Welcome to The Hub. This is our welcoming tribe dedicated to introducing yourself, meeting new people, and learning about new tribes.
And of course, if you didn't think we were tracking edits you haven't been on the internet long enough. Here's our hall of fame.
I've meditated my own way since age 10. It's largely how no one notices I'm bipolar. Consciously mediate? No not often. I should do that right now
@Vermillion-Rx You practiced meditation at all? There's a lot of new age bunkum surrounding it, but the practice distilled down to its actual function can be very helpful and later insightful for a mind busy with thoughts.
I think the worst part about quitting alcohol is the insomnia. I abused it as a sleep med on top of my meds for 2 years.
Couldn't sleep? Another shot. Still couldn't sleep? Another shot. Rinse and repeat till I'm asleep.
This is hell. I just want to be tired. NyQuil (I'm actually sick or I'd take ZzzQuil) and meds aren't doing enough. I still need to get that herb someone mentioned.
This is hell, sitting alone in bed with sober, unburied thoughts that normally would be drowned out. It's like forced growth and i just want to sleep. So many formerly numb thoughts all hitting me with the weight of how they were supposed to feel at the time but didn't.

Sounds kinda weak on your part. Like, you want to simultaneously be incapable (for whatever reason) and command respect/submission. Can't have one without the other. Don't know what the nature of your medical condition is. But if you're going to be out of commission, then maybe let your wife decide for herself what she needs. If you just acknowledged that in the first place, then you wouldn't have to lose face by first resisting, and then not getting your way anyways.
That whole "not coming around for Easter holidays" ordeal seems kinda pointy and childish too. If your frame is really so weak that you can't stomach an Easter holiday around your nagging (but helpful) mother-in-law, then maybe you should take it as an opportunity to practice a bit of game.
As for the first 2-3 years of a kid's life; Sure, you could say a lot of the practical, baseline nurturing stuff is more mother's domain. But you still form a strong bond with them (one that subconsciously impacts them for the rest of their lives). And that takes time spent with them.
Read More@derdeutscher I’ll be straight with you. I’m sick to the back teeth of dealing with people with petty and self made problems that make them miserable and loathsome creatures on a day to day basis that take it out on everyone else. This story right here? Checks all the boxes. Get a fucking grip. People put on underwear every single day, and then there’s you angling to make your hang up about it hers. I can just tell misery likes company here.

@derdeutscher Methinks you're HUNTING for something to get pissed off at her about! She was eager to fuck, and eager to discard the panties to facilitate this, right? If yes and yes, then why obsess over them?
Highest number of VCards i've ever given someone, spelling out "PANTIES" the best I can without hexadecimal.
