Beef! I hopes ya get well soon, hoss! I hope you don't mind if I butt in for a few. I need all of your help in processing some emotion.

I have a slight personal matter that I'm going through. Any advice, or guidance, or reality check would be greatly appreciated. You all have powerful insight and/or perspective.

So... man... it's tough to admit, but the 13 year relationship I've been in isn't the same. It's gotten to a point where I hardly feel like I can have a conversation with my lady. Not a meaningful one, anyway. Unfortunately, we have drifted apart. I wasn't kidding when I said "nut and bolt" when referring to our sex life. Like, "The timer is going off again. Push the reset button. Thanks, babe.". Carnal, ya know?

Moving on. So, her future plans don't align with mine. We are as close to a breakup as we have ever been. She wouldn't admit that since she tends to avoid or turn a blind eye to that type of harsh reality. There is a ton more to the story but that is the bare bones of it. This part anyway. The "I'm not happy in my relationship" part.

Intermission/disclaimer: I never have, nor would I ever, cheat on someone. In my opinion, that is one of the most disrespectful things a person can do to someone who trusts them. That brings a whole shitstorm of bad juju.

This is where things start to become complicated/conflicting/difficult for me. Most of you regular shroom buds know that I started a new job a while back. I worked with my lady at my old job. Most of our time together, we worked for the same company. There were a few years I went to a different company but I came back. Anyway, I self-installed blinders and a muzzle when it came to attractive co-workers because I didn't want the trouble. It became common place in my mind to avoid eye contact or conversation with other pretty ladies at work. It was a big place so it was easy to circumvent those encounters. I knew I had folks watching me or how I spoke to other females. MFs loved to start shit around there, so I gave 'em nothing to talk about.

Now, I'm at the new job. I'm starting to relax. Still having some trouble shaking those old hang ups, but I'm trying. There are several charismatic ladies around. I'm self-conscious as can be so I feel like I'm coming off like a weirdo that doesn't know how to talk to women. It's not like I can explain my hang up to them. Fuckin' weird feeling, man. Even more troublesome is that ladies find me attractive. I'm no model but I'm tall, slender, and I take care of myself. I think my height is doing the heavy lifting on first impressions, but I'm not really sure.

Ok. I'm trying to get to the point. I have a lot of shit floating through my head over this. "Conflicted" is putting it lightly.

So... There is a girl who is obviously interested in me. She tries to put herself in my path so I notice her. I actually met her on my first week over a tray of catered sandwiches. I was on my 2nd day, asking her where to find a plate and silverware in the (new to me) breakroom. She's super nice. I've only spoken to her a few times. Small talk, but I can see that she's delighted that I'm talking to her. Dude, I'm delighted to talk to her. She's a sweetheart. I can see it from across the room. Just a warm soul brimming with kindness.

The hard part is that I'm crushing a bit. I feel like a kid with a schoolyard crush and I know it. Now, I'm starting to withdraw and avoid eye contact because I know that feeling like I'm going to get in trouble over it. I'd love to talk to her and get to know her more since she's so friendly... and cute (damn it).

I dunno. Another part of me is worried what could happen. "Insert scenario here". Dude. I'm not sad or anything. I kinda feel good, honestly. Flirting. Ha! An old familiar feeling.

I really wanted this to come out more organized, but I'm not sure where to start.

Gil, l have my own issues and I’m batting .000 in two marriages so take this with a grain of salt. I always get out before I get in to something else and I have always ended up feeling good about being decent, giving it my all, and making a decision in good conscience. I would suggest you get clear about your current situation and make a choice before the allure of something else draws you down a path that could lead to any regrets.

You’re a good dude and I know whatever you do it will be well done. Except a steak. If I hear you eat steak well done you’re dead to me.

Dude, sorry you’re going through relationship shit. I think all you can do is be honest, caring, and upfront with everyone involved, including yourself, your partner, and this new person.  Nothing that I’m sure you don’t already know and practice. Peace and best wishes to you, brother.

Good news: I put my TW to grain only 3 days ago and I’ve already got bright spots peeking through my pseudocasing.

Other news: we will admit my 8 year old daughter to the hospital Monday. She has always been way under the weight curve but a month ago started having a fear of choking and it’s taking 3 hours to get her to eat the smallest meals while she struggles to swallow. She has no buffer to lose weight while we move through the fear so the doc is strongly suggesting admitting her and doing every test known to man to determine what’s going on.

I think this group has had enough hospitals for the whole year. May everyone else be happy and healthy the rest of 2026.

Hey Gil
Head up man try and talk to the old lady and see where she's at in her heart. If she's for finding a new spark great if she isn't then maybe you can find a way to do it on peaceful terms and split comfortably.

1NFIN8- Thank you, man. You're right. I have to get clear. I remember hoping that I would land this job so I could start to put some distance between me and my current lady. I think I need to give it more time before I make a decision. I'll keep working on my issue with interpersonal workplace relationships in the meantime. You are right, though. I need to be clear of this relationship so I can see clearly. It's going to be very hard to go through. I'll feel terrible about ending it. I hate to make people feel that kind of pain. I was hoping she would come to the end of her rope first, but that's not going to happen. Good news is that I only grill my steaks "well done" by accident :lol:

FB- Thank you for dropping in. You're right. Honesty is the only way. It's going to be a painful conversation. One that must happen, however. Thank you.

MasShroom- Thanks for the advice. A peaceful split is a best case scenario. I appreciate you dropping in on this

I've got a crush on a new co worker now. Been a while, feels good/ridiculous. I'm old enough you start to wonder if it'll happen again. Feeling no pressure, no worries about it, pure gravy whatever happens.

I can empathize with this on so many levels.  Having a partner with an "avoidant" attachment style, especially when you are a communicator, can be so incredibly isolating.  I, too, struggle with issues JUST like this in my marriage, and I really feel for you, man.  I don't know if it's my place to offer advice, but I am definitely here to listen, and I'll offer insight if you would like. 

For now, know that I am sorry you're going through this, and I'm here for you if you want to talk more to a seasoned veteran in the war of marriage/long-term relating.  It's a tough road.

Thank you for the advice guys.

1NFIN8, that totally sucks to hear you guys are going through that. I wish you all the best and really hope things turn around for you all on that front. Keep us posted if you’re so inclined. Reach out if you ever need someone to vent to.

Gil, you’ll figure it out. Spend some time thinking about what you really want. Don’t make any rash decisions and grant yourself patience. New attraction is mostly just oxytocin, so don’t let that cloud you. Anyway, my offer to chat is always open to you, too.

Gil this was so true for me and my first wife. "So, her future plans don't align with mine." I have remarried and been with my second wife now for 18 years, married for 15. 3 great kids and both looking forward to the rest of our lives together. My two cents:

Time is the one resource you cannot recover. Spending years with someone hoping they will change their mind—or hoping you will magically stop wanting what you want isn't going to pay off for either of you. Love is the fuel, but shared values and goals are the tracks. If the tracks are heading in two different directions, the train will eventually derail, no matter how much fuel you have in the tank. When two people want different lives, one person eventually has to "give in." If you want to travel the world and she wants to settle in her hometown, or if you want children and she doesn't, someone will eventually compromise their core desires. That compromise often turns into resentment. Years down the line, the person who gave up their dream may look at their partner not as a teammate, but as the reason they didn't get the life they wanted.
