Spent about 4 hours this afternoon on the town doing Brave + Feast before reading the thread, you were directly responsible for another conversation thereafter. Thank you ... life is short.

I talked to my ex girlfriend and daughter today. Its hard talking to a three year old, they do not get the whole talk on the phone just yet. She told me that there was an owl outside the window...apparently it was an invisible one.

She also said she does not like marshmallows.

They will be visiting me for a whole month in July which will be nice. My ex-girlfriend is also pregnant right now by me (for a second kid...planned not accidental). July 5th we are going to the doctor in NY to confirm the baby, hear the heartbeat etc for the first time. She is now 7 weeks along.

Living in Ohio, while she lives in NY is hard. I know that before long one of us will have to move, living so far away from my kid soon to be two kids is pretty tough.

One of the reasons why I am involved in AM stuff is to be able to work at home so I can move anywhere I want...aka close to my family....which is why I was looking forward to your 5K post. I was hoping to see the "what would you do if you where just now starting" part.

Oh well...MFAs lukep style it is.

Thanks for the emails, PMs, skypes, comments on here, etc.

Lets not forget the reason why I posted in the first place. Although I appreciate the comments and regards, the more important take away is I need YOU to help me on this 5k post.

Spend time with your loved ones, no matter how busy you are after reading this

This isn't a thread about divorce or my situation with my wife, but a thread about no matter how well you think things are going in life or how much success you have right now, tomorrow you could die in a plane crash, or your son could be ran over by a truck, your wife could fall and be put into a comma, INSERT ANY TRAGEDY WITH ANY LOVED ONE.

If you read this post and then did not tell a loved one how much you care or try to plan to spend some time with them this week based off my post, then I failed at my main goal and you just might find yourself where I am, filled with regret and wondering how I could have done better maybe.

It would be nice if some of you guys would check back on this thread and post that you actually did take my advice and did something special with your loved ones today, no matter how small.. I'll even start.


I finally got to see my kids today. I took them both out to eat and I listened to everything they had to tell me, even if it was about Justin Bieber and some little annoying girl at the pool that kept bothering them splashing water on them. They told me what they did the last 4 days and if I loved their mom.

Its hard to answer a question like this to 2 eight year old girls, so I decided to skip giving an answer right now. Since this late on Sunday nothing is open in my town, I took them to rent some movies of their choice and got some snacks and went home and am getting ready to watch the first one with them now.

Thanks again for the kind words, as far as posienembrace, I could care less what he thinks. I owe a lot of my success to WF because this was a learning resource for me when I started and is now a networking resource for me and my business. He is just butt hurt over the last thread me and he were in where he made himself look stupid.

Coming to WF is my replacement for watching the news or listening to the radio. Part of my business is here ( BST ), my learning was here, and my networking for future deals and partnerships took place here. This is about the extent of non business shit I do in my life for myself instead of listening to the radio or watching the news/reading the paper and is one of the reasons I even got the breaks I did in this business. I have no regrets about coming to WF, posting here, or catching up with people here. To think that the 30 minutes I spend here daily to sell my BST or to learn about FB/POF back in the day when I first started was the cause of my marriage troubles is about as stupid as it can get. If you read the paper/watch the news/listen to the radio... well, posting here and reading threads is my replacement for that "self time" that every human should get.

Fucking awesome, awesome post.

My parents are at the stage of life where every 5th phone call I get from them is telling me about their friend so and so who dropped dead/has cancer/lost their marbles. One day, I know that call will be about one of them, and that scares the shit out of me.

My mother-in-law has developed a degenerative brain disease at the age of 63, and my wife's family have the alarming habit of dying suddenly from strokes in their 40s (which she's approaching).

The idea of permanence in our lives is simply an illusion we create to avoid facing the fact that no matter how "comfortable" we seem, we are riding a rollercoaster blindfold.

Whenever I read stuff like this, I'm reminded of one of my favourite stories about a monk who died, and in his will requested that instead of burial/cremation, his skeleton be placed in a meditating position at the front of the main hall at the monastery, with a sign above it that says: "I was like you, once. One day, soon, you will be like me."
 
Divorces can be expensive man, say goodbye to half your assets.

I know a couple guys that can take care of this for a lot cheaper if you're picking up what I'm putting down.
 
Thanks OP. I don't post here much, but thanks. I just called my wife to tell her how much I love her.

If you really want to control your own destiny, don't do MFAs.

If you're really about taking control of your situation, it's time for you to get serious about actually executing on something.

My best wishes to you eliquid.

No day goes by that I don't tell my wife how much she means to me, that I love her and our little son. We also tell him and I make sure to tell him every night when I put him into bed.

Nonetheless, your post impressed me, as I am having an incredible busy time at the moment and just spent half the weekend working.

::emp::
 
if she's really leaving you because you work too much, that's something that can be fixed, and something you can show her over time. if you want to get her back, do what you can to prove your world has been rocked and you're 100% on the right path of balancing family with work.

just my drunken ambien 2cents talking though.
 
Just called a few friends back home to have a chat, I speak to most of my family regularly but since moving/travelling overseas some of my friendships with people back home haven't been what they used to. I guess I put them in the "they'll still be there when I get back" basket - which is something I can't know for sure.

They were super glad to hear from me and it was great to hear about how their lives have progressed in the last six months.

Goodluck with it all :).
 
Thanks for the most important and practical reminder of life.

If you guys have face the tough time of economy together than remind her those moments and the way you both stick together.

Just tell her that you did all this so that you do not have to face that situation again.

10 Years with any person is really a huge ... so my friend ... do not let her go ... this will effect not only your life but life of kids as well.

So stand up and do everything to get her back ... recall everything what she likes and do them ...

Thank god me and my life partner both are working hard to stand our self so that our son will have everything which we were missing in our past life ...

But yes we spend at least 1 hour daily with our son .... and we have great chemistry ... if she help him in study than I play with him ...

For me playing with him is also tension buster ...

Here me and my son ... father and son ... matching matching (Black and Blue)

So much faggotry in this thread. Harden the fuck up. To the guy posting pics of himself and son, I'm sure only good can come from that lol

Before I got involved in IM, my mentor told me don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the panda around the corner.
