Point 1 - Why not? We are here for each other. :)

Point 2 - Yep. Doesn't mean that we can't share your burden though. Cheers Dude! Hang in there. 8)
Truly heartwarming and humbling. It is amazing how much closer I am with you guys than the people I work with. :D

We reconnected platonically recently after more than two decades, and at one point she was downwind from me on a walk and went nuts. She’s the only person I know who has this reaction. My wife’s reaction is “You should take a shower.”
Too funny. My current GF and another one I had maybe 10 years ago both love(d) the way I smell after playing tennis or pickleball outside. Several others have been repulsed. It must be some pheromone thing.
When I was a teenager, I would throw my sweaty gym clothes on the floor of my room (yes, I was a slob), and our cat went crazy over it. She would vigorously roll around in the clothes while making these strange yowling noises that she never made any other time. So I referred to those sweaty gym clothes as her "catnip".

Pheromones can affect animals (including people) in strange ways.

Since we are getting weird here, I have a friend who could, by smell, tell whether a woman was having her period. He only got confirmation from his girlfriend, but he was always right. :D

Currently searching for my real life Kim Wexler.
So what is it about Kim Wexler that makes you think she would be a good life-partner?

Mostly tongue in cheek. I just happen to be rewatching the show and she and Jimmy are living together.

Is that a serious question? O0 It doesn’t get better than Kim.

Tongue in cheek aside, that's a good point. A stable, loyal, well-educated, and striking blonde lawyer? Yes please.

The final season is coming up and Kim was nowhere to be seen in Breaking Bad so what happened to their relationship? I see a train wreck coming.

Coincidentally, that's a description of my current GF, minus the lawyer part. 8)

If only she could cook. ::)
Lucky man! ;D

That's a good bet but maybe too obvious for the writers.

LOL. I know I'm not supposed to say this (you need to be happy alone before you can be happy in a relationship, yada yadda). But right now, I think I'd take a girl like that! :D

Smithers is evidently in the bargaining stage :P
You there, Ephialtes. May you live forever.

I hope they don’t do that to us. Hopefully she just leaves.

At the end of the latest season, I think it's becoming clear that she's farther along the "dark path" than Jimmy. She's going to be the one that leads them both to some kind of disaster. Maybe she ends up in prison.

If Smithers suddenly goes silent for a week, we’ll know he relapsed.

Either that or mixed up with another girl that's toxic. Either way you're basically spot on. ;D

i’m too lazy to get rid of cable so I will catch the newest episodes when they come out on AMC*. That’s where i watched season 5.

Don’t relapse, Smith. If necessary, just eat some emergency mooncakes until you go into a coma.

Late to this thread. Sorry, life has been getting interesting and busy for me (not your kind of interesting), but yeah. So I am just gonna second what everybody else has said. My sister works with the mentally ill professionally and she is emphatic that getting involved on a romantic/emotional level with someone with serious issues like extreme mental illness, active drug/alcohol addictions etc., is a recipe for disaster. You have learned a lesson with a lot less pain than might have been the case. Take a day or two to lick your wounds and have a stiff drink. And then carry on.
