Im 32, been married since I was 20....Typical Military get married early to get off the base. High school couple, got together just about my 17th Birthday.

Pretty much hate her at this point and have no desire to see or talk to her ever. My sex drive is non existent. We have had sex 2 times in the 8 months since we had a baby, and maybe 4 total times in the last 18 months.

Im pretty much trapped with a new born. I dont know why we decided to get pregnant. But its gone down hill since then badly.

I now drink 4-5 nights a week, HEAVILY. I sleep the rest. I drank a whole bottle of bourbon yesterday during football. Depression is real. Ive been drinking heavily like thius for about 7-8 years. If I have 1 beer I have 12. Its normal for me to have 12-18 drinks on most nights that I drink.

I cant even fathom trying to date. And the idea of sleeping with someone else is too much to handle. Its scary. I have no confidence. I slept with 2 people in high school before my wife. All I know is her. Im the only one shes ever been with. I dont know what is more intimidating in my neurotic brain.

How do you even "make a move"?
Im pretty sure I am horrible sexually. The fear of poor performance is crippling.
In my head all I would think about is a new womans other partners and how I match up.
Just the confidence to do anything sexually would be too much. I imagien myself as a sexual Asian Tourist quietly apologizing and bowing as I fiddle around a nude body.

I really need to get healthy, address my alcoholism, but I doubt Ill fix either, and no idea how ill ever survive the rest of my life trapped in a marriage with no window of freedom because of my own mental blocks.

Im a fucking Tumblr case. I fantasize about my wife being killed in an accident or School shooting most days when I drive home. That would be much easier. But now with the kid I dont know if that is as appealing.

There is way more to that than this thread can take :eek:

You should probably address the alcoholism before anything else.

Out of curiosity. Did you change your forum name when you came over here?

Wow.

Not going to sugarcoat it so I'll just say you're in a pretty bad position. The newborn is the real anchor here and makes the needed solution very difficult, but considering you're at the point of major depression, alcoholism, and murder fantasies-- even the shitty difficult solution is a good one..

Get a divorce. Double sucks with a newborn but you're definitely done.
Exercise and proper eating. It's a lot easier when you're not living with someone you despise
Take a trip to Asia or Eastern Europe and get laid with abandon to address your confidence and performance worries

Come back after those 3 and we'll determine next steps

Yeah get psych help if you are that depressed. And quit the booze cold turkey. You are going to have to make some hard choices and its best to have a clear head when you do so.

Yep. I would suggest walking into a hospital right now. What's her deal? Do you have any insight into how she feels?

Mrs. G, I didn't realize Gravy had died. I'm really sorry to hear that. What happened?

  • Stop drinking
  • You're not as bad in bed as you think you are
  • The woman's other partners don't matter, she's with you right now, you need to get over this thought
  • Therapy would not be a horrible idea

If you clean yourself up from the alcohol she might actually be a different person, you will also.

Don't go straight to divorce, go straight to rehab and then reevaluate your life after that.

^^^^^^^^ FUCKING DO THIS. Like extremely soon. As soon as you can get an appointment.

There's way more going on there than a message board is going to solve, though putting it out there is a good first step. See a counselor (by yourself at first) and start addressing things. NOW.

1. Stop drinking. Yesterday. This amplifies all the other misery 1000 fold.
2. Once you dry out take a long hard look at your wife and yourself and decide whether to keep trying or not.
3. If not, start prepping for divorce. Don't stay for the kids or any of that shit. You'll just be teaching them that it's normal for adults to live in misery.
4. If so, start counseling now. You need it above all, and it may help your marriage.
5. No matter what else you do start a workout regimen and start eating right. You don't have to go full military again, but even 15 minutes a day will get you in non=blob shape in a few months.

Nope same name. So far I have avoided shit posting and am not super active outside of a few threads.

Yeah, I've recently been hitting lows on the drinking front and kind of just made the call this morning that it's far worse than I used to admit. I have avoided drunk driving and drinking at work and blackouts and some of the really obvious alcoholic stuff. I used to just say "oh, I'm just having fun drinks and playing xbox" and convince myself I'm a casual drinker that drinks a lot. But this is out of control for a normal person,

Does she hate you too

She's definitely not happy but she doesn't hate me, and I think she doesn't realize how bad it is. I definitely need to address this with her.

  • Stop drinking
  • You're not as bad in bed as you think you are
  • The woman's other partners don't matter, she's with you right now, you need to get over this thought
  • Therapy would not be a horrible idea

We did a couple counseled a few years back to address some of my issues with her...mainly financial. I have supported us out entire marriage. She's a teacher at a private school and subbed a bunch of years. She's never made over 21000 in a single year. I'm fronting our life completely on my hard work and salary and it led to some major resentment issues. We worked through some of them. I've avoided going again because I feel like there is nothing to salvage, but maybe some one on one would be a good start.

If you clean yourself up from the alcohol she might actually be a different person, you will also.

Don't go straight to divorce, go straight to rehab and then reevaluate your life after that.

If anything, I hope my post puts someone else's life into perspective, at least you don't have my brand of nuts going on.

This is fair though. It is a two way street, and maybe fixing me will fix us, but I just don't even know if I have the motivation to.

Don't know about the other people but I meant therapy for yourself regarding your self confidence, alcoholism, and self loathing issues. Couple's therapy maybe but who knows, until you fix yourself any relationship will be a disaster.

I was half kidding to myself that I would make a post about how fucked I am, but it definitely ended up getting a bit more real than I meant to. And I didn't mean to open up a rerolled psychiatric practice for you guys to fix.

Sometimes it's good to get it out however you can. I am currently sitting in my car eating a large baconator combo to avoid going home for dinner. I have a long way to go.

Thanks for all the replies and advice.

Maybe I can get my wife to dress up like Cammy and get this shit back on the rails.

Get a hot asian woman to dress up as Chun-Li and get your wife in for a 3some if you're going for the fantasy...
