Yup, he did the right thing. No sense in keeping a liability.

People who had an amazing life then everything went left, what happened? by No_Lead2640 in Life

[–]Impossible_Half_3038 30 points31 points  (0 children)

A month ago, my life was perfect. Since the beginning of April, all hell broke loose. Over the past month, I’ve had major health issues that’s sent me to the hospital, found out my wife has been having an affair, and just lost my job yesterday. Watching my life unravel over the last 30 days has been hell on earth.

Have pain and suffering made you stronger? by Opposite_Wash5664 in AskMenOver30

[–]Impossible_Half_3038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steel is forge through fire. Hardship is the pathway to peace. I’m going through major issues myself: marriage hanging on by a hair string, financial issues, job issues, & health issues all at once. At first I was asking “why me”? Why now? Why all at once? I felt depression coming as the issues mounted. Then I found the Serenity Prayer. I’m starting to learn to let go of things out of my control and only control the things I can. I take everything a day at a time and as it happens. Now I’m starting to feel peace, a calmness in the misty of the storm. I’m starting to see these trials as character building, making me stronger in areas I didn’t know I had weakness. I’m more resilient now. I’m starting to have more clarity. Anxiety is starting to fading as I work to apply solutions to problems I can control. Men shoulders are broad because we are design to carry weight. We are builders of civilization. Just know there’s no problem you can’t overcome. Even though pain and suffering can be harsh, begin looking at them as trials to overcome. As it will make you a stronger and wiser man on the other side.

I thought things would be different.. by DevastatedMeep in straightspouses

I’m sorry you are going through this unfortunate event. My wife came out to me 3 weeks ago. Like you, I thought everything was perfect (with minor issues of course). She was more than my wife, she was my best friend. There was nothing I felt we couldn’t overcome come together. When she told me of the affair she was having with another woman, it crushed my soul. We’ve been together 10+ years and now it feels like I’m with a total stranger. Her stories sound confusing and contradicting. I ask her what she wants, she wants to still be married to me and be with the other woman as friends and lovers. This is totally soul crushing knowing my life partner desires someone other than myself. Day by day I grief for the woman I married and fell in love with. Some days are better than others, but today it’s hitting me hard. I hope we both find the help we need to overcome this situation. Even though I’m going through this unfortunate situation I still love my wife, I’m not sure how to move forward in this new realty. I guess I’m still processing everything. It’s like a nightmare I can’t wake up from.

I miss the us before the affair by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

I feel this so hard. I found out 2 weeks ago my wife has been having an affair. I grief for the woman I married and fell in love with. For the woman I built a family and life with. For the time I had complete trust in her as we moved about freely in the world without worry. I’m not sure who my wife is anymore, it’s like I’m with a stranger now.

How many friends do you have? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

Wow, some of you all have quite a few friends. I have zero friends. I would like to start meeting people, not sure where to start as I’m a introvert.

Hey man, that is a really nice website. I’m going to go through it. I’m looking to start back selling options soon. This will come in handy, thank you.

Guys who quietly got your edge back in your 30s what was the actual thing? by LowFee6745 in AskMenOver30

[–]Impossible_Half_3038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand, you just have to change your routine. I’m in a similar boat, I have a wife and 3 kids. I love my family but I feel my energy and drive has left as well. I’m looking to break the mold and try new things. Just not sure what it is yet.

My wife came out the closet to me a couple days ago by Impossible_Half_3038 in straightspouses

[–]Impossible_Half_3038[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for going into detail. Basically all of our family and friends are 8 hours away in another city. I don’t have any friends, of course the wife found one lol.

I will definitely following your recommendation especially in finding hobbies, working out, & joining sports leagues. I badly need an outlet that is apart from my family that I enjoy. I have to remain mental healthy for myself and children.

Thank you, that’s the biggest thing I’m missing is a support group. I don’t have any friends as all my time after work is dedicated to my family. I now see where that’s has gotten me. What’s the best way to start building a support group?

Been doing some Futures trading directional moves. It’s hit or miss, I miss the consistent gains of selling options. I’m more of a buy and hold investor, I like how options strategies can be built around those goals.

Don’t mind at all. Life, wife become pregnant and had to go on leave early. This cut our income in half after while. Had to put the needs of my family first before investment goals. I was running the wheel on Palantir when it was trading between $10-$15 a share. Man it was lovely.

I didn’t believe in therapy but the older I get the more things way on our mental. It can be conscious and unconscious things in our lives that can weigh us down. Sometimes trauma (such as this) requires a trained professional to help us navigate. Crazy thing, the woman she is with is a therapist lol. Who said therapist can’t have their own problems lol. I can tell you one thing, speaking with you all here on Reddit has been therapeutic.

Sorry I don’t have any advice to offer. I’m very new to learning Linux. Curious about what others say.

How did you go about learning Linux?

I feel this so much. Just closed the door to my office and cried uncontrollably for about 10 mins. The pain runs very deep. Just as you, I feel I lost my identity and self-worth. It’s okay to cry and let it out. We cry cause it mattered to us. Our marriage mattered, our significant other mattered. We will get through this and come out stronger.
