On the plus side, she doesn’t have kids, and like to shoot guns. So there’s that. As an aside, what is with the selfies in the car? I see that everywhere.
I reread the sidebar, and hereby retract my comment. In the future I will only comment on posts that best fit the intent of this sub. Have a great day.
Rule of thumb in my state, alimony is enough to get her to half your combined incomes. If she doesn’t have a job, they will impute minimum wage on her. It lasts one year for ever three married. Such a deal.
I have also had some major gambling income. I played online poker during the 2000s boom, and won $10k-$20k a year for about three years. I duly paid my taxes. Gambling winnings are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes, not as capital gains. You report them on Form 1040, Schedule 1. If you itemize your deductions, you can deduct your gambling losses from your income on Schedule A. If you take the standard deduction, you can't deduct losses. If you can itemize, then you can deduct all your …
I actually enjoyed raising my kids, no problem sacrificing a little for them. My ex is a dumpster fire, but that has nothing to do with the kids. Now if this was pic of a guy holding boxes of women's shoes or something, that would be different.
Let’s put that in perspective for the math-challenged woman. $41.6M is about 12 cents per person in the US. Think she’s going to notice a dime and two pennies gone missing? There’s probably 10X that in loose change floating around in her purse.
I had a buddy with cystic acne. He did all that, but it never cured it. In his early 30s, he finally got tired of it, went on Accutane, and that did the trick. The side effects are pretty bad.
I’ll go against the consensus here, and state that there are some genuinely good women out there. My feeling is that since they are keepers, they get snapped up, and you never hear about them because there’s no horror stories to tell. The issue is one of scarcity, and being able to discern their true nature. AWALT until they prove otherwise, and even then, marriage is a bad idea.
I don’t doubt that. Creating the AI to make value judgements while driving is difficult though. For example how does a computer choose between hitting a pedestrian, or hitting an on-coming car? I watched a good video on this a while back.
I have. My mother. I’m not joking. There’s always some outliers, I guess. The problem is that I grew up thinking she was the norm. I found out the hard way.
At least the guy now knows what he’s involved with. She exposed her true self before they were married with kids. He may have lost his pet, but it could have been much worse.
What brands can you get for a buck? We have a place near me that has a $1.50 beer night, but all you can get is the Big 3 mass-produced stuff. Not that I’m complaining.
She’ll just have to settle for an infected guy. Downside is that it reduces the dating pool, but the upside is they can get a bulk discount on Valtrex.
To get rid of the “toxins”, which never seem to have a definite chemical makeup. They’re more like evil spirits, and putting piss in your eyes is the exorcism.
My ex is a sucker for this kind of “detox” nonsense. What exactly are these “toxins”? Like what are the actual chemicals? Your liver and kidneys are supposed to deal with toxins, are they not working? For most of these people, detox = magic.
He should probably get “laid off” from his new job, and take a job in the old town making much less money than before. But he’s doing that to keep the family together, ya know. Since money will be tight, they’ll probably need to sell the house, downgrade the cars, and have her get a job. Then when she divorces him, he won’t get totally creamed.
My ex mostly had guy friends when we got married. She said women were cliquey and mean to her. I later found out (too late) that she was basically borderline and incapable of forming real friendships.
The truth is she's no longer attracted to you. Anything she says is just her hamster rationalizing the situation. Your job is to figure out why she's no longer attracted to you, so you can fix and improve those behaviors, and won't have this happen to you again. I know it sucks, I have been there too.
I would not purposely ignore her, but not go out of my way to talk to her. If you pass right by her on the track, say "Hi XXXX", and continue with your workout. If she wants to talk, she will find a way.
When something like that happens with me, I always ask the clerk if I need to stand in line again. Most of the time they tell me to come to the front of the line after I've fixed things. Then there is no misunderstanding.
Getting branch swung on because I was a beta bitch finally motivated me to get to the gym. Showing her one day what she threw away is a good motivator. I keep her pic on my gym locker to inspire me to lift with righteous anger. Anger at my former bitch self.
If she wants to "be friends", fine. Treat her just like you would your guy friends. No taking her out, buying her crap, or long-ass text convos. When she's out with you and your friends, she pays her own way. Introduce her to your lady friends just like you would with the fellas. See how long she want to "be friends".
