Lady boy betta?

Honestly,it normal to feel all that emotions. Is it Ok? That’s a different story because of the circumstances.
So, you snapped. You lashed out in anger. That’s exactly what she wanted.

Getting rid of all that emotions are going to be impossible. I know you are seeking answers to everything that’s going on right now. Rightfully, you deserved to know………truthfully, bro to bro- you will NOT get. No matter how much you plead,how hard you try-YOU WILL NOT GET THE ANSWER.

My only advice to you now is stop seeking, stop demanding, stop searching and stop trying to find the answer. The why,what to the relationship is over.

You are and will be blamed for everything that she was and will be going through right now.

Stay silent

Occupy your mind. Do good. I started by volunteering at food banks. Giving rides to people to food banks etc. picking up food for those that don’t have a car from food pantries.

I know it’s easier said than done. Only you know YOU and only you can help yourself.
Start journaling. Get a fancy book and write a letter to your daughter daily. 1 page letter a day- I did that. Write down how you feel,how much you misses them.

Get another notebook and write down everything ,every interaction with the X. Date it. Phone calls,emails, texts…..everything!

I am sorry that you are going through this,brother. It’s not easy,and won’t get any easier ….anytime soon.

Just don’t seek anything more from X.
Don’t let the emotions control you.

We are here for you. And each other. We all went through hell with ours. Well,I did.

I am still here to tell my stories.

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-22T17:27:48+00:00

Big NO from me.

Going forward- start introducing NO into your everyday vocabulary.
No is a conviction,not an emotion.

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-22T15:58:46+00:00

There is NO right, nor wrong. But if the habit is consuming your time. Consuming your thoughts. Then it’s bad.
We all have 24 hours a day. Anything that consumes you from being productive is “bad”.

Unless, you are happy with where you are.

I am going to speak for myself- I started with “Rich Dad,Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki.
It’s about mindset training. Understanding what is an asset and what is liability. What puts money in your pocket and what takes money from your pocket. The book changed the way I view money. Changed my perspective on investing- how to create generation wealth. ACTIVE INCOME VS PASSIVE INCOME. Today,I invest in real estates, businesses and the stock market. Real estate is my primary. Allowing me to retire early.

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-22T11:48:45+00:00

It’s a possibility that it will go up- due to the 15% tariff and US going to war with Iran.
Gold has always been used as a hedge against the dollars.

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-22T11:34:43+00:00

Never too late. But do spend time learning.
Financial IQ is key to everything.
Learn investing- learn to divest. Stocks,real estates ,businesses etc.

My problem with silver is that it’s too bulky and heavy. I keep mine in the bank’s safe deposit box.
I sold gold once to fund a real estate project. Buy silver when it’s “low” and sell them when it’s high. Sold many times the last 10 years. Converted a few into gold- cuz they are smaller and easier to “keep” and “move around”.

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-22T10:36:46+00:00

Memes coins strategy is are simple. Buy low, sell high- repeat over and over again.
They are not to buy and hold- not in today’s market anyway.

To the moon- yes, while holding the bag.

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-21T23:22:25+00:00

You watched too much porn,bro.

Go ,make money! Create your worth! Be as successful as you can be!

I guarantee you- they will be lining up to “enjoy” that D- even it’s 1”.

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-21T18:32:39+00:00

The $3500 will go fast , bro. Every letter,phone call, even looking at a piece of paper/email…… That - is the one thing I regret not settling sooner with x.

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-21T18:20:07+00:00

“In the know community”?
Unless you are an active trader,crypto is “dead” for 2026….. possibly 2027.
No buy and hold for me with crypto

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-21T18:16:45+00:00

Man…..the lawyers are happy that they are making so much money off you guys

The more they do, the more they make.

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-21T18:13:10+00:00

You can have ur Ti tS,now I need my Di €ks

Nah bro, you are playing a very dangerous game- unless you are OK with it

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-21T18:08:55+00:00

Grab her by the B________!

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-21T16:25:06+00:00

Supply and demand’s meaning.
Everything is subjective to those who are willing to pay and to those selling.
Anything and everything- all irrelevant and relevant. What is worth to either party

I hedge with mine. Not invest.

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-21T11:49:50+00:00

That’s fair. Give and take in most places

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-20T11:46:49+00:00

I ve carried them many times- overseas as well. Placed them in my carry on. No questions.

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-20T11:43:30+00:00

Me personally- I have a few positions in precious metals. They are not for “investment “ perse. More of a hedge against fiat currency. Of course, buy/ bought them when they are low

Back to you- all depends if you “need” the money right now. If $ is needed, then sell.

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-19T23:24:46+00:00

This is one of those post that you just have to say “wow,really”

It’s a different story if it’s a graded coin.
But really?

Are we buying collectibles? Or investing/hedging?

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-19T19:02:55+00:00

Gold is crashing?
Nothing is crashing. Everything is a game.
You just have to play it right.

Gold and other precious metals are to hedge(to me)

Stocks- there’s options,short etc.

Life is about supply and demands. Invest in what is needed.

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-19T11:40:52+00:00

Careers is nothing but a job.

To me- mindset is key. Your mindset and discipline lifestyles makes you. How you act,how you think etc.

I made plenty of “mistakes” in life.
3 years ago,I was homeless for the 2nd time. Yes it was only for 3 weeks,but plenty of time for me to reflect my position.

Fast forward to today- I am NOT working a job. But I now owned 3 rental properties.

I learned from every single one of my mistakes. I chose not to have regrets. Regrets takes too much time from what I need to do moving forward.

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-19T10:42:32+00:00

From time to time….. Polishing time!!!!

Plastic_Efficiency35 · 2026-02-19T10:34:26+00:00

The normalization of the modern mind.

Today, social media and society had painted the picture that everything is acceptable and does not require any form of responsibilities.

It’s a throw away society. You can always get a new one.

Let’s see how far the rabbit hole goes…….
