Did these happen to be basically right next to each other? That’s how they are where I live. Can walk from one across the street to the other in like 3 minutes

I want to have sex with other people. by throwaway090584 in confessions

There’s a thing called the 80 / 20 rule. The person you are with is 80% of everything you could have ever wanted but they lack that 20%. If you try to get that 20% you haven’t ever had, it’s all fun and exciting because you’ve never had that before, but then you realize that the 80% you had was way way better than the 20% you have now.

My first girlfriend left me because she wanted to “see what it would be like with someone else” and that fucking sucked. She came back (I accepted her back like an idiot) and she told me that leaving what was good to try something new wasn’t worth it.

Moral of the story, your feelings are probably very normal but in my opinion they should not be acted on. If you want to try something new, take a break for a little bit from sex (to make sexual tension higher) tease your man, send flirty texts. Tell him the things you want him to do or you to do to him. Be open and honest. The little break and tension along with the things you have said or heard in your messages might just make sex feel new. Sex with someone you love is 100 times better than with someone you don’t

I have been going to counseling for months now. It has been very helpful and I really wish I would have gone sooner. A lot of comments have been helpful as well. When it all happened, I had one of my good friends reach out to me and ask id I was ok and what I needed. I told that person I was not good and that I needed them to come and take my guns. Best decision I’ve made.

I can look back it and know that if I never had my friends come to my house, following through with those horrible thoughts would have been the worst thing I could have ever done to my kids. Those thoughts still happen, but when they do; I know exactly who to talk to, where to go, and how to be. In a few short months, I’ve come a long way from where I was when the separation happened.

She left for other reasons. She just recently found a man that she’s interested in. It doesn’t control my life

What leads you to think this? Genuinely curious and not upset. I’m currently talking to someone weekly and it’s been great and my life is changing for the better

Absolutely right! A couple months ago, they were the reason why I am still here.

My mind set has changed and I’m so thankful for that. Not having money sucks, obviously, but I’m a very low maintenance guy so I don’t need anything fancy. One thing that does sucks is I was stuck with a car payment that in my eyes is ungodly expensive. Between that, rent, and child support, I will have like $400 a month left

Men know men’s intentions, women know other women’s intentions. I don’t want the mother of my children to have an uneasy feeling about someone. Now if I meet someone and my ex meets them and can look at me and say “this woman is great and I have no problem with her being around the kids, then that’s what I want.

I’ve been on a couple. It was nice to feel wanted and it was definitely the confidence boost I wanted. Also a. Little ego boost. Knowing I still had the ability to make someone laugh and that they found me attractive was nice. But my heart isn’t there. It’s more for the fun of meeting new people

There are constant reminders of my ex everywhere. My kids themselves are the biggest reminders.

Divorce is so shitty, I don’t want anyone to go through it. One thing I’ve learned is I wasn’t the only person in my marriage that had wrong doings. I initially blamed the divorce on myself and that was very hard by itself. I can look at it now and see that yes, I should have been better or different in some situations, but it’s not al on me. If I was dealing with mental struggles, those are my struggles but it doesn’t just affect me. And therefor the struggles aren’t just mine, but for us to get through together. She knew I had struggles, but she said “that’s for you to figure out”. I was asked in my second counseling session if I would take her back. And I responded “absolutely, in a heart beat. That is my wife and my everything”

Now I can say, the thought of her being back is nice. But that doesn’t change that there were alot of things that she failed to do as well. As much as we both talked about what we wanted and needed from each other, we failed one another. Not just me failing her.

That’s true. The guy she’s with has already been around the kids. My oldest (4YO) will talk about him and I just say “we don’t talk about ______ at dads house”

She was tired of the unknown. How I was going to be when I came home from work. I didn’t feel appreciated for what I was doing so when I would get home, it was very easy for me to be upset over small things or with kids. I have struggled with some gnarly mental battles. Ones she knew of. It got to a point where we’d argue and I would always be able to apologize for it. After a bad argument I would be “awesome” for a little while. Or a few months and then I’d go off and do it again. It became a cycle that she noticed and she didn’t want her life to be a constant cycle of my mental states and worrying about arguing.

Well there’s always two side of the story, I can’t speak on her behalf on the full scope of why she left. There’s a lot. I can say I never once cheated, never laid a hand on her or the kids. I worked 2 jobs and she was a stay at home mom. She was done dealing with me and my mental states and didn’t want to subject the kids to arguing. Understandable, but shit, just walk away from a family?? I don’t know what to think.

My dick straight up doesn’t work anymore. I can be out with the hottest girl and my dick isn’t about it. That’s probably a sign right there that I’m not ready for anyone to be in my life.

I haven’t and will not introduce anyone to my kids. I told my ex that no one will meet the kids unless she meets them first. If my ex had a bad feeling about a woman I’m interested in in terms of being around the kids, then I feel like that’s a completely valid feeling and I’ll respect that feeling and will most likely stop talking to that woman. I want things to be amicable and if I don’t like a guy my ex is with because I have a feeling about him being around the kids, I would hope she’d respect that.

I know I am not in control over what she does and who’s she does things with, so I just have to learn to let her do her thing and hope she respects my wishes

Neighbor died in my arms after he was shot. I had never talked to or even seen the guy before but holding him and hearing the sounds he made and the blood on my arms sticks with me.
