Stop. It will only make you more miserable in the end. Once you accept who you are, embrace who you are and love who you are, others will find you easier to love as well.

I love my DW and my family and really don't want to risk them but the draw to stray is so strong. It's an almost daily struggle.

You sound like a good man. One day you will be elderly. You will be proud of yourself for not straying. I spent 10 years working in end of life care and I can tell you with great confidence that being faithful will Give you comfort at the end, and that is a very scary time.

I feel like a bad person admitting this because I should be happy for them.

You're not a bad person pp. I get it. It's not the same thing, but my younger sister is getting married. I'm having a hard time with it. I want so badly to be in that place, but it hasn't worked out for me yet. Same with friends having babies. I'm happy for them, but probably not as happy as I could be. I have twinges of jealousy over every baby/wedding conversation. I've shed tears. It's hard watching others get what you yearn for. Hugs to you and I hope both our dreams come true soon.

Thank you PP for your empathy.

I hate the word “anyways”. I read it all over the board.

There was a story years ago about someone in NYC doing this. Please get some help and stop. And if you really want it, there is someone out there who will do this for real.

The two of you need to f@$k already. The tension us palpable to the point of making everyone uncomfortable. Given the passion of the anger between you it would be pretty hot for you guys.

No retirement plan because I just plan to check out when I’m done living. Will wait for my mom to pass away first. I’m not depressed and my life is fine, I just don’t want to grow old and don’t see the point.

I am your life twin...except I work a stressful management job. I struggle to find what I really want to grow old for too. I recently tried to get into being a foster parent but my job is too many hours for a single parent. I am looking into changing jobs and working for an NGO or something to see if that helps.

What kind of job do you have that you can work from anywhere. I would love that!

I'm similar. 42, single , childless, very few friends, very little money, drifted away from some family and hold myself at a distance from other family (toxic). I will definitely end it when I'm finished. I will never have enough money to buy property or retire from work.

It’s comforting to me to know there are others like me out there. I’m the original poster of this. I think when I’m late 50’s will be my time to go. But I have to wait for my mom to pass first. She’s 72.

I get annoyed at people who go into other forums and derail threads with their " beliefs" because they know they'd get creamed in the political forum.

I love my kids, but I can't stand most other kids.

Ps. Clearly other people think like me I’m private (in public I’m a liberal) because we ended up with trump and will end up with him again if people like you keep it up.

Same. I also hate all my coworkers.

I keep having intermittent doubts about my relationship. I alternate between loving and happy feelings and concerns that we've reached the limits of our relationship and I should move on. Part of me is calculating what would be the best time to break things off and leave her, but I keep making plans for the near future. I am secretly aiming for a late spring/early summer deadline.

They closed the Whole Foods in my neighborhood. Now I have a strange compulsion to vote for Trump.
