Author kindy14 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 So, let's see, I shouldn't be attracted to anyone "who is old enough to be my child." Well, so I should ONLY be with people over 32 years old. Yeah, whatever. Link to post Share on other sites
GirlStillStrong Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 This is an honest question; I'm not being a smartass. Have you been evaluated for bipolar disorder, aka manic depression? Because what you are describing you have done to your life is outrageous. I am not judging you, though I would not fault someone for doing so, but the fact that you are 50 years old and playing around with teenagers and very young twenty-somethings, especially under the guise of "helping someone" is telling. You are purposely seeking out vulnerable people and coming up with an avalanche of excuses for your very questionable behavior. Link to post Share on other sites
Author kindy14 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Not professionally diagnosed, but I have a lot of the symptoms of type II bi-polar, on 200mg zoloft at the moment. went to therapy today. she cautioned me again about getting involved with anyone at the moment. I told her I knew that, my young guy friend knows it. I told him when I met him I wasn't getting involved. of course, I meant physically, romantically. I didn't figuring on clicking with him, and bonding. we also talked about what to say to my wife. My wife joined 1/2 way through and I was finally able to start talking about what I'm going through, though not in great detail (suggestion from therapist, to much to soon.) I've agreed to not file until we've had a chance to talk through things more. I really don't see the point for me, but my therapist said my wife needs more time to adjust to the situation. still moving into an apartment tomorrow. he's still going to be my roommate. I still cant throw someone I care about onto the street with no means of support. I've always helped people in need. I plan to always help people in need, that's how we make the world a better place.

whatcanitellyou Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 First of all, the one decent thing you can do here is come clean with your wife, who you've lied to for your entire marriage. In some ways she's spent 23 years in a lie because of you so right that. Next, get yourself to a good therapist. Your involvement with so many teenagers and early 20 somethings suggests that you're trying to relive the youth you feel you missed, and there's no way that's going to end well for you. Just start being honest with everyone, minimize the damage you're causing, and work to live an honest, authentic life. That's how you can best help your son. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
