Marriage!

oh? I guess it is better to realize it before it is too late

That would depend on the kind of person you married isn't it?

So I assume you are the type to get bogged down in the details, nerd.

NATHAN4U007 Mar 28, 2026 +3
 Isnt it a reasonable to say you cant just write off marriage forever just because you had one bad experiece since every person and couple is different. Also is bro using nerd as an insult in 2026? Is this some kind of projection?

Not really. I loved my ex wife, still do actually and we’re good friends. I will never live with someone else, share bathrooms, bank accounts, whatever. Marriage is for lonely suckers.

Zocrs Mar 28, 2026 +2
Nope it's a joke. The sign of a great joke is informing the recipient that it's funny. How else are they supposed to know. This must be very embarrassing for you, but you are not to worry. I'm not judgmental of nerds, or ninnyhammer, scallowags, ruffians, rapscallions, or nincompoops. As a younger man I sometimes engaged in haberdashery. At my worst, you might say bordering on tomfoolery. Just pulling your leg whippersnapper

IDK doesn't it seem less suicidal after the first time. I'm not saying that right if you know you know.

14 tabs of acid at once. 10/10 do not recommend.

What happened?

konoha37 Mar 28, 2026 +27
The trip lasted roughly 10 years mentally, during which I was dying over and over again. Once the main portion of the trip ended Reality turned into different layers and I couldn’t tell what was real or not. 2 years after I thought my trip ended I woke up back in my hospital bed and realized that the last 2 years never happened. I couldn’t trust anything and became extremely paranoid, I was looking for glitches and came close to suicide many times as I thought it was the only way out. Probably took me 3-4 years real time before I could trust that I was back in reality again. It messed me up severely. This was on top of a bunch of other pretty bad pre existing mental health issues.

Wow. Crazy story.

konoha37 Mar 28, 2026 +13
I really have no one to blame apart from myself here. No idea why I thought eating 14 tabs of acid would be okay. My whole life has pretty much been f****** around and finding out. I am genuinely confused how I am still alive most of the time.

lasagnapasta7 Mar 28, 2026 +4
I am happy you’re doing better now ❤️ Hope you don’t mind me asking it, but could you tell us more about what happened then? I never did acid so I have no clue how a person can take 14 tablets at once. Like, if it was every 5 minutes or if it was 14 at the same time. Were you at a party? How did that go?

konoha37 Mar 28, 2026 +3
I had a friend who was dealing at the time so I got them basically for free. I was planning to sell them to friends who wanted them. Then one day I was just chilling with a friend and was like f*** why not. I started with 2 and then about 45 minutes later did the other 12.

Shit yeah psychedelics are best in moderation. Learn my lesson the hard way too. I was not a regular user and took six grams. I thought i had died. What happened after death was you relived your life at an ever increasing speed. The end was me slamming back into my body endlessly. It went from pleasant to nightmare to helpless then to acceptance. Haven't taken any since. I do fear death a little less now.

I had to eat 3 10 strips of triple dipped dose to avoid cops getting it. Very strange few weeks, not sure how I survived. Lots of fun I wouldn't wish on anyone. 🤣🤣

-Doing my own bikini wax at home. The “may cause bruising” warning should have been enough, but I had to learn the hard way. -Sky diving. Better than the home bikini wax, still don’t need to do it again. -Pregnancy. Love my adult daughter, but pregnancy was awful. Eight months of nausea and vomiting, culminating in a birth that felt like a home bikini wax. Once was enough.

that home bikini wax gave you ptsd

lmao, for real, everything goes back to the bikini wax

TisBeTheFuk Mar 28, 2026 +1
I heard of cases where people left the wax too long on the skin and when they pulled, it took some of the skin with it.

I disagree with the sky diving, that was the funnest thing I’ve ever done and would go again in a heart beat

As someone who also tried an at-home bikini wax, I know your pain. I never knew skin could turn that shade of purple.

Natto (Japanese fermented bean curd). I ate it accidentally, thinking it was something else. It’s gross beyond description.

Reading your comment gave me a flashback to when I was a kid. It was a super hot summer day and I loved ice cold milk and I ran in from playing at my grandmother's house and grabbed that carton to finish it and just drank it down and my friend I hate to tell you that it was buttermilk lol.

idkhtdaots Mar 28, 2026 +2
Natto is the one of the few reliable proteins my 4 & 6 year old kids will eat!
2
creative_rests Mar 28, 2026 +1
you can smell natto from 10 feet away. The smell alone is horrendous. Then before you even get to put them in your mouth, you have to fight the sticky beans with your chopsticks because they are covered in what looks like dehydrated snot. And if that doesn't turn you away, the bite finally will.

Definitely marriage. Getting divorced made everything so complicated and having to fight to get anything from my emotionally abusive husband made everything worse. I ended up settling for less than I deserved b/c I wanted it to be over and I wanted him out of my life. And don’t get me started on removing him my car title. That was also a huge mess. And that’s why I say never again.

I ran a triathlon once. Once. I was a regular runner, a slow swimmer, but what got me was the bike. After 15 miles I couldn't feel my cojones - at all. Never again.

MDMA. I thought it was supposed to be a healing experience. It was very uncomfortable for far too long. Won’t do that again. Bleh. Nothing positive about it.

That's ridiculously optimistic. Have you heard that old yarn like how do you get your foot to stop hurting? Hit your hand with a hammer. That's life in a nutshell, thus uttered the bard, "O, God, I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a King of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams."

Zocrs Mar 28, 2026 +1
The quote is from Hamlet, a skit by a little known playwright called William Shakespeare. My contribution highlights that you will never get over your current trauma till a greater trauma outweighs it. Which is inevitable. After that it's just turtles all the way down.

Marriage! I've resigned to accept I've been through long term little trauma and a couple big T trauma events to be a good wife. My priorities are: improving my community, supporting my young adult child begin his life, being a good dog mom, continue exploring plants, and creating a cozy home for myself.
