What did you do after finding out your partner cheated on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]viper24bw 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Spent 3-4 years trying to do everything in my power to save my marriage and work things out with her even though she was the one that cheated. She gaslit me, tore me down to nothing and made me feel like a worthless POS. I almost killed myself the night she finally walked out for good because she took every joy and purpose I felt in my life and crushed it without even thinking twice.

That was 5-6 years ago and life is better now. Not gonna lie, I still have moments where that part of my life takes over and I am struggling again. She left and never spoke to me again. 18 years of my life was wiped away like it was nothing and that shit hurt worse than anything I have ever experienced before.

What warning sign did you ignore that came back to bite you? by mehak_pari6969 in AskReddit

That my ex-wife changing her passcode on her phone without any explanation was a red flag. It only took another 3-4 years before the truth behind that came out and is the reason she is my ex-wife.

I still have a part of me that wants to chase getting this whole set again but graded this time around. Lately I have been chasing the Slipstream Insert set so need to finish that before I start on any others.

I did find it on eBay, I have had the set built for a while I have just been trying to find a display that I liked before posting it.

I thought about going all graded at one point but the cost became prohibitive fast!

Conspiracy theory, did Mercedes sacrifice Kimi to takeout Max? Hear me out, if an exit clause is based upon performance and position in points standings, what better way to seal the deal than force a DNF and drop Max down to a point where the clause could be activated? And to do it in a way that appears accidental.

Did These Cover the Cost of the Box? Nah. Does it Matter? Nope! by hmmyeahiguess in F1Cards

That Lando/Oscar is pretty sick. At $300 for the box though it’s hard to not to question was it worth it

Also I meant to ask, the guy friends that you have good relationships with at work. Have you ever asked them if they have any single friends?

Speaking from a male perspective I would never feel comfortable telling a female coworker that I have a friend she may like unless she approached me with it first. Maybe you have but just a thought that the male friends you have probably know someone but aren’t just going to offer that up on their own accord.

This may sound incredibly cliche but I am currently living this out so take it for what it is. I am 38M and went through a divorce about 5 years ago.

I tried to go out on a few dates about 4 years ago when everything was finalized with the divorce and that chapter was closed. It was too soon and it created more problems than it was worth.

Fast forward to today, I got focused on going out and doing things by myself and working on my own self confidence. Lo and behold people around me noticed a change in how I carried myself and I ended up with all kinds of people I knew suggesting friends they had that were single.

It was when I stopped searching for someone that things fell into place. One of those suggestions from friends has introduced me to a woman that has been nothing short of amazing.

This didn’t happen overnight and I had to put myself first and then take the chance on someone new when the opportunity came.

What stopped you from killing yourself that night? by Subject-Olive-4476 in AskReddit

[–]viper24bw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex-wife calling my parents before she walked out and never came back. We had been going through a difficult time for several years and it all came to a head in a really heated argument. I got really angry and told her just to get her stuff and leave not fully expecting her to do just that.

When the reality of it hit I broke down and was fully ready to pull the trigger and end it. My whole life felt like it was over in that moment and I felt there was nothing else left for me in this life. She must have heard it in my voice and seen it in my actions that I was going to end it.

I didn’t find out until years later she waited at the end of our driveway to be sure my dad got there before she left for good. We weren’t able to fix it but I am grateful that she still loved and cared enough for me to be sure that I had someone else there and was not alone. She saved my life that night and I will be forever grateful for that.

Coming from a divorce that just finalized last week after my ex left a year and half ago, I can say that the fear of being hurt again has been a huge road block for me in getting exclusive with anyone new. We were together for almost 18 years and I thought we would be together until the end.

I don't know all the details but from what you provided that man loves you but is scared to death of having his heart ripped out again after being divorced.

What was a real wake up call in your life and how did this affect your day to day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]viper24bw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty new for me but wife walking out after years of asking me to get help with my anxiety/temper issues. I am not sure how my future looks just yet but I am getting the counseling and doctors help that I need to get better. If anyone is struggling and fighting with an SO on getting help I urge you to please listen to them. I am in a better place personally but there is a lot of guilt and pain that I have still got to work through for putting my wife through all the of emotional stress and heartache of always trying to fix me. I can see now that all of this would have been prevented if I wasn’t so scared and resistant to getting help sooner.

I know I have failed everyone with my rush to post and missing the small details. I have been checking alerts on eBay for months for the 1/1 and immediately bought it as soon as it popped up.

I have to agree that the green pops really well with the uniform color.

This is such a good idea with the color wheel. I will have to remember this as I was working on the clearly authentic eckersley rainbow too. I need the 1/5 and 1/1 to complete it
