>got married after uni to girl who seemed really nice (dated her for 2 years)
>she racks up credit card debt, ruins my credit rating
>she cheats on me with some nearly anorexic 18 year old that could probably pass as a girl if he wanted (albeit a 6 foot 3 girl)
>we get divorced
>have to pay her alimony until late 2017
>have 15k in credit card debt
>have 25k in student loan debt
>only make 11.50 an hour even though I've been trying really hard to get a better paying job

What the fuck kind of life is this? I worked my ass off since adulthood and have literally LESS THAN NOTHING to show for it. Right now even if everything goes PERFECTLY and I work like a mad man I won't be debt free until I am middle aged.

Seriously thinking about an hero. My life would literally be better if I was one of those stereotypical neckbeards that just stayed in his parents basement, and spent all day playing video games and smoking weed.

What the fuck should I do?

Hi /adv/

Tomorrow we have a christmas party at work, consisting of a dinner from 7:30pm around an hour away from my workplace., Another colleague suggested we all go to a cocktail bar beforehand for around an hour. Would it be autistic if I said I'm going to stay at the office and meet them at the restaurant. I don't like cocktail bars and the idea of them repulses me, plus I don't intend on getting drunk tonight since I don't like getting drunk, so I'd just be standing there.

I never post here and I'm on mobile so sorry if the post isn't formatted to your liking.

My girlfriend just freaked the fuck out because she woke up in bed with me and I was jerking off. I'll admit it was kinda fucked up since it was right next to her while she was sleeping but what really tears her up is the while concept of me jerking off at all. We talked about it and I pretty much just started laughing in her face when she compared lying about jerking off to her lying about giving random blowjobs. I can break down the whole story and give background if requested but that's basically the skinny of it.

What do

Tldr my gf hates it when I jerk off, but I'm probably not going to stop.

Girl cancelled our "date" this evening. She gave no reason, really, just saying that she couldn't and that she was sorry. I simply just thanked her for letting me know.

Is it worth texting her when morning comes, and letting her know that if it ever does suit her to meet up, to let me know, and otherwise a good luck with everything? She didn't respond to my last message.

She's very clearly the shy/awkward type and I'm betting nerves got the best of her, or she took advice from friends and just didn't do it (we have never met face to face, but she has sent me a lot of nudes). We're in the same college town.

I'm in college and I'm not a talk active person, I only start a conversation if someone asks me something, but generally I'm really awkward, I don't like the girls in my college cus mostly they are brainwashed to follow the herd and they don't have anything special about them, probably only pretty faces.
But I met this girl 2 years ago that I really liked, she was special in some way, like you can feel that this person has a different personality and has probably gone through some shit in their life unlike the spoiled sluts that I go to class with, being the socially awkward person that I am, I try and read people see what they like, usually this works but it didn't work with her, she didn't tell me much, and was pretty shallow with her conversations.
then the following year I tried being close friends with her but she started feeling uncomfortable talking to me, and that usually means 2 things either that person hates you or doesn't find you interesting, or that this person has a crush on you, I tried helping her with her studies and stuff, but whenever I tried opening a normal conversation with her she would try to end it quickly.
So I finally took my chances and confessed to her, I didn't do it face to face because I lack the balls, so I sent her message and she responded with "I don't want to hurt you, but I can always be your friend" I apologised and couldn't stop thinking about it for a whole year, because I don't even know what's inside this girls mind or why she acted all awkwardly in the first place.
a year later we still talk and I usually throw a joke at her from time to time, but I can't help but wonder is she shy?? Was she the type that want you to show a sign of commitment like proposing to her parents or something, or does she really dislike me? What do you think???

Hi, I punched a collogue during a Christmas party and have been subsequently dismissed for gross misconduct. Up until this incident I have been a model employee, and had no animosity towards the victim - I don't even remember doing it!

Any advise on how to approach this in future job interviews?

I have seen a lot of posts saying people should tell the truth in interview if they have done something to be dismissed, although who would employ someone who has been dismissed for violence?

Should I lie?

Hey guys i hope you dont mind i wana post my life story. Im trying to wrap my head around this mindfuck i call my life. Feel free to leave criticism, advice, gtfo faggits, whatever. Sorry i would just journal this but im poorfag and dont own a pen or paper. Here goes;
Cureently im 25 male.

My childhood wasnt exceptionally horrible. But it was no walk in the park. My father for the first 18 or 19 years of my life was a bad alcoholic who would beat my mom my sister and me. Not that often. But enough to leave an impact. My mom was worse with the physical abuse up until i was maybe 12 or 13. Then she finally quit hwr bullshit. But not her mind games but thats another story. I was left alone the majority of my childhood. I spent alot of time in the woods by my house. Just sitting by the creek thinking, collecting rocks or something, painting pictures on trees, riding bikes with a few friends. Some of my fondest memories are in those woods. A childhood most kids nowdays dont experience. Sad really. Ive always struggled with mt sexuality but in middle school i got my first bf. This was before all this anti bullying stuff. So i was constantly getting fucked with. By kids at school or my family. I wasnt no pussy either. I was constantly getting into fistfights. At school or with my family. After shit didnt work out with that bf. I met this girl who would stay in my life for a LONG time. I started experimenting with weed and alcohol and dxm and drugs in general in middle school at maybe 11 or 12 years old. I was maybe onw of the only kids in school that did lol. Alot of middle school is a blur to me. I think because i had to put up with alot of abuse from my family, kids at school, even teachers, my mind is protecting me from itself. I had my first near death experience in middle school. I overdosed on fkn robitussin (horrible drug) twice actually once in middle school and once in highschool. Anyway by the time hs started me and this girl were already broken up. I wen

Hi guise. Been a while since I've been here but I've encountered a pretty (common) concerning issue with my significant other. We've got a good relationship, we trust each other, we're happy. We've got a decent house and decent jobs and a 5 year old kid. We're both 26 and from similar backgrounds. Been together for 6 years known each other for 8.
Last night, I was in our living room watching tv when he went in to the kitchen. I asked if he was alright and he relied yeah, he was quiet though so I peeked around the door frame and my phone clatters on the side as he drops it from his hands. I didn't any anything and he made some stupid attempt to excuse it by saying he's got chicken sauce on it. After a few minutes I picked it up and double pressed my home button and voila. My text messages were the last open app. The text message app I don't use unless my mother is feeling lucky enough to text, which hasn't happened in like a week or two. What's he doing? What's he thinking! I've gotten the hint that he might propose over Christmas which was always what I wanted.. But now? I'm wondering if he was trying to catch me out and doesn't trust me or am I jumping he gun? He could have been looking for something to surprise me. It's clearly bothering me and I'd like to confront him, but I don't want to be a dick if he says he was doing something nice. I've never given him any reason not to trust me but I'm beginning to feel like I don't trust him now.

Any /adv/ would be great appreciated. I'm on side iPhone so sorry if delayed responses.

if you graduate from community college, no one cares about your high school grades right?

I have a plan

>be me
>be 2 weeks before start of 10th grade
>decide to sign up for a class per season at local community college
>stop trying in high school so i can do well in community college class
>Decide to take one 4 credit class per season
>get A's or B's in all of them
> teachers at high school complain about my shitty work. fuck them
>comes time to graduate high school
>graduate high school with 70 average
>people laugh when i tell them i'm planning to go to real college, not fake college
>no one knows that I've already accumulated 32 credits at local community college and i have a 3.7 GPA there
>apply to ivy league and get in

Will this work? Have I figured out how to cheat the system?

Why is it that any time you meet girls who are warm, talkative, nice, friendly, and alluring -- they're always in a relationship (usually very committed ones)? But when you finally meet a single lady, they tend to be a little cold, distant, quiet, bewildering, occasionally a little hostile, sometimes coming off trifling dense and timid, and just very difficult to talk to?

After several years of denial, and starting the previous winter, I've been appearing to grow more concerned over whether something's off about me that I'm utterly and terrifyingly unaware of, and they're picking up on it and responding with mild, yet unconscious, contempt and disinterest.

My dog died a few months ago. I did all I could for him, but I was still devastated. He was a lazybones and a bit of a dummy, but more trusting & loyal than any other dog I've ever had or even met.

I thought I was coping OK, but I just returned home for the holidays (left town after he died for school-related reasons ... and I just had to get out of there) and all the grief came rushing back. I'm lying in my childhood room and every time I shift position I expect to see his head pop up and look at me. I guess I just kind of pushed the grief aside rather than dealing with it.

I really need to talk to someone about it, but I feel really embarrassed and guilty being this broken up over the death of an animal when I haven't cried over a person's death since I was a child. It's not that I don't care; it's just with people, I don't feel it immediately for some reason. It hits me piece by piece over the course of months. With animals it's right there, right away. I know the people in my life will understand but I still just feel guilty sobbing this pitifully over the death of an animal, especially when I'm not really friends with any other dog people, and I think you'd have to be one to empathize with this level of a bond with a pet. I at least want to hug a stuffed animal, but I even feel guilty hugging one of them instead of my dog, even though he's dead.

I guess I'm just confused. I flatter myself to think I usually deal with death pretty philosophically, but this time the hurt isn't diminishing.

Pic sort of related; not him, but looks like him, except less lazy.

I made out with a guy yesterday and I have, what seems like, a cold sore that is starting on my lip. Can this be herpes?
He had no cold sores or anything like that. I've never had a cold sore.

So I found a phone and decided to keep it for myself (I'm a dick, I know).

I both hard- and soft-reset the device and removed the SIM-card.

But i read that the previous owner can hand over the IMEI-number to the police who can then effectively brick the phone.

I'm fine with that. HOWEVER, I'm not fine with the idea of the police getting my real phone number and ID.

So, my question is: can the police see my phone number using IMEI alone?
