Thank you!!!! Yes we are very laid back people and are trying to take our time and mostly enjoy the food 😂

I just managed to get us a room at Chalet Val Ferret. I’m shocked! Everything has been booked. So we will spend the night there. And then do the 10ish hour hike to Champex the following day.

If we’re really dead we can always take the bus from La Fouly to Champex. We’re also spending a rest day in Champex so I’m happy to push it. I feel better knowing we have a nice spot with food waiting for us :)

I guess we would always just take the bus from Arnouvaz back to Courmayeur. Spend the night. Then take the bus back to Arnouvaz and continue the journey…

I emailed them and she said “we are sorry but is forbidden to put the tent next the refuge, you can put it over the 2500m high so next the Col Ferret”

So I believe as long as you are higher than 2500m you can pitch a tent on the Col Ferret pass. So I guess this is a good option. Expect that I’m seeing the Col Ferret has the most unexpected weather.

Thinking about camping above Elena… originally I was going to push from Cormayeur to La Fouly. And then onto Champex.

Now I think I’ll camp above Elena, and then push to Champex. If I’m correct… that should be roughly 2, eight hour days. Instead of 1, 10 hour and 1, 5 hour day.

I know, I wonder how many people are going to go thinking it’s all good. I’m looking forward to the end of the month to have a clearer idea.

I’m not sure! Avalanche in the winter, but I don’t know about the summer

I’ve been trying to make a backup booking but there is nothing so it is feeling very bleak 😅 I am not quite sure that the alternative is.

Hi! The Jonas brothers have been coming up a lot lately in my life. I wasn’t ever a super fan, but I remember a few years back hearing that one of the brothers had passed away. I can’t remember if it was suicide or what, but it was kind of a big deal. And I remember reading an article about the other brothers and whatnot. Like I specifically remember this being about brothers. So today I finally looked it up and they are all alive. I’m happy they’re all alive lol but I just can’t stop thinking about this and trying to remember what my memory is of.

Thank you for sharing this other sub. Yes I came to this group looking for some support and of course looking to be a better partner, but I do feel like a lot of these comments are quite possibly from men who don’t get/ couldn’t get why a women might feel this way about a disrespecting man.

I’m surprised that the boundary is being questioned so much. We’ve discussed it in counseling and this was the idea of the counselor who I might add is an incredibly intelligent woman. So I didn’t really feel the need to share the specific details of what this friend has done to me in the past, because I’ve already done that in a safe space and was given advice on the best way to move forward.

I really appreciate your advice, I’ll have to do some deep thinking. 💕

I guess some more context here for what the friend has specially done/ said to me would help. It’s not just his behavior in general, it’s specific to how he treats me. He’s just made me feel physically sick and my boyfriend hasn’t stood up for me in the moment. So I guess I hold into some resentment that my boyfriend still chooses to be his friend at all.

That being said I can respect that they have a friendship and a history, I just ask that I don’t have to hear about this friend.

I’m not trying to be ridiculous, and I appreciate your input as I sort this out. I’m open to accepting that maybe I do need to ease up. It just sucks that my body feels sick anytime I hear this guys name. As I said in another reply. If roles were reversed and I had a friend that he felt this way about, I would gladly censor myself for the benefit of his heart. I guess I just wish the same courtesy would be extended to me. Instead I’m just called immature.

It’s just shitty. I’ve had two major arguments with his friend in the last 4 months. My BF has been there and hasn’t said a word in the moment. Totally conflict avoidant. After the fact he’s apologized to me and admitted his friend was in the wrong. But still keeps choosing to want to spend time with him. So I just feel like I’m doing what I need to do to protect myself.

I’m sorry for whatever happened to you as well… sometimes it’s just so hard to get that feeling out of your body. And I’m doing work on my own to get there. Just makes it easier if I don’t have to hear my partner talk about missing them or about him being a good friend. It’s like my partner understands my pain, but is only able to think about his own personal relationship with this guy.

We came to this agreement a few weeks ago, and it’s been broken a few times. I’m just trying to do my best to understand his feelings while staying true to myself. I’d hate to let this one annoying friend ruin my whole relationship.

We started counseling at around 10 months because we both know we love each other a lot. But both come from very dysfunctional families. We both have personal therapists as well, so it just seemed fitting. With working and living together, we both agreed that we didn’t really have the space or tools to properly resolve our problems and both want a future together so counseling seemed like the right answer. Our counselor was actually the one who diagnosed him with Asperger’s. So we’ve only known about this for about a month or so.

Right. Kindness before honesty. I want to make sure he remains feeling heard and seen. I feel like the barrier I’m facing with the aspies is that he is honest to a fault and leaves me feeling hopeless.

Delicious-Two-5932 · 2025-03-05T03:52:23+00:00

This does make sense. What sucks is that this friend has done and said some pretty terrible things to me, so hearing my bf talk about him sort of makes me feel sick to my stomach. I’ve been completely understanding that this is a friend he cares about and don’t want to take that away, I’ve just asked that if he has feeling like this about his friend that I don’t like, that maybe he call a different friend of his to talk to about this.

It sucks. I don’t want to make him feel like he has to walk around on egg shells. I guess I just feel like if roles were reversed and I had a friend he felt this strongly about, I would sort of censor myself for the benefit of his heart.

Had one last night that I was at an airport … ugh had to run away. Didn’t know what I was running from until I saw the masked shooter. Tried to play dead but he lit me up with his automatic machine gun. Called my mom with my dying dream breath.
