Can you drink milk shakes? What type of food did you like in the past? What are your favorites? What about ice cream cones? Just eat something. Anything! Just force it down. You don't have to want to eat it. What about those supplement shakes like my dad was on when he had cancer? Not just ice cream, but a lot of other things that are good for you too.
I lived for my family too. I went to work and I came home. The last few years, that was about it. Maybe that was part of the problem, but my work got crazy stressful.
I used to play some golf and I am still doing that a little. I used to fish and hunt, but my buddy moved to Atlanta and my dog is too old to hunt. Plus, I am getting older too. I would rather have stayed in bed with my W than sitting in a freezing duck blind. So that is what I did.
I never really looked at other women either, while my W's brother would come to our house and talk about porn, say look at that hot chick on TV, she has great boobs, talk about going to strip bars and all kinds of other stuff in front of both of our W's. It made me sick. I never talked like that.
There have to be lots of HOT girls on campus, but they are probably all too young anyway? Not sure how old you are, but just looking can be fun too. Now I always look to see if a woman has a wedding ring on! Never noticed or cared before, but things change. Any hot professors?
I understand how hard this is. I was with my W for 23yrs. Since I was 20yrs old and in college. I never even had another serious relationship. This is it for me.
Some of the ladies at work are telling me that I need to go out and sew my wild oats, just make sure you protect yourself.
C'mon dude, you are obviously a smart guy, with a great career. You will be dedicated to a new W. Who wouldn't want that? Plus, since you have learned so much about yourself, you can make it a better relationship. Maybe even find someone who is MORE compatible with you. That is what I am hoping for for myself. It will happen, just not overnight.
Drop the rope, grab a beer and a cigar and start to enjoy life again. Hang out at the golf course a bit. Do you like giving lessons? Maybe set up a few if you haven't done it in a while. You are a GOLF PRO! How many people can say that? I suck, but I still play. Maybe you can give me a lesson!
Time to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and get on with your life, which is just that. YOUR LIFE! Find a way to make it FUN again.
Are you off for the summer? Anywhere you've always wanted to go? Have a brother or sister to do something with? Are there any interim summer classes you can teach? Would that help?
This does suck, but only if you let it. Time to move on.
