it good that you gys are mature enough to keep it together in front of your daughter ,alot of people will emotionally hurt their children from fighting so you should feel really good about that you know if it was meant to be then it would of worked ,just dont take too long getting your man cave back up we all enjoy seeing your awesome collection take care and keep your head up bro things will work out
I always tell people that support groups are such an amazing thing - people who have gone through something traumatic share their stories with people who have gone through the same thing. It's a great way to feel like you are not alone.
I wish you well in getting used to this new lifestyle - and wish nothing but the best for your daughter and ex.
It must be really hard to realize that the person who you've loved and shared your life with for so many years is not the person you want to be with anymore.
Hi everyone, I thought I would do an update. Life seems to be going on, things with my ex are kind of becoming a bit more frigid. I think a lot of it has to do with her wanting to date and find someone else in her life and the way she deals with it is to alienate me. I agree that we have to rely on each other less, but her way is to be mean which kind of sucks.
Lately I feel my life is in a kind of "stand by" mode while my living situation remains where it is. I don't think I can truly move on until I have my own place which hopefully will be September. A lot of the things and hobbies aren't bringing me much happiness either. I guess you could say I'm in a low place at the moment and I am in desperate need of a win in my life.

Thank you for sharing with us. I'd rather read updates, like this, than not ever hear from you again. We are rooting for you, pal! Just keep posting here & we'll keep responding. Understand that right now, everyday you make it through this is one little victory. That's what I keep telling myself in regards to the sh*tty situation in which I find my life. It seems to help.

I know exactly how you feel. I recently got divorced and was really withdrawn from life, my hobbies, etc. I moved out had to "start over".
At the time it was rough but looking back I am glad that it's over and I have recently got back on the forums and my old self.
I hope we can help you even if logging in here for a little bit cheers you up.

FBS - I was wondering where you had gone! I'm glad things have gotten better & that you are back!
Hang in there Anthos! September will come, then October... then 2014... you'll get through this. We all go through these sorts of waiting periods where it seems as though we can't win and we're getting stepped on right and left. A hobby like statue collecting is certainly not enough to get one through these moments. It's times like these when we really have to dig deep and remember what it is about ourselves and our lives that we love. We have to separate the temporary feelings associated with negative circumstances from those constants that have always given us joy (from childhood to the present). Essentially it's time for a reboot my friend. Try to put yourself back in your shoes before your marriage and get back to who you were before. Then take everything about the marriage that made you better, put it all together and move forward into a new chapter of your life.

I'm glad you're over the hump Jason! Welcome back to the madness!
Pickings are very slim in my neck of the woods. Another fun fact, a lot of women see a single dad as "damaged goods" and aren't willing to give guys like me a chance .
That's a good post Al. I've always had heavy depression in my life and taking my own life has occurred to me more than once so I can understand why people do it. Their are a lot of people that fall through the cracks of life and are in a position mentally to just want to end it. My real life, for example, has very few people who care about me and online, even less. That's just how life treats some and when you feel that pain, isolation makes it even worse.
Most days I just deal with my hand in life, others its a bit more difficult.

Hmmm...I don't see that here in South Jersey. A LOT of girls I know go out with single Dads! In fact, most guys I see on the singles scene on Friday nights are single dads & they are hooking up left & right! Wish I was!

At least we seem to like you here! You'll have to go out after NYCC & help Predator31 & I pick up babes! The Beer Authority in Hell's Kitchen is our place! Some girl showed me her boobs & gave me her phone number there! Woo-Hoo! And it was Predator31's first night of drinking EVER!
