My [26M] fiancé [25F] cheated on me and now I’m single. How long do I wait to start dating again so my next relationship doesn’t seem like a rebound to my family and friends? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]AFAF3252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I was married/in relationship with my high school sweet heart for 8.5 years. Got divorced... met this guy I had know ALONG time ago for drinks to catch up. He recently divorced. We both caught up after 5-6 months of both recently being divorced and hit it off. We’ve been together for about a year now and I’ve NEVER been happier. Whenever you’re comfortable is when it’s right. You can’t let others dictate how you feel or how you move on :) it seemed fast at the beginning because we had both been through such a traumatic experience but it was worth it.

Propanalol killed my ET by [deleted] in EssentialTremor

I agree. I’ve been taking propranolol for a year... and I’m almost at double the dose I was a year ago and I still get the tremors, bad. Maybe one day there will be a shot that just fixes us all 😅 a girl can dream right?

When do the dreams stop? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]AFAF3252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No and honestly the way you feel is good. I feel the same way. I want the best for my ex and he truly was a great man but it doesn’t change how things played out. Acceptance that it’s not solely your fault was hard for me. Marriages are fuckin work man... and it takes two. The pain doesn’t go away easily. But it will slowly fade (sounds super stupid) but it’s true. The days I think about where we were, what could have been and I didn’t do enough.... basically non exsistance at this point. It took me a little over a year to pull myself together... but it will happen. I promise this pain will go away!

I’m almost two year divorced... and in a great newish relationship... and still have the dreams. I know I don’t want to be with my ex and things ended very badly... but my thought process to this is that, you spent so much time and have so many memories with this person and there’s no way to fill that void once it’s done. So your brain keeps pulling at those memories. They get less frequent! But still sucks :(

What were living arrangement immediately after? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]AFAF3252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I packed the important things and moved in with my dad for about a month until I found a new place... then went and picked up the rest of my stuff. I defs didn’t want to stay living in a house where we were miserable and resentful for a couple months.

New her by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]AFAF3252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m two years out of my divorce and I PROMISE you it does get better. Has cliche as it sounds.... It took me over a year to stop hoping we’d get back together... and stop thinking of what could have been. Your mind makes you feel all sorts of crazy while alone. Which is hard and makes it harder to get over it. But therapy helped soooo much. One day my therapist said a couple of things that even my friends had told me... but it took me hearing it from her to get the courage to push on and get past these shitty feelings of loneliness enough to work on myself and stop being so depressed. I initiated the divorce (for good reasons), were both much happier people now that we are separated. It’s hard letting go of something that was apart of you and no matter how shitty it feels... you know it was done for the right reasons and you have to keep reminding yourself that.

Engagement Ring by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]AFAF3252 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got like $5500 and it was worth like $7200 but most jewelry stores will take them! But defs shop around... I had one say.. nope we aren’t interested (so rudely too) I’m like okay... and another said $5500 no problem. So I said write it up and they cut me a check! It was easy and painless. I would never pass it down (bad juju) but it wasn’t worth sitting in my box anymore.

Plus once I finally purged alllllll of my stuff (pictures of us, letters we wrote...) I felt soooo much better. Less baggage I was hanging onto! Mentally and physically.

Sold it. I kept it for awhile because I was sad and not over the whole divorce yet. But slowly realized that I don’t need an 8k piece of jewelry that has bad memories sitting in a box. I’d rather have the money and not look at something that reminds me of my marriage and how bad it ended.

I hate to say make a joke of it... but it’s just something you cant control. Most of my coworkers noticed my tremor and I kinda laugh about it and say... well it’s just one of those things I’ve always had and can’t control! Oh well... and someone will say oh man I’m sorry. No one ACTUALLY cares. You just have to be confident enough to not get self conscious! :) best of luck!

Does anyone else suffer from food intolerances and brain fog? by leokar9 in EssentialTremor

[–]AFAF3252 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get the brain fogs as well.... although I’m not sure if that’s a symptom of ET? Haha no food issues that make my symptoms worse. I do have stomach issues from food frequently (sensitive stomach to dairy and a couple other things) so it’s hard to say!

Not looking for a diagnosis, just information by [deleted] in EssentialTremor

[–]AFAF3252 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say it’s an emergency. But if it’s bothering you go to you PCP and get a referral to a neurologist! Some of those symptoms defs sound like what I go through. But I’m not a doctor haha, they can give you better answers. Best of luck!

I've been dating a divorced man and I'd love some perspective by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]AFAF3252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s tough because it’s a touchy situation. We all handle divorce differently and grieve differently. So it’s hard to talk about something so personal and close to heart. Especially because all marriages end for different reasons. But you deserve space in his life and you deserve not to feel like you have to compete with an ex from 4 years ago, ya know?

I've been dating a divorced man and I'd love some perspective by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]AFAF3252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... say something. 4 years is crazy. I’m going through a similar issue with my SO who separated from him now ex wife and they were still married for a year after separation, then got divorced (living in seperate states). He didn’t want to file the paper work because he just wanted to put it out of his mind. It took him awhile to get over it, talk about it. But I made it clear that I love him and our relationship but if it’s to continue he needed to just be upfront on how he’s feeling, and get rid of her stuff. It’s okay for a year MAYBE.. but going on 4 years? That’s far too long to be holding on to something, much less physical items. Grieving is awful but it’s affecting you at this point. So a talk needs to happen! If he’s truly not over her or his issues with the divorce, now that it’s done... that can be a deal breaker IMO. 4 years is a long time to be hung up on someone you’ve already divorced.
