It’s been a year, and me (39M) and my wife (36F) have been intimate twice, separated by nearly six months apart. I know our relationship has had issues, with financial stress and financial infidelity (5+ years ago, I withheld how bad our cash flow was, using debt to maintain our lifestyle). She has been stressed at her job of 3 years, and now she’s gotten a job that strictly is 8:30-5:30, with no carryover into her personal life. She can’t let go of the pain I caused her. She feels she hasn’t had time to do so since she started working 5 years ago to help gain a foothold on finances. This carries over to the bedroom. She has always had a lower libido, but it’s straight turned off. I don’t know how someone in a relationship can possibly handle that long (6+ months) without masturbation or intercourse. At this point, it’s a huge pain point for us. She knows I desperately want to connect physically, but it feels like the path to her healing is a chicken or the egg dynamic. However, sex is unilaterally off if I’m trying to initiate. Since I’m batting well below the Mendoza line, I told her I’ve had enough and I’m not pursuing her in bed going forward. The straw was my birthday. I spent the entire day trying to take her on a date and be romantic…not even a kiss or hug. I just feel like I’m dying inside. I’m literally giving it six months or I’m filing for divorce. That will be her birthday present if we can’t find common ground. I would rather live in a shack, mired in debt and alone, seeing our four kids every now and then, then be this fucking miserable every night. How the fuck do people cope with this?

Keep going, I’m listening.
All my comment was saying is that this is a toothless judgment.

The game was doomed to be a speculator market thanks to the Reserved List.
The game rose during the sports card boom, and was the lead-in to sports card bro boom during the pandemic.
Once finance sites popped up, everyone became an investor.

They’ll just…raise prices to offset the judgment.

I’ve played enough Advance Wars to feel something is amiss.

Ehh, better than last week.
Final appt coming up in two weeks with my therapist of 3ish years. Still nervous about potential waiting lists.
Got soft diagnosed with BPD today. Explains a lot of my ups and downs on a short term basis.

I’ll always be partial to 3.
I played P:Revelations a few years before playing P3, and loved the darkness of it, but P3 gave the series an aesthetic coat of paint.
I burnt myself out playing over 300 hours on P3:FES, so I haven’t really played much of P4.
Persona 5, was amazing in its own way, dripping with absolute style and substance.
Haven’t been able to legally play P2:IS or P2:EP, so I can’t really evaluate them.
P3 > P5 > P4 > P2* > P1
*Persona Revelations had moments, but was dogshit compared to the rest. I’ll wager $ P2 is better.

Meds are decent. Lamotrigine is the worst pill to take in existence though.
Couldn’t they just put a minuscule coating on it?

Our next session (next week), she will provide info and referrals to other providers.
I’m nervous that I’ll have to go on a wait list again. Took me three months to get back on her schedule when I changed insurances.
She’s been my therapist for nearly three years.

Not great.
I’m losing my therapist in two weeks, as she’s leaving my provider.
I don’t have a lot going well on my end. Wife and I had a massive argument that reset any progress we’ve made in the last 6-12 months.

And that’s one of the reasons that brought me here.
Maybe it was the permanent banning for creating another account trying to talk to a mod that had banned me in a way I thought was harsh, and muted me before I could even speak.
Regardless, Reddit is starting to remind me of when Digg took a massive shit like 15 years ago. And saying that makes me feel old.
As long as I’m not dealing with AI chatbots spamming these communities, I think I’ll like it here.
