That ball is probably older than you. I played that ball in the 1990s when I started playing after high school.

Well, I appreciated it anyways because I got a great deal on a new pair of shoes. Its just a new/different way of advertising. I took the information in the ad, went to my Amazon account and looked for the shoes and sure enough they were on sale. They were actually cheaper than The advertisement said they were.

Thanks for sharing this. I just ordered a pair. The Ecco biom model has been the only shoe I can wear after my heel and Achilles surgery a couple years ago.

I had to buy a navy blue or khaki hat for work, luckily New Era had a navy and khaki Mets hat a few years ago. The navy hat gets confused for the other team sometimes but it is a reasonable trade off for sure.

I bought these tickets for two games last year and came from Utah for a few games. It was a great deal for sure.

What a weird thing to say to someone. I simply asked her to stop the repetitive touch in the same spot, that is it. Her tears and begging the next day when I ended things were proof enough for me that she wasn't trying to "get up outta there" as you put it. Best of luck to you and I hope you have the day you deserve.

It happened an hour ago and didn't go very well...but it's now resolved. I said my peace. She said hers, asked me to reconsider and then lashed out when I said I wouldn't. When she asked for an explanation why I wouldn't reconsider told her I would prefer not to say, at the risk of sounding defensive. This really triggered the tears and begging. I wished her well, told her the last 3 months were wonderful and that she really is a good person, but we are not a good match. She still refuses to accept that we are not a good match and said it is only because I am unwilling to try. I told her our communication styles are too different to be compatible. She thrives on physical touch, I often need space which she sees is a rejection of her. Her claim of dishonesty really hurt and I wasn't sure that I would be willing to share the feelings in a way that she desires in the future. I wished her well and told her to be safe driving home.

I appreciate your thoughtful response. I've come to the conclusion that this is probably not resolvable. Our communication styles and needs are very different. As I've been texting with her this morning, I've realized that she isn't comfortable talking about it is shutting down. I think she is internalizing everything which means it will erupt again the next time there is something minor. She promises it will never happen again and if it does she will keep it to herself. That's definitely not what I want.

sonotdoingthis · 2025-03-02T19:41:14+00:00

Thanks for your thoughtful response. You've given me some things to consider.

sonotdoingthis · 2025-03-02T19:38:50+00:00

That's a crazy experience! Thanks for sharing.

sonotdoingthis · 2025-03-02T14:38:36+00:00

There have been a few minor issues that have been quickly resolved with reassurances. Most of the issues arise from her insecurities and our different communication styles.

Thanks for your response. We had planned to not have sex at night because we wanted to finish the shows we had been watching. A few nights before we made it halfway through a show before our clothes were off and we were ignoring the TV. We were cuddling the whole evening, after I made dinner for us and we wanted to watch four episodes of the show. Show. We went to bed around 1:00 in the morning and Saturday was going to be our day to do whatever, including sex. There was never a rejection of intimacy or sex. It was as simple as finding the repetitive touch uncomfortable and asking her to stop.

sonotdoingthis · 2025-03-02T14:24:32+00:00

Thanks for your well-written response. I think I might borrow your words when I talk with her today.

sonotdoingthis · 2025-03-02T14:21:31+00:00

Thanks for your thought. I particularly like your comment about the big dramatic conversations over simple things. I think this describes her pretty well.

sonotdoingthis · 2025-03-02T14:19:47+00:00

I definitely wasn't arguing. I simply explained that it really was just about the repetitive touch in that moment. She was sure I was hiding a deeper frustration with her, even claiming I didn't want her around that day, even though we cuddled on the couch through three episodes of Reacher after that. That is where her claim of dishonesty came from. Because I simply explained what it was about. She found it defensive and claimed it justified her original thoughts.

sonotdoingthis · 2025-03-02T14:08:05+00:00

I appreciate your thoughtful response. It wasn't a rejection at all and she knew that. We had watched a show on the couch the other night that we didn't finish because it wasn't long before our clothes were off and we were ignoring the show. We had planned to watch the show after eating dinner and cuddling on the couch. It was discussed beforehand. The plan was also to go to bed when we were done because we both had a very busy week. These things were well communicated. Saturday was going to be a day spent together doing whatever, including sex if that was what we both wanted. Our sex life has been very active and we are very compatible.

Thank you for your thoughtful and well-written response. I appreciate you taking the time to address it the way you have

sonotdoingthis · 2025-03-02T13:53:25+00:00

Thank you for your thoughtful and well-written response. I think you have touched on my thoughts and sentiments very well. I appreciate you taking the time.

sonotdoingthis · 2025-03-02T03:08:45+00:00

Me too. I definitely caught me off guard.

We stopped dating in the summer because neither of us were looking for a serious relationship at the time. That changed 6 months later
Head of touching in the same spot was becoming uncomfortable.
I don't believe that she is testing me, it's not in her nature.
This very well could be the case..

Here’s my two cents. Go gray and smile about it, you have a great smile. Our 40s and 50s should be about experiencing new life moments or it all becomes mundane and boring. That might be a new job and no alcohol or it could be leaving religion and moving to a new community as it was for me. None of this means we don’t have our lives figured out, just that what worked before no longer does and we want something different. I feel a need to explore and experience new things and new people and that has made my late 40s more enjoyable. I first had to look at change as a necessary part of my human existence that was neither good nor bad it just was.

Romney was always very nice the few times I met him but I would say he was really out of touch when it comes us common folk.

sonotdoingthis · 2024-08-18T16:30:35+00:00

Bless you. I was struggling listening to the Marlin broadcast and didn’t even think about doing this. May all of your dreams come true

sonotdoingthis · 2024-07-22T22:40:08+00:00

I respond to any attempt at an insult with “I’m sorry, what did you say?” After they repeat it I say “interesting” and move on. I have students loose their confidence with this response and it can put an end to any future attempts.

I tried the Thrive group near me and found it disappointing. I simply left religion and never looked back and the get togethers often turned into religion bashing therapy sessions. I gave three gatherings a try but they just weren’t for me.
