The entire exchange between Raygun and Echi is hilarious, but this

echinopsis posted:

mate

wanna come around and say that to my face

is probably the funniest part.

So, Echi, have you learned anything from this experience, or at least from this thread? Like, do you ever read the first few pages of your posts and cringe? Do the warnings you laughed off in the beginning sting?

Edit: Lol, I didn't see that last post on the previous page.

of fuckin course. despite what you might think i'm not a moron. sometimes things take a bit of time to sink in but it all forms part of the picture of who I am

and part of the reason I often avoid this thread is because the picture it paints isnt the picture I want to think about myself. if it were up to you guys I'd believe that I was a worthless cuck of a human being. I know that I am more than that, so I have to push forward despite how hilarious-in-failure my life us to all of you

That's right, I forgot that children NEVER act out, and that upsetting/traumatic events don't have a negative effect on people until they're at least 18.

Someone suggested earlier that you pursue therapy individually. That's a good idea and you should do it. There's more going on here than your marriage falling apart because of bad decisions, your ability to be a functional human being that respects himself is essential to a stable life. That ability is really out of whack for you but it doesn't have to be.

You do know that MY parents had a dysfunctional marriage, too, right? And that my OWN experience is that upsetting childhood events can result in upset children? And that said upset children DID, in fact, act out as a result? And that maybe your experience is not universal? Or that maybe if you had received attention and care as a child while your parents got a divorce, you maybe wouldn't have the same issues you now have as an adult?

You're welcome, stupid.

echi, you know that weird kid at school who like no one really liked? the one who would eat worms because it made other people give him attention, but they were only giving him attention because like ‘lol wtf who eats worms, let’s see if we can make him eat more worms’?

i’m not going to spell out the rest of the analogy, but i’m hopeful that you can piece it together.

I'm curious here, what your Dad's addiction looks like?

What do you want to know? He looks like a man in his late 60s who could drop dead at any minute. He has pretty much stopped taking care of himself, it's a miracle he is still alive. But opioid addiction for over 20 years will do that.

I don't know if he is still using, he was on daily methadone when I was last living with him. Or at lest that's what he said. I think he has moved to weed now, but I really don't know. I don't see him that often, I emotionally left him a long time ago.

But yeah I've been in your kids shoes, were we went somewhere and Dad either wasn't invited or didn't want to come. He just stayed at home and used in peace.

It sucked and you should get help.

Do you want to bicker about it here or do you want to go the gen thread where we can scream at each other like adults?


If the kids were here I would apologize to them for the assumption they were batting average but as it is I'll apologize to Echi for assuming that. Sorry Echi, I figured your kids would be holding it together.

Why are you so insistent that children can't be impacted by their parents' divorce while they're still children? Like you've never heard of kids doing worse in school or getting into fights or feeling neglected during upsetting events.

Also, Echi is still living at home; he's not even separated yet, let alone actually moving out of the house and being gone. Nothing has changed yet for the kids. It's a little soon to assume they're going to do just swimmingly through a process that hasn't even started yet.

What the hell are you talking about? I genuinely apologized for making a bad assumption, especially since the OP's home life is rather fraught.

No you didn't lol, you doubled down with that "batting average" thing. You don't seem to understand that a sample size of yourself isn't something you can consider normal or average. Where do you see an apology in the post where you accuse Bobbie of bickering with you?

"Batting average" is a colloquialism I'm using as a way to say they may not be doing well even if they're not obviously badly. Average isn't bad but it isn't good either, the point is that I don't know since the OP is in another country and is respecting the kids' right to privacy by not broadcasting their mental health details across the internet.

I apologized with this: "Sorry Echi, I figured your kids would be holding it together." Because when I made the first post I figured that they would be doing alright but on reflection on the reactions to it, yeah there's no guarantee of that.

Y'all need to chill.

there are some healthy things that come out of this, some couple have a lot of jealousy in their relationship with one or the other even having friends of the opposite gender but now we are pretty casual about it because the fundamental rule about openness applies across the board. and it's cool to know I could go out drinking and hookup in a bar if I felt the need. there is a large part about encouraging the other to experience all those fun new experiences because some of these experiences really only come from being with new people and the exciting times in new relationships. I want my wife to experience that! she wants me to. and then we have sexy with each other and we have new tricks etc too

well to make it less exciting but more real you need to understand that this open marriage isn't a free for all. emotions and poo poo are involved. how will my wife feel when I meet a girl off tinder at a bar and go back to her place.. well we just don't know but let's give it a shot. and what happens if during this event my wife doesn't feel good by herself at home knowing I'm out chatting up a 21 year old looking to take her back to her place.. well we made it clear she could call and say "this isn't working" and it sounds like a bummer maybe but it's how it has to go


and so I met her. she was into gaming. she had the biggest boobies. she had a couple of drinks and so we went back to her place but her place was a dump! her cat lived in her room. but she wanted a piece of me so I took
off clothes and we tried to have sex. as I have learned now, getting it up when you're not into condoms or used to new people isn't always so easy.. and so at first there was only a poor attempt at sex. then sex actually happened. but then my wife called not feeling that flash about it all so I went home
and this is where we learned that me going off with random young girls is not the key to a happy marriage lol

guess this mystery was solved
