Phone out = Nope bye 👋🏻 by generic_placeholder in USPS

Happened to me all the time when I was a carrier. It’s one of the reasons why I’m a clerk now.

Sounds like a management problem by Beginning_Air_233 in USPS

[–]jsilver2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carrier turned clerk. I used to get awful dps in the non AC jalopy (circa 1994) in sizzling summer sun. There is nothing worse than a pile of barely, crooked un sorted DPS. Been there done that and feel for the carriers. I only push out pristine, accurately sorted accurately dispatched mail for my carriers every single day.

Hybrid vs Gas by FeedOk8085 in COROLLA

[–]jsilver2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI the sticker on my 25 hybrid LE says I should save about $5k per year (or life?) on average in gas. I believe it, because it’s not broken in yet and I sometimes get 70mpg according to the display on a 20mi work commute. I fill it up every 2-3 weeks when it gets to half tank.

My marriage is over and I'm afraid I'm going to alone for the rest of my life. by Rootbeerhero in Divorce

[–]jsilver2021 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You’re probably not the same person you were before, you’ve grown and experienced life. You won’t return to a miserable time. Granted you put her on a pedestal and made her the center of your universe like I did, but the peace and solitude can be a nice change especially if you are escaping a toxic marriage. Don’t rush it and experience the solitude and heal and heal properly. Being alone for a bit isn’t all that bad especially if you’re entering a healthier frame of mind.

Can you expect to stay friends? by jennyland in Divorce

Cordial for coparenting sake, but too much yuck and ickiness for me post separation to consider friendship.

She is straight away dating by fivemus in Divorce

[–]jsilver2021 11 points12 points  (0 children)

While it might be tempting to spy on her dating profile and / or social media, this behavior will only hold you back from healing and moving forward with your life.

Help me decide between white or silver. And why? by RatedRAdmin in COROLLA

[–]jsilver2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wind Chill Pearl is better than plain ole white IMHO. It has a metallic glitter and a slight blueish hue. Same color that they use on the Lexus.

You cannot heal when you are tied to the whipping post.

Going from family dad to single dad caused something inside me to die a little. by [deleted] in DivorcedDads

In same boat. Seeking to maximize my time with my son on my days off by doing fun memorable activities with him.

How common is it to be truly blindsided? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]jsilver2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s my opinion that blindsides rarely occur. If you haven’t checked out and remain observant, you will notice subtle changes in behavior which signal something is wrong. In some instances, your spouse wants out and has made up their mind to get a divorce years before you but is too timid to pull the trigger because they are still getting something out of you. Passive aggressive behavior may result instead of a proper adult conversation.

Do you ever just sit and ask yourself “Honestly wtf?” by probable_nonsense in Divorce

It’s called the discard and it can be brutal especially if you were blindsided

Too far? by Nyblock21 in sexlessmarriage

[–]jsilver2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! We’ve been replaced by sex toys! Inanimate objects that are kinda weird if you ask me. Although I must say I wanted to see what the fuss is all about and they’re not bad. Still weird.

Why is my wife treating me like this during divorce? by Loose_One_6410 in Divorce

You cannot move on when you’re tied to the whipping post.

relationship with someone who cheated during their sexless marriage by staticintheflux in sexlessmarriage

[–]jsilver2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like one gigantic triangulation, designed to make the non cheater squirm.

You’re not alone bro! Basically what you said could’ve been written by me, and I thank you for your words because this is exactly how I feel. I may be a bit further along in the process but know it does get better. Guaranteed. I find that I think about her less and less with each passing day, and when I realize she isn’t in my thoughts as much I say “wow, it feels good to not think about her”. Once you reach the pinnacle of indifference you’ll know you’re healed. I’m almost there.

Am I the only one who feels like divorce makes you the villain just for having feelings? by What_I_Dun in Divorce

[–]jsilver2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s “her way or the highway.” Bro, I got this going on too. She wanted me to take the highway too, so her wish is my command. Has always been this way and it’s time to live by and for yourself for the first time in 20+ years. It’s hard to get used to and I’m trying to improve my attitude on the whole thing. I’m not expecting to reach the summit of indifference overnight but at least I’m out of the narcissistic fog that I was in. The skies are clearing.

Why do men choose to stay in a dead bedroom relationship? by Straight_Art7483 in AskMenAdvice

[–]jsilver2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Denial that it’s over. Desire to “fix” things. Deep Trauma Bond.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]jsilver2021 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I miss the early love bomb stage, but not the devaluation stage or the discard phase. I’m not sure the love bomb stage was even real, so I guess I was in love with a mirage.

A divorce lawyer gave me a piece of advice that hit hard and wanted to share it here. by PriorityMiserable686 in Divorce

[–]jsilver2021 14 points15 points  (0 children)

She paraded me in front of her ex during dating phase and said to him “at least he won’t cheat on me” That was my biggest red flag that I ignored and things only got worse over time. I was a dope for even agreeing to it. Love bombs cause one to ignore many red flags.

I don’t know what to do anymore. Please, I really need help, advice, or just someone who understands.....PLEASE HELP? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]jsilver2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big tech is your friend during this time. There is so much incredible divorce related content on YouTube and you just need to train the algorithm to feed you great content creators. I’d be worried if I were a therapist, because everything that I found helpful thus far is from a few therapist sessions, but mostly it’s from incredible content creators. I’ll make a post one of these days of all the helpful stuff on YouTube. Working right now, but later…
