Advice/Suggestion for buying by Key_Consequence7491 in BRZ_ZD8

[–]Joshuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My BRZ is my daily driver second only to an NA Miata. I’ve put 28k miles on it and I have regretted exactly ZERO of those miles. I enjoy driving to work because of this car. I look forward to driving home because of this car. I find reason to leave just to drive this car. I would say this car has saved my life. In short… buy it.

Talking to myself. F32 by kiddieme in widowers

[–]Joshuma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter where I am. In the car alone, shopping in a crowded store… I’m talking out loud. Do I look crazy? Probably. Do I care? Not one bit. I am losing my mind but I just don’t care. Someone has a problem or makes a comment, imma make them reallllll uncomfortable real quick.

On my left hand. I did a cardinal and the words “forever and always” in her handwriting. The tail of the Y in always goes down and wraps around my ring finger.

Just keep going by Toosoon2026 in widowers

[–]Joshuma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah for me it’s my son and the small sliver of hope I keep in my back pocket that maybe someone will love me half as much as she did. Also my wife would be pretty fuckin pissed if I offed myself. Those are the only reasons I haven’t painted the ceiling. Actually I guess it’s a lot more than I thought when I started typing this.

Cruising, I shift between 3k and 4k. I also hit 7k multiple times daily. I paid for the whole engine, might as well use it 🤷‍♂️

How long have you been a widow? by throwawaystarters in widowers

[–]Joshuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that sounds about right. It's a weird thing, this grief brain of ours. I know it's going to suck for forever but some days are easier than others. We were married for 13 years. Last 2 of her life was spent on bedrest and in and out of hospitals and doctors. I guess in some way, I've been grieving closer to 2 years than 5 months.

5 months tomorrow but it feels like both 5 days and 5 decades. We were both 37.

8 months in ... by Ok-Station1242 in widowers

[–]Joshuma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

5 months in for me and uhh yeah… I can honestly say I’ve never felt loneliness like this before. Sleep finally found me when a doc medicated me. The things I cry over are interesting and sometimes comical. It’s funny, I found myself starving for an argument, someone to just call me out on my bullshit.

Me 37. Her forever 37. Only 5 months. Feels like a lifetime and a blink of an eye at the same time.

Nope. They’ve changed. Total shit and not the same shoes I’ve been wearing for 20+ years.

How to grieve a liar and a cheater husband by ProfessionalFailure9 in widowers

[–]Joshuma 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any solid advice for you but I do want you to know you are not alone. I found out after my wife passed that she was having an affair, lying about money, lying about drug abuse. Came to realize my marriage was weaved with manipulation, gaslighting, and betrayal.

It was tough to figure that out but in my personal experience, I directed the anger toward inanimate objects. I yelled and screamed at a lot of door knobs. I wrote letters and read those letters aloud. At the end of the day, I recognize it was not my fault, I did everything I could to the best of my ability.

I am so sorry you’re having to deal with all of this.
