Marital situation seems to be evolving from 'if' to 'when', which isn't very fun.  It's only complicated by some very concerning behavioral health concerns.  She has point blank said she doesn't want to be an adult anymore.


We see a counselor tomorrow, but I'm not really optimistic at all.  I'm now looking at what can I do to keep the house and keep my kids' home as intact as possible. 


Despite all of this, I'm not nearly as sad or upset as I would have thought I would be.  I suppose that's telling about the nature of our relationship.


And so the saga will continue.
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

I'm sorry to hear that, dude. :(


So, if I can get an stipended internship, I think I'm going to take a semester off.

Sorry to hear that, RWHN.

On the other hand, the "adult" comment speaks to a mid-life crisis.  Therapists can help with that.

This. Could be the situation is temporary/ breakdowny?

It's what happens when married people suddenly realize they aren't 22 anymore.

Happens all the time.

Of course, I could be wrong, but it looks pretty straightforward.

Possibly. But I'm having a hard enough time motivating myself that I'm considering it. It's not a depression, because I feel fine otherwise, it's burnout.

Yeah, but going BACK just doesn't seem to happen, a lot of times.

I can understand she doesn't want to be an adult, but she's got this bundle of genetic code called "children" that doesn't give a shit what she does or doesn't want.

Welp, I'm back home.  And by home, I mean Bournemouth.

I'm not sure when I first felt like I was back home.  Perhaps it was the aroma of seagull shit and stale vomit as I stepped off the train.  Or when someone threw half a can of cider at me while shouting incomprehensible obscenities.  Or the teenage single mother who aimed her child's pram directly at me and tried to use it as a battering ram to run me over.

All I was missing was a Somalian offering me a free sample, a rich prick from Poole with a yacht and some wannabe guidos trying to work on their tan by walking around topless, despite the fact it's almost always overcast and below 10 celsius here.

You have cider in cans, cheap enough to throw half of one at a stranger?

I'm envious.  :sad:

:lulz:



I tend to let people know when I don't like them, generally in the bluntest way possible without getting nasty: "I don't like you, please don't talk to me." This works most of time. They avoid me and we all live happily ever after.
But sometimes, sometimes someone special comes along, who doesn't get the broken record. I have one of those around again.

Advise me, O Wise Pee Dee, what do with this creepy, creepy person? The broken record doesn't work and my second tactic of totally ignoring him doesn't work. "Hi Garbo!" greets me every time we cross paths, once or twice a week. I actively hate this boy, which I thought I made pretty clear to him. Everyone knows my feelings, everyone we mutually know is creeped out by him to varying degrees, so there are no holds barred.

Is all he's saying "Hi"?  Or is he also trying to chat you up?

In any case, I'd suggest going with the bad wiring approach. 

Him:  "Hi, Garbo!"

You:  "I'll cut you."

Him:  "What???"

You:  You heard me.

This. Or else discreetly arrange for some of your henchmen to cross his path and give him a good sound greeting. "Hi Garbo!"
