  • Holy smokes I’m sorry. I didn’t know if my story can encourage you or not, but maybe it will.

    I got married in 1987. Not quite 20 years in in 2006, we split up. I was unhappy, and became an asshole and walked out in her and my three sons. I realized almost immediately that I couldn’t look myself in the mirror. And twenty months later we decided to give it a shot. It lasted almost two years before the wheels finally came off for good.

    So here I am, not quite 50 and very single. I met another girl, we became a couple and have now been together 13 years.

    It can happen. You can find happiness again








  • We had just moved from Portland to Denver, and were trying new restaurants. One Sunday we ordered delivery from a local Chinese place that had good reviews. Food came, we ate and all was good for a couple of hours.

    Then my wife said "I think I’m gonna puke* and dashed for the bathroom. Being the good husband, I followed her to hold her hair while she worshipped the porcelain god.

    She had barely got done emptying the content of her stomach, when I literally had to shove her out of the way to emoty mine.

    We were both miserable for about 36 hours.
