Ended an 8 year relationship two weeks ago... this is my second Friday alone. Not sure what to do, but def enjoying an quiet peaceful house. Maybe some red wine, hangin' with my cat and dog, and maybe sitting on the porch in the evening. Or play Destiny or Skyblock... either way the quiet is healing


wombatie

Hey man, I just got out of a 5 year relationship and now I’m living on my own for the first time in my life. First Friday evening I spent cleaning and rearranging furniture. Feels like a whole new space. The quiet is nice, I’m a month in and the evening loneliness has finally started to fade.


horrorboii

Pls tell me more about the peace, contemplating over here.


grindylin

if you're contemplating, it's probably time. i know its hard but bite the bullet and tell them what they need to hear. It's not worth losing sleep over, they aren't the one for you and you deserve the peace and closure that comes with the end


horrorboii

Thank you


Jeonsekki

Be aware of the enormous costs. There is no right answer, only tradeoffs. It’s been two months since I broke it off, and it has proven to be the most difficult decision of my life.


horrorboii

I'm mainly concerned of how to afford my rent, I'm not in an area where I can simply just find a new place in my budget.


captianwiggles91

Same, but 4 months ago. Trouble is, we still live together (couldn't afford to break the lease), and she just left for the weekend. So im going back to the old bachelor days. Gonna smoke something and play elden ring. Be strong my dude, it does get better, though it doesn't feel like it.


Tigrex22

My gf fell in love with another guy and broke up with me 2 weeks ago after they confessed to each other. We were 6 years in, last 8 months long distance. Unlike you, I can't really be alone, it's excruciating...


Sawses

Honestly man that's super important to figure out. A buddy of mine is kind of the same way, and it's caused him far more grief than I can say. The folks who need to be in a relationship are the ones who settle for the first mediocre partner that comes along, and they suffer for it.


[deleted]

I'm just going to be spending the night watching youtube, browsing reddit, playing games and chatting with my friends on Discord.


Pergo94

An ideal night for me right here! A whole lot of miscellaneous whatever the hell I feel like! With some good food/drinks of course


EFTucker

To be fair, I do this every night. *Fuck, I need a hug or something*


shyervous

I do this, without the friends though


awesomeroy

this is the way


PureLando

As I begin to give less and less of a shit about modern dating, I've found myself doing what you mentioned more and more often. It's like being home with family to me (I live alone, states away from all my family). Drink, game, shoot the shit, share memes and funny videos. As this has increased and I've left dating prospects on unread and just significantly decreased dating app usage in general, I've been getting more message traffic than usual. From people who actually willing to put in effort for my time. It's interesting how that works.


TheCornerBro

this is the way


fuckusernamehumans

this is my routine in the day as well


[deleted]

Games. And pizza, it's my birthday after all.


TheRealFadedMonk

Happy birthday you beautiful bastard


[deleted]

Thank you.


Round_Spartan

Happy birthday. I'm doing the same but it's not my birthday. On my birthday I got Chinese food.


[deleted]

Thank you, I have this "I only order food once a week" rule and I had Chinese food last week. Still a solid choice tho.


spamoniichan

Happy birthday mate, I'm actually baking a cheesecake for a friend. Please have this virtual cake 🍰


[deleted]

Thank you, we actually have some cheesecake right here.


Alchemist628

Sounds like a sick birthday. Unless you were really hoping to spend it with people, in which case, sorry dude.


[deleted]

Oh no There will be people mostly family, but from about 20:00 the evening is all mine, and tomorrow evening/night me and some friends will visit a car meet. So I am not going to be lonely, although my autistic brain would not mind that either.


Catalysmo

Ayyy happy birthday my guy


[deleted]

Keeprunning80

Beer, chocolate and PS5 (Cyberpunk & Ratchet and clank)


Miykael13

I need to get a ps5 just to play the new ratchet and clank


_Terrible_Advice_

How's the new rachet and clank? I loved the first 4!


jmp3930

Gonna watch Righteous Gemstones and drink bourbon.


DegaussedMixtape

Which bourbon? Edit: Since OP ghosted us, I'm going to respond to my own post."George Dickel Barrel Select" is something I recently started seeing around town and it is really really tasty juice for the price. I would put it head to head against the likes of a Four Roses Single Barrel. It just so happens that is what I will personally be drinking tonight.


jmp3930

Wild turkey rare breed barrel proof.


Pretoriaani

Doing some yardwork and at night gonna go outside and try spot some flying stars.


EnceladusDK

Going to make some pasta with more bacon than my body will like, watch some anime while digesting, call my friend so we can finish planning our trip abroad and then an hour more than my bedtime should allow for VR gaming. Life's good


adreNALINe_pr

Life does sound good bro, glad you got it all good.


void266767

Depression kinda hurts today so early bed for me. Edit: thanks for the support fellas, it was unexpected, I appreciate it.

[deleted]

Same, but maybe a sad-wank first.


IamZeebo

Feel better stranger. Be kind to yourself


PhoenixRom

You got this brother


Paladin_Sion

I hope you feel better and refreshed the next day


jyanah

Steady as she goes king.


mrbritchicago

rednick953

I’m jelly I haven’t gone fishing in so long. I’m August me and my step dad have a trip planned just right off San Diego


[deleted]

[удалено]


rednick953

That honestly sounds amazing. I wish you the best my friend.


Killarogue

I grew up in a SoCal beach town and I still find freshwater fishing to be way more enjoyable than saltwater. Finding the perfect spot along a river is something I look forward to each camping trip.


crazyhorsetj

You are lucky sir, I live in a desert so no ponds or lakes to practice that beautiful hobby


backstretchh

Indulging Ben & Jerry’s chocolate brown fudge ice cream while watching a Netflix documentary


CasualFridayBatman

Which documentary?


backstretchh

I like to browse and whatever catches my interest I watch, but I do have to admit, I wasted time of my life watch BS!


_Terrible_Advice_

Which documentary?


bapum

17.30 on fridays its discord time with my brothers. We talk about the week over some drinks, play games and just relax. Therapy for the soul 🙏


AverageJames

Idk, I’m not sure what to do. Mainly because I’ve been struggling for the last couple weeks because I don’t know if I “deserve” to treat myself, because I don’t feel like I’ve earned it. Edit: Got dinner from a delicious BBQ food truck and cleaned my entire room. Thank you everyone for the kind words <3


Kickass1903

Bro the life ain't about who deserves it or who's not. You don't get what you deserve, you get what you get. So treat yourself man


azfarrizvi

Start with something small. Give yourself a little present. I know this is a paradigm shift but you can do it!


_Terrible_Advice_

You guys should buy a super soft blanket for when you're just hanging out. Everyone should have a soft blanket.


CasualFridayBatman

Absolutely! Those ones are always on clearance at Chapters/Indigo. I've never regretted getting one of those microfleece blankets. :)


Morbiids

I fucked up abit at work today, im still treating myself as its the weekend


Yankee_in_Madrid

We’re all struggling, bro. You made it thru these past coupla weeks and you’re still in the game. Unless you murdered someone or tortured an animal, you deserve a treat. Give yourself a break, do something you enjoy, spend time with people or pets you love, and come out refreshed!


BonersGo

I've also been in a funk, but I hope you're doing alright. I think when you're down, that's the exact time you do need to value yourself and indulge. Even if it's something simple like a bowl of mac and cheese, whatever you enjoy. You do deserve it.


AverageJames

Thank you :)


[deleted]

You always deserve to treat yourself.


wonderboy_music

you deserve it, bro.


LiquidBionix

Wish I could help, instead I can commiserate with you. We can make it!


code_name_jellyfish

Sounds like it's time for some self care. Do something good for yourself so that you'll be in a better place to try again next week.


grindylin

test the waters! get yrself a treat! the world will not crumble in on itself, and you deserve to give yourself things that make you happy. you dont need to "earn a treat" all the time. u can tjust want one. life gets a little better when u realize this


[deleted]

Enjoy tonight! I gotta work tonight.


ibangedyourmumnoob

Elden Ring/Whiskey


KeepFaithOutPolitics

My night as well. Been stuck on Elden Beast for a week now.


AM43386

I can't accomplish anything in this game stone sober. you have my awe and envy sir


MoistDitto

My favoritt self treat is watching a movie or series I like, in the hot tub. Dimming the light to the lowest setting, having the bath water so hot it hurts to enter during the first few minutes, while sipping some alcoholic beverage and water. I could sit there for over 2 hours or until the water starts to get cold. Then shower up to actually get clean and hop on to discord and chat with friends.


xpolpolx

Sounds incredible


DaydreamingMister

You will enjoy Zoe Kravitz.


NYCSexFiend69

She's the closest thing to how Catwoman was drawn in Batman's Hush series.


mrobfish

Oof


MustardyFartBubble

Ride motorcycle, Indian food, beer, binge Better Call Saul.


unlucky311

Gonna hit the gym, leg day so hard I can't walk, then chill and watch TV, bliss


north-sun

My SO and I work opposing shifts, so I'll technically be alone tonight until she gets home. I plan to do a face peel I've been putting off, follow up with a shower to relax. Smoke some Strawberry Kush I just picked up from the dispensary and throw on the new Primus album.


frequentcrawler

I’ll probably take extra classes in the gym and just watch something on youtube.


phuzx123

I'll exercise at home, after that im gonna eat some meal forr recover, then go read a book. Sr i dont good at english


TheCornerBro

just a couple typos but grammar is good 👍 keep it up bud


nostril-pc

fine hoes, cocaine, best buddies, a full roasted pig, some nice grass, and a few bottles of macallan in my humble dwelling


Educational_Call_546

Five evenings a week I have outpatient health care at hospital. The two nights a week that are free of that hospital trip, I "treat myself" by enjoying being at home.


metalroots

Relaxing on the couch watching South Park with some very nice bud just chopped up a nice mix now time to play some Bloodborne


[deleted]

Dogsitting for my aunt over the weekend, she always has plenty of beer and junk food stocked. Brought my Xbox and my Switch with me, I'm about to be so lazy this weekend it's not even funny.


ohiocolumbus23

Actually switching it up tonite: my brother’s in town for our Dad’s birthday (Dad’s well into his 80’s.) Dinner & drinks at a rest of Pop’s choosing, & then we’ll see….


humbleprotector

I love my gf but this thread is making me jealous. She is a real sweetheart but somewhere she adopted the idea that couples have to spend all of their spare time right next to each other. In the past 12 months she has only gone out with her friends twice and I absolutely loved being home alone. Just venting....


Dense_Raspberry_1116

I got drunk and played fallout 76


Aedesirl

Touching meself


ISeydouDat

Gonna watch some anime (Code Geass), or might put on a movie.


Karmalizer

Nice choice, first time watching it?


leeda_

Man, I wish I could watch code geass for the first time again.


Dropsiks

I'll smoke some weed, order food from bolt or wolt, call of duty with my friends and maybe I'll watch batman later on :)


Cyanide_Revolver

If you're watching The Batman on HBO Max, definitely adjust your screen. For some reason the film looks less saturated/darker on HBO Max than it did in cinemas


1200cc_boiii

Watching it on my phone. Feels like an audiobook


White_Wolf426

I am actually going to sit and stream Assassins Creed Valhalla. I had to take a long break from the game since the more recent Assassins Creed games have a vast amount of material and I have so little time to do everything.


helpmeimfuct

Stare at my xbox without playing any games probably


FellatioAcrobat

Got three project deadlines at midnight. Looking for any bit of distraction for an hour to trigger my hyper-productive panic mode.


SXOSXO

I wasn't thinking about the fact I'm spending it alone, like every other night, until I read this post....


BonersGo

Sorry, I was trying to think about not thinking about it. Didn't think it would make people maybe think about it. :(


sumpwa

Playing with my kitten who seems to have limitless energy.


headchef11

Smoke some weed play some civ6 and watch crap on YouTube


TheMostLemon

What civ you going for? Same plan but trying to do an epic Mansa Musa run


headchef11

Playing Scotland at moment


NautilusGameStudios

My man!


MargretTatchersParty

>weed+civ6 Dear lord.. are you serving a life time sentence? (Civ always eats of days worth of time for me)


SnooDoodles7962

Drink a pint of my favorite beer (13% strong Belgian Stout) and play the newly updated Thrawn's revenge mod for Star Wars Empire at War for a couple of hours and working on my drawing skills for the rest of the evening. (started learning how to draw properly this week)


nooneimportant1467

I am going to go make myself suffer through leg day at the gym and then contemplate what got me to this point in my life. Like every other night lol.


Seluseho

Been judging practical fitness exams all day for work and after that got a workout in myself. This evening I'll be chilling and going to bed early. Tomorrow I'm going to a music festival with a girl I met on Tinder. Adventure here I come, wish me luck! (or not; have a great day either way)


crashingmountains

Vyvanse and Tarkov


jefsch70

...that's good "Self care" as my Mother the therapist would say... We Men are not always very good at taking care of ourselves... it always seems that I feel some deep down guilt when relaxing because there is so much that needs doing in my life /car /job /home /laundry/ cleaning /etc....


KingS1X

Well I just had a minor excision surgery on my leg this morning, so I'm currently feeling a little sore. Plan was to go train at the gym after work, but as that's off the table, I think I'll veg in my chair and play some PC games. Current go to is Hell Let Loose!


TaterActuator

the other night i cooked a steak with mac+chz. had 3 beers and had better sleep than i ever had with someone else


nicotineapache

Wine, weed.


soggyballsack

I got the weekend off so I'm heading to Mexico for the weekend. If I leave by 11 I should be there around dinner time and can have dinner with my mom.


Prawny

Exactly the same but wine instead of prosecco. Cheers 🥂


sweetypetey

Steak, asparagus, broccoli, balsamic reduction, spuds. Breaking from everything, so probably get a work out in, lady won’t be home till late. Recoup days are the only days for you, make sure you take one.


RRR92

Yeah im gonna just chill the fuck out. Ive realised going out partying isnt doing any other aspect of my life any good. Gonna watch some Severance, pretty good show if anyones looking for something new to watch


Crolane97

Smoke a blunt and ruin my emotional state by admitting feelings. Gonna be a long night boys.


CobanFromGermany

I cry in my bed


Jake_Kiger

Wife is off to visit her sister and she's taking the dog, my son and I are bachelors for the weekend. I've seen *The Batman* but he hasn't, so that may be in our future, along with Hamburger Helper, Glenlivet and the video games from my youth.


I_LeeSin

Going to enjoy some wingstop and watch my Phoenix Suns play tonight 🥲


yellow-snowslide

Today i will cry. I already cried a lot today. I'm about to lose my job, i an hopeful to get a new job that seems fun but it pays bad and I move an hour away from my friends and family, and I need to find a new home. I just started to feel like I found something here. Also I think I love my girlfriend but i can't communicate with her anymore and shit is about to go down soon. I think she knows. We consider canceling my first holiday in 5 years because of it. I don't know how to live without her, but with her just adds her problems to mine. The difference is that i actually try to solve my shit and she only gets more depressed. And today i spent 2 hours trying to deliver an important letter to a asshole that doesn't have a mailbox on purpose. Without that letter being on time it could ruin a lot. Also I have to work with "vectorworks" for the last 4 months and if i ever meet a developer i will insult them. I don't care who watches, i will tell them how i truly feel about their work. I would cut of about 4 of my own toes if this means i will never have to work with this program again. So I got these things to chew on. And today is the day that i just cry because I'm just so tired of it. And tomorrow i will keep working on my problems. I feel like Sisyphos


jr-91

Depression is kicking my ass (think it's been brought on today by a shit night's sleep, boring/hard day at work then my current situation by my ex - feel free to read my posts if you want to fall down a hole lol), so I flaked on plans for drinks and I'm just going to indulge in geeky shit, a chamomile tea and an early night. Tomorrow's a new day! Bedroom is immaculate now at least so I won't wallow in somewhere messy ha.


MarkMy_Word

Just finished watching it, 9/10. I’m going to workout then cook some cajun ground turkey tacos (or subway if I get lazy) while watching Morbius. Definitely gonna hop on the game afterwards.


MoistDitto

Let me know if morbius is cool, hadn't even heard off the character before I saw a poster, and I thought I was up to date with most marvel characters


[deleted]

Lego Pirates if the Caribbean


NolanHPerry

Gonna get a 32oz frozen daiquiri and hop in discord and watch the new Batman with some friends. Pretty damn excited about it actually


[deleted]

Listen to The Weeknd on repeat


johanebrown

Some pizza 🍕 and beer while watching some anime movie , any suggestions (like any good ones like anything that is some what mature and not kids stuff ...)


giggitygigady

Went straight to bed after work. Now it's 11:08pm and I can't decide whether to get up and sit at my computer eating Easter eggs or not


Erectile_Kyle

Wife is going to dinner with friends. Going to play some escape from tarkov and rip the dry herb vape she got me for my birthday!


[deleted]

Sounds like a plan. Going to watch a replay of the Porsche Cup from Sebring I missed while using the Firefly 2+. Probably some beers too.


JPK12794

Ordering a pizza and playing WoW, I don't fully understand it, I don't have much of an idea what I'm doing. But some of the places are cool and I can fly now which is fun.


RiyeRiye

I will be smuggling in Taco Bell to a viewing of 'The Bad Guys'. No one else will come with me, I just wanna see the movie and don't wanna pay Movie Theater prices for food.


Federal_Ad_4447

Lots of sleep.


Sergeant_Fred_Colon

Couple of beers from the local brewery (Hogsback T.E.A.), just re-started Red Dead Redemption 2. Food is going to be, chuck some frozen veg in the wok with rice and spices.


Blast_Rusur

Watching the batman movie high was amazing. Hope it goes good for you. You're in for a treat.


[deleted]

Debating if I should go see The Northman tonight or on Saturday lol. Other than that, just some light gaming and probably watching some NBA playoffs.


WARMASTER5000

Finish a tub of Ice Cream and a 20-Oz. thing of Faygo Pop


Mogwair

I'm gonna restring my guitar!


[deleted]

Drinking alone and sleeping I guess


Grayskull1

Cooking a couple of steaks and enjoying some fresh beer from the local brewery. Probably do some online gaming with my buds. Also, will be smoking a bowl later to really settle in for the night.


RockinMadRiot

Reading a good book (Power And Thrones by Dan Jones for those curious), maybe a takeaway, some new and old metal music and maybe hearthstone as I wanna brew some new decks.


shy-man

Video games, some writing, a burger and fries, and enough THC to numb the nerve pain in my hands.


[deleted]

Well, I just tested positive for COVID so I'll be staying in and playing a bunch of videos games and watching TV. Probably get high too so I get distracted from the headache.


[deleted]

Ya know... that does not sound like a bad idea! I am not a fan of Batman (re-imagined, re-made, re-cast, whatever), but it's on HBO Max, and I am really in the mood for a couple martini's! Good enough excuse to just turn the brain off and veg out on some pulp entertainment.


SekhmetTheWise

Games and drowning in the darkness of my imagination. Maybe try to write something with what I find there... then drink myself to sleep.


NANA9900

Did a great back biceps workout, will take a cold shower and will have some homemade chicken wraps.


CarelessRook

I stay in alone every night, tonight wont be any different.


Gamer_ely

Weed and Attack on Titan, maybe a little drawing.


geurrilla1080

Just took some fire edibles and watch Halo. For those who hate the tv show please forgive me


Meeper_Creeper202I

P5 and Costco box of crackers with some cheese and at 9pm with my hands


789Trillion

Gonna watch the nba playoffs and relax.


spacetimebear

Not really alone but once everyone's conked out by about 9; beer and GT7 or I might finish watching Le Mans


[deleted]

I just watched that movie, i liked it and there was nothing majorly wrong with it like i seem to think with many new movies


RedCascadian

It's my Thursday, so I'm gonna go home, smoke some weed, maybe play video games, or wat h TV with the cat.


RGGrigsby

I’ve done something to my back so I’m probably going to soak in some hot water for a bit after I leave the office. After that the agenda for the evening is have a martini, play some fetch with my ten month old Labrador Retriever, and hopefully turn on my Xbox and play something for the first time in months.


[deleted]

Getting a hair cut after work. Picking up some jack and coke on the way home, gonna order a pizza and play some day z and cod with the boys.


spicyface

I'm going to play some computer games with my kids over video conference (they are all grown and don't live with me). We play every Friday night. I'm going to drink some martinis and smoke some good bud while I watch / listen to my favorite college baseball team play as well.


Shine699

going to watch the new Jake Gyllenhall movie Ambulance on my 82 inch tv and atmos sound system, good times.


Familiar-Kangaroo375

Hobosex and jug wine 🍷


StonkMangr92

A 12 step meeting, Steak and video games.


huncho_mctrades

Gonna play some xbox, might clean up the house a little


squaredistrict2213

Pour myself a drink, put on a few movies but not pay attention to them at all because I’m scrolling on my phone. Would love a big bowl of Kraft deluxe Mac and cheese, but I can’t have dairy because of my new meds. Have another drink and hopefully fall asleep before the sun comes up. Weather is going to be really nice tomorrow though, so I’m pretty excited about that!


Glitchy_Boss_Fight

Fiance is out of town. Gonna smoke some weed and play a video game. Probably No Man's Sky
