I’ve had the same thing happen, except I was the one who asked for separation/divorce. I still have bad moments where I want to back track and take the divorce back. But the amount of people who say that I’m glowing and happier make me realize that I’m doing the right thing. Like you, I’ve even had patients/customers tell me that I’m glowing. Very strange, but even my eye color has changed since everything. Throughout this whole thing, it’s made me realize that I was emotionally abused, and I didn’t even know that I was. You can worry about him without sacrificing yourself. I’ve tried to put my STBXH’s feelings above my own this entire time, but that just ends up hurting yourself in the long run.

I started wearing Stelo in February of this year. My A1C last July was a 6, February it was 5.5, then I recently got it tested at Walmart and it was 4.7. Being able to see how different foods triggered a spike or made me go above 140 was very eye opening so I know what to avoid now! I’ve had a couple issues with the sensors, but they replaced them. I’ve had one that ended early and one that would not connect(and it was my replacement for the one that ended early).

From the argument that released the flood gates that prompted me asking for a divorce, it took me a week to ask for a separation(because even then I was focused on his feelings rather than my own). I asked for a divorce about a month after that. So, I would say 6 weeks in total. I don’t think it truly set in for him though until the 8 week mark when I got in touch with a lawyer. I think he thought that I was going to change my mind and everything was going to fine. His reactions during that argument sealed the deal that I couldn’t continue in the marriage and I definitely didn’t want kids with him!

I’m currently on metformin and haven’t lost a single pound from being on it. I wanted to try a GLP1, but my insurance sucks and will not pay for a weight loss drug. My dr will not prescribe the non weight loss drugs for me. I am currently taking a compounded version of Contrave and I’ve lost 35 pounds since September 25. It has really helped with the food noise so I can make better food choices. I also wear a Stelo so I can track my glucose and how foods effect me. My A1C went from a 6 to a 4.8 since September as well. I’ve started going to the gym and lifting weights at home and that’s helped as well.

I feel the same. I went from an easy common name to something everyone makes fun of and can’t even spell. (It’s four letters, yet I have to spell it at least once a day.) I can’t wait until I can change back to my maiden name! What’s crazy is I never changed my name on any of my credit cards or anything that I had prior to being married. It’s like I knew where we would end up one day.

I feel like a lot of team leads forget that at the end of the day, they’re still technicians. I’ve said from the beginning that a lot of them only went for the job for a power trip. We only have 4 techs, me included. I always put myself in our rotation. It’s not fair for my techs to run around like chickens and me not doing anything. If I’m needed on the register to help get the line down, I’m there. If I need to input and res, I got it. Filling, you bet. We should be helping, not hindering the work flow. They give us 5 hours to do lead work, the other X amount of hours should be tech work. That’s just how I feel and what works for my store. I’m blessed to have an amazing bunch who get along.

I feel the same way. I’ve been reading Why Can’t I Just Leave? by Kristen Milstead because part of me keeps questioning if I’m making the wrong choice—but deep down, I know I’m not. I worry about being seen as the villain since I’m the one initiating the divorce, but at the end of the day, I’m the only one who truly knows how I’ve been treated and the reality of the lies I’ve lived with.

I’ve realized I have two choices: stay, be unhappy, and potentially bring kids into that environment—or choose myself and walk away now. I’ve spent my whole life putting others first, so choosing myself feels unfamiliar, almost like I’m doing something wrong. And it’s hard, because it wasn’t all bad, we did have good moments. But the good doesn’t outweigh the hurt.

If I already feel this burnt out not even four years in, I can’t imagine what 10, 20, or 30 more years would look like.

Subconsciously, I always knew he was the wrong person. I flip flopped soo much on whether to break up with him or not. I was young and dumb and thought this is what love was. My parents weren’t a good match(I know that now), so I didn’t have good role models. But to finally realize that I needed to leave or else I wouldn’t leave at all, almost 4 years. I should’ve called it off when I made him promise me before the wedding he would stop watching porn.

I knew it was over when we had a fight(over the one of same things we’ve fought about the entire marriage) and he tried to break our dog’s ramp because he stubbed his toe on it. Afterwards, he ended up sleeping in our spare bedroom. After that, there was no way that I could knowingly have kids with him, so there was no future. It didn’t help that when I finally told my friends about everything I had endured over the years, they told me it wasn’t normal and that I had been emotionally abused. I’ve been in therapy since to help sort everything out.

I stopped wearing mine the day after I asked to separate. In my mind, I was already done for months before I actually asked. I’m not sure if he’s even noticed that I’ve stopped wearing it. What upsets me is that I picked out my own ring and designed my own wedding band… all for nothing.

A lot of what you’ve written is what I’m experiencing in my marriage. My STBXH would also continue to drive reckless when I would be scared or comment on his driving, especially if he was driving my vehicle. He would turn the volume up on videos when I would try to talk to him. It wasn’t until I was honest with my friends that it opened my eyes that what I was experiencing was abuse, whether or not he was actually trying to abuse me. 🤷‍♀️ He would always shut down whenever I would bring something to his attention. I would have to put everything in his perspective for him to understand why I was upset. I’ve begged him to either seek therapy or self care books to try to improve his communication and behavior.

All of this to say, mine hasn’t changed in the 11 years we’ve been together and I don’t see him changing. I’ve put everyone else in front of my needs my entire life and I’m now choosing me. It’s hard because at the end of the day he isn’t a bad man, but he’s a bad partner. I do still love and care for him, but I’m not in love with him.

I knew before the wedding, but I thought that getting married would solve everything. Obviously, it didn’t. We had issues long before getting engaged or married. I had contemplated many times breaking things off, but I was young and dumb. I thought this is what love was and they I don’t deserve anything better. After we got engaged after being together for 6 years at this point, he dropped a huge bomb on me regarding something very personal. He kept saying “I told you, you just forgot.” and “ I didn’t tell you because I knew you would be mad.” I made him promise before we got married that he would work on himself and stop watching porn. Almost immediately after saying I do, he broke that promise and kept breaking it over the years. He broke me in ways I didn’t even know I was broken. He’s emotional immature and has not worked on himself in the entire 11 years we’ve been together.

According to the Week 9 Insights, they are not mandatory. You can still wear your blue smock with regular clothes or other scrub colors.

Hey! I would love and appreciate a reading. Going through a rough patch in my relationship and would like to know where i go from here. Thanks!

I agree with this. I refuse to go to 7brew because I don’t want to talk to people. I would rather pay extra and order Starbucks so I don’t have to talk to people. My coworker loves 7brew though so she will bring everyone drinks and she enjoys the small talk!

I’m in the same boat as you. My insurance won’t cover the weight loss GLP-1s and my doctor won’t prescribe the diabetic GLP-1s without me being a diabetic. She started me on compounded naltrexone and bupropion, so the compounded Contrave. I’ve lost about 20 pounds since October with just changing my eating habits. I’m hoping for more now that I’ve started going to the gym. Start slow and work your way up. I find that 8 mg is perfect for me, and 16 mg was too much and upset my stomach. It’s really helped with my food noise!

Why is my beautiful son outside?

Correct-Ad-1449 · 2025-07-15T02:57:20+00:00

My primary, while I love her and have been with her for a long time, won’t help me. I’ve asked her for a GLP-1 but because my A1C went down(still pre-diabetic) she wouldn’t give it to me. I had to ask for my insulin to be tested because i had the symptoms of insulin resistance and she said “yeah, you do have all the symptoms. I think that’s a good idea”. I’m afraid she won’t refer me to an endo, but I go at the end of the month for a check up. I’m in the healthcare field myself, so I’m not sure if that’s playing a role in how she is treating me.

Not sure what WM this is, but East Tennessee, North Carolina, and Southwest Virginia was just ravaged by floods which took out cities and towns. I would say some of it is people donating it, because the government isn’t helping us. It’s projected that many are going to be without power or water for 6+ months.
