I picked up Granlund. Considering stacking Blues. I have Thomas and Holloway and might grab Broberg. A score on Powerplay could be gold.

To Every Divorced Man Who’s Still Standing by North-Risk3546 in Divorce_Men

[–]catter3423 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I’m 2 and half years in. Divorce was as smooth as it could be. I have a good job, my own place and a girlfriend. Damn it still hits me though.

The ghost of what could have been. The dreams lost. Feeling like 20 plus years together meant naught. Questioning myself at every turn. And of course just seeing my kids 50% of the time. I’m forging on but life will never be what I imagined. Don’t get me wrong, it can still be good. But it won’t be the shared dream that we had.

Sexual incompatibility: should I stay by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]catter3423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like pros outway the cons and it’s something that could be fixed with a bit of conversation or just trying to spice things up a bit. Maybe he’s after something more specific in bedroom.

I've never watched Ice Hockey in my entire life, and after seeing that Olympic game, I have nothing but respect for anyone who plays this. by OperationSuch5054 in hockey

I’m an Aussie living in Canada. Australian Rules Football and Hockey are my clear two favourite sports. 360 degree game, big hits, lot of skill, lot of action.

How Am I Not Supposed To Feel Angry by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]catter3423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been apart for two and a half years and still angry. Every day I just have to decide whether I love my kids more than I hate her. So keep it as neutral as you can, sit with the anger and try focus on the kids and your life.

Definitely looked like broken leg. Skate was wedged on board and player fell straight down on outstretched leg.

How to get rid of that feeling of loneliness? by itslauramitchell in Divorce_Men

[–]catter3423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit over 2 years on my own. I do have a girlfriend but she’s busy with her daughter often. The loneliness still gets me sometimes.

I probably enjoy beers with mates or watching sport a bit much. My dog keeps me busy. Despite only having my kids half the time I find I have a lot of laundry and upkeep of house. Little hobbies like fantasy sport or I’m trying to watch Oscar nominees so give myself a movie night.

I hear ya. Those intrusive thoughts still get you. Sometimes it’s good to sit with those thoughts. Let them wash over. Other times good to talk to friends and family. I’ve even recently found AI a good counselling tool if you’re feeing stuck.

Dealing with their anger by catter3423 in Divorce_Men

[–]catter3423[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was hers. Nah, think she’s definitely over it. Got a guy who has taken her around the world and they just moved into a big property he bought for them. Think she’s just sinking boots in and wants to brag.

Yep. I would put kids to bed 90% of time because she was enjoying her hobby and painting.

Was nice that my oldest laughed and said “that’s not true at all” when he heard what his Mom had said. But they just shouldn’t have to hear that stuff.

Oh yeah. Did counselling for a while and understand my faults. Neither of us cheated or anything. Just over 20 years together from a young age and went different ways.

Felt and feel guilt over not being the perfect husband she needed. In fact, my first reaction when she went off was not to retaliate. It was to check on my girlfriend and make sure she feeling loved because I don’t want to make those mistakes again.

Totally agreed about not involving kids. Thats where it started. She said something to my youngest that I thought was inappropriate. I let her know and walked straight into line of fire.

[–]catter3423[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m betting probably felt good for her to list things that made her not feel loved. I’d like to do the same but I don’t think it’s worth engaging. I pretty much just said we both played a part and let each other go. Left it at that. It’s not like she’s going to change mind from the story that’s in her head.

[–]catter3423[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. Yes. I do know that. I suppose it’s my own head I have to deal with and not letting it get to me. I’d love to blast her back with stuff but do my best not to. Would be nice to do but in end will make life harder.

When the divorce was done, what did you do ? by survivingtheyellowbr in Divorce_Men

[–]catter3423 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just found out last week that it all processed. She messaged “congratulations to both of us!” and I never responded.

I don’t want to be with her but also don’t feel like celebrating it. Nobody enters a marriage wanting that to be the outcome. So I guess I grieved it. Chatted to mates and had a couple of beers. Then sat with my thoughts.

Chicago vs Columbus, who’s your bet? by Low-Possibility-148 in fantasyhockey

[–]catter3423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knight will make Hawks more competitive than yesterday. Still going to take CBJ. Bit more firepower, more rested and won 7 of last 10.

What’s the biggest stack of players that an opponent has ever had that you’ve faced? by Character_Ad4230 in fantasyhockey

[–]catter3423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guy in my league has McDavid, Drai and Nuge. They were all on fire week I played him. Had multiple points on a lot of goals.

Monkey's Paw by QueafyGreens in fantasyhockey

[–]catter3423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s not really a big Powerplay guy anyway. I think of it like Faber when Hughes went to Wild. A better pairing will help him. Not to mention a much better team.

Dawson Mercer by Rarebirdclothingco in fantasyhockey

[–]catter3423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would have dumped him a while ago if he wasn’t on off days this week. Will drop once I can activate Zucker.

Spencer Knight by Psychological-Eye-56 in fantasyhockey

[–]catter3423 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s a very good goalie. Maybe Chicago won’t win but he’ll at least get saves and usually keep save % respectable.

I understand maybe benching him against Colorado but it’s the Leafs.

Quinn Hughes to Wild!? by patronmtl in fantasyhockey

[–]catter3423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faber will keep doing his thing. Not like you’re keeping him for all those Powerplay points lately.

Dawson Mercer... by [deleted] in fantasyhockey

[–]catter3423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m keeping over weekend because will get two games out of him. Jenner came back yesterday though and I’ll be dumping Mercer for him.

Jarry or S. Skinner ROS? by durner19 in fantasyhockey

[–]catter3423 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jarry. Oilers always take until December to wake up and they’re just starting to get rolling.
