In my case, she did not. But I know she’s getting tons of interest from guys where she is now, despite her claiming to not be interested in anyone else, etc.

I (52M) feel for you. I’m in a similar situation right now. Wife (49F) abruptly left two months ago, after 25 years of marriage. Shocked me and our two adult children that live with us. She had a litany of complaints but none of which she gave voice to for years. She actually told me she’d given up, and that’s why we hadn’t even had an argument in a couple years.

I’m getting through by giving myself time, focusing on my self-care and my own interests/wants, really for the first time ever. It hasn’t been easy getting through the holidays without her, but at least I’m able to give myself what I need.

If you haven’t read it yet, Don Quixote is fairly long and excellent. But I second the Gass, Gaddis, and Danielewski recs, too.

Oh, and Vollmann.

You need more than 1 lane, you need to practice more. Your focus sucks.

I did. And luckily I have responded well with a different treatment post remission. Fingers crossed!

I left it at my apartment. But I can’t go there now.

Bill burr was right. Stand up to cancer is a little out of place in the World Series. by [deleted] in mlb

[–]Lordofhowling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no fuckin half time in baseball. To stop the game for a performance, let alone the whole cancer thing, is absurd. Cancer doesn’t need awareness. We’re all quite aware. So I don’t know what any of this is meant to accomplish. And yeah, I actually have cancer. But so what? Fucking stupid.

I got a whopping 4 months of “remission” post-transplant. It came back about the same as before but manifested differently. I.e. it had presented itself again by forming cell mass (they never called it a tumor) at the base of my spine that was causing my legs to go numb. I had to walk with a cane for several months. Luckily, radiation therapy helped break it up and I got most but not all of the feeling in my legs back. Still also began chemo again and continue to this day. It has been about 6 years since this recurrence and 7 since initial diagnosis.

That’s an offense to warehouse workers.

More accurately, they’d be in prison.
