I just watched 27mins of Finnish conversation where there were about 10 spoken words to each subtitle, but had so much respect for your honesty and openness, a great example for how 2 people can move on with their lives in different directions!
The subtitles leave out some stuff that's kind of hard to translate (like culture specific jokes and references) but make all the important information easily understandable for any English speaking person... And yes, this is how to handle a divorce in a mature and respectful manner, a real prime example of how to part ways without any unnecessary hostilities
As one of your long time fans, many thanks to both of you for the years of excitement and entertainment you gave the world. We love you both and wish you both the very best in the future! Thank you so much for your openness about your personal lives and treating your audience with such respect. In the USA, we call folks like you 'a class act'. In my estimation, you guys are the classiest act of all. Carry on!
What he says - I fell in love with you both on first video I watched many years ago, you both taught me much about Physics, metallurgy and Finish life and culture that I adore. Sharing your private life details with us as well is just proof you are strong willed, staunch and very rational - all very Finnish traits. Löytäkää molemmat ansaitsemasi rakkaus ja tyydyttävä elämä, rakkaat ystäväni.
I was going to say this aswell, you both inspired us to always be curious and know, danger is everywhere lmao. I was late to realize and wasn't sure what's happened. I'm glad you guys are in a very balanced understanding and I hope you both very happy lives!
If you guys ever get back together… could you crush your divorce papers in the press? But seriously I’m glad I found this video. I was confused. Wish you both the best! You 2 are a power couple even without the wedding rings!
I found this video after wondering where Anni was. Having met you both 3 or 4 years ago, and seeing how well you worked together, I was shocked to hear that you had divorced. However, after watching this video, it is very clear that you have dealt with the situation in the best possible way; I hope that both of you have the best success in whatever you decide to do next (OK, I think we know what Lauri will be doing). Anni, I can highly recommend Lapland as a place to live, we moved here from the UK 6 months ago and we absolutely love it. It is a fantastic place for someone with an artistic mind to live, as long as you can cope with the isolation at times. I wish you both the very best for the future.
Kiitos for sharing. Not just this update; but several years of your lives with us. I divorced about 25 years ago after 9 years married. We also left on good terms and split our assets without any troubles. We have two kids (about your ages now) which help us keep in touch. Blessings to you both, and wishes for continued happiness as you seek new experiences and joys. Much love from WoodHobbyist Don. 🇺🇸
Wow, I was married for 9.5 years, have 2 kids and been divorced for 26 years. My ex is still nasty with me. Our daughter died last year and she didn't want me at the service. She didn't even tell me when she was at the hospital. It's 26 YEARS! She had two more kids, has 3 homes and two companies. I'm like what the hell can you still be mad about. My ex created a rift with my kids. Glad to hear that your situation is different.
@dfinlen I always tell guys that are going through divorce to preemptively be prepared to possibly be dealing with a person that they have never met before. Not all women are that way, but I think their bitterness combined with their attorneys pushing them to try to take everything is a catalyst for disaster. But don't get sucker punched thinking, "oh my wife is not like that". And for the record, in case people are thinking that I must have done something terrible, my bad deed is that over 3 years I went to different massage places for a handjob, 7 times. Nothing more! Not that this is a justfication for it but she would not give me sex. Because of religious beliefs we were both virgins, myself being a month shy of 26. So you can imagine how I felt the next day after the wedding night when I asked about messing around and she'd was like, "we just did that yesterday". O_o But I always stayed patient and kind and never forced her. I just got very good at slowly turning her on till she couldn't take it. But most of the time there was nothing. And if I took care of myself, then she was devastated. So sometimes she would ask me if I had. It was so hard. Literally. Lol and it's so sad cause she was extremely beautiful with, blonde hair and very green eyes and I couldn't love her like I wanted. But it was more than no sex, there was very little intimacy or at least feeling desired. She was so focused on work and other things and all I wanted was for her to hold my hand or cuddle or just sit and be present, but she was always ready to get the next thing done. But I still loved her so much. About 3 years ago, it dawned on me that for the most part, our sex life for the last 3 years was her giving me a handjob. In our whole 9.5 yrs I never got ONE BJ! Not even half of one. And the sex was very limited positions. TMI lolol Anyways I say all that to say that yes, what I did was COMPLETELY WRONG, but I would never have been going crazy inside if I was at least having sex with the woman I loved. And I was always extremely romantic, surprising her with trips (where I had the kids taken care of) jewelry, clothes, concerts, and anything I heard her mention that she liked. I always tried to hold her hand, to kiss her, to cuddle, but I don't know what it was. After the kids came, I was just so happy and in love with them that it really helped to lesson the fight. Crazy thing is that 5 days after the divorce was finalized, she told me that she was gonna be dating my friend, who was the one that introduced us. They got married 7 months later! Five years after the divorce we all became very civil.cause he and I had always been cool, and so we never ever got into any arguments, except one time when he was trying to tell me that he read that it's better now the children to stay the majority of the time with just one parent instead of bouncing back and forth every other weekend. Well I LOVE kids and especially my own, so that didn't go over well at all. But in 25 years, that was the only time, and even then, I was very kind in my words because he was one of those guys that really knew nothing about kids and was the guy that all the kids would gather around and play with. For years we got along. They had two kids and when their son was about two, on his own he started to call me "Black Papa" (my buddy was white). Later my ex complained that her husband never was interested in sex! Lolol That ONE TIME, she said, "I don't know why I didn't appreciate how affectionate you were". I was like.... um okay. But about 7 years later it got bad all over because one time when dropping of the kids she barged into my office cause we had been arguing about the fact that I wanted more time with them. The kids were in my home office as we were arguing (they were about 12 andv13.5) and I told her that they should not be listening to the argument and should go. She was like "NO, they can stay". @dfinlen I always tell guys that are going through divorce to preemptively be prepared to possibly be dealing with a person that you have never met before. Not all women are that way, but I think their bitterness combined with their attorneys pushing them to try to take everything is a catalyst for disaster.

And for the record, in case people are thinking that I must have done something terrible, my bad deed is that over 3 years I went to different massage places for a handjob, 7 times.

They had two kids and when their son was about two, on his own he started to call me "Black Papa" (my buddy was white). Later my ex complained that her husband was never interested in sex! Lolol, That was ONE and only TIME that she took any type of accountability, and she said, "I don't know why I didn't appreciate how affectionate you were". I was like.... um okay.

I said that now that they were older, six days a month was not even close to enough time! Then she said it, she said "well you should have thought about that before you cheated" and then I said "well if you had been having sex with me then that would have never happened"! And that dear friends is the long version of why she hates me so much after 26 years. lololol And for the record, her and my friend I think just got divorced. I don't know, cause after my daughter died, she said a lot of very terrible untrue things, and now my son won't talk to me. I know that he feels like he has to be loyal to her cause before, it was my daughter that she would talk bad about me to. I KNOW he knows what kind of Dad I was, so I am just giving him the space until he is ready to talk. I love him so much, that it just kills me. But I'm hopeful. I apologize for that long, emotional dump. Lol Here is the page I designed for my baby if you are ever curious. www.lexylooloo.com
Even cooler is the "transcript" function. I know this is an old comment, but just wanted to give a heads up if anyone never bothered to check that out. It basically gives you the subtitles over in a chat-type box. Really cool. Also, best wishes to our hosts.\o
I was missing Anni and now I feel better knowing you are still friends. I loved watching you two together cause you are so easy going and funny. Good luck Anni in your studies and good luck Lauri. Hope to see Anni occasionally 🙂
It’s so refreshing to see a divorced couple be so friendly and happy! That is genuine friendship there. It’s sad to see Anni go, but I am glad you are civil and happy! Good luck on the new chapter. Cheers.
Thanks for this. I used to watch your videos quite regularly, including Anni's vlogs, so it was really interesting to see this update on / epilogue of your relationship. The last chapters of your story, as you say. You got married so young, when it's hard to know what kind of people you'll become a decade later. I have a friend who met her husband at 19, but it's been a lot of work and compromise for both of them. And running a company together is another level. I'm so impressed by your maturity in figuring out what you both need and how not too hurt each pursuing it. A lot of people never "level up" to that. In my social circle, polyamory is pretty normal, so that didn't phase me. It was interesting to hear you both talking about feelings in such a thoughtful way, which is such a different side from a Beyond the Press video. And finally it's great to see Anni has kept her sense of style. The earing / coat / scarf combo is fantastic!
Muuten paitsi tuommoinen avoin suhde ei oo ihmiselle hyväksi jos semmoseen jää elämään myös uuden kanssa. Myöhemmin ymmärtää ellei vielä. Palvelee ehkä ihmisen omia himoja ja haluja mutta ei mitään muuta, mutta kaikella on hintansa. Raamatusta löytyy se viisaus elämään:) Jumalan pelko on viisauden alku.:)
Huusin clickbaittia ensimmäiset minuutit mutta uskottava se on! Aina hienoa nähä ihmisiä jotka on kiitollisia menneestä avioliitosta ja osaa olla katkeroitumatta. Kaikkee hyvää Anni ja Lauri ootte yhtä hyviä erikseenkin!
As an old fan all I can say is thank you for all the years of fun and entertainment - Thanks for the huge sacrifices taken to continue providing the best content possible for your viewers, and I can't think of a more self-less act than that! I'm happy the both of you are now officially happy again! It was one hell of a ride!!
And this, ladies and gentlemen is how good sensible and respectfull people break up and move on in life, so much love i could allmost feel it thru the screen of my ipad…. Best of lifes to you both from Denmark 👍❤️
Just saw Anni's video and came and watched this. When things with huge potential and expectations don't turn out as we expect, it's always sad, but I'm really pleased to see you both have used the last couple of years to recover, move forwards, and are at the stage you can appreciate where you've been. I really hope you stay close as friends (off camera) and wish you both all the best.
I am super bummed that you will no longer be creating together, some of my favorite videos were when you both were laughing and having fun. I am happy that you both are happy and moving on to healthy and wonderful futures.
As a long time fan and subscriber, thank you. Thank you for all your hard work and entertainment. Thank you for your transparency and maturity of what could a difficult time. I wish nothing but the best and looking forward to what is to come.
Hämmentävät fiilikset. Niin surullista, että teillä meni lusikat jakoon, mutta on silti niin perkuleen hienoo, miten hyvät välit teille on jäänyt. Voitte yhä itkee ja nauraa yhdessä. Onnea tosi paljon molemmille elämiinne! 👍👍❤️
Joo itsellekin jäi vähän hämmentyneet fiilikset, kun jotenkin vaikea saada otetta tästä tilanteesta. Sillä tavalla näkee, että kuinka paljon ns. isommalla tasolla tässä puhutaan näitä asioita ja kuinka paljon isommalla tasolla he ovat niitä käsitelleet varmasti aiemmin ja hyvin he kaiken selittävät ja kertovat tilanteen, mutta silti jotenkin on vaikea käsittää, ymmärtää ja sisäistää tätä asiaa, että tälläisiäkin eroja on olemassa. Ja kai tässä vaikuttaa sekin, että en itse ole ollut koskaan missään vuosia kestäneessä suhteessa, niin senkin takia tämä tilanne vaikuttaa jotenkin oudolta. Ja kanssa sekin tuntuu oudolta, että mitenkä vesimäisen soljuvasti sitten asioiden on vaan annettu mennä tuohon pisteeseen kuin missä se nyt on ja se on molemmille fine. Itselle jotenkin tuli sellainen fiilis, että tuotako se elämä sitten parisuhteessa on, että annetaan vain asioiden soljua eteenpäin sen sijaan, että oikeasti yritetään tehdä töitä sen asian ratkaisemisen eteen ja muuttaa sitä tilanteen soljumisen suuntaa. Mutta tässäkin, kuten kaikissa muissakin tilanteissa, kukaan muu kuin he eivät tiedä ja näe eikä myöskään pysty näkemään koko kuvaa. Eli siis en yritä arvostella heitä tässä tai mitään. Homma on mennyt niin kuin on mennyt ja se on mennyt heidän tyylinsä mukaisesti, mutta itseä vaan jotenkin ihmetyttää, että tälläisiäkin tapoja hoitaa parisuhde asioita on. Jotenkin tuntuu niin ihmeelliseltä. :D Noh. Eipä siinä. Ihan hyvä video ja hyvää asioiden läpi käymistä ja niiden valottamista yleisölle. Sivuhuomautuksena: Itseä vähän harmittaa, sinällään, että ei ole päässyt mitään tälläisiä itse kokemaan. Sinällään sen takia, koska itse koen, että eron kokeminen on aina ikävää ja en haluaisi sitä taas kerran joutua kokemaan (lyhyissä suhteissa, kun siis kuitenkin olen ollut pari kertaa), mutta siis olisi mukava päästä kokemaan edes tuollainen 12 vuotta kestävä parisuhde ja kaikki tapahtumat sen varrella vaikka olisi se vielä mukavampaa päästä kokemaan koko loppuelämän pituinen parisuhde. Ja jotenkin tulee huomattua, että mitenkä paljon isompi ja laajempi asia elämä onkaan sitten, kun on parisuhteessa ja se monimutkaistaa asioita paljon, mutta vaikka ne asiat ovatkin monimutkaisempia, niin ne eivät välttämättä ole hankalampia. Niiden eri asioiden ratkomiseen vain menee enemmän aikaa ja tällä videolla Anni ja Lauri omasta mielestäni ns. vahingossa sivussa kertovat kanssa, että parisuhteessa prosessien ja asioiden ratkominen voi kestää pidempään, kun vuosistahan he puhuivat aina aika-ajoin. Eipä mitään. Kaikkea hyvää teille Lauri ja Anni. :)
I didn't realise that you had your own channel, Lauri, so I missed this... except I had already guessed what had happened. I won't comment on your's and Anni's business except to say that it's so good you can both laugh and talk openly still. I think you are both great, great people together and individually and I will continue to follow both of you.
Thank you for sharing this when you didn’t need to - I’m sorry it never worked out for you both, and the occasional look of hurt in Anni’s eyes was haunting, but if you are both on good terms, then I’m happy for you both - just goes to show how rare true love is these days, that more marriages end in divorce than stay permanent
This was extremely well done. I commend both of you for being so open especially with topics that for many people are taboo to discuss. Best wishes to both of you!
I watched your videos from the start, the day you married, the house, the new car, the heavy equipment and presentations, the friends and so on. Loved the leggings and fashion choices. Love the house. I am surprised at your update. You have both changed a great deal over the years and yes Anni I saw your sadness. I am glad you are still friends. Please continue to make videos and good luck with both your lives xxx
Seeing the hidden pain on Lauri's face many times while he was driving I get the feeling the divorce wasn't his idea. Like Anni was saying, she hit a wall and got burnt out, and she wanted everything to change I think. Maybe people like this should remain friends always and not get romantic, but that's the hard part.
@@afrosheenix As a Finn, I don't agree. I interpreted Lauri's face as "I wonder how should I select my words because I know this is going to be published?" instead of pain. Finns are not generally known for expressive faces.
It seems like so many creators on RUclips burnout. It seems like such a beast to feed with content to stay afloat in the algorithm Thank you for sharing the rest of your story together, I'll still keep watching whatever you all put out. I really enjoyed seeing life in Finland and you both have made it a must visit place for me in the future!
Lauri and Anni, THANK YOU for the hours of entertainment, and the sharing of your lives with all of us! I'm sad to see you go your own ways, but opportunities for both of you will be massive and great! I completely agree with imbok! You are both class acts, I wish you all the best of luck and overflowing success as you continue on your new adventures!
I feel sad to learn of the divorce but it doesn't feel like an ending. I hope that you both find more happiness and fun in your new adventures, together or apart. We can all learn from the wisdom, mature outlook, mutual love and respect that you have for each other. It's very refreshing and we need more of this in the world.
Well I've watched you guys a long time. I watched you with my mom and dad. My dad died last year, but I watched this video with my mom because we really think you are some of the sweetest nicest people to become famous content creators. We're very happy you've been able to be amicable and it was friendly. We send our blessings to both your futures. You're nice people. And you guys speak a lot of truth. My parents divorced and we still ended up living together in the same house after all because my dad became ill and we're a small family and he needed caregiving. Like Anni said, these are just different books. Every story is different or has a spin-off etc. I think it's honorable and good to know limits and knowing changes are important for the individual and for life. Wishing you both continued luck and happiness.
Kiitos kaikista näistä vuosista, olette yhdessä tuottaneet mahtavia videoita tänne RUclipsen, näitä on ollut ilo katsella ja erittäin hieno konsepti tämä uusi työmatka podcast. Kaikkea hyvää molemmille tulevaisuuden haasteisiin! Beyond the Press channellille toivoisin vielä myös jatkoa, jos vaan aika riittää tekemään lisää sisältöä 👌
Eiköhän sinne kohta taas tule uutta tavaraa btpeellekkin, minulla on pari hyvää projektia ollut tässä työn alla ja uskon, että niihin löytyy nyt uutta energiaa kohta taas.
fairly long time fan, very happy you're both friends and doing what you want to do, all the best for the future. anni great to see you in a video again.
What these two share is true love and respect. They love each other enough to let them go, without spite or hatred. The entire world can learn a lesson from this video. toivottaen
Thank you for sharing! Thank you for all your work that you've shared with us in the past and I hope you both find even more happiness in the future. Really stepping back from romance to friend isn't a bad thing, and I'm happy you can still keep that friendship in order to be free to pursue your dreams.
Growing older and apart doesn't always have to contain anger and sadness. Sure, you can feel those things, but it's important not to hold on to them. You two are a great example of that. My ex and I broke up, we were hurt and sad and then put that behind us in a healthy manner. 20 years later, we are still each other's best friend. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Anni, especially about your mental health. Good luck to both of you.
Hands down the most adult and genuine relationship on youtube the second Ive ever known outside my own. Dont live your lives for the world, live it how you want.
Heard and understood you in finnish but mine is so bad that I reply in english. The exitement that Anni feels I have also felt a lot of times. Started my life over maybe 10 times but nowadays there is none of it what ever I do. Wish you both all the best. You have entertained a lot of people trough the years. Hyvää jatkoo ja terveisiö ruotsista!
Voi helvetti! I wish both of you the very best. I watched for many years and I will miss seeing Anni on the channel, or hearing her laugh in slow-mo. Really appreciate the explanation video, and the subtitles. Like always it was done with humour and intelligence. Thanks for all the laughs and enjoy yourselves in future.
I can't help but feel sad about your divorce, but I guess that's part of life as well. Hope you are both doing well and wish you the best for the future. As much as I like crazy Lauri I'd love to know how your new story will go Anni!
That is sad but not the end of the world. You guys are still young. We already miss both of you together but Life must go on and I prefer you happy that way. Take care.. both if you and many thanks for all of these years of videos!
I will always love you both. I broke up a few month ago with my girlfriend of 5 years. And just like you, we're still friends. And just like you, we genuinely wish each other the best of everything in our lives.
It's hard for me to understand when someone says things will be better between you after the divorce, and at the same time you say there wasn't anything wrong. Because if there wasn't anything wrong then why would you get divorced? Then again, I could never understand having an open relationship. At that point it seems like wanting someone new but not being able to admit that you want to separate even though it becomes inevitable.
Tosi hyvä video oli! :) Kiva saada esimerkki siitä, kun ero menee kivasti. Hiukan liikaa aina kohistaan kaikenlaisesta draamasta ja välillä tuntuu, että joillain on sellainen ajatus, että kun erotaan niin sit saa olla ihan niin ilkee kuin haluaa ilman mitään seurauksia. Sanotaan vain, että "kuuluu asiaan" ja sit jää kaikille edes etäisesti tilannetta seuranneille paha mieli, vaikkei sen tarvitse mennä niin. Itse uskon, että tosi moni asia on keskustelemalla selvitettävissä niin ettei kokonaan mene välit, mutta valitettavan tavallista on, että erotilanteessa oikein yritetään saada toinen hermostumaan, että voi sit jälkeenpäin ajatella, että "no se olikin ihan paska tyyppi" (vaikka oikeesti oli sitä itsekin). Monissa avoimissa suhteissa osataan selvästi kyllä keskustella ja tää kyl kuulostaa siltä, että se keskusteluyhteys on teitä tässä helpottanut. Tsemppii molemmille tulevaan, kuulostaa hienoilta suunnitelmilta! :)
Taitaa tosiaan olla, että kipeimmät erot syntyvät siitä kun suhdetta yritetään pakolla jatkaa liian pitkään ja tilanne räjähtää lopulta käsiin. Räjähdyksen jälkeen molemmat osapuolet ovat henkisesti niin hajalla, että eroa ei osata enää sen jälkeen hoitaa järjellä vaan riidellään henkisen hajoamisen keskellä.
First let me say, Anni, you look wonderful! Seeing you happy and smiling is fabulous. It's easy to tell that all the stress is gone and you're doing well. So happy for you. Lauri, good to see you happy also. It's good to see you both able to interact and be happy, all divorces should end so well. Anni, I completely understand about your stress and depression, I suffer from it too. I need to get out of a relationship too but it's not so simple. I've had depression for years, maybe most of my life. You have to make changes that are good for you, but sometimes you don't realize it or know what they are. That's why its important to get good help and it looks like you did. Again I'm happy for you both. In society these days we seem to not pay much attention to mental health, except when it's too late. I wish good fortune to you both wherever life's journey takes you.
You're both such good people and being very mature about this. I'm so glad everything is working better than expected and you're both happy with the split. I wish you both success and happiness!!!
Thank you both for all of the joy you both provided me with your youtube channels. In March, the same thing happened to my wife and I, but after 40 years. Poor mental health played a major role in our divorce. And likewise, being amicable is the best way to go. Take good care, and thank you!
We all go through difficult situations, and it's important to come out of them as best as we can. I'm glad that you are both apparently doing very well!
I saw Anni's video first (fresh start). It made me cry. I don't know why. You guys seem so happy in this video. I'll wish you both the best for your futures, and am glad you're still good friends. It's good to have good people in your lives, and you're both really good people.
Shame you guys went your separate ways but if you want different things from life, it goes down hill from the moment this is realised, from here either one of you have to sacrifice your wants, needs dreams etc and live feeling unfulfilled or you move on, no matter how difficult that may be, i have the opinion that once it gets to the point you are dating other people its only a matter of time until one or both fall in love with someone else and from that point separation is inevitable. I just want to say thank you to you both for the content you created and shared with us all over the years 😎👍 wish you both all the best and happiness for the future ❤👍👍👍👍👍
Hienoa esimerkkiä myös muille, videosta jäi tosi hyvä fiilis! Toivottavasti nähdään vielä Annia tälläkin kanavalla kuulumisien merkeissä silloin tällöin.
Will miss Anni in HPC content, but I am glad that you have managed to find a way for both of you to be happier and that you are still friends :) Also hope you are doing better now Anni, burnt out myself twice and know it's hell. PS. Thanks for the English subtitles!
Thank you for sharing this with us. I wish you both the best of happiness! There is much wisdom in Lauri's comment that there are bad emotions but we don't arrange our lives so we never get angry; we also don't arrange our lives so that we never face sadness or the endings of things, and it is very clear in your words and appreciation of each other that giving up the previous 12 years to avoid the ending would have been a great loss. And the affection for each other that you clearly still have is what I would aspire to in all of my relationships.
I really wish this video had English subtitles ): your English speaking fans are also interested in your personal life Lauri! Also, good for you too on staying amicable through the divorce
Glad to see you remain friends! Anni if you want to visit Canada, comment back and we’ll get in touch. It’s like Finland, but warmer and more sunshine!
This reminds me of when my grandparents would speak in Finn so I wouldn't understand them. Just catch enough of the conversation to come to my own wrong conclusions
Happy Divorce! I hope you're still friends forever; I've tried to have my longer relationships end on good terms and while other people may think it's weird, I love having friends in my life with whom I have shared that closeness. Also, I have to think that your current arrangement is working for both of you, because you're both looking *fantastic!*.
I've been a fan from the very early days, and I hope it is not too selfish for me to say that I will miss the two of you working together. You have brought me a lot of joy...far more than just the joy of watching things be crushed in a press. I understand that many good things come to an end, though. I have learned so much about Finland from you guys. Things I never would have learned otherwise. The end of an era, to be sure. I wish you both good luck and happy lives. I hope you still continue to post on your channels. Good luck in Lapland Anni.
As one of your polyamurous fans, I really feel happy for you to come out as poly to the community this way ^^ It´s ok, that it didn´t work out in marriage and really nice to se, that you stay friends. You can still hang out like for behind the press channel videos sometimes ^^ I´m really happy to see you ending your marriage in a nice and peaceful way abd talk so much with each other. It really shows, that you had an all in all non-toxic relationship and that there´s no bad thoughts between the both of you ^^
glad I figured out that I could turn on the closed captions to see what you were talking about ! It is nice that you cleared the air and stop the gossip in the bud. I came over because I saw Lauri with some other woman in recent video and wanted to know what was going on . Anni - you are right - there is nothing as nice as freedom to go out and explore the world ( or stay home !) .
I am a bit late to watch this. I wasn't subbed to this channel because it was all in Finnish. I was a bit burned out from HPC too and when things went on break from live streams it was welcome to have some time away. Then I miss it a lot. The weekend streams were such a joy and I wonder what happened. Sometimes people would say something like 'How is Anni?" or "Any word from Lauri and Anni?" but the response was always just "They are okay" I'm glad you explained this for us. Spending years with you as a fan I would be very sad if we never got public explanation.
I don't speak Finnish of course but just using google translate on your notes tells me a little bit. So glad you are handling this without anger (or so it seems). You probably both realized it wasn't going to work for some time now. It always did seem like you and Anni were pretty different people. Sometimes that can work and sometimes it will work for a while and then both realize it is time to move on.
I'm a little late to this, but you two have always been so sweet to your viewers and fans, I'm happy to see you are still sweet to each other. Love doesn't always mean marriage or romance. Sometimes it's something a little different, but the level of respect still remains.
The big (and quite rare!) maturity and open-mindedness from both of you are very valuable traits. Even more so in combination with this childlike joy you seem to have in your hearts. From personal experience I know that depression can be really tough and draining...glad to see that Anni got out of it. I wish you two all the best for your future! (Some more translations would have been nice though ;))
Voihan surkeus. Jotain tälläistä osasin vähän aavistella. Taitaa olla ensimmäinen julkkisero, joka tuntuu kurjalta. Internetin kuningaspari tosiaan. Kiitos ihan mahtavasta sisällöstä ja onnea molemmille uusiin haasteisiin!
Kieltämättä aikas hankala oli uskoa tätä eroa todeksi, mut joskus on aika kääntää uusi sivu elämässä... ja onhan sopusa erokin ihan mahdollinen. Hyvää uutta vuotta molemmille yhdessä tai erikseen :)
When i first stumbled on a hidraulic press video , that accent and good mood was 'love' at first sight . back than you were still quite small .... I've watched each and every video from about 2016-2017 and till 2020 .Solid . Every video on every channel. Annis channel , hpc , beyond the press , slo-mo guys or thermal guys ( or what was it called) ....i don't remember that one . Every crush , every podcast . I've spent a new year on a live podcast with you guys. One christmas i even got the handwritten holyday greeting card . Of course i still have it . I completet the first press android game . I was really absorbed by the content . - and you guys were absorbed in making them . I also liked Sari and Anti . Guess my interest started to ramp down when you no longer made lives , no more Sari ...stuff like that. So that marked and end for me on HPC. But i'm still eagerly following beyond the press and Anni's channel . Unfortunately the content was/is lacking . I still check on from time to time on the beyond the press . The news are kinda shocking, but that's just my opinion , and not how you guys feel. I'm glad you divorced on good terms. Honestly i'd really like at least a quaterly update from the Anni channel .... to see what's up. I've asked this question 1-2 times on instagram , but got no response , of course this is understandable , considering the amount of fans you guys have - and all the guys woud like to bang those "thick thighs" ( yeah i remember that comment some years ago , by some dude...:)))) i think you even responded :)) ) In conclusion; thank you Anni for all the good times and the extra contents To Lauri i'd have to say i look forward to the new stuff , but honestly HPC was never my big love(i mean that got me started , but after so many crushings , it loses it's glamour) , it was always the beyond the press channel . ps: still waiting for the 1000Tonn press ( but i've also watched the explanation video , where you tell us why it's hard to get one) pps: i really tought you guys would get old togheter , maybe it was not ment to be , maybe...who knows . I wish the best luck to the both of you .
I just love anne her vibe and her laugh will be missed...so i just leave with wishing you guys both the best...especially anne with her mental state..sending you guys good vibes and love
I just learned about this and honestly after years of watching you guys my heart sank. But I am really happy that you are on good terms. Going to miss your videos together. Thank you for the good content and the laughs throughout the years. Wish you both the best.
If a marriage doesnt work out i see nothing wrong with exercising divorce as an option and if you can stay friends then all the better. I always remembered the day you guys got married was the exact same day my wife and I got married. But best of luck to both of you in the future with however it goes for both of you.
This seemed to be very Finnish to me. Practical, frank, matter-of-factly joking discussion. Perkele? Anni looks a lot better than she did in some of the videos, probably from the lack of stress. Best of luck to both of you moving forward. Amazing videos. I know YT is a tough commitment, especially to make it succeed, and it's split other couples.
I'll never forget how infectious Anni's laughing was in the early videos and the clay figures she'd make. I hope you both find happiness and success.
I will miss Anni's awesome laughing!
I just watched 27mins of Finnish conversation where there were about 10 spoken words to each subtitle, but had so much respect for your honesty and openness, a great example for how 2 people can move on with their lives in different directions!
for future people: if you go to the 3 dotes near the thumbs up arrow, you can do "see transcript". you should be able to read that faster haha
The subtitles leave out some stuff that's kind of hard to translate (like culture specific jokes and references) but make all the important information easily understandable for any English speaking person...
And yes, this is how to handle a divorce in a mature and respectful manner, a real prime example of how to part ways without any unnecessary hostilities
so true but i still hope at they get merry again later in future
I just hope they are happy in what they set out to do, especially private life, I'm just happy it was a friendly brake up :)
honestly all you really need to know for finnish is "perkele", "viina", and "sauna".
As one of your long time fans, many thanks to both of you for the years of excitement and entertainment you gave the world. We love you both and wish you both the very best in the future! Thank you so much for your openness about your personal lives and treating your audience with such respect. In the USA, we call folks like you 'a class act'. In my estimation, you guys are the classiest act of all. Carry on!
I was going to say this almost verbatim. I’m going to leave a comment any way but I completely agree.
This. Thank you to you both for being so open and sharing with us all.
What he says - I fell in love with you both on first video I watched many years ago, you both taught me much about Physics, metallurgy and Finish life and culture that I adore.
Sharing your private life details with us as well is just proof you are strong willed, staunch and very rational - all very Finnish traits.
Löytäkää molemmat ansaitsemasi rakkaus ja tyydyttävä elämä, rakkaat ystäväni.
I was going to say this aswell, you both inspired us to always be curious and know, danger is everywhere lmao. I was late to realize and wasn't sure what's happened. I'm glad you guys are in a very balanced understanding and I hope you both very happy lives!
Agreed!
If you guys ever get back together… could you crush your divorce papers in the press? But seriously I’m glad I found this video. I was confused. Wish you both the best! You 2 are a power couple even without the wedding rings!
This is the best comment I read today!
Amen
I found this video after wondering where Anni was. Having met you both 3 or 4 years ago, and seeing how well you worked together, I was shocked to hear that you had divorced. However, after watching this video, it is very clear that you have dealt with the situation in the best possible way; I hope that both of you have the best success in whatever you decide to do next (OK, I think we know what Lauri will be doing).
Anni, I can highly recommend Lapland as a place to live, we moved here from the UK 6 months ago and we absolutely love it. It is a fantastic place for someone with an artistic mind to live, as long as you can cope with the isolation at times.
I wish you both the very best for the future.
My family relocated from Guildford to Pori in November 2022 - best decision we ever made.
Kiitos for sharing. Not just this update; but several years of your lives with us. I divorced about 25 years ago after 9 years married. We also left on good terms and split our assets without any troubles. We have two kids (about your ages now) which help us keep in touch. Blessings to you both, and wishes for continued happiness as you seek new experiences and joys. Much love from WoodHobbyist Don. 🇺🇸
Wow, I was married for 9.5 years, have 2 kids and been divorced for 26 years.
My ex is still nasty with me. Our daughter died last year and she didn't want me at the service. She didn't even tell me when she was at the hospital.
It's 26 YEARS! She had two more kids, has 3 homes and two companies. I'm like what the hell can you still be mad about.
My ex created a rift with my kids. Glad to hear that your situation is different.
@@_Mr.Ddamn.. life can really hit hard for some. Sorry for you brother, try to stay strong, I can recommend you some books that you might want to read
@@_Mr.Dholy wow, some people have a gift for bitterness.
@dfinlen I always tell guys that are going through divorce to preemptively be prepared to possibly be dealing with a person that they have never met before. Not all women are that way, but I think their bitterness combined with their attorneys pushing them to try to take everything is a catalyst for disaster. But don't get sucker punched thinking, "oh my wife is not like that".
And for the record, in case people are thinking that I must have done something terrible, my bad deed is that over 3 years I went to different massage places for a handjob, 7 times. Nothing more!
Not that this is a justfication for it but she would not give me sex. Because of religious beliefs we were both virgins, myself being a month shy of 26. So you can imagine how I felt the next day after the wedding night when I asked about messing around and she'd was like, "we just did that yesterday". O_o
But I always stayed patient and kind and never forced her. I just got very good at slowly turning her on till she couldn't take it. But most of the time there was nothing. And if I took care of myself, then she was devastated. So sometimes she would ask me if I had. It was so hard. Literally. Lol and it's so sad cause she was extremely beautiful with, blonde hair and very green eyes and I couldn't love her like I wanted. But it was more than no sex, there was very little intimacy or at least feeling desired. She was so focused on work and other things and all I wanted was for her to hold my hand or cuddle or just sit and be present, but she was always ready to get the next thing done. But I still loved her so much.
About 3 years ago, it dawned on me that for the most part, our sex life for the last 3 years was her giving me a handjob. In our whole 9.5 yrs I never got ONE BJ! Not even half of one. And the sex was very limited positions. TMI lolol
Anyways I say all that to say that yes, what I did was COMPLETELY WRONG, but I would never have been going crazy inside if I was at least having sex with the woman I loved. And I was always extremely romantic, surprising her with trips (where I had the kids taken care of) jewelry, clothes, concerts, and anything I heard her mention that she liked. I always tried to hold her hand, to kiss her, to cuddle, but I don't know what it was. After the kids came, I was just so happy and in love with them that it really helped to lesson the fight.
Crazy thing is that 5 days after the divorce was finalized, she told me that she was gonna be dating my friend, who was the one that introduced us. They got married 7 months later!
Five years after the divorce we all became very civil.cause he and I had always been cool, and so we never ever got into any arguments, except one time when he was trying to tell me that he read that it's better now the children to stay the majority of the time with just one parent instead of bouncing back and forth every other weekend. Well I LOVE kids and especially my own, so that didn't go over well at all. But in 25 years, that was the only time, and even then, I was very kind in my words because he was one of those guys that really knew nothing about kids and was the guy that all the kids would gather around and play with.
For years we got along. They had two kids and when their son was about two, on his own he started to call me "Black Papa" (my buddy was white). Later my ex complained that her husband never was interested in sex! Lolol That ONE TIME, she said, "I don't know why I didn't appreciate how affectionate you were". I was like.... um okay.
But about 7 years later it got bad all over because one time when dropping of the kids she barged into my office cause we had been arguing about the fact that I wanted more time with them. The kids were in my home office as we were arguing (they were about 12 andv13.5) and I told her that they should not be listening to the argument and should go. She was like "NO, they can stay". @dfinlen I always tell guys that are going through divorce to preemptively be prepared to possibly be dealing with a person that you have never met before. Not all women are that way, but I think their bitterness combined with their attorneys pushing them to try to take everything is a catalyst for disaster.

Then she said it, she said "well you should have thought about that before you cheated" and then I said "well if you had been having sex with me then that would have never happened"! And that dear friends is the long version of why she hates me so much after 26 years. lololol
And for the record, her and my friend I think just got divorced. I don't know, cause after my daughter died, she said a lot of very terrible untrue things, and now my son won't talk to me. I know that he feels like he has to be loyal to her cause before, it was my daughter that she would talk bad about me to. I KNOW he knows what kind of Dad I was, so I am just giving him the space until he is ready to talk. I love him so much, that it just kills me. But I'm hopeful.
I apologize for that long, emotional dump. Lol
Here is the page I designed for my baby if you are ever curious. www.lexylooloo.com
@@_Mr.D you should copy this to a journal or something. That's a start of a book. Haha
After seeing the English subtitles now (thank you so much whoever did them!), this is truly inspiring story
Even cooler is the "transcript" function. I know this is an old comment, but just wanted to give a heads up if anyone never bothered to check that out. It basically gives you the subtitles over in a chat-type box. Really cool. Also, best wishes to our hosts.\o
Setting the benchmark for how to handle things amicably in divorce. Congratulations to you both on new beginnings!
I was missing Anni and now I feel better knowing you are still friends. I loved watching you two together cause you are so easy going and funny. Good luck Anni in your studies and good luck Lauri. Hope to see Anni occasionally 🙂
Yeah same here! There is a good feeling in the tummy now after this video :-)
It’s so refreshing to see a divorced couple be so friendly and happy! That is genuine friendship there. It’s sad to see Anni go, but I am glad you are civil and happy! Good luck on the new chapter. Cheers.
Thanks for this. I used to watch your videos quite regularly, including Anni's vlogs, so it was really interesting to see this update on / epilogue of your relationship. The last chapters of your story, as you say. You got married so young, when it's hard to know what kind of people you'll become a decade later. I have a friend who met her husband at 19, but it's been a lot of work and compromise for both of them. And running a company together is another level.
I'm so impressed by your maturity in figuring out what you both need and how not too hurt each pursuing it. A lot of people never "level up" to that. In my social circle, polyamory is pretty normal, so that didn't phase me. It was interesting to hear you both talking about feelings in such a thoughtful way, which is such a different side from a Beyond the Press video. And finally it's great to see Anni has kept her sense of style. The earing / coat / scarf combo is fantastic!
Aivan mahtavaa avoimuutta, ja aikuismaista asian käsittelyä. Kiitos teille.
Ei hemmetti noin järkevää eroomista voi olla kuin sadussa.
Onnea kaikesta huolimatta.
Joo mää kans mietin, et mikä huijaus tää on, ku kaikki menee niin helpolla 😂😂
Pajamies HP veit lähes sanat suustani 👍
Muuten paitsi tuommoinen avoin suhde ei oo ihmiselle hyväksi jos semmoseen jää elämään myös uuden kanssa. Myöhemmin ymmärtää ellei vielä. Palvelee ehkä ihmisen omia himoja ja haluja mutta ei mitään muuta, mutta kaikella on hintansa. Raamatusta löytyy se viisaus elämään:) Jumalan pelko on viisauden alku.:)
Huusin clickbaittia ensimmäiset minuutit mutta uskottava se on! Aina hienoa nähä ihmisiä jotka on kiitollisia menneestä avioliitosta ja osaa olla katkeroitumatta.
Kaikkee hyvää Anni ja Lauri ootte yhtä hyviä erikseenkin!
As an old fan all I can say is thank you for all the years of fun and entertainment - Thanks for the huge sacrifices taken to continue providing the best content possible for your viewers, and I can't think of a more self-less act than that! I'm happy the both of you are now officially happy again! It was one hell of a ride!!
And this, ladies and gentlemen is how good sensible and respectfull people break up and move on in life, so much love i could allmost feel it thru the screen of my ipad…. Best of lifes to you both from Denmark 👍❤️
Just saw Anni's video and came and watched this. When things with huge potential and expectations don't turn out as we expect, it's always sad, but I'm really pleased to see you both have used the last couple of years to recover, move forwards, and are at the stage you can appreciate where you've been. I really hope you stay close as friends (off camera) and wish you both all the best.
I am super bummed that you will no longer be creating together, some of my favorite videos were when you both were laughing and having fun. I am happy that you both are happy and moving on to healthy and wonderful futures.
As a long time fan and subscriber, thank you. Thank you for all your hard work and entertainment. Thank you for your transparency and maturity of what could a difficult time. I wish nothing but the best and looking forward to what is to come.
Hämmentävät fiilikset. Niin surullista, että teillä meni lusikat jakoon, mutta on silti niin perkuleen hienoo, miten hyvät välit teille on jäänyt. Voitte yhä itkee ja nauraa yhdessä. Onnea tosi paljon molemmille elämiinne! 👍👍❤️
Joo itsellekin jäi vähän hämmentyneet fiilikset, kun jotenkin vaikea saada otetta tästä tilanteesta. Sillä tavalla näkee, että kuinka paljon ns. isommalla tasolla tässä puhutaan näitä asioita ja kuinka paljon isommalla tasolla he ovat niitä käsitelleet varmasti aiemmin ja hyvin he kaiken selittävät ja kertovat tilanteen, mutta silti jotenkin on vaikea käsittää, ymmärtää ja sisäistää tätä asiaa, että tälläisiäkin eroja on olemassa. Ja kai tässä vaikuttaa sekin, että en itse ole ollut koskaan missään vuosia kestäneessä suhteessa, niin senkin takia tämä tilanne vaikuttaa jotenkin oudolta.
Ja kanssa sekin tuntuu oudolta, että mitenkä vesimäisen soljuvasti sitten asioiden on vaan annettu mennä tuohon pisteeseen kuin missä se nyt on ja se on molemmille fine. Itselle jotenkin tuli sellainen fiilis, että tuotako se elämä sitten parisuhteessa on, että annetaan vain asioiden soljua eteenpäin sen sijaan, että oikeasti yritetään tehdä töitä sen asian ratkaisemisen eteen ja muuttaa sitä tilanteen soljumisen suuntaa. Mutta tässäkin, kuten kaikissa muissakin tilanteissa, kukaan muu kuin he eivät tiedä ja näe eikä myöskään pysty näkemään koko kuvaa. Eli siis en yritä arvostella heitä tässä tai mitään. Homma on mennyt niin kuin on mennyt ja se on mennyt heidän tyylinsä mukaisesti, mutta itseä vaan jotenkin ihmetyttää, että tälläisiäkin tapoja hoitaa parisuhde asioita on. Jotenkin tuntuu niin ihmeelliseltä. :D
Noh. Eipä siinä. Ihan hyvä video ja hyvää asioiden läpi käymistä ja niiden valottamista yleisölle.
Sivuhuomautuksena: Itseä vähän harmittaa, sinällään, että ei ole päässyt mitään tälläisiä itse kokemaan. Sinällään sen takia, koska itse koen, että eron kokeminen on aina ikävää ja en haluaisi sitä taas kerran joutua kokemaan (lyhyissä suhteissa, kun siis kuitenkin olen ollut pari kertaa), mutta siis olisi mukava päästä kokemaan edes tuollainen 12 vuotta kestävä parisuhde ja kaikki tapahtumat sen varrella vaikka olisi se vielä mukavampaa päästä kokemaan koko loppuelämän pituinen parisuhde.
Ja jotenkin tulee huomattua, että mitenkä paljon isompi ja laajempi asia elämä onkaan sitten, kun on parisuhteessa ja se monimutkaistaa asioita paljon, mutta vaikka ne asiat ovatkin monimutkaisempia, niin ne eivät välttämättä ole hankalampia. Niiden eri asioiden ratkomiseen vain menee enemmän aikaa ja tällä videolla Anni ja Lauri omasta mielestäni ns. vahingossa sivussa kertovat kanssa, että parisuhteessa prosessien ja asioiden ratkominen voi kestää pidempään, kun vuosistahan he puhuivat aina aika-ajoin.
Eipä mitään. Kaikkea hyvää teille Lauri ja Anni. :)
I didn't realise that you had your own channel, Lauri, so I missed this... except I had already guessed what had happened.
I won't comment on your's and Anni's business except to say that it's so good you can both laugh and talk openly still. I think you are both great, great people together and individually and I will continue to follow both of you.
Thank you for sharing this when you didn’t need to - I’m sorry it never worked out for you both, and the occasional look of hurt in Anni’s eyes was haunting, but if you are both on good terms, then I’m happy for you both - just goes to show how rare true love is these days, that more marriages end in divorce than stay permanent
This was extremely well done. I commend both of you for being so open especially with topics that for many people are taboo to discuss. Best wishes to both of you!
I watched your videos from the start, the day you married, the house, the new car, the heavy equipment and presentations, the friends and so on. Loved the leggings and fashion choices. Love the house. I am surprised at your update. You have both changed a great deal over the years and yes Anni I saw your sadness. I am glad you are still friends. Please continue to make videos and good luck with both your lives xxx
Seeing the hidden pain on Lauri's face many times while he was driving I get the feeling the divorce wasn't his idea. Like Anni was saying, she hit a wall and got burnt out, and she wanted everything to change I think. Maybe people like this should remain friends always and not get romantic, but that's the hard part.
@@afrosheenix Yeah typical girl wanting more, she's a ho o re and I feel so sorry for this guy.
@@afrosheenix As a Finn, I don't agree. I interpreted Lauri's face as "I wonder how should I select my words because I know this is going to be published?" instead of pain. Finns are not generally known for expressive faces.
It seems like so many creators on RUclips burnout. It seems like such a beast to feed with content to stay afloat in the algorithm Thank you for sharing the rest of your story together, I'll still keep watching whatever you all put out. I really enjoyed seeing life in Finland and you both have made it a must visit place for me in the future!
Lauri and Anni, THANK YOU for the hours of entertainment, and the sharing of your lives with all of us! I'm sad to see you go your own ways, but opportunities for both of you will be massive and great! I completely agree with imbok! You are both class acts, I wish you all the best of luck and overflowing success as you continue on your new adventures!
I feel sad to learn of the divorce but it doesn't feel like an ending. I hope that you both find more happiness and fun in your new adventures, together or apart. We can all learn from the wisdom, mature outlook, mutual love and respect that you have for each other. It's very refreshing and we need more of this in the world.
Well I've watched you guys a long time. I watched you with my mom and dad. My dad died last year, but I watched this video with my mom because we really think you are some of the sweetest nicest people to become famous content creators.
We're very happy you've been able to be amicable and it was friendly. We send our blessings to both your futures. You're nice people.
And you guys speak a lot of truth.
My parents divorced and we still ended up living together in the same house after all because my dad became ill and we're a small family and he needed caregiving. Like Anni said, these are just different books. Every story is different or has a spin-off etc.
I think it's honorable and good to know limits and knowing changes are important for the individual and for life.
Wishing you both continued luck and happiness.
Kiitos kaikista näistä vuosista, olette yhdessä tuottaneet mahtavia videoita tänne RUclipsen, näitä on ollut ilo katsella ja erittäin hieno konsepti tämä uusi työmatka podcast. Kaikkea hyvää molemmille tulevaisuuden haasteisiin! Beyond the Press channellille toivoisin vielä myös jatkoa, jos vaan aika riittää tekemään lisää sisältöä 👌
Eiköhän sinne kohta taas tule uutta tavaraa btpeellekkin, minulla on pari hyvää projektia ollut tässä työn alla ja uskon, että niihin löytyy nyt uutta energiaa kohta taas.
Yay, i missed Anni so much!! Good luck to both of you on future endeavors 💪💪
fairly long time fan, very happy you're both friends and doing what you want to do, all the best for the future. anni great to see you in a video again.
What these two share is true love and respect. They love each other enough to let them go, without spite or hatred. The entire world can learn a lesson from this video. toivottaen
It went so well because your both genuinely good people! Good for you both & best of luck!
Thank you for sharing! Thank you for all your work that you've shared with us in the past and I hope you both find even more happiness in the future. Really stepping back from romance to friend isn't a bad thing, and I'm happy you can still keep that friendship in order to be free to pursue your dreams.
Growing older and apart doesn't always have to contain anger and sadness. Sure, you can feel those things, but it's important not to hold on to them. You two are a great example of that. My ex and I broke up, we were hurt and sad and then put that behind us in a healthy manner. 20 years later, we are still each other's best friend.
Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Anni, especially about your mental health. Good luck to both of you.
Hands down the most adult and genuine relationship on youtube the second Ive ever known outside my own. Dont live your lives for the world, live it how you want.
Heard and understood you in finnish but mine is so bad that I reply in english. The exitement that Anni feels I have also felt a lot of times. Started my life over maybe 10 times but nowadays there is none of it what ever I do. Wish you both all the best. You have entertained a lot of people trough the years. Hyvää jatkoo ja terveisiö ruotsista!
im gunna miss Anni's laugh.... good luck to you both :)
Aika mukava ulostulo tosiasioista, iso Respect 👍
Thank you for everything you've created together. All the best for both of you for your future plans!
Voi helvetti! I wish both of you the very best. I watched for many years and I will miss seeing Anni on the channel, or hearing her laugh in slow-mo.
Really appreciate the explanation video, and the subtitles. Like always it was done with humour and intelligence.
Thanks for all the laughs and enjoy yourselves in future.
I can't help but feel sad about your divorce, but I guess that's part of life as well. Hope you are both doing well and wish you the best for the future. As much as I like crazy Lauri I'd love to know how your new story will go Anni!
That is sad but not the end of the world. You guys are still young. We already miss both of you together but Life must go on and I prefer you happy that way. Take care.. both if you and many thanks for all of these years of videos!
Thank you much. Freedom is priceless!
Beautiful story. From beginning to end to new beginning. Much love to you both.
It's a horror story
I will always love you both.
I broke up a few month ago with my girlfriend of 5 years. And just like you, we're still friends. And just like you, we genuinely wish each other the best of everything in our lives.
It's hard for me to understand when someone says things will be better between you after the divorce, and at the same time you say there wasn't anything wrong. Because if there wasn't anything wrong then why would you get divorced?
Then again, I could never understand having an open relationship. At that point it seems like wanting someone new but not being able to admit that you want to separate even though it becomes inevitable.
Tosi hyvä video oli! :) Kiva saada esimerkki siitä, kun ero menee kivasti. Hiukan liikaa aina kohistaan kaikenlaisesta draamasta ja välillä tuntuu, että joillain on sellainen ajatus, että kun erotaan niin sit saa olla ihan niin ilkee kuin haluaa ilman mitään seurauksia. Sanotaan vain, että "kuuluu asiaan" ja sit jää kaikille edes etäisesti tilannetta seuranneille paha mieli, vaikkei sen tarvitse mennä niin.
Itse uskon, että tosi moni asia on keskustelemalla selvitettävissä niin ettei kokonaan mene välit, mutta valitettavan tavallista on, että erotilanteessa oikein yritetään saada toinen hermostumaan, että voi sit jälkeenpäin ajatella, että "no se olikin ihan paska tyyppi" (vaikka oikeesti oli sitä itsekin). Monissa avoimissa suhteissa osataan selvästi kyllä keskustella ja tää kyl kuulostaa siltä, että se keskusteluyhteys on teitä tässä helpottanut.
Tsemppii molemmille tulevaan, kuulostaa hienoilta suunnitelmilta! :)
Taitaa tosiaan olla, että kipeimmät erot syntyvät siitä kun suhdetta yritetään pakolla jatkaa liian pitkään ja tilanne räjähtää lopulta käsiin. Räjähdyksen jälkeen molemmat osapuolet ovat henkisesti niin hajalla, että eroa ei osata enää sen jälkeen hoitaa järjellä vaan riidellään henkisen hajoamisen keskellä.
First let me say, Anni, you look wonderful! Seeing you happy and smiling is fabulous. It's easy to tell that all the stress is gone and you're doing well. So happy for you. Lauri, good to see you happy also. It's good to see you both able to interact and be happy, all divorces should end so well.
Anni, I completely understand about your stress and depression, I suffer from it too. I need to get out of a relationship too but it's not so simple. I've had depression for years, maybe most of my life. You have to make changes that are good for you, but sometimes you don't realize it or know what they are. That's why its important to get good help and it looks like you did.
Again I'm happy for you both. In society these days we seem to not pay much attention to mental health, except when it's too late. I wish good fortune to you both wherever life's journey takes you.
You're both such good people and being very mature about this. I'm so glad everything is working better than expected and you're both happy with the split.
I wish you both success and happiness!!!
Thank you both for all of the joy you both provided me with your youtube channels. In March, the same thing happened to my wife and I, but after 40 years. Poor mental health played a major role in our divorce. And likewise, being amicable is the best way to go. Take good care, and thank you!
We all go through difficult situations, and it's important to come out of them as best as we can. I'm glad that you are both apparently doing very well!
Just got through four of the hardest years of my life - divorce is hard. Best to both of you.
No way are the english captions saying everything.
I Love you guys! I hope your happy moving forward!!!!
I saw Anni's video first (fresh start). It made me cry. I don't know why. You guys seem so happy in this video. I'll wish you both the best for your futures, and am glad you're still good friends. It's good to have good people in your lives, and you're both really good people.
Thank you for the fun. Im glad that you guys are not being petty and dramatic.
Hienoa että noin hyvissä mielin olette eteenpäin menossa. Kaikkea hyvää molemmille.
Kiitos! 🥰
This all makes a lot more sense.
Glad you guys are happy, still a bit sad it didn't work long term
Shame you guys went your separate ways but if you want different things from life, it goes down hill from the moment this is realised, from here either one of you have to sacrifice your wants, needs dreams etc and live feeling unfulfilled or you move on, no matter how difficult that may be, i have the opinion that once it gets to the point you are dating other people its only a matter of time until one or both fall in love with someone else and from that point separation is inevitable.
I just want to say thank you to you both for the content you created and shared with us all over the years 😎👍 wish you both all the best and happiness for the future
❤👍👍👍👍👍
Hienoa esimerkkiä myös muille, videosta jäi tosi hyvä fiilis! Toivottavasti nähdään vielä Annia tälläkin kanavalla kuulumisien merkeissä silloin tällöin.
Will miss Anni in HPC content, but I am glad that you have managed to find a way for both of you to be happier and that you are still friends :)
Also hope you are doing better now Anni, burnt out myself twice and know it's hell.
PS. Thanks for the English subtitles!
I can relate. Best wishes to the both of you! 🇺🇸 🤝 🇫🇮
It's amazing how two mature adults can work through a divorce amicably and still be friends. If only more could learn from you two.
If it weren’t for the subtitles, I would think this is a couple of good friends having a nice conversation about Finnish things.
They were!
Thank you for sharing this with us. I wish you both the best of happiness! There is much wisdom in Lauri's comment that there are bad emotions but we don't arrange our lives so we never get angry; we also don't arrange our lives so that we never face sadness or the endings of things, and it is very clear in your words and appreciation of each other that giving up the previous 12 years to avoid the ending would have been a great loss. And the affection for each other that you clearly still have is what I would aspire to in all of my relationships.
Wow, looks like they take about the same amount of care of the roads around there as they do in Wisconsin! WTF!
I really wish this video had English subtitles ): your English speaking fans are also interested in your personal life Lauri! Also, good for you too on staying amicable through the divorce
It does have subtitles, but only for 30% of what they're saying. :/
@@martinedelius enough to get the gist across. it'd be a lot transcribing 27 minutes of constant conversation!
@@martinedelius it didnt have them 6 days ago when i watched this video!
Glad to see you remain friends!
Anni if you want to visit Canada, comment back and we’ll get in touch.
It’s like Finland, but warmer and more sunshine!
This reminds me of when my grandparents would speak in Finn so I wouldn't understand them. Just catch enough of the conversation to come to my own wrong conclusions
Happy Divorce! I hope you're still friends forever; I've tried to have my longer relationships end on good terms and while other people may think it's weird, I love having friends in my life with whom I have shared that closeness. Also, I have to think that your current arrangement is working for both of you, because you're both looking *fantastic!*.
I did't get it until now. Hope all is still good❤ You two really became part of my youtube watching time. Thanks!
I've been a fan from the very early days, and I hope it is not too selfish for me to say that I will miss the two of you working together. You have brought me a lot of joy...far more than just the joy of watching things be crushed in a press.
I understand that many good things come to an end, though.
I have learned so much about Finland from you guys. Things I never would have learned otherwise.
The end of an era, to be sure.
I wish you both good luck and happy lives. I hope you still continue to post on your channels. Good luck in Lapland Anni.
As one of your polyamurous fans, I really feel happy for you to come out as poly to the community this way ^^ It´s ok, that it didn´t work out in marriage and really nice to se, that you stay friends. You can still hang out like for behind the press channel videos sometimes ^^
I´m really happy to see you ending your marriage in a nice and peaceful way abd talk so much with each other. It really shows, that you had an all in all non-toxic relationship and that there´s no bad thoughts between the both of you ^^
I ment the beyond the press channel. I´m stupid XD Thanks for the heart Lauri, it means a lot to me ^^
glad I figured out that I could turn on the closed captions to see what you were talking about ! It is nice that you cleared the air and stop the gossip in the bud. I came over because I saw Lauri with some other woman in recent video and wanted to know what was going on . Anni - you are right - there is nothing as nice as freedom to go out and explore the world ( or stay home !) .
Ehkä sosiaalisen median positiivisin ja iloisin ero osapuolten väliltä! Hyvä te! :)
I am a bit late to watch this. I wasn't subbed to this channel because it was all in Finnish. I was a bit burned out from HPC too and when things went on break from live streams it was welcome to have some time away. Then I miss it a lot. The weekend streams were such a joy and I wonder what happened. Sometimes people would say something like 'How is Anni?" or "Any word from Lauri and Anni?" but the response was always just "They are okay"
I'm glad you explained this for us. Spending years with you as a fan I would be very sad if we never got public explanation.
Aiheesta huolimatta tosi positiivisia ajatuksia herättävä video! :)
I don't speak Finnish of course but just using google translate on your notes tells me a little bit. So glad you are handling this without anger (or so it seems). You probably both realized it wasn't going to work for some time now. It always did seem like you and Anni were pretty different people. Sometimes that can work and sometimes it will work for a while and then both realize it is time to move on.
❤❤
same here
I'm a little late to this, but you two have always been so sweet to your viewers and fans, I'm happy to see you are still sweet to each other. Love doesn't always mean marriage or romance. Sometimes it's something a little different, but the level of respect still remains.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm sure it's not easy, but we appreciate the closure to our long adventures with Anni and Lauri
Also Anni you look beautiful in green!
Olipa mukava Podcasti, tästä jymyuutisesta ei jäänyt paljoa lehdistölle mässäiltävää. Kaikkea hyvää teille ja hyvää uutta vuotta myös
"tosi hyvä seikkailu" ❤️
The big (and quite rare!) maturity and open-mindedness from both of you are very valuable traits. Even more so in combination with this childlike joy you seem to have in your hearts. From personal experience I know that depression can be really tough and draining...glad to see that Anni got out of it. I wish you two all the best for your future!
(Some more translations would have been nice though ;))
Voihan surkeus. Jotain tälläistä osasin vähän aavistella. Taitaa olla ensimmäinen julkkisero, joka tuntuu kurjalta. Internetin kuningaspari tosiaan. Kiitos ihan mahtavasta sisällöstä ja onnea molemmille uusiin haasteisiin!
Kieltämättä aikas hankala oli uskoa tätä eroa todeksi, mut joskus on aika kääntää uusi sivu elämässä... ja onhan sopusa erokin ihan mahdollinen. Hyvää uutta vuotta molemmille yhdessä tai erikseen :)
When i first stumbled on a hidraulic press video , that accent and good mood was 'love' at first sight . back than you were still quite small .... I've watched each and every video from about 2016-2017 and till 2020 .Solid . Every video on every channel. Annis channel , hpc , beyond the press , slo-mo guys or thermal guys ( or what was it called) ....i don't remember that one .
Every crush , every podcast .
I've spent a new year on a live podcast with you guys.
One christmas i even got the handwritten holyday greeting card . Of course i still have it . I completet the first press android game . I was really absorbed by the content . - and you guys were absorbed in making them . I also liked Sari and Anti . Guess my interest started to ramp down when you no longer made lives , no more Sari ...stuff like that.
So that marked and end for me on HPC. But i'm still eagerly following beyond the press and Anni's channel . Unfortunately the content was/is lacking . I still check on from time to time on the beyond the press .
The news are kinda shocking, but that's just my opinion , and not how you guys feel. I'm glad you divorced on good terms.
Honestly i'd really like at least a quaterly update from the Anni channel .... to see what's up. I've asked this question 1-2 times on instagram , but got no response , of course this is understandable , considering the amount of fans you guys have - and all the guys woud like to bang those "thick thighs" ( yeah i remember that comment some years ago , by some dude...:)))) i think you even responded :)) )
In conclusion; thank you Anni for all the good times and the extra contents
To Lauri i'd have to say i look forward to the new stuff , but honestly HPC was never my big love(i mean that got me started , but after so many crushings , it loses it's glamour) , it was always the beyond the press channel .
ps: still waiting for the 1000Tonn press ( but i've also watched the explanation video , where you tell us why it's hard to get one)
pps: i really tought you guys would get old togheter , maybe it was not ment to be , maybe...who knows .
I wish the best luck to the both of you .
there's more to write and ask , but the comment is soon gonna turn into a 4 page essay ....so i'll let it rest . :D moi moi
Thank you so much for all your entertainment and laughter. I wish you both the very best.
Glad you are both doing well, wish you the best for whatever is next!
I just love anne her vibe and her laugh will be missed...so i just leave with wishing you guys both the best...especially anne with her mental state..sending you guys good vibes and love
I just learned about this and honestly after years of watching you guys my heart sank. But I am really happy that you are on good terms.
Going to miss your videos together.
Thank you for the good content and the laughs throughout the years. Wish you both the best.
Semppiä teille ja onnea omissa poluissanne ❤️
This was great, refreshing to see anni even if maybe the last time, she's awesome. Happy for your futures.
Good treatment of Seiska caller! Good you both are on your way to fulfil/set best goals possible! So happy for the both of you!
paras työmatka podcasti tähän mennessä! Ja kai vielä vois sanoa että boonuspisteet Annista! :)
All the best to you both.
So glad you two are happy!
If a marriage doesnt work out i see nothing wrong with exercising divorce as an option and if you can stay friends then all the better. I always remembered the day you guys got married was the exact same day my wife and I got married. But best of luck to both of you in the future with however it goes for both of you.
This seemed to be very Finnish to me. Practical, frank, matter-of-factly joking discussion. Perkele? Anni looks a lot better than she did in some of the videos, probably from the lack of stress.
Best of luck to both of you moving forward. Amazing videos. I know YT is a tough commitment, especially to make it succeed, and it's split other couples.
