What the hell - all I do is eat, sleep, work... rinse and repeat...

I eat, sleep, stay at home, rinse and repeat and play video games.

Feeling the same exact way. I've determined this thing is a trap.

I didn't read very much of this thread but I will tell you to go out and have fun, I'm sure alot of people have said the same thing go get fucked up socialize (spellcheck says alot is wrong fuck them)

Perhaps he is bored.

And finds the mundane existence of debt slavery undesirable, yet sees no other option...


I bet he is creative.

Just going instinct here.

well my spouse works, but he's got an excellent job that he loves and pays well. We travel a lot (business and pleasure).

I love being home and not working and its so much better for us as a couple, no stress from hectic work schedules, etc. I'm actually living my fantasy.

I wonder if he is... I know you will say that he is, but he is still on the tread mill...

yay socialism.

Agree. You are just waking up now. Don't give in to anger and don't make a decision based on fears. If you want to experience something new, do it fully.

Wally world IS good for free camping spots.

Hey OP, you left out poop. We are all so busy working as slaves to the machine that the only time left for ourselves is to eat, sleep, and poop.

no, i don't suppose he is, even though he claims he likes his job a lot. he feels if he leaves his job, i will leave him since i have become accustomed to a certain lifestyle. the truth is, i will never leave him. i love him. married him for better or worse, richer or poorer. when we both met, we had no money - we were both dirt poor, so it was the real deal, no hidden motives - we married because we loved each other. later during the marriage i got a nice size inheritance - i was totally surprised as was he. we banked it. he makes a ton of money now and we have a bond based on trust and loyalty. I keep telling him he can quit anytime and if we become poor, we will still be together forever. I do believe he likes the prestige and money though, so he is not trapped by any means. besides I've always believed the best things in life are free and a a fit body. As long as I have 2 hours a day to work out, I am happy.



as for other fantasies he may have... well lets just say I am happy to help him get there no matter what they are... he is free to roam if he chooses. Me? I am content with my place in the world. I would never stray from him, but understand if he needs to stray, I may have to look away or walk away. so far, so good. I believe its the option of freedom that keeps a man happy. besides he is insanely good to me. I have no reason to cause him any grief.

we come into the world alone, we leave alone. the friends and relationships we have inbetween are only has good as we allow them to be. I am, for some reason, still mysterious to him at times. I think that is what keeps him close to me, he never stops discovering things about me and same for me about him. He is a mystery at times. A good one, too.

you know nothing.

Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."

and if you have no regard/fear of hurting others all for your own "freedom" then that does make you a selfish asshole

The butt was worth it.

Yeah, as a single young man. thats strength, needing nothing at all. I hear ya. I was homeless once too. I biked, I explored. I ate so many egg sandwiches from the soup kitchen, lol.

Yep, my husband and I just did that.

New place, smaller bills - he does what he loves and gets paid for it and I catch part time jobs.

We have no cable - don't eat out - I shop at thrift stores and get tons of compliments and don't let them know that my outfit costs only 12 bucks, lol. Amazing what you can find at thrift stores.

We don't have car payments, have a MagicJack as a phone (what is that, 50 bucks a year?) and our cell phones are Trac - pay by the minute.

Mr. O and Turtles are both right in a way. If you can go, and want to then go. If you feel you can't at this time, then set a goal as to WHEN you can, research places, and when you can, DO it. In the meantime, put some fun somewhere into your day, even if it's something that would seem extraordinarily stupid to most people!! What have you got to lose? DO IT!!
