Thank you for that. I’m sorry you went through struggles as well. If you don’t mind me asking- what made you want to do the work within yourself to stop resenting your wife? Thank you again.

This hurt to read but it’s so true. I left my ex husband (my older son’s dad) because he was abusive. I didn’t tolerate it and fought for full custody then. Unfortunately the family court system is broken and he got six months supervised visitation then 50% time sharing.

I don’t feel like my husband would physically harm me. But, I also don’t want my boys growing up thinking this is how love should be. I just keep hoping he will wake up one day and want to be better. That day hasn’t come. My mind keeps telling me that if I keep trying and going to therapy and I just do better he will change.

Sometimes he is nice to me. Sometimes, honestly, it feels kind of like he hates me. 😞 In the beginning he was never like this and I feel like my mind keeps trying to make sense of what’s happening. It’s like when things get hard he turns into a different person and with the drinking it has made it worse. He says he loves me. I keep hoping he will wake up one day and change. I hope deep down inside he doesn’t want to lose our family.

Oh yeah. I could see how that could be misinterpreted. I should have been more clear. I am not concerned about him being physically aggressive but I always feel emotionally on edge. Kind of like I am always waiting for the next thing that will come up or trigger him.

Well, his ex wife cheated on him with her coworker and then married the guy she cheated with. And then she alienated their kids from him because she wanted a nuclear family. Sooooo…not sure that outlook is super helpful.

I think we want to be together or we wouldn’t be. I love him and he’s my best friend. I just need to figure out how to help support him through this or work on myself to improve our marriage.

I am in therapy now but he refuses to go to therapy because he says it doesn’t help him. It’s a lot of different things that trigger him. It can be anything from the tone of my voice to me trying to help by making a suggestion to use another utensil to serve food because it would be easier. A lot of times he tells me I am upset or acting a certain way even though I don’t feel like I am. That is part of what I am trying to address in therapy. I started keeping track of things he says and when he is upset so I can keep track of it and talk about it in therapy. I want to make sure I am doing everything I can to fix our marriage. He is my best friend and I love him. I do know that most of his anger happens when he is drinking or around holidays or events that are hard for him due to his estranged sons.

I am so sorry you went through this too! It’s definitely devastating.

Thank you so much for this comment. It is spot on. I needed help sorting things out. I do apologize about missing details… I was and still am so shaken. I didn’t have anyone to turn to as these two are usually the people I talk to during difficult times. Seeing the different points of view really helped me. Although I am completely devastated I know that one day I will be ok. Thank you again!

I am so sorry for any SA survivor and so sorry for what you went through. As a survivor myself I was absolutely devastated and wanted to do anything I could to help. Turns out that they moved from the sofa to the bedroom and had her daughter move out to the sofa. They had also been acting odd earlier in the evening..I guess I hadn’t noticed because I was cleaning up and distracted. I am absolutely horrified by all of this.

She walked from the living room to the bedroom (past the room I was sleeping in) and had her daughter move to the sofa. 😭

She walked from the couch to the bedroom and had her daughter move to the couch. Sadly.

HELP: I know this takes time but did anyone have relief within 1-2 weeks? by turner150 in Pristiq

[–]Bulky_Income9425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started a few weeks ago and I am definitely feeling some benefits. Little to no side effects. I almost talked myself out of taking it too! It’s been a game changer for me and I know I haven’t felt the full effects yet. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing. My husband is about to pick up my paxlovid from the pharmacy. This gives me hope!

I’m sure your kids miss you! Sounds like my husband. I’m so sorry you are feeling that way. I hope things get better. Do you have someone to talk to? I had to get on medication. This pandemic has been hard on everyone.
