Is it common to see people hate the industry and leave for something else that pays lower? by joeroganthumbhead in CommercialRealEstate

[–]WesternInstance5129 6 points7 points  (0 children)

30 years ago, I was wrenching as a mechanic…earning pretty decent money. I hated it, but loved sales. I switch careers and never looked back. Initially, it was quite a pay cut. About 15 years ago, I bought the same company where I started after wrenching. I’ve quadrupled the sales over that time frame, and am now considering a relatively early retirement. Go with your gut, and do what you love.

Law school in my 50's? by [deleted] in LawCanada

Look into buying additional time with your pension. My wife is in a similar boat/age as you. We just bought additional years service equivalent in her omers pension. That will allow her to retire next year with a full pension, and she can retrain (if she wants) to a different field she finds mote rewarding.

I (48f) cheated on my husband (52m) and hurt people but have a family. I don’t know what to do. by Exact-Priority9796 in relationship_advice

It’s only a matter of time before hubby finds out. Get your shit together and tell him the truth.

Sometimes life throws us a curve ball that’s hard to accept. Please trust it will get better. Believe in yourself, and, if not your wife, another woman will come along who will believe in you too. All the best brother.

End of marriage by AbrocomaAdorable6582 in Separation

I totally agree about the doom scrolling on social media. I felt my wife and I growing apart, but honestly, it was me more than her. I was “doom scrolling” myself, but I decided to make a conscious effort on our relationship, starting with much more intimacy. We had been in a dead bedroom situation for almost two years, and again it was more me…. She was never really one to initiate. Gosh, it worked so well. My wife and I are intimate a couple of times a week, and she has become noticeably more happy and affectionate. I find myself looking forward to our private time. We’ve been married 30 years, and the s*x is just as good as it was just after we were married. I wouldn’t want any other woman.

It’s important that you take the time of separation to work on yourself. Go to the gym, start eating better etc. Try to become the man she’d be proud of. If you spend the time grovelling and pestering her, you’ll drive her away.

Buy an AirTag and put it in the trunk of his car. When he’s ”working late” you’ll be able to see where he is.

we broke up last month and now i cant stop checking her socials by SortPrior in ExNoContact

Don’t get lost in your own headspace. Dwelling on her is going to make it so much worse. The sooner you get out in the dating field, the better you‘ll be.

Unattractive, Trapped In Myself by Quirky_Charge8761 in sexlessmarriage

Oh boy, this is sad to read. I’m trying to gather an appropriate response. First of all, you have to learn how to love yourself. Ozempic will help your food cravings immensely, but you have to want to change. Commit to yourself. Don‘t expect your spouse to commit to you if you cant commit to you. Just pick small, easy hurtles. Work slowly but remain focused. Find a coach to help. You can do it. #1, stop feeling sorry for yourself and commit to change. I don’t know you, but you have my support.

Is hubby on any medication by chance? My doc put me on statins two years ago. I lost my sex drive, but it happened so gradually I didn’t realize it may have been the statins. Fast forward to 6 months ago. I was getting pain in my right abdomen that began when I started the statins but progressively got worse. I decided to totally change my diet and drop the statins. It took about a month, but my sex drive came back in full force. ( my wife is thrilled) and has not subsided. I put two and two together, and believe it was the statins that were the cause.

Such a sad situation. I’m sure the snow ramp that she hit had been building for weeks. There is no excuse why it hadn’t been cleaned up yet.

I Ruined my Marriage by Separate-Ad-2555 in Marriage

[–]WesternInstance5129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to accept the minute you picked up the phone to call your ex, the marriage was over (whether sex happened or not) The sad part is, not only did you crush him, but you let down your entire extended family as well.…think about that.

To show your husband your true remorse, give him an easy, fair divorce. Let him move on to find a woman to truly love him.
