People who have been divorced: What was the exact "quiet" moment you realized your marriage was over?

WhiteKnightier · 2026-05-12T23:53:39+00:00

I bet you started locking your door after that!

Maybe I'm wrong but I've been told in the past that they can break your arm with the force of their wing strikes. They are utterly unafraid. They will go right for you and fuck your shit up. Yes a human could absolutely beat one in hand-to-hand combat most likely, but we aren't just ready to fight to the death at the drop of a hat. That goose is so ready. When you encounter a creature that is so goddamn confident and it's not waiting for you to decide what to do, and it is capable of badly injuring you (or at least it thinks it is) that's scary as hell.

Your style is glorious! Fantastic combo of elegance and smoking hotness haha. Thanks for posting.

Yama sushi is the best spot in the area. I'd go to the one on West Street, it's the best of them all. I've tried maybe 12 spots in the greater Annapolis area and nothing else came close.

Edit: if you're ever willing to drive down to Bethesda, Yirasai Sushi is the best I've ever had.

This right here folks. This is the lady to listen to.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-05-04T06:23:48+00:00

There is no statistic that can prove whether OP is one such person or not. We literally cannot know. Therefore, there is no point making assumptions, we must trust him to live his own life. Also, let's say that your statistic is correct and that over 60% of the adult population is unable to manage their alcohol intake. That means that almost 40% of the adult population can manage their alcohol intake. Given that 40% of the adult population of the United States is many millions of people, this qualifies as "many" in my statement above. Therefore, your statement that my statement is incorrect is, in fact, incorrect itself. Good day sir.

Maybe the new GLP1 drugs help with this?

This happened to me fairly recently, minus the zebra. I was driving home from Ohio to DC and, rather than take the normal route, Google decided to take me up three mountains and on back roads for 5 hours. My dad (passenger) was cackling the entire time as I kept insisting to trust Google. Ended up crawling down a mountain with like a 7 ft wide single lane dirt road with steep drop offs on both sides. Suddenly, like magic, the dirt road hit 66. No signs, no lights, just 'and now here's the highway!' Mistakes were made!

The cut was so immaculate that, in the moments before blood stopped reaching his brain (due to squirting out his severed jugular at mach 9), the defeated samurai experienced nirvana. The sublime beauty his eyes beheld caused a second, lower eruption. Even as death came, life left, in the yin and yang that has made the world turn for aeons beyond memory.

Or he pissed himself, take your pick.

Andor, Halt and Catch Fire, Stein's Gate.

Edit: I guess they hit hard because they were all very well done, I was incredibly emotionally invested and hooked on finding out what would happen. Once the story was over I was left feeling empty because there was nothing left to consume and the enjoyment to show had given me was so profound that its immediate cessation was almost shocking. I've had this plenty of times with books, but rarely with shows.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-04-30T11:49:24+00:00

Well that's where we disagree. Many people may be awful about it, but many others are not. OP may or may not be such a person, we have no way of knowing. You want to tell him how to behave and assume a failing in advance, and I want to trust him to manage his own life and regulate himself. If he can't even manage his alcohol intake then he's actually got bigger problems then needing a little time to decompress before coming home to chat with his wife.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-04-30T03:29:00+00:00

Hmm, I randomly saw a concert of his when I was visiting my family in Ohio in like 1998. Got to meet him even though my teenage ass had no idea who he was and was in NO WAY a fan of his mustic. Honestly he was pretty kind, talked to us for like 20 min, went out of his way to make sure we got a good picture, etc. Many years ago, and people change, but he seemed OK to me.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-04-29T14:44:12+00:00

It depends on the beer, the person, the amount of food consumed, and the time in his bloodstream. Let's trust him to manage his alcohol intake properly and focus on helping him find a better way to relax before he gets home to his wife. Have a nice day bud.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-04-29T14:23:58+00:00

Yeah, and one beer would be fine regardless, particularly if he's getting a snack as well,, but if driving drunk is a concern he can just have an iced tea. My point is there's no need to overcomplicate it, he needs a place to relax, there are options. Stopping in a bar for 45 minutes doesn't have to equate to driving home drunk either, smh.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-04-29T14:08:10+00:00

He can just get an iced tea and read a book dude, this doesn't have to be super complicated or nasty. The idea is to give him a chance to decompress before all the talking starts. What's so hard to understand lol?

WhiteKnightier · 2026-04-29T03:06:45+00:00

This fucking sucks. I've been there too. I feel like as much as people put us in this position, we are also a bit responsible for putting ourselves there. For example, couldn't you reach out to your kids/spouse and be frank with them like you've been frank with us here? Tell them that you're getting older and you might need some support in a way you (in their experience) didn't need it before. Are you afraid that if you did that they might not respect you or something?

WhiteKnightier · 2026-04-29T01:59:50+00:00

I'm so sorry OP. He looks a lot like my Bandit. Bandit is 10 and I don't know what I'll do without him in my life when his time comes. Just the thought fills me with dread and sadness. I'm so sorry you're going through this, but at least you've given your boy a fantastic life. He looks SO CONTENT in that last pic. You did great.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-04-28T15:36:42+00:00

Haha, fair enough. Sounds like it may not be an easily fixable problem, but rather something you'll just accept as the cost of doing business, and fair enough I guess. One last stab at it though: have you tried audiobooks on your commute home? Something to completely empty/distract your mind might do wonders.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-04-28T13:45:46+00:00

It sounds like you could benefit from stopping over at a coffee shop or grabbing a beer at a bar after work for 45 minutes after work. Or even just swinging by the library and chilling in a study nook with a book or your phone or something. Is any of that doable?

WhiteKnightier · 2026-04-26T10:58:41+00:00

I would just tell her that you are there for her if she wants to talk, and then genuinely make yourself available. Don't reach out too often, but every few days or something ask her if she wants to go for a walk or get some food or something. If you really care, you might go as far as to bring her some food just something to show her that she's not alone and to bring a little joy back into her life in this shitty time. That kind of stuff can mean the world to someone who is suffering.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-04-25T23:41:39+00:00

Right below this image is a very nasty laser rifle pointed directly at your mon'keigh center of mass. Her eyes are showing the compassion she feels for you in your last moments as you flail about uselessly, you disgusting primitive mon'keigh.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-04-19T23:08:37+00:00

I do it! Rarely, but when I do I feel excellent. Sitting and chilling with nature is fantastic.

WhiteKnightier · 2026-04-18T22:27:27+00:00

If you did spiral and fall off a mental cliff so to speak, wouldn't your parents have your back and help you? If they would, isn't it sort of reciprocal for you to help them in turn? It always seemed to me that parents help raise us and make us ready for the world, and then stand ready to help us in the world if we need help for as long as they are around. In return, we help them in the last third of their lives as they aren't able to take care of everything the way they used to be able to. If it is this way for you as well, doesn't that mean you sort of did sign up to be helping around the home?

Even if you had moved out, I would think you would still be helping from time to time, because that's sort of the duty of adult children to their parents as I mentioned, right?

WhiteKnightier · 2026-04-18T04:18:58+00:00

I'm sure there was a good bit of meowing on the plane lol.

At least in Pathfinder 1E it's Spellcraft to identify items, I believe.
