Well, it's been a while since I last posted here. After my last post, things got better between me and my wife. The last three months of 2018 were really full of hope, and things were looking up. Then, around Christmas time, things started declining again - still better than they were when things hit rock bottom, but not so good. Work kept me pretty busy the first three months of 2019 though, so I didn't let it get to me. Afterwards, I was feeling pretty lonely again. A few weeks ago I met someone on here who I felt was pretty much what I've been looking for since joining Reddit. She was really great to chat with, and we even got to meet up for some "fun". But this weekend, the guilt finally hit me hard enough to steer me "back on course." So, while I may not be getting as much at home as I'd like, I finally feel like I do have everything that I need at the moment so there's no longer a desire to search for more.

Thank you all for sharing in my pain, and helping me to feel less alone. I hope you all, too, are able to find contentment - either in what you have or what's out there. Conclusively, we all need to feel loved. We deserve to be loved.

Hopefully, things will only get better for me, and I won't be returning here. If that's what happens, then, goodbye, DB redditors.

Time for me to finally logout.
