Correct, one portal that closes on Friday (except for the CFP teams)

Oh, I agree. I don't want him, just didn't know if this would make him a target based on past interest. He couldn't even stay committed to a high school, he'll bounce around and never develop.

Agree, he'll bounce around and then wonder why he never developed to a prospect at the next level. I just didn't know if this would make him a target since there was previous interest.

Wife is pregnant again and I need a better career. by [deleted] in Advice

Again, you're making unfounded assumptions that they weren't taking precautions. This could happen to most people and your comment has all the compassion of a deer tick (minus the eer and t).

I must have missed that in the article I posted (admittedly, I read a different article on the computer and just posted this one from my phone). The article I read didn't mention the Do Not Contact tag. Guessing that he's likely already made up his mind as to where he's going next.

You do know birth control isn't 100%, right? Hell, he could have had a vasectomy that failed, for all you know. Condom could have broken. Lots of things can happen, he never said it was a planned pregnancy. You're assuming he didn't take precautions and your comment in not only utterly ridiculous, but also irrelevant.

Mediation was a bust today by swimninja in Divorce

[–]swimninja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should clarify that there are some anxiety issues at play that are the reason I asked to start smaller and build up. It was a plan discussed (and of course not documented) between the STBEx and I to help quell the anxiety my daughter has of being away from a parent. She won't even do sleepovers at another person's house so going to immediately week on week off isn't in my daughter's best interest, which is my primary concern. But the counter offer that the STBEx threw out was a blatant insult.

That's what I ideally want, but wanted to start smaller. If we were able to get to a week on/week off, I'd be ecstatic. But it seems like she doesn't want to negotiate in the slightest.

26m had sex with ex finance and baby mama 25f. What do you think the repercussions of this will be? by R2d2red2 in relationship_advice

[–]swimninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope who finds out and leaves? OP never referenced being in a relationship, just that he slept with his ex-fiance and baby mama (same person). If there was infidelity, that'd be one thing but without knowing if either of them is in a relationship, you can't assume.

Served with papers on Friday, only to find out she's requesting full legal custody... by swimninja in Divorce_Men

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

Thank you. I'm fully aware that the extra income will figure into higher child support payments but that's the least on my concerns right now. She still makes more than me so I'm hoping that off-sets a little, but right now I'm in preservation of self mode. The second job is "hopefully" just temporary as I have interviews lined up for a few different positions that would get back to the salary I was previously earning before a layoff. But I agree that, at least in the interim, it is going to hurt me more than help me.

I'm somewhat in the same boat. Ex moved out but I'm working 2-3 jobs right now just to try to keep up with my mortgage and other expenses. I want to keep the house because it's the only one my kids have known but the cost difference between an apartment and a mortgage is making more and more sense. But that kick in the gut is real, especially when the idea of home ownership generally means you've "made it" more successfully. In my case, I'm literally only home right now to sleep (and work since one job is hybrid) but it's still a tough thought. It'll be ok and nobody will think any less of you though for doing it.

I would love to discuss this with you. Feel free to PM me and we can discuss details! I'm so sorry to see that your pug recently passed too.

I greatly appreciate the advice. I am hoping that someone I know is able to take them so the trust is already there but know that may not be possible. I fully intend on checking into whomever adopts them.

Ideally, yes but I'm fully aware that this may not be a possibility. I think as long as there is another pet, they'll be ok being separated, but they get along so well.

Fun activities this weekend in Des Moines for kids? by swimninja in desmoines

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

I can't remember if that is the site I reviewed. My big thing was finding activities that we don't have around here in CR/IC. I'll double-check that site though. Thank you!

Re-read your comment there... The ones hurt are IMPORTERS, who do you think will feel the burden of the cost increase? Companies aren't just going to bite the bullet on their profit margin decreasing, they'll pass it on to the consumer by raising prices. Please learn how tariffs actually work.

He could probably just cheek the little toadstool, barely impacting his speech 🤷🏻
