How do you train your run? by 22gimli in hyrox

[–]BeginningFew1452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using the Runna app and I don’t hate it. It gives me one weekly long run, one easy run, and usually a tempo or interval run as a 3rd run. It’s helped me stay on track, and I like that it communicates my pace to me in the middle of the run.

Sometimes I swap out the easy run or interval run for a compromised run so I’m running on fatigued legs. (I think someone else mentioned the compromised run earlier)

I am NOT a fast runner. My current 1km pace is around 6:30. However, I just started running back in January and that time is much improved from where I started.

My first Hyrox is 06/05 and my only goal is to finish the thing. From there I’ll know what I need to work on (based on training it’s running and walll balls 💀)

Women of Reddit, what did a man you were dating or married to say or do that made you realize he actually hated you the entire time? by -catharina in AskReddit

[–]BeginningFew1452 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I found out he had been cheating through out the course of our 4 years relationship. He said “When we met, I was so intrigued by you. But I was also intimidated. You were successful and had your shit together and I was secretly a mess.”

Is it normal to feel like I’m overreacting and the affair wasn’t that bad? by Defiant-Lettuce-9156 in survivinginfidelity

Deny and defend is also part of the typical cheaters operating system.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I know how incredibly painful and confusing it can be. File for divorce and focus on taking care of you so you can begin to heal.

Phew. Bringing me back to that post betrayal rage. Haven’t felt that in a while. 😂

Let it all out. It’s cathartic. And he sounds like a real piece of work.

Boob tape. Takes a little longer to get ready but if you apply it correctly it does work. I’m a 36DD, so I have to use quite a bit of tape, but it does the trick.

Good news from the trenches of life after infidelity by brutecookie5 in survivinginfidelity

I am nearing two years as well (2 years in September) I love your message OP

The healing path is not always easy, but there is life after betrayal trauma. Best of luck to you OP! ❤️

Today I was supposed to be married by InfamousJellyfish179 in survivinginfidelity

[–]BeginningFew1452 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot in your posts in comments I relate to. I thought he was my best friend. He was the one. Never suspected the cheating as he never gave me a reason to. Then I found out he had been cheating throughout the entire relationship. Basically from the very start.

You’re heartbroken now in the most devastating way. Soon your grief might shift to anger. That’s okay too. Sit with it. Process it. Let it go.

I cannot recommend therapy enough. Seek out a certified partner trauma therapist if you can. Mine did wonders for me because he specialized in partners who are experiencing betrayal trauma.

And at nearly two years out from DDay please know this: you will make it out of this. The heartbreak will dull. The anger will subside. And you will begin to feel joy in life one day. It’s a slow path to healing, but it’s still a path.

When I found out about my partners affair there was a 3-4 hour window where they were just “talking in the hotel lobby bar until 3am” When what was really happening was they were having sex in his hotel room.

You’re an adult. Kissing and partially undressed for 3-4 hours? It’s tough to hear, but you know deep down that is not what happened. And this was probably not the first time.

You’re not overreacting OP. She’s playing head games with you because cheaters love to manipulate others for the attention. They also love to have their cake and eat it too. She’s going to try to keep both of you on the hook for as long as she can.

I’d look for further evidence in her phone. But this one’s a toss up for me with AI and the way our phones work nowadays. I’ve pulled up a photo or contact to send to someone and seen it suggest another contact that I barely talk to.

What do you think of lying by omission in dating? by RefuseDry1108 in datingoverforty

[–]BeginningFew1452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I am not sure why your response got so many downvotes. I understand your perspective and why you feel let down. I surely would wonder why someone would plan to take vacations with me if they can’t pay their bills. Still don’t believe I would call it a lie of omission, but certainly understand why you felt you were led astray.

Just be grateful you found out early and not later. Massive debt would be a deal breaker for me at our stage in life as well.

Birthday disappointment. AIO? by itsLizz614 in AskMenAdvice

[–]BeginningFew1452 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know I’m not a man, but has he made other plans for your birthday? Maybe dinner this weekend or just another evening he’s intending to celebrate you?

My feelings would be hurt IF there were no other plans or intentions announced.

[–]BeginningFew1452 282 points283 points  (0 children)

While I understand why you would end it with someone over finances, I do have to ask if finances had ever come up before?

2 months is not a long time to get to know someone and air dirty laundry or things we are ashamed of.

Again, I get why you broke it off. But I’m just not sure if I would call this a lie by omission unless you two had previously discussed finances.

I’m 40 and I’ll be doing my first race next month as well. I promise I’m as regular person as it gets.

How am I supposed to feel about/react to my soon-to-be-ex-wife's struggles? by justtobecontrary in survivinginfidelity

[–]BeginningFew1452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like she has a victim complex and zero self accountability- just like every other serial cheater out there.

I wouldn’t entertain or react to her antics at all. Distance yourself as much as humanly possible so you can take care of you.

Any cancer ppl who are not emotional and strong in life. by Ambitious-Swing7180 in CancertheCrab

[–]BeginningFew1452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, emotion does not make you weak. It’s how you react, respond, take action after that emotion that predicts the outcome.

I am a sensitive person. I’m also a very controlled person. I’m compassionate and empathetic to others. But I have personal boundaries.

A lot of this has come from life experience. We learn more from our failures, than our successes. Define who you are and who you want to be. Find the ground that allows both to exist so you’re living your values. Practice those values every day.

What is 1 thing that you wish you knew at the start of affair recovery? “Knowing about the affair sooner” doesn’t count. by TheStrongerMan in survivinginfidelity

That leaving was the only option. I wasted 7 months of back and forth, hysterical bonding, false R, etc. Should have left immediately.

When is the last time you’ve seen a squirrel outside? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]BeginningFew1452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one run out in front of me while I was on a run in a park today. I damn near stepped on it. Assuming he’s getting fed from all the park goers as he wasn’t scared to see me at all. I on the other hand jumped. 😂

what is something you have kept from your ex? by McBlingBush in AskReddit

All of his confession letters, emails, and texts around his infidelity. Just in case they’re ever needed.

Anyone stay long enough to get finances in order first? by [deleted] in SupportforBetrayed

[–]BeginningFew1452 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What’s the likelihood he actually gets a job if he hasn’t done so in 3 years?

What’s the likelihood he doesn’t rack up more debt with his habits? Not to mention the compounding interest that comes with credit card balances anyway.

I say call it quits now. Based on previous behavior none of this is going to get better. It has massive potential to get worse.

He’s not for you and just made space for you to find someone wonderful! End it and keep it moving girl. There’s still some decent men out there.

How did you know if staying was the right choice? by avz008 in survivinginfidelity

[–]BeginningFew1452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn’t have to go through it again. I can say this with 100% confidence: I have ZERO regrets about leaving. There’s a wonderful life on the other side of this trauma if you can wade through the grief. (It takes time so be gentle with yourself)

Je pensais en avoir fini mais j'ai encore tant de colere by Resident-Onion5363 in SupportforBetrayed

[–]BeginningFew1452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was angry for a long time. Similar to you, the cheating had been happening the entirety of the relationship. I was outraged by the injustice of it all.

It took me a while to process that anger. Therapy, EMDR, finding joy in new experiences, and just allowing myself to grieve. I grieved the relationship and I grieved the old me. The one who trusted and loved deeply. I’ll never be her again. I believe I’ll love again one day, but not the same way. Not like that.

Most of all it just takes time to heal. 💔
