I have a story....lol

A colleague makes around $150k-$200k a year (he bragged, to everyone that was friends with me too apparently lol.) He hates his wife and openly admittedly cheating on her with an escort. Said guy tried to be her sugar daddy....'cept he found out escorts can be crazy (HMMMMMM, WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT?!) She's apparently blonde, early 20s, and a university arts major.

...dude has 2 kids. His wife found out. Had to take a picture with me when we went out for lunch. He hates his wife. And understandably so...that may as well have been his mom screaming at him during work meetings.

Man... sometimes when reading your ****, I think I'm going to be reading posts about you deciding to "check out permanently" like Jamie/Toysareforboys.

I'm really hoping that's not the case...

You make your own happiness.

Stop comparing yourself to others.

You need a smack upside the head, but in a good way.

You might say you wouldn't off yourself, but with your mentality, all it would take is a little push.

I wasn't the dater or the datee but I knew quite a few girls that had relationships with people 20+ years older. Normally lasted less than a year and involved trips, allowance, etc that substantially changed the standard of living of a starving student.

EDIT:
One memorable event had the older boyfriend doing a 350 km cannonball run in 2:15 in a Jeep while drunk for a booty call. Fack. She told him that she had an exam the next day so she was going to sleep at midnight. He made sure he arrived in time to take advantage of his investment. Moron.

Now I'm just going to imagine this is what everybody is doing when they blow past me at umpteen million kms per hour
 
I was a big gamer as a teen and young adult, and in hindsight it was 100% *caused* by depression/anxiety. Playing the guitar is what saved me from what I now largely consider to be a waste of time. I'll play a few games of NHL with cousins and nephews at Christmas, that's it.

I don't restrict my 7yo son's screen time, mostly because he gravitates towards educational content (he's into Minecraft and roller coaster designing games, both of which are awesome), but if he ever gets into that FPS nonsense (or ******* poker) Ima nip it in the bud.

You'd think the GTAM crowd would be mostly immune to chronic depression. My mood immediately improves after a motor and/or pedal bike ride.

I’ve never been into watching sports on tv. Sure when playoffs happen I may watch…but regular games no chance.

To each their own I guess. I love watching live sports (except baseball) due to atmosphere…but on tv…meh.

same, I might tune into a playoff basketball game here and there

I'm definitely the sibling that would try to sneak your kid a PS4 if they showed the slightest interest
 
lol, I'm not totally opposed to it, just a bit wary. I kinda want one along with a copy of the latest NHL and Gran Turismo to keep us busy during sh1tty weather weekends.

I mostly have an issue with the mindless CoD and online poker *lifestyles* (which tend to overlap quite a bit IME).

polyamorous relationship would be interesting.

It could work with the right participants. For most people, I think it would likely add a lot of complication to their lives and likely is the precursor to a complete breakdown in the primary relationship.

EDIT:
Friends of my parents (husband (M) and wife (F) married for ~40 years with multiple kids) built a lakeside retirement house in conjunction with a friend (F). Each party contributed money and they were going to share the house (theoretically as friends). You'd invite husband and wife for dinner and friend would show up with them. Ten years later, wife was officially hooked up with friend, husband was dumped and they sold the house as they couldn't afford to buy him out. Wife and friend got 75% of the proceeds, husband got 25%. That wasn't enough for him to buy something else. He's retired with fixed income so he could make a downpayment but bank won't approve much of a mortgage.

swingers and sugar daddies…you sure you don’t live on the compound of some sex cult?

There's lots of stories. One night at Sex with Sue, someone wrote a question on a card that they were too afraid to ask publicly. Their boyfriend has ahem "made a deposit" in their eye a week ago and their vision had been blurry ever since in that eye. They wondered what to do about the issue.

Another night a rap crew which shall not be named sat in a semi-circle in the green room while patrons worked their way around the circle. When done, the patrons were given a towel to throw over their shoulder. The patrons looked so proud of themselves wandering around with the towel but for people that knew how they earned it, it was gross.

On a serious note: I appreciate the concern and it's absolutely valid. I'm aware of what's happening to me mentally.
