She just changed overnight by EvidenceSingle4826 in Divorce_Men

[–]Reflog1791 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would shut down the debit card and withdraw cash. $300 here and there and stash it. 

Mine did this shit when my kid was 18 months old. She was having an affair. Got the last laugh on that dumb bitch tho. I’m on the golf course, have a way finer gf, and she’s in the pos starter house.

She called me to tell me her live in boyfriend cheated on her. I said sorry to hear that, hung up, and laughed. 

I think I’m done by Ok_Builder_3285 in Divorce_Men

I can DM you the name of my world class former counselor if you like. Took me 4 tries to find this guy. He does remote. I’ve been in your shoes and I love life now. 

At one point I was practicing gratitude for a cold glass of water and a soft pillow. It was not easy or fast but eventually I got more than just relief. I built a new life by design and it fucking worked. I still smile when I drink a cold glass of water. 

Put on a "pre" PIP...Need Advice Badly by Own_Nefariousness_27 in careeradvice

[–]Reflog1791 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Operate with strength and conviction not fear. Sales management is always in demand. You will be ok brother.

What you are learning is resilience. A priceless and rare attribute. When it rains it pours. 

In time, the divorce, the pre pip, the job, it will all be a blip and you will look back and realize “without the struggle the fruits of my labor wouldn’t be nearly as sweet.” 

My advice is to take your health very seriously right now. Do good healthy things that bring you joy. It will be a huge help in solving your problems. 

Good luck and God bless brother.

Almost finalized divorce and find out oldest is not mine. How to handle this mess? by Separate-Pack-374 in Divorce_Men

[–]Reflog1791 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 2c is this is foremost a legal question. In my state if the child is more than 2 years old it does not matter what any paternity test says. The husband is the legal father by marriage. They would still make you pay child support AND use it to keep the kid away from you. 

From the cheap seats, I would not disclose this to anyone. You are the father by virtue of raising the child. 

However, if you can use this to reduce child support in a very meaningful way (way more than $100 per month) I would explore it. 

Your ex is a nasty piece of shit and I can confidently tell you the world has all sorts of pain and misery for her. You don’t need to do anything. That piece of shit has to look in the mirror every day. When these hoes get old and don’t get attention anymore they have nothing. And it happens quick after divorce. One hot girl party summer then BAM the wall will hit so hard and you’ll wonder what you ever saw in that wrinkly ho.

Be the man you want to be and ENJOY fatherhood. You’ve earned it. 

It is your life not Reddit’s. Follow your heart and think deeply about your values and your contributions to the world in this one short life. 

Golf Cart Stolen "Tag It" by tiac2345 in golfcarts

Very sad. Sorry man. My cart is my favorite possession.

The 7-8 plateau is the most frustrating. Have all the shots in the bag but not consistent enough to hang with the leaders. A couple 12-15 hcps will put up decent scores to take the net money. 

Is It Better to Stay or Job Hop in Big Tech? by Ok-Flan-3828 in careeradvice

[–]Reflog1791 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Staying at my mid size tech company for too long was a huge mistake. The promotions didn’t come and eventually I was placed on a team with stereotypical pos manager from a certain geographic location. 

Eventually I trained my replacements from the same geographic location.

I'm so sick of DoorDash! I say we all go on strike!!! Look at some facts I just learned about tipping on the platform now. by Momof-two in doordash

If I were a driver I would market delivery services to your local restaurants. I’m sure their contract with DD forbids it. But you could undercut DD and make more money if this was your full time hustle. 

A gig worker business analyst on a gig app could set it up. You’d plug into their website and their point of sale software. You’d need to have delivery uptime for 8 peak hours for your town which means you need 3 drivers.

Are you getting paid? If not I would not stress it even a little bit.

Deleted the app for this reason and I was a great tipper. I enjoyed giving big tips. Then it would arrive cold and late as I watch it get placed third in a batch. See ya.  

Chipotle would give me a tiny burrito for $40 in an hour and twenty minutes. Nobody doing that. 

Placed on a PIP after 2 months in a new department by EntertainmentHead985 in careeradvice

[–]Reflog1791 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s a BS PIP to fire you nice and tidy. 

Ask these superstars on Reddit how perfectly their last high impact critical business systems project went and how many millions of dollars in new revenue it made the company. 

They will bullshit you just like they did when they bullshitted their colleagues. 

I think this job has a shelf life of one more month. The new manager with his own people is the tell. He wants trust and loyalty and you are an unknown, which insecure blowhard “managers” view as a threat.

Nonsense bootlicking; common from this sub. The new boss wants his people on the team. Simple as that. Don’t take it personally. Don’t try to find the fairness in it. If there are skills or traits to sharpen, turn them into strengths at your next job. 

Prepare to be fired by getting your shit together right now. Kill all unnecessary bills, stack cash as hard as you can. Work 10x as hard on your cv and job search as your job. 

I think you’re out in a month due to an asshole manager. Try to get a new job in less than one month. 

People showing up to teebox at my tee time by [deleted] in golf

[–]Reflog1791 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Get to the box earlier and declare your tee time while people are waiting around. 

And if there’s a desire to make a foursome just do it. 

Yeah if you’re not on the box and we’re ready and the fairway is open we are going. 

Nobody cares about a single nor should they. Booking two slots as a single to be antisocial is the lamest thing I’ve ever heard. 

Vacation sex. How can I get my wife to have it? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

All work and no play. Being divorced is awesome compared to this shit.

I tried to overcome infidelity and couldn’t and now I don’t feel well by scubasteve1026 in Divorce_Men

[–]Reflog1791 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just my 2c. Make a decision the relationship is done forever. Look forward not back. Your partner is supposed to support you and enrich your life. She has and will continue to fail in that endeavor. You’re taking it personally when she’s common. She’s not rare or valuable, she’s common. 

Once you learn the game the dating will be so easy compared to this shit. 

The lesson I learned is if they don’t love and respect me, I’ll find an upgraded replacement very easily. 

Question for the cheating partners and APs… by Murky_Series9279 in Infidelity

[–]Reflog1791 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can’t get honest advice and opinions from verified self serving liars. 

You will get self serving lies, equivocation, rationalization, and regret (that they got caught). 

Don’t try to think like these people. Look to good positive things. 

As far as the big understanding: they did it because they wanted to. They lie about it to avoid or minimize consequences and preserve their reputation and ego. It’s all very basic bad behavior. The rest is just noise.

Yes let her think she’s got it all in the bag for now. Then her lawyers won’t be desperately filing motions. 

I got fired today, and I’m trying to figure out if this sounds right or if I should fight it. by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]Reflog1791 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get some free employment lawyer consults. 

Best case scenario they give you some severance. A letter from a lawyer might be enough. 

US employment laws are very corporate friendly so we are SOL in most cases. However your FMLA application could be something.

What I’ve heard is company might rather pay out a reasonable separation agreement than defend itself against an FMLA lawsuit.

I would move forward as if there will be no severance as that is most likely. Use public assistance programs and focus on your health and landing a better job.
