10 December 2020 EMERGENCY UNSCHEDULED Call-In

DEAR STEF:

I feel like a lifeless husk. My depression is hitting levels that I would consider peak. The constant thought of abandoning everything or even killing my self is taking the front of my thoughts like it has for years and years before but this time I have a 1 year old son. No progress in my life has ever slowed this feeling down, rather provided temporary relief. I make good money, I have been with my wife for 10 years, I can afford to keep her home with my one year old son, and I am valued at work. All signs point to a wonderful life, but inside I burn alive in rage, self hatred and self doubt. I tried therapy this year with two different people and I found them useless, to the point of evoking rage in me.

I am afraid the only thing holding me together most of the time is my work and right now its bad.

Now just to be clear, I am an alcoholic:

When work is bad, I drink, When my wife is gone, I drink, when I take care of my son all day and don't have the boobs he wants, I drink. When I say I drink I mean I drink 1 liter of wine or 100oz of light beer or 3/4 a 5th of vodka or a combination of all of it. I have the bloodline of high functioning alcoholics and it's a terrible curse. I can't count the amount of hung over days at work or the drunk fights with my wife. I can't count the missing memories because it's my whole adult life at this point. I am spending so much time and energy managing my emotions by ignoring them instead of dealing with the cause, that every moment of being sober without something pressing to do, is suffering.

So my question is: How do I stop self destructive behaviors so my son can learn what a healthy, happy father/man looks like and so I can live to see my grandkids?

Dear Stef:

I recently avoided getting into a relationship with someone who definitely has red flags and maybe has some virtues.

I met this woman when she was seeing a mutual friend. She and I became friends.  At my age there's always some level of sizing women up for dating, I didn't seriously consider it until, after I made a flirty joke, she sent me nudes I didn't ask for in March (red flag #3 at least).

Over the months I went over the idea, felt all sorts of emotions, had all sorts of thoughts. We talked/hung out a lot and went on a couple of vacations with other friends. There were a couple of scenarios where sex was on the table and I decided against it.

About a month ago, after reading some RTR, I decided to make a move by being open and honest with her about my thoughts and feelings: I don't want to just fuck her (and become another one of the guys masticated by her sexual meat grinder). I'm interested in dating, but I for sure see red flags, maybe some virtues, so the only way that would work is if we're both committed to growing together like the Painters in RTR.

She told me she'd think about it. I talked with friends, some said go for it, one who knows her said she's not relationship material, so when she suggested another vacation, I said we'd have to be clear on what our relationship was first.

She said she didn't want to date me, I said that was fine, but when we hung out a couple days later and she was super flirty/tried to have sex again and I got pissed. We hung out one more time after that and haven't talked since (this was a few weeks ago).

All that juicy backstory leads me to my question for the show: what are the virtues to look for in a mate and how can we, to the best of our ability, clearly identify them?

Stef's talked about the idea of looking for virtues in people a lot, it's in his definition of love, and specific virtues have come up in conversations and RTR here and there.

BUT, searching RTR and past shows, I haven't found one that's "here's the list," and I think having it in one place, along with some "signs to look for" would be helpful for all of us.

Dear Stef:

Lately, I have been feeling like I'm suffocating and not being true to myself. I work with a bunch of far-left maniacs and I never know how to properly express my beliefs to them when they are spewing their daily nonsense. The majority of my family is the same way, but we don't really talk much anymore anyways because I live 14 hours away from them and my hometown. Back in October, I debated Vaush, and as he would probably put it: I was "absolutely DESTROYED" by that commie. I feel like the main reason for this was simply nervousness to be talking to him on his platform. However, something that I noticed reflecting on our debate was the similarities between that conversation and the reason why I often don't engage in conversations with the leftists at work and in my family. I don't know how to have a discussion when so many people don't see eye to eye with me on the facts. Vaush and everyone else in my person life who I mentioned before are all so happy and willing to blindy follow the mainstream media narrative and accept it as the one & only holy grail of eternal truth. Vaush himself called me: "one of those alternative facts types) and said that CNN was neutral and unbiased. How do I get past this dilemma when I feel I'm so outnumbered? How can I speak up about my deeply held beliefs, when every time I do I don't seem to make any progress and end up being ridiculed by my peers?

22 November 2020 Call-In

Dear Stef:

I am more than ever in need to have a conversation with you, because I can't continue participating in society with my conscience intact. I am in a serious bind of what to do and have pondered it in great detail since I last wrote to you. I dealt with my family issues and other important stuff which I wanted to talk about with you back then. One thing remains and it is this: I have literally no one to talk to who is even close to be able to brainstorm with me my situation of the predicament facing me.

I can't live with myself living in a society that forces me to participate in acts against my moral conscience. Small examples are the Finnish state taking part of my spent energies' results (through taxation) and using it to murder unborn children. Or using it to fund all other kinds of activities like selling old military equipment to questionable Middle Eastern countries who fund terrorism, funding the welfare state that clearly does a very poor job of vetting who is in actual need of these funds, funding the growing government apparatus that clearly infringes more and more with censorship and authoritarian measures. The list is huge and I can't do this anymore.

The fundamental question for me has been: can I do something that is efficient enough to contribute to change in this society and see it actually changing so I could be a WILLING participant.

The more I've pondered upon this... the more I've come to the conclusion: no. There are so many reasons for my conclusion and I am overwhelmed and basically I wanna get out. I figured the only way I can do that is to live so they can't come for my taxes. I am too furious and appalled to be a forced participant in this system that I would rather choose to live in nature where the state can't force me to participate. I have been exploring these and different options for awhile and I am more and more drawn to stand my ground and say enough is enough. I will not submit myself to participate with evil because I can't live with myself anymore like that for long.... I will go insane and lose all will to be.

Contacting you is my last ditch effort to make a plea to for you to have a conversation with me, so you could maybe give me good reasoning why I should stay, for example, for the benefit to contribute to change. This is a big topic and I need help. I am open right now and every moment forward to have that conversation with you above all else. Nothing else matters more now.

Update: I want to add that I have a host of different "normal" life problems; like addictions, being lazy, immaturity and lack of self discipline and the list goes on. I am afraid that me being such a life loser might make a call with me not worth your time. I feel and rationalize that I have enough knowledge and resources and thus need to take responsibility alone to deal with my wide variety of personal issues. The subject of "to stay or not to stay" in society is the one I feel I need help to talk and think it through.

Freedomain Call-In 20 November 2020

Part 2: https://cdn.freedomainradio.com/FDR_4735_call_in_29_Nov_2020_wifes_lovers_son_part_2.mp3

Intro: What does it cost you if you're wrong?

0:22 - How do we stay sane in these crazy times? What do you do to have peace of mind?

0:34 - As I have gotten older my relationships have gotten shorter and my standards have gotten higher. Many of the women I have met or dated in the past don't seem to know what they are looking for. Since I have been able to achieve decent career success, it has been very difficult for me to be attracted to women who cannot be assertive. Part of life is asking for what you want after all. Am I being unrealistic to expect a late 20s/early 30s women to be upfront about things they want (i.e. kids) and be able to communicate that? What might I need to change to attract the woman that can be assertive about these important things? Any advice for a early 30s man looking for a partner?

0:58 - I recently made the decision to move across the country to join a small group of friends that I met through the show. I'm very excited to make the move and the prospect of having a community of like minded individuals around me. But I've also spent the last couple of days feeling overwhelmed about how to tell my younger old brother about my decision without hurting him. He has been one of the central points of my life for the last 7 years and I've done my best to show him what a loving, caring, connected, and non-abusive relationship is like. I'm terrified of leaving him alone with my abusive parents, but I also feel like I cannot put off my life any longer. How do I tell my brother that I'm moving without making him feel like I'm abandoning him to my parents, and how do I stop feeling so guilty about starting my own life journey?

1:18 - Am I evil? You said in a recent call-in that true evil is when you have wronged someone beyond redemption. I may have done exactly that.

I spent nearly nine years with my husband, growing together into better versions of ourselves. We both listened to your podcasts, watched your videos, and read Real Time Relationships together. We talked values, parenting, and had a golden ticket to a happy future.

Long story short, we corrupted our sanctity during a prolonged and dirty estate battle after his father passed. Fighting became more important to us than Real Time Relationships, and we reluctantly split up last year after we had both committed emotional infidelity and had enough.

Then, very soon afterwards, I had irresponsible sex with a man I didn’t really even like and conceived my son. I came running back to my husband at 34 weeks pregnant who accepted me with open arms.

Naturally, that didn’t last. Now, I’m feeling stuck in a house with a man who couldn’t care less if I never came home, and all my bridges are burned behind me. It’s really just me and my two month old son, who may never live up to his name if I can’t get myself together.

Obviously, there are pages of details that I’m leaving out, but I think you get the picture. So, the natural question is “How has this happened?”

I’ve listened to you since 2014-ish. I know better!

I’ve been digging and digging for months, and I’m thinking that self-erasure is part of my problem. I have no identity so I go where the wind blows. I am the chameleon that you frequently describe. I am whoever I need to be for others, and I don’t even know what my favorite color is because I have done such a thorough job of being a non-person. Is that what evil looks like from the inside? I feel an urgent need to answer these questions and be the person my son needs me to be.
