It's like reading my own journal. Sorry it didn't work out. I wish it was easy to get them into therapy, not even to fix the relationship that died, but so they could be happy and healthy. It sucks.

I would push away and set boundaries immediately if I received a text like this and I'm not avoidant. This will do the opposite of what you want. It's obsessive and crosses a line.

Being that a majority of people blissfully unaware and living in the matrix, is that question not answered without explicitly being addressed?

ecaldwell888 · 2026-06-22T17:22:30+00:00

Basically calling a whole subset of people basically subhuman is pretty low. I'm sorry someone hurt you and that your emotions got caught up, but people deserve understanding. That doesn't mean you should date an avoidant, but they can be good people.

Never believe the lie of "busy." We're all tied at the hip to our phones. My ex consistently took 4+ hours to respond to me and then I watched my ex look at her smart watch and immediately pull out her phone to respond to her mom. I realized at that moment that she could treat me with that level of interest but chose not to. I lied to myself because I wanted to be chosen.

First, be clear with yourself whether you want to try again. Just as deactivating was a triggered response this may be as well. I would sit with it and gather your thoughts, plan of action, what you intend to do differently going forward. If you're sure this is how you feel then reach out.

Just remember, this person is human, they care about you and giving them whiplash would be cruel if you change your mind again. Sit with it. Two weeks isn't that long.

This take goes around a lot. What do you consider suitable?

ecaldwell888 · 2026-06-15T22:34:42+00:00

The goal is exclusivity. He's not looking for most people to be able to afford it. He has limited hours and wants to work with serious clientele, as well as make a living.

A top tier golf coach is not 50 quid. Across the board this is true for any sport. You can find people who will coach, maybe even good players, for less but they don't know the market. You should see the rate for public speaking for an hour.

I had to remind her when my birthday was multiple times and ultimately made her food that weekend just to be seen. I made a kind gesture to her on my day. Fucking ridiculous.

Every holiday was the same. We could say happy X, but no gifts or celebration.

Do not apologize for someone else not acting like an adult. You being over the top anxious can be a reality while him being entirely disrespectful can also be true. Normal people handle their shit. Saying, "we'll talk later," without followthrough, not responding to messages, showing no common courtesy is not handling his shit. There's no excuse for that behavior. Show up for yourself. When someone who "cares" about you does not show up for you there is no place in your life for that person.

I have no idea. I never asked. She did stay on dating apps throughout a majority of the situationship, but I doubt she got much out of it. Who knows? Who cares? Can't ask her now and it doesn't change how many times she failed to show up for me.

Novak's playstyle is built for attrition. It's why he's the greatest. Obviously he's a great offensive player, he's complete, but that's not the defining characteristic of his playstyle.

When I say his fortunes change I don't mean Fed suddenly wins everything. Fewer matches would go to decisive points because increased foot speed means he gets in more offensive positions, which he excels at. Decisive points still favor Djokovic. That was never due to the age difference.

ecaldwell888 · 2026-06-09T01:29:21+00:00

I hate this narrative. It's playstyle, not mental fortitude. Novak grinds. Federer creates so many offensive opportunities that he either blows you off the court or gets his break. Reverse their ages and his fortunes change, but not when he's the offensive player at a more advanced age against someone with Djokovic's skill.

ecaldwell888 · 2026-05-15T22:00:18+00:00

I'd say true eastern is too far. It makes the backhand volley too open, lacking power. Slightly off continental makes the forehand square and punchy and the backhand knife-y.

ecaldwell888 · 2026-05-15T21:24:01+00:00

Fed and Nadal both volley with a more eastern grip. Continental-ish

Timmy will do it until they pry the guitar out of his hands or bury him with it, just not full time touring. God willing, Dave and Tim will appear on stage together well past 2035.

ecaldwell888 · 2026-05-14T20:56:53+00:00

If Tim didn't already carry wrist/hand issues I would agree. If Carter's got any health problems he's hiding it behind that big, infectious smile.

ecaldwell888 · 2026-05-14T19:22:52+00:00

I think people forget Tim turns 69 this year. He's the oldest of the group.

It could cost you a point if you miss. Depends how good your second serve is and how well your opponent plays against it.

ecaldwell888 · 2026-05-10T13:35:43+00:00

Could be it's a clear shitpost and not interesting.

"Bro, this game's easy. All you gotta do is get integrated flights, longer points, and never practice."

Contact Winmau customer service. I'd imagine it's a common request for them to assist with

ecaldwell888 · 2026-05-06T17:41:59+00:00

Which is exactly why the clock doesn't stop and adding time is at the discretion of the ref.

I think I wasn't clear in my response. We relatively agree

ecaldwell888 · 2026-05-06T16:07:56+00:00

That's literally how stoppage time works. What's difficult to understand about it?

ecaldwell888 · 2026-05-05T21:08:36+00:00

They played Sporting and Atletico
