@RodrickSage - thirded.
I know you want to see the best in that advice, but it's ill-suited to a man.
Women manipulate. Men can manipulate. Women are miserable, which is why they always bitch. A man who adopts female life strategies will be miserable.
This misery is because women have no striving within them. They have no vision of anything beyond their immediate emotions. But a man does. So the misery of female behavior will hit him much harder.
Women are built for that. Men aren't. 🍻
@RodrickSage - You know you don't want to be that guy. And I'm pretty sure of that too.
Keep your head up. Things will change. 🍻
@RodrickSage - I have a bio-father with the same mentality. He also has numerous suicide attempts under his belt (apparently, it runs in the family). I would shed no tears if he ever succeeded. 🥃
He has burned every relationship to the ground, because he uses and abuses people, one by one, until they've had enough.
He's chosen to be an absolute dirt bag. And I would love nothing more than to sever his head from his body, but that would break my grandma's heart. And she has always been kind.
