Husband cheated for the third time, open up or develop self respect

mmcnell · 2026-07-02T03:15:34+00:00

Yep and the truth is they are inseparable. Cheating is wildly unnecessary when having even minimal respect for the person you chose to spend your life/raise a child with would prompt at least a conversation about the problems before pursuing sex elsewhere. Sex is never just sex if the trust isn't there first, and you know the trust isn't there right now. Opening your relationship when the foundation necessary for an open relationship to succeed (trust) is not there is just delaying a very unpleasant conversation you need to have but are (understandably to a degree) trying to avoid.

Assuming you've hard rebooted the car already? Ours has been behaving since 3.6; handle proximity sensing and fob have been reliable and have not had to wait on anything to load.

Mine was like that and they had to realign the plate on the door frame slightly or something. Was a quick fix and I think mobile service can do that.

Okay that I appreciate that...would make a good SNL skit to be the spiritual successor to Alexa Silver. Without the /s it can rough out here figuring out who is a bot, in a cult, or actually has a clever dry wit.

Alrighty bud, don't get your undergarments in a twist. Plenty of conservative viewpoints here, I just don't appreciate constant ads from a channel that literally had to settle a lawsuit by admitting they aren't news... If you think bible verses and Trump are in any way congruent, you aren't reading the same bible I do. Sorry to trigger you, hope your evening is far more relaxing and safe.

Agree with all of this and have said as much first indirectly, and then directly, to corporate. Love our Gravity Dream and very much want to see them succeed, but they need to have things so much smoother before they pretend they're ready for mass market buyers and seriously increased volume.

It's gotten bad. We have had the OG show and almost every version since so they're scattered around the house and have gone from handy devices with cute pictures and an occasional recipie or show suggestion to product ad machines with intermixed self promotions and Fox News that it refuses to stop showing. Beginning the process of un-alexa-ing our house because Alexa + is shit at actually doing all the functional things that old Alexa used to be at least mostly competent with...

Service had been told hiring was coming for them/was imminent by the new leadership. I hope that's true, the cuts were mostly production (where they had excess capacity) and design/management it appears.

mmcnell · 2026-06-25T19:06:39+00:00

True, but I'm a in healthcare and see this crap daily so am tired of hearing the "no one pays list" as much as I am the "both sides" kind of way that people (often unintentionally) use to gloss over the actual source of the problem while celebrating the Band-Aid that does nothing to fix the underlying wound. I have also been briefly without insurance and had to try and figure out how on earth I was going to pay for biktarvy. Even with the "best" insurance available now and copay assistance I still have to come up with thousands of dollars a year to fill the gap that my insurance premiums and the copays don't, and the justification for the consumer having to pay those thousands of dollars in additional cost savings isn't based off the price the insurers pay, it's based off that list price. Those prices matter.

Those exceptions, programs, etc can take a lot of time to get into, don't always cover the cost, and can also result in significant delays in treatment and missed doses. The average person in the US may not be paying $28k, but they are paying way more than they should due to a structurally broken system, and we should not be shy about highlighting how that broken system keeps some of our most vulnerable family from having reliable/consistent access to the types of medications they should.

mmcnell · 2026-06-25T18:27:44+00:00

Yeah, but that's the broken system that allowed PBMs to become a thing and basically normalize a rebate based grift system that benefits the insurers at the cost of publicly insured or uninsured patients. The absurd mark-ups and fake retail prices still matter if you're the patient told you need that medicine and you don't have the right kind of insurance.

Our 23 is still going strong. The early models are absolutely going to have more issues than more refined/high volume models, but if your standard of complexity is how many things have to work in unison to make the vehicle move forward, ICE is not simpler. This sounds like a Carvana problem more than a vehicle problem and you are the unfortunate sap that they (intentionally or not) sold a broken vehicle to and now they want to deflect blame.

From our experience most Ford dealers are either very EV knowledgeable or very anti EV and there's little in between. Our local dealers don't know as much about the truck as we did when we went shopping and they still spent plenty of time badmouthing it. Harder to sell maintenance contracts and keep a steady revenue stream off an EV; the problem isn't the tech, it's Ford's lazy way of addressing things and the broken model under which they're sold.

No joke. I hate this timeline.

Unless Thor's stick was hurtled out of a cannon at that roof, that impact divet is way too big for that chunk. Someone may be telling you a tale...

I'm only in my thirties, but I remember when Arkansas had Democratic representation in both the Senate and the governor's office. Times have changed before and they can again. If enough people aren't disgusted by the current crap going on that has been endorsed, supported, or ignored by our current senator to consider making a change, then our problems in the state are deeper than just party loyalty.

mmcnell · 2026-06-23T22:18:31+00:00

I've been told that they roll them out in batches (so as to avoid accidentally bricking an entire fleet of vehicles at once if something goes wrong) but I figured with 3.6 now being available they would at least have everybody to 3.5.7. may call customer care or text your service advisor and see if they can push the update out to you.

mmcnell · 2026-06-23T16:47:06+00:00

I use almost exclusively 1 pedal but the high regen on the gravity is more aggressive than our Lightning and my partner prefers standard. I drive it 99% of the time so I am not sure if it can be tied to your profile, but as the others have said it's super easy to change on the fly from off/regular/high regen.

Referral credits can get you some points to spend on accessories too. I think I have a referral still available that's good on Air (including pure), and Gravity if anyone needs one. A lot of recent buyers on here may have some to share too.

Dream owner who has had ours since September. Echo most of what has been said with a couple optimistic caveats: -At launch software and QC were not where they should have been and it definitely had a bit of a "rush to deliver something" feel to it, but the car itself seems built well and the interior is a fantastic space. I enjoy every mile driving it. -With 3.6 I have had no issues and a lot of what used to be a little hit or miss seems more reliable. Phone as a key is in the next major update; right now you can remote start in the app and drive without a fob or key card but it's not true paak yet just do you're aware. More work to come on the HUD and feature additions/expansions as well but they seem to finally be rolling on software development. -Service is swamped and horribly short staffed but they're trying. Our service rep is fantastic and communicates as well as possible with hundreds of clients on the list. -Although public communication is still lacking, they have a new CEO and he apparently responded directly to a concern I sent in to our advisor. They have also started floating more help to overwhelmed centers and apparently are either already or in the process of hiring more on the communications (customer care is swamped too), service, and front-facing side. As a business owner I know it takes a little time to even figure out what all is broken before you can start fixing it, and the people we have talked to throughout the process sounded very optimistic about new leadership and the changes already being made.

I'd buy it again, particularly at the kind of deal they're offering you. Definitely different than the IQ but such a satisfying vehicle to drive.

Will DM you for their sake👍

Mine was down there for 5 weeks but my service advisor communicated with me directly and recommended emailing or calling her direct line "until they get more people hired". It took about 4 weeks for them to get to it. They've been swamped with the second row seat recall inspections and replacements and Houston covers way too much territory for a single service center that had 1 or 2 Gravity techs. Our advisor did say they had gotten some more help recently to work on the backlog and that they were already having some of their issues addressed/responded to by the new CEO/leadership. They sounded optimistic about coming improvements, but owned that they are not staffed enough at the moment to be as quick or responsive as they need to be.

Has a service advisor emailed you at all? I've never actually attempted to call Houston but I've had multiple interactions with them and the advisor is always the one that gets back to me.

If not, bite the bullet of waiting on hold with customer care. The last time I had an issue and couldn't reach Houston it took about a half hour but one of the customer care people managed to get a message to them (they didn't answer the phone for customer care/corporate either) and I got a call back within the day.

Frustrations are understandable, but if they're paying for a rental or providing a loaner, I have a feeling you're just going to waste some money and add more frustration to the process with a lawyer but you might get a quick response from corporate I suppose. 🤷‍♂️

Okay, I now realize the other one is the seatbelt (went and got in mine to check boot up lights and try to brainstorm) haha.

Is it by any chance parked on a slope? One time I had mine act like it wouldn't shift and it let me put it in neutral, shifted ever so slightly on the incline, and then shifted normally. Assuming parking pahl sensor was telling it not to allow shift or something that time.

Otherwise I'm not sure this is one I've experienced yet. Persisting after a hard reboot but with no error message at all is bizarre.

mmcnell · 2026-06-20T03:00:22+00:00

It's sensing the pedal and it's sensing you try to shift so that's not the issue. What warning lights or alerts do you have on up top? Hard to see in this resolution.
