I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to.

Is the 50 gi a cut down 50 ae? Does it share the same case dimensions otherwise? I know 50 gi operates at a much lower pressure I'm curious to know if I could cut down 50 ae brass and make my own higher pressure 50 gi?

Thanks

Anyone experience this? So a year ago I looked at my dad body after a 4 year relationship ended and said fuck this no more. Been dedicated to the gym and fitness for the last year. I've transformed my 35 year old dad bod and I think I look pretty good now. I get compliments from a lot of people and it really has changed my life.
My dad is visiting me this week and fitness has almost always been a part of his life he has ran over 10 marathons. He usually is my biggest supporter. However he keeps giving me backhanded remarks about lifting and it feels like he is.knocking it.
I work in yachting in south Florida and the other day my dad says to me you know you shouldn't keep lifting so much. People might start to look at you like your some dumb meat head. I looked at him like what the fuck? I said I don't think people think that about me. I don't dress or act that way. I think people will see that I'm a hard worker, dedicated and motivated to be the best me I can be.

There have been other comments he has made this past week that are similar. Has anyone else experience this from family members on your fitness journey? It bothers me because usually he is my biggest supporter.

New here.

I figured I'd share my recent breakup story with someone who I suspect is avoidant.
I met this woman through a mutual work friend. We hit it off immediately and started seeing each other 2 days every weekend. I wasn't super into her at first because after getting out of a long term toxic relationship 9 months prior mostly because I was scared to get to invested again. This changed quickly however as we spent more time together. I believe we both felt we had a great connection, attraction, we were very intimate and close. Every weekend we would go on nice dates and stay over at each others houses. We both seemed to have so much fun together.
To get to the point of this around two and a half months it seemed like we were officially in a relationship she called me her boyfriend out in public and to her parents on the phone but we never really had the discussion. It was sort of weird like she was afraid of talking about it with me even though she would say it to others.
At 3 1/2 months she texted me in the day and said there is something I need to tell you tonight when I see you. She tells me she loves me for the first time while we are in bed together that night and I say it back to her. I genuinely meant it.
At 4 months it was my birthday and I wanted to spend it with her. I went to her house she made me cupcakes, put a giant sign in the wall, made me dinner and we had a great time. Honestly it was the nicest birthday I think I have ever had in my 35 years at least as an adult. No woman has ever been that sweet to me for my birthday. She also bought all the supplies for an Easter basket for my daughter who is two and half. It was really thoughtful. We spent that that Friday and Saturday together then I had to leave Sunday for a three week work trip. Later on Sunday I texted her say how nice that all was and how I was so happy to have her in my life.
No response. Monday night I call her and she was upset and didn't want to talk and kinda rude. She said she just wasn't feeling chatty. I was like ok no problem and let her go. She then apologized profusely via text message and I told her again it's no problem we hall have days like that.

Over the course of the next ten days she was distant not her normal chatty self she would send me a picture of take out, out of nowhere with no context. When I replied back to her messages she wouldn't get back to me for like 24 hours. I knew something was up but I was super confused. Eventually on day ten I texted her and said hey I'm not sure what's going on but I really value consistent communication. She told me she respected me for that but said that she doesn't feel she can continue because she can't give me what I need and that she is sorry because I'm a great partner. In my head I'm like I've never really even told you what I need? I just wanted us to communicate like normal adults or somewhat similar to how we communicated the previous 4 months. I was upset and said I don't want to split but if that's what she wants then please don't contact me so I can try and heal and move one. No response. Two days later I felt like an asshole for cutting her off so I told her I'm sorry if I came off as too pushy or demanding and that I'd like to leave the door open to her if she feels ready to try something again. Two days later she tells me that she just needs a little space and that she doesn't not want to ever speak to me again.
I told her take all the time and space you need :)
We went a little over a month with no communication. Last Sunday she sent me a screenshot of a job listing that had some unique characteristics that I would like. I have a good job but and don't plan on changing but I guess she thought I would like it. I replied back hey, that's really cool . No reply after that.

This is the weirdest breakup I've ever had. Usually I'll go through a break up when things aren't good and I kinda see it coming. This happened right when things seemed to be getting really good. It's a total mind fuck.

Anyways I've just been working on myself, work, gym, got new place to live, I've gotten back into some hobbies that I've neglected and I'm starting to feel really good again.
I post on my insta stories a few times a week and she watches them all. I don't watch any of hers I want to give her that space she wants.
At the beginning I was truly heart broken and wanted her back but now idk. I'm more curious as to what the fuck is going on in her thoughts to do all that.
I want the best for her and hope she is doing well. I'm not holding out any hope that we will get back together or even have a connection again.

Anyways that's my rambling story. Sorry for the bad grammar and spelling.

Let me know your thoughts
Cheers
