That sucks man. Since you shouldn't have much financial burden as a single guy I'd say look at getting a less demanding job and then find some hobbies you really like. Volunteering is a pretty rewarding way to get outside your usual circle and maybe meet a chick who isn't bat-shite.

Life is what you make it bro...
Maybe go see a psychiatrist if you can't get yourself motivated to enjoy people/places/things around you.

He posted it at the same time. Clearly an accident.

Think this all the time. I try to find ways to unwind, destress, etc. Possibilities range from exercise to cigar/drink night. Sometimes it works, sometimes not as much.

All you do is work you gotta cut that shite out
Posted on 6/2/14 at 9:03 pm to Luke

I'm sorta where you are, but I gave up dating to make life easier. Being in a relationship is draining to me. I keep my going out to the weekends, get laid, but don't try to date. I don't always get laid, but I do enough to keep me happy.
That is just what I have discovered works for me at this point in my life. My career has been steadily progressing along with income. That is important to me for future security. Me enjoying myself and life is more important and I like to have fun above all else. However, I just find women when it comes to the relationship part to be draining and stressful. Plus I'm selffish and still enjoy strange tail.

It sounds like you're finally maturing enough and realizing Money isn't everything.
Find out what your passion is and pursue it.
If you don't know what it is, start up a few hobbies until you discover it.
Seriously, LSU leisure classes are a good place to start.
Go back to what made you happy as a child.
I recently returned to fishing, and just being outdoors is amazing therapy.

No, they're 100% nuts. It's just how much nuts can you take that's the question.
My suggestion to you though Luke would be to forget the nonsense and focus your attention on an interest or hobby that gives you purpose for living. Forget the nonsense for a little bit and get some renewed focus. Work is a MF for most of us and we all get in a rut. That's not unique to you. You just need to shift gears and shake it up.

Sounds like you could use a good vacation.

Slide on over to the Outdoor Board and get your mind right.
They can help you with a good fishing spot, or the game of your choice.
Never under appreciate what you still have. A day with your dad on the lake, or ice cream with mom are a luxury to some.
Life isn't measured in currency. It's measured in days. Live for you.

Therapy could help. I know a lot of people think it's just for "crazies" but it really may help you in this situation

Im at the point where a career change, a new center console, and hitting the water is looking more the goal

What do you do now?
What would you like to be doing?
Posted on 6/2/14 at 9:10 pm to Luke
but seriously, I'm almost in my mid 30s and I've been through the burnout phase not too long ago so I can relate. It was probably the second most difficult time in my life I still don't know how I fought/went through it. Time will cure it along with less work.

sorry about your wife man.... sounds like you need a new fun hobby.
