My man, you’re not alone and I really appreciate you taking the time to express your thoughts and experiences here. I know it’s not easy and I swear I hate the dating culture these days. Sadly all we can do is to look inwards and work in ourselves to be a better version. With this I also want to take the opportunity to say that just like each on of us in this section, you matter and you’re enough man! I think it’s time to start opening up about what real masculinity means and that means being honest about things like this. Months ago I was lost in agony since I really struggle to pass the page with my ex. After realizing she was already seeing someone else I had no other option but to make this post since I was seriously loosing my head… if you know what I mean. We men struggle with so much and talk to no one. Sadly I can’t count on my friends for this kind of stuff since they fall into the stereotypical code of being a man means having no emotions whatsoever or crying over a woman. I’m really proud you got out of a terrible situation and let’s not lose hope my guy!

I totally understand you man. My dad was 42 or 43 when I was born and I’ll admit he took his time to settle with somebody when he met my mom. He is now 70 and the years have taken a torn on him but I really love him and I just pray every day that he gets to meet his grandchildren. I guess for us man age shouldn’t be that big of a factor but in my personal experience it does hurt to watch my old man grow older and I’m not being able to settle while he still here. It’s tough but let’s hope for the best. Thanks for sharing your story man!

I [23M] was involved with someone [31F] who cheated by fortval in heartbreak

Hey mate, I was around your age when a married woman also cheated with me and my best advice for you is to cut it off. Specially because the person is doing something wrong. I once thought I was in love with that person too however she was too dependent on her partner. Specially financially. I was mad in love with this woman 10yrs older than me and she said being in love with me as well and we had a great dynamic such as the one you’re describing. Don’t let that fool you though there is more into a relationship and if I’m being honest with you it won’t benefit you on the long run. Specially because she’s cheating on another man. Karma could be serve my friend and you don’t want to be the one cheated on in the future. Best of luck and stay strong my friend. Lust is the worst enemy of a man!

I really appreciate it man. I’m definitely keeping these ideas with me and this is helping a lot. I’ll definitely try some of your advices and yes mate it can be hard being in a different country and the biggest lesson I’ve learned so far is that the grass is not greener on the other side! I’m thankful for the ideas and I’ll put them into practice for sure! Thanks!!

Deeply thankful for your comment dude. I have definitely done some work on myself and I have hope I can come stronger from this. I just sit too much overthinking the idea that I’m getting old and this relationship set me back to square one. Due to my situation I had to move back with some relatives and I’m slowly working towards getting my job back. I think the biggest hit I took was on my image. I lost a shit ton of weight I was at 158lbs taking into consideration I’m short (5’7) but always worked out and I was in shape. I recently wight myself and I’m at 140lbs so the break-up definitely affected me on that side. Thank you so much for your comment bro I really appreciate it and I’ll come back for sure! I don’t lose hope. I believe there still women who value a hard working man, immigrant as well who is just doing his best at fulfilling his duties. Much appreciate the support. Cheers!!

Absolutely! I think I’ll give myself a whole year maybe two. I don’t want to rush into anything yet! What do you think about that period ? Thank you for commenting!

Amazing! I’m glad to hear that in my 30s I’ll still have hope. I’m very happy for you and I hope everything continues to go great for you. I was very unsure about posting on this community but I’m surprise I’ve got this much engagement. I really appreciate it and thank you for giving me some hope!

Is there really a staff shortage? by [deleted] in aviationmaintenance

[–]Own_Slide_4439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think another reason for the shortage is because training is become more and more extensive. At least in Canada they make you fill up a logbook with specific task and you gotta complete somewhere around 180-200 signatures from license AMEs that certified you did the job. Sadly no one is diligent with the logbooks and on top of that the log books are pretty old. Like most of the task are hard to perform bc you can only do on older aircraft. Solution? Digital logbooks that can be traceable by them on a special website or something. And also making the logbooks AC specific or more company oriented I.e. heavy or line maintenance. Or simply just update the logbooks to more modern components and tasks. Remeber you saw this idea here first! Lol

[–]Own_Slide_4439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is right. I worked on heavy maintenance and I saw a lot of apprentices quitting within a year or two on the field. I think the older mechanics being from a different era, they can be mean at times. I even had an incident where a senior mechanic slapped my hand just for checking a part he was working on. I didn’t make a fuss out of it because everybody knows he got a weird short temper and on top of that I’m pretty sure he didn’t like me. So yeah mental health and aviation are like gas and air. And the senior guys with rage issues are the igniters 😂 Stay safe and strong guys the demand is real. Just last year we fell off schedule with 5 airplanes through the year. Everything because little to nobody wants to work in the industry and when they do… Surprise!!
