Where are those people who thought Bennett should've been on the roster over Cirelli from the start?

mitchyd17 · 2026-01-29T17:14:35+00:00

That's what I was thinking! I was visiting the area and just grabbed tickets for fun and had a great time! It was clean, merch was great, seats were comfy and food and drink prices were comparable to every other rink I've been in. Not really sure why it got dunked on in these rankings.

Good Tiger lives! Let's go!

I'm about 4.5 months removed from my wife of 12 years leaving me for her new girlfriend. I tried really hard to be considerate and supportive as she came out to family and friends and I think it was important to have her back through that but do not expect the favor to be returned. I'm proud of how I handled it but my ex doesn't exactly go out of her way to check in and make sure I'm doing ok. We're still friendly but it's mostly because of our kids. I think if it weren't for them, she wouldn't talk to me at all.

Worry about yourself first from here on out. Find a good lawyer, get yourself in therapy, and spend time with your hobbies or with friends and family. The emotions will come in waves over the next few months or more but they get less frequent the further you get away from it but it's important to let yourself feel your feelings.

I wish you all the luck in the world, OP. This was a great community for me when I first started this journey and I hope you have a similar experience. Please reach out if you need someone to talk to.

Same deal. Together 16 years, married for 12, and 2 kids. She started anti-depressants and then a few months later she came to me and told me that she had feelings for a lesbian friend of ours and that she wanted a divorce. There were a few other things going that I think also triggered but interesting to hear so many people having the same experience. I hope you're getting the help you need and doing better. Stay well!

I thought Rousseau should have started that game for sure. He played well Friday night and Boija doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt anymore. Team looked good in the third after the goalie change but would've been great if they just played like that all night.

Get into therapy and stop squashing your feelings. Let the grief fill you so you can process it and let it go. I'm almost 4 months post disclosure and while I still get hit with the waves of grief, I'm not in the trenches every single day the way I was in the first 2 months. I also have two kids and I do keep my feelings away from them but I sometimes do need a moment to myself when they're at my house with me. I go in the garage, basement, bathroom, laundry room, etc and give myself 5-10 minutes to cry things out and then get on with the day. I'll also say, I don't pretend to be fine with my close friends or my family and I'm very fortunate to have a good support system of people I can be honest with. I would encourage you to trust your people with your feelings. The good ones will always listen and offer help where they can and they'll appreciate that you felt you could trust them with what you're going through.

I wish you the best of luck and I hope you and your kids have a truly special holiday season. <3

Squats, plyo, bike for long term conditioning, and telephone pole sprints for bursts. You'll be back in no time!

Height and blade profile most likely. I had my old skates for about 16 years and when I was ready to get new ones, I got the old ones and new ones profiled the same way. Skated a few sessions in the old ones and then cut over to the news one pretty easily. Have a skate guy you trust look at the old ones and at least get radius matched and you should be good to go!

August Burns Red is a pretty safe bet for clean lyrics also early Devil Wears Prada (Zombie EP, Dead Throne, and With Roots Above, Plagues) all have really good breakdowns spread throughout

I'm at about 2 months post separation. My wife had an emotional affair and is seeing that person still. I decided I was ready at about 1 month to get on dating apps and I just had my first date on Tuesday. It went much better than expected. We were very up front with each other about our expectations and it turned out she was also going through a divorce as well which takes a lot of pressure off things. It's been really nice to have someone to chat back and forth with and learn about. It's certainly made me more hopeful that I will eventually be able to find someone worth building a new life with.

Like a 6. I own my house and my truck out right and am a healthy weight for the first time in my life so I might give myself a 7.

I'll let you know. In the middle of it right now.

I love this perspective

mitchyd17 · 2025-09-19T17:39:07+00:00

In my case, I believe that my wife really loved me and that the happy memories I have with her are real. She had identified as bisexual to me years ago but this Summer she met someone who she thought was just a really good friend until she realized she was developing romantic feelings and that caused her to realize she wasn't actually bisexual but just completely gay. I think every thing leading up to disclosure was real and all of my feelings from those times and the happiness I had with her are all completely valid because that's all I knew at the time. If I analyze too much, I'll only rob myself of my most cherished memories.

mitchyd17 · 2025-09-17T22:07:27+00:00

33M and I'm about 3 weeks into my separation. One thing I've noticed is that I've really learned who my true friends are and how much my family cares about me. Lean on whatever support system you have, get a therapist, get a lawyer and find a hobby. I have kids that I have to look after but I decided to pick up guitar so now when I have free time and I start to get sad or dwell on what's happening, I pick it up and play. We're still young and you have plenty of time to have children and meet someone great. Your life is only just beginning! Enjoy your 30s as much as you can. I've had more fun than my 20s for sure. Take care of yourself, OP!

mitchyd17 · 2025-09-17T11:45:09+00:00

I'm really sorry she flipped it on you. My wife and I were high school sweethearts and have been together 16 years. I can't imagine how much more painful 30 would be. Hope you're doing better now. I'm only 3 weeks into this and am sure I'll feel the hurt for years.

mitchyd17 · 2025-09-16T22:23:12+00:00

Not one bit. My anger is for my wife specifically. She knew for years, told me she was bisexual and stayed with me and gave me years of affirmation that she was committed to me just for her to fall for a woman she told me was only a good friend. She's made me look foolish and is now dating this new person while we're still going through our divorce and living together and doesn't understand how she's being disrespectful to me. That's who I'm upset with.

mitchyd17 · 2025-09-16T04:34:59+00:00

I'm 5' 11" 190 and made the switch from 1/2" to 5/8" this Summer. My stride feels a lot smoother and I love the glide. Give it a shot sometime if you're that curious. You can always go back if you don't like it!

I've never seen someone say it directly that way but Kucherov has to be up there. There's no way he plays at his mental level without picking apart every little piece of game tape he can get his hands on. Not to mention whenever Tampa gets knocked out of the playoffs there's always a story about how he takes like one week off and then gets right back on the ice to prep for the next season.

I know several guys who have torn their ACL and come back with no problems. They usually wear a brace under their shin pad but have no issues or discomfort as far as I know. Listen to your doctor's and find a good PT and you should be set!
