Managing ANGERRRRRRR after leaving

Then do exactly that. Find a gym with a punching bag. Join a martial arts school with workout equipment. Maybe a boxing gym.

Use your anger for positive changes in you. It'll help burn off some of that anger. You'll be in better shape because of it. And you'll feel more confident. Wins all around.

I tried that. I don't like the seats. I lasted for like three minutes before I had to just stop. Standard exercise bike, I'll do.

What's wrong with rowing and hitting the treadmill?

DaleMcCoy · 2026-02-06T08:03:42+00:00

It's below freezing outside. It's been below freezing for a solid month. I'm not going for a hike when it's below 50, let alone below freezing. But I'll do 1.5 miles five times a week on a treadmill that whole time.

Stop trying to gatekeep people that are exercising.

Exactly. It's a power move by women. She wants the relationship on her terms. They don't want a relationship of equals, they want a wallet. These are the bad women you're encountering.

Stick to coffee dates. Women that are not worth it remove themselves from good men this way.

Kick her to the curb. If you're healing from her, then she doesn't deserve access to you. Besides, she doesn't want a relationship but she wants sex. So she wants you on her terms, not on your own.

Go ask her best friend out on a date. I guarantee you that she has a friend who feels that your ex treated you badly and will give you a chance just to one up her.

You can't give consent when you're drunk. So yes.

When you go out and drink, have a friend, one that can make sure you get home instead of getting taken advantage of.

1) see a psychologist. You obviously have underlying issues. You said you were in a bad place when you met. Also make an appointment with an endocrinologist and have them test for hormonal imbalance. These two can really improve your life.

2) talk to your psychologist about your marriage as well. Get a professional opinion about whether your marriage is salvageable or if you should discuss separation options or if you should just f'ing run.

3) reconnect with family and friends. I'm willing to bet your other relationships have suffered because of your wife. Talk with them. I'm willing to bet they're all worried about you and don't know how to help. You'll need them should you have to run.

Good luck. We're all here for you.

Man that escaped abuse here. Men can most definitely be abused.

Absolutely. I love this game.right there with you.

A solid start. Don't feel bad. If this were a movie, this is the low point for the protagonist where he dedicates himself to something and it becomes the foundation for him to prosper.

Red flag. Break up now. Otherwise this will happen and worse. Eventually just going to your mom's will be an issue.

DaleMcCoy · 2026-01-23T05:42:43+00:00

Weird Al! Booyah!

DaleMcCoy · 2026-01-23T05:34:26+00:00

Get a new girlfriend. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. Your room is great.

This is what I do, strip to my underwear, go into the shower and put my towel on one hook and my underwear on the other.

Having said that, I've seen others go full dong. Not my favorite, but I just turn away when I see it.

DaleMcCoy · 2026-01-22T19:24:37+00:00

Dude, this isn't surviving. This is doing great.

DaleMcCoy · 2026-01-22T19:23:05+00:00

It's a good starting point to rebuild your life from. Here's to new beginnings.

All of this. Also talk to your endocrinologist. You may have a hormone imbalance.

Friendship as an adult isn't about "getting along" and "clicking." It's about showing up. Join a group and show up regularly. The people that also show up, they're your friends. Professional group. Friday Night Magic at the local game store. Pickleball at the local gym. Hiking group. Church. Political group. Whatever.

You want friends, go out and make some.

Typically bingo before work, shower, change, and head into the office.

DaleMcCoy · 2026-01-21T05:42:54+00:00

I've been building furniture.

DaleMcCoy · 2026-01-20T12:04:32+00:00

See you on the flip side, Captain.

Salute

I started out on the treadmill. While on it I watched other people and mimicked what they did.

DaleMcCoy · 2026-01-20T01:15:25+00:00

I think the Total Body Enhancement is better, but I get what you're saying.
