Ever thought about giving up, or maybe rebuilt a relationship after it seemed broken?

Yes, but the wife and I made a deal the day we got married, either one of us could leave at anytime no questions asked!! Oh but the one that left had to take the kids when they went, been together for 32 YEARS!!!!! :jester:

^ yeah, you looking for personal advice? I think everyone has had relationship issues. Many married couples go through highs and lows and go to counseling.

Tried for years to satisfy my Ex. Offered to go to counseling and everything. She never wanted to. Ended up divorced. Best thing that could have happened. I have a shit ton less stress in my life.

Life has a lot of ups and downs.

In a marriage if the downs are more than the ups and the pattern continues, life can be undesirable.

Only you will know if it's worth continuing the relationship. :happysad:

First marriage never should've happened and did for all the wrong reasons.

 

Second marriage I came into with a learning curve and some wisdom. Of course, ups and downs are part of the territory, but it's (most) of those times that make it easier. Besides, make up sex is better than scheduled sex! LOL

 

Don't give up unless you've tried every avenue .......

Bad times happen in every relationship, its how you handle them that makes or breaks you. Like others mentioned, there should be more good time than bad. When you do go through tough times, it makes you appreciate the good times. Ultimately you have to decide if the issue(s) are too big to continue.

Mine (the marriage) has been almost 39 years, together 42. It's not always easy but the best advice I can say is you never ever go to bed angry. And that worked for about the first 15 maybe 20 years. Then we had to amend it... Never ever wake up angry. What happened yesterday is yesterday. Leave it, don't touch it, don't argue about... it if you didn't say anything about it yesterday today is a new day leave it.

 

And so far that works. ;)

36 years for me. I would not trade her for anything. We have everything in common and that is what drew me to her in the first place. We both did not want to have kids, we love our GM cars and trucks, like keeping them and our house spotless. You have to find the rite person I guess. Oh and Ryan, my wife makes our lawn look like a ball park. Since I am a big Niners fan we call it "The Stick".

I got drawn to my wife by her smile in high school. She was always smiling. I've spent 42 years working to see that smile, cheesy I know. The best friend thing is true. When people ask how do you know I tell them as soon as you can get in a car and take trip the longer the better. At the end you'll know.

Don't worry about it, trade her in for a new one and things will be better.

Exactly what I did. Worked out perfectly. [emoji1]

None that I'm still married to.

 

That's why they invented lawyers.

 

30 years with the last one and we get along great, and unless God forbid she passes away she will be the last one.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
