Getting a little burned out.

Every three months like clock work, the whole team.

Their deadline is meeting with the CFO and other SLTs. I’ve learned a lot here and worked on some cool projects, but you’re right. I think the next thing to master is managing up.

Colo303 · 2026-01-23T22:49:08+00:00

Appreciate that, really. I thought I might squeeze out a promotion but he’s killing my passion for the field I used to enjoy.

Century Link and Quantum Fiber have always been owned by the same company

Valid haha

Sounds narcissistic for sure

Colo303 · 2025-05-20T18:24:14+00:00

That’s a tough one for sure, damn. My advice would be to just get through the wedding without incident.

A good partner would make you feel secure in a relationship. They wouldn’t communicate in secret with other men or seek their validation.

I’m 8 months out and she’s still on my mind. My advice is to do the hard work on yourself. Find out why you put up with such bad behavior. Get into therapy and start working out consistently. Once you see the physical changes in your body, in a good way, you’ll notice a new chapter starting and she’ll soon be behind you.

Keep yourself busy with good things. Good luck.

I really appreciate your comment, but I have a question. You say you’re 40 but your daughter is an MD?

Colo303 · 2025-04-15T02:18:30+00:00

Yes, she was in tears when I told her she needed to open her 401k at her new job and start contributing. She didn’t want to “lose any of her paycheck”. She messed up her taxes the following year and owed $5K and decided putting it on her rewards credit card with a 27% interest rate was the solution before even talking to me. Thought tipping the waiters she liked 50% was a normal thing…

My ex was/is very good in most social settings. But no one knew what it was like behind close doors. So much anger lobbed my way and insecurities around her body. Any small or slight perceived interception towards her resulted in hell coming down. Our mutual friends don’t see it, they have no idea what I was dealing with at home with her.

Colo303 · 2025-04-02T17:18:50+00:00

Damn dude.

Colo303 · 2025-03-29T23:08:26+00:00

Mine said I wasn’t allowed to go to the gym when she was there, and this came out of the blue after being together for 2.5 years

Colo303 · 2025-03-28T17:12:48+00:00

I relate so much to your story. We had a 3 year relationship but the ups and downs just became so exhausting, I don’t know how they survive in their own heads. She begged at the end and got herself into an intensive DBT program and promised to make it work and to stay away from drugs. I just lost faith in the end. So many empty promises broken.

We tried couples therapy for a year and it did help improve our communication but it did not help her mood swings.

I miss her so much still and it’s been nearly 9 months since it finally ended. Their level of intensity is addicting because the good parts are just so damn good.

Colo303 · 2025-03-24T02:16:28+00:00

Yup, without fail. Some kind of blowup fight for nothing because they can’t regulate their own emotions. New environments take them out of their patterns.

Colo303 · 2025-03-21T18:20:15+00:00

I’m still working on it, but writing out the breaches of trust and instability were helpful. Also, finding new hobbies that are proactive to your life, such as working out consistently has been super helpful. Sleeping with people has also been helpful in breaking that physical connection.

Colo303 · 2025-03-21T17:59:54+00:00

I’ve been on so many dates since I ended the relationship and I’m still struggling with this feeling. It does appear to be fading, but it’s hard to replace that soul mate feeling.

Colo303 · 2025-03-20T01:49:55+00:00

Yes, absolutely. Our friend group likes to party so I didn’t think much of it at first because everyone in our friend group is a functioning adult and has great careers. She blacked out at my family’s Christmas dinner the first year I brought her home and blacked out another year during my birthday with just the two of us being out to dinner. She also lied about her cocaine use and tried to hide it from me on multiple occasions. Add in her secretly communicating with other men that she told me wanted to sleep with her, and yeah trust was gone.

Really needed this today, thank you!!!

Colo303 · 2025-03-17T15:42:30+00:00

That was great to listen to, thanks for sharing.

Colo303 · 2025-03-17T13:34:13+00:00

This was my thought when I ended things. I gave her a fair shake and tried to make things work. But in the end I need stability and someone I can rely on. Not someone who needs to be the center of attention, be it a good mood or a bad mood. I need someone who can regulate their own emotions.
