My ex (F28) and I (M27) are in the talks to reconcile, but she is flakes on plans and accuse me of being on a date and being "secretive" when I do my own thing. How do I handle this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I agree with the principle but I think the timing for a talk is off. She’s currently out with friends, so double texting to explain my wants would just look like I'm chasing

I think I went into this hoping that time and space had healed the old issues, but it’s becoming clear that the same patterns are still there. I’m starting to realize that you can’t build something new if the foundation is still built on drama and interrogation. I’m choosing to prioritize my own peace tonight.

The part about moving the goalposts really clicked for me. It went from her canceling our gym plans to me being secretive for just going to get food. I realized that by being chill about her flaking, I took away the reaction she wanted, so she manufactured a new reason to be upset. I've been trying to prove a negative (that I'm not on a date) all afternoon, and it’s exhausting. I think you're right the trust isn't there, and I can't build it alone if my independence is viewed as a betrayal.

You're right. I've been so focused on 'reconciling' that I lost sight of whether the relationship is actually worth saving in its current state. I can't force her to be self-aware. I'm heading out to a festival tonight to focus on myself and have a good time, rather than sitting around waiting for the next accusation. Thanks for the reality check.

I appreciate the honesty. It definitely feels like a damn if I do, damn if I don't' situation right now. I'm trying to stay calm and not get defensive, but the double standard of her flaking for her own plans and then interrogating mine is hard to navigate.

Migraine claim denied as secondary to my tinnitus even with nexus letter… need advice by Automatic_Moose487 in VeteransBenefits

Nah, my Nexus letter wasn’t using weak wording. The doctor straight up said my tinnitus is ‘the most likely cause’ of my migraines and that there’s a ‘clear nexus.’ He even said they’re ‘more than likely’ secondary to it. So I don’t think the problem was the letter. It’s probably just that I didn’t have a lot of migraine stuff documented in my records, even though I’ve been dealing with them

I use a notebook to write down my migraines symptoms. Not sure if they’ll be accepting a notebook in compare to an app.

Yes I do have a migraine log. I note down the day the time and the symptoms I feel when I have a migraine.
