My birthday was two weeks ago. My wife (of three months) decided that morning to quit her new job. They had lied about what the job entailed in the interview, but it sounded dead fucking easy so she could have stuck it out until she found something new. So in the morning and when I got home from work she was a massive cunt, I cooked us dinner and pretended like I wasnt bothered because we were teetering on the edge of an argument and I couldn't be fucked destroying her mind with my argument skills like I do every time. I didn't even drink a beer and she didnt suck my dick so it didn't feel like a birthday. She's going to be visiting her home country soon (she's from Germany) and I'm about 50/50 on telling her to just stay there. I still love her and usually she is kind and lovely, but recently she has been getting more and more cunty and I don't want to have children with someone like that.

How long were you dating before you got married? Did you love together first? This seems like the kind of personality clash that should've risen up way beforehand.

You have a golden ticket to freedom. She will never be the homemaker you need. Allow her to go to Germany without any big arguments before. When she is with her parents you must do one of two things. If sharing an apartment, leave and take anything of value and excommunicate her and everyone she knows. If in a house you own, take personal belongings and change the locks, find a place and "rent" it out to close friends she doesn't know, give them a script saying they own this place now and telling her to hit the bricks. Eventually her Visa will expire and it's pretty hard to come after an ex once deported.

Were you in a camper or some cabin provided by the campground? Sounds comfy

[Anonymous No.19789024]

May 15th, 2018. Sitting in a jail cell, long story. I'd never been locked up before. No sugar in any of the food because inmates can use it to make prison wine, so everything is bland and flavorless in a small proportion. I get a cup of kool aid, it's not the zero sugar variety, they just took the packs you're supposed to add sugar to and didn't add sugar. I was arrested three days earlier. When they grabbed me they had animal control take my dog. I've had no way to contact them. The fifteenth rolls around, my birthday. My dog is being put to sleep. I drink red water while a guy who's fried his brain on K2 (synthetic weed) giggles and grunts in the next cell while flushing his toilet over and over.

[Anonymous No.19789405]

Probably around 3 years ago. I was at the height of my alcoholism and I often traveled for work. I found myself in Scotsdale Arizona and I finished work for the day and drank nearly a whole bottle of whisky by myself while watching the movie "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command". I then ordered nearly 100 dollars worth of food from door dash from three separate restaurants (a large, meat lovers pizza, a large order of wings and a variety of Chinese foods) however, because of the alcohol consumption and acid reflux (triggered by alcoholism) I was actually not able to eat much and threw up what I did eat. Waking up the next day with all that hardly eaten food, an empty bottle of Whiskey and later expensing said food was the wakeup call I needed. Genuinely considered an hero at that point.

Army DFAC right after I bitched out on telling the nice girl from my Bible study I was attracted to her, again.

The first Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich I had after a couple years without one.
I ate one in 2006/7 and didn't have another for a while, till like 2009. They had changed the chicken. The breading was darker, the meat the shittier, and the taste was so much worse. It's not just bad grease, either, it was consistent. They've changed a little bit now, but it's still not like it used to be.

Pre-change, the breading was bright and the meat the was more like actual chicken breast.

My most depressing meal was when I got home late from work and my cunty wife made only dinner for herself and left me a sink full of dishes. I washed them up and by the time I was done I was so dog tired I just threw a block of tofu on a George Foreman grill and drowned it in steak sauce and mustard before eating it. That was about the day I decided I was going to divorce her and I ended up doing that last year June.

I grew up in Oklahoma. It's pretty normal there for people to get married to their high school sweethearts. People really encourage you to do it, so even though I was going to college on the east coast, I got engaged to the girl I went to high school with. She didn't get into school near me, so I hardly saw her except when we called. She never went out, had zero friends, and basically just sat around depressed and anxious in her dorm at a community college near our hometown.

Anyway, I came back for winter break my freshman year, and a week or two in, I decided I needed to break up with her. She was losing her temper with me in every conversation, she didn't want me to go out to see friends and family, she didn't want friends and family to come see me. All she wanted was to sit in her dorm, cry, and watch anime while I sat in the same room and didn't say anything. I tried getting her to see a therapist or talk to a doctor to get on antidepressants, and she got mad and threatened to kill herself. I couldn't take much more of this.

I decided I'd break up with her the last day I was there, but it all came crashing down on christmas eve. I wanted to go home to see my family, but she literally threatened to drive her car into oncoming traffic if I did that. So there we were, sitting in her empty dorm, eating Arby's, and watching Soul Eater. I ordered a Reuben, but they gave me a generic roast beef sandwich. The heater wasn't working. She had been crying so much that she had to go to the bathroom to throw up. While she was in the bathroom, I heard her say through tears "I can that you don't want me anymore and that you're looking for a way out," and I said "yeah, I can't do this anymore." She just started wailing, and I grabbed my stuff and drove to my parents' house. I finished the rest of my roast beef sandwich on the drive there.

She didn't even greet me home from work or hug me or anything. Just wanted to sit and stew inside the bedroom watching Netflix and futz around with her phone the way I had left her that morning. I still get texts from new phone numbers asking me to come back. I block and move on but honestly it gets draining as fuck and I would have gotten a new phone number if it wasn't a damn chore swapping my whole life over to it.

Shit dude. My ex did that as well, threaten to kill herself over pretty much anything. The final straw for me was when I wanted to go to my sister's wedding and she told me under no uncertain terms that if I was to go to the wedding she would kill herself. I had already missed my brother's wedding a year prior because of her threats and at that point I snapped and said at least I'd have a suit that fits for your funeral. I packed my shit and GTFO.

When my dad was in the hospital, food and cooking was just a means to feed yourself before heading back there to help out. You know things would never be the same, cooked with whatever you had, but the depression and exhaustion really affected the food. You only ate because you were running on empty and it would be the only moment where I actually had time to think and thus realize he was dying. So it was eat and cry, get your shit together and head back to the hospital because people needed you there and needed you alert. This went on for 10 days until dad passed away. It was a lot of foraging from the cupboards because you would come home very late and didn't have time to do groceries.

This was five years ago. I don't know how she's doing. We've haven't talked since, and I don't live there anymore. I only come back to the area to visit my folks. And yeah, depression makes people impossible to be around. If I had a spouse or a child who was experiencing it, I'd do everything I can, when it's someone I frankly don't know that well, it's harder to justify. A slightly related story: when my grandpa was a boy scout a long time ago, he was swimming with his friends at a lake once. Apparently, one of them couldn't actually swim but somehow ended up pretty far out there. The kid started drowning, and my grandpa went out to help him. When my grandpa got to him, he grabbed the kid by the arm and started swimming him back to the shore. But the kid was freaking the fuck out, and he tried getting on top of my grandpa, which caused him to start sucking in water. At that point, my grandpa took on a "it's me or this guy" mindset and left him, so the kid drowned. Sometimes, you just gotta let someone drown.

They wanted to search my apartment and I guess thought my dog would impede them or something. I pleaded with them to just let me put her in her carrier, but once they had the cuffs on me they didn't give a fuck what I had to say. They opened the door, she barked at them but didn't attack anyone, then they had animal shelter catch her and take her away. No one comes to claim a dog, three days later it's put to sleep. Three days later was my birthday. I called my mom every chance I had and pleaded with her to find my dog at the shelter, but she claimed she couldn't find the right shelter until like day 5, and by then my dog was long dead. It's been a bone of contention with us, she lives another town over, she was more concerned about getting me out and I don't think she wanted to deal with my dog and thought she could put it off.

Covid at the university in my town was a complete shitshow. All of these students were trapped in their dorms having meals delivered to them. Keep in mind this university charges absurd amounts for meal plans and made no effort to compensate or even grant credit for the students. The students began posting their "meals" to Facebook and Twitter, and both the portions and what they were being served was appalling. Everything was processed and prepackaged. Breakfast would be something like a pre-packaged sugary "muffin" or a pack of pop tarts and a little cup of fruit cocktail. Lunches and dinners were things like sandwiches served with bags of sliced apples or string cheese, maybe a cookie. Oh, and bottled water, bottled water, and more bottled water. They had to eat like that for the entire lockdown.

I wasn't one of those students but it was truly a crime to see what pathetic excuses for meals the university was dropping off to their rooms to stake a firm claim on the meal plan money. I believe it's a flat-rate of $10 per meal, regardless of whether it's breakfast/lunch/dinner, all you can eat, and during Covid they were feeding their students little bags filled with probably around $2 of pre-packaged Sisko shit. No hot meals. Lots of undressed sandwiches (because lettuce and tomatoes are dangerous!) packs of pretzels, honeybuns, just garbage. It was truly pitiable and a huge ripoff.

Had my most depressing meal this week on Monday.
For context, I'm a foreigner living in Japan, and work a part-time job that I want to make full-time after graduating.
I had a breakdown after a shift since me and my senpai at work, who is my best friend here, had a falling out, along with a lot of pressure and stress to make things work here, since I have nothing and no one to go back to in America, having just been broke up with by my fiance. I just couldn't handle the stress and feeling of not being enough that built up over the past year, along with the end of a five year relationship and losing my only friend in the country, I just lost it.
The next day I stayed in my dark apartment, scared to check my LINE messages. Had an ice cream bar in the bathtub and a home brewed beer that got contaminated. It was supposed to be a kolsch.

House sitting for a friend and ordered some Chinese take out while I was really drunk.
I tripped down the stairs, and tumbled to the bottom in a spray of general tsos chicken and pork fried rice.
I just sat at the bottom of the stairs for a moment and then I started crying while eating what little was left in the trays I held onto.

I did the best I could the next morning to clean it up, but I missed a spot where a piece of chicken had splattered on the ceiling. My buddy noticed it and went back to review the footage on his interior house cam to figure out what happened. A perfect view of my fall, pause, and then gentle sobbing as I picked at the leftovers. He showed it to me the next day while he laughed and I died a little inside.

I came from a strict, Catholic family so there were like 'punishment meals' where some details would be changed to make them purposefully unpleasant. For example pancakes completely dry. No syrup or butter. You had to earn the right to eat better food and this could last weeks or months depending on the transgression.

Lockup loaf when I was in prison. It's just like 1,500 calories of "stuff" packed into some kind of a breadlike roll. I threw it up once and had to eat my vomit off of the floor hours later because I was starving.

I was in prison for brandishing a firearm to two guys that looked like they were going to rob me too btw. I spent two years in prison for that, and as punishment for not completing my chores they put my in SHU (solitary confinement) for 2 months and fed me this shit every other day....sometimes every 3 days.

During college I was a shut-in with no friends who lived with my dad and his long term gf. They both went too New Orleans for a week and one of the moments I remember when I was alone was rewatching Cowboy Beebop with a large bowl of unseasoned boiled rice. Even watching my favorite anime didn't shake the feeling if lonliness that was usually held back by having my dad to socialize with.

A tossups between the two:
1. In college I bought chicken breasts to make chicken and rice but I didn't have any spices or condiments, it was too late to go out and buy more, and I had class the next day so I had plain skinless broiled chicken breast on a bowl of plain white rice.
2. I wanted a tomato sandwich but I didn't have any bread so I just stood at the kitchen counter and ate slices of salted tomato.

this was a meal i didn't even get to eat

was with family traveling to canada to see niagara falls. me and my sister knew we were not well-off but my mom and dad were always trying to save and tuck money away to do exciting things like this vacation for us so we felt grateful for them as always. at the falls on the canadian side we started to get hungry and found a buffet nearby. it's one of those places you grab a cafeteria tray and there was packaged prepped foods already so you could just fill your tray, pay, then go sit down.

at the register my parents find out they are charging a ridiculous price per head. think in 90s currency (and this is in CAD) $25 per child and $35 per adult. we were told to put everything back and i think we went to burger king after that lol. the trip was nice but full of those moments i am reminded my parents didn't make very much money. the whole place is a tourist trap.

turns out i wasn't invited yet i vividly remember him asking me if i want to come few days earlier, which is why i spent 2 days looking for a nice snooker cue stick because he loved the game.
that night i overate at mcdonalds alone and got drunk alone at home.

I never even liked drinking that much to start. It just if I saw someone having a drink I selfishly also wanted some. I had to keep up with my onitis who turned out to be a huge alcoholic. Even after we split all I met were more drunk women.
>Wake up
>Want booze
That's when you're in trouble. No safety net. Noone that cares. The only people in my life are also alcoholics who are also trying to drink themselves to death. I think that's what a lot of substance abuse/obesity are. You're just looking for the most polite way to die.

I was 17 years old, small town so everyone knows each other. My neighbor was throwing a birthday party, almost everyone I knew was invited, but apparently I was "forgotten" (I think its because I didn't call her to by BBQ a month earlier [gf is jealous]), so basically everyone was at the party, I managed to gather 3 friends who also weren't invited to the party to go to the local bar play pool, after a few round 2 of them left (They later went to the party uninvited anyway) and the one that remained with me had a mental breakdown in the middle of the street at 11 PM (Not elaborating, he is still has some lose screws). After that I had nowhere to go and no one to talk, so I went home and on the way saw my friends partying on the street, for a split second I wished them to be tortured in a shipping container for up to a yer, but then went home, and had to hear the entire party going while I ate leftover kibbeh, lettuce, olives and a small piece of chesse, all the while playing Football Manager and listening to music to distract myself

I had, and still have, a lot of stomach problems. I was hurt pretty bad and the doctors didn't know I was decomposing from the inside out (necrosis had set in throughout my digestive system) so whenever I ate it was the worst pain I've ever experienced. Every single day. Lost out on pretty much ages 19-30 because of it. Threatened to kill myself in the ER and if any fucking doctor I had been to had ordered a CT scan I wouldn't have had to deal with all that and lose out on pretty much the prime of my life.

So I wouldn't say a meal can be "depressing" but for a little over ten years I dreaded eating. I would sometimes curl up on the floor of the bathroom and scream. When I would finally shit, it would be rotten water. Since the intestines were dead, there would be a blockage so whenever I ate my stomach and gallbladder would go into overtime to produce acid until the turds would dissolve and out would come rot.

They first thought it was cancer. I wish it would've been, because then I would be dead. Now I'm stuck here. I make a pretty mean gumbo, though. I won a chili cookoff last year and made chili today. No beans because beans are for fags and yankees.

Glowie here, you can do this in National Forests too, hiring typically starts around November (yeah you have to wait 6 months to start) and you apply through the USA Jobs website. Typically they're called camp hosts. You can also call ranger stations and talk to them directly usually, they can help you navigate the process. If you're not extremely elderly or a creep they will probably hire you as those are who we usually have apply for some reason. Typically you have to provide your own camper van/trailer though, but depending on the forest they might have one available for you.
