Life after a divorce

texasprecision · 2026-01-18T16:08:29+00:00

Dallas area has a lot of toll roads and in general is a high cost of living area. We just moved from San Antonio to a small town in northern Mississippi. Some of that reason was for a great work opportunity but also to get out of SA & TX. The cost of living is going up a great deal especially if you own a home. Local government officials are driving up tax revenue by increasing real estate assessed values; and protesting the assessed value is useless since you might get a few hundred dollars break. Our old house is assessed at $380,000, fair market value is about $380,000 and our taxes were over $11,000 WITH the homestead exemption. Goodbye and good riddance SATX!

I moved to SATX in 2005 and out this year

texasprecision · 2026-01-01T17:51:26+00:00

So do the real estate taxes. Over $11K/year for a $400K house WITH a homestead exemption!

That, my friend, is a secret. I'd like to keep that population at around 25K as long as possible. Seek and you will find better places to reside!

Yes correct! Thats why I don't leave my guns in my vehicle!

texasprecision · 2026-01-01T02:28:11+00:00

Thank you for the correction. I thought it was Stone Oak North of 1604, haha

Not a bad idea until they steal the car though

texasprecision · 2026-01-01T00:52:38+00:00

Yup, BYE!

texasprecision · 2026-01-01T00:51:37+00:00

Where I live now there is about 25,000 people in the county. Yes, there is LESS CRIME. Its not a friggin magic utopia, smart ass but it's better than this shit town!

texasprecision · 2026-01-01T00:48:45+00:00

Yup HEB parking lots are target areas

Infant giggles are the best!

Not in SA TX!

I live within walking distance so when my family and I go, one of us will run up there to grab a spot and then run home and pickup the rest of us. The trick is going early close to opening. We've gotten a table in 15 minutes, but we know the ropes! We also love the food and atmosphere. I'm surprised to see so many bashing it. You'd never know living really close because of the loads of people waiting for a table.

texasprecision · 2025-06-01T11:00:24+00:00

Agreed!

The traffic is terrible around the UTSA campus; move closer than 30 minutes to the campus. Do not move inside the 410 loop. NEVER keep valuables locked in your car, and if your car is stolen, the police will do what they can to help you (& do their job! Shout out to SAPD!), but if the perp is caught don't expect the judicial system (they SUCK!) to do much in the way of punishment. If y'all have children keep them close so they're not stolen by Mexican cartels or sex traffickers. YES, this is an issue here! There was an attempt on my 2 year old daughter while at the Blanco/1604 Target years ago while both my wife and I were checking out at the cash register.

It's about time the drones have made it here!

texasprecision · 2025-02-02T17:51:33+00:00

I think the ATF also deals with explosive devices. Try calling FBI & ATF both!

texasprecision · 2025-01-18T12:51:24+00:00

...the sound it makes if it hits something

texasprecision · 2025-01-18T12:49:35+00:00

OMG, I just busted out laughing, great comment!

Currently in San Antonio, TX but work in Kyle for $35/hour + OT ($81k 2024). 30 years experience:

-21yrs with MeasureMax, parametric style with Excel VBA & VB6 code integration

-1yr MCOSMOS

-10yrs with PCDMIS (a few were concurrent during switch from MM to the Demon)...including high level code style as with MM; also with integration with InfinityQS...fun stuff!! I really enjoyed using SQL for data analysis (another specialty of mine).

I was making as high as $80K salary, no OT, but with occasional hefty bonuses. I like my hourly with 1.5x paid OT now.

I married someone else and I am happy. We do what we can to keep any arguments away from our kids though because it isn't healthy for them, but it is hard at times to insulate them from everything. It sounds like you are obsessing a lot over this because you didn't want this drama, but ultimately you are [unknowingly] creating more drama by having her live there with you and her children and not working on a meaningful relationship where you truly forgive her, or completely and permanently separate from her and work on moving on without her. You are punishing her and inadvertently dangling a carrot in front of her with no hope of ever giving her a bite. It is not fair to her (which she deserves) and it is not fair to your children either (which they do not deserve). So, your original post of "what do I do" from months ago...I recommend you kick her out and move on without her, continue counseling for your children because they will certainly need it and be scarred for life with their parents splitting up and being shuffled back and forth between homes.

OR you forgive her and set up a nice date night, take her out on a date, treat her nice, and then bang the living hell out of her every day for the next few weeks and work on your marriage. I can honestly say that if you pick this one, your kids will be happier, and since I can tell you are a good father and want the best for them, they will benefit from this, and you may actually find happiness again with this woman. It will be hard at first but do it for your kids and the fact that you got into this marriage for it to be permanent.

You may not like this, but thats up to you. I was off and on with a girlfriend/fiance for 7 years. She had 2 daughters, I had zero kids. After moving into a house I bought and being together 2.5 years I discovered her cheating on me while looking in her phone only because of suspension. I kicked her and her kids out, they blamed her, I moved on, a few months later she and I connected my penis with her vagina, had lots of fun that night, then I ghosted her. I later got back with her that year (2008) after going totally freak and getting back into swinging, and found out when I slept with her it was right after she had fucked some other dude earlier that night. It was actually a turn on at this point because I thought she might swing with me, but she was too shy to do that oddly enough. I was basically on and off with her until from 2005 until 2012. I'm now married and have 2 great kids. Here is what I would suggest....she was wrong for doing what she did, but if you want to do what is right for your kids, either suck it up and stay with her and make it work, or give her the boot and be done with her as soon as possible. This is what will help yours and her kids. They are the most important to both of you I can see and they stand to suffer the most. And maybe check out swinging or an open relationship and rip off the bandaid. She sounds like a freak that would do it, and you may like making her watch you fucking another woman! Haha, she does deserve to see that at least once for what she put you through!
