1. I've only had the RV for 4 months.

2. Sure. Send me $700 the first of each month to pay my lot fee.

3.

Bat, we were together for 38 years before the separation, and during the 7 months we were not living under the same roof, we still maintained a close relationship.

4. Menopause doesn't cause divorces. It can definitely mess with your ability to think rationally though.

5. Plus $1,000

Generally speaking, as we age our testosterone levels drop, sometimes dramatically. My sex drive today is 1/20th of what it was 30 years ago. Same with Linda. Plus, neither of us are spring chickens anymore. As far as pills go, they work great once you find the right one. But they are all about blood flow and have nothing to do with drive. And they have some nasty side effects that these days, I don't want to deal with. Masturbation works cause I can focus on the memories of me and Linda when we were young and sexually crazy. No way to recreate that stuff today.

So it was menopause. That's what killed four decades of marriage. I mean you can backpeddle but it certainly sounds like you're trying to push what must be some massive issues onto your wife going through a temporary woman thing that you aren't responsible for.

Maybe if you weren't chucking your new financial stability into a river to get a lease on a condo with a woman you were getting divorced from not even a year ago I'd say whatever knock yourself out, but this very much sounds like impetuous teenage decision-making from two people who should probably be taking things slow. Give it a few months and wait till you're actually solid as a couple (having been solid in the past doesn't count) before you start making financial decisions with each other.

You're obviously not reading my posts.

I'm off to work soon, so just preemptively:
Behave, you two (and everyone else). Unless you want to take a little (meno)pause from MB.

The ****ty part is a lady decided to not only email the store I work at about a negative experience she had with me, but she was also completely wrong in most of what she said.

And now I have to explain to my boss that I legit have no idea where she pulled what she said. She even twisted certain things I said to be against me.

I'm ****ing irritated because I've been working hard on keeping my cool and not getting upset and then I do my job right, and someone gets mad. I never win.

I'm mentally clocking out for today so...

They should have an understanding that sometimes the customer is just a ****.

I left a note with the email on my bosses desk and my coworker that witnessed it works in the morning tomorrow so I don't think I'm in that much ****. It just ****ing sucks.

Sorry I haven't been active as of late. Been busy trying to get my website back to 100%. I turned 31 on Jul 22nd. I bought myself a double action OTF knife as a birthday present on a whim, but it had a bad spring in it, so I returned it. Found out I could have bought it for half the price online anyhow.

Had some bad storms last night that knocked the power out.

I'm starting to realize that I need to do SOMETHING with my life in order to feel fulfilled. So I'm at a sort of [re]starting point.

Also, congrats @ Chula for the good news with you and your wife. Best of luck homie.

Don't worry about doing something with your life, it's only a blip that will ultimately be forgotten in the grand plot of time. Just do what makes you happy. Unless that's molesting children. Or mass shootings. Ahh you'll be fine. I remember when I first hit my 30s.

I don't know. I've always put WAY too much pressure on myself to succeed. I think it is because I come from basically nothing and grew up super poor, that I want to make a better life for myself and my son

Counterfeit currency is the obvious answer.
