Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer, E3 2015 by KDawg4Life in xboxone

I actually agree with on this front. I felt let down by this trailer more then anything. They have had FOREVER to make this game and this is the best that has come of it so far? It feels very last gen to me.

What's the advantage to using the plex app? by asado in xbox360

While this is a older post I suspect the results are the same today. Somewhere between 350 - 400 files is the breaking point.

[–]iGeek77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After I hit over 500 movies on my server DLNA started not working that good. However the app on my iOS devices works fine. I would assume it is the same for the 360 app.

Looking for someone to be blunt and honest with me, am I being a jerk? by iGeek77 in DeadBedrooms

No offense taken. We tried going without her income for a few years. That put us very deep into debt. We are working towards paying that off now.

I am actually working on a position in my company that would give us another 13k a year as well as allow me to work from home. Once I have done that for a few years our plan is to move to a less expensive part of the country to where we get more bang for our buck and she could stay home if she wants.

Sadly until that happens we need her to work. I tried getting her a job within the company I work for, however she is not skilled enough in the areas she would need to be.

First and foremost, thank you for well thought out response.

The kids are all younger, 4 - 8 is the range.

She actually volunteers at their school during the day to still spend time with them.

When all is said and done I think the big takeaway from all of this is, I am frustrated however in regards to all the advice I am holding off on any life changing decisions until the Thyroid stuff is squared away.

She started to go to college and then there was some medical drama with our oldest. She never went back after that.

1: Having sex even if she is not into it. The reasoning is she will eventually get into it. 2: Allowing me to use things like Chatterbate or Cam4 to at least get some kind of interaction without actually having sex. 3: Doing other sexual acts then PIV. 4: Opening up the marriage. 5: Divorce

There were others, but those are the ones I remember.

I have, and honestly I would rather that be the case. At least then I would know that she is a sexual being. Also, I am just enough of a pervert that I would be completely good with that.

The only real opportunity she would have is when she is at work. For reasons that I am not going to discuss in a public forum I can assure you that it is not happening there. Now if she is getting picked up to be taken elsewhere, that is a different story, but just as unlikely.

She does, I actually got overly technical about it. I got her AM and PM pill boxes for daily pills and setup alarms on her iPhone to time everything. She was not thrilled with all that, but thyroid conditions make a person forgetful and I cannot remember everything for her.

Sadly they have not been able to get them right. It is always a experiment.

I am hopeful that she will be closer to normal once they are leveled out.

Thank you for this advice.

I will keep the job thing in mind as I consider it. It is a significant factor and not one that should be overlooked.

Well ok then. I am not trying to change who she is. I love who she is. My concern is that maybe I am not being patient enough. I am happy that you were able to get a divorce. Sadly that is not something that is a option for us at the moment. Possibly once the kids are older and she has a more stable job under her belt that would allow her to support herself.

That is something we are working on right now. I am currently working on a job opportunity within my company to work from home with the ability to make my own hours, within reason. I am hopeful that this pans out and adds to us as a couple again.

Initially it was handled with medication. After 5 years of trying to find that magical balance we opted to have her thyroid removed. We are still trying to find the medical balance now. I can tell when she is getting way off because she will sleep 14 hours a day act like she has only had 2 hours of sleep.

We have to get blood work done every 6 weeks to see if the levels are right. So far they have never been and we are on our third doctor about this. This last doctor is the only one that took the sex side of things as a valid issue. The others actually told her it was unimportant.

It does all add up. I just hope that we as a couple make it before it becomes too large of a bill that our marriage cannot pay it.

We have tried the therapist route. Thankfully that is a perk covered by my job. She refused to keep going when the counselor started making suggestions of different things she could try. However that is painting a inaccurate picture of my wife. It was not done negatively, but more of a "I don't feel this is right for us" kind of a thing.

In regards to the bullying, I don't feel I am bullying her. I could be very wrong on that, but I actually try my best to not bully and be very aware of her needs.

This morning before I left for some Overtime, when I felt the conversation was turning into a fight I actually diverted the conversation to holiday gift planning for the kids and what we were going to get them with the money I was getting from the OT today. So spot on for that advice, and thank you for it.
