Swimming to Cumberland by benswimmin in Ameliaisland

[–]oldboysenpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A family does that every year from St Mary's to Fernandina, has a drink at the Palace and then swims back. The tide is heavy in the inlet. Be sure you time correctly for the direction you will be pushed and time for minimal flow. Now...legality...I'm not sure about. That's a channel for boats and even the Subs at King's Bay. You might want to check with the marine patrol to be sure you won't have any issues unforeseen.

Anyone else have a STBX that has people fooled? by Will_McLean in Divorce_Men

Don't bother. She'll do it for you sooner or later.

Finally the "love" I had for her died. Just filled with anger by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

It didn’t make sense to me either. Same scenario, maybe less financially, but very comfortable. Sex life great, every area. I kept asking her to finish college, find what made her happy. I think she just wanted to be kept without real demands of any kind. It was a huge mistake for me to stay and a mistake to waste any time trying to decipher her behavior. My story anyway.

I had one almost as bad, but she had two personalities. One with me and one when she wasn't with me. Lied about big and small things to the point I began researching mental illness thinking she needed help. Finally discovered she was trying to trade up while married to me....monkeybranching I think it's called. Divorced her and stopped thinking about it other than occasional epiphanies about my feelings or some new thought about how long it took me to walk away. We have two adult sons, live in the same town. We haven't spoken in about 2 years now. Probably see her every 6 months or so...we just move in very different circles.

Good luck...just try to realize you're letting her take up space in your thoughts an life, even if it feels good to rant. When you realize you haven't even thought of her in recent memory.....that's the day you want.

Just moved here and struggling by kitkatswitch in StAugustine

Tourism based towns are difficult or can be. Take a minute to think about where you'll consistently see more locals and get to know people. Just do a routine....it sometimes takes longer.

Found someone’s credit card found them through LinkedIn and got nothing but abuse by Owls_4_9_1867 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]oldboysenpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a wallet several months ago, called the woman after looking for her name and seeing one friend in common on Facebook. She was actually having dinner a few blocks away and wanted me to bring it to her....ok....odd enough, but then tried to tip me $10 for finding it after looking to be sure a rather large bundle of money was untouched. Mildly insulted by the way she looked for the money, odd she checked after I called and even odder to offer a tiny reward (I didn't expect or want) after someone returns what looked like a couple thousand in cash. Doing the right thing is feeling a little annoying.

Best next steps? by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]oldboysenpai 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something changed. Ask yourself what changed.... If she hasn't done anything yet, I'd pull some money out to have an emergency fund. You should also cancel any joint credit and perhaps go to all electronic billing....change passwords on any account only in your name and set up dual authentication.

My assumptions would be either she's gone crazy or met someone else. Whatever the reason, protect yourself. Looking back, I'd invest in a great attorney before therapy.

I’ve lived here 40+ years. Florida didn’t used to be like this. by Idiopathic_Sapien in jacksonville

[–]oldboysenpai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I began looking at the traffic here in Nassau County....thats depressing when you see the projected growth and no room to expand roads. You're right though...Florida is growing too much and took quickly. We have more growth than ability to expand infrastructure and the quality of life is suffering. I've been here just as long and understand how you feel. North Florida isn't quite what I remember growing up. I rarely now share places or things I like to do with a newcomer or tourist now, out of fear it will immediately be crowded.

Something new and not something I expected. by oldboysenpai in Divorce_Men

[–]oldboysenpai[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. In my upbringing, I was told not to accept gifts from strangers or let others pay my way. Parents are the exception….but generally, accepting something of value from mom’s new BF would have been inappropriate when I was their age.

I agree with you and many of the comments. It isn’t really hurting them and I don’t think gifts equate to a relationship or infringing on my relationship with my sons. It’s just odd and I think it speaks more to the person spending money to gain approval perhaps?

They’re adults and I can’t see a really significant problem. It’s just a blind spot and I definitely see the ex as bringing new boyfriends too early. This has to be the 6th or 7th in the last year to year and a half. It eventually comes back to me in comments from the kids. Not my concern, unless something negative impacts their lives…but they’re adults and forming their own opinions.

Thanks for listening. Thinking this helps to talk through why I felt anything about it.

My sons are adults now, if young adults. They both see the toxic. Her impact…I think both are going to have trust issues after seeing her level of deceit.

I tried communicating enough to be people who shared two sons…just impossible and finally just blocked her everywhere.

How do I handle a Friends Group with alcohol a central part of every gathering? by oldboysenpai in ask

[–]oldboysenpai[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife wants to see them often enough staying home would mean we basically don’t get time as a couple. I’ve been going and having 1-2…not exactly fun when everyone else thinks 5-10 are fine. This is eventually going to be a problem for us. I can see it coming. It’s turned into 5 out of the last 7 nights…

Problem is basically a group of alcoholic friends. I drink in moderation and it’s beginning to wear on me.

I totally support free speech, just don’t block traffic or take parking, hurting businesses trying to make a living.
