    The issue is men and women have always trapped themselves together, and they always had the children, but everyone in the family worked together and had roles, including the children.
    All family members had to work to survive: garden or farm, cook from scratch, can and preserve food, hunt, fetch water, cut trees and build fires, feed and care for the farm animals and pets, do all the home repairs, tutor children at home ...
    Now, no one has a role and hardly anyone is productive. So, there's no purpose any longer in having a family or children. Plus, everyone's miserable because no one has an important place in society. We're all easily replaceable.

    This was very comforting to watch. Like hanging out with a friend that's going through so much but also being optimistic at the end. I definitely understand a lot of what you are saying. Also, I deal with chronic illness, divorce, lost my home 2 years ago and moved out to another country to cope financially. Some days are so isolating, it's hard to breath. I feel lucky at the same time too. Your optimism is what carries you through so much. Thank you for including us in your day today.

He’s lazy , that’s the problem . Not only that but he hasn’t had a job in decades and is effectively a social misfit (he’s used the word “hermit” to describe himself) so he’d have a nervous breakdown if he got a job in a customer-facing environment and got into an argument . He’s like that prisoner Charles Bronson , effectively “instituionalised” , you’d have to reintroduce him to normality slowly , even then I don’t know if it would work , maybe he’s just a total write-off

    Gerald…I’m not going to feel sorry for you. You are the only one who can change your situation as you have the ability to reason and honestly learn to be happier. It’s a conscious decision. It sounds like both you and your wife have some childhood issues you never dealt with ….like us all. You should have hobbies? Reading, photography, music, nature…I don’t know but concentrate on the good things and start doing more of that. I’d also suggest you and your wife have a real honest discussion of what you expect, want and just plain honesty even if it hurts. I am a clinically depressive person. I’ve learnt to look at myself, accept my good and bad, play piano, listen to music. Music heals. Nature heals. Everyone needs to learn to be happy in their own company. Accept yourself in 🎉totality and then others will. Your children feel the tension as well as your dogs. Please…I’m 64 …I’ve lived life. Just learn to ride the waves.✌️. Life is life and you make of it what you need to. Or are you happy being miserable? I empathise, I’m not judging🙏

      @@jshaw4757 I'll go further; if this was a woman speaking, other women would be in the comments piling on saying how "unsupportive" the partner was. As men and women we live VERY different lives.
      Linda made a couple of good points as you say. Most significantly that we are responsible for our own happiness-I believe that wholeheartedly. What she fails to acknowledge however (and what all women will refuse to acknowledge), is that men are expected to give, not take.
      Women typically put themselves at the centre of a relationship and make the relationship principally about their happiness. If she's not happy (for whatever reason) it is considered part of the man's job to make her happy again. If he doesn't then that's considered in no small part to be a failing or fault on his part. Something he's doing "wrong".
      By contrast if a man isn't happy, thats considered entirely his fault and a woman accepts no responsibility for making him happy. It simply doesn't enter her thinking to do so. The same women who would be in the comments calling a man an "unsupportive" partner would be completely silent about a female's refusal to offer support.
      As I say, I agree with Linda's main thesis-we're all responsible for our own happiness. Whichever way you slice it though, in terms of relationships women live far more selfishly than men and this DOES have an impact on mens ability to work on their happiness WITHIN a relationship.
      They're expected to do so alone, in silence and without troubling their partner's peace of mind at all. By contrast men are expected to be a supportive resource that the female can draw upon for strength.
      I repeat, men are expected to give and not take. Our experiences are VERY different. It's night and day.

The kids will grow up and leave your wife too one day and she will end up alone like you too. This state you're in is temporary... so take action and 'Man up'. Don't let your kids see you as a wimpy who is pussy whipped... write your wife out of the equation and move and and take your dogs with you...they are at least loyal. Kids will grow up with or without you... you MUST look after yourself and heal first... then they the kids will/maybe old enough to choose who they want to live with or have further contact with. Stop being and victim and celebrate being single. Woman are cold and calculating and don't be their victim. Fight on old son.

    This is the first video of yours that I've watched. I don't know you, of course, but I'll just say what I think based on first impressions. I think you need to find your voice. You probably should be having these conversations with your family instead of total strangers on YT. Communication is key in every relationship, particularly your wife and children. Perhaps be a little more assertive, and not be a simp. Most women and children want their man/father to be strong and alpha. I've found I can easily sway a man, but that gets old. I loved it when I finally met my human ! He doesn't take any guff or disrespect from anyone, especially me. I always thought I wanted to be the dominant one and control everything. He showed me it was ok for him to take control of things and that I could trust him and let him take the lead. He's the man of the house. Period. He knows his place, and I know mine. He's happier when he's running the show, and so am I. Stand up and show them you are the patriarch of your family.

    You can make art prints and sell prints. What I have seen on YT is people reselling secondhand items they pick at garage sales, estate sales, etc. e.g. 'homeschooling picker' (on YT), but they go out often - it seems quite freeing because they can go out when they feel like it, but they do go out often to pick items to resell. If you get a lawmower - what about mowing lawns and showing it on YT as some do and keep the YT going. Also life is not as simple as it used to be and its easy to get caught out while the world overtakes us and leaves us behind.

    Thank you for posting this video. I can so relate to it and find it comforting in a way. I was "cast out" of my own family as soon as my wife gave birth to our second child. I was excluded from the weekday family meals, my wife organised the children's birthday parties to take place when I was at work so I couldn't attend. I never complained, just kept working at my job while she did little apart from go shopping. I was the sole worker, my wife sent our children to day-care, or her mother who took care of our children during the daytime.
    Things are much better for me now and I have completely walked away from the family that I loved and raised but was physically and emotionally ostracised from.

    Coach Corey Wayne on TH-cam is great for understanding woman's psychology and relationships, many of his older videos might be better. Good for any new future possible relationships if it's past repairing current circumstances or just in general is interesting to learn about relationships and woman.
    Most woman want a man strong and centered in himself, confident, peaceful, certain, seeing him passionate in something, driven achieving his goals, to be in his masculine core providing a stable household making her feel safe, heard and understood. Then the big turn offs to woman are using your girl as your personal therapist, not dating her after marriage or relationship, needy or desperate behavior becoming more of a woman than she is disrupting the polarity of feminine and masculine energy driving her to resent him and lose interest. More to it just going off memory

    If your wife is not willing to be positive in your relationship then try find some things to do with your children, a football , kick around, a kite , colouring books , use some loo roll cardboard to make some characters, relationships are not as important as your kids happiness is whilst they are in your company.

    Wow, Gerald. No one knows you here & everyone has an "opinion". Food for thought, it appears you can agree no one is to blame. A relationship of zero laughter, intimacy, poor at best communication seems futile. Who wouldn't get sick & depressed living in a relationship as yours, depression & loneliness can lead to illness. By what you say she appears so very cold but all suffer and a kind, compassionate offer in a calm manner to talk might help you both to honor one another & decide as a team what's the best healthy way to move forward. Have you shared all you share here about your concerns with her? She just beats you down it seems; maybe it's her only way she expresses her pain. We all have fears and struggles explaining what is the real issues. Perhaps you both can agree to move on and stop this madness. Why do you both stay together? Living like this would depress most. A fun, laughter, supportive, intimacy relationship can help anyone's health. Again, perhaps the 2 of you could go away for a day, make a picnic for the 2 of you and talk this out. It appears you are wasting one another's time. Children are resilient and even they could be happier and you both can share them separately. For me, I could never live with someone who does not show me they love me and me love them. We are a solid team together. We have a loving communication and supportive. We all have to make a plan and work our plan. What's first? Whose on first and whose on second? Is it find work first to prepare to live?

      Remember Gerald, it's the DIRT that is valuable. Over here they bulldoze homes if not fabulous, and it's the DIRT AND PROPERTY THATS where the real money is to a buyer. Even if the house isn't worth much, they want the DIRT, or location, or acredge. Please don't fire and aim under pressure. Kids feel the uncomfortable vibes between you both. You can both carry the weight it's certainly not all you & please do not allow anyone put this monkey on your back. That is not fair in the least to you. Please don't allow her to pull this guilt trip. I met a plumber working on my place and he is buying a trailer and putting it on land he is buying. I am a gardener so it's hard work and can be expensive, very doable, cuttings, make your own fertilizer, bugs eradication with NEEM oil, weeding, and H2O or all dies and all that work. It's called social security and the less one works in the USA the less they get and frankly for all we put into the system it's not enough to pay bills at all, it's chump change and throw in high high inflation! The dollar is worth nothing now. We cannot count on the come, illness comes out of the blue, things always break down, some greedy witch takes all your future from greed, it's always something.

    I feel your pain Gerald. Good you have started the carnivore diet as you are at least experimenting in life. I think making these videos are helpful for you and hopefully you'll arrive at some conclusions. Ultimately though you cant stay in this passive state. Youre processing what's been going on and i get that but soon you are going to have to decide what you are going to do differently to get different results.
    Regarding your marriage- from a woman's perspective i would hazard a guess that you have let your wife down in the past and she cant forgive you and she just stays with you for practical reasons now. Perhaps while you were depressed she shouldered alot of responsibilities with the kids and the overall mental load of raising the family and running the house. She probably wanted you to be more of a leader of the family and be working and providing which makes a woman feel safe. If she didn't feel that safety with you it would have been hard for the intimate side of the relationship to work.
    I think your relationship is over to be honest unless you feel you want to make another attempt at being that man she can rely on etc. it would require a lot of effort and you'd have to really want it which I'm not sure you do and she still might not want to rekindle things.
    The main thing is you need to move out of this passive state. What actions do YOU need to take to change things? I think in the picnic scenario you should have gone and joined in. You said that in the past that you didn't join in with some of the family activities so you've set that precedent and it was the norm for your wife and kids. Why should your wife come and find you when you were not there in the past? Its up to you to take the intiative and i get that its hard as your wife is hostile but remember you are a role model to your kids and you want to role model being proactive in situations.

      I always say sorry if I do something wrong and so do a lot of women. It’s true that there are women out there that are takers and users, but there are also men out there that do this also. Let’s take away the gender issue and realise that we are all people and that some people are well balanced and kind and others are disruptive, mean and thrive on chaos.
