First off, decaf is a swear word in my culture.

lol j/k Secondly, gaming addiction in this day and age is multisymptomatic. When we want to play, there comes a line. A percentage of resources it should comsume. Money, time, and physical activity are the biggest concerns - one should dedicate a certain amount of time to being an adult, and then set himself up for more in the future. One might not be able to exercise, but should maintain a degree of health with diet and activity. $300 a week will be spent whether it be in a Free to Play game or anything with in-game purchases, or subscriptions - in other words, if you need to spend money, the addiction will find a way to siphon it. One should find investments, savings, or at least set a goal for future purchases.

Gaming can be profitable in this day and age. Spend time researching that, or wanting to get the right equipment. But if it's an addiction, treat it like it is trying to kill you. Becaus eit is.

I still spend a lot of time on games, since I am full time career for my dad, my day consists of mostly just sitting around until he calls for me, I can't really go out in case something happens, it's why going down to the gym isn't easy even though I really do need to do something better for my fitness, so games just work as my best time sink since I can play to kill time and then put them down when I need to help, I play what is probably a very unhealthy amount of hours on games but right now it's the thing that really just stops me from sitting around bored.

See, your situation calls for something close and distracty, so it's acceptable to have such dedicated distractions. It's a matter of drawing a line with resources: time , money, and physicality.

Dude when your a dad you should spend as much time with your son as possible.

I'll second that.

Hey

Hi Bobby

Sorry for being so unstable for the past few days

Nah man it's good

This is what we're here for, to help

The difference between men and women is that most men will try to help each other

I'd like to also presume some women help each other

Yeah from the stories I've read most act like mean girls after high school

Haha damn

It's a genetic trait that was used to weed out the weak mates

Back when we were like early homosapians

Some fancy biological stuff there

You can see it in action with that men vs women survivor show they had in the UK

Do u mean the island by bear grylls

Nah m8 let me find it

Oh damn didn't see that

Coz bear grylls split em up as well

Yeah it's from a MGTOW channel but this does show how women will refuse help from one that knows her shit and how to survive because they perceive her as a threat

Ouch

The solution to the gender division isnt more division it's learning from each other, listening to eachother and finding common ground

@Bobby_Hill That's exactly what I think. 😃

Just coming back from a crappy relationship involving yelling and false claims, and a lot of lies, guess she never loved me from the start and was dating me for my friends, thought she was lying to feel better about herself but asked around and found out it was the truth :/ it’s been like 5 months I’m still not over her but I don’t want her back so I don’t know why I feel this why, I also learned so much more about myself when I was with her (like getting much more into stuff I’m passionate about including the mrm) but now, I don’t know what to believe, I know I believe in the MRM but I just don’t know what to do with my life, and my views ect.

"it’s been like 5 months I’m still not over her but I don’t want her back so I don’t know why I feel this way" That sounds super normal. At very minimum it should be understandable to want things back the way they were, and even a crappy relationship can be dear to a person

I mean, ask me what to do now and I'd just say MGTOW (not so much because of this particular situation as because of what the rest of relationships are), but that isn't necessarily a feasible/reasonable answer to give.

So my commiserations to you sir

Personally after a relationship ends for me Ive found it good to focus on myself for a while. Focus on rebuilding your image of who you are and not just who you are within the frame of that relationship. It has helped me feel better again

False claims seem to be something a lot of people experience here, @Thedemogamer💙 , I'm sorry you had to go through those!

It looks like you may just be putting your life back together, so maybe take it easy for a while if you can.

oh man, i just starting reading here and it appears i'm not alone. right now my stbx is attacking me on her social media. false accusations and alleged dv (which i was never charged for). and my dumb naive ass was feeling sorry for her and thinking of actually calling her to see if we can end this amicably. but she's not holding back and even posting pics i had absolutely nothing to do with and some even look photoshopped! I really don't give a shit about her what her social media army thinks of me but now i realize she wants to see me suffer as miserably as possible. i'm shocked but i should have seen this coming.

i been looking for support because i feel clueless and now i know how i naive and stupid i've been. i don't have anyone for any emotional support which i am embarrased to admit as a man. but so be it. my parents are only thinking of how embarassing this is to the family or how much this is gonna cost. my friends are far away, married. i tried contacting an extended family member going through something similar and i got good advice but also i seemed to have made him very upset and maybe embarassed.

That sucks... You think you know people but then things happen and they turn out to be totally different

ok, i just tried get support via chat on a site offering support and now i feel even worse than before. and i suspect bias against me as a man
