I actually think about this sometimes. I think about what social, physiological, and mental health factors contribute. To begin with, I think that adult entertainment is at the forefront of this dynamic I remember growing up in the 90s and remember hearing people complains that "sex is...

Before anything, I want to say that I certainly hope that you're in a better place today than when you originally wrote this message. This comment stood out to me, and I am in no way about to minimize your dilemma, but I do want to share how MY views changed on this. To begin with, you sound...

I hope that your friend knows that they have a great friend in you all the way across the world who worried the way you did. I hope that your friend can appreciate what a great reason for living that is.

I have been thinking about this a lot recently, but just now I was thinking of it as I get dressed to go out for the day. People always have this idea that being a first generation person from another country in my country is this noble thing because we help translate for our parents. I speak...

When I was a kid, I used to love watching pro wrestling. I have not watched in many many years. I don't even know what its like today. But one of the wonders of the internet/tech in the last 20 years is podcasts. And bunch of the wrestlers from when I was a kid make podcast telling old...

wow- you nailed it lol

Ok, so you ARE a female. That confirms it. Her comment about feeling like she loses something by marrying me was hurtful, and she refused to apologize. But you think that's correct. Your logic and her logic are identical. Your logic is "I hurt your feelings, so you should apologize to me."...

I hear ya. But I am going to take a guess and say you're a female because it sounds here like you did a little selective reading. NO- I didn't ignore her all week. We talked each evening but it was general small talk unrelated to the situation. At the end of the week when I felt comfortable and...

I dunno. People like me probably give up because of dickheads like you. You just did EXACTLY the same thing the woman in my post (the ex) did. I take a minute to be honest that I was not an attentive or focused partner. So I worked really hard and became that. And it still wasn't good enough...

I was sitting here thinking about how nice companionship is. As I am pushing 40, yes, as a man, I finally see the value in companionship. My last break up happened 2 months ago in July. I met a nice woman with a lot to offer and good head on shoulders. A doctor. Nice lady. We had what you would...

Thank you for this thoughtful post/sentiment. And believe me, I got the lesson and am thinking of the boundaries I can set. For now, just as you eluded in your post, I am just processing my feelings and I feel like I've turned the corner from "hurt" to just "tired". I'm tired and I think I want...

Hi Sci-Fi Thank you for these kind words. I felt this a lot. You're right. I think a lot of people who have a natural aversion to work thinks ANYTHING related to a job is dumb. But people underestimate how a nice hard earned win can be. What you described about everyone sharing everything on a...

That's certainly fair. So maybe I should clarify. No, her having these things in life is not a bad thing. And its NOT a competition. You're right. That wasn't the point of that part of the post. I mention it because I was illustrating that we are not fighting for the same things. I want to have...

Before anything else, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to read and commiserate. I know it was a long post but I just needed to vent when I left work today and after some dinner and a smoke, I feel a lot better. I also wanted to thank you for the advice about leap frogging. And that is...

I just need to vent this because I really don't have anyone to speak to about it. Im about to quit my career of 7 years. I chose to do it because I am extremely skilled at it. I have put in the kind of work that they say you should when you want to master something. I love to do it. I don't...

I experiences something similar. I was already hip as to what RPGs were because I used to watch my older brother play final fantasy for NES. But I just didn't know the rules. I had seen the cartoon only a few times, and heard other kids talking at school. So when I started playing, I remember...

Hi. I would like to weigh in here. If you are calling your mother and have a long work day, that means you have cultivated your own life for yourself. Its tough, because we tend to feel obligations to our families. Also, you always have love for them, no matter how dysfunctional things can be...

You referring to that Pokemon banner as "retro" made me feel like I got punched in the stomach 😂😂😂 That was the art style of Pkmn on folders, pencils, notebooks, EVERYTHING when I was a kid and got into it. Sigh- where does time go?

Thank you for sharing with this @Colster - in a weird way, it makes me feel better that someone else can commiserate with these thoughts. There are times where loyalty to the family can cause people to second guys their own feelings and make them feel selfish. But I guess I'm old enough to see...
