For my wife, we weren't looking for the magic bullet (although we looked in to a number of them / fucking all of them), we were just hoping to find something that slowed it down for 6 months, or 3 months, and then move on to the next chemo or trial to buy time. The things that are in trials...

I am hoping to be able to retire at 55 in 10 years. I thought both of the houses would be paid off by then, but it turns out the mortgage terms were not what I had thought. Work around is if I can come up with an extra 3k a month for the next 10 years they'll be done. (I thought we refinanced...

My son's 7th birthday is in a couple of weeks and today I decided I'd procrastinated enough. It was time to start practicing his letter from mom and getting his gift in order. I really don't want these letters from her to be any more sad than they already are because of me. I read it aloud...

... when your kids go to two roller skating/ blading birthday parties in the last month and they tell you they want me to do it with them this weekend at the park down the street. So you buy roller blades and even though you're 45 and haven't been on skates since 1991 and you assume it'll come...

I won't refute this. So the first woman I wound up having sex with post wife was something else. She was kind of a bigger girl (but not big big, I don't even know if big is the right description), pretty face, big boobs. Outgoing, but super wholesome. She was a big fan of trivia nights and...

I did it just to take the pressure off and it worked like a charm. Just having it as a backup let me get out of my own head. And with HIMS being an app, you don't even have to do anything except press some buttons. I'm sure you'll be fine, I just wanted to take the chance out of the equation.

You aren't threadjacking - jump in and say whatever is on your mind. I'm sorry you're going through it. How old are your kids? It's interesting the different perspective people have (sudden vs prolonged), I looked at it like a benefit, I had some time to prepare mentally, and she had time to...

It's funny you mention this as it came up recently for me. I really felt the same way, but then I was home a whole lot by myself. It's winter here forever which does a number on you, and I work from home anyway. I have some friends from around here, but most of my friends from college and...

I'll get to my stories, but first let's start with you. Well my friend. You're pretty much fucked. Recently divorced mid forties guy is like fucking plutonium to a lot of these women. Either they're coming out of a divorce and are looking to see what malevolent character traits blew up your...

Two years ago today. I think every year since I turned 18, the years have gone by faster and faster. The kids are good. I'm good. There are times when it is nearly unbearably shitty. Like when one of them does some milestone level thing and she isn't there, or when they're both sick and I'm...

Shannon Doherty at 53. fucking Cancer.

Is she talking to anyone professionally since her mastectomy? If not, I think that would be a good idea. Also, there are facebook groups solely dedicated to women that have had a hysterectomy, mastectomy, or both a hysterectomy and mastectomy so there's a lot out there to be a part of. My...

When I first scrolled by this and didn't read the text I assumed it had something to do with this:

I think just based on this cliff notes version of your relationship that doing nothing would leave you with regret. So, I say make more of an effort (go visit, try and call more, whatever) but have some clear lines in your own mind that when crossed you can say to yourself "Fuck this, I tried"...

Follow up to yesterday. The videos I didn't want to watch, the outtakes from my wife's recording. They weren't outtakes. At least based on the 8 minutes or so I made it through. They are different messages to the kids for different things. Things like if they aren't listening to me. If Rob...
