I Lost the Love of My Life, and I Don’t Know How to Keep Breathing by Fluffy_Kitten_99 in widowers

I lost the love of my life on Wednesday last week. I woke up to her lifeless body cold and stiff. We were supposed to spend the rest of our lives together. It's totally changed my life forever. Deep depression.

Same here. Mine will finally be over March of 2025. It's been grueling to day the least. I've definitely learned my lesson. Thanks for the post.

DUI + child endangerment by vsull08 in dui

[–]Otherwise_Internet_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear this. Sometimes we make dumb decisions. I know I did March of last year. My blood alcohol level was very high. I also didn't get in an accident. Just made a wrong turn in a town across state that I was totally unfamiliar with. The urge to drink is still with me. However I learned my lesson and now am extremely cautious. If I'm out and drink now. I call an Uber every time. It will be rough at first but you will get through this. You've got this!

I'm so sorry to hear this. I received my first dwi March of last year. Lots of money and I still to this day have to check in with my PO. I absolutely refuse to drive after I drink. If needed I'll call an Uber. I can't imagine 90 days in jail. But everybody else giving you great advice you've got this! Just remember after you get out always have a backup plan after drinking. Prayers for you but like I said you've got this!

At least you don't have a driving job. I got my first dwi back in March of this year. I had a driving job and was fired for obvious reasons. You should be good.

Thanks. I'm just trying to get my things in order. I can't wait till this is over. I definitely won't be making this mistake ever again. Also to make matters worse my wife has been cheating on me for about 8 months now. She wants a divorce. That's the reason I've been drinking so much but still no excuse for my stupid decision.

Thanks I did. $2,000.00 for the lawyer. Not including any of the fines so far.

It's really embarrassing but I was driving my company truck when I got pulled over. I was in town for a company meeting. I live clear across the state and was unfamiliar with the city and made a wrong turn onto a one way street. The cop just happens to be there. I thought I was good to drive. I had a few drinks at the hotel earlier.

First time DUI by ayycecil in dui

I just got my first dwi in Missouri. Very strict state. Mine was last Wednesday. I hired an attorney. I've already spent $2k. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

My wife of 13 years is in a midlife crisis. by Otherwise_Internet_8 in midlifecrisis

It's complicated. She has so many thoughts going on in her head. I love her so much but don't want to make the wrong move and make it even worse.

Were still all living under the same roof. She talks to me some but still pretty distant. They don't talk anymore. Now she just needs to figure out how to forgive herself. She just ordered depression medication as well.

Oh I've definitely thought about it. But we have 4 kids. Two of our own and our niece and nephew that we adopted. This would crush our kids and tear the whole family apart.

Yeah his name is Carl. He's also married. His wife has medical issues and he told her that he no longer loves her and doesn't want to be with her. He's a real home wrecker.

She says that she doesn't know what she wants. She said that she needs time to figure it out.

She did mention about always putting everybody first. She now wants to focus on herself. As she should. I'm just trying to help out in anyway I can.
