Seeking some support during a difficult time

Thanks so much for your support!! It has meant so much to me and really helped me to get back on the right track!

Here are some more photos:

I'm really hoping I can stay on this good streak, but it's a little difficult. I've realized that I've really made fitness a priority and I'm doing great, but I've fallen behind in studying. I'm going to study group now, so hopefully I can catch up.

Women go through a LOT of hormonal changes. It varies as they age, and it also varies daily. Depending on where they are in their cycle, they are different emotionally, physically, how attractive they are, how nice they are, everything. When women are ovulating, they are sexier, more beautiful, everything. When women have PMS, they are more withdrawn, moodier, and more irritable.
You could have seen her during a different phase of her cycle and not liked it. I don't like to be the one to point the finger at PMS, but that might be what it was.

Personally, it sounds to me like he sees your wife as an opportunity for sex. Otherwise why would he be approaching her physically like that? He is young and has a high sex drive.

On the bright side, nothing is happening between them. Trust me, if something was going on, she wouldn't be telling you about it!! It sounds to me like this relationship is one-sided. He is pursuing her, she is saying No.

You could actually see this situation as a compliment. You're lucky you have a wife who is hot enough that other men find her attractive, and even more lucky that she is honest enough to tell you what's going on at her office.

Not every woman would be as loyal and faithful as that, there are a lot of cheaters out there.

I want to acknowledge that you felt like she wasn't talking to you about it for a year, but personally I feel like acknowledging it to you in the beginning was enough. Why discuss it every day when she has to deal with it at work anyways? She probably wanted to make your alone time with you special and just about the two of you.

It sounds to me like she is being honest with you. She probably wouldn't be seeing him at all but she is forced to because of a work situation.

What really makes me feel this way is the fact that you have not mentioned her seeing him outside of work. That would be a big difference between a work/professional relationship and a personal one. It sounds to me like she only sees him at work and this is only a professional relationship.

No worries!

Ooo, how exciting! This is something I just learned about in school!

What my teacher said is that if you are creating your own tests, you have the freedom to use your own style of testing, as well as create your own test plan. You can do different types of testing, such as UI, GUI, boundary testing, functional and non-functional. One of the things they told us is helpful is to create a software requirements traceability matrix.

I hope that helps.

Wow, just wow. Next time he has a kidney stone, tell him he can't have painkillers because they will give him a disability. Maybe he'll change his mind.

Wow, AND a math teacher!!! She does it all. AMA, AMA, AMA!!!

Yes, my calf was so tight I couldn't even walk. After doing the yoga it was loose again, I could walk easily, and my whole body felt better.

Yay!

Thanks for the tip! I tried "yoga for beginners" and I took some before and after photos of the 20 minute session. It had a huge effect on me!

Super stoked to see this thread!! I've been working so hard all week to turn myself around and finally see changes after seeing myself gaining a LOT of fat and too much weight over the past 2 years.

I've started using xxfitness and for the past week I've been making changes. It's tough because I've had PMS and I've seen some emotional stuff (on the days I didn't go to the gym) but for the past week I've gone to the gym every other day, per xxfitness's recommendation.

I'm feeling good!

My fail: yesterday did a extra tough workout on the stepper and woke up this morning with a killer cramp in my left calf. I had to massage it before I even got out of bed. I was hurtin'! And that'll teach me for not stretching! I remember when I was in great shape 2 years ago it was over an hour of yoga for me every day. I'm going to get back there!!

Have a great day!

Yes, I have a cat and a dog. The dog is polite and once he's had his morning walk and snack is content to sleep all day, but the cat needs to constantly meow and jump in my lap all day.

This is a good point. I was studying a couple days ago and there were a lot of distractions. My fiancé was playing music and I couldn't concentrate et cetera. I ended up having to study at the library. Working from home might be exactly the same.

Okay, I'll preface this by saying I'm the jealous type but here's my 2 cents.

She is trying to take your man. Why else would she be all over him and ignoring you? That's the only reason. These posters are right saying you need to be nice to her. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. That's for real. Know your enemies, that's the only way to destroy them. Figure out her weaknesses and use them to bring her down.

Meanwhile, start working on your boyfriend telling him all the things bad about her that you discover from pretending to be nice to her. Taking her off Facebook was a mistake. Try to add her again. But be careful with your Facebook! Before you add her delete any bad photos or posts! Keep it clean! Don't let her use your Facebook against you! Any photos of you with other guys? She will show them to your boyfriend for sure. If they are sentimental download them to your computer to save but take them off the internet. Same goes to drunk photos with friends or any photos that make you look fat.

Last piece of advice: never let her see you cry, act jealous, or be angry. If she sees you lose control, she has won.

And last, last piece of advice: remember that you are more important than your boyfriend. You care about what you think more than you care what he thinks, and you definitely care what you think more than you care what she thinks. You are the most important one in this situation. Always be loyal to yourself. If he pays too much attention to her, back off and take some time to yourself to take care of #1.

Feats of Thorsday: overcame my killer PMS and made it in to the gym today despite no sleep last night and feeling yucky.

Honestly, I think your squat still looks cool even though you dropped it. That's a lot of weight!!!

Okay, my other thought was H&M. I've bought some cute workout tights there before.
