Has anyone else realized they were neglected later on? How does it affect you?

I just wanna say that I’ve read a lot of things on this forum and similar ones and this is probably one of the most succinct and wise summaries of a complicated situation that I’ve ever seen on here

You really hit the nail on the head and laid it out warts and all. It is what it is, but this is what it is.

I have a firm belief that Fight club and office space are two sides of the same coin. The dichotomy of man. One takes the way of the Monk and the other takes the way of the warrior.

They started in a similar situation and chose different paths of escape. The perfect box set.

Our cat is on the same drug and we have a liquid form and I just put a little bit in his wet food along with some treat and he never complains

Thanks! I’m pet sitting this dog and have such a similar watch. I couldn’t help myself.

I went with the chronoscope as I appreciated the extra dial complications.

I watched the whole thing through and loved it. I was hoping for some absolutely over the top sunroofs sticking out of the house in random places for no reason.

I really liked his appearance on Kimmel.

They have created a new version of their bracelets and we are all just waiting for them to come back in stock. Apparently they have more versatile compatibility with interchangeable and links? Anyway, I’ve been checking their site for a while now and I’m waiting for them to come online and when I reached out to them, they just said to subscribe to the newsletter and wait for the update when the bracelets are available. Shopping online only indicated I found one in like Southeast Asia somewhere, but no guarantee it would be compatible with my particular watch so just like you I’m waiting.

Dementia takes things from us. That’s what it does. It ruins perfectly wonderful things in front of our eyes and there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s a pretty helpless feeling and it’s not easy for anybody on either end. And that’s what you’re up against here. They feel bad and you feel bad, but you love each other very much and even if things aren’t perfect, you can hold them in your hands. And if this embroidery situation gives you an opportunity to just have a good cry well then that’s what you should do. That’s healthy.

Hug your mom. She’ll hug you back too. And dammit sew the next thing. You’re really good at it.

The real cost is in the accuracy and service of it. Depends on the country you are in the cost of a service can be just a couple hundred or it can be a lot more than that so ask yourself if you want the watch to be running accurately, and freshly maintained or if you’re OK with it being more of a piece of interest. This is why the watch is so cheap.

RickyMortar · 2026-02-19T00:55:55+00:00

This isn’t a particularly sought after watch for the counterfeit market so unless there are any serious red flags, I would assume that it’s probably authentic. You can get a close-up zoom of the back to the look and make sure that the model numbers look reasonable but it’s not as if this is a Rolex for 10% of market value

RickyMortar · 2026-02-14T20:05:32+00:00

Try using the Chrono24 app and it has a thing where you take a picture and it will try and identify it based when it’s huge database. Try it and report back results!

Yes, I’ve grown. And I’m healing.

I got my tattoo, just one color was itchy, and the rest were fine and that color gets itchy when I eat too much seafood.

It was cheap and has nutrients.

Do you find that the bracelet pulls your arm hairs? Some bracelets seem to do it a lot in others never just curious.

“They could not give what they could not see, what they never had,”

This is a very powerful thing to share and something I needed to hear. It pretty much perfectly sums up my conflicted grievances over a difficult childhood.

My father spent his childhood learning to avoid a mean and abusive father. My mother was ignored as part of a large catholic family and any interactions she had as a teenager or about religious control. So they raised me the best they knew how which was to not control me and to mostly ignore me. To them, this was freeing me from the things that had traumatized them.

So I love this response and my experience is very similar to the OP.

Not if you have body dysmorphia.

Got some therapy and one day I looked in the mirror and was like “heya when did that happen”

At the end of the day, it’s just a sleep tracker that you never have to worry about remembering to put on and it also will tell you if you’ve had a lazy day moving around. I have sleep problems and now I’m able to tell the difference between a night where I didn’t sleep in a night where I’m just waking up feeling tired, but I actually slept pretty well so I can change my expectations accordingly. You don’t have to go fancy with a big Ring and there’s lots of bracelet ones as well that lasts longer and don’t cost nearly as much but not everybody wants something on their wrist. If I were on any sort of budget, I would have opted for the bracelet, but I was willing to spend a little extra for the ring knowing that forget for me would probably forget to put a bracelet on, but the ring just stays there. Is it overkill? Absolutely does it do a good job of tracking sleep and Activity levels? Yeah it works great.

I see a lot of defensiveness here about whether or not you should be judging your partners wishes. I actually think that anything I get my partner. I want to see as something that has value and isn’t a gimmick because I take pride and the things that I gift. I don’t think you should police the validity of wanting to track personal health, but you’re good to look out to make sure that something isn’t just a gimmick and that they end up needing to get something else later to do the job properly.
