80s. I was in college and grad school. I felt safe under Reagan. And I liked the music.

After 2001 it was all downhill, I started to think I’m in some kind of panopticon Since September 2001.

The only good thing about this millennium is I met my soul mate, and the suckiest thing is I lost him last year. It’s been really sh***ty since last May, and I don’t think it will get better until Covid goes away.

70s and early 80s for me.  Paid for my university education, had great experiences, fell in love and got married, and had my first child.  I was living my dream, working hard and enjoying my family.

But all those good memories went to hell in a basket.  When you are married to someone that has mental issues, and they refuse to see the problem, it is amazing how quickly everything fall apart.

So sorry!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

Perhaps seek counseling; if she doesn't want to join in, perhaps at least get some help and advice on how to cope for your own mental health and piece of mind.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

   According to my ol lady Me not wanting to marry the cow, cause the milk was already free, was what drove her crazy. 
   I miss her, hope she gets out of rehab soon.

@libertybele

Odd way to say "run for your life!",but I guess it all amounts to the same thing.

There really AIN'T no fixing crazy. It digs down to the bones.

Each decade had its pros & cons. Prefer to dwell on the pros, with the cons providing a bit of nostalgic comic relief.

I even like today, although the rats are effing everything up.

So ... when she gets out of rehab are you planning to put a ring on that finger?

   Actually @libertybele though she blames me for everything right now, even her Ford being found on road dead (never worked on it), I would marry her, if she'd only pick herself up by the bootstraps (like I did so often in my life).
   I know she's a strong women and we connect on many levels, more than just sexually, she just lost her way after her parents and little sister died a couple of years ago and climbed into a bottle.  The Good Lord knows I tried to help her, yea I'll admit sleeping her meth head whore younger daughter(28yo) didn't help things but she really needs to overlook that $hit and concentrate on recovery right now.    :shrug:

...hmm.... some people don't handle tragedy well.  My nephew's wife lost her mother several years back and climbed into a bottle and still hasn't found her way out.  She has two kids by a previous marriage that she left behind and one from this marriage.  Very sad.

I sincerely hope your 'Ol Lady' recovers and things work out for you.  Prayers up.

   Thank You @libertybele I hope for the best for her also, so far (2 months) the signs are not encouraging. 
   Hope eternal overflows though.

   It's certainly not lost on me that the main problem, currently, is:
