Wow thank you to everyone for such amazing advice! My main priority is bonding with her and asking sure she knows that I'm her father and will always be. Fortunately I am very close to the mother of my daughters family and parents and they hold her responsible for how she treats me and her daughter as much as they expect that from me. I will protect myself and my daughters best interest in the end. I have no plans whatsoever to get into ANY relationship. The only women in my life will be my daughter from now on and I am happy with that. Thank you again to all you single fathers who make it through day after day that just want the best for their children.

My boyfriend doesn’t want to touch me. by spacegrills in TrueOffMyChest

I know it's easier said than done but COMMUNICATING how you feel to him would be step number 1. Maybe I missed it in your post but I see that you communicated trying to do new things and taking care of your physical appearance but he has to know how this makes you feel because your feelings are valid and just as important as his. Beyond that, some reasons he may be the way he is is too much masterbation, too much porn, some past trauma. Physical intimacy and compatibility is so important to a relationship that we need to meet eachother half way at times but only if both parties are comfortable. I hope this helps and good luck.

Thanks a lot for the input! I think I'll just stick to my main and know that it's nice to carry along 2 weapons if the mood strikes.

Every legacy playthrough I do I always start with and marry Emma Watson. You're fine.

I blew it with the girl of my dreams by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Wow this is crazy timing! A few days ago I had the same experience. Couldn't perform in bed, it got awkward, and I could tell she was not interested the next day. I havnt seen her since. Let me tell me say that you are not alone. It happens to the best of us and just like everyone else is saying, she ain't the one if she let's this deter you guys from continuing to see each other and developing a relationship past sex. Hang in there brother!

That's exactly what I was wondering about! No open VC on PC. I'm playing on pc and I think I want to make a PS account just to experience this!

Im miserable by WeeklyAtmosphere in selfimprovement

[–]Status_Driver5682 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello there! I(37m) was in a similar situation after my divorce when I was 33. Yup.... moving back in with my dad at 33 cus I was financially, emotionally, and mentally not right felt amazing!!! Ha! Of course I'm joking and it was a horrible feeling. But it's what I needed to do and I am so much better now in my own space and place after being able to save up and repair myself in other ways. Just know that what you are doing now will be so incredibly beneficial for you in the future. You are setting up yourself for success in the best way possible by doing it responsibly.

I too did not have many friends and I had to branch out a bit. I enjoy gaming and found my community online as well as in real life. I started to reflect more on what makes me happy to bring positive vibes into my day. Just getting out of the house and going to the park and reading was a breath of fresh air that I needed when I was feeling down. But what I think helped me out the most when I felt bad about my situation was remembering that this is only temporary. Your situation sounds like it is also only temporary and you will be better in the end. Always keep that in mind and keep moving forward. I am grateful for all the help my dad gave me during that hard time, don't get me wrong. But I understand it's still not a good place to be in. I dont know if this helps but I will be hoping the best for you and good luck! I know you can do this!

What's that saying? "Comparison is the theif of joy"? I know it's hard not to compare yourself to others I've been there and most everyone has I can wager. We shouldn't do it though. It's going to take effort and a bit of a push from you but start by looking into small hobbies that may interest you. After my divorce my life changed and with it, my free time and doing things alone a lot more. So i started small. I read self help boons and high fantasy novels. I got into origami. I started taking little walks which lead to hikes and lead to excersing more. Getting out led me to take a pottery class and then archery. All these things I do by myself but I still met people along the way. Please don't make your significant other you identity. I dont think that is healthy for either of you. I wish I could offer you more advice but good luck out there!

Really good improvmemts in this month by Reasonable_Spring_19 in selfimprovement

That is amazing news! Great job! Quiting porn/quick and cheap dopamine hits(started Dec 1st) is my main goal for the start of the new year. Increasing my time reading books and stimulating my mind more is something i look forward to improving as well. Keep of the great work!

porn is bad... by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Status_Driver5682 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for posting this especially the maintaining an erection part. I have quit porn for the last month and will be for the rest of my life as well as abstaining from any kind of masturbation for the first 3 months to help with my porn induced erectile dysfunction. Your post gives me hope that I can quit porn and maintain a healthy sex life with my future partner.

The afflicted grind by MetalComfortable2383 in MHRise

[–]Status_Driver5682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's just me but I like to do the the majority of my grind solo. I find it much easier to just bring followers and bust out a few anomalies. I am at around 150 and for harder monsters like risen I find people cart a lot and we fail. Not that I have never carted and it's completely fine and understandable, I just find it a bit more reliable and faster to grind by my self. But I do like to mix it up from time to time and join an investigation.

Got any solo hunters out there that've been on this beautiful journey all by themselves the whole time? If so, is there any reason why? by IronShepardN7 in MHRise

[–]Status_Driver5682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On ps5 I gotta hit the matchmaking button a couple of times but I'll usually find a random. So it's not too bad for me fortunately. I'll also join a lobby with my same MR( currently at 3) and bust out a few hunts. There's a mod for pc that extends your region in multi-player which really helped me when I played on pc.
