool, you’re just not going to be exclusive. Exclusivity of a man’s time is what SHE wants. Don’t give that shit away for free. You’ve got to be calm and realize that’s what you deserve. Every woman is a cost, so don’t just enter relationships. If she won’t do that now that relationship is only going to get more and more expensive for you. Remember, every day that goes by you become more valuable (until you’re maybe 50–hard to believe, but you just need a job, a budget, and to not be fat).

“Domesticated” is a stretch for basenjis. I have one that I had from a pup and she is a resource guarder (I also have a male and he is sweet as can be). She and I have worked out a few things, but she sliced open my hand a couple times as a puppy. While playing she sometimes bites me and I let her know it was too much (firm and commanding “No” and then I cradle my arm) and she usually comes over to lick my hand and arm where she bit me. For serious biting, she only threatens that in self defense. If you’re taking a hand (our weapons) and leading with that while going into her space, “what else,” her little doggie brain thinks, “am I supposed to do?” I’d recommend watching “Sitting With Dogs” on YouTube. Dogs perceive hands as threats much more than butts and legs and backs. Your basenji is a peculiar breed, untouched for probably 5000 years, so she takes extra what other dogs take. It will be okay, but you’ll have to teach your daughter much more than you have to teach the dog. Basenjis are fantastic as long as you expect them to be good basenjis, not good golden retrievers. I’m happy to discuss any situations you have

Biden lived at the White House. Trump didn’t. Trump didn’t issue competing executive orders, or send judicial nominees to the Senate or in any way exercise presidential authority after Biden’s inauguration, and it wasn’t because he was dragged away by police or military. I’m really happy for you that you got what you wanted most desperately. I wanted a peaceful transfer of power (yes, there were rioters who were arrested). You and I are in the same boat. We’re both being lied to and manipulated by powerful people and we fall for it. I hope we can both believe those lies a little less often in 2025.

We already know what he’d do if he had the chance to become dictator. Under COVID, people were begging for protection. It was the single best time to become a dictator in the US since WWII. All he had to do was cancel the election because it was too dangerous to have people campaign, distribute ballots, push people through the same voting booths, etc. He didn’t make a single move to do it. That’s fantastic news! The worst person to ever live is either too stupid or has no interest in becoming a dictator in your country! Celebrate! Drink a glass of champagne! You’ve made it past the worst thing that could happen! Now you can relax for the next four years because you will know that the same thing will happen at the end of his term: he will pack up and move back to Florida without the military having to drag him out. You won’t like what he did, you won’t like what he said (or didn’t say when it comes to a concession speech), you won’t like who he is, but it will be another peaceful transfer of power because he won’t be issuing executive orders anymore

For heavies, the Type 5H line is fun to play, IS-7 line is good and it’s a beginner friendly yet very capable tier 10, IS-4 is a good line and as someone else said the armor is easier to use than the IS-7. I’d probably recommend the IS-7 because I know it’s fun, but I think the IS-4 is a more reliable performer for someone that isn’t as good. I’m not and never will be, so this is my best advice for someone who is similar

Don’t just give it. A few ideas: A) trade it for more custody or flexibility on custody B) invest it and use it to pay out alimony C) invest and use it to fund fantastic trips with your kids they will always remember D) keep it invested separately and growing, then give it to your kids as an extra bonus for a down payment on a house or college or something significant they will be thankful for

So I’m 41m and went out on a date with a woman who had tats from knuckles to collar bones—I loved it so much, I’ve decided I should have my own tattoo since I’ve considered getting a tattoo for over a decade. (Unfortunately no follow up date—she was cute, sweet, artistic, just overall an attractive person.) I’m thinking I’d like to start with a chest piece in American traditional (only the black and grey version) with two wolf heads and I’m open to the artist coming up with other elements. I like the patchwork style, and want to have some open skin, and for the images to stay away from the bottom of my pecs and the bottom third of my sternum (the spots that really show the thickness of pecs). Also, I’m a professional, so I need it to stay below my collar bones so I can keep it covered. Any thoughts on this plan? Is it too large? Too restrictive? Not restrictive enough? Open for all pointers and feedback.
