Spent Memorial Day alone….

Feels nice to not have to work to please someone who has made themselves fundamentally unable to be pleased.

I did almost the exact same. Thought it would wreck me because I was in the house where we always threw a big memorial day cookout with family and friends. Instead, got on the motorcycle, found a good spot by the water to smoke a cigar, grilled a few burgers, chilled with the dogs, and got some video game time in. Some moments I felt off, but overall, I enjoyed doing what the hell I wanted to do. In the process of divorce now, but that feeling of freedom and a fresh start to care for me is starting to make this new chapter more appealing.

Congrats OP. Men crave peace, quiet, tranquility. Women seek to erase that state of mind. I am very happy for your peaceful day. I envy and admire you x10. Great day.

Cleaned my rims, changed out my broken upstairs toilet seat, vacuumed, laundry, talked to my daughter on the phone, tried a new corn on the cover recipe. Was calm and cool. Back to work tomorrow.

Sounds like you don’t have kids, it is harder on holidays when the kids are with the ex. It’s my first weekend away and my ex instead of spending time with our kids she went out back to back nights…I understand it’s her life now but when I have the kids I never leave my kids alone …when I have my kids I make them my priority. Why become parents if you can’t grow up to be real parents.

I ended up sitting with my best friend for a few hours drinking some beer by a fire relaxing. While my kid was texting me her mom took her to the beach with her bf. It was windy and traffic for hours coming home.

My day sounded way better lol

hot Burgers, cold Beers, loyal Dog

That’s the Trifecta right there

And if you just add cars and motorbikes, and a fire or fire pit later on, golden!

Misleading title - you had doggo!

Lovely!!

Enjoy my brother! It’s taking me time to get used to being single again, but I am enjoying the peace, I am enjoying eating the meals that I want when I want and spending my money the way that I want and not having to answer to anybody, I’m not all that big into going out and doing the dating game, I did that for a year and a half and it sucked! But admittedly, I would like to have a partner in my life, I suppose I’m just waiting for that hunger to get a little bit stronger, right now me, my dog and my backyard barbecue is just working out fine for me, be strong!

I had my kids Monday. Took them to a science museum, on our own schedule, doing whatever we wanted. Was wonderful.

Saturday, I hosted a cookout for my employees, and on Sunday, I went golfing by myself. It was an amazing weekend.

SeminoleTom · 2023-05-30T11:58:57+00:00

Great to read this I’m looking forward to peace as well.

I joined a yacht club after learning that there was one nearby. I grew up sailing but gave it up as my ex didn’t fit in with that crowd and convinced me I didn’t either. I took my kids swimming and they’re excited to learn to sail. I sometimes what she thinks about all of that, but not much, cause it doesn’t matter.

TheRealBlackDoge · 2023-05-30T16:15:44+00:00

Sounds like a good day to me

Long-Review-1861 · 2023-05-30T18:14:38+00:00

That honestly seems like the dream life

Adventurous_Wrap_343 · 2023-05-31T01:43:48+00:00

Just me an my daughter. No depressing in laws with their piercing looks thinking im the problem (they just realized it’s her), no retarded wife. No fights no arguments no nasty tones. Sheer bliss.

Tobeyx97 · 2023-05-31T00:30:44+00:00

She probably doesn’t miss u either 🥴

Tobeyx97 · 2023-05-31T01:15:46+00:00

😂💃🏿💃🏿

Mine was a bit different.

STBX moved out to an apartment with a pool.

Asked her if she wanted to go to the pool with our son who I bought a swimsuit for. "I'd rather do nothing"

I end up buying a kiddie pool, she texts me she misses the baby. I ask if she wants to come out. "Yes"

She doesn't show up

Just an unreliable pain in the neck
