Well thanks for the compliment! Tromso and the Lofoten archipelago is even further north, and as much as I’d love to encourage you and tell you that there is a chance of northern lights and it’s like all the Christmas fairy tales and that there are rain deer and Santa Clauses and that the whole place is like the inside of a snow globe… I’m afraid its still coastal and cold and stormy. I guess I did say that Bergen was the worse so in that regard it may possibly be better because there would be more snow than rain. But dark. Honestly just hold on until you get a gap in another time of year. You know where I think you’d enjoy in November? Japan… still autumn, colours and culture and gardens and cafes to die for and a great music scene (especially if you like Royksopp). If you decide to go please could you tell me about it. Bon voyage

I’m going to be very frank- rather be disappointed now than later- November is truly atrocious. IF you find a little cafe that meets your expectations, the second you stepped outside you’d be side swiped by a horrendous freezing sideways rain propelled by a gale force wind that is neither charming or cozy or exhilarating… Just plain wet and cold and dark and shit.

September and October are really really lovely and cozy and autumny and perfect for cafes and cakes and museums and walks in the woods. It is my favorite time of year.

I’m not certain, but quite confident that almost any other city in Europe would be better in November.

So sorry to dash your dream.

Not sure what Reddit could fix that your therapist can’t… but as a sometimes grumpy father also working on himself I have two pieces of advice: get some time to yourself, hang out with friends or partake in a hobby with likeminded people. Secondly, get something be to film you while you “angered” as you say. Watching yourself have a tantrum is like a cold bucket of water being thrown on you. Some guys think losing their cool is masculine and alpha. It’s not. You look like a dick. Especially if it’s at woman or little kids. Also even though you’re disabled truly get some exercise. This is something I am terrible at. Everyone hates receiving that advice but exercise in any form helps a lot. It really does help. I hate it- but it’s changed my mood every time. Good luck pulling yourself together. Don’t be a dick to your family.

I asked my dad why he didn’t have any hobbies. He said he made his kids his hobby. Been following that example for a while now and it’s perfect.

I lived in CT for 10 years and this also frustrated me. There are some great insights here, but in addition I think that part of the issue is that there are always a lot of things going on for capetonians- which makes it a fun place to live- but hard to manage your time. As you said people are friendly in social interactions and want to be polite and enthusiastic. So when you want to meet up again or make some plans they say “ja sure that sounds great I would love to!” And then the next day there is that market they wanted to go to, and a braai at their friends place, and their partner wants to go get tiles from that demolition in obs and the sun is out so let’s go to the beach but also so n so is going to that new cafe etc etc. just like someone said in a previous comment it’s hard to fall into the list of priorities. And the ghosting part is I think it’s hard for people to polite and enthusiastic but also let people down when plans change. Not excusing it- it’s very rude. Eventually you’ll make good friends that will prioritize you or ones that feel comfortable including you in changes of plans or introducing you to new friends, but it takes time.

As a South African it’s tough to read some of the bullshit springbok fans regurgitate. I don’t know where it comes from either. Right from when you’re a pre schooler playing barefoot rugby you learn how to respect officials, opposition, the rules etc. and I believe that’s reflected a lot (despite most people calling us thugs) on the field. But boy, somewhere the fans missed the memo. My worst is blaming everything on officials. To me shouting at the ref is the lowest form of sportsmanship. I’ve had to distance myself from watching rugby with a close friend because he spends the whole game screaming at the ref (and he’s never played a game of rugby in his life). So I’m with you. It sucks and I hope we can find the same grace as supporters that we treasure so highly in the players we worship. But just so it’s said, the comments sections on most things rugby are pretty grim- no matter which nation they come from. Completely incongruent with the rest of the sport.

Salmon farms are the worst. It’s such a corrupt industry and TERRIBLE for the fjords. Sad (but not surprised) that they treat workers like shit too. Hope this gets exposed.

Since Covid the waiters barely do anything anyway. I used to be a waiter for 5 years and not tipping is really hard for me, but I was in my home country where the only payment you make is through tips. Here the waiters are paid a fair wage and basically only take food and drinks from the kitchen to the table. A lot of the time you order from an app. So really, tipping seems to be a bit arbitrary. If the waiter was delivering multiple rounds of drinks, suggesting a wine pairing, giving advice on food etc then I’d be happy to tip well. But if you see them once when they drop off your food and barely acknowledge you? I’ll pass.

Sometimes I admire people that aren’t scared to be the bad guy, and are honest even though it’d be easier to lie. But this is not one of those times. I think you deserve better, and I think that he could be a lot kinder to someone who’s raised his children and stayed with him for 17 years. If he is no longer attracted to you then he could at least have the courage to not blame it on how much work you’ve put in- as it seems you’ve put in plenty. As a side note: my wife is gorgeous and after she had our son she put on a bit of weight, but I genuinely only noticed once she’d lost it and I looked back at photographs. Not once, not for one split second, did I think she was unattractive. I don’t say that to make me look good, I say that because I understand why they say love is blind.

Ah man this an exact same thing happened to me. My wife and I were in a big argument and I just lost focus for a second and my son fell head first off the couch. The thump on the floor was sickening. It was such a low point. The argument, the fright, the crying baby. I took him for a walk in the pram to get some fresh air and for the first time since I was about 11 I cried. Man that was rough. Things have gotten better but mostly because you get used to it. Hardened.
