Title: How do I construct a life for myself?
Post by: James28 on February 12, 2011, 10:23:52 AM
Long story condensed into a few sentences.

I spilt up with my fiancée two months ago. We were together 8 years. My whole identity the past decade has been Mr Dependable, Mr Future Husband And Father, Mr Job/Retirement Plan/Twice-Yearly Holidays. You get the idea. I was her and she was me. We did everything together. She bought my clothes, I took her car for services, our parents are friends. So basically I became soft, dependent. Now it's all gone, leaving me with a big lump of money (we sold the house in 2 days) and no fucking idea what to do with myself or, as lame as it may sound, who the hell I even am.

The idea of going back out there, smashing some loose tail isn't appealing to me right now. It just aint. I moved in with a friend while I'm looking around for an apartment. All I have right now is the gym and my job, and I'm hitting that hard. Hell, I might even compete if I can keep this up.

Anyway. I go to work, come home, go to the gym, come home, eat, sleep. I go out once a week at most since our friends was mutual and it's too weird for them right now. So basically I got fuck all to do. I look around and try and figure out what guys my age (30) do and they're either married with a kid, or going nowhere fast. It's a very awkward age where I'm too old to pull 20 year olds, while the girls my age are looking out for the long term.

So what do I do? I got quite a bit of money out of this house sale. Do I put it towards a sleek bachelors pad with a 65' TV and all the electronics I could want, or do I buy sensibly in the suburbs and wait for another girl to come along, just so I can start this whole fucking process all over again?

Draw upon your own lives and give me some ideas.

Pink spandex and juvenile behaviour well into my 40's whilst pumping more drugs into me than what's found in Pfizer research lab? No thanks.

Last thing you should be doing is waiting for another girl to come by....just accept and enjoy the fact that you are alone now. Most people make the mistake of trying to shoehorn some random chick into the mold of their Ex and it never works.

Being alone isn't the worst thing in the world and you will begin to see this in time as you get your bearings.....of course you're all fucked up now but it WILL pass.

Nothing wrong with going out and buying yourself some shit but don't be a douche and try and be Mr. Sharper Image if that ain't you

Whatever you do don't become some smuck that does 8 balls of coke each night just to get through the pain.

Keep your money protect it, afterall it's all you got after 8 years. Pick up a new hobbie that you know you will get board of in a few weeks, buy several seasons of a tv show/download,  get a console system or something that will occupy your brain for a few months until you can get back on the prowl.


P.S, at your age there are loads of desperate chicks you just can't see them if that helps.

First, DO NOT waste the money.  Sure, spend some on getting yourself set up in a new place, but absolutely do not blow all the cash.

Second, take a vacation, get away from everyone and clear your head. You'll figure everything out.

I've spent all day on the sofa watching through Season 1 of Two and a Half Men, it helped take my mind of things, sure. One thing you said saddened me. All I have to show for EIGHT fucking years of my life is a bit of money. That's ... sad, terrible.

i agree with groink.

dude, it sounds like you have committed yourself to thinking that unless you have a girl in your life it is not going to be any good. you gotta think oppositely. first you have to be happy with who you are and where you are in life, then if that chick comes along- great. if not- great. you get that?

you cannot build your happiness around being with someone, or depending on someone to make you happy.

i am single right now- i have an analogy i tell people when they ask if i want a gf again or when i'll want one.

you see, my life is like cake right now- i love cake. its my favourite dessert, right? a good woman in my life would be like ice cream- she'd really compliment my cake, or life. but just because there is no ice cream to go along with my cake doesnt mean the cake isnt good.

thats where you gotta get- then you'll be out of your rut. dont let your actions over the next couple weeks/months be dictated by the thought of having or needing a woman in your life. do what makes you happy. and then you'll be truly happy, and when and if that person comes along- great. if she doesnt- great too. you get that?

good luck bro.

Dude, I'm going through the exact same thing as you right now - I split up with my wife back in July last year and I came out of it with a £30,000 lump sum payout which I used to put down as a deposit for my new house (didn't fancy renting). We'd been together for ten years and married for the last six - I've been in my new house since September and since then I've been keeping myself busy by doing some much needed work on the house and getting my head straight again because it fucked me up big-time.

All I have at the moment is my job and the gym and like you I sit at home at weekends watching re-runs of shit TV - but I'm aware it'll pass - it won't be like this forever. I'm not sure what the future holds regarding women but I'm a decent looking guy and I've had my offers since women found out I'd split with my wife but at the moment I can't be fucked with it. I'm just enjoying being on my own and trying to expand my circle of friends (which isn't easy but it's doable). Once I've got a bit more money again and the house is complete, I'll go on the lookout for some tail but not until I'm ready - the world doesn't revolve around women and as long as I'm financially secure and I've got a decent enough home then I'm happy.

only way to get a better job is to go back to 'school'. which translates to several more years, tens of thousands of dollars, and a miserable workload all for the 'chance' to get a better job.

But continuing in your current job is better in the long term? Right now you have NO chance, with some education you may have SOME chance.

8 balls and strippers is definitely teh awesome.

Ludgren is a homo and has no place in this thread.

Groink has given good advice.

Set yourself up in a nice place and move on with your life.  Do the things you like to do.  30 is not too old for 20 year old girls, in fact, having your shit together at 30 can set yourself up for some quality young girls who will treat you like royalty.  Don't try and replace the ex, and don't try to replace the relationship.  You have all the time in the world on your hands, enjoy it.

I got NO debts. Are everyone so indebted these days that it's not automatically assumed that you're weighed under by credit cards and loans?  ???

I got enough money from the sale of the house to slap a massive deposit down a place and still have money left over to style it out. However, that wasn't the point of this thread. The only money I've spent so far is replacing my whole wardrobe. I'm sick of the shit I was wearing and went a little bit more expensive. If I'm going to be playing in the field again, I suppose I have to look the part.

Good advice mate, I fully intend to. As I'm older now and more set in my ways, I'm a bit more picky too. It's going to take a while to find someone again. Well, someone that would stick around longer than 24 hours anyway.

James,

Wake up, go to work, then do anything you feel like doing.  Wash, rinse, repeat.  Eventually, something cool will happen.

Just, like others have said, don't do anything knee-jerk.  Also, don't beat yourself up about the whole last 8 years thing.  This isn't a contest where you have to collect trophies for what you did..  Just enjoy what's ahead.

im not going to read the whole thread but im sure you heard this before.

HOBBIES!!!! 

seriously, the last time my girl and i split i got into all kinds of stuff.. RC airplanes, fishing, yoga, tennis, etc.

best time ever not being missed and doing what you want.  the hardest part is finding out what that is supposed to be.

also, i suggest getting into some kind of spiritual enlightenment.  i'm talking zen, meditation, eastern culture, martial arts (including tai chi, kendo, ninjitsu, etc.) and your religious if you are into that.  it will return a sense of balance and peace to your life and is the best foundation possible for rebirth of the soul.

Find a weekend hobby or something besides sitting on the couch. Maybe a social-type hobby like golf?

Btw why at 30 do you feel you can't go and crush some 20-something yr old women? I'll be 30 in 2 day and I can tell you I wouldn't feel too old for them if I were single, especially in the college town I live in  ;D. They are also at the age they probably won't want a serious relationship.

Find happiness within. Invest in yourself because you're the only person you can count on always being there. If you can't make yourself happy, you're missing the point of life. This is about you and what you can get out of it. You've now seen that your life can get up and walk out at any minute if you consider your girlfriend your life. I really think you should go about life seeking happiness for yourself without the ego getting in the way. Find interests, hobbies, things you can build goals on. If you don't have goals and dreams in life you've really got no direction, and you're just living to produce, consume, and eventually die.. And when you're going without direction you might end up somewhere you aren't familiar and it might be a place you're uncomfortable (Single without the wife now). Find a direction, find what makes you you and emphasize that shit. Take life for all it can give. You're going to die one day.

You're 30 years old which is still young. Take some time and figure out what it is you want to do with your life and stay with it. Find something concrete that will be there when all else walks out on you. Something non abstract you can always count on. Open yourself up to new ideas. You are going to be dead one day. Do what you can to be happy from now til then.

30 is very, very young. I don't know why people consider themselves old at 30 or 40. You can easily start over. Many people haven't even started their first life at that age.

And everybody thinks he has nothing to show for when looking back. That's because whatever we have achieved, it's never enough. That's how our minds work.

Anyway. I go to work, come home, go to the gym, come home, eat, sleep. I go out once a week at most since our friends was mutual and it's too weird for them right now. So basically I got fuck all to do. I look around and try and figure out what guys my age (30) do and they're either married with a kid, or going nowhere fast. It's a very awkward age where I'm too old to pull 20 year olds, while the girls my age are looking out for the long term.
At 30?  You'd be surprised at the young age you could still pull.  In shape alone puts you ahead of most guys who are early 20s.
I'd get a hotter, younger female...sounds very cliche, but I'll say...my girl is 22, I'm 35.  Never been happier.
It can be a rough road getting hung up on a past relationship and more pussy won't always help....maybe some blow along with it should remove emotions and turn you into a hooker pounding coke champ.
Watch "Last Run" with Fred Savage...classic.

Please consider. ;)

I had to turn down sex last night (for the first time!) as my dick was about to lose all its skin, shrivel up and die. Been banging her for just over two weeks and this has easily been the best two weeks of my life. I dunno what the fuck they have in the water up there in Scandinavia, but the women are stupidly sexy and totally insatiable.
