I try to be a positive guy everywhere I go, partially to help lift others up and partially because I know I'm prone to bouts of depression myself. It's not working too well the last couple days and I feel like I'm starting into a downward slide again, andI want to pull back a little bit.
I had a fight with my ex-wife a couple nights ago. We usually get along, in spite of the past, because we're both just still trying to live better lives than when we were together. She said some negative things about the kids and I just went off on her for once. It ended with both of us telling the other to f*** off. I can live with it and feel good about what I told her, but it's definitely contributing to my mood.
Then there's the guy I've been seeing. It started well enough, but I'm seeing warning signs now and red flags all over the place. We started out actually dating and doing fun things together. Lately I get just one or two texts in a day, then an apology later that he's been busy. The apology seems to lead up to him wanting sex, followed by a few more days of silence. I'm not going to stand for it because I know better, but I had pretty high hopes so it's got me down.
I pretty much know what I need to do in my life. Lose the jerk, stand up to the bitch, and keep it together for myself and my daughter. I could just use a little pick me up.
