    About Me

    I am currently the technical manager and lead technician for a large amusement and vending firm in Michigan. I also run a small computer repair/consulting business out of my home. I am also getting ready to start back to school soon in a field that is yet to be decided. I am very close to my family and have a close knit group of friends I've had for many years. I do a lot of reading about just about anything and spend a fair amount of time trying to learn my way around a new town.

    Interests

    Reading, Long walks, Time spent with friends and family, making new friends, the occasional pint and my favorite nearby pub, coffee shops, computers, I'm a huge movie buff, Anything Irish or Scottish, Music, Any kind of live show (plays, concerts, ballet, basically anything in while the performers are extraordinarily talented), animals, and boating to name a few.

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      After telling me she 'needed some space' only a week before Christmas my wife then moved into her parents house and said she would call when she wanted to talk. The call never came though I attempted to open up communication a couple of times and was usually ignored. Finally after 2 months she agreed to meet me for lunch so we can talk. And without pretext or anything simply Says "I don't think we have anything worth saving and I want a divorce" Nothing I could say made a difference.

      Treatments

      Pets Working / Worked
      I got a cat to help keep me company. My wife and I had a dog however the place I moved into wouldn't allow him or I would have him. It's nice to have another creature in the house to keep you company. She seems to listen when I need to talk.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Just started and seems to be working for the moment.
      Reading Working / Worked
      My cousin, who also went through a nasty divorce, gave me several books that were helpful for her and I have started reading them and they too seem to be working.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      It is therapeutic to talk to family and friends. Though most often their advice isn't any help (unless perhaps they've been through a divorce) its nice to talk to people who are interested in your well being.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I've been fairly open about whats been happening. Talking helps even if I'm just talking out loud to myself in the house. Things seem more clear when said out loud.
