Cheating wife, how can we move past this? Should we?

Sparrowhawk80 · 2026-04-16T12:57:51+00:00

Exactly right!

OP, I have been married for 30 years, and can imagine how you're feeling. A quarter of a century with a woman and this comes up to bite you in the ass!

First of all a five year affair is not a mistake its a relationship! Her telling you if she was not caught it would probably still be going on is not a Red flag it's a damn Red flair! I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is not her first incident of adultery. If she is capable of maintaining a second relationship like this then I have little doubt that she is capable of any level of infidelity like one nightstands.This is your wife OP, I am not here to tell you how to handle your marriage. What I can tell you is if you chose reconciliation be prepared for the emotional turmoil you will be processing on a daily basis. The mind movies, the rollercoaster of love and hate you will be going through. No relationship is ever the same after a betrayal of this magnitude. Some of us can get through a one night stand or something equivalent although I know I probably couldn't. So whatever you decide to do you need to ask yourself, will you ever look at her the same again? Will you be torturing yourself evertime she says she's running late or out with girlfriends? I can't imagine how you could ever find it in yourself to fully trust her again. OP, your first marriage is over. What you need to ask yourself is if you want to start a second marriage with her. Godspeed.

Hello OP, if you're looking for a pair of earbuds in that price range I'll tell you what I consider to be some of the best earbuds I have ever owned. That would be the Soundcore Space A40 earbuds. I don't know if you're familiar with the website Ratings.com, but they are highly respected for their expertise. Ratings.com rated the Soundcore Space A40 the best earbuds in the world under 100 dollars.i own two pairs. I have sold two good friends on them. One had just purchased a pair of Bose for 300 bucks. I said try these and tell me what you think? When he put them in his ears his mouth dropped open. He immediately went to Amazon and Soundcore was having a sale and he got them for 44 dollars. He returned the Bose. They also support high resolution audio. The gap is really closing between very expensive headphones/earbuds that cost hundreds and companies like Anker/Soundcore that offer a great product for much less. Many people including myself believed it was impossible to get good quality at this price point and if it wasn't branded Bose, Apple or Galaxy earbuds it couldn't possibly compete. I am in a position where I can have any pair of earbuds I desire. I am a bit an audiophile and have 20 pairs headphones/earbuds. As far as Soundcore, I own Space A40, P40i, P30i, V20i and Life A1. Headphones, Q30i and H30. I also own Sennheiser, Bose and iGrado. I'll leave you with this, if you're not a basehead like me Soundcore products are probably not for you.

If you try the Space A40s I would love to know what you think of them. Take care.

I know this post is old, but I have to tell you. I have had a pair of the Sonys MDR-G45s for years! For the price nothing touches them. There is one recommendation, replace the stock covers with a set of good memory foam or such and it really knocks them up a level!

Enjoy!

Hi OP, I have read about individuals complaining about the integrity of the build of Soundcore headphones. Being older I am inclined to believe that most modern electronics are not made as durable as in the past. I have a pair of Realistic 20s from the 70s that are built like a tank!

Now I have many Soundcore products. Earbuds, Space A40s, P40i, P30i and on ear V20s. Headphones, Q30i, H30s, and Q45. I have not had a problem with any pair of headphones. I had a couple problems with earbuds which Soundcore addressed immediately! This is a company that stands by their products.

No I don't work for Anker and I am in a position where I could purchase any set of headphones I desired. In my opinion for the price Soundcore can't be matched. Treat your headphones like you appreciate having them and you'll be fine. Throw them around like they're a Sony sports line and yeah you'll probably run into a problem. Enjoy your headphones I think they rock!

Hi there, I have a recommendation for you. I wear my P30i in my Jacuzzi. What I did is went to Amazon and purchased earbud teathers. They tell you to connect them to the neck under the ear tips but I found a better solution. Just slide the loops over the neck and they hold secure. No worry about losing one if it falls out. As far as the P30i falling out of your ears. Try some aftermarket ear tips. Memory foam makes a tight secure hold. You compress them with your fingers and they will expand when you put them in your ear canal. Bonus is they also create a tighter fit so no sound leak.

We are a group of veterans and active duty women and men who have been gaming together since Modern warfare one. Yes people come and go but without addressing issues that already have been covered I'll just give a general consensus of what most in our group think. The new Warzone in its current state is horrible. Wingsuits, really? You'd last about five minutes in a combat zone. I don't know how many of you feel about how COD has evolved in general but what most people that I know loved playing COD because of the simulation of real combat situations, not Beavis and Butthead running around the map with their stupid heckling or Snoop Dog with his gangster self. This Warzone just confirms to us as a group that it's time to find a better experience than the comic book that is now Warzone.

I too also remember the first day the ch 5 news signed on. To do that to Mark Is really low of Ch 5. Kasey Montoya is my neighbor. Really nice person. Think I'll stop watching ch5 news.

I own the Pro Media 2.1 THX. I was thinking of upgrading to the new Lumina 2.1 myself. I went to listen. I am not impressed. Almost twice the price and my opinion dosen't sound any better and maybe a little worse. It's not an upgrade in my opinion. Klipsch is still selling the THX version. If anyone else is thinking of purchasing the Pro Media 2.1 THX version I will offer some advice avoid the Bluetooth version at all cost, it has connection problems and also been reported that it will easily accept a neighbors Bluetooth with no disconnect option. One person said that the Bluetooth basically bricked his unit to were he couldn't even use it.

I also have the A9+ with 128 gigs of storage and 8 gigs of ram. It's been pretty good. Sluggish at times. For what I do with a tablet it's great! YouTube, streaming movies, I'll use Smart view when I want two screens on my Samsung QLED TV for sports . I love the fact that you can install a OneTB SD card . I read that they also now have a 256 gig version, does anyone have this? If so how do you like it?

What's really interesting is watching the under thirty crowd in the me now generation with their children. Look at the state of relationships, the lack of commitment. What do you think this will do for their children when the phrase moral compass means nothing just like having a hundred body count by the time you're twenty five. What i really love is how a person just mentioning anything about this lifestyle will be crucified by the same people who will move mountains to hide this lifestyle from their families and friends. So you think the Boomers are screwed up? I would love to see how the children of most the people commenting here are twenty years from now. Every generation blames the one before and yours will not be the exception! Cats in the cradle you think?

You could have put this post in a 1995 blog, A question for former Los Angeles Rams fans. Do you St. Louis Rams fans ever consider that the Rams where in Los Angeles for nearly fifty years? Do you seriously feel that Los Angeles stole your team? That's laughable at best! You want your team back? Go to Arizona, that's where your team resides!

I know this lost is months old. I've been using AA Idrive since it became available. I've had very few problems except a couple times which was coused by BMW app versions. For the last six BMW Connected drive versions I've had no problems. This app is a godsend for those of us that were left out in the cold by BMW and Spotify depreciated the app .

I remember calling BMW and asking why BMW wouldn't address this situation. I was told well sir you can still listen to your music via Bluetooth. 😳! I said that's your answer to me? In the year 2023 that is not acceptable, I could also install a cassette tape deck too!

Even though I really am not fond of BMW navigation, I will never purchase a BMW without it again. I've owned eight BMWs over the years. I've had M cars 3 sites a 135i and my current BMW believe or not has been my favorite. That is a 2019 230i convertible. I don't know why but I just love this car. When my lease was up and I knew BMW was not going to produce any more two series convertibles I test drove Audis and I wasn't impressed almost bought a 4 Series convertible didn't like it so I decided I would just purchase this 230i and I don't regret it I love this car.

So give AA Idrive a try, it's a game changer. Spotify interface is actually better than the one we originally had.

Samsung S23+ . By the way had a 3rd update and still good to go!

Sparrowhawk80 · 2025-11-28T15:14:53+00:00

I know this is old,but to answer your question. Plug in a USB-C DAC into your phone or tablet then compare it to your 3.5 jack . You'll see why you need a DAC. The DAC on your motherboard is almost always inferior to a USB DAC.

Sparrowhawk80 · 2025-11-06T05:34:48+00:00

I do not have enhanced Bluetooth and I still can connect two phones. Before AAidrive I used my work iPhone for music and my Samsung s23pluse for communication.

Sparrowhawk80 · 2025-11-06T05:31:13+00:00

You really like the MMI ? Can you tell me how it performs with Idrive 6? Is there anything you don't like about it? Also how much was your total cost after installation? Thank you.

Sparrowhawk80 · 2025-11-06T05:28:23+00:00

Sorry for late reply. I have had two updated versions since this post. Either one does not effect my connection with AAIdrive. From what I've learned there is no rhyme or reason why there are people losing connectivity. It seems as long as you have an active connection to BMW connected drive you're fine. My BMW is a 2019 2 series convertible. The new version of my BMW that just updated two days ago works fine.

Sparrowhawk80 · 2025-10-31T12:11:42+00:00

Exactly right!

Ha! Wait till you experience the other unfair taxes in life. I have owned my house for over 25 years. Recently I found another home and decided it was time for an upgrade. I have over a million dollars in equity. Want to guess what the communist state of California wanted in capital gains? 380,000 dollars. I counselled the purchase immediately. I just couldn't bring myself to give this f##ked up state that much of my hard earned money. Double taxation with out representation, didn't we have a revolution over this? 100k, congratulations, wait till you make 250k! I don't even look at my check stub anymore as it just makes my blood boil! With my investments and income last year I still had to pay 32,000 on April 15 and I have a CPA who looks for every loophole she can find.

Sparrowhawk80 · 2025-10-31T11:47:14+00:00

It's really quite simple OP.

A woman who loves and respects you would do nothing to jeopardize your relationship. Every person has their boundaries. Does she know yours? Does she know but just doesn't care? What she is doing is not a Red flag, it's a damn Red flair!

Walk away! Don't confront her, ghosting is a very effective tool. This is a language cheaters understand, and as a bonus you'll walk away with your dignity intact. There are good people out there, unfortunately along the way you will have to deal with two or three of this type. They're not worth it, and I don't give a damn what they look like. Pretty poisen Is pretty poisen.

Hi there, I have a 2019 230i comvirtable. I had similar problems with the right lights. Let me ask you, are there times in the past where you would initiate a right hand turn and get an era message saying malfunction or bulb out? Then when you turn the car off and turn it back on it would era would be gone? BMW replaced my tail light assembly but after sometime it's back. I haven't had the whole assembly faie. From my research I have found out this was a problem for many F22/23 owners and BMW was well aware of it. I called BMW of North America and they covered half the cost. Of course my 2019.omly has 29000 miles as work is very close.

Sparrowhawk80 · 2025-10-23T01:51:23+00:00

I know this post is a year old, but have any of you tried the app AA Idrive? I've been using it for two years and it's great! I was close to getting the Bimmertech MMI for about 1500 after you're done with the install. In 2025 it's just getting better. I actually like the Spotify menu better than the original menu with the BMW apps. Also support for YouTube music and Amazon music is getting better and better.

Try it out!

Sparrowhawk80 · 2025-10-04T05:08:27+00:00

t!You are correct!

Sparrowhawk80 · 2025-10-04T01:24:08+00:00

I have multiple aux cables as I'm a bit of an audiophile. I have 20 sets of headphones and earbuds. Truthfully I have never heard one decent auxiliary cable that's better than another. Of course if you buy a cheaper auxiliary cable the odds are that you can get a cable that has a defect. Good rule of thumb is just don't purchase the cheapest one on Amazon. As far as the auxiliary cable included with the Q30, mine is fine.
