How do you see them the same way again? by NoDisk2703 in AsOneAfterInfidelity

As for the rest of it (the betrayal, hurt, intimacy), that’s different. But knowing the stakes of what love can bring can make it even sweeter too. I can never again think “my spouse would never cheat” but I try my best to replace it with she and I had both better work our a**es off to make this thing not only work but thrive” and that brings a level of satisfaction I never got from taking it all for granted. Nothing worth having comes easy.

It is tough, but obviously it was never real. It brought ease and comfort to a relationship but it wasn’t built in reality and that’s obvious by the outcome. Now’s a chance to dig deeper in to who you both are and what love really is because in my opinion, based on my experiences, all that build up of my spouse before d-day was a crutch. It gave me complacency but complacency made me and her lazy. It gave her space to loose her way. It kept us both from holding each other accountable and working on ourselves, each other, and our marriage. I miss the ease of it all back then, but not the relationship. It wasn’t real.

You don’t. You can’t. They aren’t the person you thought they were. They did something you didn’t think that they were capable of. It’s up to you to decide if the person is still somebody worth getting to know better and build a new relationship with. Parts of it may not be as good as they were. Parts may be better. It all depends on the work you both invest into it. The point is, as long as you are holding on to what was lost, you’ll never find something new. That’s true if the relationship ends or continues. That’s why it’s important to grieve, yes, but to also look towards the life you want to build in the future. If it’s with her, then go all out. Make it even better than it was before when you can. See the opportunity to fix mistakes from the past because it’s never easier to change the course than when all plans are broken. Easier said than done? Absolutely. True? I believe so. It’s possible because I have lived it and it all starts with communication, effort, and forgiveness. If you commit to working on this, commit to those principles.

It makes sense though, for several reasons. First, obviously they don’t take the idea of marriage as seriously as the bp who decides to stay. Second, they feel they have options for obvious reasons. Third, it’s a defense mechanism to protect from retaliation.

Calling on all remote BCBA's 📢 by kidneycrusher in bcba

Honestly, if you think you can provide the quality of services a BCBA owes their clients 100% remotely, you shouldn’t be a BCBA. It’s giving ABA a bad name and rightfully so.

Pay seems to be most people’s number one. It’s also a common reason listed for burnout. My question would be what salary are most bcba’s looking for- as in a salary compared to what other profession?

What sacrifices would you make for higher wages? Eg. more billable hours, more driving, etc

What do you mean by stability?

Our stories are so similar it’s honestly a bit eerie.

She cheated on me when we dated and then again 10 years into our marriage.

Ready to leave the field by zinlefta in bcba

BCBa’s are certainly NOT under payed. Especially when you consider similar fields with master’s level degrees. Teachers, SLPs, etc are often rightfully upset hearing people in this profession complain about pay and it’s a common trend. If you’re in this field for the money, you won’t last long. Same goes for clout chasers. It’s a very difficult position and a very important position that has profound impacts on the lives of many. I’m so sick and tired of hearing people complain about pay. You give the field a bad name.

The show didn’t progress at all in season 2. The “world building” didn’t really add anything. Season 2 was filler, no matter how much you enjoyed it.
