It might be an idea to take up gentle sports, join a tennis club or something. Or a club that goes on gentle hikes. There are a hell of a lot of good people out there. Thanks for kind response, & wishing you all the best.
Thank You for Your kind words and for Your advice. Time will tell.
Thanks DAPAddict, always great time for you & respect... & for the main man ZiziMiniscule, respect isn't big enough a word. Guys, when I posted last night, I'd been out working & driving for 15 hours, was jaded, & had just eaten & polished off seveal beers before hitting the sack & repeating whole procedure again this morning.
I was a bit afraid I'd come home tonight & see lots of 'rolling eyes' derogatory posts - "this guy is a fu*king loony" etc (I should have realised by now how most people here are non-judgemental cool & understanding guys). But I also cared enough for your predicament & thought something else Zizi, 3 things in fact.
1. What if you got in shape? What if you got little volunteer work with homeless or vulnerable etc? Your great humanity & dignity would light up their lives, & get you out of beating yourself up.
2. Because I was a bit drunk, my bringing in the 'jock' your age, with the 3 kids, the wife he no longer relates to, the crushing mortgage... that poor guy has had his time in the sun... you have never been in the sun. You are a virgin to the brighter side of life, & it'll come if you stay strong & the years bring a little more perspective. And how you'll appreciate it all the more. Its just I could've put that a bit better phrased as to what I meant. You've no baggage brother - many guys your age would give right hand for that, alone.
3. Lastly, I know this woman, shes lovely looking in a weird way, but shes a social 'outcast' because she has what I've just reearched is a condition called phocomelia. It means her arm is malformed, withered, if you want to be blunt. I'll bet shes never been kissed though otherwise shes perfect, apart from lacking experience with men, so shes naturally slow to trust. I've thought a few times "Would I?" but to be honest, I've been not a brave enough soul to pursue anything: "What would my friends say behind my back", or else, "Would I be using her? if so, I'm pathetic" . Or it could be a lady with a bad stammer or an unfortunate birthmark etc. Brother, you need start with someone who has a nullifying factor to equal what is in your mind, your own nullifying facor - so this rids you of your feelings of unworthiness. And you won't be using her, it could be love (particularly since you've both learned what it is to suffer), or at very least it could give you both confidence to realise theres nothing in this world you should be afraid of, & you're BOTH as good as anyone else.
Best wishes.
