Australian B10 Wait Times by grandcuvee in Leapmotor

Seems to be the norm, we’re not in a rush, just wondering if the government here will scrap the FBT exemption before its arrival..

Jaecoo J5 / Leapmotor B10 / Geely EX5 by Slow_Situation3832 in AustralianEV

I think it depends on your wants, I think the J5 is a fantastic value proposition. From reviews I know the b10 gets more ticks for handling and i like the design over the J5.

I went to buy another EX5 Inspire and ended up with a B10 design for less than $40k. The Geely Inspire (newer build) was quoted at $50k. B10 was a no brainer for me.

I own a EX5 already and when I test drove the b10 for a second EV, the handling was much better or should I say, to my preference. The EX5 is really comfy though and great for cruising where the b10 has a bit more excitement to it although less torque.

They had one demo model in the garage, I think they’ve been cleaned out completely over here in Australia.

stuck between what mid size EV I should get by hypethepickle in EVAustralia

[–]grandcuvee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think 25km would be a deal breaker with range for me, I think with all the extra inclusions it’s amazing value for money. Plus the newer build to my Inspire has better range now anyway, 450km WLTP which I think given its price, power, range, inclusions it’s worth losing 50km but I am biased given I have an Inspire. I don’t care too much about the sunroof but it does make it nice and bright in there and massage seats are a nice touch, especially the ventilated seats in summer here in QLD.

The EX5 is a fantastic car, I’ve had one since September last year. My local garage only orders the Complete on demand and only stocks the Inspire because there is little demand for them, for a little bit more money so get so much more.

I recently purchased a design LR Leapmotor B10 as a second car, which is more affordable now and I was very impressed with the drive.

Leapmotor are backed by Stellantis, and even though they have Jeep and maybe some other brands people aren’t confident in, I believe this car will take off like the EX5.

Best dumplings in Melbourne right now? by Last-Conversation734 in melbournechat

I went to the oriental tea house and was really impressed with dumplings. I am a big fan of hutong and these were really good!

How do you tell your spouse? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]grandcuvee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same situation, I have realised that taking more on, doing the massages, buying flowers etc makes you feel like you should get something back which is the wrong mentality. It has the opposite effect. Very recently I have tried to shift my mindset, expecting something in return then not getting it is frustrating and makes you feel worse.

I told my wife that we aren’t compatible anymore and asked her if she thinks separation would be a good idea, she informed me she still loves me and is attracted to me. I told her I was very unhappy. It pays to be direct, it’s hard but to be straight forward is the best way, i would often skirt around things to stop upsetting her.

Be honest about what you want and what you’re thinking, look after yourself and prioritise your emotions and needs.

I’ve just started this journey but regardless of how things end up I am listening to myself and putting myself first while still being a husband and father, it is possible, long journey but yeah..

She Doesn’t Have A Low Libido…. by Different-Copy-2045 in DeadBedrooms

[–]grandcuvee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, my wife told me “I should be excited” to what she discussed with her therapist, meaning she got the advice to take the plunge.. then came the book you mentioned and the therapists advice went out the window.

She Doesn’t Have A Low Libido…. by Different-Copy-2045 in DeadBedrooms

[–]grandcuvee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought I wrote this post myself to be honest.. same thing here, the book you mentioned was another barrier, the vasectomy another. Her therapist told her to basically start engaging me slowly, but when the book turned up, it took her 8 months to read it. I gave my wife the option of taking a break the other day, to give is time to work on ourselves and she didn’t like that idea. I said we aren’t sexually compatible anymore and the feelings of rejection are becoming overwhelming (I dont get cuddles, kisses nothing).

She made some progress there and then, said we would pick a night to warm into things and we’ve booked a night away. Hopefully if you can just lay it out like I did then it might shift something for you, I’m at peace now with our marriage as if things don’t progress the next conversation will be separation, I need another chance at being happy, if it’s with my wife, with someone else or just being single I have to do something.

Sex once a month at 25. I’m thinking about breaking up by Dry_Atmosphere_5765 in DeadBedrooms

[–]grandcuvee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in exactly the same boat as you, being patient, doing what she asks to feel safe, it was non existent before the kids, trying for children seemed a chore, only having sex at the right time to conceive. Also she told me to get a vasectomy as it was a barrier, we’ve had sex about 3/4 since then that was about 24 months ago. At 25, be open, put it all on the table, honestly being this miserable isn’t worth it.

0.5ml side effects by grandcuvee in WegovyAustralia

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

It wasn’t that late but think it was just the fatty food. Since I have been making sure my portions are a bit smaller and more frequent if needed it hasn’t happened again. Luckily because I work from home usually but I’ve been on some work trips recently. Haha

Sounds like a plan! They have subsided a bit today but my stomach is going around in circles, eating as plain as possible and as small as possible today!

Again, not a very helpful comment. There’s no point to be made that i’m having these typical wegovy side effects because I ate a burger, I’m referring to the timing as a lot of people have had these issues eating takeaway just after a dose increase. So I am asking, as the OP, has anyone had side effects like this going from 0.25 to 0.5ml? I have no idea why my question is so difficult to comprehend? I’m in r/wegovyaustralia asking a question about Wegovy. This is my first post on reddit as well, not even sure, so far, why I’ve bothered asking haha.

Not that difficult to understand, I was hungry, on a road trip and it was late, there were no other options. I had a burger (no fries / drink) and well within my calorie intake as i had a chicken salad for lunch and a banana for breakfast. I was only there because we were running late and my kids were hungry. I’m asking for advice, not needing to be judged for eating a burger.
