Just wondering if anyone is out there with advice on how to make a relationship better or how to survive getting out. Not ready to talk this out with real life friends, so figured I'd start here.

 
Great questions. Sorry for your troubles your faced with. I too am in a similar boat as you. Married for about 6 years but can't go a week without some kind of major blow out.

Really looking forward to advise from some of you older wiser folk - besides taking more benzo's that is :)

Good thread. Just remember you get what you pay for here. No leather sofa. LOL

Most likely not older but wise. My parents have made it almost 40 years. I can remember many knock down drag outs.

My wife and I have the "P&G" moments.

You may ask, what the hell is "P&G."

Well, its a PACK and GO situation. We call it "P&G" now.

She's lucky as she has many places to go - friends, parents, relatives, etc. But, I, have nowhere to go aside for my office 5 miles away, thus i never pull that kind of stunt.

Btw, the "P&G" situation have never fully happened yet, but it's getting closer as the weeks go by. The routine is: Pull the suitcase out of the closet, throw a bunch of clothes inside it. Close it and briskly walk to the door pretending that you're leaving forever.

However, that's as far as it's ever got, Hope to God it never goes past that as it's not good for our young son to be stuck in the middle of of that kind of crap. That's what bother's me the most.

 
My partner and I have been together for almost 18 years. Its been an up and down RollerCoaster but we still come home. Fight constantly though. You haven't lived until you hear a fa9 fight.

Butt I still love the bitchy little guy.

maybe u shouldnt of been dumb enough to get married?just a thought

 
Ok I'm trying to helpful instead of the usual boob I am. I am hard to get along witn and I will admit it. I'm selfish. I would have married my high school b/c but I loved her (yes still do) I couldn't and wouldn't. I don't care what anyone says Marrige is not easy. Its work. She is in my heart and hopes she finds the right man (I just wasn't it - Not that) she knew everything I do mean everything about me. Fantastif dancers. I'm getting emtiional thinking of Karen. She was the salt of the earth in my eyes.

Sorry forf spelling and grammer -----------> I'm pretty baked

Thanks Sister Troub'.

You've provided me with a new positive and energetic outlook in life. The metaphor about the salt really did it for me - especially after member Harry said I was "Dumb." Never will I forget such vulgarity coming from a fellow DDG member. Heartbreaking, to put it lighly.

I think I'm beginning to like you Sister Troub'. Let's make up and forget the past fight's OK?

What's done is done.

In my opinion Trust is the number one single thing that can make or break a relationship.If you can not trust your Significant Other FORGET IT EVER WORKING.

MY WIFE COULD COME HOME AND SAY I AM GOING HERE ___________ FOR THE EVENING.

That would not raise one single flag as she is a beautiful women, many people have complimented me on her beauty. I shrug it of and THINK beauty is beyond what you and I are seeing right now.


It is also what's inside that counts as well as trust.


I WOULD SAY OK I AM GOING TO WATCH A GAME THAT IS COMING ON IN AN HOUR WITH THE BOYZ HAVE FUN AND BE CAREFUL DRIVING. IF YOU NEED ME TO PICK YOU UP IF YOU DRINK A BIT TOO MUCH CALL ME AS I WONT DRINK SO THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY.

Trust however is the number one priority bar none.

Well we've had our share of P&G moments. And yes, some trust has been broken on both sides.

We've finally I think gotten to the root of some issues, and I feel we're turning a corner. I love my husband, but he makes me crazy at times. I'm sure he'd say the same about me. I'm Ok with that. I had, for awhile, thought maybe I had made a mistake. But now I see I had made mistakes, not in marrying him, but in not appreciating him enough. No more P&G moments for this gal. I hate that kind of drama.

Ya don't think that time I went to work at Brokeback Mountain that was a break in trust was it? Oh $#!+

 
All I can really say is that every time I have been in a relationship, I eventually feel like I have lost myself. I'm finally realizing, after being alone all this time (been TOTALLY single almost a year) that maybe we don't spend enough time alone, trying to figure out who we really are.

I spent a lot of years trying to fit myself into someone else's life, never really taking the time to learn what makes me happy, what I really wanted out of life. The biggest question I ever asked myself was, "What do I value?". Just look in the mirror and ask. Is it Money? Is it your family? Is it your solitude? Is it drawing, writing, training dogs, parenting? If you had no responsibilities, no shackles... Where would you want to be? I think we become unhappy within our relationships when we feel unfulfilled. Expecting the other person to fill that void is not fair, and is impossible. The void is not in the relationship, but within yourself. The only problem is, you will need space (at least emotionally) in order to sort it all out.

I know it sounds cliche' , but I finally figured out that you can't make anyone else happy until you rself are happy. So, figure that out and I think the rest of the chips will fall the way they're meant to fall.

Anyway, maybe that has nothing to do with what you're going through OP, but maybe you can pick out a few new ideas.

I can imagine, two dudes fighting. I bet blows are thrown

 
I know marriage can be rewarding, having someone with you who you are closer to anyone in the world. Who understands you and loves you beyond themselves.

I have felt that love twice in my life. But both didn't work out because they were rich and I was still in chiro school and status was something they worried about. Unfortunate but true. My mom always said "all women want is a meal ticket." and about men she said "they are all crazy. About drinking, womanizing, gambling, sports, something."

But I've never found that feeling that I experienced with those two other girls and I don't want to settle.

 
OK im total douchebag in relationships as didnt even had one in life /default_biggrin.png but why make a life so complicated,shouting at every mistake,getting angry for the smallest reason,as i started on x bars i feel that everyday i started to release more anger towards everyone close to me,which before was kept inside me,id be punching walls,snapping at every checky comment towards me and expressing my own oppinion,thats what meds helped me with,if it continues i might snap at someone close to me and turn it into a fight or tell someone where to fu off.

But why not sit down one morning at the table to of you prepared with the lists what you hate and like about each other and express your feelings withou interupting each other,how you feel and what should change if possible.Then decide in porper manner either to make a plan how to make it work or split without any anger or grudge.As we are still humans but instead acting like ones we use our primitive instincts instead,like ancient people did with all the wars.thats my 2 cents :)

  7. CalFresh @ CalFresh: Thanks everyone. My family and I are safe ATM. @mellowella thank you, but they cleaned me out. the shelves are empty but I'm hoping to call in some favors to restock ASAP. @xenxra I will reach out to set up a secure comms channel for us. Thanks again all. Yesterday was tough, but the support I've received from those I can share is with has been a Godsend.
  8. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Mad love to you and your family @CalFresh
  9. xenxra @ xenxra: @CalFresh if you are able to DM me (in a secure manner) the transactions associated with your btc theft, i can look into that part for you at least. i;m still 99% certain if the fbi didn't discard my leads they could have gotten some of my coins back and considering you had your coins stolen within the us, you have a much better chance of recovery than me. unless they went through mixers i could probably trace them myself.
  10. O @ Outsider9173: @CalFresh Haven't been here long but I want to wish you a fast recovery
  11. crimp @ crimp: neck spine surgery 8 ribs broke and scalp split onen about 6 inches

  13. CnC5 @ CnC5: @CalFresh if theres anything i can do brother lmk!
  14. M @ Mokachin0: @CalFresh email me I may be able to assist
  15. mellowella @ mellowella: I will always remember what you did for me the very first time I donated. I have been waiting to pay that kindness forward.
  16. mellowella @ mellowella: @CalFresh are you and your family safe? You’ve helped me in a pinch and were more than generous, and I’m sure you’ve helped others. How can we help you? Does it help at all if we completely buy out what’s left? Maybe that gives time and funds to restock and rebuild? I don’t want to break any rules here, but please let us know if we can do anything. All on your time of course.
  17. CalFresh @ CalFresh: thanks guys. I'm pulling together what I have left and leaning on the kindness of folks who support me to restock my shelves so that I can keep the lights on. Having my savings drained and my security vanish in an instant is paralyzing and the repercussions will only be realized in the coming days and weeks. for now I'm just trying to stay focused on the immediate priorities for ensuring this doesn't. cause cataclysmic failure to the life I've built for my children and I.
  18. H @ hotdog45: @CalFresh hey man if I can do anything, anything at all to help you get back on your feet let me know. Truly my heart goes out to you. I sent you an email also
  19. G @ gfunkster: @CalFresh im really sorry to hear that. But remember karma is real my man. They just fd their karma for a long time.
  20. Telp @ Telp: @CalFresh Thats so fucked man. Im glad you’re safe! And wishing you the best. What a bunch of scumbags.
