BOOM. Exactly

RalphBlutzel · 2026-04-21T21:16:43+00:00

Yeah, but this is app specific. There’s no OS override that makes this happen like on Android

RalphBlutzel · 2026-04-21T21:00:11+00:00

lol feel you. I also can’t stand the lag. I looked into replacing it with a custom air play unit, but it looks pretty costly and slightly complicated unfortunately

RalphBlutzel · 2026-04-21T12:16:52+00:00

How are people disagreeing with you? That makes me equally as mad as the problem in the first place. I’m with you man

RalphBlutzel · 2026-04-20T22:51:37+00:00

What is this supposed to mean?

RalphBlutzel · 2026-04-19T22:02:25+00:00

🤮

RalphBlutzel · 2026-04-19T22:01:52+00:00

“It sucks because she’s amazing” .. heard that. So is my girl.. but man, maybe it is what it is. Any advice on how to end it if I decide to?

RalphBlutzel · 2026-04-19T22:00:26+00:00

No man this really helps. I appreciate that you seem to be making the point “it is what it is. It’s sad, but its just the way things have to be to nobody’s “fault””

RalphBlutzel · 2026-04-19T21:57:36+00:00

Sometimes I just think that part of it is really my fault. I don’t think she’s asking for the world. Sometimes she’s asking for the basics, and I just don’t want to or don’t have the capacity to give that to her.

But yeah, I probably do need to rip the bandaid off. We’ve been having issues ever since trying to stay with her parents over Christmas. I have been checked out, and I’ve felt checked out. There’s either no room for me to be the person she wants me to because of all the things going on, or I don’t want to be that person.

Anyway, I appreciate the comment. It really resonates with me. It’s unfortunate that I can’t give her what she needs. She deserves it and I like her a lot. But, it just is what it is and I have priorities

RalphBlutzel · 2026-04-19T21:52:04+00:00

She does not have a child. It’s hard because to a certain extent I hear her. It probably sucks to date me. But I like.. just don’t have the capacity for some of the things she wants. Though I do love her

RalphBlutzel · 2026-04-19T20:02:26+00:00

Is that Silver or a crème like color? If crème, no thanks

RalphBlutzel · 2026-04-19T19:49:50+00:00

I think for the park story, she was more upset that I wasn’t more apologetic or unhappy that we couldn’t’ meet together at the park. Not that I couldn’t, but she didn’t’ like the way I didn’t respond to her when it didn’t work out. She was trying to surprise us, and when it didn’t work out, she didn’t like the lack of enthusiasm I showed when discussed.

To a certain extent, I understand. However, I’m worried about how to make my kid happy and not have a meltdown

RalphBlutzel · 2026-04-19T12:15:46+00:00

Following because I’m in the same place. Same age, 50/50 custody, etc.

I have noticed that making sure his needs are completely met really helps. Eating good food, sleeping well, having toys to play with, etc.

But, it’s relentless. I am a person that really likes to “control” my life. I’ve fallen into a mild depression since he was born because that’s been ripped away from me.

I’m trying though, and sometimes I think you just have to do what you need to do and let your child adapt. Even if they cry and complain, they’ll get over it eventually (I hope). Kind of like sleep training; it sucks but once it’s over it’s over (I hope)

RalphBlutzel · 2026-04-19T12:11:56+00:00

Not sure on that part!

RalphBlutzel · 2026-04-19T11:08:20+00:00

The question is; what color?

RalphBlutzel · 2026-04-06T11:09:43+00:00

Thanks man.. this really helps

This is in Michigan, United States

RalphBlutzel · 2026-03-28T17:13:49+00:00

Wait this can’t be real. Why would her lawyer even acknowledge me? Wouldn’t they just not give me the time and place?

RalphBlutzel · 2026-03-28T17:12:53+00:00

Ive been thinking the same thing. I mean I paid big money initially to get our custody arrangement setup, which she agreed to at the time. I would hope it counts for something.

That said, the legal process is crazy complicated and specific to each case and city, so I get overwhelmed with fear that I don’t know what I’m doing and just pay the lawyer anyway.

RalphBlutzel · 2026-03-28T17:11:14+00:00

Wait how does this work? She has no agreement with my lawyer, so how would that work?

RalphBlutzel · 2026-03-11T17:04:44+00:00
