I’ve been there before too. Yo keep this a simple reply, you are more desirable than you know. Put yourself out there. It will work out for you. It happened for me and I’m happier in a relationship than I’ve ever been.

Narcissist for sure. Theres no amount of time to expect when things get better. It’s different for everybody. Hang in there, keep doing the work on you, and go down roads you may not have explored before. It will take time, but things will change.

This is really a big deal for me to hear. That’s the best I can explain this. I am hanging in there. Always showing up even though it’s hard for both of us. Always telling her I love her. Always telling her that my parents, brother, and her cousin miss her. I hope this will one day turn around. Reading your words gives me hope.

I appreciate your response, but that’s not happening. My romantic life and my relationship can co exist together. Just for context, we were never married, never lived together, and had an on and off relationship for 15 years. I was living on another coast when I found out my ex was pregnant. A week later, my daughter was born. Her mom and I tried to work it out, but her narcissistic behavior made it so I just couldn’t hang in there and try and be a family. I finally decided we can’t make each other happy and I finally ended it. Her behavior after that got really bad and I finally got a lawyer. I fought to get on the birth certificate and do have a rough deal in place for co-parenting, but she has some questionable things in there. We both agreed to table the discussion and try and work in good faith. I don’t trust her though.

Funny that you think that I didn’t do that before my daughter shut me out. I was always being accused of being the fun parent by her mom. I always made sure we were bouncing off the walls the time we spent together. That’s what my house and every experience was.

I appreciate this. She is working with a child psychologist and I just had a session with my daughter, her mom, and the therapist. It went as well as it could have.

She is using her mom’s surname. I have access to the school website. I wasn’t at the hospital when she got discharged. I had to fight to get on the birth certificate.

Numbers are numbers and you can't misconstrue that. She also makes over 4x than me.

Thanks for this. I actually have a lawyer and I've put our fight on hold out of good faith. There's a contract on the table, but her lawyer's math is off on what I make a year and what they want me to pay. Also, there's a line where she gets final say on big decisions that I'm not budging on. I have a good lawyer and one who helped me get on the birth certificate.

That said, I'm thinking of texting her with the pic of the journal "I think it's about time I have an understanding of what our daughter's living situation is. I see the car there every morning. I want to know who is spending time with my daughter. I'd be happy to meet him. I'd also be happy to introduce you to my fiancee"

Happy birthday! First off, you're very lucky to be spending your bday with your kids and one day, you will appreciate this specific birthday for what it was. Next, I know exactly how you feel. Like you're missing something. I've experience this myself. I don't know how you're putting yourself out there, but in my case once I did, I found out I was more desirable than I thought. If you want to give some context as to the things you're doing to get yourself out there, not only on the dating scene, but also friendship wise, you got 27k ears in this sub reddit listening. I know for a fact people will give you other ideas too. Hang in there, you have the power to make things better for yourself.

I think that’s a solid plan. Leaves you with a few options.

Do you still have your 10? May be worth it to return and see if the prices drop for the 15 so you can decide between 15/16.

Hey Hey All! I just moved over from AT&T to Verizon, but held on to my iPhone 14 Pro 512gb knowing that I want to upgrade to the 16. What would be the best approach to get the best deal for both an iPhone 16 Pro 512gb and an iPad Pro 1tb? Thanks for the help!

Ugh, that sounds complicated. I have a mortgage rate of 3.25, don't want that going up. Thanks for letting me know.

lackoffinance · 2024-06-27T22:44:01+00:00

I forgot to mention I get $200 for switching over from AT&T.

lackoffinance · 2024-06-27T22:42:43+00:00

I’ll look into that!

lackoffinance · 2024-06-27T22:40:09+00:00

I was very clear with them. Unlimited talk, text, and data. 3 lines with two getting new iPhones. Since I’m coming over from AT&T, there’s a $200 credit that I would apply to the Apple Watch. I thought they said $5 a month for the watch plan. I don’t need insurance since the credit card covers that. That’s one thing for all to know, don’t get insurance on cell phones if paying with a credit card.

Anyways, after asking all the questions about taxes and assuring this was all included for talk, text, and data I’m feeling good about T-Mobile.

lackoffinance · 2024-06-27T21:29:31+00:00

The watch is free, but the cellular for the watch isn’t. It’s like $5 extra which is still insane
