How many quality relationships do you have?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 21st, 2018 1:35 PM Author: razzmatazz factory reset button I've been feeling really alone lately. Besides my wife and daughter, I don't feel like I have anyone to turn to. Poor relationships with my parents, one sibling I barely speak to after years of distrust and animosity, the other was one of my few confidants but haven't spoken to him in 10 days after wife and I brought up something that happened at our wedding a couple years ago. Both of us have few friends in the area and we don't see them often. We don't really have anyone besides family and when those relationships are strained further than they already are, it takes a toll.

you also need to continue communicating with old friends you've made and don't see often. don't let it get to the point where everytime you talk you're just catching up. it needs to be an ongoing thing |

Date: August 21st, 2018 1:50 PM Author: razzmatazz factory reset button yeah, that's good advice to connect with old friends. our problem is that most of them live in different states, but i can recognize that as an excuse.
and yeah, suburbs. i've been trying to get involved in basketball leagues, but we both just need to meet other couples with kids. something for the whole family.
i'm also unsure whether it's worth salvaging relationships with my family, or just sort of walking away. i always find myself needing to be the bigger man, and i'm frustrated. relationships should be a give and take between two parties. |

with your family if you do some introspection and really find that they subtract from your life emotionally, then don't feel bad about keeping your distance. but never cut them out of your life fully |
