Reply To: A manly mans first time asking for directions.

Certainly best to give up cigarettes and beer during pregnancy, but I wouldn’t call this woman an addict. He did say after-work beer (singular), not that she got drunk. Miscarriages happen for many reasons. Since he mentions this, I suspect this is something that they fought about.

Why did he just leave the house to her?

Beyond that, once a relationship ends, best to move on and not dwell upon it.

Thirty-two is hardly over the hill. Still plenty of time for fatherhood.

Looking in the mirror and seeing a wreck at 32? What sort of life has LW been living?

Yes, therapy. Waaay too fixated on this ex. Way too hopeless about future. Find activities and people whom you enjoy. Date again. Branch out beyond being a manly man.
