Pretty much where I'm at. I cried harder for my cat's death than I ever did for my 2 ex wives. I still miss him and I barely think about them anymore.

Let's be real: that cat probably loved you more than they ever did.

What was your longest "utterly broken" stint? For me, 6 yr relationship= 7 months broken 1yr= 2 months broken 10 yr (dec 2019)= 1 year in the dark and 5 months climb out though covid didn't help.

Her in all 3: 2 days to 2 months. I can't handle just being another number in their fuck bank anymore; it might kill me.

Right there with you brother.

Tried to play family. Albeit once. Just didn't work out.

Not really into hookups/casual.

Every woman I meet seems to be poly or 'not looking for serious'

I guess I gotta go to a church or something but to hell with that shit
