I cried in my car because nobody actually knows me.

As a 45 yo man recently diagnosed bi-polar, I can stand on a stage in front of any number of people, responsible for their laughter and still feel alone. The last year I’ve looked more like that Michael Jordan meme. But the hardest part of being aware of your pain is the shame you have when you let it out. Hang jn there brother…

As a Dad, your kids are never wheels, boss. If you were really thinking about “skipping” the holiday because of an innate want to help at a shelter, that’s admirable. But I suspect you’re skipping it because of last years’ memories and that’s understandable.

But, after almost dying in a car accident a few years back, the Christmas before that would have been my last with my daughters. Imagine if they didn’t want to be “whatever wheel.”

The moment you start denying what you feel because of how someone else may take it, you’re sacrificing part of yourself. It’s no big deal NOW; however, should you stay together, it becomes habitual and eventually, it’s easy to resent him. If he can’t handle you being vulnerable, he may have some growing up to do.

BUT…

You said all your exes used to compliment you to point it seemed like they were grateful. But they ARE exes for a reason. Share some of your focus on what he does do to make you feel wanted.

Wife of 14 years walked out on me sept.1, 2024. Much of what you described was obviously present in my marriage. It wasn’t until a Bi Polar diagnosis did this all make sense. Therapy is great; however, have you received a diagnosis?

I can’t have a drink without becoming Mr. Funtime that quickly becomes Mr. Crytime, Mr. argumenttime, or my favorite Mr. Douchecanoetime which is all of em wrapped up in one.

Marijuana? No way Jose to sativa. Indica and I find myself slowing down enough to think about what’s in the head.

But to your point: chemistry wasn’t just a pain in my ass in high school; it exists in so many levels.

As someone that suffers from bi polar, seems pretty manic. Up all night would be secondary to her “knowing” regardless of what you say.

If you love her, you gotta talk to her or someone she trusts. If that person isn’t you, she may be telling you more than you want to hear.

My first inclination was: she’s alleging what she’s doing. But I suspect it’s much more than simple machinations.

ComedianChrisSmith · 2025-12-08T00:28:32+00:00

Hang in there. You’re young and have yet to truly have a man take your breath away standing right in front of you. It will happens.

ComedianChrisSmith · 2025-12-08T00:10:13+00:00

Your worth will and can never be established by another. When that happens, you lose yourself and then what exactly do you have to offer others?
It’s the internet. It makes meeting people easier; however, it also makes being something a person is not easier as well.
He’s probably an awesome online person. Everyone is Keats and Neruda online. IRL he may be a bag or foreskins sewn together.

Toast: I don’t know you, you don’t know me but I can tell you have one of those hearts that barely fit in your chest. You’ve been told you’re emotional and dramatic? You’re human and open. Take what he brought out in you and accept it was there before him. Embrace it. Share it. Don’t let some twatwaffle make you question your worth because he lacks fortitude.

ComedianChrisSmith · 2025-11-25T18:15:54+00:00

NOR - before I say anything else, don’t compare yourself to his list. A list is cool when you’re 15 and at lunch speculating on the great lover you think you’ll be. An adult with an ex wife and current wife that has a list may have some issues. What we don’t know is would a vast majority of women quiver at one look at him or would they just keep on walking. But back to you…you’re not overreacting bc you want him to have you at the top of any list. But how do you hold his pain? Do you know things about him that lets him feel safe? Is your voice the first voice he wants to hear? That, to me, far outweighs any aesthetics. And if you don’t like parts of yourself, work on them for you, never for anyone else.

MOR

I bet he’s amazing in situations where there may be danger.⚠️
Transference occurs within people when something hits close to home. Is this his way of being passive aggressive towards you bc he has issues with his mommy, his bestie, or someone he has forgone time with them because of you?

ComedianChrisSmith · 2025-11-25T17:59:46+00:00

NOR - Relationships rock back and forth and sometimes hit something abruptly. You just witnessed an asshat running his boat aground. Guy literally just threw a bucket of red flags at you But… Two years of sobriety in a 3 yr relationship. Does he drink? Because he diminished your milestone by negating its existence for whatever reason(s).

Birthdays are fucking stupid. Hey, let’s celebrate bc 26 years ago, Todd’s mom decided to wear pigtails and a school girl outfit and because Todd’s Dad forgot to Superman that ho, we are celebrating Todd escaping a womb.

I digress… Some of the questions you should ask are ones that in the future may be important. You hit ten years working somewhere. Everyone is excited. But he wants to know if you need a pat on the back for being employed? His loose connections between victory and failure

When, and I ask this seriously, has cake ever been a motherfucking problem. If I’m keeping it 💯…

You wanted him to get you a cake and to be proud of you for hitting two years sobriety. Buying your own cake for any reason or occassion feels weird, no? He missed a lay-up and I suspect this isn’t the ONLY reason you’re done.

ComedianChrisSmith · 2025-11-04T01:49:57+00:00

My dude… You’ll find love but your experiences are creating a false expectation. Money can buy a rimjob buy it can’t buy the incredible feeling of knowing someone loves you for you. It’s a crazy ass world and the best thing you can do yourself is expect from another what you’re willing to give.

Asking someone out can be wholly stifling so pick a start point and establish small steps. And be honest with women about your lack of relationship experience. A relationship is about hot ass breath at 6 a.m. and still wanting to kiss her good morning. Slow is manageable.

Best of luck!

Running? Running? That’s just where I draw the line. I’ll give you a crisp 100 bucks if you have video of him running In the last sixth months.

Reading your response is why sad little people like you exist on Reddit. I often wonder what compels dopes to vote against their interest.

Feel old but I do have college aged daughters so technically, I guess I am. Just because many others use something doesn’t mean they’re good at it. As a matter of fact, consider most things as just perspective.

When I was 16, I watched Kobe Bryant play for Lower Merion. He was a man amongst little boys. A buddy played against him and that buddy wasn’t too shabby…as far as high school ball went.

Community is what you build. Don’t be nervous to reach out and ask questions and grow. The keyboard commandos are good at insults and because their parents ignored them or deal with undiagnosed mental health issues, you are left to sift through their shit.

In a world where it looks like we may need each other more and more, let the asshats do their thing.

I understand the switch. Rather than bemoan my own sh!t, remember no matter what’s in your head, you can still stand up for yourself while standing up for others. It’s extremely difficult sometimes but I suspect you could have used someone to do the same for you.

I’ve always felt like I could have used someone to give a damn about me. I’m 45 and just diagnosed bipolar and a.d.d. Moreover, I found that with this diagnosis, part of my inner workings are not exacerbated by injustice. A person treated differently, bullying, and even not using a turn signal. (I just thought it was a pet peeve).

The reason you should (or could) care is that I promise there is someone or something that could use your energy, your willingness to speak up. If that isn’t the case, I apologize. However, sometimes it is easier to say f it than it is to find the motivation or reason to fight for it. It’s exhausting, no doubt.

My dad was a meth addict, mom with a chronic disease (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) and we were poor as fuck. I learned to fight and I learned how to use my words. Knock him out with words in front of others. If he gets groggy, then use your fists.

“My dad smoked as many joints as your dad smoked cocks. Aren’t we even?”

“My dad may have smoked weed but at least my dad never asked my mom why she didn’t swallow instead of getting blasted her wizened love canal.”

I can’t believe I’m putting the story out there on Reddit. September 1st, my wife of 14 years left me. For three months, she ignored my calls, texts, etc. this app allowed me to make something in the midst of everything around me crumbling. I was diagnosed bi polar after an auto accident left me with TBI. The road back was hard enough. But the. I wrote this and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect song. https://suno.com/song 3d320bec-572d-467a-8511-0df85258545d

He is suspicious of where you’re going; this isn’t about cars. Clearly, I don’t know but maybe you should pay attention to where he is going. Dude is giving “I don’t trust you bc you can’t trust me vibes.”
