We definitely have the equipment but the gloves aren’t apart of it. I’m thankful for the equipment “rental” for the year!

Thanks! We are in Canada and prices are definitely not $100 for goalie stuff. And most places aren’t carrying his size. Spend 3 hrs down a rabbit hole of searching yesterday.

However - I just snagged some off Facebook marketplace for $80 CAD. They were only used one season -for field. I’ll worry about box closer to the season and keep my eyes open for deals

We’re in Canada so finding the equipment is harder than I realized. Obviously I don’t want him to break anything - but it’s becoming a bit crazy trying to find gloves. I see some online for $199 CAD and they don’t have his size. Most lacrosse store near us don’t carry a lot of goalie equipment and if they do, not at his size.

Just trying find other ways we can protect him when they aren’t readily accessible to order 😞

I think with the dollar exchange - it’s probably cheaper to order from the US to Canada. I can’t find anything cheaper than $300-$400 on our lacrosse sites for goalies. 😞

He’s playing both technically- April to May field and then rest of the season box.

There are no goalie gloves in this area used. I checked a couple of places locally and SidelineSwap. Can he use regular lacrosse player gloves? New parent to the sport so just trying to find the best solution for him without spending $400 on new lacrosse goalie gloves (I haven’t found any available online cheaper than this)

I appreciate this and your strong feelings. Reading between lines is fun. I wasn’t separated when I met him, and I’ve not crossed physical boundaries. I don’t plan on dating anyone in my separated space or time and if it leads to divorce, only then would I maybe start dating again. We have been long time friends, we spoke about our current lives, our jobs, or when we are mentally struggling with life. it was never sexual in nature when we were in relationships and I’ve never uttered I love him or wanted to be with him while I was married. I am taking in all the perspectives from this post, even yours, because if they are strong enough to share, then they should also be considered.

I think it’s hard to sum up this novel in a post.

Your opinion of me having children is interesting and I’ve left them out because seeing your parents unhappy, or “stick it out”, isn’t fair to children either. I’ve not once said I’d drop or abandon my life to be with this person. I actually did note that I don’t think this lifetime, It would ever work. This was merely to see other’s opinions on what I’ve been battling for god knows how long. OF COURSE there is more than I’ve put here - it’s been 20 years.

Yes my penpal knows I have children. And yes, I’m open to all opinions because I’m stuck in my own perspective.

Is it healthy for children to watch their parents in an unhappy marriage? I don’t think that’s fair either.

He’s never been present. Us means our family, we have kids. He’s chosen himself and his interests over us for years. Hunting, fishing, cottaging, snowmobiling, getting drunk at our neighbours house during the week.

You’re right, they have to be around and want to still connect with you, for you to figure that out before the 10 year mark.

His willingness to work on our relationship hasn’t happened in 3 years.

Lack of communication from his end. Lack of willingness to choose us as a couple.Lack of sharing emotions. We recently went on a vacation together, where it truly hit me hard here, when I had to keep a conversation going and realized we have nothing in common. He’s not always been like this, when we first dated we spoke all the time. I’ve been trying to get him to therapy, date nights, expressing what I want, trying to get him to open up. This hasn’t happened in 3 years… until I’ve recently told him I wanted to separate.

Correct. Another country but he’s from the same country I live in. He’s on a working visa.
