You know what? Just get out for a walk. Just wander around for a while. After walking around a bit, come back and take a shower. Alternate ice-cold water for 30 seconds then hot for another 30 seconds, 3-4 times. After that, do some exercises, like squats, push-ups and pull ups. Repeat this routine every day. A mood lift will be noticeable quickly. After you feel less depressed, don't interrupt the routine, but intensify exercising.

As a general rule, men feel great immediately after they "get away from that torturing relation". We feel, energetic, we might enjoy small things like a cup of tea served at a serene terrace in a park, thinking about all the great things we are about to achieve, We are motivated to do positive stuff. Then, the brain regulates the release of some neurotransmitters and lowers the density of some receptors, resulting in states of nostalgia and even mild depression. From this point of view, men are far more vulnerable than women. Most women are used to openly express negative emotions.
A week or two after the end of that "torture", many men become flooded with all the great moments spent with that girl. And so it begins. Now suffer! And lock them inside you. Depression, loneliness, regret. Like a prison for negative feelings.
Yes, I saw it happen with some men. It also happened to me.
So, after a break up many men seem happier while many women seem to express sadness and other negative feelings
Fast Forward 4 weeks or even less and most probably the man will have already started to slowly sink in the sands of regret and of loneliness, although his face does not give away, the usual.
The women, on the other hand, are already starting to put everything behind.

More than 4 years. I've managed to break free.
Nothing but normality: less than 3 years.
More than one year of struggle. I mean failed escape attempts, arguments, fights and more. Still, one positive thingy: make-up sex.
I want to do something. Rational or not. Naughty? Why not? Spontaneity desired, but not required, nor mandatory.
What would you suggest?

I thought that blotter had 130 micrograms of LSD. Obviously, it was more than 130.
My question: What was the real dose?

@willow
Is it something wrong, or am I missing something? It might be fake. The age, I mean.

Christopher Hitchens; unfortunately he is dead so my answer is Lawrence Krauss.

Spirituality, (as in religion, ghosts, supernatural and all that bullshit) is based on superstition, bred by lack of education and wishful thinking, and promoted by abject institutions like the church. Why would you bring up such nonsense? You question science but accept the existence of bullshit like the supernatural. One might think you are just joking. Are you?
What happens inside the grave? Let's keep it simple: a skull full of maggots doesn't sense shit!

@itsnix We do know that self-awareness, being conscious, are functions of our prefrontal cortex, functions that cease when that part of our brain is damaged or dies. "You" is also a function of your prefrontal cortex. So, you will not "sit there in the blackness of our coffin aware of everything that's happening". "You" will exist only in the memory of those who knew "you".

@shawn-roddey I do not believe that hate is felt by sane individuals under normal circumstances.

Male aggressivity manifested against his partner is likely caused by him wanting to break up while feeling trapped. Most males have problems expressing strong emotions. In some, this translates into aggressive behavior.
Probably your best option is to subtly give him more and more space. In the meantime, detach yourself slowly. Normally, he will realize that he wants you near, he might even feel anxiety and even mild depression. He will suddenly become affectionate. That's the moment you will be as cold as ice.
Unfortunately, It happened to me and I've seen it happen to other men.
My answer is based on my personal experience and that of others around me. It might not apply to your case.

@zoob I did not expect you to recover earlier than the 30th of July; of next year, of course, so your thoughts are still driving recklessly, That does not make me think you are a fool. I hope it's only a temporary and reversible disturbance. I wish you well!

@violetttttt

@kieran-14 Oh, C'mon, why would you say such a cruel thing?!

@im-bored You are really cute! For you, I might sacrifice my sexual identity. :wrestlers:

Oh, C'mon! You seem OK. Although some might think that you got bored walking the path of moderation. "Worship me or despise me", is that so?

Not much of a choice, I guess. I will pass. :puppy face:
