So I'm back to the world of Tinder, Bumble, and meeting women at bars. I'm currently juggling multiple text conversations over multiple applications, including texts from the girl I met and went home with last night, all of which are with women I don't have any real connection with. I do it because I desire to be close with someone, and actually I don't feel close to anyone. Series of band aids
But, on the flip side, my confidence is up because of last night, and we didn't even have sex. I didn't wake up with anxiety or shame.
You know, you should try to be a bit more open minded and watch the video. I personally find a lot of value in it. I also like that it's an orthodox woman lecturing a bunch of men.

I didn't watch the video which is why I specified that I disliked the book title. It just bothers me because it furthers the idea that if you get divorced then you're a failure of some sort which I feel to be incorrect. That's the idea that contributes to people staying in marriages that aren't working and aren't going to work because that's what you're supposed to do.
I will watch the video here in a bit though just to make you happy, pumpkin.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

Don't do it, Dave. I just watched it, and I found it quite infuriating haha - I feel you will too.
You don't need ANY shared interests for a happy marriage, only shared values? Yeah, values are super important, but no way in hell am I marrying someone with whom I have ZERO mutual interests.
Also she started talking about God when on the topic of values, and I think I stopped listening after that.

I watched about half of it. I don't get mad over such things, but I did disagree with her on numerous points. When it comes down to it, it's just a difference of opinion (it happens all the time with Dr. Joe and I). She isn't trying to make the world burn or anything.
It's a bummer you think someone has nothing of value to say once you find out they are a theist, Rummy.
I don't think she was saying the speaker had nothing of value to say since she was a theist. To me, it came off more like she was reacting to the speaker linking God to values. If you've been told repeatedly through your life that you can't have values and morals because you don't have God in your life, it gets real old.

If you'd watched the video, you'd know she referred to God as an example of a value that if you believe, you'd probably want to be shared by you spouse. Rummy said she stopped watching once the word God was said.

I watched about half of the video yesterday before deciding I had seen enough. I got off before the section about God, so I don't know specifically what the section was on. Also, Rummy said she stopped when she brought up God when talking about values not just when she spoke on God. Once again, that connection can bring up some bad feelings for some.

I was about to write almost exactly this - but you said it really well. I didn't stop paying attention then because I was angry or felt she immediately lost all merit in her arguments; but her connection of "shared values" to having love for God and the importance of that shared value, etc, is not something that is relatable or of value to ME, personally. Thus I lost some interest in the speech, yes. That doesn't mean I'm a bitter old atheist.

In fact, I am more agnostic than atheist and actually consider myself a fairly spiritual person - I go to Quaker meeting when I get the chance. I'm not anti religion and I didn't hear the word "God" and mute the video or turn a away in disgust. I was already not really connecting with her message - bringing God into it just furthered than disconnect for me. Nothing personal against the lady or her book. Or you, Jimmy.

At the end of the day, there are single, married, divorced, and widowed people who are happy, and there are single, married, divorced, and widowed people who are sad. It's all relative.
Would I be more or less happy had I never gotten married? Would I be more or less happy had I not gotten divorced? Would I be more or less happy had I married a different person? Would I be more or less happy if I had kids with my ex-wife?
Who knows? It's just about you and your current life situation. Do whatever works for who you are right now and try not to fuck over anyone else in the process.

Gab isn't a gentleman, and you certainly aren't a lady.
Edit: Gab may be a lady though.
The fact that you say I'm certainly not a lady with more emphasis/fervor than you say Gab isn't a gentleman....makes me question a lot of what you think about me, even of what I think of myself.

But, on the flip side, my confidence is up because of last night, and we didn't even have sex. I didn't wake up with anxiety or shame.
Just got back from a date with the girl from Saturday. It went way better than I expected. Getting them feels
I really need to figure out how to be happy by myself before I can be happy with any of these countless women I keep dating and hanging out with. I'm seeing multiple women at a time and getting a whole lot of temporary happiness, only to feel empty at the end of the day.
When I'm going on no dates and seeing no one, I feel anxious, bored, depressed, lonely, and disconnected. When I'm going on dates, I generally have a lot of fun when I'm with them, but then later feel empty, ashamed, embarrassed, aimless, and a little like an asshole. Every time things even remotely start getting close to serious, I get turned off by the whole thing and end it.
And it doesn't help when I have multiple nightmares last night involving my ex wife. There isn't much worse in this world than reliving the feelings of going through a divorce over and over again while you're trying to sleep.
It's a goddamn roller coaster that is getting old, and I'm basically just afraid that I may never be able to get close to someone again. Vent over.
I had a very bad breakup with my ex 3 years ago. At the end of it, I realized that my drinking contributed to it and that I'd have to completely stop before I started dating again. I didn't want to make another girl into a babysitter, which was what I essentially needed when I drank. Thus, I haven't dated anyone.
Well, it's day 100 and I just got done with my first fest, Hulaween, completely sober.
Little under a month ago, I PM'D this chick on fb that custom makes festival clothing and inquired if she was bring any w/ her to sell. It evolved from us planning to catch a sci show to her and a few of her friends meeting up and setting up camp with my buddy & I. It feels like I've reconnected with an old friend and we just picked up where we left off.
It went so well that her and her best friend stayed at my place close to SOSMP and we hit up the beach & other areas before they headed back home to TENN. All 3 of us came down with the hulabug, but it easily was one of the best weeks of my life. No drama, stress and only good positive vibes.
I live alone in a pretty nice 2/2. The 3 of us have talked extensively and both of them want to move down. The girl I originally pm'd on fb wants to date, which I'm definitely down for. Both of the girls are sweethearts and I want the best for them. Just man, I'm nervous lol. I think the most daunting thing is that she's 21 & an absolute knockout. I'm not big on looks, but I'm 34 and at best a 6 lol. I know I'm not in her league physically. Luckily, she finds someone being there for her and not to sound sexiest, but doing man stuff like checking her car fluids and not treating her like shit attractive.
Mentally I feel connected with her. She actually waits and listens rather then waiting to respond. It's so nice having a meaningful conversation over dinner again! Also, neither of them are addicted to their phones =)
Anywho, I just had to tell someone that I feel like the luckiest person on the planet =)
