Matt, usually. Then I recently had a crisis regarding Matt and I went to my best girlfriend, Anna. If it’s scary adult shit I still go to my mom and dad.

Yep, mostly myself. I have one amazing good friend of over 10 years and my daughter but really, we all walk alone through the hills and valleys of our life. I don’t like complaining and I don’t want to over burden anyone. My one good friend and I share a great relationship, we are good listeners, supportive and non-judgmental. I have found that most of the time when you share stuff with others they want to jump in and give advice or tell you their opinions.

If I don;t ask for your opinion I don’t want it. I loathe the ” let me tell you what you should do” types. Just support me, let me share my feelings/thoughts and offer practical help, and keep your armchair advice to yourself.

My wife first and foremost. She knows me better than anyone and always is a good listener. For a second opinion especially about work related “crisis’s” I will give the old owner of this company. He has put out more crisis fires than the next ten people I know.

It depends upon the crisis. It takes a village of individuals with specific talents to advise on how to solve the hurdles that crop up.

It depends on what the crisis is. If’ it’s something that’s bothering me, sometimes I’ll keep it to myself for a few days and see how it works out, if it works out on its own. If it’s a problem that needs immediate help, I have a few neighbors that I can call and a friend who does plumbing and stuff like that. If it’s a work issue, I have a coworker that I trust and a former coworker that I trust who can help me out of a work jam.

Myself. Along with everyone else.

It must vary with the crisis. I’m much more likely to be sought after to solve someone else’s crisis, but I run to the wife for the domestic conundrums, particularly cooking disasters and mishaps.

Why the hell aren’t we all going to each other in crisis then???

Trust no one. Especially not humans.

@Dutchess_III I’d rather ask an online friend for advice in a crisis, over people I’m around with. But the first person is always myself

My husband. He is the person I am the closest to. He is understanding, supportive and actually listens.

If I can’t handle it, my husband can.

My husband. He’s very wise. When I am too close to a situation to be able to clearly see what I need to do, he always gives me good guidance.
