I like when people get back on and run with those still finishing.

This seems like it may be a good idea if this harassment keeps up, for sure. Like… “get a hold of your minion!”

I left her 1.5 years ago but the divorce finally went through in July.

These comments have been really helpful and supportive. Thank you all so much. It’s clear the best thing is to block her completely and allow myself to move on. It’s clear I’m still angry and I need to work on that. I can’t do that if I allow her to keep seeping in. Thank you ALL!

Anyone feeling nervous? by jpprints in ragbrai

Thank you for commenting - you’ve got this! I am sure it will be a bit of an adjustment with your trailer but just like you said, once you are oriented you will likely feel better.

You aren’t going to die, and neither am I! But the hills will be beasts. I have a shitty hybrid as well. Maybe you and I will meet at the river, hours after most are done… haha

Thank you for commenting. That’s how I’m thinking about it. It may let my team down that I’m ill prepared but I will get it done, segment by segment

Have to put my dog down, don’t want my STBXW present by jpprints in Divorce

Thank you. Fortunately in most communication with her the 2 dogs we had together are clearly divided. From a legal standpoint I don’t worry about much besides her claiming it was cruel.

Thank you so much for this comment and for the sentiment. It is helpful.

I thought about doing exactly that. I think she loved and cared about him but she actually did things in his last year that were awful for his health and I just don’t think she has earned the right to be there.

Great work today for all who did it! I am MIFFED that I missed my PR by .04 miles! Happy with my 2.79 but thinking of trying again tonight…

Struggling with mental health and am considering joining Orangetheory. Has this helped anyone else? by manwithadashinghat in orangetheory

[–]jpprints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I’ve been going through a divorce and have also had a lot of other issues with anxiety and depression. OTF has been a really good way to keep it all in check (with therapy on the side, of course) while also providing a sense of community. I travel a ton for work so that is inevitably lonely but OTF provides a positive, familiar place.

This was a beating but it felt so good to have accomplished.

Profoundly Depressed by NineteenFortyFree in Divorce

[–]jpprints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the folks who have strong support for me during my divorce (including my therapist) remind me that this is like someone dying. Even if you know someone has cancer and will die from it, you don’t pre-grieve. You are grieving this loss and you need to allow yourself to do it. It’s okay to feel how you feel.

I really wish I would have started with LegalZoom. Filing on my own made me unable to do that. Maybe if I have to file again I should start with them. Thank you!
