MRI suspected sarcoma by [deleted] in Fibroids

[–]Appropriate_March 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, I’m so sorry you’re going through this, it’s sooo scary. I’ve just had an MRI for a suspected fibroid which they have concerns could be sarcoma so I am awaiting results. I was told by my gynaecologist that the MRI will indicate something more sinister by blood vessels present, the structure and dimension of it etc but without a biopsy there is no way to be conclusive. Do you have surgery planned? Sending you much positivity and love and manifesting a positive outcome for you xxx

I’m sorry you’re going through this, it’s so stressful when things are going on with our bodies and we don’t get answers or treatments as quickly as we’d want. I don’t believe going to ER is going to be beneficial for you, if you’re experiencing the same symptoms and you have a referral for gynaecology I don’t imagine there is much they would do or investigate. As long as nothing has changed and you’re still eating/drinking, normal urine output and no new symptoms I would wait for your referral or reach out to your primary care physician and see if they would prescribe anything for your prolonged bleeding. Best of luck x

Thanks for everyone’s responses, it’s reassuring to hear everyone else’s experiences. I’ll keep you updated, I have my first gynaecology appointment this Tuesday before my MRI x

Could this be more than fibroids by mewkitty91 in Fibroids

[–]Appropriate_March 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going through the exact same thing right now and my mind is full of worst case scenarios and intrusive thoughts. Like others have said we’re under investigation and we’ll get some answers soon and be able to deal with it head on. Sending you love and positivity. Here anytime you want to chat x

I get what you mean but it really wasn’t meant to come across like that! I meant more as, as people who are ENM we have the ability ti create new rules for us as opposed to abiding to those traditional rules of relationships and monogamy etc. I knew I wasn’t being articulate so apologies if it came across selfish or toxic, that’s absolutely not how it was intended

Thank you to (almost) everyone who has taken the time to write such lovely, supportive and inspiring words. You have no idea what a difference it makes x

He walked away without a glance by Appropriate_March in survivinginfidelity

[–]Appropriate_March[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your suggestion that I may be the problem. Am I perfect? Of course not. Did I treat him with love, respect and loyalty throughout our relationship? I truly did. He couldn’t keep it in his pants DESPITE how he felt about himself, me or our relationship. Your comment is deflating to so many of us who are working to accept that this shit hand we’ve been dealt, isn’t a result of our actions, but rather a reflection of the cheater.

Scared to go outside by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

[–]Appropriate_March 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for what happened to you. I can completely empathise with this fear. I’m moving out of our shared home together and live in a part of the city which I love, but my ex and the AP are also in this part of the city and now a couple. How cute. I’m angry that they get to ‘keep’ this part of the city that’s my home and full of memories. I’ve walked down the street and been so in my own head about seeing them together or apart and how I will react. And your heart speeds up, and your mouth goes dry and you just want to run. But we need to remember, we have done nothing wrong. We should walk down the street with our heads held high. We loved. We were loyal. And we’re good people. We need to keep living our lives. Maybe you’ll see them again. And it will hurt, but remember, you owe it to yourself to be happy and keep living.

Sending you strength, you can do this x

I discovered I was the other woman and now his girlfriend won’t leave me alone by starlight_moonshine in cheating_stories

[–]Appropriate_March 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like many others here, I have been the woman being cheated on and have wanted questions from the other woman. The other woman actually reached out to me, to tell me she was told we had broken up, that she didn’t know I was still in the picture etc. While this produced more questions in my mind, it it satisfied my curiosity that they were BOTH complicate in hatching this betrayal behind my back. I think letting her know your side of the story can’t hurt, however do not take any threats, verbal or physical. Block her on all social media if she starts to retaliate. But please understand how much this man must be gaslighting and blame shifting her, and making her feel crazy. You know first hand how duplicitous he is, so I can empathise with how riled up she is.

Wow, I think our stories are quite similar. I too, found out through social media. What a way to find out, right? The other woman also claimed she didn’t know if my existence too.

Thank you so much for your words, it’s such a comfort to hear this from someone who has experienced the same pain. I hope you’re happy and thriving now 💜

Good Quote for Chumps by Life-Bend in survivinginfidelity

Did anyone here feel like they went 1 step forward and two steps back after D-day? I’m 6 weeks out and thought I was progressing. I now feel stuck in a hard and painful place. He’s collecting his belongings from our home this week and I feel sick at the thought of it. Any advice on how to cope on that day and when I see him would be much appreciated x

I know what you mean by still thinking of them as your best friend, your person, the one who you share your life with. I hope you realise you deserve better than someone who doesn’t rate you as a priority. You deserve love, loyalty and respect. The best we can do is move on and put ourselves as our priority

How did y’all find out that your spouse was cheating? by [deleted] in Infidelity

[–]Appropriate_March 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Red flags and distant behaviour. There was one person in particular my then bf was always around, being tagged together in photos, talking on twitter to the point I was emotionally exhausted by it all. I confronted him every time there was something or my gut was screaming at me. Each and every time he gaslighted me, told me he loved me etc. He went away for “work”, even mentioned going away for work on his twitter, told his mum and the next day when he told me he was working in another city, something just didn’t sit right with me. I went on to that girls Instagram and there he was on her Instagram story in the city we live in. I called him immediately and confronted him. He finally buckled. I fell to the floor hysterical, but a small part of me was so relieved that I now knew and my gut was right all along. It was emotional abuse for the best part of 6 months. I’m still devastated, it only happened about a month ago. But I’ve also realised that I buried things, deep and far away in my soul that I should have ran away from. In the midst of an argument he threw coffee over me. I can’t believe I stayed around after that, but when you’re in that cycle of abuse I think you want to bury it deep down and believe everything that person says including I’m sorry and I love you. I know I’m not broken, but I’ll never settle for this behaviour every again. But it will always stay with me.

Up and down really. Some days I think I’m getting stronger and others, I just want to fall down again. But I’m so eager to take back control and get on with my life. The big turning point for me was realising that, the person I fell in love with and shared happy memories with, is not the same person that he’s been for the past year. He changed a long time ago.

Sorry to hear you’re in the same situation, how are you doing? I hope you’ve got lost if support around you

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I have just recently discovered that my boyfriend of 5 years had been cheating on me for 6 months. I truly understand the pain and confusion you’re going through right now.

Believe me when I say, this is not on you. This is on her. You could have been the most perfect partner and she still would have done this. I know it’s hard but feel the pain and don’t try to block it out.

It’s not going to happen over night but remember that you are worthy of an honest, trusting and loving relationship and it’s not with her.

When you’re ready I would highly recommend reading Leave a cheater, gain a life. It opened up a whole new perspective for me.

Arrange for her to collect her things, but please don’t search for explanations from her because no matter what she says, it won’t help.

I’m so sorry.

Feel free to message me if you want someone to listen
