    Default 2013 sucks

    It's like I've had nothing but bad luck in 2013. As if the year is out to get out me.
    Broke up w/ my fiancee (I fell in love with another woman, unrequited).
    I had a car accident, no personal damage but was very costly to repair and he still doesn't drive as well as he did before.
    I had an epileptic attack in bed while sleeping over at a friend, bit through lip, bled all over the bed and I couldn't eat properly for 3 weeks. It was also accompanied by heavy cramps and a lot of memory loss. Had to go to a neurologist, who prescibed me some pills.
    And on thursday I went out for drinks, and my cellphone got stolen. €650 Samsung Galaxy S3.

    I feel like I'm due for some good luck. But sadly that's not how life works..

    Dude. Realising your fiancee wasn't right just before you actually married her is like winning the fucking lottery. Just imagine how much Shit you'd go through either living your life with the wrong women or bailing out in say 10yrs time. Divorce solicitors ain't cheap, neither are maintenance payments.

    You may well look back on 2013 as the luckiest year of your life.

    Although I'm guessing by your tone you regret ditching the fiancee, but if you fell for someone else once I can't imagine you would have lasted too long.

    - you're not a factory worker in China
    - you're not a mine worker in Sierra Leone
    - you're not a civilian caught in the war in Mali
    - you're not a soldier in North Korea
    - you're not dying of hunger in Ethiopia
    - you did not loose a child in the Newton shooting
    - you don't have cancer
    - you did not die of cold sleeping on the street last winter
    - ...

    AND you're not French

    AND for all these people above, it very much looks like it's not just 2013 that's gonna suck...

    feel better yet?

    - You met a women you love even more than you thought possible, and are now with her.
    - Survived a car crash with no permanent injury.
    - Treatment of your epilepsy is progressing.

    Sucks about your phone though, no positive spin on that, everything in life that matters depends on having one of the newest smart phones available. Oh wait, no it doesn't! Sounds like a decent year so far.

    As (hopefully potentially profitable) poker players we should all feel this way.

    When one negative random event happens it is easy to laugh it off. When 3 or more happen in succession it is awful. Sometimes you receive multiple random outcomes in a row, it sucks.

    Sorry about your recent string of luck (I've been there, too). The ability to trudge forward means you'll ride out the variance and come out ahead in the end.

    Thanks for the encouraging words guys. It is weird, by the end of 2012 I was feeling like the opposite. But I have some important stuff coming up now, it is like you guys say, I have to shake this feeling shit's out to get me to get me motivated again.

    I have been saying for years that there are wayyyyyy more desirable women out there than desirable men. Plus I'm pretty sure we are allowed to be assholes and/or selfish hundreds of times before it becomes a real issue.

    Maintenance calories at ~3000 or so has its uses too.

    Jack, on the plus side, Game of Thrones is just starting its third season. You can't possibly judge 2013 at we're at least, like... five episodes in.

    Seriously though it does sound like a poor string of events, and I don't know about you but comparisons to far-away or unrelatable situations that are apparently much worse never did anything for me when I was feeling down.

    I doubt I could add much to the advice given in this thread, but I'd definitely side with wuf here and say this: you avoided marrying a woman you'd not have wanted to be with, at least as evidenced by the fact that you sought out someone else before going through with it. That your sentiments towards this new woman weren't returned is immaterial. You avoided a bad marriage; and it would have been very difficult to know if this new potential relationship would have worked out if you hadn't of stuck out your neck. The realization that she did not feel the same way is just bad variance.

    Anyway, sounds to me like you'll be alright man. Best of luck the rest of this year.

    pretty sure that was Dan A not wuf...idk if Dan A should feel honored or offended?

    If you have money I suggest hookers and blow. The comedown and self loathing that follow will eventually fade away leaving you feeling relatively better about yourself. This means you get laid, you get some hedonistic partying and you feel relatively better off. Winning!

    The unrequited is more like, I didn't do anything. I spent some time with her, I went clothes shopping for myself and she tagged along, stuff like that. But she has a boyfriend, who is a friend of mine.

    However, a bit back, he cheated on her and fucked another girl (which she knows), then he kept contact with the new girl and tried to arrange to get her to come live with him and kick his current gf out (which she knows) but that fell through, he doesn't love her anymore (which she knows), he also cheats on her weekly with 2 different girls (I'm the only one that knows this).

    Probably just keep my hands off of that situation until they break up, and then if I still feel the same I can make a move. I can't really go tell on his cheating, he'll know it was me then who ratted him out because I'm the only one who knows. I don't wanna be that guy.

    Another thought, does she know you're interested? 'cos it sounds like you're in the friend zone, which makes sense as you seem nice and she clearly has low self-esteem and likes men who treat her like Shit.

    Clearly isn't the love of his life, he just has some white knight issues.
  28. #28
    Eh she's not the love of my life, I think it's more like when the love for my fiancee faded you get a void which gets easily filled. I've noticed this more often in myself and other people. And ofcourse I'm in the friendzone atm, aren't you always with the gf of a friend?

    JV, ditch the "friend" and give up on the girl. /yaya, easier said than done, wahwah

    You want to talk about bad luck. I got bounced by lolzzz's (wtf, is his old name?) bullshit coin-flip rule in WW. It was my first WW attempt, and I got a full time job shortly after preventing me from ever playing again.

    Jack, life has variance. Use the good times to the fullest advantage and shrug off the bad times.

    Do yourself a favor and forget the chic for a while.

    Oh, hookers and blow may make you feel great at the time but later, when it's all said and done, you can look back at it, and still feel great.

    Thanks wuf, but I won't realistically check in more than 3 times a week so it would be a disservice to WW if I tried to play now.
