I have been a long time believer that what separates adults from children is desperately WANTING a nap, and desperately NEEDING a nap.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Gud, I really don't get that.
I don't really get that either. I do get to deal with it though. Okay, I've got my important bills lined up and looking through the bank account activity it looks like she at least called in payments for the mortgage and the car.
On the plus side, if I'm handling the money maybe I can figure out the mystery of why we're seemingly always sort on money when the car payment plus mortgage is only 1/4 of my net income.

I fear there is another unhappy revelation in your near future. I don't know what but that doesn't make sense either.

The YMCA I emailed last week called me! I called them this morning and they hadn't gone through the resumes yet, but she called while I was on my way home tonight! Whooo! I really really want this job. Maybe it'll turn into something I could do full time!
Gud. I have no words, love. Strength and patience to you.

I'm being an armchair psychiatrist here, Gud, but your wife sounds like she's severely depressed. Is she taking anything?

Yep, she's taking stuff (I know the stuff and the dosage, but I feel weird posting that).

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Gud, I'm so sorry things are so rotten right now.
I apologize for my own whining -- bad timing on my part.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If people just stopped *needing* things from me, there'd be no problem
Ah, see, I'm my problem. I need too many things from me, and that sets off a chain reaction I can't quite control, and can't quite pull out of.
People stopping needing things from me would be nice, but it'd be stopgap, at best. I need to learn to take care of myself properly, or someone to step in and pick up the slack for just a little while. Uhuh, right.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yikes, Gud. She stopped paying and didn't tell you? Can you talk to her spiritual guide at her church? I mean, this puts your kids at risk, which is really scary and does sound like depression.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
Gud, I hate to pile any worse news on you, but I'd start looking for credit cards you don't know about. Seriously, I've seen someone lose his house, his car and have to take out massive loans because of the wife's spending habits. Loans he's still paying off, even though they're divorced. I hope you don't find any, but it's so easy to conceal that kind of thing.
