The 'Make An Honest Confession' Thread! Part V: Rebirth

[Anubis]

Yeah, but at the same time, the most common way to ruin a marriage is money problems. And quitting your job for no apparent reason is like, a huge red flag.

 

[Schlosser85]

I understand why he did it, but in this economy, quitting your job without a better one lined up is like taking a swan dive into an empty swimming pool.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

You and your metaphors.

 

[Schlosser85]

Life without metaphors is like chicken nuggets without barbecue sauce.

 

[Manic]

Honey mustard

 

[Anubis]

Or hookers without Nachos.

 

[Schlosser85]

I love me some BBQ sauce.

 

[Holiday]

Recently, i quite my job, because i was seriously falling in love with one of my co-workers...and i'm married.

Curious, but what did your wife think of you quitting your job right now in this economy?

You mean hookers without a life? (meaning they're dead)

ranch dressing > all.

 

[Schlosser85]

Pssh. Ranch dressing is all egg and no omelette.

No, that was indeed stupid....unless you already had another job lined up before you quit. Otherwise, in this economy, that was the dumbest thing you could have ever done. I'd say banging her on your desk would have been a better decision than quiting your job over a skirt.

I think Golgo was more concerned about ruining his marriage.

I don't need to work; circumstances had me retire from my previous job years ago, and i get a full pension for the rest of my life. This job was a minimum wage gig, that a friend hooked me up with, simply so i could have a little extra gas/leisure money and get out of the house. I now know how older retired ppl feel. When you work, you can't wait to retire; when you're retired you just want to work! I was bored as hell at home, and just wanted something to occupy my time. I didn't NEED the money at all. All my bills, etc are coverd by my pension.

I told my wife i quit becuase i didn't like the hours, pay, etc..which is not true. I was really falling for this other person, and before i got head over heels into it, i severed the tie....this was several weeks ago, and it hurts.....emotionally....

THAT'S ABOUT AS DUMB AS A MULE WITH BAG ON IT'S HEAD!

Ohhhh, well then, good call.

Actually, putting a bag on a mules head is just common sense if he's gonna be participating in a donkey show.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

You would, too. ;o

 

[Kane52630]

but what if this co-worker was Hayley Atwell?

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Honestly Golgo, it's sad you have so little self-control you have to quit a job because you're afraid you might cheat on your wife. People in this economy are dying for a job. It also makes me think that this will be a problem that happens to you again... and again....

Was this more a case of you being tempted at work .... or unsatisfied in your marital life? If it's the latter, it's only a matter of time before you cheat, get divorced or need serious counselling.

 

[SpideyVille]

I'm curious as to whether the other woman was even attracted to him, because if she wasn't, then everything else is a moot point.

That is a seriously good point.

It's not a cheating issue; i rearly ever thought of this person in a sexual way - even though she is physically attractive; that's how i knew it was more than just a lust thing. I truly just enjoyed her company. It became the high light of my day. I never made a pass or hit on her; hell, i don't recall ever giving her a compliment in any shape or fashion; even something as small as complimenting a new hair do. I'm 100% sure, she has no idea how i feel. And instead of embarrassing myself, and creating an uncomfortable work enviroment for both of us, if it did slip out one day...i simply walked.

As far as my marital issues goes; i have none. Why do ppl think that if you cheat, or have strong feelings for someone else, something's wrong/missing in the marriage?

Is it humanly impossible to be in love with two people..?

 

[Golgo-13]

..she'd be pregnant already.

 

[SpideyVille]

Yes, but it's frowned upon in most places.

But in all seriousness, there have been cases where someone cheats on their significant other simply because their emotions get the best of them at the moment as opposed to there being something seriously wrong with their current relationship. But that's where JJJ's point comes in to where its more of an issue of self-control. It's not unusual someone who is in a relationship to be attracted to someone else and use whatever sexual energy and emotions they get from that person on the person they're involved with. Some people can just handle it better than others.

What's weird about it is, this other woman shares about 95% of my wife's character/peronality traits - flaws and all. They look different, but their personalities are almost identical.

Ranch dressing is a gift from the gods. BUT if we're talking McNuggets from Mickey D's, it's sweet and sour all the way.

I confess that I just spent 3+ hours putting together another employment package.
