I guess it is kind of a contradiction but I mean that I put so much into a marriage and tried to provide a nice life for my wife to find as far as my marriage goes it was basically a waste of over 20 years. The ONLY good thing that came from it was my son.

P.K. - There is a really good book called "Anyway" by Kent M. Keith (If you haven't heard of it). (interesting story about it too, involving improper attribution). Anyway, heh. Take it easy (I don't have much to add, just glanced at your post).
Well, that might be all that was supposed to be. Who knows? I've got a similar situation, been together for 30 years, got three great daughters, but my marriage has been over for years. I'm financially stuck in it, and that's a massive barrier for trying to get another relationship started. Just have to make the most of it. Sometimes our lives are just a sacrifice it seems. And, it's not a waste if you've learned something from it and can use that to better your life.

As okidoke said, you have your son, so not all of this was a waste. Besides your son, what is stopping you from walking away? This clearly is not a good thing for you.
It was so very frustrating to wake up just as the “action” was about to take place.

@TheRealCallie. OK, here’s a new-to-me Twinings tea flavour. Let me guess, do you already have this down south? Sounds yummy!

Lol, I literally JUST found that in the store. Had my first cup yesterday. It was pretty good, though it could use a bit more flavor, in my opinion.

Figured! I can’t find it up here in the Great White North yet, will probably be a few months before I see it in stores.

Well, I’m missing the Billy Idol concert tonight, but on the upside, I’m moving into my dream house this weekend. There’s always gotta be a trade-off, it’s all good. 
Anyone else log on to the world hoping something new and different has come into your world to make a good difference, then realise nothing has changed?

Signed up for an in-person info session on Sept. 5, for apprenticeship programs at my local community college.
It covers a lot of different fields, so I hope that I qualify, and that there's something in there that's a match for me.

I found a boardgame group, but I'm scared to go 
I'm even scared to ask, what language do they speak or maybe I don't need to speak a lot while playing. I'm also not sure if older people can visit, I mean nobody forbid them, but if there are only young ones there then it's uncomfortable. And what if I don't get the rules(or not get fast enough)
I'm scared(and lazy) to look for a new job.
And after all I can somehow make some connections, even friends, but... online, and I can't do it irl. Maybe it is smth in my looks or maybe it's not... And right now I was supposed to be sleeping not whining or thinking.

Hey there. Haven't seen you around here in a while.
Just wanted to say, glad you are doing OK! At least, in other ways besides the board game and job situations.
What are you scared of? Ask yourself? You’ll probably be wrong. Just go check it out, and if it doesn’t suit you for whatever reason, you won’t be any worse off. At least you can say you faced a fear, and it’s experience for tackling something else. Go, go check it out.I found a boardgame group, but I'm scared to go

I can understand your discomfort, but are you going to kick yourself more, if you go and decide it just isn't for you or if you don't go and just decide to not take the chance to check it out?

Hey good for you! Good luck!Well, I’m missing the Billy Idol concert tonight, but on the upside, I’m moving into my dream house this weekend. There’s always gotta be a trade-off, it’s all good.
I was here, just reading.
Thank you.
I'm afraid not to understand people and/or to upset them. It's not cool to play with someone who can't play good, but probably if they had someone good to play with, they wouldn't come to a group. Thank you. I wrote to them, omg!
