There needs to be more context to this story.

    We were working together in a different state; he kept talking about this girl we worked with; we got drunk at her place- some of us (me) drunker than others; he gave me a ride back to the house we were renting and then went back to the party; I was convinced he was gonna sleep with the girl, and was infuriated he'd do that to his lovely wife and their daughter; I got my pistol and was gonna shoot him when he got home; I was too drunk to chamber a round; our other roommate was there and wrestled the gun away from me.

    It's an insane bit of logic. "In order to keep you from ruining your marriage, I'm going to kill you."

    His wife ended up sleeping with her boss a few years later, too, so. 🤷‍♂️

    I just woke up so I can't formulate it, but there's some joke about chivalry having an extramarital affair in my presence.

    How about "How'd you know my roommate's name??"

    That's close enough for me.

    I don't know if I can ever truly be happy again. Not without a lobotomy.

    I've heard that lobotomy patients only seem happy, and may be trapped in a private hell.
    Least now things in your life seem bleak and immutable, but you've still got the ability to change things around you and yourself.
    Depression is tough, and I'm sorry I can't do more than say:

    Hey, that fucking sucks that you're hurting, I know what my pain is like, not sure if it's similar to yours, but I feel you buddy. Hope things get better soon.

    I think in terms of thought process, we probably have all the context available…
