> I have a pattern of loneliness pushing me into making very foolish decisions.

What are you doing to foolishly solve your loneliness? Might give us an idea of what specifically makes you lonely.

When I get lonely, I talk myself into making decisions that are not smart. I know I'm making the decision irrationally but I feel helpless to do anything about it. It's like I watch myself make the horrible decision, knowing it s a horrible decision but doing it anyway usually because it'll provide some relief from the loneliness. The most impactful foolish decision I made is getting married to a woman I knew was bad for me.
