C’mon BG, I know you have a sad story to tell. I can see it in your avatar.

Yeah, his life story.

Because you have accomplished so much right? You can’t even accomplish good back development. And less than 5 years ago you were a skinny teenager prancing around here in your underwear and now you know everything, as if you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. LOL

I’m not going to turn this thread into a pissing match, but for 21, yeah, I’ve accomplished quite a bit. Nor am I insecure enough to go through a list to ‘prove’ to you for your approval.
I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say that people would like to see you leave this thread, though.

Sorry everyone. Carry on.[/quote]
You haven’t done shit. As for leaving the thread, I wouldn’t dream of sitting around in a tea group, boo hooing about sad stories and sharing with strangers while measuring my ever increasing estrogen count. I didn’t know T-Nation was a support group for sensitive men. There was a time when MEN knew to keep things PRIVATE and how to maintain some god damn dignity - not come onto a public forum and spill your household and personal tales of woe. But who am I talking to? You’re the Justin Timberlake generation, wtf would you know about being a man.

Interesting timing. I tend not to get too personal on these boards…but I need to vent with my current situation. Anyways,wife had a miscarriage. Me and her both were ultra-excited about getting to see the baby about 3 weeks ago…then were devastated when they could no longer find heartbeat and it had stopped growing.
I’ve dealt with it pretty well…the wife is off and on. Really concerned about her and doing my best to keep her spirits up or let her deal in her own way. It really bums the hell out of me when I catch her crying and sobbing just when I think she’s moved on…I think I’ve finally accepted that it will take her a while. [/quote]
Boss man, I can’t even imagine that. I’m sorry mate. Sadly there’s not much you can do as a man, although you can listen. In my experience, listening is really all you can do. It sucks but when you someone else talk about things the power they hold over that person–or at least some of the anger/pain/whatever–evaporates a little bit. I’ve never been in that situation personally, but some equally traumatic things have happened to very close friends of mine, and that’s really all I had. It sucked not being able to actually help them or give them advice, but just giving them the time and the ears helped.
I was the oldest of the kids. Except that my mom had a miscarriage a few years before I was born. She never talked about it much, but at one point we had a dialogue about it, and it took her years to heal before they tried for me.
x2 on the not getting too personal here. But on the other hand, anonymity gives you an ability to vent you might lack elsewhere. And as long as we keep the riff raff at bay, there are a lot of quality people here with experience and advice.

My wife is pregnant and I think we’re going to end up divorced in the next year or so by my choice. I already have an 8 year old to another woman, now this will potentially be 2 kids from broken homes. Quite a track record I have going.
Of course there is always the possibility that this kid is really Iron Dwarf’s so maybe I’ll get off lucky this time.
I’ve been on crutches for the last 5 months.
My grandma just got relinquished to hospice care so she should be dead in a few days. They are basically just watching her starve to death because she lost the ability to swallow. They also have her off fluids because her kidneys are failing.
I was going to type an angry rant about the religious right and Dr. assisted suicide, but I’ll save it.[/quote]
Rants are fine man. I wanted to start the thread not for myself but for anybody who was just pissed or suffering or whatever. Just to let shit out that isn’t so…ancillary…as curls in the squat rack or some such bullshit.
Rule is no arguing and no dick waving. This isn’t PWI. So you shouldn’t have any problems with ppl debating that (i hope). So, let loose man.
I was in a car accident on April 1st. My car was hit on the front passenger side by a big truck trying to do a left hand turn. I was going 50mph. I am recovering, and thankfully the other driver (18yr old girl on a cell phone) was not hurt. I have an ac separation of the right shoulder, a pinched nerve, bruised ribs, both knees keep swelling and having to have the fluid drawn off and the permanent damage.
I have some burn marks on my chin down to the middle of my neck from the air bag and a burn mark on the side of my nose. My right breast suffered traumatic tissue damage and looks like a shrunken squeezed dinner roll. I have a hard time squeezing my right hand and I seem to have short term memory loss and a hard time getting the right word sometime. I have been told that luckily everything will be fixed or healed in time. I just get really bummed about it though sometimes.
Work has been great and everything should be covered so that is all good. It was not good when I didn’t have the strength to help my mom when she was running out of breath and all I could do was go and get her oxygen. Things just take time and I am better now then I was last week.[/quote]
I’m really glad you’re ok!
Rehab is one of the most agonizingly slow things ever. It definitely weighs on you. It’s like an exercise in patience really–I used to consider myself a patient man until some things happened and then it was like I could see the light at the end of the tunnel…but it never got closer.
Takes a psychological beating, for sure. But it’s encouraging to me that you are going to make a full recovery.
Aragorn: Was this break up unexpected, or was there ongoing issues and she decided to end it?
[/quote]
Completely and utterly unexpected. No issues, we interacted great. Her best friend, who somehow loves me, what totally shocked when I told her in passing. She literally couldn’t believe it.
I learned about something that she was scared to tell me, and while that has a direct bearing on why we broke up, it does not bear telling in an open forum. Suffice to say, learning it doesn’t change my opinion of her on iota, and she needs healing. Lots of it.

Aragorn, consoling others while your prob struggling to breathe is impressive bro. If you still love this girl all I have to say is it ain’t over til its over and thats gospel. Good Luck Man!

Thank you Aragon. I contactected poor John Rohnmaniello before I was ready to get things going and luckily he had a level head to keep me on track.
My heart breaks for you all. It’s God-awful knowing your only choice is to live with the pain until you no longer feel it so I’m praying you all get extra strength and don’t have to suffer for long. Things stink now but life WILL get better.
Bodyguard why don’t you go fuck your couch? Seriously bro where do you get off on being such a chode?
What’s the point of talking E-shit to men who could fold you in half? I personally don’t understand it, but you might…MIGHT be impressing somebody with your dickishness iono.
People tell me their sob stories all the time. A lot of the time they are people I have just recently met. Am I a faggot ass bitch to them? No, I have the patience to treat them decently and im less than half your age. You fuck

It’s already gotten way too personal. And some people here that have posted are not all that anonymous with pictures of their likeness in their pages. Yes, there are many quality people here but there are far more jerk offs. Moreover, does the wife, girlfriend, family member, etc. at the center of these confessions know and approve of the post? Does the wife that suffered a miscarriage know about the post? Approve?
Like I said, some things are meant to remain private and certainly not disclosed on an internet forum like this. I wasn’t trying to demean anyone or their story and I did not comment on any particular story. If my opinion about privacy and dignity is so upsetting to some, you’re too damn sensitive and I don’t really care. Final word.
Now the kids here are free to talk shit, post empty talk about “folding me in half” or “stomping” me lmfao, and post silly pictures - yeah, “quality people”. Have at it. But I never came here and betrayed the privacy and sanctity of my home or family.
