GM's thread about nothing (23 Viewers)

I really should go to coshole. I'm a complete ####### for not going.
:goodposting:
It's even worse than you think. At first I wasn't going because I didn't know what was going on with my life/job/schedule, but now I see I could make it for a day at least. Reason I'm not going: because I'm ####### fat. Seriously. Something awful has happened particularly in the last year and I've gained an enormous amount of weight--and am not pregnant despite GMTAN reports to the contrary--and am now fat and disgusted with myself and don't want to hold myself out that way to my iFriends. So I'm not going to see people I care about, including Uruk who might be dying, because of vanity. So now I'm disgusted with myself not only for being fat but for being a vain jerk, too. :(ETA: And also whining about myself when CD has actual problems.
I put the O/U average weight at coshole at 205. And that's without me in attendance.
 
Banner day around here. My wife found that I was putting our family savings in to our business without consulting her and is threatening to divorce me. She's been mad before but this is the first time she's said that. Truthfully, I am doing everything I can to fix it but if she is serious there may be little I can do. I abused her trust and at the moment she is disgusted by the sight of me. Go patriots!
Holy crap, that's tough.Was she that unclear on the finances, really? I thought she was involved in the operation. And she doesn't work another job, right? Hard to believe she did not know what was happening. And its not like you were spending the money on fast cars, coke and whores. You were trying to develop the biz to buy her new houses and stuff. You're both still well under 40, so its not really like you can't dig out and have a prosperous life. Sad to hear you're going through this. Wife and I have been through some really tough times together where I'm surprised we made it, but it gets better.
I wish it weren't so, but I hid it from her well. She has always supported me 100% as long as the reserve cushion was in place. And I used the reserve cushion and she is devastated. The money is not lost, it's in our accounts receivable. But I have violated her trust and that is hard to fix.
The violation of trust is obviously a big issue, but if the money is there, and not inaccessible, then she may come around, depending on how much that money was. If nothing else, it should serve as a lesson learned.
 
A lot of words guys. I'm trying, but I rarely make it past 3 sentences.
I will translate mine into haiku formThe smell of my dateMade me wish for bedbug bitesSex not worth two meals
It was a very entertaining story for me if it makes you feel better.
I was hoping for more detail :popcorn:
Was she smelly, you know, down there?
:yucky: Less Detail!

I'm awful with money. Downright awful. I pay bills right when they are about to get cutoff and have spent the last ten years living like one day I'll have so much money all of this will seem silly. It's a character flaw and I don't know where it came from and, even worse, I don't know how to put it back in the bottle. If I were single without kids than I could keep it up, but it is terrible to wake up one day (like today) and realize you are never going to be a zillionaire when your whole life has been lived like you would be. I'm a 35 year old JAG only I should have realized it years ago. I even sent in an article (upon request) to my uppity private high school alumni magazine about how great it is owning your own business and making your own rules. Right now, I wish I'd simply had a job and been normal for the last ten years. The stress of what I do doesn't affect me, but it HURTS the people around me. Devastates them and I go on. It has me wondering (genuinely) if I am a sociopath or have a screw loose. I've lost money from so many investors I can't keep count. I'm about to lose my wife over it. My daughter is 2 and I couldn't live in a world where she doesn't wake up in a bedroom down the hall from mine, but that didn't stop me from getting in this situation. I know that this is a fun message board, and I know there are people on it that may not like me. Maybe they will laugh at me and I probably deserve it. But tonight I feel like a fraud of a man and a terrible husband, father, and son. I have never hit rock bottom because I have an innate talent to cover rock bottom with a gorgeous window dressing, but I'm all out of illusions and show. If the Patriots win I'll feel marignally better. And I still think the T'eo thing is funny. so I have that going for me.
Colin, I have been exactly where you are, when my restaurant failed years ago. From losing all of our money, nearly losing my marriage, my home, and all the other important things in my life, at a time when my daughter was the same age as yours. I can't say that it was easy, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I'd be happy to talk to you offline. Send me a pm if you want to talk.

I am one that prides myself on my enthusiasm and skill in that particular act, but I didn't even play that card this morning. The nose never got below the cleavage line. She was freshly showered, but I was pretty scarred at that point.

Thanks. I appreciate that. My brother just called me asking if I wanted to have a beer, which never happens. That means he talked to our mother who told him what I told her earlier, which is that i need to find a job. I have been an ### to my brother for years. I have abused his friendship and he's still trying to help. Sorry to pollute the GMTAN...I'll be gone for the night as soon as I can find a rock to crawl under for a while.

I will try not to go all Guster in length, but must share what happened to me yesterday/today:Since Thursday morning, I have been going no stop, making funeral arrangements, calling family/friends, going into the office after being out for what feels like all of 2013, things have been busy. Things finally slowed down Saturday afternoon to the point where every else that has to be done, can only be done on Monday and Tuesday. So kind of reached out to a couple of the girls that I have been dating off and on, just to see what might pop up. Ice Cream Girl, who has been nothing more than an occasional date since July, eagerly accepted to come over and just "hang out", and offered up the secks to "take my mind off things." I said I would pick her up at 5.Now, I haven't seen ICG in a few months. The first time we met, she was a yuppie teacher, curvy, but very nice and great conversation. A bit flaky, as I have mentioned that she will drop off the face of the Earth for weeks or months at a time, and then pop up again like nothing has happened. It has probably been two months since I have seen her. Since we first met, she has moved twice, and now currently lives with 4 roommates that I just recently find out are friends of her from her Occupy Dallas group. :unsure: A text right before I head across town to pick her up, she texts me "Our dryer is broken, do you mind if I bring some laundry over to wash." I say sure. We are just planing on watching some TV and playing doctor, no reason she can't do a load of laundry. :unsure: When I pick her up, it's clear that her "I've lost a lot of weight since we last saw each other" text was a straight up lie, or maybe she just misplaced the weight somewhere else on her body. And next to her is easily a 50 pound bundle of laundry that has not been clean in quite some time. 5 mins into our drive back to my place, she tells me that "she has taken on the lifestyle of her hippie roommates in many ways, including not showering as much". Yeah, my nose figured this out about 4 mins and 55 seconds ago. She immediately says she is hungry and really wants Middle Eastern for dinner. Of course. I quickly find a place out of the way for gyros, hummus and hot tea.We get to my house, and get her laundry started, we watch TV and she decides that she is ready to go to bed. She changes into freshly laundered PJs and we go to bed. The smell is not so bad, so I move in for some fun, to which I get turned down repeatedly. :confused: At this point, I'm just ready to get some sleep, get to morning and get her back across town. But that doesn't happen. Instead she tosses and turns, whines and moans about not being able to sleep. This goes on until late, really late. I finally just block it out and drift off, waking up around 5 am to her taking a shower. :thumbup: I wake up around 8 am, get up, make sure her laundry is done (it is, she changed it over sometime in the middle of the night) Sometime around 9:30, she wakes up, offers the secks and I accept, but it was about the worst I think I have ever had, which is saying something. (Insert ex-Mrs. Bogart joke here)We leave for her place, stopping for breakfast of course, and over the entire drive, I learn how Obama has been poisoned with power, the media is too conservative, we are all just being fed what corporations want us to know, and that we are heading to a dark age where all information will be denied or false and religions will hold down creative thinkers. :confused: :confused: I have never dropped off a girl, friend hugged, and gotten out of there so fast before in my life. I have spent all day today, drinking Crown and Coke, watching football and washing every sheet, blanket and towel she touched on the sanitary cycle of the washing machine.I'm ready to find a nice, normal girl, who enjoys showers, to date for a little while.
I love when you guys share dating stories on here, both good and bad.

Not for the faint of heart.My EYES! My EEEYYEESS!
Starke, FL? Yep. Makes sense.
:goodposting: Isn't there some creepy church there, St. George or something? I remember driving through there and just wanting to get through it as fast as possible.
I've driven through Starke more times than I can count having gone to school at UF. I never did stop for some smoked mullet. :unsure:
Yep, didn't go to UF, but drove through there on the way to and from Gainsville a handful of times.
 
Bogart's story reminds me of the girl i once dated with awful breath. She was perfect in every other way, especially the ta-tas. Damn they were glorious.

Not that there's anything wrong with my wife's breasts, but I think I'm going to go get her pregnant again so they can get bigger for a while.
 
I don't think I can take two more weeks of the Ray Lewis lovefest.
Dont forget the Harbaugh vs Harbaugh talk...while it is cool that 2 brothers will oppose each other as head coaches in the super bowl...why does it have to be these two
Which brothers would you prefer?
Hmm... Harbaughs... Ryans... Harbaughs... Ryansugh(I know only one Ryan is a HC though)ETA: Guster beat me to it
There's also the Pagano brothers, but same conference

Out of everything you've just mentioned, the fact that you're switching from keystone to something worse makes me the most sad for you
A man has to do what a man has to do.
In all seriousness, as one who has had his life completely absolutely fall apart in every conceivable way, keep plugging and it'll get better. Not that knowing that makes it any easier to go through the crap. Good luck.
Thanks. It will be fine. I've tried to explain to my wife that nothing has failed, it has simply changed. I tell her it's a process, and it's iterative. Just because I couldn't make us rich the first five years doesn't mean I can't make us happy in the next five. Not to make a pity party out of it, but when we started I envisioned wealth and prosperity. Now I look at my baby girl and I just want to do right by her. The other stuff seems unimportant.

Yeah, the whole drunk 350 days a year thing seems a little excessive.

That's probably good advice.

Wouldn't implants be cheaper?
Yes, but I'd be terrified to broach that subject with the wife.
 
haven't been to the Shark Pool in a couple years.. but if someone wants to chum the water :unsure: i was thinking a "Defense is the reason the Pats won those SB's, not Brady" thread might be fun

Sorry to hear CD. An unsolicited piece of advice here...go talk to someone professional. It at least will show to your wife that you've acknowledged that you have things to work out and will actively to so in order to save your marriage.
