Who’s the latest comedian who’s bit about old guys dink pills that are only necessary because they are banging old wrinkly people. Imagine being told your husband would rather band a dude than yourself because you are so awful.
It's a Jimmy Carr joke that comes to mind for me. "The reason old men use Viagra is not that they are impotent. It’s that old women -- are so very ugly."

I envy people that have good marriages, but not enough to put my nuts back into that grinder, my ex has now broken up with the guy she married after me and is texting me confessing she never appreciated what a good man I am and she should have tried harder, I have a kid with her so said nothing but in my head I'm thinking
'No you tried just hard enough for me to see the light and get out!'
She is claiming her new ex might be gay and again I aint saying nothing but am thinking 'no just like me in the end you were so unpleasent he dont want to screw you either, neither of us are gay, it's just you'
My commiserations, divorce sucks, but when it's over there is peace, get a decent lawyer, dont worry about stuff, furniture and the like, make sure you only sign up for child support do not go near spousal, pay up front to avoid it if you have to
It shouldn’t be such a satisfying emotion, but when I found out my ex girlfriend and her husband were going splitsville the schaedenfreud was through the roof. I ran into him at a grocery store and we chatted for a few minutes, he looked utterly defeated and all I could really say was “I know exactly what you’re going through”. I got to walk away with my awesome wife and son in tow, life is pretty great.

Move went great. Wife loves her new job. I love my new job. Island living has been a pleasant surprise. Two miscarriages in a year. ####
Sorry to hear the last part. Successfully making a kid is harder than MTVs Teen Mom makes it look.
Get on the doctors / testing early is what I've seen be successful with couples in our circle. Father time is the real enemy in this process. With time its amazing what they can figure out.
Best wishes on your journey.

Maybe you’ve heard from other couples but miscarriages are a lot more common than what is talked about. My wife (probably) had a super early miscarriage, the next one was successful. We know another couple who had 2 and the third time was the charm. Of our friend group there’s more couples with at least 1 than there is without any.
It’s a bit depressing to hear, but the positive side is that lots of people have experience with it if you ever need to vent.

I made a point of meeting up with my ex's now ex husband (as it was unlikely I would see him again after their divorce) to let him know that I really appreciated that he was a great step dad to my daughter which didn't please my ex much, even though we are all in our mid to late 60's the whole thing reeked of high school level drama

I was finally given a full clinical diagnosis for OCD about five years and put on a treatment plan that I've stuck to ever since. I take a handful of pills every morning and go see a specialist every three months, and I've never been happier.
There is good help out there but it is very hard to find.

Well, this was indeed a fun read after (another) fight with my wife. Weirdly, though, it was encouraging to hear that other people are going through #### as well. It makes me realize I am not the only one.
I won't get into my mess at this time (Narrator: but he does get into his kyit anyways), but I am on meds and they are literally keeping me alive, along with the fact that I have two daughters. The f'ed up thing about mental health is that it convinces me that people would be better off if I were gone. The rational part of my mind realizes this is not true, and things like the billy-bob post (which I am not strong enough to listen to right now, but I am pretty sure what the message is), and what my therapist tells me about the effect of suicide on survivors. Although my wife has told me that her life would be easier if I were not in it, it would still probably count as a net negative. Who else would take out the bins?
The worse things get, the more I think about it. I was in Home Depot and saw a coil of rope for like three bucks and thought, 'That would do the trick.'
If I miss a dose for 1 day, the thoughts come raging in.
I left my hellish job in August and started another one in September. After 3.5 weeks, they told me I was not the right 'fit'. This was after 6 months of interviews, assignments, tests, and all kinds of bull####. When I told them I would not be registered with a client's company that was associated with the family of a total piece of #### who is currently running a crypto scam (and demolishing the east wing of a famous house, among many other shtty things), they told me I was not a fit. Probably a bullet dodged, but FML.
Now I am trying to figure out how to pay the bills. I have been in my industry for over 20 years, and I don't know if I can work for another narcissistic #######. The industry is replete with them; they think they know everything when they actually don't know #### all and don't realize it until the bell tolls for them and the regulators come calling. Most execs in the industry are #######s. Most advisors, too. Slava seems like an exception that proves the rule.
Anyhoodles, another reason I am still around is my therapist. She has been working with me for about 3 years now. She does specialize in PTSD and works with many cops and firefighters. She is also pretty down-to-earth. She may recommend journaling, and for some people, that really works (and as much as we all may bitch about that we are doing a fck ton of it in this thread, and on this site), but it is not the only arrow in her quiver. It has taken me this long, with her help and guidance, to realize how messed up I was from my childhood and my parents' total lack of parenting skills. In a weird way, it has allowed me to forgive them, to a certain degree. But I am also seeing that how I grew up had a massive impact on who I am now and the tools I have to manage my emotions —or lack thereof. (As an aside, from this vantage point, I can totally see that she knew the path we would have to travel, but that I had to take the steps myself. She was very patient in allowing me to determine the pace, even though it must be irritating as hell for her when she must want to yell at me, "This is your problem, this is why you have it, and this is what you have to do to fix it!!' Clearly, she never did.)
Here is her website. I probably should not be sharing this, as she is hard enough to get into as it is, but it sounds like a bunch of you could use her help.
If you do see her, keep in mind it might not be the right fit for you, and that is okay. I think she is my 3rd or 4th, but I am very grateful I kept trying.

There is no set timeline for recovery. Been there done that with my own therapy years ago. She is leading you in a direction where you come out and admit this is your problem. Telling someone does no good until they realize it themselves. She sounds like an excellent therapist who knows what she is doing.
Here is something to think and ponder on. Suicide is not a matter of choice. The profound depression that motivates most suicides is a disease. This disease causes a level of pain so profound that it twists one’s ability to assess risk, to make good choices, to maintain a sense of future possibilities. When people act out of this depression, they are not exercising free choice. They are falling victim to a disease. This disease is not about logic or self interest. It is about an immediate desire to be dead.
Don't ever lose that rational mind of yours. That's why you're still here with us today. Don't give up and keep fighting

I can remember in the absolute hellish depths of my separation, having moved into a crappy single bedroom appt' with whatever rec room furniture my friends and neighbors donated, not being able to see my daughter except when my ex wanted to go out and needed a babysitter, driving along a windy mountain road from Chilliwack Lake on a dark rainy night and thinking
'I could just drive of the road down that cliff and into the river, it would look like an accident, no one would know'
I knew my kid needed me though and that no matter how crap life was I could find a way to dig out of it, which I did in the end
The best and worst thing about growing up working class in the UK is you don't expect life to be pleasant so when the crap hits the fan it doesn't tend to be as depressing, Marvin the Robot from Hitchikers is clearly British!!

Thanks titan, I’m avoiding thanking that on purpose.
I used to visit this suicide message board. I think it got banned since because it was insane. It was almost more sophisticated than this place. There would be sections where people would announce their intentions and you weren’t allowed to convince them not to do it.
Another section where it described all the methods and what is the most efficient, most likely to be final.
I bought coax cable for the purpose, but for some reason that bizarre insane message board helped me realize I will never do that. Hell, my life is pretty good compared to these denizens.
My brother hung himself in his kitchen for his wife and three young kids to find him. My best friend killed himSelf flying a Cessna into the ground. My molester killed himself. My mom killed herself with MAID. All horrible for everyone but them.
You are hilarious here and your bizarre sense of humour, I love. So stay for me!!!

I’ve always hated the analogy that the person afraid to jump off the diving board isn’t brave. They are brave. If you don’t think something is safe, or you just don’t want to do something, and you act on that, that’s brave. That’s being true to yourself.

Dude. What a life you have led. I can't imagine doing it so the kids could see. The wife, I can get my head around. The Cessna thing also happened in the States, and there is a video of it. Pretty sad. Good about the molester. Mom is a tough one, of course.
####ty.
Being able to see your life is better than many others is a big part of it I think. Why this thread helps. Also, selling everything and becoming a beach bum in Thailand is a pretty good option.
Finally, giving the fans what they are clamouring for. I was going to reply with only this, but I thought that would be too stark:

Definitely not a wondrous life. Molo was the coolest guy around until he wasn’t.
The simpsons clip, oh there was back door shenanigan. (Not plural).
That’s why I think I get a free pass to make gay jokes. In the club but reluctantly. Like the guy on Seinfeld who converted to Judaism to make Jewish jokes.
