Look she been hostile all along, Lawyer advised me to take full weekend with kid. Ex had stipulated she wanted her home at night every night (i did not agree). Got a lawyer letter via my lawyer about how irresponsible and impulsive this was. I shrugged it off tbh, she hadn't even bothered to call me when I sent her whatsapp i'm taking daughter to visit grandparents. She lies and tries to set traps, where she will get me to do something "incriminating" as in to indicate I am bad father etc. Anyways my daugther smiled and had fun this past weekend. We posted Multiple photos on groups and she saw she was safe and never once asked re her health. Yet the letter stated she was concerned for child's safety etc. I look back and I wonder where is the woman I once loved?

Things change so quickly.

Goes so fast! mine is 14months atm (1year 2months) and she is running around chasing pets and having a ball. Granddad is her favorite. She also figured out how to open things right around pulling up stage just FYI start putting door locks on etc.

My thoughts are with all of them!

I don't disagree with the sentiment of supporting your grandchild, But with that said if your paying support, there should be some kind of interaction IMHO (I would want to be part of the life of kid).

This is scary stuff guys, So now we have to watch our own winky and those of our kids...... really seems silly. I'm sure the law was made with good intentions.

This video is really good!

My lawyer is one seriously scary woman, Nice as can be but wow she went "Ok this is what we doing", the question was implied but wasn't really up for negotiation. I am gonna say one thing though if not for my friend (Best Friends fiance) I don't think anything would have gone nearly as well. Having someone else looking out for your interests makes a difference. She made me tell the lawyer everything(I forget she took notes all during week about everything we talked about). If you're in this position try and have a friend like that around, makes the world of difference.

The glass is always full......... it might just be a combination of water and air instead of just water. Just to mess with things a little bit. My little excursion this weekend to get away has gone really well. I went to visit my mom and she needed more than I did. Lazy relaxed and feeling good.

I take no offence, I have a thick internet skin (apparently real life its way thinner than I thought).

To me the hub is partly home, Its a place I go to keep up to date on news and I Lurk reading posts. Cycling hasn't really been something I have been able to get time lately but I treasured my last trip to Jonkershoek month and half ago. This thread specifically encouraged me to work on marriage rather than end it. With no changes happening from the other side of relationship, and some hurtful words once I brought up how I felt we needed to work on things. I went back and sat down long and hard before making my choice. Today I smile, yesterday I smiled. I have not just smiled because i'm happy about life in years. I would however advice anyone considering things to speak more to your friends and family. I have shocked a large amount of my friends and family because I kept it to myself and hid my pain.

I do this, and i have a chuckle after wards usually few hours later. But in the moment i have to maintain the cool. TBH I am proud to say I have not lost my cool once. I shut up and walk out way before that.

I will do that, just exporting it first as well. I am very fortunate to have the support I do. If I was alone I don't think I would have made it out without some huge meltdowns.

So i'm doing paperwork tons of it. At the same time as much as I would like to end things amicably the constant barrage of msg's blaming me for things never said or done is really wearing on me. Yesterday I actually managed to get angry for first time since I left, because of what she said. With all of this I am still trying to be nice so one smiles and calms down and continues right? One thing I am thankful for right now is that I don't drink cause that would have ended horribly.

I had Bubbles (Daughter) this weekend (days, long story) we visited with my friend and his kids, she had a blast all smiles and happiness, she went home exhausted daily. The wife has also calmed down and things look like it might move in a more friendly if unhappy manner. Don't get me wrong Saturday I had a extremely hard night after some hurtful things she said. But i eat the humble pie and just try to keep things going forward. Bubbles must come first

Sorry that gave me a good chuckle at your expense

Thanks fortunately the IRL side has things covered mostly. It is disturbing how the smallest thing will set you off into a depressed/upset state tho. Want to get back on bike next week think it will help, this weekend I get Daughter so gonna spend all time I can with her.

I have been following this thread since start, It encouraged me to work on my relationship when it started. Unfortunately the results were not all that excellent. Long story short things gone from bad to worse and I decided to end it, wife did not take it very well and I am staying with family. Fortunately I get to see daughter regularly ATM and should continue that way. My friends and family have been INSANE amount of support. Saturday was worst day of my life in every way possible.

Great News Landy!

Same, was a redhot firepoker of pain crawling across skin.

I don't know how much no this requires. Fair to say a lot.

We had lan's like that back in the day. Fortunately duct tape wasn't available as I was youngest and likely to be one taped up.

Everything you say is true and correct however it fails to take one thing into account. There are some of us that cannot afford to buy a new card every 2, 4 or even 6 years. This unfortunately means we would like to use said card as long as possible. Personally I have had both and Nvidea has given me better results later in its life span. Take into account I do not buy the high end cards of either brand. My current 1060 3gb is the most expensive card I have ever had.

Problem I have with AMD cards is they turn legacy at some point and AMD doesnt release new drivers so the newer games wont run on them even if they would still work (there are hacks to fix this). Nvidia has support way further back and cards tend to last bit longer in the scheme of things.

like one of the other ones. Red dead isnt on pc, only reason wasnt made game of the year
