Fatty, here's my take on it. It may be hard for you to take me seriously, but I'll try. You let a woman chew you up and spit you out. This is everything you don't stand for and never stood for. For however long you've been posting on this board, you have been consistant and people have taken you for face value, UNTIL this latest relationship. You can blame your recent troubles/conflicts on alcohol, smoking, a bad attitude, the changing of the interwebz, newbies on the board, and the fact that most here aren't the head of their household - whatever you decide to come up with. You can try to blame any of that, but the real issue is 100% this past relationship you had. Fatty, you are in the midst of a huge internal conflict with yourself right now. SHE tried to change you. You don't even know who you are anymore and what you stand for. This situation would put anyone completely out of balance. You make comments like, "I'm trying to change... eating healthier, stop smoking, going to the gym, getting rid of the neon beer signs in my place, etc... etc...". Why? You say, "because this is they type of things women want" F-THAT! Fatty, if you decide to change things in your life, do it because YOU want to, not because someone else thinks you should. If you want to improve your health, the stop the damn smoking, but don't do it because you think some woman will see more value in you. If you want to get a new apartment and not live like a frat boy, then do it, but do it for yourself. Don't even talk about it or tell anyone why, just do it. You are doing this crap for the wrong reasons and you have created an internal conflict and you are completely out of balance with the universe right now. Be yourself fatty, be who you want to be, and don't worry about what any biatch or interweb poster thinks of you.... that's the fatty we all love and remember. And if you start dating another woman and she comes into your life and tries to start changing things about you for HER own benefit, then kick her to the curb, and move on, NEXT. You are 37 years old fatty? You aren't going to change. Be yourself.
Just think of all the money you just saved by using the Internet instead of counseling. That's money for booze and strip clubs
