There is no point. Do what makes you happy. Sometimes you have to do things that makes the SO happy, but that you have to accept if you want to keep one.

Just giving friendly advice. You are free to state the opposite.

After >50 years on this planet I have come to the conclusion that I have no real friends. Many friendly acquaintances (some people would call them friends). My SO feels the same way (she noticed it before me).

Friends NEVER lie to you. That is pretty much the only rule I have (I can think of at this moment).

Couldn't agree more. I would however say, your SO surely qualifies as a friend, and most likely your closest friend.
I feel the same though. My wife is my closest friend and all the friend I need. I invest in relationships that pay dividends and friends are generally overrated.

I guess some folks, perhaps like the OP, hasn't been fortunate yet to experience 'real' friendship in the form of a ride-or-die SO/Partner/Wife/Husband. Worlds changing in the sense that newer generations are not putting much stock in lasting relationships and rather opting for transitory experiences I guess.

Just my thoughts.

Good to see you read my as yet unpublished book. I covered this in Chapter One: The Journey Begins Within. I know, deep.

Ok, she is my only real friend (and lover). I was referring to friends outside the home/love life.

OP. Are you married/kid??

My wife and kids are now my friends and I spend every free moment with them. These are your true friends. They will tell you if your breath is stinking and compliment you when you dress well. No fakery involved.

Thanks for reminding me. Once you become best friends with someone, you feel that you can share anything. This works when you are in your teens and maybe up to twenties. But try and tell a friend something negative about their behaviour or breath...lol....see the reaction.

I fell for "You can tell me anything, I won't get upset/hold it against you. etc"

In Fairness that is the most accurate description of you.

Your dislike for me has been obvious for a very long time. The moment I try to say something positive you come with a sarcastic comment.

I like PS4....you instantly told me off.

Over the past 3 years I've sat back and watched my life go up and down, there's multiple things I could mention but I feel as if it wouldn't make a difference aside from revealing my true identity, as of 2019 I have no friends, the place I work doesn't respect me and I have no ambition to push myself towards a better life, I'm sick of the fake intimacy, the lies, this facade that people put on, we're fooling each other with this bullshit, what does it matter? Who the **** cares about your shiny new car, your rolex watch, your fancy big house or your group of fake friends. I'm overwhelmed by this urge to break away and get out of the city, I've thought about suicide but I don't think I could ever bring myself to leave my family behind, not after all they've done for me.

I just want a simple life is that too much to ask for?

Sometimes I cry myself to sleep hoping this feeling of emptiness is only temporary.

Apologies if this is too much but I needed somewhere to vent.

Thanks for listening

Answer: Minimalism
Go on netflix, there's a cool docu called Minimalism about 2 minimalists and some others.
People in general feel empty, ask @satanboy

Because you'll come into as near as makes no difference any thread and say something negative, not in the sense of a troll just negative, I used to think you were being sarcastic but I've realized you kind of just hate everyone and everything on here.

If I hated this place, what would I be doing here?
