Ennui

by The Mighty Duke on Sep 29, 2011 23:50:40

It's that "I can't believe THIS is supposed to be life-affirming"
ennui that makes you regret your tired existence.

Characterized by a deep sigh of dissatisfaction, it's that miserable feeling you get post-coitus where you realize you spent countless hours convincing yourself and some other person that this was going to turn out well.

Example:
"What's that feeling you get after sex?"
"What, you mean ennui?"
"Yeah that's the one."

"As she started to snore contentedly, I lay there confronted with a gnawing ennui, a confounding disappointment that crept up into my brain as I realized I felt nothing but contempt for the person beside me."
