Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hugs to all who have loved and lost in either divorce or death. It just plain sucks.
My sister lost her husband in an accident when they were in the midst of a particularly bad spell. It wasn't a healthy relationship, and most of the family quietly believes it would have ended in divorce had he lived. But he didn't, so she gets to have those unfun what if questions hanging over her head. That was 30 years ago and she never dated even once after he died.
It was a rough morning, and I'm trying to be productive though I'm feeling so down and stressed that I've become physically ill. Ugh.
Sorry for being a bit of downer today. It's just, well, there's nobody else I can tell.
It's just, well, there's nobody else I can tell.
Dude, it's why we're *here*.
We're here for you, Gud, and we'll listen. You don't need to apologize for a rough morning.
No need for apologies, Gud. I hope that you don't feel piled on when we try and let you know how we see you. You deserve to have joy and love and happiness and a big part of it is just accepting that you really do deserve it. Maybe try and pick something fun to do this weekend no matter what responsibilities are on the list. Taking care of yourself is on the list too.
Hugs for you, Gud. I would send you a kitten or puppy to snuggle if I could.
Gud, we're here for you, and you don't need to apologize.
Yeah Gud, we're here for you whether you need reassurance or just somewhere you can vent.
Can't resist:
who in the hell thinks about leaving a spouse who just found out they have cancer?!?!
Newt Gingrich?
I don't think I'm good enough to be in a relationship.
Well, that's just not so. It's ok for you not to be in a relationship, of course, but it will never be because you are not good enough. You are terrific. And you don't have to apologize for sharing your hard time, I'm really glad you are telling us this stuff, especially if you don't have another outlet.
You, too, Zen.
Maria, hearing about EMTguy makes me happy.
I recently listened to the This American Life on The Perils of Intimacy and it turns out I was not ready for that story about the identity theft. Unresolved stuff with the late DH is unresolved. And if I am honest, a big part of why I am not interested in seeking out a romantic relationship now is that I don't want to work on my own shit. I mean, I kind of am working on my shit as I have the energy, but (as I say too often about too many things) I can only do what I can do and sometimes that is not very much. And knowing that it is not enough, if that can be objectively set, does not make me able to do more. So.
