    Girls who broke your heart thread

    Well - I"ve done that. Even messaged a bit, and met up with one girl. But... It"s like I"m just going through the motions, and I"m not that enthusiastic about it. Indeed. Note: I don"t have that much in terms of breakup experience from before. I"m 32 now, and was with my ex since I was 19. Not...

    So. It"s been about 5 months since my wife left me. I"ve got zero interest in even trying to get her back. And I"ve still got approximately zero interest in other girls. This is a new experience, and it"s slightly worrying.

    Right. About to hit the 3 month mark. Kids still doing well. Looking at them, it seems as if they"ve hardly noticed a change. The relationship with my ex has settled into an easygoing/comfortable one where we may chat for a bit when we meet to swap the children over, perhaps have a coffee, and...

    Was there ever a cheating woman who didn"t blame their man for the cheating in some way?

    I had no idea wrt was such an unusual acronym. We"re signing this weekend. And if she breaks the contract, my war chest for going to court is bigger.

    In Norway. Wrt kids and custody: As long as I can work out an agreement with my ex (and we can), we can decide whatever we want to. The agreement that is due to be signed is basically 50/50 custody, and a long string of exceptions and how to handle vacations, holidays etc. Wrt our house...

    Girls who broke your heart thread

    This has been a weird 10 days. Being dumped hard, grieving over that, finding out she"s been seeing someone, handling that shock, then some idiot went crazy with a bomb + guns to commit the worst atrocity in Europe since WW2. That should have put into perspective for me, but just made me feel...

    No way to really say until it happens. Right now I"m up for reconnecting all the way to becoming friends so that the kids can see us at the same time. But I"m not getting back with her. I value trust. I won"t ever trust her again.

    Girls who broke your heart thread

    No religious qualms... Strangely enough, I"ve already kind of worked my way to the same conclusion (thought-process-wise, but the message hasn"t reached the iron hand clamping my chest). After so many years, the relationship is more about the whole thing of being together; doing stuff, raising...

    Girls who broke your heart thread

    Well, what details are there to spill. The story isn"t unique: We got together when she was 18 (I was just 19), the first year was long distance (the Atlantic between us), then she moved in with me. We lived together for 5 years, then our son was born (2005). Two years after that we married...

    Indeed. It"s life though. 12 years is a long time. We were 18 when we met. People change. Intellectually it"s not hard to understand.

    My turn to join this thread 12 years, married, 2 kids. "Perfect couple"-appearance to family, friends and... me. But apparently not to her. That"s enough for now. This hurts.

    This is not meant as advice, but this is how I made it work: I met her late summer "99 at a bar, spend the night making out, then didn"t see her until a month later (I met her when I was on vacation in her country) when I went back to see her. We spent 10-14 days together, and were 110%...

    Salary Negotiation

    I recognise why keeping this information confidential is beneficial to an employer, but to the employee who is trying to estimate his value the information is a valuable tool. The relationship is after all a trade, and almost always the employee is at a severe information disadvantage. (I...

    Salary Negotiation

    Why shouldn"t he know that information? I"m serious... it may be a cultural thing, but I"ve worked in the UK and now in Norway, and you may not go around revealing your salary to the world, but I"ve never had people insist on keeping it secret, either. If the subject is mentioned in...

    Green Monster Games - Curt Schilling

    This is page 162, and I"ve only skimmed most of the pages, so the idea is probably already on the table, but here goes: Have certain mobs (bosses) reward players who kill it withcap increases. Tie it into lore: If you kill the Ogre Champion, your STR cap is increased by 2, if you kill the...

    2002. They had to make a call, they had to try to predict the future - 5 years is alongtime in consumer PC hardware. They missed the mark, but only just. (Or do you actually think they should have designed the game for 2002 hardware?!)

    Are you contending that my statement that I had to stare into walls to cast spells in EQ1 is false, or are you comparing our two different experiences and using your own as the only valid experience?

    I spent ?600. I am having a blast - it"s the most fun I"ve had in any MMOG since I got hooked on EQ1 many years ago. The sceneries and atmosphere in the game is fantastic - I am frequently running around and having to stop because - gosh, it"s just beautiful! The content is plentiful, and I"ve...

    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    I don"t remember EQ1 as having "reasonable framerates" at all. I remember staring into walls to be able to cast my spells. Anyway - used to play on an Athlon 2400, 1GB RAM, 5400 RPM harddrives, Nvidia 7600 GS and had ~15-20 FPS in group settings (and my girlfriend is still using that PC and...
