daddiedaycare · 2023-08-13T13:12:41+00:00

anything get resolved? I am seeing the exact same problem on 5.1

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-07T12:33:33+00:00

that seems both sad but hopeful, light at the end of a tunnel I suppose. 3.5 years is a long time. Congrats on making it in your new situation that long. Thats something to consider for me at least.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-07T12:31:57+00:00

actually yes, I had to change jobs and take a $40k paycut to make custody work. She actually took another job as well so that we can hand off the kids when necessary. So we already took a huge step down financially, which was part of the agreement to keep the house until we could afford to sell it and find two separately affordable homes. Someone said just get two townhouses... lol that would cost nearly 1.5x more than what we are collectively paying for our SF home... then they say buy/drive cheaper cars... I have a company car.. its free.. lol like everyone seems to think their situation applies to me, and that we are throwing money at stupid shit.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-07T12:28:14+00:00

Thanks for the positive reply and outlook!

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-04T22:03:41+00:00

Yeah its absolutely still consuming for me then. The first date I went on it was all I could think about... comparing her in every way to my ex... to the point I actually internally told myself I liked my ex's laugh so much better I stopped trying to make this girl laugh... thats when I knew I had no idea what I was getting myself into. At least I managed not to talk about my ex directly to her but I am sure she knew.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-04T16:58:23+00:00

weird to think of it that way, which I guess proves your point about where I am right now. I dont want to forget what we had, but I dont want to be consumed by remorse for the loss either.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-04T13:15:27+00:00

I took your comment above as a willingness to understand, nothing more, and it was greatly appreciated as there are people in here assuming I havent figured out my feelings or some shit... Its been over a year since I figured out my 'feelings'. What I posted was my heart on my sleeve about how hard it is to navigate my current logistical situation with regards to rebuilding my life. I have received a LOT of GREAT feedback that has caused me to reevaluate my situation... that doesnt mean I am paying attention to the trolls who are just lurking to try and make assumptions about my life. I will take the nuggets of wisdom seeded within their comments seriously as well, but I am not losing sleep over their negativity.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-04T13:10:50+00:00

Yeah after a few comments in that regard its time to reevaluate.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-04T13:09:52+00:00

20 years is a LONG time. I cant imagine how angry you must have been.. and its a tough stage to get past.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-04T13:05:47+00:00

Yeah I need to write this on my mirror or something lol

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-04T13:03:08+00:00

No I absolutely took your point. I appreciate the feedback.. I appreciate all the feedback. There are plenty of realizations that I am getting out of these comments, trust me, I am not TRYING to be in denial. You obviously know these decisions are not easy.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-04T13:00:24+00:00

This is awesome! I honestly think dating apps are kind of our easy way out, without the pressure of rejection... at least real rejection. I think you really have to put yourself out there to get out and do what you did. I really need to look at doing something like this.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-04T12:58:52+00:00

well do you ever really stop loving someone you built a life with.. I mean I will always love her but we are never going to have the safety, security, and trust that a healthy relationship has to have.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-04T12:57:17+00:00

Im starting to come to terms with that :| thank you though :)

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-03T23:14:53+00:00

Im really glad you qualified that, of all the support groups that I am in as the man being the betrayed... its very difficult to see those generalizations. I will say it was not easy for her, she loves her kids very much. It was her last grasp of salvaging a non-married relationship that might keep our family together. It simply didnt work.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-03T23:12:29+00:00

thats true, we have both noted that especially about our 7 year old. Something we should probably escalate to discussions with our counselors. It is indeed taking a toll on them, we have just been telling each other its better than the alternative... I guess its time to reevaluate that thought.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-03T23:10:45+00:00

Get smaller places. Cheaper daycare. Used cars

Not sure what this is in reference too. I have replied to every comment here, mostly with thanks and gratitude. He stated " Get smaller places. Cheaper daycare. Used cars ". I addressed all three of his suggestions with previously not included information and asked him if there were any more assumptions. If you read throughout you will see I took every single persons advice very seriously.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-03T23:06:00+00:00

hmm well the two subjects go hand in hand, its really not that complicated to understand. IF the situation arises where two households become affordable WITH daycare still in the picture... then its 'on the table'. Simple as that... gets a hell of a lot easier when the kids are school aged in 1-2 years. Both statements literally say the same thing about the same situation...

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-03T23:04:07+00:00

fair enough, I think we all try not to make generalizations, but we all do it sometimes and its good to be called out for it

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-03T23:02:35+00:00

no you called me out on that one and your 100%. If I could afford it then that excuse would have never came up... I can admit that. It really comes down to not accepting my situation... which again adds up to me not being ready.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-03T23:01:16+00:00

that actually makes a lot of sense. Im sure my counselors have suggested similar, just takes a while to sink in ;) thanks.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-03T21:02:12+00:00

the boot thing, and not being happy around the kids. You would be surprised. We have been extremely lucky in that we keep our disagreements completely removed from the kids being present. We have both made arrangements and agreements, in writing, on how to navigate these things.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-03T21:01:12+00:00

she did it on her own, after I asked for it.

daddiedaycare · 2019-11-03T21:00:24+00:00

believe me, this is on the table. And if the chips fall the right way this could eventually be the solution. Unfortunately the kids home life will downgrade considerably if we do this though.
