I have been through the ringer myself in my own marriage these past ten months. What I would say, is try not to make any final decisions if you can. Temporary separation comes to mind and maybe some counseling might help?

I have always found pull-ups more challenging than how much you can bench. Good luck buddy!


I can do so many pullups ,Most people get tired counting them .

Sorry karate. Maybe a break is a good thing; some people aren't meant to be together. However, I hope things don't become too contentious between the two of you.

Karate,
I only know you through SR but I cannot for the life of me imagine how steroids could be good for you in this situation. Or any situation, actually. Read some of those good books you have, eat well, take walks, and sleep if you can. You need to sort this thing out for yourself. Be well and try to be good. Don't do anything rash. We're a all pulling for you.

Open your tiny mind. Completely sexist and backward.

Sorry Karate. Keep your head up. I know how hard is can be. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Post when you need support. Mine left a couple years ago and it was real hard but it gets better as time passes. Just do the next right thing and surround yourself with good folks.

Edited.

Karate, why the sudden interest in steroids? They can honestly mess around with your testosterone and make you incredibly irritable with a short fuse. Dangerous stuff man. I suggest checking out GNC, they have some pretty legit stuff that can help in a safer way than steroids.

Do you care to elaborate on what lead to this? How do you feel? I hope you reach out for support, regardless if you feel you are "fine" or not. A dissolution of marriage can be tough, even if you don't realize it at this very moment.

Karate;
I wonder sometimes if the drinking isn't the "buffer" some of us use to get along in many things, including relationships.

We accept things that really aren't acceptable to us by numbing ourselves out.

Maybe this issue has really bothered you for many years--you yourself say your whole life has been about working working working. That's not really a way to live.

If you are saying no to overspending, that is, in my view a normal and healthy response.
I hope that upon reflection your wife can see this as well, and you have a say too about where the resources you are earning should go.

I don't know if this applies, but maybe it does.

I really respect how far you've come--please don't let this derail anything for you.

Karate, I am really sorry. I will echo others and say that going to the Gym sounds like a great idea but the roids, not so much, not so much.

Stay strong; keep on reaching out to us.

Over 20 years ,Its just life
acceptance is a funny thing. Yest the cat got hit by a car I had to bury it in the yard. Now to me it was just a utility it did a dang good job keeping the mice out of the garden etc.. I was more mad i had to dig a hole in the heat and stop doing my other chores. Also frustrated now i gotta add getting another cat tot he list of things i need.

But to my daughter it was a pet and she was heart broken. (why i had to dig a hole and handle things with a bit of heart).

My dad was distraught as well. To them i said its life its how it is this stuff happens so what. Thats acceptance no biggie.

For me i can take a situation like that shrug my shoulders and move on. But other situatons will run me right the heck over and send me into a ditch if i'm not careful.

I'm glad you sound so seemingly accepting and not letting it get to you. You have to be calm and collected and dont allow it to get the best of you. Maybe you will workt hings out maybe you wont either way life goes on.

I just dont want to see it get the best of you regardless of how it works out.

Karate,

The lack of what you say here speaks volumes. More will likely be revealed and I hope your focus remains on learning to live sober.

Peace

Are you a kind of person who would rather have smooth and lengthy introduction or straight-to-the point person ?

I went through the divorce and I may offer insight, but I am asking you to help me communicate.

My question is - how do you want me to say things I want to say to you ?
