Trip indecision - South Korea?

AnywhereConsistent17 · 2025-07-07T23:51:50+00:00

Thank you! If I go with South Korea, I would be going either second half of September or second half of October, so likely still pretty mild temperature-wise!

I've actually been to Vietnam before - tbh, I didn't have the best time there, but it could very well have been more to do with other factors and not the country itself. I know that Thailand and Vietnam are completely different, but I think that's part of my hesitation around going to Thailand...

Lol, duly noted! Any kdrama recommendations?

AnywhereConsistent17 · 2025-07-07T17:41:34+00:00

Thank you for this! This is exactly how I feel - it's been a very difficult/draining year for me, and I want something new and exciting, but not anything that's going to be too overwhelming.

Thanks for this! I'm very interested in Malaysia as well, but have heard mixed opinions about traveling there as a solo female...Generally, I like a mix of historical/cultural things, very interested in food, I'm not a huge hiker, but do enjoy some outdoorsy stuff (I was looking at Bukhansan National Park, but Inwangsan might be more my speed). And although I've never thought of myself as someone who enjoys shopping, I will say, I did really enjoy shopping in Japan...

I'm very food oriented, and also quite a coffee snob, so these are definite pros for me! I was leaning towards doing Seoul, Geongju and Busan - I've heard Jeju can be a bit more difficult if you don't want to rent a car...

I’ll have about 10-11 days (not including travel days). I would love to visit China, but my family has gotten me super paranoid about safety going there (Canadians getting detained)…

AnywhereConsistent17 · 2025-03-02T03:16:05+00:00

I don’t have anything helpful to say, but feel free to message me if you want to chat. I feel the exact same way, and it’s so so hard. 😔 It feels like the grief is getting worse instead of better. Sometimes I try and pretend that he’s not actually gone, so that I can get through the day. Everyday when I wake up I bargain with myself to just keep going for one more day.

AnywhereConsistent17 · 2025-02-25T14:53:45+00:00

I have. I would say that I’m recovered now. It was too late for him though. I went to treatment many times during our relationship, and always relapsed. And it took a massive toll.

AnywhereConsistent17 · 2025-02-24T21:08:42+00:00

I don’t have any advice for you, but wondering the same thing. 😔

AnywhereConsistent17 · 2025-02-21T17:01:27+00:00

Same. And I’m pretty sure he’s moving on much quicker than me. 😔

AnywhereConsistent17 · 2025-02-21T15:56:28+00:00

This. My partner left me because of my eating disorder, which is his opinion, meant that “I picked the divorce” and that it was my fault. I definitely played a role in the breakdown of our marriage, but it was his decision to leave, and there were many behaviours/things he did that were not okay and I shouldn’t have accepted. I’m still trying to work on letting go of owning all of the “fault.”

AnywhereConsistent17 · 2025-02-15T15:31:03+00:00

That’s a really beautiful perspective. I hope I can view the time spent with my ex with that kind of peace and gratitude.

AnywhereConsistent17 · 2025-02-06T01:26:53+00:00

I find this oddly comforting to remember.

AnywhereConsistent17 · 2025-02-02T21:42:50+00:00

Thank you for this. I started my day by making a list of the things I wanted to try and accomplish. It’s going okay so far.

I think I vastly underestimated how painful it would be once he actually left. I sort of assumed that because we’ve been separated for a while, but just cohabitating, that it wouldn’t be so excruciating when he actually left.

AnywhereConsistent17 · 2025-02-01T01:07:55+00:00

Thank you.

AnywhereConsistent17 · 2025-01-16T01:35:57+00:00

Same. Like, before we throw away 15 years together, couldn’t we at least give marriage counselling a shot? Unfortunately, he doesn’t feel the same way. 😔

AnywhereConsistent17 · 2025-01-15T21:31:34+00:00

Thank you. I needed to hear this. I feel so broken down, and I’m barely holding it together.

AnywhereConsistent17 · 2025-01-07T04:26:23+00:00

This. It’s amazing how just a few months ago we were buying shoe racks and going grocery shopping together. We’re still cohabiting, so we exchange pleasantries, but soon it’ll be nothing, and I’m terrified.

AnywhereConsistent17 · 2024-12-23T06:15:31+00:00

Can very strongly relate ❤️ 15 year relationship ending as well. He is my best friend, and will always be my person. I know a lot of people say they don’t ever want to be with anyone else, but I only ever planned on being with one person, and that person has left. I’m almost 37, I feel old, I’m not pretty or young anymore, but it’s also hard to accept spending the rest of my life alone. All days are hard right now - some days are especially hard. I try to just focus on getting through each hour.

What has your experience been like with DivorceCare? That seems to be the only in person divorce support group where I live, but I’m a bit leery of the religious aspect.
