Dating after a Decade

In today's episode, we finally talk about the break down of my marriage. This covers basically everything up to August of 2019.

5/26/2020Hey everyone out their in the apocalypse, how’s it going?The world has changed since our last episode hasn’t it? Hope everyone out there is safe and living the best you can in a time like this. It’s been over 4 months since I’ve dropped an episode, Sorry, but I assure you it’s for good reasons, all covered in today’s’ episode.The Rebuild:The transformation I have gone through over the last year has been nothing short of insane. From a thirty something soft body in a loveless relationship struggling to hang on; into a now divorced guy in a budding new relationship, who seems to be on one of the luckiest streaks he’s had in his entire life. Not only folks, am I official divorced from South Carolina, but a day or two before I received my divorce decree in the mail I also received an offer on the house. I don’t want to get too excited about the house until papers are signed, but for the time being, everything is coming up Chuck.This week I go solo and discuss becoming who I am today. From a content stand point, it’s probably my weakest episode; there are no really insane or funny stories. That being said, it was one of my favorites so far to record and recall the times I had last summer. Those trips alone with Rose were absolutely magical, and gave me the time and piece of mind I needed to move forward. As things stand now, not many places are open to campers from out of state, and work and life in general have been hectic as is, but I look forward to getting out there again soon.I won’t really apologize for the length between episodes, because honestly I’m not sorry. I’ve been having a good time and just living day to day, and one day I just felt like recording. With the divorce now final, I will have some fresh content to drop for you very shortly I promise, and that doesn’t include the other 3 episodes I’ve written already. No matter my current relationship status, I am committed to telling this story at least until it’s current end. So until next time, whenever that may be, stay safe!-Chuck

1/23/20Yup, I am late, but the last few weeks have been awesome. In retrospect it makes this episode that much sweeter. Back in August when this stuffed happened, I was in my worst state post breakup. I was depressed, drinking heavily and really not doing much else. It’s no surprise that I attempted to latch onto anything back then, I was hanging by a thread. The way things are going now, I’m so fucking happy I didn’t rush into anything.We all have those times when we are feeling low, and starved for attention. We put ourselves in bad spots and push the boundaries of what we are truly comfortable with, in exchange for the attention of a perfect stranger for a passing moment. Sadly there are people that prey on people in just this type of situation. They are the worst kind of people, so insecure and caught up in their own shit that they use humans as playthings for their own entertainment. I am convinced that was the driving force behind Pocahontas’ dealings with me, fun for her but utterly depressing on my behalf.

Happy New Years everyone! Thanks so much for joining us again. Today is a very special episode, where we break from the normal story format to address some things that need to be cleaned up. Back in my day, we didn’t have these fancy social media apps, and its really fucking crazy how it’s used. Today we discuss the effects of social media in post break up culture, how narratives and context play a role in peoples interpretation.

Today I'm joined by two good friends and we get into some dumb talk and tell the story of the first time I was stood up.

I'm joined by two of my best friends for a fun game of Tinder Roulette, discuss if fat people have the best sex, and tell the story of Hairless. This is a fun story to look back on for me, because it starts to introduce what will be a reoccurring theme in these early episodes, desperation. During the early months of dating, it was summer, everyone was out having good times, and I was alone and depressed. When some rando chick would match with me, I would invest myself so much, just because someone was paying me some attention. To look back on, it’s pathetic, but understandable. Six months later, my view on dating through apps has completely changed, but at this point, I was convinced that every new match was Ms. Perfect.
