Well put.
Have you ever been in love? just asking
no, longer than that
So how long?
6, closer to 7 so still not long but this still fucking kills me
it’s gone from not being able to stop crying to an unbearable physically painful weight in my chest. i miss him so fucking much
rabiddog my parents have been together almost 30 years. i know you’re trying to be a cool edgy cynic but you look stupid.
fancypants… will hearing someone else’s seriously fucked up story make you feel better? 
only good side of mine? lost 50 lbs in a month (now I just have to actually WORK at losing more).
probably
well I’m sure noone wants to read a novel, so the tl;dr version is:
married to my wife of 11 years, mother of my 5 kids.
Christmas day she tells me she is in love with another man. (came as a COMPLETE shock)
Says no amount of talking or counseling will help, she “loves him too much”. (they had been communicating for a WHOLE month).
2 days later she moves in with him. (guy has 3 page police record, is a drunkard and a druggie, and seems a bit… slow)
continued being WAY too nice to her, begged her to come home, I’m guessing, more than 100 times in the coming months.
She agreed 4 of those times, then backed out the day she was supposed to move back in.
she broke up with the guy after 3 1/2 months…
we were officially divorced in July (which she blames me for since I said it’s what I wanted in court… guess it doesn’t matter that she said it first).
I’m also possibly about to be homeless because of the child support I will be paying. I have the kids more than 50% of their waking hours, but that doesn’t matter, because the state decides child support by who has them overnight ONLY.
probably a confusing mess, but… yeah
ETA: she was mentally and verbally abusive throughout the marriage so I should be happier now, but I’m still not.
everyone told me “you’ll get used to sleeping alone again in 6 months, tops”
BS… still not used to it. I haven’t slept good this year yet.
I’m sorry you had such a shitty family and parents that weren’t there for you.
holy shit that blows, im really sorry
feel better? 
dude 
- sorry for your situation man I cant image how that would feel.
Sure glad I have full custody of my daughter.
yeah, it’s pretty shitty, Sarah.
I keep hoping things will get better, but things just seem to be getting worse.
I am looking into apartments (BEST place for 5 kids :S ) and into a second job (and hoping she won’t go after income from that job too).
She told me she would not take child support from me and she said “I have my own money and understand you will need yours to support the kids”, but then went back on it.
It makes it REAL hard to look into dating when you are always broke, you don’t know where your going to live, and everyone runs away when you say you have 5 kids…
eh, life goes on and got to keep my head up and make sure THEY are ok.
ETA: on a lighter note… My son, eldest daughter, and I can’t WAIT to play Black Mesa!!!
ETA2: noticed how many people responded to me! well I guess this still works as a response to you all, not just Sarah.
on a weird side-note… Sarah is my exes name you don’t seem as mean and inherently evil as her, Sarah 
haha
real talk, that’s some f’ed up stuff. I hope things get better for you. I wish there was something I could do to help you out.
My girlfriend broke up with me less then 3 weeks ago and I have been an emotional wreck since. I helped my girlfriend deal with some very stressful things in her life like her attempts at suicide, etc. Now 3 days ago one of my friends broke into his fathers gun cabinet and blew his head off at 17 years old. That brought back painful memories of my ex and all of the awesome things i did for her to cheer her up. I am now left thinking of what might happen to her because she has already gone back to her old ways and she is without me. I feel so bad.
holy shit I guess a lot of people really need to play some BM and blow a load of steam off in this thread.
BM devs- entertainment entrepreneurs, and therapeutic assistants <3
This thread is really fucking grim, cheer up, at least you WERE in a relationship not so long ago
Black Mesa is coming in 2 days, let’s cheer up, fuck this people who hurted/hurt you, in the end, there are other fish in the sea, in the end, you are BETTER off them
I’ve had many people wanting to help if they could. Not sure I’d accept it unless I could do something for them.
My father won’t even help me. He is the one kicking me out of my current house. A house I’m currently renting from him. It is completely paid off. He also has 4+ extra bedrooms in his house that aren’t being used… but he thinks I should be able to take care of all my problems on my own… guess he’s right.
He’s always been one to use everything as a lesson, a learning experience, rather than help out.
The places I’m finding to rent (including apartments) are as high or almost as high in rent as what I’m currently paying, so I don’t see what I can really do. I’m so screwed at this point it’s not even funny… my bank account has been overdrafted since last thursday and will be until my paycheck gets deposited this thursday.
I guess I’m paying utilities and using whatevers left to pay the deposit and other stuff for whereever I find to live, if anywhere. and will just have to deal with the wrath of my dad for not paying this month rent…
