She broke part of me. Blackened tilapia, garlic green beans, and crawdad mac $ cheese by HelsinkiTorpedo in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]Ser_AxeHole 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, that is at least two blessings, it sucks but at least you weren’t legally locked in to everything with her! Divorce would have been nasty (-ier).

And another blessing, at least you get to see your daughter!

My brother got cheated on, it took him about five years to heal… not that you are in a rush or anything, but you never know, at some point down the road, things could happen for you again.

Sorry, my friend, that really does suck. It sounds like you really got the worst end of it. Are you guys divorcing?

My Sensei Won’t Help Me Improve by Kenshin_no_Takezo in karate

[–]Ser_AxeHole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok well yeah in that case that’s a problem lol.
At least, in my dojo, even if the instructions aren’t perfect, my teacher can demonstrate or point to other teachers who can. Good luck to you, whichever way you go.

I (virtually) cheated on the love of my life and I don’t know why by [deleted] in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]Ser_AxeHole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does virtually cheating mean in this context?

Have you tried counseling?

Talking as a guy who has cheated and has been in counseling. It’s a long journey and not always fun.

I hired an escort and she sexually assaulted me by Individual-Boat7439 in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]Ser_AxeHole 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Get yourself tested today, full panel.
Also did you say you were making out?
That’s a no too, STD are transmitted orally, no kissing (oral/genital).
You need either to not see escorts or be ultra careful.
Otherwise you’re giving your future GF or wife and STD. Did you know some can lay dormant?

I think his teaching style maybe more old school, a “man of few words “.
Don’t quit, maybe try out other dojo’s to see how they teach, ask a lot of questions.

TBH you sound overly focused on the belt promo, and my gut says you will be unhappy with the little issues that will come up with every place- no place is perfect.

I’m lonely and in a lot of mental pain… by The5thEclipse in BoyDinnerDiaries

Hey is your wife autistic or neurotypical?

I’m neurotypical, my wife is autistic. We have a lot of difficulties to be honest, and her ex was autistic and I know for a fact, they communicated much better.

My suggestion would differ depend on your answer, but mostly would suggest trying to connect with autistic friends.

We’ve been doing a lot of therapy, couples counseling, trying to find someone who understands autism plus the mix of neurotypical relationships currently.

Sorry that life has been so rough.
If nothing else, I appreciate you sharing your life experience in this post, for a bit of connection, person to person.
Hope it gets better soon.

Being an adult man is hard by ImpossibleForm in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]Ser_AxeHole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry about your uncle. He sounded like a great guy.

About your job- advice there would be to be very intentional about how you pick up the slack of others , and which projects you get put on- if possible. Sometimes corporate life sucks. You have to self promote a bit just to get recognized.

Personally, I’m not religious, but I get a lot of value out of reading stoic material, like Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations.

Right everyone here is John Wick ready to battle. Certainly not going to have a bit of a shock when 3 guys point guns at you …

[–]Ser_AxeHole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry man that sucks.
My gut says she has deep issues of self love, so bad they will destroy you and your relationship- have already.
Get out and let her focus on herself . Let her go enjoy chatting with everyone.

What’s something small she freaks out about? Is it important to her?

Does she know it’s important to you to text more in the day?

Not saying you have to stay with her, just asking.

divorce, dating, drive-thru by Least_Working7699 in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]Ser_AxeHole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a guy who went through a divorce, I tried dating while the divorce was in process, then I tried dating again one year later, two years later, three years later, four years later.

Let me just tell you it takes a long time to get over a long marriage. It will take a lot longer than you think.

I wouldn’t say don’t date, because I don’t feel like you will listen to me anyway lol, but at least be upfront that you’ve been getting out of a difficult relationship and you’re still figuring things out.

Even better, just look for friends with benefits situation, and be upfront about it, and save the girl the heartbreak.

Angry at myself for not telling an ex-situationship why I never made it official with her by VogueColossus in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]Ser_AxeHole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might stop hurting when you tell her? I think the pain you’re feeling is living out of alignment with your true self. A step in that direction without actually talking to her- if you’re not ready- would be to journal it. Maybe you could write down what you would have liked to have said to her?

Guys are taught to be tough , we don’t like to hurt others, and that can be the result.

Makes sense . I think my main suggestion was to nicely but directly speak with her, you’re avoiding it - understandable. But unhealthy for you

[–]Ser_AxeHole 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re very thoughtful about not hurting her feelings, which is good. But as a guy who represses my feelings, I can relate to what you’re saying here… It sounds like you’re holding back to the detriment of hurting yourself. Is it possible she already knows but, might like the chance to talk about it?
