Crap! My ex-wife came up to me and started to talk and guess what?? She didn't drink or at least very much. Part of a glass of wine once in a while.

We had a long term relationship before getting married, so we got used to staying home, having something of a married life. After that fell apart, besides being very depressed, I no longer enjoyed going out. I still don't and it's been about 8 years. My next relationship lasted just about 7 months. I was happy again, but the woman I was dating had a kid and was also used to staying home - she had been married as well. Two days after telling my mom how great things were, she ended things. Crushed me again. That was Jan '07. Now I have two things working against me. I don't like going out and I have a huge wall up.

Get off your ass, man!

Uhh, is that supposed to help?
