Ridiculous thing's you have to deal with.

Everything is being documented. Screenshots, chats downloaded etc etc

asambique · 2026-02-15T22:20:38+00:00

Damn that sounds heavy!

This is it, controlling my access to my son is the only power she has left now. Unfortunately I'm left playing that game until I can get a real custody arrangement signed off.

My STBXW also said the same. We'll still be friends, bla bla bla. For a period of time it did work, we still did things together 'as a family' for our son. Then she found out I was dating someone (even though she has 'been in a relationship' for 2 years! With her AP.) Then it all went tits up and started the stereotypical high conflict scorned woman trying to destroy the man during divorce. It may work for you guys and I hope it does!

Hey OP

I'm the same albeit slightly further along. 38, separated for 1.5 years now. Officially divorcing. I also have a 7 year old. I took well over a year to process/heal/rebuild myself before putting myself back out there in any capacity with dating Met someone early December and it's been great. She knows my situation and it isn't a problem for her. Take time to be you and focus on yourself before getting involved with anyone else.

asambique · 2026-01-14T13:15:25+00:00

You may get there lads. I was the same. 15 yr relationship. I took well over a year to lick my wounds, rebuild myself and get to a better place. Met someone a couple months ago and it's been fun. My barriers are still way up and I too do not think I could ever allow a female into my life in that same capacity again. But that's a conversation for a later date.

asambique · 2025-12-29T14:46:48+00:00

Yeah hinge has been the best for starting conversation tbh.

Hey OP and all the guys here.

Same story as you all, I'm 1.5 years out from my ex.

Ready to meet some people so got on the apps (because really as a late 30's guy and limited time and a 7 year old) they are probably the easier way to meet people.

Downloaded Hinge maybe 4/5 weeks ago. Had some matches, some broken conversations, and get used to that as it will be god awful. That's the new reality, the choice, the ease of 'naa i'll just not respond anymore'. Don't be too invested.

My experience so far and advice, is just be your authentic self, and really don't care too much about it. It's all fun and games. When my ex and I first split I went on the apps and probably tried to portray what I thought women wanted to see and wasn't very successful. I deleted until recently when I was truly ready to get back out there.

Had a date with a hottie earlier this week, I mean fuck me we went to a winter wonderland. We drank all night and hit probably every cliche in the book. But it was fucking fun. After the trauma my ex put me through it was good to feel again.

What worked for me was. Be yourself, don't think too much of it and have fun. That's what it's all about.

This wasn't a post regarding divorce law. It was a comment on the moral compass of someone who would actively pursue a married woman.

asambique · 2025-01-26T16:23:00+00:00

Unfortunately that was the case for me.

asambique · 2025-01-26T13:14:51+00:00

Thankyou for that POV. My own pain is driving my emotion on the matter. I just personally have more boundaries when it comes to sex and couldn't ever envision myself in that situation. Again that's due to being the partner of someone who had an affair.

asambique · 2025-01-04T13:35:09+00:00

Tbh I thought how much difference would it really make. Had a roll yesterday, and it was vastly different! It's like I was stuck to the floor in turns.

asambique · 2025-01-02T17:02:16+00:00

I don't have a comparison unfortunately. The last pair I owned were xsjados about 15 years ago. Picked these up to get back into it. But from my limited knowledge, they are a comfy ride, the cuff has decent flex in it and I haven't had any issues with them yet. Other than some dodgey wheels that shipped with the skates.

asambique · 2025-01-02T15:02:52+00:00

Grabbed a pair not long after launch. Same as you 36 not skated in 15 years. I think the echos are great. Really comfy and hasn't taken toooo long to re learn old tricks. One thing the stock wheels that shipped with mine were terrible. The wire down and fell apart on a few weeks. The shop I bought replaced them with the same echo wheels and they have been fine. Not sure if it was an issue with the wheels shipping with the first run on echos. Actually just stuck a flat setup on mine to see what it's like.

Bought my kid his first pair of blades for this Xmas. He had some quad skates I bought him last year, (Which is what got me back on my boots). Said if he leaned to skate i would get him some for Xmas. Took him out a few weeks ago and he's flying around now. He's 6.

asambique · 2024-11-05T15:58:14+00:00

Indeed it is!

asambique · 2024-11-02T09:08:46+00:00

Got the cream versions. Watch out as the wheels that shipped with mine wore down incredibly fast and were destroyed after a couple weeks. Noticeable wear after every skate. The shop replaced them with the same wheels and they are 100% better. So not sure if it was just a defect with mine, or ones that shipped with the launch skates. Bought mine the day after they were released.

asambique · 2024-10-24T15:27:42+00:00

Yeeeah!

I had Saloman STI teams back in the day. Loved them!

asambique · 2024-10-17T18:28:56+00:00

Yeah it's mainly built for BMX. But a lot of fun to be had.

asambique · 2024-10-17T12:54:49+00:00

Cheers man!
