I’ve loved my Lyriq so far, my only disappointment is the charging curve. Peeking at 190 and being able to hold it for barely 5 minutes and then falling off a cliff, it’s just not enough for longer road trips.
Is there any insight as to how that might improve with the next generation Lyriq, either peak charge rate or time to 80% SOC times?
Rewind to December of 2024, I matched with a woman on Tinder. Super cute. Had kids, a good education and was down for pretty much anything. I planned all the dates, took care of logistics, etc etc etc.
Fall of 2025 rolls around, and we’re talking about what a future might look like, how we’d want to live together, what that could potentially look like and we’re starting to share expenses (I’m covering the cost of streaming services and splitting grocery bills because I make way more than her and I was staying at her place the weeks she didn’t have kids).
Everything is going great. I get along with her family, her kids and her friends. My kids have met the immediate people on her side and every is getting along.
We are aligned on how we communicate, how we want to handle disagreements, how we’d manage finances, how we’d support each other if things were difficult, how we’d divide and conquer the day to day if we lived together, and how we’d always promise to talk things out instead of shutting down.
I’m thinking she might be the one. I’m thinking I have finally found my person.
Fast-forward to Mother’s Day 2026. I made a brief comment about not being a big fan of the Kardashians (I’m paraphrasing). Her daughter loses her mind and starts yelling at me about how they’ve done all these great things. I’m sitting there absolutely bewildered at what’s going on. It turns personal when her daughter insults me. I walk away to avoid any further escalation.
Later that day, I sit down with her to talk about what happened and I’m shocked at what I hear.
“My daughter doesn’t want you around anymore.”
“There are days when I want to be single.”
“There are days when I want to be alone.”
“I don’t like you in my space.”
All of this is coming out of left field.
I’m absolutely FLOORED. I did not see this coming.
12 days go by. Barely any conversation. Morning phone calls and texts have stopped. No good nights, no how are you’s, nothing.
It’s like the lights have gone out and no one is home.
She ends the relationship on a Friday saying, “I need to make a choice for me.”
We get together Thursday and I asked her to explain what’s going on.
She says that she is feels happier being single and that she doesn’t need a person in her life to feel fulfilled.
Then why join a dating app?
“I didn’t think it was going to be this hard when we started dating.”
“I didn’t realize that I hadn’t healed from my marriage.”
“I have plenty in my life to keep me happy. I don’t need a man to do that.”
I have worked really hard to get myself to a point where I could trust someone in a relationship and this person absolutely wrecked that.
No one goes from “I love you more and more everyday” to “I want to be single” in 2 weeks. That’s a huge leap.
At this point, I’m starting to wonder if I should resign myself to staying single for whatever time I have left. Seems like it would be easier, with less disappointment and less stress.
Anyone else just tired of trying? I’m exhausted.
Title says it all. Does anyone know of a bar that shows the Montreal NHL hockey games for the playoffs?
