So the fiancée and I basically fought the whole weekend and again on Tuesday night. Yesterday we decided that we need a break and she's gonna stay at her parents place for the next few days.

Been just depressed and generally unenthused about everything since. Didn't go to work yesterday or today (not a big deal-I'm a contractor and things are slow right now). Just been toking up and feeling lousy. Also, discovered yesterday that my 335xi has a problem. Every time I rev above 3500 RPMs, I get a yellow half engine error light and the boost feels reduced. Sigh.

Anyway, I decided that maybe a drive will help. Gonna take the M5 out on my favorite backroad and see whether that helps. I probably just need to get out of the house.

Anyone else do this when you're feeling down? Sorry for my rambling. Not sure why I'm venting my problems to a car forum. Oh well. Have some M5 pics and a shot of my garage which I finally cleaned out this weekend.

It sounds like you and your fiancée do need some time apart. I hope things will be better in a few days. Hang in there.

Sorry about your broken Beemer. Hopefully things will blow over and work out with the lady friend as well.

I recommend avoiding one of your favorite roads, and go find a new one instead. Don't forget the importance of playing some sweet tunes as well. Avoid country / rap / pop, and anything sad or talking about girls. Instead, go for something with a tasty groove and some extra crunchy guitars.

If you need someone to vent with, I'm pretty close to you. If it is something serious, I would really recommend a counselor. I would also recommend using terms like "it makes me feel ___ when you do/say ____" and basically phrasing things so that it doesn't seem like you are accusing them of doing stuff to upset you on purpose. I know it's generic conflict stuff but I find it helps, even if it's just a reminder in the back of my head not to say the hurtful versions.

Hey, this forum might appear be about cars, but never forget that this is a community (based around cars). Anyway, I did the same thing when my now ex and I were having troubles my freshman year. I know it's not the same, but just go out and clear your head and enjoy your ride. Best of luck!

Who cares about the 3 dude that M5 is gorgeous!

Good luck though, hopefully it can resolve itself like that.

Thanks man. Yeah, we're thinking about looking into some counselling.
