Frustration, I haz it

It's been a while, I know. I'm getting divorced, living with my mom and have a job, which I haven't started yet. There, you're caught up. Kids have been sick with colds for over a month now. I'm tired of melodramatic men and their excess amounts of baggage. It seems that the only way to date someone who is halfway normal is if you only date in your early twenties because after that, your choices go downhill. Men nowadays act more like women than ever before. They're needy, emotional and moody. If I wanted to deal with that, I would've become a lesbian a long time ago. Some days I just want to turn off my phone, disconnect the internet and hide. I've been spending a ton of time with men who are ONLY my friend and who are always just going to be my friend because at least that way I can enjoy myself without all that extra pressure and emotion. And of course with my female friends as well but having some kind of male company is nice. I think I just need a break in a major way and I have no idea how to get it.

How do you get a break? You just take it. Of course, you don't get a break from being a mom or having a job, or from dealing with the things you need to as you proceed with the divorce. However, when it comes to emotional entanglements, you can step away for a bit until you're ready to go there again. Nothing wrong with that, and it actually feels pretty good to do so. I've been there! Love, Beth

Ditto what Beth said. Divorce is really, really hard. So it sucks that sometimes it's the best thing for everyone involved. Hang in there. Lots of people are pulling for you, including me.

Sorry to hear that things did not work out, but in the long run, you will be better off. Hang in there, and know we are pulling for you.
