I could really go for someone to just hold me. Is that silly?




No, man. It isn't silly at all. I can't tell you how many times I've felt like that myself. It wouldn't even matter who it was. Just the comfort would make all of my troubles disappear for a little while. It shows that you're human and a sensitive guy, which isn't a negative thing.

You're not alone, buddy. Try to keep your head up and your shoulders back and let her see the bad mutha you are.

I think your personal could have been written by me. I'd love to stick the first three or four items in XW's face. I wasn't as good about doing the other stuff you mentioned, but I would like to in the future, w/ XW or someone who deserves it. I think I would have been better at doing the little things had XW been a little better at speaking my love language or whatever, but she was never one to take blame or admit she was wrong. I was always the one who was inadequate or needed to change. I guess it wears on a guy never being good enough. No excuses though. I dropped the ball and I'm trying to improve myself for myself.

Hang in there. I know what you're going through.
