Hey guys, I could puke out a shit list of my life but I talk about it too much it seems already. I’ll keep it simple and everyone’s opinion is appreciated.

Coming up to the 1 year point of separation, I moved away from her and the kids because she wouldn’t leave this fucking shitty city yet I was the only income. To keep this shit short, did my best in my 100% commission job but wasn’t enough to keep anything together. Had to move back “home” and now I live in my parents basement. We walked away from the house and are on the hook for 24k & backed up condo fee’s. She lives with her sister and my 2 boys.

Daddy doesn’t deal with stress properly so substance abuse has resurfaced. I think I’m past the general point of her and I’ve gotten “lucky” here and there. So to the question:

I live in my parents basement at 38 years old, in the hole a shit ton, FINALLY employed as of this Monday, Dj as a side job (weddings and all 😒🤬) am I wasting my time being involved with OLD (online dating)? Can’t bring anyone to “my place”, just getting a steady income again, I think I know the answer but need an honest second or tenth look. Get matches on Hinge, finally some off Tinder but have been catfished a few times. Excited when I see a match, then spiral down thinking about how to even take them anywhere. Help, thoughts?
