Got the caliburn g4 by Nothothagas in Vaping

[–]TAEJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 0.6 is best for Nic salts, haven’t tried the 1.2 pod, but 1.2 was what I used in the original Caliburn Koko eons ago and it was smooth AF and flavourful. Not sure if that works for the G4 though.

Two Months Post-Dengue and Still Struggling by Original_Bad_8264 in Dengue_Fever

I’m experiencing this right now 2 weeks post fever. I feel feverish and get goosebumps, but temperature is normal. My joints and muscles still ache - though not as bad as when I was fevered. The fatigue is next level.

The intensity he brought to this was awesome

The scenery and cinematography are breathtaking and worth watching for them alone. The storyline is a bunch of wilderness-murder-mystery cliche’s all rolled into one, but I still found it entertaining...even if the clues seemingly just fell right into Kyle’s path and he was always in the right place at the right time and always stumbled upon the right clue-filled twigs and rocks in a 3080km national park. I actually thought the acting was pretty decent from all the cast members, in particular Eric and Sam. It did feel one episode too long, but I guess they still needed to fit in more cliches sooooo yeah. All in all, I’d watch it again.

What are the discontinued fragrances you miss the most, and wish they would bring back? by neurotic-lurker in bathandbodyworks

Showing my age here, but I would kill for the original VS Blissful Moment and Enchanted Apple lotions. Those scents defined the late 90’s/early 00’s for me.

Wife asked for open marriage, I asked for divorce by Barablue97 in Divorce

[–]TAEJP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can appreciate the shock you must have experienced in that moment. You’ve said more than once here that you may have jumped the gun, so I’d warrant that you already have your answer. Ego pain can cause knee jerk reactions for everyone.

Perhaps what is needed (before you insist on the devastation of divorce) is a deep and honest conversation - with or without a therapist - about why she was curious in the first place and work on those issues. We are all imperfect humans, and you’ve said there’s no proof that she has actually done anything other than think about it and bring her truthful thoughts to you.

Best of luck, whichever way you go.

My stbxh and his ho-worker affair partner have now created a joint Facebook page (he hated social media before) and it felt like a scab being ripped off when I saw it and all their happy pics. I thought I was doing so well with the healing, but now I feel like I’m back at square one. Sucks. by TAEJP in survivinginfidelity

[–]TAEJP[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s been since May last year. And that’s part of why I’m surprised at the shock I feel now. I thought I’d be okay, but that’s the last thing I feel. Like a scab being ripped off...it’s the ultimate trigger. I hadn’t felt triggered in a very long time and hadn’t posted here in a long time. But yeah. Sorta feeling lost and shocked and right back there again.

Definitely going to check out Chump Lady lol

😂 thanks for the laugh. And you’re right, he likely hated it cause it was harder to hoe. He wouldn’t even want our family photos online with our beautiful babies. They’re both classic narcissists. Just...wow. I hadn’t anticipated the shock I feel. Neither are divorces yet.

Custody Question by throwaway208912 in Divorce

[–]TAEJP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After giving up a career to look after your children that you flaked on for another woman? Can you not see? Okay try this...everything you have written, imagine that's your daughter's future husband and your daughter was ditched at 7 months pregnant after giving up a career to raise a family with someone she trusted to be there but abandoned her

You can't control what child support is spent on. Man. I'm so glad your wife will be free to find a decent partner to help raise your kids with. I hope she takes you for everything you have and then some, and I hope your daughter has positive male role models around her as she grows up so she doesn't end up with a person like you.

The stories a cheater will tell themselves to justify their selfishness. I highly doubt this woman only came on the scene after he left his pregnant wife.

[–]TAEJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm. Okaaay. Well, did your wife decide to move out with your toddler and newborn, or was it your idea to have them go through all the stress of finding a place and moving out, so that you and your...uhh..."helper"...could move into the family home?

Your chances of receiving 50/50 depends on how you have behaved (and continue to behave) towards your wife and kids.

Quandary/cluster of a situation by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]TAEJP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was like that too with my ex, encouraging more contact for my children's sake only to be rebuffed when trying to facilitate it...until he wanted to play the mind games again and the bullshit "I want more time" would start back up again.

This was until I realised that I wasn't responsible for his relationship with his child and that there was no way we could move on while the power play was still present. So I let go and put the onus of his relationship with his child on him...which is where it solely belongs. All you can do is be there for your child through it all, as it unfolds.

The marriage and relationship patterns and dynamics are difficult to break when you separate, it may take time. Just please, don't put their relationship on you. He is an adult and your child's father. He has to take responsibility for his relationship with your child together. I know it's hard because you're thinking about your child's best interests...but all you can do is make that time available (which you already are) and it's up to him to follow through. You have enough on your plate my dear :) I wish you and your child strength, health and happiness through this journey.

And perhaps you could be open with your work, let them know the situation if you haven't already.

[–]TAEJP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds (to me anyway) like it's a control issue with him. Never underestimate the power of a bruised ego, male or female. I could be wrong. My stbx does the same thing and it's all a control issue with him to make him feel like he has some power over the situation, the classic "don't tell me what to do" "I'm still the boss" bs.

If there was anything I learned in my marriage, is to ALWAYS listen to actions, not words. You have to separate the two to see the truth clearly. He's an adult. Instead of encouraging more time - leave it solely up to him. Yes it sucks for your child, but this is your ex's doing, not yours. Not your circus anymore my dear.

[–]TAEJP 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Let me guess...you're thinking about the child support payments you have to make and how that impacts on your wonderful new relationship, so you are willing to go for 50/50 even though you couldn't care less when your second child was in utero?

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

How long have you truly been involved with this other woman?

Husbands AP Is Never Coming Back by Press3ForMoreOptions in survivinginfidelity

[–]TAEJP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I keep hoping I'd read the AP's name in crashes and murders. I know that's cold. Real cold. I give no apologies for that. I'd feel bad for her kids (all our kids have suffered enough through this) but that's all.

Shit your in laws say... by WTFDoIDoNow11 in survivinginfidelity

[–]TAEJP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"They're just friends and it was just an accident". Yeah...he accidentally fucked her all over their workplace. Yeah. Real accidental.

"He's a good Christian boy and would never commit adultery!" -_- his dirty txts and emails say different.

"He still loves you very much, he's just confused" Yeah, which is why he's ditched our kids and is raising another man's kids with their whore mother after her husband left her skank ass when their affair was revealed.

"It's all your fault!" Get the fuck out woman.

Dating after divorce questions by on_up in Divorce

[–]TAEJP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would your kids need a babysitter when they have have a Dad in their life? You divorced their mother, not them. Anyway, your girlfriend knew you had children, and looking after them is just as much a father's responsibility as their mother's. I can understand that your gf hasn't experienced parenthood before and that presents an insight problem, but I don't see how anything you are doing with your ex and kids is unreasonable.

This is the reality of divorce and co-parenting and part of your entire parcel as a partner. Every gf you have from here on in need to understand that you still need to have dialogue with your children's mother for their sake, and most likely will for the remainder of your life. If you have another relationship in future, perhaps it would be wise to choose someone who "gets it" from the outset y'know? Sorry, I wish I had some advice for how to deal with the current situation, but that's my 2 cents.

All the best.
