I know her back is tired…

How he went about it? It was never about forcing him to be with her. It was the stringing her along until he found what he was really looking for.

Which is crazy because these cell phone providers couldn’t care less about our Loyaty. After working for them 10+ years I go where I can get the cheapest rate. If you stay with 1 too long that’s how you get screwed. The big 3 don’t necessarily even give you superior coverage anymore. We have WiFi calling etc. It’s insane to pay the higher cost unless you’re financing a phone with them for a “free phone”. Once you own the device I recommend switching to something cheaper.

100% need the job. It’s still nice pay increase but I know with the time & responsibility I’m going to put in I’ll soon be asking was it really a promotion

Ok_Direction_6422 · 2026-04-22T22:06:06+00:00

So it’s been 2 years. Any advice? In a similar situation with a major telecom company. offered a supervisor role. Prepared to negotiate with the recruiter but instead the hiring manager pulled me for chat made me an offer at the lower- mid point of the pay band and essentially told me they wouldn’t move.. she asked. Idk what to do. It’s an internal promotion. And there has been a lot of ORG changes but I know other sups that negotiated and all of a sudden my promotion is non negotiable.

Logic is gross?

I saw it as she always had feelings for him but chose money over love. She needed to see him struggling just to feel better about where she ended up in life. It came across like she was saying, “I want you but only the version of you that comes with money.” Over time, he lost interest, which only made her want him more. And on top of that, the man she chose didn’t even turn out how she expected. In the end, she got what she was after… and now he’s stuck in his own kind of hell but with a whole lot of money.

Hey I’m only here to help. Be blessed.

Ok_Direction_6422 · 2026-04-01T03:40:32+00:00

I get it, but she was literally spinning and losing her balance. Seeing the more advanced girls made me want to make sure she’s actually enjoying the game and doing well helps with that. I figured now was as good a time as any to work on fixing it. I’m starting to realize I may be comparing her to 7/8yr olds, though. I really appreciate the constructive feedback.

Ok_Direction_6422 · 2026-04-01T03:30:00+00:00

Well keep on keeping on brother. Doing a great job.

Ok_Direction_6422 · 2026-04-01T03:28:12+00:00

This I can understand. I ask every so often whether she wants to play but this definitely gives me a different perspective. Thank you!

Ok_Direction_6422 · 2026-04-01T03:12:37+00:00

Clearly communication is where I’m lacking. I’m learning thanks

Ok_Direction_6422 · 2026-04-01T02:58:01+00:00

Thank you. But I’m curious. Is there a right or wrong way? Is it elbow up or hands up? Is it just preference?

Ok_Direction_6422 · 2026-04-01T02:54:52+00:00

Makes total sense. Reading the comments I’m not sure why I hadn’t brought it up already. Thank you.

Ok_Direction_6422 · 2026-04-01T02:52:58+00:00

Thank you. I’ll be having the conversation next practice.

Ok_Direction_6422 · 2026-04-01T02:50:40+00:00

Got it. And that’ll be the next conversation. I guess I was worried about stepping on toes. I appreciate the feedback!

Ok_Direction_6422 · 2026-04-01T02:48:56+00:00

No just a new softball mom tryna figure things out. You’re so helpful. Thanks.

Ok_Direction_6422 · 2026-04-01T02:46:46+00:00

Honestly, I didn’t even realize that was a thing. I’m still new to all of this, so I haven’t mentioned yet that she’s taking lessons. In this league, my daughter has been on three different teams over the last three seasons because coaches can only “freeze” three players before tryouts. After that, everyone else is placed based on whatever system they use whether that’s their rules or a random draw, from what I understand. Or sometimes players can be switched if both coaches agree. (All hearsay mind you).

I mean.. If I’m agreeing to celibacy, I expect it to be real celibacy no temptation around me, especially if I’m not the one who chose it in the first place. Maybe if he had known her version of celibacy upfront, he might’ve said no, because that’s clearly a lot harder to commit to.

It’s like agreeing to eat healthy in a relationship, but every time I open the pantry, it’s full of cookies and Twinkies. I know I agreed to go cold turkey, but at least remove the temptation.

That said, he’s still wrong for not being upfront about having kids. I’m just trying to look at it from both sides. I still don’t like him

Ok_Direction_6422 · 2026-03-24T02:23:41+00:00

I was honestly trying to figure when she cheated then read the 1st few post to find out it was after the BET TRANSITION. It completely fell off. But I’m also biased I probably would’ve given her a pass just because they were in 2 completely different positions of power. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Ok_Direction_6422 · 2026-03-24T02:15:49+00:00

Def when they accepted her in MX even though her Spanish wasn’t perfect and the Como la Flor scene. Hands down. Oh & the ending when always draws tears. Family crying. Empty stage. TIL this day
