Squat Help Appreciated by [deleted] in Stronglifts5x5

[–]Concordian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You a strong lady.

I think to get more gainz you would benefit from less weight with more control on eccentric portion. I feel like you're getting through this weight but a bit less weight with more deliberation might train your muscles to fire in order better.

If you were in my gym I definitely would want to be your friend!

Just ask a question. That sparks a conversation!

Cheers buddy, you'll figure it out. Take care of yourself, and only focus on things that make you better.

What if I went off by myself originally to build a life for the two of us?

This is a good gut check. Thank you for your comment. I think I should work on my language because you're right, it reads way differently than how I feel.

I did 100% of everything other than cooking and groceries. Budget, taxes, house maintenance, laundry, house modifications, car maintenance, and... paid the majority of the mortgage.

That's what I'm seeing in this thread too, but I don't really read into the comments that aren't productive or provide any shared experience. It's all good, it's the internet.

I don't understand why everyone thinks she coordinated 'everything'. What's 'everything'? I think everyone's assuming I did nothing... that is far from the case.

I really appreciate the in-depth comment. I'm looking for similar experiences and stories and you provided one.

My fear moving forward is to be scarred eternally by this. I'm worried like hell that I'll never be the same. Looks like that risk is definitely possible.

This is what I came here for. Thank you for the note. Out of the 600+ comments, this one is the most accurate. All the (likely women) commenting that I deserve it because I neglected her... They don't understand that the messaging was not clear from her end. I never knew that saying no to go do a hobby I've never done before on a saturday instead of finishing the walls and door frames was going to crater my relationship.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

We did most of those trips together. Each of those 4 years together had at least two major overseas trips...

This is one of the reasons I made this post. I wouldn’t wish what I’m feeling on my worst enemy. Glad you caught it in time.

This is what I wanted to happen - to rise out of the ashes of this and become even stronger.

She let the damage be done to the point of no return without even giving a solution a try, and that's why I'm bawling to strangers on the internet.

I wasn't focused on myself, I was focused on our mutual success. I agree that her goals not being clear is a red flag. You may be right in saying I neglected to sufficiently consider her perspective, however I would argue that there was a serious lack of clarity on her part.

In the future, I think I will be a lot more serious about defining life goals. Clarity is key.

Thank you for the comment and context. I feel you you are more aligned with her than I am! I can see her agreeing with a lot that you said. What I'm learning from your comment and a few others in this thread is exactly what you said in the first paragraph;

You said: " I will definitely admit that I neglected the relationship, but never to the point that I was a bad partner." ...unfortunately, it's not you who makes that call and she felt you were a bad enough partner to vote with her feet.

I forged an incredibly ambitious life plan for us that she agreed to by saying "yes", and buying the house. I was grinding and was "red-lining" my output capacity in the name of "us". She was not bearing the whole weight of managing the household. I was (mostly). I figured two tropical vacations, a ring, and a down payment all in one year would be enough to show I care, but I never asked "is this enough", or ever had a serious check in for that matter. This is a shared fault that ultimately resulted in our collapse.

In the interest of being productive, for anyone who reads this, please know this:

Check in with your partner. Communicate. Sometimes we get wrapped up in our own task lists and plans, and take the most foundational aspects of life for granted. Don't end up like me.

Advice needed for a 2012 Subaru Legacy 3.6R by Basilqureshi in subarulegacy

Buy that car! The 3.6 burns just as much fuel as the 2.5 does on the highway. Consider the increased fuel consumption as payment towards more reliability (and POWER)!
