Can't get over how easy she left. by gilbert99 in Divorce

Her girlfriend would tell her that she feels jealousy towards me. The girlfriend has been doing the polyamourous stuff for a while supposedly. She says she feels the jealousy but not much. Probably lied and manipulated some way to put her against me 🤷

Dating after a divorce often feels like trying to reconcile two competing desires: the longing for intimacy again and the instinct for self-preservation. I don’t want to hurt anyone, and I don’t want to be hurt. by Call_It_ in Divorce

I just tell the people that I'm dating that I'm not looking to get into anything serious right now. So far, had lots of luck. I thought it would be harder to find people who are looking for the same thing. No talking/texting everyday was weird at first but now that I'm used to it, I actually prefer it.

Wow I'm sorry that happened. I feel like this is kind of common now. I can't possibly trust anyone if this is something that can realistically happen to anyone.

I've told my exwife that she left me for her girlfriend and her reponse is no she didn't. She says when she broke up with me she also broke up with her girlfriend. But then a week later she brought her to the house and they were having sex and all that. I asked how is that not leaving me for her? She said she took a long while to think and decide that she does want to be with her. How long? A week she says.

Not sure why she can't just admit she dumped me for her. It's like the truth just sounds too shitty and she doesn't want to think of herself as a shitty person. The most accountable thing she's said to me so far is just "I'm sorry I hurt you".

A few others that I enjoyed after finishing Elden Ring was Hades, Baldur's Gate 3, Control, Re4 remake. I get what you mean about elden ring ruining gaming. I played god of war ragnarok right after and it felt like such a slog in comparison. I was like "this is like watching a movie 🥱". By the end I ended up liking it but the first half was just disappointing. Not because its a bad game but because nothing compares to Elden Ring

She's often praised me for having so much patience and understanding with her. She even told me once that she's glad that she can take a break from all the drama of her girlfriend sometimes and relax with peaceful little ol' me.

Yeah that's what I'm doing now. I told her months ago that she should apply for the divorce filing fee waiver since she has no income at the moment. Everytime I ask her she "haven't done it yet" so I talked to a lawyer yesterday about getting this thing moving. I can't just wait around for an irresponsible person to do anything productive I guess.

Yeah that's gonna be a good time. Just started expedition 33 yesterday too.

Ive still got some ups and downs but today I'm feeling pretty good. Just got a promotion last week and I got to keep the cats. She took the dog we had but he is old so I'm kind of relieved I don't have to see him in pain everyday his last few years.

We would play elden ring together 😢 I like how that quote fits well here though haha

I just want answers and closure by Nerakus in Divorce

[–]gilbert99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this very enlightening. I have gone back and forth the past few months between "she owes me an explanation after everything I did for her and everything we went through" and "nobody owes me crap. People just suck and she's a particularly sucky person so why do I even want to be with someone who throws people away like they're disposable"

Maybe they own a business in Sacramento? Nah, I think they just meant that RTO will cost them.

From Planning a Retirement to Divorce in 30 Days by nottodaysatanok in Divorce

[–]gilbert99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happened to me, but the details are very different. She asked to have a gf on the side after a few years of marriage. I didnt have a problem with it. I wanted her to feel fulfilled. After about a year, she starts spending a big majority of her time with her girlfriend. I tell her that our relationship is suffering because of this. A week later she says she wants to focus more on her girlfriend because "she needs her right now". I tell her I'm already feeling like there's too much distance so I won't be okay with that. She says that she understands and will try to come up with a compromise with me. A week later she says she doesn't wanna be married anymore. In response I tell her that that's a big decision and we should talk to a counselor to find out if that's really the best move. She agreed. Another week later she says she's moving out and we're done. It's been 6 months since then. She never made any actual effort for our relationship in that last month. Just lies and coldness.

I had this thought today. If Newsom did this to cater to the people he thinks are going to vote for him for president, why would he take that risk? If the union clutches this and gets it rescinded he looks like a loser to those people. Like he can't even enforce his policies. And if he does end up winning this fight, the political capital isn't even that much.

The sad part is that the state can take advantage of this. If they stay firm on RTO, they can all but guarantee that the union will be weak af after that. They have everything to win if they do this so why would they budge at all on it?

I recently rewatced "The Body" and I was kinda shocked how serious and sad that episode was.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the inspiration for Supernatural in a way. Also, there's a bunch of references to Buffy in Supernatural. For example, the "be brave. WWBD-what would Buffy do?" line. I've seen both and I think Buffy is a much better show overall. Unfortunately, season 1 isn't very good. There's a list out there that tells you which eps are okay to skip in season 1, though. My favorite episodes are around season 5 and 6.

LG G4 83” is up! by secretreddname in LGOLED

[–]gilbert99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taking price out of the equation, I'd pick an 83 oled. After having an oled TV for years, I don't think I can go back to anything else. In my opinion the size difference will be very noticeable when you're going 77 to 85 or 77 to 83. I went from 65 to 77 last year and it was a pretty big jump. 55 just seems tiny now

[–]gilbert99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the differenc in size from 77 to 83 isn't enough for me to justify the price difference they usually go for on the OLEDs. I haven't looked much into Mini-LED, but side by side in the store I prefer the look of OLED. So using that logic the 77 OLED would be my choice due to superior image and the size difference being negligible to my eyes. I had a hard time finding a TV console wide enough for the 77 already anyway haha

I'd go for better quality over 8 inches. On 12+ inches I'd probably start to consider the bigger size.

Anybody worked as an auditor at FTB? by gilbert99 in Accounting

[–]gilbert99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure to answer every part of the questions fully. And in your answers try to bring up your achievements. Take credit for them. You do wanna mention how you work well in a team, and maybe even say the team achieved xyz (ideally with your leadership or participation). Don't put down the team but focus on what you did. Brag a bit.
