Well Ross and the others who know and gave me moral support not too long ago. I can admit to being pretty well down for a while, and spoke to a cetain member face to face for some advice. I cried reading your words, but didn't want to admit it too loudly. I think it is amazing how we have made friends with people here, and we don't even all know each other if we passed in the street. Sure some we have met, and some have met who we know, but a lot of us are strangers, yet close mates.
So Ross, you hold strong Mate, and as said already, stay in touch with your boy and the rest all their lives, and be their best mate and let them know they can talk about anything with you and not feel embarrassed, ashamed or weak.
As for the wife and your long distance marriage, send little things like a SMS saying how much you miss her voice: smell; (avoid making it about housework) send a card in the mail, chockies, flowers. It will help keep the spark alive.
While you are on you own, do those little jpbs that she has pested you to do around home, go see those places like Scott suggested, Join a "The Shed" group (a mens group who make things in a community funded workshop fitted out with tools).
Or maybe catch up with some Mates you haven;t seen in a while.
What ever you do..........................Keep being you .....................as we wouldn't want you any other way.

Rossco it sounds to me that you and the lad are pretty good mates and you have shared a lot of time and love to gether .You sound like a well balanced bloke so why wouldn't the lad with a role model like yourself have a bag full coping statergy's to use in times of need. You'll both be fine he'll try things his way fall over pick himself up dust himself off and think now I know what the old bugger was getting too so dont fret he's away just look after mum because that nesting gene is in their DNA and they have a hard time as well .Time for you two to get out of town have a walk and a sandwhich watching the sun going down. Be happy life is always about experiences .
I can't believe no-one has said it. Well I'm gonna! Download pRon! And also a good killing game. I'm a BF3 addict, I can't help it. Home alone, rub one out, then go on a shoot rampage. Great nights!!!!
In all seriousness, I'm not looking forward to the day my girls leave home. Bu then again, maybe I am...
Fro. My earlier post. Glad in not the only deviot here
remember what you did as a teenager when you were alone well the internet has made it really easy fir you now mate. Haha. But really tools in a shed a project some mates beer a mistress a hobby. Spend more time on here.
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
Such is the rule of honour.
Internet as a teenager! When i was a teenager there was no internet. Just noodie mags and the dads stash or vids

Hey guys, as far as going for the 'big snip' ........... it really isn't that big a deal. Most of it is in the mind I reckon. I had it done almost 15 years ago, & it didn't hurt & has made absolutely no difference to libido & performance. The only real difference it made was to allow MrsTea to stop taking the pill which after doing so for many years was a relief to her as it can have health impacts when taken long term.
