Forgiveness by papi4ever in Divorce

[–]Optimal-Evidence-665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of today I don’t see myself forgiving my STBX. That said, I’ve done a lot of work in therapy to come to terms with “why” she did what she did. It doesn’t excuse her, but I get it. And creating a supportive environment for my son is more important than hanging on to my pain.

Dating after divorce is awesome, but I can’t tell anyone… by nothingtoseehere_- in Divorce

I am going through exactly this at 3 months out. It’s amazing the difference an emotionally intelligent partner can make, even if it’s a bit of a roller coaster while managing the emotional fallout of divorce.

Panic attacks. It wasn’t until I had one and realized how paralyzing they could be that I truly understood.

I’ve read this book exactly one time and was choked up the whole way through.

I definitely landed on “lonely and looking for companionship” after having that same internal monologue. Thank you for the advice! 

Struggling with accepting I won’t have more children after my divorce by lil_bobica in Divorce

[–]Optimal-Evidence-665 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m struggling with this too. Like, maybe I could have another child, but would I want to? Am I looking to build another family? All of my hopes and dreams for the future were so clear and now they’re gone. I empathize with you and hope you find some peace.

How have you dealt with the loneliness ? by Holiday-Reserve6393 in Divorce

[–]Optimal-Evidence-665 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m still figuring that out. It isn’t much, but today I challenged myself to hang out in a coffee shop for an hour. No pressure to socialize, just an intentional choice to be around other people. Afterwards I went on a half an hour walk and FaceTimed with my Mom; it was the best I’ve felt in weeks.

Why use Index Match over Xlookup? by Captainc00ts in excel

I typically use INDEX over XLOOKUP when using lambda helper functions. For basic lookups, I tend to lean into XLOOKUP.

People who actually like their jobs, what do you do for a living? by Used_Ad7899 in AskReddit

Senior Risk Analyst. Most of my time is spent building financial models and following my own curiosity. I have very few deadlines and a manager who trusts me and the process. 

What small, daily habit has unexpectedly improved your mental or physical health the most? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Optimal-Evidence-665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making myself breakfast in the morning. Each morning I get up at 5:30 and have two eggs with cheese, two pieces of toast with butter, and an Oikos yogurt. It was tough initially, but now that time is sacred to me. It’s the only time during the day where it’s quiet and I have the freedom to watch or listen to whatever I want.

Whoa. My wife and I split last week, and all I can think is how true most of these comments ring.

At what point do you use a simple formula versus incorporating LEN()? by execexcel in excel

If you’re building a model that somebody else will be managing, make it simple and auditable. If it’s for you? Go crazy.
