re: What’s the toughest decision you’ve ever had to make in your life?

There’s two decisions in my life that stick out to me, both of which I fully and completely regret:
1. Not two weeks before we were to be married, my fiancé confessed that she had been talking with an ex-bf behind my back for months. She claimed that she was going to stop and that she avoided telling me sooner to protect me. She thought that if I had found out near the start, I would have gone off the rails and flunked my law school finals 1L year, and used that as her rationale for not telling me. I had already given up the lease on my house and couldn’t get it back (we were moving into a rent house owned by her parents), and I still had 2 years of paw school left and was running low on my pre-law school money, and hadn’t found a paying part time law job. For some stupid reasons (many of which were financial), I tried to forgive her and we went forward with the marriage which ended, shocked face, in divorce within 3 years due, in large part, to her cheating.
2. After taking the bar exam but before getting the results, I was offered a job at the Grand Canyon working for the company that maintains the lodges up there. The pay wasn’t great, but housing and meals would all be covered. For some stupid arse reason, I couldn’t pull the trigger, and turned down the job.
So, what I am saying is, I make bad emotional decisions, I am deeply depressed at the results of those decisions, and I hate my life.

The decision to go into business for myself and give up a regular paycheck. At first, it was fantastic but a year later, I'm having lots of ups and downs. Some months I'm on top of the world then other months I barely break even. Sticking it out with my eye on the long term, though.
Ive contemplated this for a couple of years. Any regerts?

Dude. You just told a story about pissing in a bottle on a Zoom call and didn't know if you showed your dick.
I would say small business and tough decisions aren't your forte.

Deciding to off myself or not. It’s a daily struggle

This made me chuckle....likely because I take it you're actually a pretty well adjusted dude. Self-deprecating humor is the best humor.
If I'm wrong, hope things turn around for you.

Damn. Like talking or messing around?
I don't blame you for not dropping her due to the timing but she's a real C U N T for hiding it that long and trapping you

To my knowledge, she was just emotionally talking before we got married, but I don’t know or care if that’s accurate.
She was a night owl and I had a lot of early morning classes. While I had worked in the plants, she would often be going to bed when I was getting up for work. She liked to talk on the phone and emotionally unpack her day to help her fall asleep. I liked to have these kinds of conversations on the way home from work or while eating dinner. She would want me to call her when I went to bed, but would then make me wait, and then would talk for hours and hours and fuss at me if I fell asleep on the phone or hung up on her when she fell asleep on the phone (which she did frequently). She would call me often in the middle of the night in tears because she was having a break dow over whatever project she was working on, and I’d be talking to her until it was literally time to go to work.
This wrecked my sleep patterns, to the point that I was coming into work/school on like 2-4 hrs of sleep/night. So, I started rationing her nightly phone tome with me so I could get enough sleep to function. It was a rough adjustment for her, at first, but after the first few months of law school, she seemed to get the swing of it and I was sleeping more. I thought things were going well, but she had just started having those conversations with someone else instead of me.

None so far. The flexibility to work almost whenever I want, have an unlimited income opportunity, while being able to help out with the kids during the day is invaluable. I just need to get to the point where I can start having a more steady and reliable income than I have now. As is the case with most self-employed people, it just takes a while to get there.
