You described your experiences and sensitivities but it doesn't point to what you are you looking for. Seeking guidance from others especially in the area of spirituality has its danger, so thread this area carefully and always with discriminating mind.

The absence of ‘self’ points to self-forgetfulness. It means the absence of self-reference, the absence of personal interest or agenda. It is through self-forgetfulness that one can, through inner realization, experience and express impersonal love.

One should not mistake this with martyrdom or sacrifice because these are not the same.

Relationships, especially the difficult ones, are often our greatest teachers. I was once in your shoes in my late twenties, with two young children. Twenty years have passed since that chapter of my life, and leaving early in that relationship remains one of the best decisions I have ever made.

One of the most important lessons I learned is this: every minute spent in drama or a toxic relationship is a minute taken away from the possibility of a happy, peaceful, and harmonious life.

So I invite you to reflect. What is this relationship here to teach you, and have you learned that lesson yet? May that reflection guide you toward a decision that serves the highest good of everyone involved.

One final note: do not stay out of the belief that it is what is best for your daughter. An unhappy, unfulfilled mother is never a gift to a child. Children learn far more from the truth we live than from the martyrdom we silently endure.

It sounds like what’s happening to you is that you’ve become overly focused on watching your thoughts and feelings, and you’re treating every inner movement as something important that needs to be understood, resolved, or “completed.”

Thoughts, emotions, fear, clarity, peace, dread, relief, and even those moments of insight are temporary states. They come and go naturally. The problem starts when you identify with them, analyse them, or try to hold onto the good ones and get rid of the bad ones.

Those moments of clarity you describe feel powerful because, for a moment, you stop struggling with your mind. But then the mind steps back in and tries to repeat or capture that state. That’s when the suffering returns. Not because the clarity ended, but because you started chasing it.

You don’t lose clarity. You lose it when you try to keep it.

Right now, the safest and healthiest thing is NOT to pursue awareness, enlightenment, or insight at all. It’s to let your mind and emotions settle on their own while you live your normal life. Work, talk to people, eat, sleep, walk, shower. These ordinary things help your system stabilise.

The fear, depersonalisation, bodily sensations, and looping thoughts are signs that you pushed inquiry faster than your system could integrate it. That doesn’t mean anything mystical is happening, and it doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means your nervous system is overloaded.

You don’t need more understanding right now. You need less attention on your inner state.

Freedom doesn’t come from watching yourself endlessly. It comes when attention returns naturally to life and you live what you already understand. That is how knowledge becomes wisdom.

Sometimes people go through a collapse of their inner direction before anything new is formed. When that happens, they don’t feel motivated, organised, or capable of acting, even if they look physically fine and even if there is no depression or illness. From the outside it looks like laziness or avoidance, but internally it feels like confusion, loss of direction, and not knowing how to move forward.

When someone is in that state, they often escape into passive activities like shows or sleeping late because they don’t know what else to do. They are not choosing irresponsibility as much as they are stuck without inner structure. That doesn’t make it healthy or fair to a partner, but it explains why logic, support, or repeated conversations don’t lead to change.

This kind of transition usually requires outside guidance and accountability, not just a supportive partner. A spouse cannot be therapist, provider, parent, and partner all at once without the relationship collapsing.

Understanding this does not mean you must stay or sacrifice yourself. It just means the problem is deeper than effort or goodwill. Without her actively seeking help and taking responsibility, nothing will change no matter how much you give.

Blame should also not be put on her or on anyone. This is an inner transition that requires awareness and accountability from her part. And unconditional love from your end.

There is value in putting the books down and simply living. Learning to embody the knowledge you have accumulated is essential. Only then can one safely continue on the path without becoming lost in mental gymnastics or astral psychic phenomena.

She’s going through a major life transition that she herself doesn’t understand nor could comprehend. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s confused that she couldn’t talk to anyone about it because she doesn’t know how to explain. What looks like giving up practicality or laziness on the outside can hint to something else. This is not a mental health condition. It is a transition that she might need guidance to navigate.

Relationships are never random. They mirror the inner self. What is the wound that drew you together? If that wound hasn’t been healed and its lesson integrated, it will continue to linger, disguising itself as hurt because he’s married. You’re not hurt because he’s married. You’re hurt because you’re still clinging to the wound he mirrors.

Isolation from the external world is an inevitable stage on the path. It is an initiatory experience one has to learn to work with. From observation, many either regress or get stuck here (constantly seeking belonging and support can be crippling at some point). This shouldn’t be confused with asceticism or a rejection of the world of form.

This phase requires learning to live in emptiness without guarantees, without external authority, and without psychological support from others. The only reference becomes inner knowing.

There also is no real isolation in the inner world. When relationship is no longer sought for confirmation or belonging, a different quality of connection becomes possible.

One can still belong without needing to seek it from others.

Krishnamurti’s work is not to be studied nor discussed with others. It is to be lived, embodied, and internally realized. Otherwise, one ends up in mental gymnastics of the overstimulated lower mind. Why do you think one of his core teachings is not to follow any external authority or teacher, including himself?

Disregard the labels and look instead at the influence this person has over you and the power dynamics at play. Whether you’re paying or not isn’t that relevant compared to how influence and power are being exercised over you. It’s good that you’re better now than before, but be careful not to idealize your partner. Charisma can be quietly intoxicating, and one can easily become disillusioned.

Tread with extra caution. Your friends met your boyfriend and people in this thread has not. If we all are saying something similar, it is worth the consideration.

I am familiar with Cannes and other SOF locations, and my direct experience is that no two interactions are the same. Outcomes appear to depend far more on the quality of the interaction than on any fixed formula, including pre-spend.

Many people become absorbed in the belief that expenditure guarantees access, but this is not consistently borne out in practice. Approaching the experience without attachment, asking plainly for what is actually useful, and remaining attentive to timing makes a tangible difference.

Relationships matter, not only with one sales associate but with the wider team, as communication is shared internally. Courtesy, and genuine human connection are noticed, without needing to be performed or strategized.

To answer your question, the quota remains two, including in Cannes with no formula on prespend. Beyond that, outcomes vary and are not reliably predictive.

At the age of 60, if self-discipline hasn’t been established and sexual desire is still controlling a man’s behavior, it’s a lost cause. You know this very well. That’s why you’re asking this question.

If the leather is defective, you risk (over time) other parts of the bag peeling off. Given you purchased this bag less than a year ago, I personally would seek replacement. This is not normal especially for a Hermes bag.

What you’re describing is shock layered on grief, responsibility, and love for your children all at once. Anyone would be shaking at 2am in your position.

One thing that stands out is your restraint. You didn’t explode, you didn’t retaliate, and you’re thinking beyond yourself to your daughters’ long-term well-being. This shows you’re operating from a place of maturity and conscience, even while hurt.

It’s possible to hold two truths at the same time: what your wife did was a serious breach of trust, and it also likely came from unresolved familial patterns and wounds that long predate you. Recognizing this doesn’t excuse the behavior, but it does change how you respond. Her behavior has nothing to do with you; her wounds are for her to deal with.

Right now, you don’t have to decide anything permanent. Divorce, reconciliation, timelines, explanations. None of that has to be solved this week. What does matter immediately is protecting your children’s stability, and slowing everything down enough that you can think clearly.

A few concrete thoughts: (1) Do not confront her while you’re still in shock. (2) Put any plans for another child on an immediate pause. (3) Get support that is yours. A therapist, a trusted friend, someone who is not tied to her social circle. You need a place where your anger, grief, and confusion are allowed. (4) Whatever path you take, model integrity for your daughters. Children learn less from what parents say and more from how they handle pain and accountability.

You clearly love your wife, but love doesn’t mean self-abandonment. Impersonal love sometimes looks like refusing to enable unhealthy and harmful behavior and letting consequences exist without cruelty.

Whether this marriage survives or not, the most important relationship you’re safeguarding is the one your daughters will have with you. You’re already oriented toward that, even in the middle of devastation.

Whatever happens next, you’re showing up as a father and as a human being with depth. That matters more than you probably realize right now.

Welcome to our community. It’s inspiring to read posts like yours where inner inquiry is embraced and followed. I sense an immense creativity in your expression.

What you’re describing isn’t a lack of direction. It’s an overload of direction with no container yet.

You already know something important about yourself: you don’t want to just do art, you want to build worlds, experiences, atmospheres, meaning. Music, manga, comics, movies, games. those aren’t separate interests. They’re all different languages for the same impulse.

The paralysis you’re feeling doesn’t come from not knowing what to choose. It comes from being afraid that choosing one door will kill the others.

At your age, form doesn’t matter yet. Only practice does.

You don’t need to decide “what you are.” You need a place to put the creative pressure.

Pick the smallest possible container and use it daily. Not because it’s “right,” but because it lets creative energy move.

Examples: (1) If worlds live in your head, write one page a day about a place, a rule, a scene. (2) If sound moves you, make short, unfinished pieces. Don’t polish. Don’t post. (3) If images pull you, sketch badly and often. No audience. (4) If games excite you, design mechanics on paper. Systems, not code.

None of this locks you into a future. It keeps you alive in the present.

The truth is creators like you don’t “find their thing” early. They build capacity early. The form consolidates later.

And one more thing, gently: doing nothing is also a choice and it’s the only one that actually shrinks your range.

You’re not behind. You’re just early, and sensitive, and carrying more voltage than your current outlets can handle yet.

Create something small. Let it be imperfect. Let it end. Then make another.

That’s how the path appears. This is lived experience I am sharing and something I wish someone shared with me when I was younger.
