Have you ever seriously thought out loud why you have been brought up to this world?.

[Tobysky]

I know it's a general question but what else is there?. You work 7 to 10 hours 5 days a week. If you are single and lonely you hide in your computer trying to find a soulmate that rarely exists. If you are married with kids you have too many shores to do and if you don't do it she starts nagging you.

Hobbies?, only for the rich can afford it. They do think status is more important than to share time with your loved ones, which is a poor man's thought on a rich man's brain.

To go on an on will bore you.

Look at this scenario and let me know what you think. You both work full time, come home by 6 pm have a glass of wine, chit chat, watch TV, small talk of how your day was. Talk about the kids that are grown up but keep asking for financial support. Maybe if you are lucky, find a good one hour TV series. It's 11 pm, time for bed.

You wake up by 7 or 8 am. How was your sleep, did you sleep well. Both ask just to be polite. Shower, shave and drive to work to deal with people that do not own the business. Therefore they only work enough to keep them away from being fired.

Back home at 6 pm and repeat the usual.

What am I missing here?.

Buy a good life insurance to at least pay for your funeral or do you want to give your family the burden?.

What you are missing is the agricultural life style.
Where you grow your own foods.

You are missing th hunter gatherer part of human existence.
You know the part where we work or we do not survive.

Little has in reality changed, just the work we do to survive.
you could just choose not to survive and stop the merry-go-round you are on.

Or realize we can make a difference to others, grab life by the ears and ride it for all it is worth.

This is why a lot of guys pay to see escorts. To escape the daily grind and add some excitement to their lives.

There are many hobbies that doesn't take much money to enjoy. You just have to figure out what you like best.

 

[Jasper]

Lots of ways to spend time that don't cost money.

1. Masturbate.

2. Get a library card.

3. If you crave a bit of excitement, try dining and dashing at a fine restaurant.

Does your wife know how you feel about life, and do you know if she feels the same way?

Unless you want to go outside your marriage to find fun, I'd suggest trying to spice up your life by coming up with ideas together. Schedule a date night and do something special, doesn't have to be expensive. Say 'no' to the kids asking for money so you can start investing in your relationship.

I gave the smartass answer earlier, but really, if you're not happy in your little world, get out of it. Try a different lifestyle.
You Only Live Once !
When our kids grew up and moved out, we found we had nothing left in common.
First I tried to please the wife, who had quit working, built her a dream kitchen, planned vacations.
Once it became obvious she was never gonna be happy, I got out. Why spend my life paying for mistakes.
Im much happier with my freedom, hobby when I want. Have fun, do things, go places. I'm past the midlife crisis. That car is gone. And don't worry about what anyone else's ideas for my life might be.
Good Luck, safe travels.

Thats the thing,
No matter what you do, if a person is always unhappy despite getting all the materialistic things, it is best to get out of that toxic relationship or encourage that person to seek counselling (with or without).

I just remember being in a relationship with a woman who was always complaining and unhappy. I used to blame myself for her unhappiness but she remains the same with her other exes. Sadly she has a wonderful family and a group of friends, yet she remains unhappy. Just so relieved to get out of it despite missing her family.

Thanks for the kind words and will have to take the smart ass ones as there is a reason you bother to post.

My wife knows, hears it but doesn't want to listen.

Getting out of a long marriage is not as easy as you most think but finding alternatives.

We only live once but afraid of living alone.
