An Emotional Life- Divorce, Emotions, and Past Relationships- A Mini Vent By: Ethan

(Personally I tend to do this with most of the Chit Chat forum not just Ethan related threads).

I would understand the concern if Ethan was hijacking other threads and talking about himself (and maybe he has done this in the past I don't know) but really he can talk about himself to his hearts content in a thread clearly marked so and those who care can contribute and those that don't can ignore it.

So, I'm finished skimming, going back to reading the thread about Paper Doll now...

I don't know. I honestly don't. And I didn't for several days, until I noticed there were a bunch of replies & I came to see what was being discussed. My own fault, for sure.

You constantly profess that you have changed, but absolutely nothing has changed. Why, in the very first post of this thread you said this:

and you then proceeded to ramble on and on and ON about some girl you liked in HIGH SCHOOL but never had the balls to ask out or even express your feelings to until it was too late.

And you wonder why people got annoyed as hell and started mocking you, criticizing you, etc.?

Clearly you either don't actually realize just how annoying you truly are or you take glee in irritating the hell out of people. If the latter is the case, just own it already. If the former is the case, then you are undoubtedly socially "disabled" and beyond hope. Either way, please, please stop posting this crap.

God damn, Ethan... how old are you now?

Want to talk emotional life? Find your mother screwing another man - not your father. While they're still married.

Give birth to a 2 lb. baby. Go home without her. Visit her in the hospital everyday for 2 months.

Survive the suicide of your husband at 25 years old. Then explain it to the 4 year old.

IDK, maybe I'm a hardened bitch, but seriously? Emotional life? Then you go on and on about some girl? I know I don't have it that bad. I'm not even complaining. But there is my "emotional life" summed up in 50 words or less. I guess my point is that you're a grown man. Suck it up and move on, or get some professional therapy.

Not a hardened bitch. A realist. Also, well said.

I read this whole thread. Because I'm a masochist. And I figured something interesting was going on due to all the replies. D'oh.

Ethan, everyone goes through hard times. Some, like Maria, go through harder times than others. And maybe some, like Maria, have more tools in the mental toolbox to handle hard times than others do - whether they have tools already due to natural tendencies or they figured out how to build new tools to suit - but you can either get some new tools so you can work with what you've got or you can spend the rest of your life unhappy and Kermit-flailing to strangers on the Ledge.

If you need professional therapy, I can provide invaluable life advice for a mere 5 cents. Like Lucy.

Actually, I don't even need the nickel. This one's a freebie, and I reproduce it in its entirety as it was told to me many moons ago when bad stuff was happening with me (okay, actually, I was in labor with my son, and a friend was being sarcastic, but nevermind). I use it daily, and it's proven to be completely applicable in nearly all life situations. Here you go:

Walk it off, flower.

It's a small phrase, but I find it instantly puts things in perspective.

Good luck with all that, dude.

Thanks guys.

Not trying to gang up, be a bitch (that's rarely seen) or seem insensitive. However, I have a problem with people who tend to be "needy" for attention.
