For me it was “buy high quality pillow” because you sleep for one thrid of a day etc. I needed a new pillow anyway so I came to the store and bought the best they had. And it was … ok. Like it’s a fine pillow but my sleeping haven’t improved really, it’s basically the same. So I was disapointed :(

So, which life pro tip disappointed you?

“Happy Wife, Happy Life”

Some women will never be happy with you because you weren’t her first pick, just what she settled for.

You can’t make someone happy, who is unwilling to try making themselves happy. Relationships have to be equal partnerships.

Life is so much better living alone with my dog the last 10 years.

I don’t think anyone below the age of 50 has seriously believed in “happy wife, happy life”. It’s very much a boomer mentality of “pick someone you don’t love and suffer through the relationship forever”

I did for a bit but the years went by and sure she’s happy, but am I?

It’s been 5 years and we’re still together.

I think we both know it’s time.

It’s rough, man. Kids.

My dreams are screaming at me.

Am I supposed to ‘follow my dreams’? Is it literal?

I’m not sure what I want anymore, whether I’d be happier single. My subconscious yawps but I ignore it.

Last night I was cheating with 3 of my ex’s, at once, in my sleep. She said I was sleep screaming again, but I only remember the spice I felt for life. It’s been so long.
