I broke my no drinking rule. That didn't take long. Starting over today with a wicked hangover. Hopefully i remember this misery next time I'm tempted.

You should have snapped back with something like, "Yeah, these damn kids. It's not like they have made up bone spurs or something."

I am not a confrontational person, but I nearly lost it in the fabric store today. I didn't know if I wanted to laugh, cry, or scream. Overheard this lady and a retired vet talking about how they "heard on the news" that 70% of teenagers can't serve in the military bc of "made up mental health issues and obesity and isn't it just sad how selfish they are. And the military is just a social experiment anyway. All they do now is train for that fake choose your own gender stuff. Anywho, stay strong, keep the faith!" Like legit was waiting on a "Trump 2024". They said some other things too. I hate living here. Freaking backwoods hellhole. That's what I get for eavesdropping I suppose.

If I can quit drinking you can too! I'm going on three months. Keep posting! I believe in you. You can do it!

The thing I hate the most about DST besides losing an hour of sleep is setting all my clocks. The car clock is the worst!

I'm going to quit drinking. I don't know how, but I'm going to. I hate myself and i want to change.

Keep your eyes and ears open. My H and I are headed towards divorce. A few years ago, this was his exact behavior - being angry over every little thing, lashing out, excessive drinking. Lately he's been very kind, calm and loving, which I admit had my suspicions up. Last month I brought that period of time up in a conversation, and he admitted that he wanted a divorce that year. ??? I recently found out that he's had a side piece for a couple years, and while doing a deep dive, I discovered that the year his behavior changed, he'd cheated on me with two different women. I hope this isn't the case for you, but I'd start looking into things.

Is it just me or is everyone and everything insufferable these days? Maybe it’s me.

I'm 35, married for about 5 years. I work with a few young women in their early to mid 20s. Most of them have no interest in marriage. The ones who do, it's not a priority. This warms my heart so much. Getting married is my #1 regret in life and I'm so glad more young women are wising up to the sham it actually is.

My H is angry all the time lately. The tiniest thing will set him off. He never lashes out at me, but he will lash out at our 12yo and it's very upsetting for him for obvious reasons. I don't know what I can do. H refuses therapy or counseling "I can talk to myself for free." And refuses to talk out what is upsetting him. He only goes to work. When he is off, he does what he wants undisturbed- be that vegging out, drinking and binging tv or going golfing 5 days a week. I do everything else in an effort to help his stress levels. So i don't fully understand how he could be angry about being too stressed out or something. He only works 2.5 days a week as it is. He's also got a drinking problem he refuses to address and even drove home drunk last week and tore up the car. All of this is very out of character for who he used to be. I don't know how to reach him.
