Ken Dodd can. Sang a song about it. Greatest thing he possessed apparently.Can anyone define happiness?
That’s not a definition.Content and with no worries?
That’s not a definition.
The short answer is no.... Family man with a large mortgage and a child in later life makes you feel crushed with the weight of responsibility to provide. Panic attacks whenever my mind switches to negative mode and I envy you the peace of mind you seem to have found.I am and mine is. Yeah there’s always room for improvement but I’ve got pretty much everything I want. Had a few crap things in my life in the last year but I’ve erased them. Accepted a new job with the home office this week that I wasn’t even looking for and more money so nice way to end the year.
Just was interested to see how people are feeling. Had a funny few years I suppose and it would be nice to hear if people are optimistic for the future. We tend to dwell a lot on what’s not going so well.

Can anyone define happiness?
Its not, its crippling but like any father you want the best for your children and so it is what it is.Makes you wonder if the mortgage is worth it.
Not for me to preach but that shouldn’t be at the expense of your own happiness. Also, your child wouldn’t know the difference between a £100k house and a £500k house.Its not, its crippling but like any father you want the best for your children and so it is what it is.
Sorry to hear all of that mate. At least you have Sunderland AFC flying high in The Premiership, eh? Ah... hang onI'd be satisfied with remembering what happy felt like.
In the last 4 years I've separated from my child's mother, my dad was diagnosed with a terminal illness and passed away, had to move away from Sunderland to be closer to the bairn and work which was followed by the pandemic. I haven't made friends with anyone here and friends back home/family never come to visit. Come to think of it it's 24 November and I'm still waiting for my first foot. Old friends have absolutely no desire to do anything more interesting than standing in an empty pub once every 3 months or so and there's been zero romantic interest since me and my ex split up.
On the plus side I have an ok job, my own home and an amazing son but if anything ever happened to him then I would choose to end my life.
I'm happy for everyone who is happy though
Nah, fuck that. Life's too short as it is. Each to their own tho.Its not, its crippling but like any father you want the best for your children and so it is what it is.
Aye, this. Just bricks and mortar in the grand scheme of things.Not for me to preach but that shouldn’t be at the expense of your own happiness. Also, your child wouldn’t know the difference between a £100k house and a £500k house.
Really difficult not to but try not thinking over things you’ve done in regards to the right choices they’ve been made and you can’t change them is how I look at it.Pretty good and happy really. And very much appreciate that I've had it quite easy compared to the life journey some go on.
We have two healthy and happy kids which is the main thing. Live in a nice house in a good area and live comfortably. But we have tried to fit too much in of late and need to slow down and concentrate on ourselves so making a few changes for next year for a slower life. Work is good but can be stressful and I'm not great health wise but slowing down and taking more time for exercise and wellness will help with both of those.
Still ask myself every single day if I've made the right big choices. I still think I have.
I'm happy for people if everyone else is happy and never really consider myself as a person allowed to be happy. To be honest I'm depressing myself writing this so will stop.Not for me to preach but that shouldn’t be at the expense of your own happiness. Also, your child wouldn’t know the difference between a £100k house and a £500k house.
This is interesting and it's because I over analyse stuff. If I look back over every decision I'd made I'd a) have the perfect life and b) be richer. On the flip side I wouldnt have been where I am now.Pretty good and happy really. And very much appreciate that I've had it quite easy compared to the life journey some go on.
