Ideas on how to make a baseball hat rack

As the title says. I’m looking for friends.
Someone who will be respectful and keep the conversation going. I understand everyone is different but please don’t be shy to talk or keep the conversation going. It will not take us anywhere because I plan on doing calls with you. If you don’t like this, don’t message me.
You need to have dis cord
Also don’t message me if you’re older than 19. Please! In what world does it make sense for a pedo to talk to a child? Do not try to convince me or try to explain your weird idea of how it’s “okay” because it’s not.
I’m 17 and in the U.S. please be in the U.S. too. Helps with time zones. Otherwise I’m going to just forget to talk to you.

First of all, newly engaged, thinking about run away.
We have a happy 3 years relationship, we deal our conflict rationally, split the house chores, provide emotional support to each other. I don’t have much experience when it comes to relationships, but I thought I met the right one.
We had a discussion about signing an prenup, so any property that belongs to his mother that under his name can be left out from the marriage. I agree and did not go through the whole process, just agree with all his edits of the prenup.
When my lawyer look through the prenup, she warned me that my fiancé stated in the prenup that there will be no community property in our marriage. I was confused and ask him how come, he says that since we are having a join account together, it doesn’t matter.
Upon further discussion, he says that he wants us to contribute to the join account equally, which I disagree since he makes roughly 50% more than me after tax. I talk with him very seriously, he says he doesn’t understand what am I angry about, and will ask his friends about it for suggestions.
1 week later, I follow up with him, he did not ask anyone but choose to wait till I talk to him first, and claim that we should discuss together. I asked him what if I had babies and has to stay home for a while, he says he will need to have all the bill about the baby and then we can discuss how to handle it later.
At this point I’m just frustrating, originally I want to negotiate with him about contribute to join account pro rata, but feels like if he doesn’t want to communicate or try to fix the problem, the marriage won’t work.
So, AITAH for asking him contribute more on join account? I don’t like the idea that we are splitting the bills for everything, I understand he wants some freedom financially, so do I, but is it really fair when I’m willing to contribute anything while he wants few k every month for his own?
Additionally, I feel like he became someone I don’t recognize, I don’t know if I’m capable to live with someone that don’t communicate and don’t make efforts on relationship.
Let me know your thoughts, throw all your harsh words on me if I’m wrong. And sorry in advance for my poor wording.

Hello y'all!
I would like to post about my honest review of this game.
For context, PH was my very first Zelda ever, and I haven't tried many Zelda games besides PH and ST (currently on my way to finish it). It was a big part of my childhood, and going back to play it once more recently was so worth it.
Having said that, this is my review of the game:
Overall, I think the game is very well made. I was quite surprised to see that in the English Internet the game is not as liked as it was in the country I grew up in.
The strengths of the game are as follows. First, the dungeons. I know this game is often hated because of its heavy reliance on the Temple of the Ocean King, but I think this is the best part of the game (although all the criticisms are understandable). I will discuss TotOK in detail later. The other dungeons are pretty well made IMO. My least favorite dungeon is the Goron Temple, but even that was pretty good. Besides TotOK I also loved the Temple of Ice with the grappling hook being a very well made item, the Temple of Wind for the vibes, and Mutoh's temple for both gameplay and vibes. I didn't like the Temple of Courage as much for its complexity, but I understand there's gotta be a dungeon with that characterstics at certain points.
Another strength is the plot.My favourite part of this game is that it really feels like a story with the plot development and whatnot. I think the developers did a good job making this progress especially with information being continuously revealed over the plot (with almost none at the beginning). I think TotOK did a good job with this as well, which I'll explain in a separate section.
Needless to mention characters. All characters are good, but Linebeck alone makes the gameplay 100 times more interesting. I literally named my character 'Linebeck' once to make Linebeck say "Linebeck? That's an odd name. My name is Linebeck!!!! Cool right?".
Now the weaknesses. I think the game could have had better controls (a lot of which were improved in ST). Especially with somersault, it did not need to be that difficult, although as an expert-level player myself I'd love to master that XD
Lastly, the Temple of the Ocean King. I personally know some friends who love the game but absolutely hated TotOK, so I know the hate is quite widespread. I personally don't mind doing repetitive gameplay, so its 'issues' don't bother me at all. I absolutely agree with the idea of having a dungeon you must revisit over and over, so that you can kind of feel the progress. I, however, also agree that the dungeon could get repetitive for some people, and think the developers should've done a better job making the repetition less repetitive and actually focused on finding out puzzles.
Having said that, I would have to ask one question who criticize the game for being too easy and/or repetitive: after the Ghost Ship, have you tried getting both SE and NE sea charts in one run in the TotOK? That makes the game so much funner with that run being so much more difficult (B11 is batshit crazy without bombchus and grappling hook), and you can save yourself 1 run in the TotOK, which means you don't have to think about TotOK until the very end of the game! To give my personal anecdote, in my first play of the game as a child, I kept on going after I got the SE sea chart, and although I wasn't expecting to finish another section right away, I ended up getting the NE sea chart (although barely with no time left in the hourglass XD). That was one of the most memorable moments of my life, and probably one of the greatest reasons why the game sticks so much to me even today (and the TotOK doesn't feel as repetitive as people make out to be).
Upon that, I would like to review each section of the TotOK with a focus on 'repetitiveness':

• F1: 4 visits minimum, but only the first visit involves solving anything, and the other three are just 2 second walkovers to B1. Not repetitive at all.
  
• B1-B3: 3 visits minimum. For B1 and B2, the second visit opens a massive shortcut with the introduction of bombs, making both rooms very simple (solvable in less than 30 seconds and 1 minute respectively). However, after the second visit, there is not much of a shortcut added (there probably cannot be given how simple they have already got, although it would be better to have evenore shortcuts). For B3, it's actually a floor I'm very critical of. Even in the first visit B3 is the most complex and tedious floor out of all three, pand there is not much of a shortcut in the three mandatory visits. The floor becomes entirely skippable with the grappling hook, but it becomes optional with the yellow portal by then anyways. Expert-level players like myself know how to have fun and try new things for each visit in B3 (ie. giving force gems to Swift Phantoms to have them deliver it closer to the pedestal in the third visit), but that's not what it should've focused on.
  
• B4-B6: 2 visits minimum. B4 becomes much simpler in the second visit with the deactivation of wind walls with the bow and arrow, so not much to say here. B5 consists of 2 closed room fights that change between the first visit and the second visit and a 'shortcut' after the adoption of bombchus (which the yellow portal would've made the floor optional anyways). B6 consists of solving a mystery that is quite possibly the hardest riddle in the game (you know which one) but you know the answer in your second visit onwards, so it's not repetitive. My criticism for B6 is that the aforementioned riddle is in the TotOK out of all places in which people cannot save the progress until then and have to replay over and over again. The riddle itself is a gem though, it's one of my biggest video game regrets to have read the answer instead of figuring it out myself. Overall, the B4-B6 becomes extremely easy in the second visit onwards, so it's not super repetitive.
  
• B7-B9: Now it gets more fun! 2 visits minimum, although most people do 3 (I suggest against this). In the first visit, you must go back and forth between all three floors. In the second visit onwards (after bombchus and grappling hook), B7 and B8 become extremely skippable, and B9 becomes much simpler as well (but players can still be confused if they don't keep track of these three floors). If you know what you do, however, it becomes thrilling to know how much you can just skip by having two more items. Not only is this section not super repetitive, but it's where the intention of developers actually succeeded. The best part of the game IMO.
  
• B10-B12: 2 visits minimum. So this is the section you have the options: 'hard' option without bombchus and grappling hook and 'easy' option with the 2 items. Comparing how each of these 'options' differ, B10 and B12 are fairly consistent. Although B10 becomes somewhat easier, I don't think it's beyond the tolerable level. B12 is almost identical between the two options. My real problem is B11. As stated earlier, B11 is super hard without the 2 items . However, with the 2 items, it becomes a joke. This is where I think the developers failed to manage the difficulty between these two options. Having two options was a great idea, but their way of implementing it wasn't so great. In the second visit after the phantom sword, B11 becomes just skippable. I think if the difficulty of B11 remained the same between the two options making it skippable after the adoption of the hammer would've been more justifiable, but it just wasn't it. And needless to mention that B10 becomes less repetitive if you try it for the first time without these two items (they're pretty much all the shortcuts).
  
• B13: 2 visits minimum. The first one is literally getting NE sea chart and nothing else. Not repetitive at all.
  

Thoughts?

Hi all, I am writing a chat app which can play audio file in the chatscreen of the app. After updating to Expo SDK 51, the app cannot load the chatscreen with audio message (but it used to work fine when I was using Expo SDK 48). The following are the error showed in the log when I opened the chatscreen with audio message:

Also, anyone has ideas on how I can modify the function playAudio( ) as I feel strange that the loadAudio has to appear twice (The purpose of that is to make the playback to go back to time =0 after direct finished playing).
Thanks in advance!

I'm hoping to get some input into something I'm trying to get going at my job. Any advice, input, or ideas would be appreciated!
I'm a librarian assistant and do programming at my branch. I've loved kpop for a while now (TXT is my ult) and decided to try to start a kpop club. I've come up with some games (so far I've got kpop guess who, kpop bingo, and kpop charades/pictionary, as well as kpop-themed playing cards, although these might just be prizes b/c they aren't too sturdy). We'll meet once a month starting in September.
What I need help with is a sort of Ultimate Idol Group game set up and played similar to Fantasy Football, except it's based on awards show wins. Each player picks an individual member out of a group, taking turns so one person can't pick all the big winners, just like the draft in football, until they have seven members total. Each player will be responsible for tracking their members wins/loses (which I'll also be tracking to verify) and at each meeting we'll tally the current score and trade members, if desired. I'll come up with some sort of prize for the winner in January (I think that's when the last major award show in Korea is held).
So, does this sound like something kpop lovers would enjoy? Does it even make sense or sound feasible at all? Should I limit certain things - like which award shows to count or which groups are included in the draft? If players pick more than one member from one group, how should I score each win? Two points or it still only counts as one? I don't want to track every minor award and/or music show win b/c that sounds overwhelming and stressful and I don't even know how many there are. Should foreign awards be included or is that too exclusionary to bigger groups? Also, should I allow trading members or does that add in too much confusion? If they do trade, do they lose current points potentially won by the previous member?
Anyway, I was really excited by this idea, but, having never played fantasy football, I'm a little lost in the woods about how to break it down, especially with the award show aspect. If you have any advice or tips or have already spotted a giant plot-hole in the game, please let me know! Thanks in advance!!

My husband (30m) and I (29F) have been married for 5 years. Have had a long and happy relationship, together since 2016. We had the marriage everyone envied. Best friends, and we both took great care of each other. I received flowers at work regularly and he would leave me kind notes.
We have a 3 year old. During the last year my husband began sleeping in the basement and spending his free time smoking pot and playing video games. I figured he was depressed and tried to be gently supportive, still telling him often how happy and lucky I felt to have our life. We both have great jobs, a huge supportive friend group, and good families.
In January he randomly began verbally assaulting me. Telling me he wants a relationship with other specific women (a few that we are friends with who are gay?) and that he just wants a dirty kinky girl and doesn’t want to be married to me.
We started couples counseling and I started to be more sexually exploratory with him as he requested. I noticed the demands became more violent (hitting, aggressive sex, including others in our bedroom, painful toys, etc).
Before this we have always had a fun and great sex life. He says that we just weren’t having sex enough and accused me of creating a “dead bedroom”. He says married couples should have sex at least 5 times a week, and that I as his wife should make him feel WANTED by touching and coming onto him frequently.
When he screams at me he hits himself, throws things, punches things, etc. I usually cry, and plead with him to stop. He then accuses me of manipulating him into feeling guilty-saying I am crying on purpose. He then will threaten suicide.
I am genuinely so devastated at how my perfect life has turned into regular verbal assaults.
Our therapist has suggested that this seems like a case of BPD (no formal diagnosis yet) and I am just looking for any information or advice.
My husband suffered severe childhood trauma and is working through that in therapy now as he never has addressed it before. It’s so confusing, when he married me he promised me the world because his parents marriage and divorce we’re so ugly , and he never wanted to be that way. But here we are living it out.
I hate the idea of divorcing and not seeing my child every day, but I also cannot be verbally assaulted every week. I also worry about custody arrangements. I of course would want majority/primary.

Part Two: The Solitude of This Fire
Chapter 6
Location: Hust Forge. Hust Henarald's conference room
POV: Kellaras
After making Kellaras wait some days, Hust Henarald finally grants him an audience and says "One day, I will be a child again". These words seem to be nonsense to Kellaras. While waiting for his audience he noticed the Hust Forge never stops working. Henarald goes on to say we all war with two parts of ourselves and both make weapons from anything at hand. Henarald asks Kellaras if Anomander simply wants a sword or to join the Hust Legion. He doesn't think Urusander's Legion would like that very much. Kellaras says he knows the request of a sword is unusual at this time. Henarald responds by saying others will see it as political. Perhaps even a secret allegiance. Kellaras is put off balance by Henarald's pragmatic responses and then shifting into ending each with "One day I will be a child again." Henarald asks for specs and Kellaras says Anomander wants the sword to be silent. Henarald responds by asking if he would prefer a gagged weapon and if Anomander will hide it's origin. Kellaras tells Henarald that Anomander wants his swords spine to be quenched in the purity of Darkness itself. Henarald muses on power and says those with the most power have the greatest fear and that means power is meaningless and delusional. Kellaras counters that the Forulkan would have enslaved the Tiste with their power had they won, but they lost to the power of the Tiste. Henarald responds, "A triumph in solitude makes a hollow sound, and to every glory proclaimed the heavens make no answer".
Kellaras reiterates that his master requests a sword. Henarald responds "To take the blood of Darkness". Kellaras is surprised by this as Mother Dark is not Azathanai. Henarald asks how she feeds her power and if now that Anomander knows the secret of House Hust if he will use it for political gain. Kellaras says his Lord is the ultimate secret keeper. Henarald agrees to forge Anomander's sword, but requires that he be present at the quenching of it by darkness to witness if it is blood Mother Dark uses. Kellaras tells him he won't be able to see anything and leaves the chamber trembling mostly upset by Henarald's repeated assertions that he will return to childhood.
Kellaras goes to the main hall where there is feast taking place. He pushes aside his doubts and is proud that he got Henarald's agreement to make the sword. He searches out Galar Baras and finds him leaning against a pillar staring at a woman that had just entered. Kellaras sees her see Galar Baras and watches her stiffen. The woman is Toras Redone. Kellaras notes that even grimed from hard travel she is beautiful and makes his way to Galar. Galar asks if Henarald spoke to Kellaras of childhood. Kellaras says yes, but does not understand. Kellaras invites Galar to join a table and Galar accepts though he tells him he can't drink. Galar tells the captain that the childhood thing troubles them all. Kellaras asks him to call him by his name and not rank. Galar says that Henarald claims that he is losing his recent memories, but no one can see any evidence of this. Galar tells Kellaras of a sickness called Loss of Iron that afflicts smiths. Kellaras tells Galar that in his meeting Henarald was sharp and focused. No evidence of a crumbling mind. Galar asks if he will tell Anomander of this. Galar says it has no bearing on the creation of the sword and says his master would likely just say returning to childhood isn't a bad idea.
POV: Galar Baras
Kellaras gets drunk and stumbles off and now Galar has to be alone with his thoughts and heartache at the presence of Toras Redone. She was still holding court at one of the tables and after a while she shuffles over to him. She comments on her husband transferring as far away as he could. She tells Galar that he is a pariah in the citadel. That people think him arrogant and dismissive. She knows that's not him, so is puzzled. She says he should have sex with the priestesses. That celibacy is not for soldiers. He should feed his appetites. Galar responds by asking if she is well fed. The barb slides off of her and she says well enough. She says she is certain that her husband stays true to her and that leads her to infidelity. Galar does not understand this. She changes the subject and says she has missed him. She tells him to go to bed, but he knows he won't be alone for long. He compares himself to Toras Redone's husband, Calat Hustain, knowing that both spend their nights alone, "because it was in their nature to choose it: to remain alone in the absence of love"
Location: Neret Sorr
POV: Kadaspala
With Osserc and Hunn Raal gone, Kadaspala is having a more enjoyable time having dinners with Urusander. The painting however was still irritating to him. He doubts anyone will see below the surface of his painting. He is finished and will leave in the morning. "There is but one god, and its name is beauty. There is but one kind of worship, and that is love. There is for us but one world, and we have scarred it beyond recognition". Kadaspala now truly sees Urusander and is terrified. Urusander asks him why he chose to accept this request. Kadaspala says he's denied hundreds, but if anyone can prevent a civil war, it's the man in the portrait. Although his thoughts imply that that may not be the same man standing before him.
Location: House Enes lands
POV: Cryl Durav
On his short self-imposed exile from the wedding preparations, Kryl finds the antlers of a long dead Eckalla. A symbol of triumph. Cryl thinks the triumph is hollow. Hunting for food was once a necessity, but that necessity bred traditions that resulted in the extinction of this animal. Thinking back on his youth he dreamt of discovering a new world free of Tiste where he could become prey and know the thrill of fear. Enesdia was also present in these fantasies. He thinks, "He had been trained for war just as he had been taught how to hunt and how to slay, and these were deemed necessary skills in preparation for adulthood. How sad was that?".
His horse notices some movement and he sees a troop of Tiste riders approaching. This makes no sense as there is no reason for them to come here on there way to somewhere else. Cryl rides to meet them and sees that they lead a score of Jheleck children. There were no chains. The captain of the company asks why Cryl is out this far and Cryl tells him who he is. The captain breaks in and says Cryl is probably fleeing the frenzy of the coming marriage. The captain introduces himself as Scara Bandaris and says there are two reasons for him being here, one trying to figure out what to do with the Jheleck hostages and two to attend the wedding. Cryl agrees to escort them all to house Enes. Scara perceptively guesses that Cryl is out here because he is in love with Enesdia. He says he will say no more on the subject.
There are 25 Jheleck children. Scara says they will raise wolves in these children. Cryl says he's heard they are more like hounds. Scara says hostage taking may come back to bite them. Scara laughs at his own joke and forces a smile onto Cryl's face. Cryl feels a little better.
Location: House Enes
POV: Enesdia
Enesdia is upset that Cryl has been gone for a few days. She searches out her father and overdramatically asks him why they are shirking their responsibility to their hostage. She says, "For all you know he could be lying at the bottom of a well, legs shattered and dying of thirst" Jaen responds "Dying of thirst in a well?" he tells her he sent him on a search for Eckalla. She says that's a hopeless quest. Jaen says Cryl's familiar with those. Enesdia asks what he means. Jaen responds that his time with House Enes is ending. It has only now struck Enesdia that her companion will not be at her side much longer. Enesdia laments the fact that Cryl's family has only one occupation. He will be a soldier like his only living brother, Spinnock. She muses that she could ask Andarist to offer Cryl a commission in the citadel, far away from fighting. Cryl would never know, but he would be safe.
Location: House Drukorlas
POV: Orfantal
Orfantal is standing near the estate road with Wreneck, a stable boy that used to be his friend. They are also standing near an old nag horse. They have been standing for some time. They are being circled by 3 feral dogs that have smelled the food that Orfantal carries. Orfantal wished he knew why Wreneck stopped being his friend, but it seemed impossible to ask now. Orfantal has all of his possessions in a trunk. They are not much. Orfantal thinks he could fit in there too, ready to be discarded. Wreneck is 10, Orfantal is 5. His grandmother is sending him off somewhere to learn how to grow up. He knows there will be a time when unhappiness comes into his life as it does with every boy. A wagon pulls up. It will be his ride to wherever he is going. Wreneck makes sure they know that he is going to the citadel and that he is nobleborn. Wreneck tells Orfantal that the old horse is blind in her left eye, so don't let anything ride on that side of her. Orfantal says goodbye to Wreneck and Wreneck waves dismissively and leaves.
POV: Wreneck
Wreneck turns from some distance to watch them leave with tears running down his face. He resolves himself to return to the "evil hag" and now he doesn't even have Orfantal to make his life easier. Nerys Drukorlat had forbidden him from playing or even speaking to Orfantal. She would fire him if he did. His mother and father and sisters relied on his income. He wished he could have played with Orfantal this entire morning and hugged him goodbye, but he was afraid of the evil hag.
Location: Toras Keep. On the road to the Citadel
POV: Orfantal
The party makes camp and the scarred old man who loaded Orfantal's trunk says that this is likely his horse's last journey. Orfantal is sad to not even know the horses name and wonders what things she has seen in her life. He decided that she had been a warhorse and saved her rider many times, but not from the betrayal that finally killed him. The leader of the troop introduces himself to Orfantal as Haral and tells him not to call him sir. He tells him he guards merchants and that's all. Orfantal asks about bandits. Haral says there are some Deniers. Haral tells Orfantal that he will be sharing Gripp's tent. The man who took care of his horse. He says that Gripp can be trusted and not some of the other men in the party.
Haral says after this he will be joining House Dracon's houseblades. Orfantal asks if he was a soldier once. Haral says few weren't in his generation. Orfantal introduces himself. Haral asks why she named him that. His name is a Yedan dialect. The holy language of the monks, Shake. Narad, one of the guards, says it means unwanted and laughs. Haral tells him to keep his mouth shut on this journey and tells Orfantal his name doesn't mean unwanted, it means unexpected. Narad laughs again and Haral savagely kicks him in the face then punches him. He then walks away from the unconscious guard. Orfantal is trembling and his heart is beating fast. Gripp comes over and calms him down. He says it's discipline and Narad was pushing for weeks. Orfantal now has a face to put to all the faceless betrayers in his war games. Narad. Gripp shows Orfantal how to raise a tent.
Location: Within sight of Dracon's Hold
POV: Ivis
Ivis and Sandalath are riding towards the hold. Ivis tells her that Draconus will be gone for several weeks still. Her body tells him that she probably had a child, but that's none of his business. She is now a hostage at House Dracon's and she will be treated well. Sandalath asks where Draconus comes from. Ivis says even his servants do not know, but he proved his worth in the war. Ivis is upset at the discipline now presented by his houseblades and resolves to fix it. Sandalath is being led to a warm bath and thanks Ivis. He responds, "My pleasure, milady". Hilith the head of the house maids does not like him calling her a lady as she is only hostage now. She lets him know it. Ivis says, "Old woman, you are no queen to so command me. I will choose the honorific our guest deserves. She rode well and without complaint. If you have complaint, await the pleasure of our lord upon his return. In the meantime, spit out that sour grape you so love to suck on, and be dutiful." Hilith says this isn't over. Ivis responds with a command to leave his courtyard and if he hears of her being miserable to the hostage that it will in fact not be over.
Location: Dracon's Hold
POV: Sandalath
Hilith tells Sandalath to come with her to the bath. Sandalath asks if the water is hot. and asks her if there is wood ready just in case. Sandalath challenges Hilith and says she is to treat her as if she was the lady of the house. Hilith bristles but agrees. Sandalath remembers her first stint as a hostage and the horrible hag that made her life miserable until Andarist found out and got rid of her. If Hilith turns out to be the same, she will tell Draconus. A younger maid escorts her to the correct bath, not the one Hilith had prepared for her. Sandalath says if Hilith is her enemy, then Sandalath should have many allies. The maid smiles and says thousands. Sandalath asks the maid about Ivis and if she finds him handsome. She says he is old, but Sandalath doesn't think so. Sandalath tells the maid she feels welcomed by this house and feels born anew.

Hello all,
I am a huge fan of turn based RPGs and would like to find a fun strategy game to keep my interest. Here are the features I need and enjoy. I admit I normally lead more to the tactical battles in games like Final Fantasy Tactics, X-Com, Divinity Original Sin but would love to find a 4x games that has the tactical gameplay I enjoy.
What I enjoy

• Plays well with controller, plan on having Steam Deck be an option.
• Fantasy theme is very important.
• Combat focused where battles feel great to play.
• Somewhat "quick" gameplay, basically want to be able to feel like l am making decent progress even when manual battling. If possible, I would like games to be in the 5-10 hour range but I am open to longer games if the gameplay is great. Basically like 2-4 player maps.
• Unique factions and high replay value.
• Would really like a game that has great coop gameplay where watching manual battles of the other players would be fun.
• Heavy RPG focus with heroes/leaders with varied abilities/classes.

Age of Wonders 4: I just could not get into. I found the "build your own faction", kind of disappointing. Not sure why but I much prefer Shadow Magic where Frostlings and Orcs were highly varied.

• I have no idea why but I found manual battles very tedious and often auto battled. I loved manual battles in Age of Wonders Shadow Magic but that was a long times ago.

The games I am thinking about buying...
Disciples Liberation: I played Disciples 2 and had fun but not sure how this one compares. That game had a huge focus on the RPG aspects and if this would be a good option.
Songs of Conquest: This is the one I am more intrigues by right now. It just released but it really seems like it tries to take what made Heroes of Might and Magic fun while adding more in depth strategy. Looks like there is limited units and building which should make very strategic choices. Also spellcasting seems really interesting. I am very tempted to get this game but curious about others.
Spellforce: Conquest of Eo: From what I read it seems really interesting, but I heard there is only one map. This sounds very boring to me but maybe this has changed. Not sure if they added any smaller maps.
TLDR: I am looking to find a fun combat focused fantasy 4x game with controller support. I also like a lot of RPG focus with character building. I am open to any suggestions.

I've been through the docs, but I'm not quite seeing how I can fully turn off transparency.
To be clear on why I want to do this, I'm making a 3D platformer in a block-based environment. My early draft for the material for those blocks was slightly transparent, which was physically accurate and works fine on my desktop; but the effect is quickly lost when they're stacked and I don't like the idea of unnecessary overdraw.
The material now uses a text shader directly. I understand that `blend_mix` is the default, and the documentation doesn't directly say anything about any kind of `blend_off` render mode. My alpha is always 1.0 now. Is it already truly opaque with no unnecessary checks, or is there a different setting I can add? I want this game to be playable on the widest range of hardware possible, so if it's still doing the alpha check but using 1.0 each time, it isn't ideal.
To be clear, depth check is good, but transparency overlay bad. I'm not sure if I'm burning calculations on it or not.
Here's my render mode line:
render_mode blend_mix,depth_draw_always,cull_back,diffuse_burley,specular_schlick_ggx;
Removing `blend_mix` gives me the same behavior, but if it's the default then that's probably why. I'm just not sure what it's doing here.

how does the timeline in gfn really work? (specifically season 2)
in the end of the episode “Pregnant”, Yuri’s red ribbon is seen, and the message “see you soon” was written in blood (i’m assuming that’s what it was) on a wall, hinting at the idea of a new character. that’s the first time we see anything about her
in episode “Minnie and the Four Bodies”, Yuri is seen a few times, like talking to Minnie’s dad about the photos, taunting Minnie to jump off the balcony, but specifically at the end, where she sees Nanno and says “surprise!”. it seems like they knew each other.. it also seemed like Yuri had powers
but in episode “Yuri”, the words “3 months before” are shown. and towards the end, Yuri dies i think, but she consumes Nanno’s blood, causing her to become basically what Nanno is. was she a regular human before?? it wouldn’t really make sense that she was but that’s what it seems like
i’m just super confused about the timeline here. it would make sense that the episode order would be Yuri, Pregnant, and the Minnie episode. i’m just wondering if Yuri knew Nanno beforehand? i’m not good with wording things, i can answer any questions people have, as long as you bc an answer mine too 😭

I have been working at a big company for 1.5 years now part time while doing my master's. My job is software development. This is my first professional job.I'm particularly good at the frontend side of things and find myself do my tasks quite well. I obviously make mistakes here and there but that's part of the job. I try nonetheless to polish my skills and I have learnt lots of stuff in this job and grew some confidence in my craft. The team I work for basically tries to solve or support in new ideas in form of design, POCs, MVPs and other stuff. Our development team is small. We are four who actually code and one tech lead with a decade of software development experience. He doesn't code anything though but just reviews code and is very opinionated. He always wants to have winning word. I'm constantly being asked by him to wear different hats. I find myself thrown on AI, backend, DevOps or frontend work. Sometimes I get tasks that are really difficult that I soend days and never get anything when I ask him he also doesn't know. He asks me to work in stuff that I have expressed multiple time I'm not interested in. In my view, I want to be focused on something so that I can good at it. Then I can explore other things. He recently asked to take mentor new commers and take more responsibility. Is this normal part time work or is it too much for someone my experience. I don't know what to do. I can't tell you how many times I doubted myself because I'm being assigned tasks way out of experience. I successful finish them most of the time but I take so much time resulting in me working until late at night. I can't quit I need money for now.

Mentions - Empty Orchestra, Tom & Gerri
Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do) is the song Duane sings in Empty Orchestra - which I just enjoyed rewatching (love this episode, and Javone Prince's performance and dancing is great!)
Anyway, I got the song stuck in my head and really started listening to the lyrics. Then I realized, after learning about Reece and Steve's time on the dole (interview here - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=toH_GNuWgxE) that it was probably a favourite song of theirs during that time.
The time they spent on the dole inspired the play they were writing which included the character Pauline and eventually turned into the Tom & Gerri episode. They were sharing a flat, prior to the production of League of Gentlemen, and they said that it was rather miserable and they spent a lot of time playing board games "...drained of all their life energy." "Can't be bothered to leave the flat," "What's it worth going out for?"
George Michael wrote the song because he was given an ultimatum from his father "get yourself a job or get out of this house." He rapped about "the joys of living every day to the fullest, reveling in unemployment and celebrating government assistance."
So then, I can just imagine, Reece and Steve in their dingy little flat, on the dole, Reece just got back from being yelled at and told he's dolescum by someone resembling "Pauline," and they're sitting down to play a game of Escape from Colditz. (Has anyone played this by the way!? I imagine Reece as the Security Officer and Steve as the Escape Officer!) Furthermore, in this game there is such a thing as a "Do or Die" card (interestingly named, for someone to be playing this while on the dole). Anyway, after playing their game, I imagine them feeling glum, and then one of them puts on Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do) and they both start ironically singing and dancing to it.
Isn't it wonderful, when you really think about it, how those difficult and "miserable" times led to the masterpieces we cherish today? Their struggles and their perseverance through adversity were not in vain. Instead, these challenging periods gave rise to works of art that continue to inspire and move us.
This realization serves as a poignant reminder that even in the darkest chapters of our lives, there lies an opportunity for growth and transformation. When we find ourselves at a low point, it’s essential to remember that the only direction to move is upwards. For creators, these low points are not just obstacles to be overcome but are often the very catalysts that ignite their most profound and impactful works.
So, if you are facing a difficult time, take heart. Embrace the potential for growth and creativity that these moments can offer. Your struggles today could be the seeds of tomorrow's masterpieces.
After all, "You got soul."
Here are the lyrics:
Wham! bam! I am! a man! Job or no job, You can't tell me that I'm not. Do! you! Enjoy what you do? If not, just stop! Don't stay there and rot! You got soul... You got soul... I said get, get, get on down, Said get, get, get, on down. Hey everybody take a look at me, I've got street credibility, I may not have a job, But I have a good time, With the boys that I meet down on the line I said, I - don't - need - you So you don't approve, Well who asked you to? Hey, jerk, you, work This boy's got better things to do Hell, I ain't never gonna work, get down in the dirt, I choose, to cruise. Gonna live my life, sharp as a knife, I've found my groove and I just can't lose. A.1. style from head to toe, Cool cat flash gonna let you know, I'm a soul boy - I'm a dole boy, Take pleasure in leisure, I believe in joy! Wham! bam! I am! a man! Job or no job, You can't tell me that I'm not. Do! you! Enjoy what you do? If not, just stop! Don't stay there and rot! Party nights, and neon lights, We hit the floors, we hit the heights. Dancing shoes, and pretty girls. Boys in leather kiss girls in pearls! Hot-damn! everybody, let's play! So they promised you a good job - no way! One, two, three, rap! C'mon everybody, don't need this crap!
If you're a pub man Or a club man Maybe a jet black guy with a hip hi-fi A white cool cat with a trilby hat Maybe leather and studs is where you're at Make the most of every day Don't let hard times stand in your way Give a wham give a bam but don't give a damn Cos the benefit gang are gonna pay! Now reach up high and touch your soul, The boys from wham! will help you reach that goal. It's gonna break your mama's heart, (so sad) It's gonna break your daddy's heart, (too bad) But you'll throw the dice and take my advice, Because I know that you're smart. Can you dig this thing? Yeah! Are you gonna get down? Yeah! Say wham! Wham! Say bam! Bam! Wham! bam! I am! a man! Job or no job, You can't tell me that I'm not. Do! you! Enjoy what you do? If not, just stop! Don't stay there and rot!

TL;DR Dev Update communicated the map changes but not the logic behind them. Seems like this would be beneficial to include so the community has some idea what the Dev's reasoning behind map pool rotations is.
After seeing the Dev Update, briefly pausing to cry for the loss ofmy beloved Split and then cry tears of joy about my also beloved Haven, I got to thinking about how random the map changes seem to be.
I think we, as a community, understand why Breeze was rotated out, and that's coming from someone who actually enjoys the map but definitely can see it's flaws and why many think it is unfun to watch and play.
What truly doesn't make sense to me is why Split is (tied with Breeze as) the first map to be rotated out twice.
Bind just recently came back in, so makes sense why that stays.
Ascent has been out since the end of beta and has somehow never been rotated out, even with the meta on it becoming the most stale in the game.
Lotus has never been rotated out, and my first thought was that perhaps they think a year and a half is too short for a map to be in before rotating? Upon some quick digging, though, I saw that Pearl was rotated out in less time (introduced June 2022, rotated out August 2023), so that theory doesn't seem to hold water.
Is it because they want to take out maps that they think need a rework? I would struggle to understand this as well. If this were the case then it seems hard to believe when Icebox and Sunset (with its B post plant meta) are still being left in the pool, as these maps along with Breeze seem in most need of work.
I think these questions aren't too complicated to answer, so it's a bit disappointing to see a Dev Update where their goal is to communicate more with the community, but they don't communicate the logic behind their decisions.
Furthermore, I struggle to see the reasoning behind the maps they are reintroducing to the pool. Most people seem to enjoy Haven, so I think the general community is happy it's coming back. But why does it come back after 6 months when Fracture and Pearl are yet to come back after over a year and a half? Is it because they are still working on changing the maps? Is it just based off community sentiment? Do the devs think the maps don't align with their gameplay philosophies? I'm not saying there isn't a reason, but the devs explaining that reason would have been a great inclusion in the Dev Update.

What do you think an ideal society would like, what elements would it contain, what things need to exist in it and what things would it be devoid of and how would all those ideas be possible and make sense in a setting.
For me personally it would be something close to the shire from middle earth, minimalistic government where people kinda are just chill and good hearted on their own without law needed to be enforced, not a super giant advanced futuristic utopia rather a pre-industrial peaceful simplistic existence where people just chill out,eat,drink,smoke weed, have fun hobbies co-exist in harmony and only possess what they need to live a contempt, comfortable and cozy life where social heirarchy isnt that prevalent and society overall has a homely vibe.
What would your ideas be for such a society?

Abby put up her posters around camp the night before. One at the entrance of the arena, forge, medic cabin, armory, and a few other strategic places. She had planned on making a scarf for herself, but then she had the idea to invite other people, so she signed up to host it as an activity. Maybe she could make a few new friends this way, too.
Join me in the arts and crafts cabin for knitting lessons on Tuesday at 12:45pm. Make your own scarf, hat, or blanket! Snacks and drinks will be provided!
Abby had learned pretty quickly that the key to getting stuff from the camp store was to just be polite and ask nicely. Which was good, because she didn't have any drachmas whatsoever. Maybe she should sign up for a job sometime. She hadn't left camp at all since she'd arrived nearly a month ago. On a job, she'd be able to get out for a bit and maybe even make a friend.
The hour before the lesson was set to start, she gathered up baskets of yarn and knitting needles from around the arts and crafts cabin and set them on each table. Next came the snacks. Chips, pretzels, and cheese puffs, along with bottles of water and soda to wash them down. When other kids started to show up, she began showing them how to make their first stitches.
"You wrap it around the needle like this," she said, demonstrating with her own. "To make the stitch, you interlock them like this."
Before long, the kids that had showed up were making their first few rows of stitches. Abby felt proud that she had come this far, that she could teach others and have them be successful. She grabbed a bag of chips from the table and munched on them as she worked on her own scarf. It would have a bright orange base with the phases of the moon in the center, done in black. The full moon, half moons, quarter moons, and crescent moons would extend out from the middle. It was a bit of a complex idea, especially for knitting, but she was excited to see how it would turn out.
"Don't hesitate to ask if you have questions," she said to the room at large.

When the price goes up the amount the shorter must have on hand to cover that short at all times goes up, so when we hold our position and buy up the short sellers sales they cause the price to go up in that process and we also do, so this causes the other short sellers who have more capital to have to do the same thing. So the idea of short squeezing is to take all the capital from a company and force them to sell or they will have to declare bankruptcy once the price is to much, for example...
​
if they have 100 bucks and they short a stock for say 1 dollar a share and short 50 of them so half. Now if the price goes up from other investors also buying and making the stock hit 3 bucks a share, the shorter now has to cover 150 but they only have 50 left from after the short so they call upon other shorters and ask to borrow their shares, to be able to cover.
​
If you do this for a long enough time what happens is there are no more shares left to borrow or buy and the price rockets as all the shorters MUST cover their shorts and that is pretty much how it happens.
Just wondering if I am getting this correct now.

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm RBS, a self-improvement coach, and I've got something special to offer you, absolutely free—no strings attached.
But before I dive into that, let me share a little secret with you. Just a year ago, my life was pretty tough. Every day seemed clouded with negative thoughts, and my relationships, both with myself and others, were strained. Feeling alone and worthless was my norm, and I settled for less because I couldn't believe I deserved any better. It felt like a hopeless cycle.
I was constantly worried that no matter how hard I tried, I'd never measure up. This fear kept me tossing and turning at night. I tried improving myself, but it felt like I was stuck in an uphill battle with no end in sight. I started questioning if all the effort was even worth it. At times, it seemed like my fate was sealed by what I was born with—like success was reserved for the naturally gifted.
But then, something incredible happened about a year ago. Thanks to the grace of Allah (God), my life took a turn. Now, I chase my dreams with an unparalleled drive, exuding confidence and energy like never before! Today, I'm happier and more accomplished than I ever thought possible.
So, what changed in that year? It was surprisingly simple... I stumbled across my mentor.
But why a mentor, you might ask? Having a mentor was a game-changer for me. It wasn't just about getting directions; my mentor provided priceless feedback, drawing from his own life experiences. He has been through it all and knows what worked. When things got tough, he was there to give me that extra push and remind me of my potential...
So, if you're feeling stuck, consider seeking guidance from a mentor. Someone who's been in your shoes and can help you navigate the path ahead.
That's why I'm passionate about mentoring others for free! As a self-improvement coach, I'm dedicated to helping young men transform their lives and become the best versions of themselves. I draw from various sources like books, podcasts, studies, philosophy, and personal research.

Hello! I’m a DM for a westmarch server, and I’m designing the boss of the latest “arc.” I had the idea of something like Geto from JJK, a boss that can both fight on his own, and also can summon enemies on the fly. How would you all, better DMs than I am, make/run an encounter like that? I’m looking for it to be ~CR 9/10

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm RBS, a self-improvement coach, and I've got something special to offer you, absolutely free—no strings attached.
But before I dive into that, let me share a little secret with you. Just a year ago, my life was pretty tough. Every day seemed clouded with negative thoughts, and my relationships, both with myself and others, were strained. Feeling alone and worthless was my norm, and I settled for less because I couldn't believe I deserved any better. It felt like a hopeless cycle.
I was constantly worried that no matter how hard I tried, I'd never measure up. This fear kept me tossing and turning at night. I tried improving myself, but it felt like I was stuck in an uphill battle with no end in sight. I started questioning if all the effort was even worth it. At times, it seemed like my fate was sealed by what I was born with—like success was reserved for the naturally gifted.
But then, something incredible happened about a year ago. Thanks to the grace of Allah (God), my life took a turn. Now, I chase my dreams with an unparalleled drive, exuding confidence and energy like never before! Today, I'm happier and more accomplished than I ever thought possible.
So, what changed in that year? It was surprisingly simple... I stumbled across my mentor.
But why a mentor, you might ask? Having a mentor was a game-changer for me. It wasn't just about getting directions; my mentor provided priceless feedback, drawing from his own life experiences. He has been through it all and knows what worked. When things got tough, he was there to give me that extra push and remind me of my potential...

I had a wonderful childhood. I couldn't have asked for a better one. My parents, brother, family, ... so much love in my life.
As I got older, I started to become exposed to the harsh realities of life. The people closest to me and the ones I loved the most started to get sick and pass away. I lost my dog. Life wasnt the same. And later, was diagnosed with Crohns which had a massive impact on my life and self confidence. I felt like a lab rat.. so many tests, doctor visits, medicine, diets, needles, ... eventually extensive surgery.
Luckily, after years of torture, I made it out ok. I started to build back my confidence, and was optimistic about the future. Before I knew it, I met the love of my life. I felt so extremely lucky to have you in my life. It felt like a dream. I felt that after all that pain and loss, I had finally had something good happen to me.
As time we on, we became best friends. You confessed your love to me, said I was different than all the rest, and you saw a future with me. You expressed how special I was to you. I felt the same way.
We met eachothers families, who became so close with eachother. I truly loved your family, they felt like home. My family loved you so much... my parents loved you like a daughter, and I knew you loved them too. We had everyone's support and love. We were the golden couple. We grew and experiences so much together. Bought our first house, saw the world, new jobs, school, ... Everyone was so proud of us, and we were proud of eachother.
Somewhere along the way, you started seeking outside the relationship for attention. I knew you were very social, so at first, I was happy to see you making friends. I knew you had a difficult childhood and past, and didn't have many good friends, so I was very supportive and encouraged you to do things with your friends.
We were inseparable. Always going things together, planning trips, going on adventures. Everything was easy. We enjoyed eachothers company so much. We made eachother laugh, feel loved, and safe. We were so comfortable and open, goofy with eachother, and always so intimate.
We shared a lot of the same hobbies: plants/garden, camping, trails, video games, movies, travel, outdoors, relaxing at home, ... it didn't seem to matter what we were doing, we were happy together.
I loved making you smile and laugh. I loved seeing you happy doing what you loved, or eating a meal I'd prepare for you.
I always wanted you to have the best. Since you were in school, I provided for you. Food, toys, restaurants, trips, ... whatever you wanted. I wanted to give you the world. It felt so good to make you happy.
You would tease me and hint towards wanting to get engaged. After 3 years, it happened. We were so happy, and you were so excited and happy to share the big news. We started planning our wedding, moved into a bigger house, new jobs, everything felt good.
I never expected to love someone so much. This young woman brought so much love, happiness, and adventure into my life. She completed changed everything. Everything was so easy.. effortless.. felt right.
When we moved into your dream home, things became more stressful. The house needed a lot of work, as well as the property. Regardless, we were willing and eager to tackle projects together and were excited to make things our own.
As time went on, and school/work seemed to become more stressful for you, I was left finishing a lot of our projects and maintaining them by myself. I also stepped up and started trying to take on more of the chores and responsibilities so that you could focus on school/work and still have time to relax. I was happy to help give you some relief.
After a few months, your brother asked to be our roommate for a time. I was hesitant, but you encouraged me that it would be a good thing. He would pay and help around the house. At first, it was nice. However, as time we on, it became more and more stressful.
The stress of doing everything and having a roommate that didn't mesh well with us overwhelmed me. I knew it was temporary, so I endured it.
One day, you came home from your new job and expressed what a good day you had.. that you had the chance to work with a different doctor, and that he was very fun and nice. I was so happy to hear it, since I knew you hadn't been having good days and people had been difficult. I was glad you seemed to have a mentor.
You started to have more good days than bad, working with this person more and more. You started talking to me about them more, sharing things you learned and talked with him about. As time went on, I started to feel a bit jealous. You had been spending more time with this person than me... your shifts were long, and I hadn't been seeing you as much. You started even talking to our parents about this person.
I started to notice you texting him while we were at home together. I'd ask, and you'd happily share whatever it was you guys were talking about. One evening, you were texting this doctor late at night. I approached you about this, and expressed how it was making me feel. I felt that it had started to become too much, and wasn't appropriate. I didn't like the idea of this older married man communicating with my young fiance so much. I expressed that I was happy that you had a friend at work, but felt that it was becoming too personal and inappropriate. You tried to reassure me that you were just friends, and that he was old and married, you would never be attracted to him. I stood firm and expressed that I would like for you to only communicate while at work, or for work related matters. You agreed and assured me it was nothing.
As time went on, I noticed you would sometimes hide your phone, turn it away, flip it upside down, or turn it off as I walked by. At first, I thought it was just me being paranoid. But as time went on, it started to mess with my head... otherwise, everything was good, so I told myself it was nothing. You started to enjoy that type of work and decided to join his practice. I was happy you were able to make up your mind and find something you enjoyed. Time went on. At some point, you needed an invasive procedure done... and you requested that doctor complete it. I didn't love the idea, but you preferred to have someone do it that you trusted. After that, the doctor seemed to be a thing of the past.
As the wedding date approached, the excitement increased. We had everything planned out and we were so excited for our big day. I saw how happy you were throughout the whole process. I couldn't believe our big day was right around the corner.
Our wedding was like a dream. Everything came together so nicely. We had the best night of our lives. I loved seeing you so happy with our friends and family there to celebrate with us. We went on a wonderful honeymoon and I felt so loved and appreciated.
Once we returned home, our roommate left, and stress started to decrease dramatically in the house. I was so relieved. You finished school, graduated, and I threw you a big surprise party to celebrate. I had always put together parties for all your special occasions, and I knew you really appreciated that. After so many nights helping you study, it felt wonderful to see you walk across that stage and finally finish.
You shortly after moved to a different hospital, and seemed to really like your new job and everyone there. Life was so good...
The house and our list of responsibilities and all the maintenance was still a lot, but I felt we were quickly starting to knock things off our list.
One week, you started working a lot... I hardly saw you that week. We'd always text and check in, saying we loved eachother, missed eachother, and looked forward to seeing eachother. When the weekend finally arrived, you had mentioned your best friend invited you to join her for girl time. I realized you hadn't seen her much lately and encouraged it.
That weekend, my grandmother had been struggling. I felt alone in our big house and had wished you were there. We checked in on eachother while you were gone. I was expecting you to return one evening, so I had dinner prepared. I was hurt when you didn't arrive and decided to stay another night with your friend.
When I saw you the next morning, I was feeling pretty down. I was already sad about my grandmother, but also felt like an after thought that week. You were so happy to see me, which was nice. We had a nice evening, spent time together, .. you never stopped telling me you loved me.
The next day after work, I got home, and you seemed so cold and distant. You seemed bothered by something. I checked in, asked if you needed anything, then went about my day. It seemed like you wanted space. I checked in every few hours, and you were busy doing something on your laptop.
I prepared dinner and started watching TV. I encouraged you to take a break, eat, and relax some before bed. You joined me on the couch, but was quiet and explained that you had some work to finish.
As it got late, I went up to bed. You explained you'd be up a little longer while you finished your work. As the hours went by, I thought it was so odd that you weren't in bed yet. I knew you had to get up early... sleep was always such a priority. I got up to check on you and to get some water. You were still on your laptop.. I noticed you were looking at rooms to something. I encouraged you to get some sleep. You joined me, looking exhausted.
We cuddled, said we loved eachother, then fell asleep. The next morning, I finished getting ready for work while you slept. As I was getting ready to leave, I sae your laptop. I decided to check and see what you were looking at... another air bnb for a trip? I was curious. We shared the laptop, so I didn't feel like I was invading her privacy.
I opened the laptop and saw apartments. I was so confused. I checker her email.. apartments. I noticed she had Facebook messenger up with recent messages. I checked... my world turned upside down. Those seconds felt like eternity as my heart sounded and my stomach sank. I read a message to a friend saying she wanted a divorce, never loved me, felt like a stranger in her house, dreaded coming home to me, ... that she loved a doctor.. he's married, but his wife is a lesbian. That was easily the worst moment of my life. I panicked and didn't know what to do... I was in shock. After a few minutes, I decided to address this with you.
I quietly walked up the stairs, sat on the edge of the bed, and calmly woke you up. You were sleepy, asking why I woke up.. you still had about 30m before work. I apologized for waking you.. As I looked at you silently, I started to cry. I quietly said "I know...". "I saw the messages". She looked back at me in shock.. eyes wide in the dark. I asked if she had been having an affair. She said no.. then started to look at me as if I wad a stranger. It was a terrible feeling.
You got up to get ready for work, and said we'd talk later that evening. You left. I was standing in the driveway and felt sick. I wasn't sure if I could make it to work.. but being at the house was making me feel worse, so I left. I didn't eat anything that while day. While at work, I prepared myself for our talk.
When we both got home, you pulled up to the house and started to pack some things while I sat on the couch. When you finally joined me, you were quiet.. asked about my day, I asked about yours.. then more silence. I asked what you needed from me. You explained that you were feeling very anxious, and didn't want me to get upset. You said you were going to stay with a friend for a few days to clear your head and wanted to talk once we were both rested.
You left for almost a week while I stayed in our big empty house, taking care of our pets, and completely confused and dead inside. I hardly ate or slept. I desperately started reading and watching whatever information I could find to help explain what was happening and to prepare myself. I spent most of my time thinking, reflecting on our life. I started tonrealize how stressed I had been... and thought about all the things I should/could have done differently. I knew I treated her so well, but no one is perfect.
Looking back, I started to think about all the red flags. Love is blind. I truly loved, trusted, and cared for this person more than anyone in the world. I thought she felt the same way... I never imagined us seperating.
I started to think of that doctor she used to talk about.. and realized she probably never stopped talking to him. I started to realize that my wife had stopped opening up to me... was no longer emotional or vulnerable... her emotional? affair started to kill the emotional intimacy between us.
I was happy just to have her in my life and enjoyed just being with her... she never expressed or talked about being unhappy... if I had known, I feel certain that we could have fixed whatever was lacking. I would have met whichever needs werent being met.
Were you lonely while I was busy working hard for us? Was she bored? I would have happily planned more outings... whenever I suggested something, you expressed that you were tired or didn't show interest. I knew you enjoyed time alone, so I never felt bad doing my own thing. I figured you would tell me of you needed or felt something...
I was so confused... started to question what was real. When did this all start? Why? How? Terrible thoughts entered my mind... so many late shifts, staying the night at the hospital, leaving early to get the air bnbs ready, ...
I also realized that towards the end, you had suddenly started to listen to different music, got a nose piercing, tattoo, talked about signing up for a sport, working out, ... these were all things I knew you had wanted to do for awhile, but it was all so sudden.
Why didn't you ever communicate... I recall you expressing your concern with my stress, but nothing else. I felt that my stress was reasonable considering everything I was doing.. and knew it was temporary. I didn't ignore it though. I saw a therapist, and started making changes. Was it all too late?
When we finally spoke again, it was so nice to just see you. We sat and you were so friendly and sweet - it reassured me that everything was going to be ok. We made small talk and joked, which immediately lightened the mood. You suggested I spoke first. I expressed my feelings and how important the marriage was.. that I'd so anything to save it. I took responsibility for my side of things and expressed the changes I had made and would continue to make. When you started, you expressed that you would always cherish our time together, but we're set on divorce. That we both deserved to be truly happy. Shortly after, you left.
The days after, you started packing your things while I was at work. I was living in a big empty house, every day getting more and more empty. I was a complete mess living in hell. Her family started to reach out to me and shower me with support, apologies, and disbelief. No one could make sense of this.
After a week or so, I couldn't take it any more, so I moved to stay with my parents while we finished moving out. I attempted to stay cordile through all this. You seemed so unphased and happy... texting me and talking to me like we were still best friends.
You explained that you felt bad for saying you never loved me... that you did, but not in the way a wife should love their husband. That it could be years, but in the future, I could count on you.
As time went on, and the pain increased, I was more distant. You texted more and more. Finally, I suggested that we limit communication unless she was interested in working on our marriage.
As the days went by, you grew colder and irritated.. I started to feel like the bad guy. I know you started to feel the weight of your decisons, and starred to project onto me. Making me the bad guy made you feel better. I attempted to end things on a good note... being helpful throughout the move out process, but you were so cold. It hurt so much... 5 wonderful years tossed aside like it never mattered.
I havent talked to you in weeks... I miss my best friend, my love, your family, our pets, and the wonderful life we built. I'm left trying to pickup the pieces. I feel so lost, confused, broken, ...
The tremendous amount of support I've gotten from both sides has helped a lot. I'm seeing a therapist, reading a lot, eating more, working out, and focusing on my self. The days are getting better, but I still have days where I am a mess.
I havent been sleeping well... always tired. Waking up several times, terrible nightmares and thoughts of you being with another man... I still have believe you would be capable of all this.. of hurting me so much.
I have urges to reach out to you... wanting to fix this, that there must be a misunderstanding... there are so many things I'd like to say. I got complacent and comfortable during our time together. I stopped doing the little things as often as I used to... I never meant to hurt you, make you feel lonely, unloved, unappreciated, ... whatever it is you felt. It's difficult for me to accept that my sweet innocent wife was capable of this... surely there was a reason?? I was just so caught up in my list of things... I was working so hard for our future.
I feel like my wife was manipulated by this man... why does an older doctor (20 years older) have a lesbian wife? He doesn't love her like she seems to think... he is using her. I feel sorry for her... I know there is no future there.
I've done a lot of reading on Attachment Styles, Limerence, love addiction, and other things that come as a result of childhood trauma. I feel like a lot of this has to do with her trauma... but also her selfishness and emotional immaturity. There is nothing I can do. I just pray she figures things out on her own, finds longlasting happiness, and puts an end to this cycle.
I would love it if we were able to reconnect in the future... I still deeply love and care for her. I don't want our story to end... none of this feels right. My gut is screaming that this is all wrong. I just know we both need to work on ourselves for the time being.
One day I had it all, the next, it crashed down before my eyes. Meeting you was the best thing to happen to me... you leaving was the worst. You rushed out of my life so quickly... I wish things were different.
