re: What is the biggest stress or burden you are carrying in your life?

I worry about finances. I worry about being in debt- which I am about 20K + School + Auto. Having to start really saving and long term planning.
Then I realize I have no family, no kids and no other responsibilities. And then I don't care so much.
If I am not married by 35, I'll pretty much never get married. I'll be too old to want to start a family and deal with the hassle. I will die alone.

Well she can't die from it so who cares, right?

Yep. When she called me yesterday and told me that she'd made an appointment to get him checked out I literally started sweating. I've tried to put it out of my mind and just tell myself I'm going overboard. I just want to go in there today and hear that doctor tell us this is perfectly normal and my son is as healthy as can be. Once I hear that I can exhale.

Pops has pancreatic cancer. Doing well in treatment and it was caught relatively early but hard to look past the stats on survival.

Two kids, 2 and 1, and they're sucking the life out of me.
Been out of work for 3 weeks now....

I really don't want to think about the word "cancer" right now.
Hope your pops pulls through though.

I'm a chef which means I work 12-14 hours a day. I just got married and have seen my wife for 5 hours since the wedding. Luckily she's in the industry and understands. I work for a dick who lives out of state and micromanages through emails. Nothing is ever right, customers are assholes looking for free meals, the front of the house is like the wild Wild West, and on top of all that you don't get paid shite but are expected to perform 110% all day everyday. I do enjoy my career though. Working 60 hours a week right now would seem like a vacation.

every single person in my family line has had cancer or a tumor of some form. All four grandparents, both parents. (mom just a small Ovarian tumor, Dad had Colon cancer and had a lot of colon removed)
My Aunt is fighting cancer right now.
I feel I will get it.
I also have self diagnosed sever hypertension. But I have a phobia of doctors.
I will never go to one unless in the ER.
They scare me.
So I just deal with it, knowing unless I change I will have a stroke.
Other than that, not many worries.
I'm happy, make decent money, take 3-4 vacations a year. Am not alone and have less than $6k in debt. (not counting mortgage)

I think we have a really good crop, but you can never really be sure until harvest. So, that's making me nervous. Also, the main one. I'm ready to settle down, get married, father a kid, go home, mix a drink, grill a steak for me and the wife, then have buzzed sex after we put the little one down, and all that good shite... I have no prospective female to fill this void at the moment.

Well let's see:
1. Finalizing a divorce and probably will be fricked up from the hell that she put me through
2. Have two small boys that I worry about
3. Trying to figure out how to afford everything
4. Worry about what kind of guy my ex might bring around my kids one day
5. I have been out of the dating game for a while, and I wasn't too smooth to begin with. I'm a good looking guy, but I have zero game.
Well, let's see:
1. My wife abandoned me and took our three young daughters days before our 10th anniversary(2012).
2. Got primary custody of my daughters, though not divorced.
3. Got involved with a woman who had four daughters all older than mine. Let her run the household budget, and she ran my credit down. Broke things off with her, but she's a level four clinger.
4. Wife and I are both unsure if we want to proceed with the divorce, or if we can reconcile.
5. In the meantime, I have been out of the dating game for a while, and I wasn't too smooth to begin with. I'm a good looking guy, but I have zero game.
ETA: Plus, I have a couple of medical conditions that make it to where I could die in my sleep at any point.

One of my biggest fears. I am so sorry you are having to go through that. I hope you have support of great family and friends to help you with your son and to provide comfort for you.
