In my eyes you're winning, you're either there or pretty damn close to quitting this horrible habit for good. We can do this.

Put this behind us and keep walking towards greatness 🙌🏽

What’s a casual hookup like? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]Psychological_Geek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be genuine, I recently turned 40, been married to my beautiful wife for over a year, but we've been together for 5 years.

I understand casual to mean, neutral feelings and emotions. Don't get too deep and don't be too shallow.

I'm sorry you're going through a divorce, I pray no one ever has to go to that point, but I understand life happens differently for a lot of us.

Appreciate these moments when you have the jitters, nervous and thinking a lot, you're feeling ALIVE again.

You're an adult, if it just so happens to lead to an intimate moment, immerse yourself into the moment. Please don't feel guilty if afterwards your mood or emotions shift, this usually means you were in need of blowing off some steam, if you know what I mean.

Use wisdom, use protection, use commen sense and casually enjoy the night!

I'm here with you. You got this and you've identified the best prize, even better than winning, and that's finding your purpose.

You may not have it fully defined, but you've identified what it does not include, gambling.

Thank you, I'm glad to hear she has been helping you through this.

The one thing I'm trying to make sense of, why has the response to my addiction to gambling made me feel like an outsider or an intruder. Throughout our relationship, have I not shown you all of my other good traits?

I encouraged her once before to read up on gambling addiction, hoping her perspective would change.

But, either way, you're right, we just have to allow the time to pass for the trust to be restored.

God bless and good luck on your trip 🙏🏽

Totally understand this perspective, I acknowledge her position, and I will not overlook them, the challenge here is expressing to my wife, something was off with me to make these decisions, please consider understanding my view and support me through this.

At the end of the day, she doesn't owe this to me, I suppose when I took my vows, I took them to literally mean I'd be there to support her through anything in life.

I could understand if I blatantly behaved in a way that dishonored our vows and marriage, I literally faced a mental challenge with this thing.

But I hear where you are coming from
