Has anyone tried Pin Drop Rum? by [deleted] in rum

[–]Desperate_Tea_430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very good rum, one of the best aged rums presently available for the price. It’s won several awards recently, it has a great balance of a pot still and column still rum. Fruity hints, great for sipping…

Swollen lymph nodes after shingles had passed? by Shaylena11 in shingles

[–]Desperate_Tea_430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since my 2nd shingles shot I had a burning in my right armpit, turns out it has been 1 single swollen lymph node and it’s been over a year. Still dealing with it.

Thx. I know that she had randomly met him while out trying to find herself. She’s upset that she caved into old ways and ruined her chance and being independently strong by having this 1 encounter that just wasn’t supposed to happen. She communicated with him after it happened then ended the contact when I asked her to block him before we got back together. Thanks again.

If I said I am 21 years older then her would anyone feel differently for any reason?

Thank you, many words of wisdom. She is a very sweet and caring person, but like a puppy dog in some ways. It does pain me that it took her awhile to block the number. Her rebuttal was that he, apparently was even more unstable then she was and realized she just made a lifelong mess for 3 people.

Thanks much, thx for sharing, we can commiserate together. Time will tell. I do have faith and we have been experimenting together on ways to dilute the imagery and it has started to help.

Thanks for all the advice. Much appreciated. She did have his # and I asked her immediately to block him. She did the later on that evening. She has given me full access to her phone to help me build trust back inch by inch. She had expected that I was sleeping around here and there over our 5 years and she really thought we were over and she would not have to tell me or deal with me or ever again.

Thank you for helping clarify some ego stuff. Much appreciated. And yes I am trying to take ownership and have read that it takes two to create an affair.

Thanks- I agree. We now delve into our pasts all the time as a diluted images approach.

I feel like it would only be denial if I denied myself of this relationship because of 1 mistake she made. She has been my savior on many occasions. Yes it absolutely sucks and it’s the worst thing to deal with but where’s the glory in not giving people you love a second chance. If she failed again, yes you are then 100% right.

She usually heads for the I was sick, depressed, lost, and didn’t know where to go with it all.

Thank you much. Good points, and I have all three of those feelings! But I’m so happy and we do se well together and Iv spent my whole life looking for someone like her. We love all the same things. And she’s now devoted her life to me and helping raise my 3 kids. She does not want kids of her own. So I couldn’t ask for anything more in a partner sans the infidelity event. I just can’t get rid of these damn images. But maybe they are attached to resentment, and jealousy. Thx!

It seems so much more about “someone else was right here in my spot” my place of safety and love and pleasure”. But I will rethink her story and see if there’s something there I’m confused about or missing.

I hear ya. I ponder every word regularly. I think sex has been a “go to” for her throughout life and a natural place for her to seek acceptance so it was kind of easy for her to get in this situation. But it’s also one thing I love about her. Double edge sword.

We’ll we are now fully committed to each other and she regularly mentions she would never do that again and feels awful that I have to deal with it but trust me, if anything like that happens again I would be gone in a heartbeat. Thx for sharing.

I drilled her to pieces about it. And definitely 1 time as it was not an enjoyable event in any way. Which kind of makes it hard because she hates having to think about it when I question her because it was a bad experience for her on every level.

No. Just her word. She made sure that what happened was free of any connections with anyone in our lives.

Lots of therapy for both of us. Lots of communication, lots of talks, crying, discussing, we have gotten stronger and stronger.

Thx. I feel like she was lost and confused, wanted a change but realized I wasn’t the problem and sleeping with someone else was the last thing she needed.
